New animal rescue policy is sound judgment amid misdirected anger
Roswell made national headlines recently when on June 11 a 9-year-old boy was attacked by three pit bull mixes that escaped from a local animal rescue that had adopted the animals from the city's shelter.
Fortunately, the boy's father, a Roswell police [auth] officer who was carrying his service firearm, shot and killed one of the dogs and stopped the attack. Though the boy spent a day in the hospital, it appears that he will successfully recover from the attack. In the next two days, fuel was added to the fire when the city's mayor, Dennis Kintigh, decided to suspend adoptions by the city shelter to rescue shelters within the state of New Mexico until the dog mauling incident could be investigated and the city's policy on pet adoptions could be revamped, if that action was needed.
An unfortunate fallout of the dog attack and the subsequent action by the mayor is how it has brought out the lunatic fringe on both sides of the issue. On one side, there were those posting on the newspaper's Facebook page that pit bulls, as a breed, should be exterminated, while on the other side, there was a backlash to the mayor's decision to temporarily suspend adoptions to third-party shelters until the city's investigation was complete.
A television station in Denver on its website and broadcast had incorrectly stated the mayor had banned adoptions. The touchy-feely news segment featured volunteers from shelters in Colorado making the trip to Roswell to spare animals from the death sentences imposed from what was portrayed by the TV station as an uncaring city and its leader.
Further, there was a lot of misinformation disseminated on the newspaper's Facebook page when one or two posters apparently got the date confused on when the boy was attacked. The attack occurred on Wednesday, June 11, but a few posters incorrectly stated that the boy was attacked on June 4, also a Wednesday, and that two days later, June 6, the newspaper had the audacity to publish an advertisement for Doggy Saviors, the shelter from which the three pit bulls escaped. The newspaper had also published a Facebook ad for the shelter. The newspaper was accused by one poster of "helping another child getting mauled by promoting a rescue that produces child maulers." Another poster even used the words "baby killers."
The newspaper staff regrets what happened to the boy as much as anybody else and our thoughts and prayers are with the child and his family. Newspapers make a large part of their revenue by publishing advertisements. Just about every newspaper in the country publishes ads from their local GM car dealership, but that doesn't mean any of those newspapers contributed to the deaths of people killed by the faulty ignition switches that had prompted a massive recall. I had even responded to a couple posts, asking the writer where he or she got his or her information. Neither responded, which tells me these individuals were merely using the Internet to vent misdirected anger with complete disregard for accuracy or truth.
The responses from the other side, people claiming Kintigh had gone too far by restricting adoptions from the shelter, were equally as outrageous. One Facebook poster called everyone in Roswell "a bunch of rednecks and hicks."
But the strangest response was a phone message left on my voicemail by a woman calling from Pennsylvania who claimed to be representing a group called Humanitarianism First.
She said she had tried contacting the mayor with three different phone numbers but none of them were good. She said citizens had a right to contact their mayor, as if there were those conspiring to post fake phone numbers on the Internet so no one could call the mayor.
I called City Hall myself, using the number posted for the mayor on the city website, and got through just fine. The woman from Humanitarianism First said she wanted to speak to not just the mayor, but the governor, and that she was calling from the "East Coast" and "East Coast" people were mad about the mayor's decision. She sent a text message to the newspaper with a similar request, adding she also wanted to speak to state representatives.
First of all, a big part of the reason I moved out West, where there seems to be an underlying libertarian philosophy, was to get away from "East Coast" people who think they have the right to boss other people around. I'm sure most people in Roswell, whether natives or transplants like myself, feel the same.
Further, I don't think the governor has the time to involve herself in every contentious issue in every municipality in the state, and even if she did, she probably doesn't have the authority. But what surprised me most about this call was that an organization that calls itself Humanitarianism First, claiming that it is a human being's duty to improve the lives of other people, would seem to be more concerned about dogs that could potentially kill or harm people than the life of a 9-year-old child.
I should confess that am writing this column Friday morning on my sister's kitchen in Watertown, Tenn., a small town 40 miles east of Nashville. Despite the heat and humidity, it's beautiful here in rural Tennessee.
By the time the City Council concludes its special meeting Friday to decide whether to approve the mayor's proposed letter of agreement between the city and animal rescue groups, I will be touring downtown Nashville with my sister and brother-in-law, so I won't be able to respond to the council's decision in this column. On Monday last week, Kintigh outlined a plan that won't allow a rescue organization to take animals from the shelter unless they can show proof of its 501c3 status and sign an agreement to allow the city to inspect their kennels.
City investigators found the conditions at Doggy Saviors, which was using the nonprofit status of another local animal welfare organization, to be "deplorable." I am crossing my fingers that this policy, or another similar to it, will be adopted by the city.
I am an animal lover and wholly support pet adoptions and rescues, having adopted my own pet from the city shelter in Pampa, Texas.
Rescuing animals that would otherwise be put down is a worthy cause.
However, we must first protect human life and it is not unreasonable to expect rescue shelters to play by the city's rules if they wish to rescue animals from our shelter.

Re: Re: discrete math, how many zeroes in 125!
Just to clarify the problem, I believe Tim wants the number of TERMINAL

Oldred I do not mean to throw a wrench in the works but could you show me the specs on .030 flux and.035 solid wire? Flux core wire, just like SMAW ( stick welding) is much more ductile than hard wire. Hard wire is good
I have built bridges, ski lift towers, high rise buildings and many other types of steel structures in my day. All using flux core, SMAW ( stick ) and sometimes dual shield. Even when I worked indoors building ski lift towers for CTEC-GARAVENTA, the largest ski lift manufacture in the world, inert gas welding was not an option. I am not attacking your experience. But I want to make sure everyone gets the correct information.
Suede please read this info below and make your own decision.
General Usage Rules
As a rule of thumb, it is recommended to use a compact 115volt input (or 230 volt) MIG wirefeeder/welder indoors on clean new steel that is 24 to 12 gauge thick. 12 gauge is a little less than 1/8" thick. 24 gauge is less than 1/16" thick. The smallest wire(.025") will make it the easiest to weld the thinnest(24 gauge) material. The .030" diameter wire will weld a little faster deposition rate. If you need to weld 1/8" to ¼" thick material with MIG, you will need the higher capacity compact machine which will require 230 volt input. The higher amperage range of this machine can better handle your welding needs in a single pass and you may not have to waste time with second or third passes. The 230 volt machine could also run .035" diameter wire. To MIG weld material more than ¼" thick, you need a higher capacity truly industrial machine. If most of your welding will be performed indoors on clean material that is less than 1/8" thick, a MIG machine that operates on 115 volts is probably your best bet for economic reasons in that a 230 volt input machine will be more expensive.
The flux-cored process is only recommended on materials as thin as 20 gauge, a bit thicker than the 24 gauge we said for MIG. In general, this process is best for welding thicker materials with a single pass, especially if you need to weld outdoors such as to repair a tractor out in the field. A 115 volt flux-cored machine using an electrode such as .035" Innershield NR-211-MP will generally allow you to weld steel up to ¼"thick.
Note that this is more than double the thickness maximum of 12 gauge with MIG on 115 volts.
With the proper electrode on a proper machine, such as .045" Innershield NR-211MP, and a 230 volt input machine, you can weld steel up to 1/2" thick. Note that NR-211MP requires that the machine be setup for DC negative polarity.
While there are advantages and disadvantages to both processes, we will try to outline for you some of the most common.
* The best choice when cosmetic appearance is an issue since it provides lower spatter levels than flux-cored. The arc is soft and less likely to burn through thin material.
* The lower spatter associated with MIG also means no slag to chip off and faster cleaning time.
* MIG is the easiest type of welding to learn and is more forgiving if the operator is somewhat erratic in holding arc length or providing a steady travel speed. Procedure settings are more forgiving.
* If you are skilled and get specific proper guns, shielding gas, liners, drive rolls, and electrode, MIG can weld a wider range of material including thinner materials and different materials such as stainless, nickel alloys or aluminum.
* Since a bottle of external shielding gas is required, MIG may not be the process of choice if your are looking for something that offers portability and convenience. MIG also requires additional equipment such as a hose, regulator, solenoid(electric valve) in the wire feeder and flowmeter.
* The welders first job is to prepare the surface by removing paint, rust and any surface contamination.
MIG has a soft arc which will not properly weld thicker materials (10 gauge would be the maximum thickness that MIG could soundly weld with the 115 volt compact wirefeed welders we are referring to or ¼" with the 230 volt input compact wirefeed machine.) As the thickness of the material(steel) increases, the risk of cold lapping also increases because the heat input needed for good fusion is just not possible with these small machines.
* The Self-Shielded electrodes are optimal for outdoor procedures since the flux is built into the wire for positive shielding even in windy conditions. An external shielding gas and additional equipment are not needed, so setting up is simpler, faster and easier.
* The flux-cored process is most suited for applications with thicker materials as it is less prone to cold lapping.
It is not recommended for very thin materials (less than 20 gauge).
* When flux-cored welding, machine settings need to be precise. A slight change in a knob position can make a big difference in the arc. In addition, the gun position is more critical in that it must be held consistently, and at the proper angle, to create a good weld.
* This process creates spatter and slag that may need to be cleaned for painting or finishing.
And if I am wrong, please excuse me for butting in....
With a little practice you can make great welds with a flux core 110 welder. My Miller 135 will weld anything on my car I need....
Good luck Suede...!!!

Fool Me Twice? Congressman Duffy Complained About His $174,000 Taxpayer Funded Salary
Wisconsinites haven't forgotten that Congressman Duffy complained about his $174,000 taxpayer funded salary at a town hall meeting, telling his constituents, "I struggle." So Congressman Duffy's attempt now to hide his out of touch misstatements by proposing a pay-freeze just sounds like a desperate plea in the 2012 election year.
"Congressman Duffy looked middle class Wisconsinites in the eye and complained about his taxpayer-funded $174,000 salary, but it's going to take more than political posturing in Washington to cover his out of touch agenda," said Haley Morris of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "After voting to end Medicare just to give tax breaks to billionaires, Congressman Duffy is clearly worried that his salary and his seat in Congress is in jeopardy. It will be more than a pay-freeze when Wisconsin voters reject Congressman Duffy this election."
Duffy Complained About Receiving a $174,000 Salary. In March, video of Sean Duffy from an Amery, WI town hall meeting showed the congressman telling a constituent, "I struggle to meet my bills right now." The same constituent pointed out to Duffy that his congressional salary is "three times" his own to which Duffy replied, "I guarantee that I have more debt than all of you." [Talking Points Memo, 3/29/11]
Duffy Voted to End Medicare, Lower Taxes on the Rich. On April 15, 2011, House Republicans voted for the FY12 Republican budget which "would essentially end Medicare" and which would lower the nation's top tax rate from 35% to 25%. [H Con Res 34, Vote #277, 4/15/11; Wall Street Journal, 4/4/11; The New Republic, 4/20/11]

Fifty years ago this week, Man took the first step in what would be an exhilarating but angst tinged trek into the unknown, a journey of discovery into life itself.
Just as political turmoil can be triggered by apparently minor events, so the biological revolution which buffets our lives today began with a whimper.
On April 25 1953, Britain's Francis Crick and James Watson of the United States published in the British journal Nature their model of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), an intriguing molecule found in the nucleus of cells.
They described a double helix, joined together by rungs comprising pairs of four chemicals, and humbly suggested it could be the means for copying genetic material.
The implication was stunning: DNA was nothing less than the inherited template for creating and sustaining life.
But their discovery was couched in such excruciating modesty ("This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest") that it unsurprisingly sank without trace in the world's press.
Nor did it seem terribly earth shattering to other scientists, except for a tiny clan of biochemists who had been competing with Crick and Watson to be the first to figure out DNA's structure.
It took several years for the community to understand that DNA's strand has stretches, called genes, that are the inherited codes for making proteins, the building blocks of life.
Then, to make some practical use of this knowledge, scientists had to work out how the helix unzips to replicate itself during cell division and to create proteins, the substance of which living things are mostly made.
Today, we are in the throes of a change likely to place the iron and silicon revolutions in the shade. If the early 21st century requires an icon, it is a twisted ladder.
In the past decade, the biotech tide has swept into almost every corner of the human experience.
It includes DNA forensic tests to pinpoint rapists and clear up paternity cases. Tools to diagnose inherited diseases. Research into new medicines or lab grown transplant organs to halt or reverse those ailments. Novel crops which include genes spliced from other species. There are early DNA computers, which uses the ladder's rung pairings as living chips to crunch data. And there is the lure of "nano" technology, tools on a molecular scale.
But the genetic era is also more far reaching than previous technical revolutions.
For it touches on the core questions of human identity: Who are we? Where did we come from? Is it our genes which determines who we are? Or is it the way we are brought up?
For Watson - raffish, plain speaking and always controversial - the discovery of DNA was the final nail in God's coffin.
By finding out his own chemical recipe for existence, Man at last destroyed the age old suggestion that life came from some magical spirit or divine clockwork.
"The double helix answered that question with a definitive 'No,'" says Watson. "Its message is downright prosaic: life is simply a matter of chemistry."
Darwin, in the view of molecular biologists, was emphatically vindicated.
Man was able to trace his hominid history and then glimpse even further into the evolutionary past, peeking into the protozoan soup whose inhabitants developed into all life on Earth today.
"From a genetic standpoint, humans are essentially African apes," says Svante Paabo, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
For some, the thought of Man standing alone, knowing his past and shaping his destiny, is liberating. For others, the notion is deceitful and revives ancient fears of Man playing God.
Knowledge of DNA has already prompted rogue scientists to attempt to clone humans, something laden with dangers for the child but also reeking with the stench of Nazi eugenics.
As for the time worn Nature vs Nurture debate, the pendulum has clearly swung away from social influence and back towards one's genetic legacy as the big factor in shaping human nature.
But, says British science author Matt Ridley, we should not be afraid by the power of our genes.
"If freedom is what we prefer, then it is preferable to be determined by forces that originate in ourselves and not in others ... Everybody has a unique and different, endogenous nature. A self."

Join The Conversation
Jan 12 Posted 5 years ago As long as they keep the teacher-student relationship then I don't see any reason why teachers shouldn't be allowed to communicated with their students through social media. In fact this should be a natural process and the social media could actually enhance the teaching-learning processes. I am preparing to get admitted in a human servicers online degree and knowing that I'll be able to communicate with my teachers through social media among others is a comfort for me.

Much of the coverage of this issue has been incomplete and/or inaccurate, which has led to significant misunderstanding and misplaced anger. I've also been disappointed to see attorneys, judges and other leaders both talk and act without full knowledge of the facts. Although I agree that additional debate is a good idea, I think many folks who have resisted this law are promoting an inappropriate solution to a much larger problem.
I've written a post that offers a broader perspective on the law and the potential benefits of restricting interactions between adults and minor children in cyberspace. This piece also provides an alternative that enables individuals and organizations to reap the benefits of digital interactions while better managing the risks. It's entitled "Can We be Friends? In Cyberspace, 'No' May be the Right Answer" and can be accessed via http://tiny.cc/Friends-PDNs.

It may not be a good idea, but each school should make their own policy on it. No need to make more and more laws...
Sep 11 Posted 5 years ago
If not for educational purpose, communication between students and teachers via social media is not a good idea because of two reasons:
First, personal conversation between a teacher and a student is uncalled for -- unless the teacher also acts as a guidance counselor, which is unlikely. Besides, personal conversation is kept in private cubicles in guidance centers.
Second, teachers and students need privacy. Students, and perhaps some teachers, normally go to the social media to "be social" by disclosing 'hidden' aspects of their lives and personalities. When teachers are given access to students' "personal sides" and when students get to step on the imaginary boundary that separates teachers from them through the social media, more personal relationships could possibly develop. And that could later result in the blurring of identities, in which teachers could lose its status as being "teachers" who are seen more on a professional level, not on personal side.
In one way or another, a more personal conversation could lead to some sort of "information leak", e.g. how teachers evaluate student performance, how students perceive their teachers' capability, how other teachers teach, how they both perceive the dean's leadership, etc. Social media is for "social" networking, and part of it is personal disclosure which seems inappropriate and unnecessary in any teacher-student relationship.
I taught in a university for over 11 years, and I did not attempt to accept any Facebook invitation from any of my students because of these reasons I cited; when I left the academe and went to the social media industry, most of my former students became my friends in FB... :-)
Great article, thanks for sharing!

I think Jose is on to something with the Teacher Wall concept. In fact, I do think that teachers should not be friending students rather they should have a fan page that allows students and parents to like them. Now the teacher can have a stream of conversation with all interested parties. There is no reason why they couldn't use fan page for things like letting athletes know the bus will be late or giving out the homework assignments. They could answer questons and give home work help.
Overall, I think that this move would be a punitive one that punishes guilty and the not guilty. Instead of trying to shut down all teachers from talking to their students in ways that students can understand why not put more effort into trying to find out who is applying to teach in our school systems. What more could be done to collaborate accross state lines in order to prevent an abuser from going to another state to continue teaching.
Sep 9 Posted 5 years ago
I don't feel as though the setting of the communication is relevant. It has more to do with the content of the conversation. Is a private Facebook message any more of a risk than a private email? Should a teacher be meeting with a student in an environment with a closed door?
My point is not to show distrust for teachers. At times, they need to close the door and have private conversations with students that should not be shared with anyone, including other faculty members and the parents of the student.
The onnus is on the teach to keep the conversation and actions professional at all times. Once this is broken, it really doesn't matter where the communication takes place.
There should be strict rules about what the teacher can state publicly concerning students and the inner workings of the school, but that is another topic.

My intial response would first be no, not without a more overt marketing effort to highlight the seperation of the concept of "Friending". This gives the wrong conotation to school administrators, parents and students. If there were a more overt using of a phrase like "Student Of" or "Teacher Of" a la "Friend" couple with the restrictions of not seeing the "Friend" wall but rather the "Teacher" wall I believe this could work very well. It's a matter of establishing, dare I say it, building more "types" of walls to discern a relationship between friends and those of children. This way school administrators could openly and actively monitor those "Teacher" type walls and feel comfortable promoting those Teacher walls as they relate to the school and/or courses.

Google came out swinging against claims that it made an about-face on net neutrality by announcing a partnership with Verizon. "We don't expect everyone to agree with every aspect of our proposal, but there have been a number of inaccuracies about it, and we do want to separate fact from fiction, " the company wrote Thursday on its Public Policy Blog.
The company's five-point rebuttal includes debunking claims that they've "sold out" on net neutrality ("No company is working as tirelessly for an open Internet"); left the door wide open for wireless deregulation ("In the spirit of compromise, we have agreed to a proposal that allows this market to remain free from regulation, for now"); and have become too chummy with Verizon because of their shared stakes in the Android smartphone, which is offered by Verizon and runs on a Google operating system.
It's a defensive, but well-timed, posture. Advocates of net neutrality--including those who say regulation is essential to ensure people of color have equal access to the cyber-waves--are planning a big protest outside of Google headquarters tomorrow in Mountain View, Calif. And for those who can't make the noon rally, organizers are asking angry users to post pictures to Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr by using the tag #evilgoogle.
"Letters and phone calls simply aren't enough to protest Google's and Verizon's side plot to take over the Internet," writes Megan Tady at Save the Internet. "We need Google to see our outrage in person."
The groups sponsoring the event, which include ColorofChange.org, Credo Action, MoveOn.org, and Free Press, have also circulated petitions asking the company to stand by its "don't be evil" motto and drop the Verizon proposal. More than 300,000 people have reportedly signed the petitions.
D.C. Narrows on Broadband
Is the Washington Post right to say that support for broadband is losing speed?
It certainly has in the wonky world of Washington politics.
This week Congress voted to rescind $300 million of the Obama administration's $7.2 billion in broadband stimulus funds--an allotment that was once hailed as an ambitious investment in the country's technological future. They appear to be in step with voters: A new Pew Center study found that more than half of the country doesn't think broadband expansion should be a national priority, at least ahead of unemployment.
It's important to note that the Pew Center study did find that a significant number--41 percent--said that federal expansion of broadband was an important national priority. And many of those who didn't think so were non-users over the age of 50, who still didn't see how the Internet could be useful.
If Google's aim is to get the ball rolling in the debate, it's been a success. Tomorrow's rally should be a good barometer of the battle to come.

Because this country was settled by a number of different nationalities, our profile has become that of the combination of these cultures. However, before European, African and Asian peoples settled in the U.S., the land had bountiful indigenous foods.
Because this country was settled by a number of different nationalities, our profile has become that of the combination of these cultures. However, before European, African and Asian peoples settled in the U.S., the land had bountiful indigenous foods.
Some of the most important ingredients in American diets originated here long before our ancestors first arrived. Potatoes, tomatoes, chilies and peppers were unknown to the new settlers, as well as peanuts, beans, chocolate, vanilla, many varieties of squash, and nuts such as cashews, pecans and Brazil nuts.
Keep in mind that the foods and cuisine native to America are not limited to that of American Indians. The whole of South and Central America are also included � the habitants of what is now the United States may have had access to foods that traveled great distances up through the American Indian trade routes. For example, beans and squash are native to Peru and corn is native to southern Mexico, yet both were well-established crops in the Northeast by the time of the first European settlement.
The Incan, Mayan and Aztec civilizations had very distinct cuisines well before the first Spaniards explored Central and South America. Much of what we consider Mexican food was part of their diets: tacos, tamales, guacamole, salsa and tortillas (the bread not the omelet).
Wild rice was one of the staples of the diets of American Indians, especially those of the Midwest and Great Lakes region. Although called �rice,� it is technically not a grain but a long-grain marsh grass. Quinoa is not a cereal like the wild rice grass � it is instead a grain that was known to the Incas as �the mother grain.� Whereas other grains must be combined with legumes or seeds to create a complete protein, quinoa contains all eight essential amino acids. Both wild rice and quinoa are most popular when made into a pilaf like rice. Wild rice will need to be cooked for up to an hour with a 1 to 3 water/wild rice ratio, whereas quinoa cooks in about 15 minutes with a 1 to 2 water/quinoa ratio. Quinoa is often ground into flour, which can be made into pasta, breads, or other baked goods. It can also be cooked and eaten like a hot cereal.

Dennis "Denny" B. Rineer 56, RR Donnelly employee, Eagles fan
Dennis "Denny" B. Rineer, 56, of Lititz, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012 at the Lancaster Regional Medical Center.
Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late A. Cleon Rineer and Shirley (Sweigart) Rineer. Denny was the loving husband of 27 years to Kathy (Wissing) Rineer with whom he loved tea and conversation on the porch after every supper.
Denny graduated from Lampeter Strasburg High School. He was a loyal, well-liked machine operator for 30 years at RR Donnelley. An avid outdoorsman and hunter, Denny will forever be remembered for his larger than life laughter, his love of a good joke or story, his unwavering support of his beloved Philadelphia Eagles and his never-ending patience. He dearly loved and cherished his family, including the extended family created by Denny and his wife, Kathy, as they lovingly opened both heart and home to many children too numerous to count.
Surviving in addition to his wife are five siblings: Steven, husband of Patricia Rineer, Lucinda, wife of Timothy Bernhardt, Scott Rineer, husband of Patricia Spath; Christopher Rineer, companion of Cynthia Blymier, and Eric, husband of Sonya Rineer, all of Lancaster; and ten nieces and nephews.

Renegades' Franco wins playoff opener
Rays prospect strikes out eight, pitches seven scoreless innings
By Kelsie Heneghan / MiLB.com | September 3, 2014 8:17 PM ET
All season, Enderson Franco has been Hudson Valley's ace. On Wednesday, in its most important game of the summer, he got the ball again and did not disappoint.
The Rays prospect tied a career high with eight strikeouts over seven innings as the Renegades blanked visiting State College, 3-0, to take Game 1 of the best-of-3 New York-Penn League semifinals.
"He's been doing it all year for us. We think he's really good and that's why he was out there in Game 1," Hudson Valley manager Tim Parenton said. "[Wednesday] was statistically one of his best starts. He had everything going."
Franco (1-0), who "had a big old smile on his face" when he found out he was starting the postseason opener, gave up five hits without issuing a walk. He never allowed the Spikes to get two baserunners in the same inning.
"He's had some moments like that where he would go four or five innings of no-hit ball, and every now and then he would give up a hit and it would get to his head," Parenton said. "Our catcher, Wilmer Dominguez, is very good at calling pitches and [Franco] just located the ball. And sometimes he throws too many strikes, but tonight he had it all working. He threw it in, which is what we've been working on all season."
The 21-year-old right-hander shared the league lead with seven wins during the regular season, reeling off five straight victories from July 14-Aug. 9.
"He's awesome," Parenton said. "We have a six-man rotation in the New York-Penn League and every sixth day he would take the ball and go five or six innings, went seven at one point, but pitch count gets in the way."
Edgar Gomez followed the Venezuela native and yielded one hit while striking out two over two innings to pick up the save.
The Renegades scored all of their runs in the fifth, with Grant Kay capping the inning with a two-run single off Spikes starter Daniel Poncedeleon (0-1).
The teams head to State College for Game 2 on Thursday.
"It's awesome. ... For us, it's a one-game shooting match. We want to go up there and win Game 2, but we also know we have another shot in Game 3," Parenton said. "We started the year playing well and we ended it playing well."
In other New York-Penn League action:
Tri-City 3, Connecticut 2, 11 innings
Astros No. 14 prospect Derek Fisher homered for the ValleyCats, who got a sacrifice fly from Alfredo Gonzalez in the 11th inning to take the series opener on the road. Box score

Unwanted Kit Makes Impact In Sri Lanka
Trent Bridge Retail Manager John Ellison has lent his support to a scheme that delivers unwanted cricket kit to impoverished nations.
Consignments of unwanted stock have been shipped to Africa and Asia under the co-ordination of retired solicitor Mike Stables who contacted Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club in March to ask for donations to the cause.
The third batch of pads, gloves, helmets and shirts will be shipped to Colombo, Sri Lanka, before being distributed by Michael and other volunteers around the island.
"All of the equipment is put to good use and Michael has worked very hard to find sponsorship for the delivery and distribution," said John.
"We have sent Notts CCC t-shirts, playground equipment and coaching manuals and it has all been gratefully received."
Several other First Class Counties including Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire and Leicestershire have made contributions to the scheme.
Notts supporters can help the cause by depositing any unwanted kit or equipment at the Trent Bridge shop.

Reeves F. Glance
In Loving Memory
CANTON — Reeves Franklin Glance, 80, a beloved husband, father and grandfather, entered into his heavenly home Monday, April 7, 2014.
Mr. Glance was a native of Haywood County where he had made his home most of his life before recently moving to Greenville, South Carolina. He was the son of the late James Herschel Glance and the late Rachel Reeves Glance.

Mr. Glance was a U. S. Army veteran and had made his career as a construction auditor. He was a loyal and faithful member of the Church of God of Prophecy in Canton. Being outside hunting for treasures with his metal detector, going fishing and hunting were some of the things that he enjoyed. Reeves also loved watching sports — especially the Atlanta Braves — but his most precious enjoyment came from being with his loving family. Reeves will always be remembered as a true family man and a devoted Christian.
He is survived by his daughters, Pam Bishop, and her husband, Joel Bishop, of Greenville, South Carolina, Gwen Khorrami, and her husband, Mahmood Khorrami, of Fairplay, South Carolina; sons, Doug Glance, of Greenville, South Carolina, and Danny Glance, of Canton; five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Farrell answers the questions about Clay Buchholz and more leading up to Game 1 of the World Series.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Also look at all includes John Ferrell right now as it does every Wednesday at this time he's always brought you by -- insurance town fair tire. And Anderson windows John here we are you get -- World Series sweatshirt on I don't know if you've been outside the -- yet to arrive. At some point to the park and you get here early today but just -- five -- the energy the buzz outside Mike Wallace or off the show -- talking about it it is not like anything we've seen so far this season how much of that you get to see. Well we feel on. Feel good just with the magnitude of the workouts and and the number of media that might increase trumps you know divisional series to ALCS to now. Where we are in the World Series so we we see it on the inside -- we certainly don't get the pulse outside the ballpark that you might given hourly everybody gets to the ballpark but still. When you come together in spring training this is what you have your sights set for him and were fortunate that we've got a very good team that is taken us here. We'll talk about this matchup in the second but I remember when you guys went on Saturdays they're gonna savor this for 24 hours before we start. Prepping for the Cardinals that's when asked you about like game six going into that game what your feeling was about it. Did you have any sense and he can say it now he did in the sense that it was gonna and that night. Well I think you're always hopeful. And certainly coming back home that that's the feeling that we have coming back home knowing that we had to win one of two. We were very confident that the way the guys have responded here even in games where you know we've been shut down in the first 56 innings. As was panicking as was the case and a couple of those ball games the last series. But there -- there was an overriding feeling like you know what that this is gonna happen we we're know we're gonna have to grind it out we're going up against a Cy Young award winner and likely to be -- insurers -- The way he got off to the start that he did was pretty reminiscent of game two but at the same time we we spent a lot of time breaking down his start in game two. And we looked at the total number of not only strikes and he threw -- -- his fastball he he probably threw more strikes with his fastball in game two than the and I think it any other time during the course of the season. Why you tip your hat to a great performance we felt like it's going to be very different and difficult. To reproduce or duplicate that outing so. Not to say that we took a lot of confidence from a -- we kind of put that in its proper perspective saying you know he was dominant might have been asking the star of all year. Fortunately victory -- Simon where were sitting here they get ready for the world surged with. Miguel Cabrera and then just a few more -- -- start focusing much more we haven't -- -- since last Wednesday with Cabrera obviously he wasn't up to his usual standard is not -- -- it's got the injury that he was dealing with how much. Did you guys factor that into the way you pitched enemy handled him in the -- Well you it was clear that you know as we did our prep work from what we saw during the regular season and then what transpired throughout the course of the post season particularly in a divisional series against Oakland there was a pretty clear cut -- On how they pitched -- we we studied that. -- Even though you've gotten maybe some and I don't want you say an edge but if you've got it's kind of a plan that you feel confident and you still have to go and execute when we didn't. He drives of all the ballpark it's a double a center field gap for me I mean still you had to make quality pitches in three different times. -- came in with the game on the line and did a great job and in matching up with them you have a conversation with -- before and -- this is this is a role that we see for you -- we try to pump them up but I know something about your stuff. That will work perfectly against Miguel Cabrera you know what right as we get through September and we started to rebuild his confidence because it was shaken a little bit in September you know -- some outings where things didn't go quite as. Had been the case early in the season and we started. A couple of bouts of time to give him and get him out of that 1 inning I am probably made a mistake in Baltimore by sending him back out because he. Have you got through the inning and about eight or nine pitches -- back out because of a matchup didn't quite worked out well. And just realize that hey you know what when he comes in what that adrenaline flowing. Let's capitalize on that a lot of times relievers when they come off after the third out they'll shut it down and that's been the case with. With what has but little by little we started to gain a little confidence or he did himself and when he was pitching. And then in the in their lineup it was very clear that Torii Hunter he were two guys that we were targeting him and each time they rolled around he did a great job with them. Were you surprised when Jim Leland said. These are coming back next year Orton or did you had you heard among. Managerial circles that this could be last year -- Michael I was completely surprised and watching his press conference -- -- know that or to -- as he revealed that this was something that he said back I think on September 7 was a date which he gave. That was a shock won because you know -- you look across the field you see this that the state of given club in the and they are very strong team. Obviously had a lot of success recently in over a period of time. And then to know that this was already stated. Back that date they did either. Of those three people that knew. Obviously they did a great job of giving it to themselves. And then he even on the on Sunday the day after not knowing what he told his team after the final game here on Saturday night. You know sent a text messages congratulating human -- which traded a couple back and forth and still nothing about point. That's why it was even more surprised when it was announced and you know what you -- you tip your hat to a great career. And likely -- manager. Franklin Morales we've had a lot of conversations with him are about him on the show last couple of days. You went to him up early in the game when Buchholz seem to be tiring in game six. He did not have his command obviously that day. I was more curious about the thought -- thought process leading into it for the most part in that spot that you had gone to the resolute as our combo what was different in games. You know where we were in that game thinking that we're we're one run game. And -- the last one run game that were -- Lackey situation where it that was in the seventh inning and we are an inning earlier. And what Franklin really started to emerge over the last 67 weeks of the season was his ability to -- get a strike out in the key spot with men on base. It didn't work out that night so where we were to lineup up against fielder left -- wanting Martinez to hit from the right side of the plate he was the got to go to. If we felt that that was in my -- got to go through it didn't work out obviously with the -- -- it following the the four pitch walk. When I was careful not to go to Breslow because of we got into an extended situation in the you know extra innings and you always have to kind of balance about a little bit. That was the reason. For -- -- situation -- obviously comes and does a heck of a job. But as it turned out when they put Kelly in left field for Peralta Bennett gave it a run of 45 left handed hitters in a row. And it just fortunately worked out where drizzle sitting there waiting to go right through that part of the order. More often than not I don't have ulcers but Morales gets me officers at times I don't have the manager but now Purdue. For a year ago. What have you seen from him because I think at the the control issues -- -- Andrew Miller is the same thing when he's on he's really. Dominant that it times if you can lose and an instant where have you seen -- -- grow in that department because I think. It's no secret that they control has been an issue is. Overtime has -- it just says a -- referring back to that 67 week period -- you finally regained his arm strength where he'd been battling some arm issues really coming out of spring training things started to turn the corner form. -- he regain the velocity regained. More consistent strike strike throwing abilities throughout the course of that last part of the season as a mentioned. Yet the environment the setting. You know the meaning to each pitches is heightened in the in the post season and but get coming off a clean inning and what you've pitched over Detroit. You know three days prior felt like one who has -- and obviously and to leave at least got his feet wet in this series and was. No had faced the hitters that he was stepping in the box of the stepping on the mound to face that night and don't want unfortunate to work. You say your roster now for the World Series we've got your final 25 guys and you've set your pitching rotation for the first two games. Is there hesitancy to set it for games three and four as of now. No I have some you know as a mentioned yesterday peavy and and the holes and the children Saint Louis were still working through which which they each guy won't go. And I know there's been a lot of buzz on -- physical no conditional -- yeah what what's taken place the last couple starts. Yeah he's he's ready to go and he will start. Are there any restrictions. On Buchholz because you started to tire in the lasts a couple starts. Are on the same time you know Michael at the game will dictate the restrictions you know we don't go in with a hard fast number that he's capable of four or anything along those lines you know the one thing we have seen you know the -- when he started to its attire it -- happened relatively quick. So that's what we have to remain aware of and if it's in and around that same timeframe -- of giving game it's going to be depend on how many pitches he throws in the stressed -- so. You know what who plays that he he's ready to start this week and it -- -- think. Is he healthy out and if he wasn't healthy it was to the point of a detriment. He either current or long term we knew we wouldn't even hesitate we we pull the plug -- going another direction but. Yeah he's he's raised our. We talked earlier about Jon Lester he'll be your game one starter tonight it doesn't happen much anymore but is he capable. Of throwing games 14 and seven if need be to see that kind of great debate particularly is it viewed as you look at the the Cardinals in which -- hand and you know what they they've shown to be more productive against right handed starters are right -- pitching in general. So -- believe -- is does it tempt us. To go home games one for an seven but -- -- you looking at it I'll tell you that's looking at a when you bring back starters this late in the year on short rest in the post season hasn't worked out all that well so you don't know. We don't we don't know I mean -- were set to go through the first four starts we know that but you know that's where we've got a couple of left handers -- left handed them a bullpen. That if we feel like there's a better match up by piecing a game together with some lefties we may look to do that. But there right now I wouldn't say that we -- looking to bring John back on short rest. You said -- clay gonna pitching games three -- four just got short order. Is going to be -- -- the what's the consideration on who's three and who's. Probably you know both guys are aware that you know that. Who were -- -- mostly undecided what we're on December which they they they both know we're gonna start and I and I think that we take we might take a look at see how tomorrow night goes to see where the better matchup. Because that one of them. Has the potential coming back the second time. Is so that that's -- -- were looking in right now. This cardinal team looks good. And -- -- you know -- just start a -- and I know you -- watching video on them and preparing yourself for the Knicks team at least to our eyes like a more complete team than either of the two that you faced previously. And the guy that stands out almost the difference makers Yadier Molina you guys like to run you've had a lot of success running what does he do to change game. Well he's he clearly controls the game for them from a game calling standpoint to the ability to catch and throw with the efficiency in which he does. I'm sure you know in the nationally he's probably at the reputation of you know don't -- don't even -- don't even don't even attempt. But in combination with his throwing skills the pitchers do a good job of unload in baseball in in in the short amount of time to. Limit the opportunities. As well but that this is a very good team you know they they they -- or second in terms of batting average -- -- -- position. Their first -- some fifty plus points above us. So you -- they do a great job of staying inside the baseball what I mean by that is used in center field to the right center field approach. With their right handed hitters to left handers can do the same in the opposite way the senator left center. And it just allows from the tracked the ball and make very good contact there. They're fundamentally sound they're gonna run the bases even another base stealing might not reflect after the run the bases aggressively. They play very good defense on the infield in and their pitching you know youthful as it might be on the whole. Extremely talent. -- wanna give back and -- -- -- -- pitching in the second but the Molina question at least is something else for me it I look at the American League and that the best catcher from my untrained guy it is defensively is we yours where does. Where does readers how does Molina matchup with leaders. I -- as far as they're they're catching the throw I think they're very similar when you have guys that threw throw out forty either 45 to 50% of the base runners you know you're there they're trying to set the bar. And there's a probably a pretty big drop off the guys behind them so. That being said that they compare very favorably so where we have some familiarity with leaders we don't with yadier. On field. Experience or familiarity so. You know that's why we've got to be calculated. And we've got those continue to do our homework. To identify possible opportunities to not only take tiny feet but look to to steal by got right. Q do you feel confident that you have enough of the report that. Oral scouting report on Michael -- -- -- had a great post season run. And he's a young guy hadn't and that the body of work is not that large but what we've seen is is pretty incredible. It's really incredible considering you're -- fourteen months ago this guys on the campus of Texas a and M. And now he's gone through the post season as good as anybody that you know -- pitched this offseason and we just come through starters and in Detroit. That you'll historically might have set the bar as a group about this guy has been no less dominant today you think you've figured what's the point four ERA in three starts he's made. But the thing that stands out as the number of young guys that they have to take to mount a lot of confidence. They have a lot of physical abilities to back up or give them that confidence in and -- is no different but you can also look at Martinez seekers. Rosenthal Miller you know. The list goes on and on and we were gonna get power stuff thrown on us and guys that are not afraid to throw Walton play. Does that change your game plan at all minute against trade talked about being patient and and knowing that even if you got down into a hole early you might be able to bounce back late in the game this bullpen seemed better than Detroit to talk about your team being aggressive. Alex Avila throw -- like 17% of base runners just -- here is about 45%. How much does how much do you need to change your game plan for the team you're playing or you just do what you do. Well what we can't do is gonna say you know what we've got to change how we've done things all year that would send the absolute wrong message to our players. Oh we have shown the ability to adjust within Saudi given game and that's a testament to that awareness in the smarts. In the baseball players quote unquote that we have they're they're gamers and -- the played to the game situation that's going to be very similar to the series that as we -- or anticipated so. We we can't take away from our strengths and that is to grind out about will be relentless in the batter's box. But if we need to -- about early in the count we've shown the ability to do that against pitchers that have attacked the strike zone throw a lot of early strikes and give an at bat. We're asked about a lot of players and your team I think the most popular question in the last couple weeks or week and a half has been. What happened with Daniel Nava how to Jonny Gomes. Essentially take the job full time. Nothing's -- Daniel Nava and -- his credit you know as we as he and I have had. A couple of really candid conversations. He understands it and -- and what that it is is that here's a guy that's you don't hit 290 plus or or 300 for the most part of the year. In and all of a sudden you know against right handers he's not a lineup. If and as I mention -- and hey if this is the regular season and you were playing in these situations. I would completely understand why the red flag would go up. But at the same time I said there to me that there's some things -- some momentum there's some intangibles things that we can't qualify we can't put a number on the and that's not to be. Disrespectful to Danny on anyway but. I look at the six games and Jonny Gomes started and that. He's not the played every single time and people out there might -- the same and this guy has lost his losses gore here coming up to that that this reasoning. But the -- six and there were six and only games in which he started he gives a presence he gives us. A different attitude on the field. -- and whether that rubs off on all the guys to give them confidence. But I tell you at the proof was in the putting that when we've scored multiple runs inside of a given inning he's right in the middle of it ends he's an exceptional base runner. He is. -- And on denying he will in the box and on the field much like Dustin Pedroia and if that's the intangible that I'm referring to -- so be it. But we we can't step away from the way we played and he's been starting on its okay to a committee drive -- crazy sits on the bench for the entirety of the nine minutes and I know we know he really doesn't he really doesn't but I tell you what -- -- -- a lot of -- we are able to do more readily take advantage of those intangibles rather than he's sitting back and not being. In between the lines and again I don't want that to be you know degrading today in a nominee anyway because I think when we get over Saint Louis we play in a bigger outfield -- and I was going to be in left field. While speaking of that you are gonna have to play three games there which means you gonna have to make a decision at first base with David Ortiz and Mike Napoli how will you make that decision do you have a sense what you will do yet. Yeah that you know when we go up against Lance Lynn and Kelly. That there's more pronounced left right splits with those two guys as there is with Wainwright. And walker so. You know David is certainly going to be on the field one if not two of those games at first base. Know there's this is no matter preserving energy your preserving. You know durability. Who we we've got seven games left potentially and and -- won't mix and match and put the best guys in position to succeed that we hopefully can. Is it a is that a pain to deal with when you and you build your team a certain way American League team with the DH. Going to a National -- situation where you have to take either David Ortiz or Mike Napoli up. It's not a pain you you'd prefer not to take your 45 holes that are on the line up. But you know the I was even ask a question of the day do you heard it for a one game thing do you put Napoli behind the plate with what we're not going to be that we we would be shifting away away from anything we ever did during the regular season. But unfortunately one of those two guys gonna have to sit and being a pinch hit role. Until they take the field whether it's -- replacing David the late inning defensive replacement. But still that unfortunately we've got the the best DH and history of the game that. In one of those if not two. He's going to be limited to -- -- Mystique and one more trick question is thought -- it -- -- -- Victorino was in such a slump. Before that Grand Slam than it ever cross your mind to pension plan. Yet did. And thankfully I didn't do anything. I'll be quite -- because they're the number conversations at Torrey and I have throughout the course of the game particularly -- down late situations. Where you've got guys at your disposal. You know it ends. The thing about it is it when when we get into a bases loaded situation I personally take the whole recent history out of the mix. Because that pitch from the mound was forced to throw the ball over the plate you're probably not gonna get guys chasing as much. And fortunately personal curve ball that the third one in the sequence state -- middle plating indelible part. So who were gonna go and I was thinking knob right there but. You -- -- sometimes you're better off to stay in that Callaway and let them go play. Keeper wood hit a Grand Slam -- you would have been a -- anyway yeah -- talk to me quickly I know you gotta run but we got to here quickly about the kids in -- ball -- he is such fun to watch. At least for me I do enjoy watching him hit I enjoy the patience the poise. What are the characteristics that standout to you in and have allowed him. As a as a kid his age to do what he's done so far. You know my probably the things that you just described an end. The thing that stands out to all of us today and if coach uses everybody in uniform there's been a number of situations where he's been in the 32 count. Because of his ability and it would stay disciplined at the plate. And I've been on three occasions in this post season where he stepped out of the box called timeout. And almost three groups so his presence of mind in those moments to regain that emotional control we talk about. Steps back in a box -- take a borderline pitch for for a ball for an NBA again it in the midst of of building an inning and just to see the the pulse rate stayed so calm. The smile on his face he never it never leaves and so it if he's anxious which I'm sure he is hope he does one heck of a job of hiding. While it's been a lot of fun watching him watch in this team as we said the energy here tonight. Fantastic for game one at John -- always brought you by -- insurance town fair tire and Anderson windows. We'll talk to you next Wednesday I don't know what all of occurred by them I mean you guys. Could be in a completely different states you maybe get ready for vacation that -- you may be still a little thanks and next Wednesday we will talk again will look forward to. Yeah for sure look forward to it as well and you're right I think the the energy in this ballpark as we've seen and won the thing that our our guys thrive off of and what we felt was important -- -- -- and maintain home field advantage in -- certainly played out we're hopeful that happens in the series are there others that Red Sox manager John -- most important thing he said that next salt and holly at Fenway on WB yeah.
