I've seen the vids recommending those stretch bands, and I've seen top pros using them to warm up before a tournament round. My question is, if given the opportunity, or as a daily regimen, is it better to use the stretch bands or to throw discs? Why or why not?
Are there other exercises that should be used to develop power that are better than throwing discs?

Postseason star Wacha still trying to impress
JUPITER, Fla. -- If Michael Wacha wanted a reminder of the difference a year makes, all he had to do was peer up at the Roger Dean Stadium video board minutes before his spring debut. There, he could relive his October.
After the video highlights had ended and the applause had waned, Wacha took the mound with aspirations much simpler than those put on his shoulder last postseason. He just wants to make the team.
"I feel like I still have to make an impression," Wacha said after his 1 2/3-inning start. "I'm still trying to win a job right now. I'm still going out there trying to make a good impression and trying to get guys out."
Later informed of Wacha's answer, manager Mike Matheny grinned.
"Exactly the right answer," he said. "We should probably put that on a poster out there. Or a T-shirt."
Wacha's sensational October -- one that included wins in each of his first four postseason starts and a National League Championship Series MVP trophy for the mantel -- puts him in strong position for an Opening Day rotation spot. Last year, he arrived at his first Spring Training trying to get noticed. Nowadays, he's merely trying to keep a stranglehold on that spotlight.
Wacha won't be matching the standout spring results he had in 2013, when he struck out 15 and did not allow an earned run in 11 2/3 innings. He walked one batter in his five appearances last spring. On Sunday, he issued two walks in the first inning alone.
Searching for his fastball command, Wacha threw 30 pitches in that opening inning. Curtis Granderson clobbered a hanging one-out changeup for a double in between those two walks, but Wacha wiggled out of the inning unscathed. He retired two batters in the second before being removed due to pitch count (39).
"I think I might have been a little too amped up -- a couple fastballs up in the zone where I didn't want them," Wacha said. "I just had to settle down going out there in the second inning and it worked out a lot better. … I have to get better throwing that first-pitch strike, attacking them with my stuff, and then throwing quality strikes."

Invitation to France in 2014
Alexander Technique International Annual Conference
Friday October 24 to Tuesday October 28 2014
With a Pre-Day for Sponsorships on Thursday October 23
Dear Friends from Europe, North America, Japan and the whole world,
We invite you to join us for the very first ATI Annual Conference in France, close to the historic city of Bordeaux. We'll be meeting at la Maison de la Promotion Social, a place designed to facilitate professional gatherings, just 30 minutes from the center of Bordeaux and its international airport.
Meet with colleagues and share work and ideas in a delightful environment conducive to personal reflection and mutual exchange.
Be prepared to take full advantage of a region of France soaked in tradition. A world famous city of wine, Bordeaux has been designated a World Heritage site since 2007. Surrounded by highly renowned vineyards, close to the ocean, with exceptional architecture and town planning, Bordeaux offers the charms of tradition mixed with all the advantages of modern life, for a truly captivating voyage of cultural discovery.
We are happy to welcome our Alexander community in 2014 and delighted at the chance to reinforce our connections of friendship and professional ties.
The French Site Committee for the 2014 ATI Annual Conference:
Gilles Estran, Maryse Berninet, Anne Zimmer, & Victoria Leomant.
Thanks to our team in France for having organized this wonderful 2014 gathering in such a beautiful region, rich in tradition and culture. Our theme for this year is inspired by the French philosopher, Jacques Ellul, who hails from Bordeaux. He is said to have coined the well-known phrase adopted by the environmental movement in the US:
Think Globally, Act Locally!
Here are some thoughts on this theme:
How do I maintain my personal ecology? How is my personal ecology connected with my immediate environment? With the outside world? Is the use of the Alexander Technique a technology? In which ways does the Alexander Technique inspire social change? How can we change the local action and global thinking specifically for ATI?
If you would like to present a workshop in your area of interest at the conference, please submit your proposals to Julie Mulhavill, Workshop Planning Committee, email@example.com, using the ATI Proposal Form. Please use one form per proposal.
At this conference, we are excited to share everything that the Alexander Technique facilitates throughout the world: through research, course material, teaching strategies, documents, and performance ideas. Let yourself be inspired by the thoughts outlined above!
In ATI we celebrate diversity in teaching. We are excited by learning and sharing together. Please share this invitation with your friends and colleagues. Locally, there will be a discovery for everyone, and globally, a warm and radiant welcome.
Please note: for students seeking certification ATI arranges for ATI sponsors to arrive the day before the Conference to facilitate this process. If you would like to attend the Pre-Day for Certification, October 23, please contact Nicole Perrone.
We look forward to meeting and welcoming you all in la belle France next October!

A's win with small ball in extras after Cespedes' HR
Sogard scores from second on bunt, throwing error in 10th inning
OAKLAND -- When everyone else knew he was about to score the winning run, Eric Sogard didn't.
Less than a minute before Oakland sealed a 9-8, 10-inning victory over Baltimore, the speedy infielder had his head down at third base, his ears trying to pick up anything from a deafening home crowd that would tell him whether he was safe.
But when Sogard finally poked his head up, after racing to the bag on teammate Coco Crisp's sacrifice bunt off righty Pedro Strop, he was greeted not by an umpire but by third-base coach Mike Gallego, who was frantically waving around his right arm at least seven times.
Four seconds would pass -- though it felt more like four minutes -- for Sogard to realize that the ball that was supposed to be somewhere in his vicinity was instead in left field, following Manny Machado's throwing error, and that he needed to find his way up and to home plate.
"I heard the whole dugout yelling at me and screaming at me, telling me to go," Sogard recounted. "I was just trying to figure out what was going on."
Yoenis Cespedes, the man responsible for his team still playing in the 10th inning after he golfed a game-tying, two-run shot to left field in the ninth, would later say through his interpreter that he was about ready to climb out of the dugout and pick up Sogard to carry him to home plate himself.
"I think the whole team wanted to," manager Bob Melvin said laughing, "and [Gallego] was the one who had to resist doing it."
Sogard had to make it on his own, and he did with ease, with Nate McLouth's throw from the outfield landing wide of the plate as the A's came pouring out of the dugout, their second walk-off victory of the season -- after racking up 15 last year -- officially in the books.
Sogard caught his breath, his wild journey on the bags having begun when he led off the frame with a base hit and continuing when he advanced on Adam Rosales' sacrifice bunt that Strop threw wide to second.
"Probably something you don't see every day," said a smiling Sogard, a touch of cream left over from a celebratory pie to his face still visible near the corner of his eye.
"Once I got to first base," Crisp said, "I took a look back over toward third base and I was just watching the play. He was late getting up, but luckily he has enough speed to where he can make up some ground. I was thinking, 'Oh gosh, it's going to be close,' but thank goodness he made it."
It was in just enough time to help the A's avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Orioles, their four-game losing streak put to rest on the same day they got Cespedes back from the disabled list.
That, it seemed, was no coincidence.
"Everyone has a different element to their game, and he's a five-tool guy, so he can bring it all," Crisp said. "Going through a rut like we've been going through, it's nice to get someone like that back in the lineup who has the capability of hitting a home run and posing like it's a golf swing."
Cespedes' ninth-inning clubbing off Brian Matusz was just one of many heroic efforts in a game the A's once trailed by five. Seth Smith had a game-tying home run of his own, his two-run shot in the seventh that reinvigorated Oakland's dugout and erased the bullpen's continued failure to compile a shutdown inning.
Relievers Ryan Cook, Sean Doolittle and Grant Balfour each gave up a run, after Bartolo Colon surrendered five in six innings, before Jerry Blevins finally threw a clean 10th.
"We needed to fight and claw back and do something good and win a game," Melvin said. "You're not thinking about your record at this time of the year, you're just trying to stop a losing streak and win a ballgame.
"That's who we feel like we are. It's even more rewarding when you lose three in a row, come all the way back after being down 5-0 and you lose it again, all three of our best relievers end up giving up a run and we still win a game. To be able to continue the fight after some demoralizing stuff, coupled with the fact we had a losing streak, was impressive."

A riding for the disabled group has received a lottery windfall which will secure its future.
Haworth RDA has been awarded £406,751 by the Big Lottery Fund Reaching Communities programme.
The cash will enable the charity to continue providing invaluable facilities to riders at its Vale Mill Lane stables.
"We are absolutely delighted and relieved," said Jackie Butterfield, the group's founder and manager.
"The funding is important as it will allow us to maintain our current staffing levels, which means we can continue to deliver our unique form of therapy to individuals with physical and learning disabilities.
"We can now carry on supporting our 300-plus current beneficiaries, helping them to improve flexibility, core strength, motor skills, self-confidence, self-esteem and general wellbeing, and ultimately support their independence and help prevent their marginalisation from the activities of the wider community."
News of the funding has brought to an end an anxious period for Haworth RDA, whose previous lottery funding – £380,000 over five years for staffing and running costs – expired last year.
An application for renewed funds was submitted several months ago.
The group has about half a dozen paid staff and a team of around 60 volunteers, providing activities every day for riders aged from four upwards.
It has grown rapidly since its foundation in 2001 and now caters for more than 160 riders each year.
Riders also come from other parts of the UK on holidays, staying at Haworth Youth Hostel and taking part in riding sessions and social activities.
Last summer, four riders scooped a nine-medal haul at the Special Olympics at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire. Among them was Brian Bentley, who has been with the group since its launch.
Initially he was anxious, having never ridden a horse before.
Now he enters national RDA competitions and scooped two golds and a silver medal at last year's Special Olympics.
"In 2010 Brian's confidence had increased to such a level he decided he wanted to become a volunteer as well as a rider – completing his volunteers' green card and badge later that year," said Mrs Butterfield.
"And in 2012 he completed his ASDAN 'Towards Independence' qualification in horse care and horse management."

North Harbour have retained Liam Barry as coach even though they finished a distant last in the second-tier Championship division of this year's ITM Cup.
Barry, who took over the union in 2011, will be joined by Alex Dowd, who has been head coach of the North Harbour development side since 2009 and successfully coached Takapuna to the club premiership titles in 2007 and 2008.
Jeff Wilson, whose contract as assistant coach expired at the end of the 2012 season, had previously advised he would not reapply for the role.
"While 2012 has been a frustrating year for North Harbour, the board is confident that the combination of two very capable coaches with a strong North Harbour pedigree is the right choice to leverage the rugby talent in the North Harbour region," North Harbour chairman John Morgan said.
"The North Harbour Rugby Union has made significant progress in recent years in many aspects of its activities from the growth in player numbers to almost 10,000, the strength of its community rugby programme, to its success in many age-group representative competitions.
"The board, like many of our fans, stakeholders and supporters want that progress extended to include success on the field for our ITM Cup team."
Harbour won only one of their 10 games in this year's ITM Cup, a 42-10 defeat of Tasman in their final game of the year.

HAYWARD — The Bishop O'Dowd High girls basketball team struggled at times to find its offensive flow on Friday, but still cruised to a 55-30 victory over Brookside Christian-Stockton in a first-round Open Division Northern California regional playoff game at Chabot College.
Oderah Chidom had 15 points and 13 rebounds and Breanna Brown added 13 points and 13 rebounds to lead No. 1 seed O'Dowd (27-3) past the Knights (26-5). The Dragons move on to the NorCal quarterfinals on Tuesday, where they will face either St. Mary's-Berkeley or Sacramento.
The Dragons didn't play particularly well for the first 1 ½ quarters, although they did hold Brookside Christian scoreless for a six-minute stretch in the first quarter.
Nearing the midway point of the second, O'Dowd — which is scoring 66 points per game with an average margin of victory of 30 — held only a 13-9 lead.
The Dragons found their stride over the final 4 minutes, 8 seconds of the quarter. During that time, they scored nearly as many points as they had up until then and took a 25-15 lead into the break.
The second half was mostly smooth sailing as O'Dowd pushed the lead over 20 points late in the third quarter and rolled to its second victory over Brookside this season. The Dragons handed the defending Division V state champion Knights a 70-39 loss on Jan. 19.

BOONVILLE -- A Northern California dialect that is one of just two homegrown languages in the United States may soon go extinct.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Tuesday (http://bit.ly/YUeH46) that there are only about a dozen speakers of Boontling left.
The dialect from the area around the small Mendocino County town of Boonville consists of more than 1,500 words, many of them drawn from local names. The Chronicle says a phone booth, for example, is a 'buckey walter,' because a century ago someone named Walter had the first phone in the area and charged a nickel -- then called a buckeye -- to use it.
Other words are variations of existing nouns. The exact origins of Boontling are not known.
But linguistics experts say only Appalachian English in the Southeastern United States is similar in scope.

Long live the king
To one side, the twin captains who helped him secure his first league title, Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce. To the other, the two skippers of the side who won his 13th, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, handing him the Premier League trophy and insisting he hoisted it high above his head. Sir Alex Ferguson, football management's greatest winner, bowed out at Old Trafford on a high. This was the perfect goodbye.
One thousand, four hundred and ninety-nine down, one to go. Ferguson has 90 minutes remaining, at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, of his 1,500-match, 26-year reign but an era has ended at Old Trafford. As Swansea manager Michael Laudrup said: "It's a new world from July 1."
United have enjoyed the old world. The regulars in the stands at the Theatre of Dreams are accustomed to regular, but predictable, twists in the tale and Ferguson's 895th win as United manager was no exception. Inevitably, it was secured by a late goal.
Unusually, the encore came when Ferguson marched on to the pitch, armed with a microphone. "My retirement doesn't mean the end of my life with the club," he said. "I will be able to enjoy watching them rather than suffer with them. The last-minute goals, the comebacks, even the defeats are part of this great football club and it has been an unbelievable experience for all of us."
They have been remarkable, transformative times. Ferguson's first home game, a 1-0 win over QPR on November 22, 1986, took United to the dizzy heights of 17th in the old Division 1. They had kicked off in the relegation zone. They are distant days indeed.
For his farewell, Ferguson entered to a guard of honour and the sound of The Impossible Dream. He has made the impossible possible, the unimaginable reality. The consequence of the catalyst's success was that an often quiet ground echoed to Glory, Glory Man United. Glory has come predictably for United, Ferguson making trophy-winning second nature.
Supporters were provided with flags reading "Champions 20" and, as they waved them, Sir Bobby Charlton and David Gill rather unconvincingly attempted to join in. Neither, it is safe to say, has much practice at this sort of thing. Yet for the lifelong socialist in Ferguson, it was fitting: no one else has kept the red flag flying as high or as long as him.
One of Old Trafford's more famous banners proclaims it "the people's republik of Mancunia" but, despite their left-wing leanings, there is a king. Ferguson's reign has been long and glorious for United. "The most fantastic experience of my life," he said.
If Mancunian music was a theme of the playlist, Ferguson probably enjoyed the anomaly the most. He has been a fan of Frank Sinatra for more than half a century. To his lasting regret, he once turned down the chance to see 'Ol' Blue Eyes' in concert because he was particularly disappointed by a defeat to Charlton. But if Ferguson wouldn't go to see Sinatra, there was an airing of the 'Chairman of the Board' at the farewell to the godfather of managers. It was, inevitably, My Way. And now, as the end is near, Ferguson faces his final curtain, safe in the knowledge he has done it in his own inimitable way and that, time and again, he has been vindicated.
The soundtrack during the match, decided by the Stretford End, featured different types of Ferguson's favourites: paeans to Robson, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Gary Neville, Eric Cantona and even the cult hero Diego Forlan.
"I have been fortunate to manage some of the greatest players in the country, let alone Manchester United," Ferguson said. It was a send-off, too, to one of the finest. Paul Scholes, the reclusive retiree, has long looked for others to obscure him. He was content to be overshadowed by Ferguson, much as the timing of his departure, at the end of the day when Frank Lampard had rewritten Chelsea's goalscoring records, Wigan had lifted the FA Cup and Roberto Mancini moved closer to his own exit from a Manchester club, seemed designed to allow him to blend into the background.
Needless to say, he was not allowed to go quite as quietly as he has wished. "He's been an unbelievable player for this club," Ferguson said, singling out the veteran. The faithful servant got a great ovation; the unfaithful one was consigned to the stands. Ferguson has sent a statement with his teamsheet numerous times before and Wayne Rooney was omitted altogether, his manager saying: "I don't think he was keen to play."
In his absence, Robin van Persie, operating as the No. 10, was the supply line. Javier Hernandez hit the underside of the bar from the Dutchman's pass. When Ashley Williams failed to clear his cross, the Mexican slid his shot underneath Gerhard Tremmel.
After the interval, Michu volleyed in Nathan Dyer's cross and, jokingly, the Swansea supporters told Ferguson he would be sacked in the morning. Instead, of course, United managed a late goal. Ryan Giggs, making his 940th appearance under Ferguson, took a corner and Rio Ferdinand converted it.
Out of contract in the summer, he may not be at Old Trafford next season. David Moyes will be and Ferguson, referring to the time in 1989 when many wanted him sacked, urged them to show the man he anointed the patience he was granted.
"I would like to remind you that when we had bad times here, the club stood by me, all my staff stood by me and the players stood by me," he concluded. "Your job now is to stand by our new manager."
MAN OF THE MATCH: Michu. The day was all about United but the Spaniard showed his quality again. His goal was taken brilliantly and, with a wonderful pass, almost set up Wayne Routledge for a second goal.
MANCHESTER UNITED VERDICT: Ferdinand's first goal of the season brought a statistical symmetry, the 20th title involving 20 scorers. Giggs began on the bench. He will surely start Ferguson's final game, at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
SWANSEA VERDICT: Despite defeat, they played well, particularly in the second half, and have achieved their objectives. "We are 100% sure of finishing in the top ten," Laudrup said. "We could even be eighth, which for us is like winning the championship. Eighth is the maximum [possible] for us."

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Full Definition Mascara Reviews
One of the Better Drugstore MascarasThis is one of the better drugstore mascaras when it comes to holding a curl and adding length and volume. I never have problems with clumping or flaking. I also haven't experienced "crunchy" lashes, which I hate. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Original Voluminous is betterI have been using the original version for over a decade now, and when this came out, I had to try it. The brush isn't as easy to use as the original, and this one seems to go on "softer". You can achieve very thick lashes, but the original version is quicker and easier to achieve the look. This seems to clump less. It is priced right for what it does, it can be a back-up choice if the original isn't available. — 9 years, 4 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

Great balance of definition and volumeI've tried dozens and dozens of mascaras over the years, most of them high-end and pricey. The only ones that came close to meeting my needs were Benefit "They're Real!" and Dior "Diorshow," but what I really wanted was a cross between the two that would give me the definition of "They're Real!" and the volume of "Diorshow" and that also would hold a curl on my rather straight, downward-pointing l...read moreashes. Sick and tired of spending $25-$30 a pop to try more and more high-end mascaras that didn't quite meet my needs, I finally decided to try this highly rated drugstore mascara that had been recommended by a pro makeup artist in a TB article. WOW!!! Not only does this one hit the perfect balance between definition and volume, it also holds a curl! I'll never spend 4x the price of this wonderful mascara again on the high-end brands! I really hope they never discontinue this one. — 5 years, 6 months agoJewelrydesigner | 66 reviews
GOODWhat can I say about this. There isn't a lot not to like. I used to be a high end mascara snob because I felt that it performed better than any drugstore mascara that I could find. So I got away from it. I had used Lancome Definicils for years and then switched to Dior Blackout and used that for years. However, I go through mascara pretty quickly and wanted to find something that I would love that...read more would hurt the purse a little less. So I happened upon this. I find that this is almost a dupe for my Dior and I do use this mascara more than my high end ones now. The formula is just right in my opinion. Lasts all day. It's fairly easy to get off and is pretty easy to work with when you apply it. The finished product is beautiful. As I say with all my mascara reviews, I have naturally long lashes, so I don't need something that lengthens. I like to get mascaras that add volume. So with this I do get a soft voluminous effect and I get tons of compliments on how great my lashes look when I wear this. People who know me know that I always used expensive mascara so the looks of utter shock and surprise when I tell them what it is is quite amusing. I hate mascara that clumps and flakes. This doesn't have terrible flaking when it's new. I find that I actually get some clumping and flaking as it gets a little older, which is how I know it's probably time for a new one. But at that price, I almost don't care if I am not quite all the way through the tube yet. I keep a spare in the house at all times and I have probably gone through about 5 tubes of this already. This is my favorite mascara to travel with. I brought this with me to a week long trip to Savannah, GA in July and with the heat and humidity, it held up amazingly well. So much so that I took it to the Dominican Republic with me the following April. After a night of dancing and heat and sweating, again, it didn't let me down. I rarely like to travel with my expensive cosmetics for fear that I will lose, damage, or maybe it gets confiscated somehow. I have heard horror stories! I know I would be pretty mad if I was out nearly $30 on a tube of mascara! So this takes the stress out and it does what it's supposed to with a really convenient easy to handle price point. I will definitely keep repurchasing this. — 3 years, 5 months agohappylittlemess | 71 reviews
Very good mascaraI also use the Full Definition formula in addition to the original Voluminous formula. Very similar, a couple of ingredients are different but still provides smooth application, no clumping, makes your lashes full, dark, long, thick while keeping your lashes soft.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Mitchell Reiss
A leading expert on American foreign policy, Washington College's 27th president invites a steady stream of international figures and Washington insiders to discuss world affairs.
Mitchell B. Reiss became the 27th president of Washington College on July 1, 2010, and was inaugurated on October 2, 2010. The former Special Envoy to the Northern Ireland Peace Process and a key official addressing the North Korean nuclear crisis had been most recently Diplomat-in-Residence at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where he held a number of leadership positions, including Vice Provost for International Affairs, Dean and Director of the Wendy and Emery Reves Center for International Studies; he also held appointments in the School of Law and the Government Department. President Reiss left Washington College in the summer of 2014 to take over the position of President and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
State Department
From 2003-2005 Reiss served as Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the U.S. State Department, where he provided Secretary Colin L. Powell with independent strategic advice and policy recommendations. In December 2003, he was asked to serve concurrently as the President's Special Envoy for the Northern Ireland Peace Process with the rank of Ambassador; in January 2005 Secretary Condoleezza Rice asked Reiss to continue in this position, which he did until February 2007. During this period, Northern Ireland registered historic progress towards ending "the Troubles" and realizing the full promise of the Good Friday Agreement. For his efforts, he received the State Department's Foreign Affairs Award for Public Service.
Korean Expertise
In 1995, Reiss helped manage the start-up and operations of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), a multinational organization designed to deliver $6 billion of energy (500,000 tons of heavy fuel oil/year and two 1,000 MW nuclear power stations) to North Korea. He led KEDO's negotiations with the North Koreans and served as its first General Counsel. Reiss was a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., where he started its nonproliferation and counterproliferation programs. He practiced corporate and banking law at Covington & Burling and served as Special Assistant to the National Security Advisor as a White House Fellow in 1988-89. He was a Consultant to the Office of the Legal Advisor at the State Department, the General Counsel's Office at the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and the Los Alamos and Livermore National Laboratorie
Reiss has a law degree from Columbia Law School, a D.Phil. from Oxford University, a Master's degree from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy and a B.A. from Williams College. He has written three books on international security, contributed to eighteen others, and published over 100 articles and reviews. His newest book, Negotiating with Evil: When to Talk to Terrorists, was published by digital publisher Open Road Media in September 2010 as its first original e-book.
Reiss has testified frequently before Congress, appeared on television and radio in the U.S. and overseas, and delivered numerous talks before academic, military, and civilian audiences around the world.
Council on Foreign Relations, NYC
President Mitchell B. Reiss was a participant in the Council on Foreign Relation's Higher Education Working Group on Global issues on January 30th and 31st in New York City. The Working Group convenes twice annually to explore the role of colleges and universities in a rapidly changing world and how institutions can most effectively meet the challenges of globalization. At this session representatives from more than 60 leaders of American higher education institutions and businesses gathered together to discuss current trends and what they mean for the future of higher education.
"The future of higher education will be filled with hard choices," President Reiss said. "Despite being one of the few participants invited from a small, liberal arts college, it was clear that all of the players are concerned with the changing realities of this marketplace and understand the urgency with which we need to act."

Tornado victims in Moore, Okla., will have access to free fresh produce as they work on rebuilding their lives and community, thanks to the efforts of Meta Dunn, an employee at The FruitGuys in Chicago.
Following the May 20 tornado that hit the Oklahoma City suburb, Dunn went to vendors at the Chicago International Produce Market asking for donations for the storm victims. Every vendor agreed to help, said Tracy Rubin of the JCutler Media Group in Los Angeles.
Dunn also secured the services of truck driver Joe Denny who donated his time to drive a semi with a 52-foot refrigerated trailer to the storm-ravaged community. Denny and Dunn headed out of the Windy City May 23 with the load of donated fruits and vegetables.
As an employee of The FruitGuys, Dunn is familiar with providing assistance to those in need. Founded in San Francisco in 1998, The FruitGuys are considered pioneers in the fruit-at-work movement, Rubin said.
While the company started out delivering fresh produce to offices in San Francisco, it has grown to have distribution hubs across the country. Each hub works with local growers to provide next-day delivery to businesses, homes and schools.
The FruitGuys also makes weekly donations to food pantries and this year founded a non-profit entity — The FruitGuys Community Fund — that supports small independent growers and sustainable agriculture.

Prince looking for a pitch to drive, taking walks
HOUSTON -- Detroit's Prince Fielder saw exactly four strikes in his four plate appearances Friday night at Houston, walking three times.
Fielder entered Saturday leading the American League in walks with 24, four ahead of second-place Lance Berkman of Texas.
"I'm just trying to get a good pitch," said Fielder, showing no displeasure at how opponents are pitching around him. "It's part of the game. Its part of hitting -- walks, hits, trying to help the team. It's no different than a single."
Fielder has learned to be more selective over the years. He walked over 100 times in each of his last three years in Milwaukee, 2009-11.
"That comes from getting a little more mature, knowing yourself and knowing what you can actually hit without making an out," he said. "There's certain pitches I know I can't hit, whether it's a strike or not. I try to wait for a pitch I know I can hit hard."
Manager Jim Leyland praised Fielder for his patience at the plate.
"Most people try to get good hitters out on balls," Leyland said. "You can't lose your patience. You can expand your zone, but you can't expand it too much or you're going to make outs. You swing at strikes, you get hits, you swing at balls, you make outs. It's that simple. "[Fielder's] a very patient guy and he's done a good job of that. Very rarely does he expand to swing [at balls]. That's smart. He's got a pretty good hitter behind him."
That would be veteran designated hitter Victor Martinez.
In Thursday night's 14-inning game, Austin Jackson doubled to lead off the 14th. Torii Hunter moved him to third, and the Astros walked Miguel Cabrera intentionally to set up a double play.
That brought Fielder to the plate, but the Astros walked him, too, to load the bases. Fielder was a little surprised he was walked intentionally.
"Thankfully they did and [Don Kelly] got the job done," Fielder said of Kelly, who singled in the go-ahead run. "So it worked out."
Fielder said the walks are not part of his game plan.
"I'm not going for the walk at all," he said. "The more aggressive you are, the better you see the ball. They might throw strikes, but I'm still waiting on the strike I can hit.
"I never swung at a lot of bad pitches coming up," he said of his days in the Minors. "Pitchers didn't know me yet, so they gave me more what I wanted to swing at. When you get up to the big leagues, the pitchers are different."

Michael Solomon, president and chief executive officer of Irwindale, Calif.-based Ready Pac Foods Inc., is retiring and will be succeeded by Phillip Theodore.
Solomon had both roles since 2008, after serving as chief operating officer. He joined Ready Pac in 2006.
Theodore, who recently joined the company as chief operating officer, will add the president and chief executive officer titles. He began his career in the retail supermarket business in the early 1980s with Wegmans.
Later he had executive and board positions with consumer packaged goods companies. Theodore has experience in private label and national brand distribution at retail.
The transition will take place by the end of May, said Tristan Simpson, director of marketing and corporate communications.
"I have decided that now since I have a strong senior executive on board to focus on the operations and financial aspects of the business, and one who complements an already strong management team," Solomon said in a news release, "the time is right for me to retire from Ready Pac. I look forward to spending more time with my wife and two and a half year old son."
He led Ready Pac through several years of record results, according to the release.
Solomon has been president of M. Solomon & Associates since 1985. His past positions included stints as president of Max Factor Cosmetics and Mann Theaters.
"This company has great employees, innovative products, and collaborative distribution partners and is well positioned for exciting growth," Theodore said in the release.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's no denying that 2012 is a year Atmel ( ATML) wants to forget.But although the semiconductor giant has lost roughly half of its value over the past three quarters, the company's performance has not been that bad relative to the Street's expectations. Even though Atmel disappointed investors with its downward guidance in the third quarter, it was in line with projections made by the group's high flyers such as Qualcomm ( QCOM) and Broadcom ( BRCM). So far, it appears investors are now beginning to make this connection. But is it too late? Since reaching a 52-week low of $4.37 a month ago, Atmel shares have soared 30%. This leads me to believe the stock has touched bottom. As I've noted previously, upon the release of the company's third-quarter results, there's still plenty of growth opportunities. Again, as evident by the stock's recent movement, the Street agrees. On the other hand, there's a lot that needs to go right for Atmel for that value to be realized. Unfortunately, some of these requirements are outside of the company's control. For instance, although Atmel's management did what it had to do to get controllers inside both Microsoft's ( MSFT) Surface tablet and Amazon's ( AMZN) Kindle Fire, it doesn't appear as if these devices are flying off store shelves, according to published estimates. Likewise, even though the Kindle Fire continues to gain traction in the tablet market, Apple's ( AAPL) iPad is still regarded as the standard. Complicating matters further is the strong demand for Apple's new iPad mini. Though it is not yet clear how the lower-end tablet market will be divided when the quarter's results are released, according to current sales data Apple remains the leader in overall sales. Still, working in Atmel's favor is its technology is far superior to that of its rivals, which is why the company's products tend to cost more. This very fact brings up another concern. Granted, it is a huge benefit to Atmel to have scored wins with Microsoft, Amazon and Samsung but it also presents the risk that at any point these companies might decide to look for cheaper alternatives.

We had an early snow/frost, so I harvested ~50 pounds of green tomatoes. I needed a way to properly store them and found these stacking crates. The crates look nice, the price was right, and arrived in about one week. I anticipate years of use and harvesting with these crates. It's not a big deal, but I spent about an hour assembling three crates. The zipties used for shipping were too tight and damaged the wood a bit, I think it goes well with the rustic look of the crates.

We bought 3 sets of 3 because we wanted to keep separate apples from various trees apart. This was for the process of trying to identify what types of apples we have on our property and identify the taste as well (sweet, tart, astringent, flowery) so that we could choose what apples we could should/could put into an apple cider blend. We labeled all the crates by tree and they stack beautifully. It's nice that there's great air circulation to dry out the fruit.
On long car rides, I've started putting other items I've taken from my garden in a crate and then stacking another crate on top of that one to hold heavier items. This has kept my tomatoes from getting squashed on the ride and allows for more items to be packed into the car.
We had so many apples that I ended up buying 3 more sets of 3, but have not assembled those yet. It's fairly easy to assemble as well.

Anne Hathaway, Liev Schreiber and More to Join Hugh Jackman at Museum of the Moving Image Salute, 12/1
Tony and Emmy Award winner Hugh Jackman will be honored by Museum of the Moving Image at its 27th annual Salute on December 11, 2012 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.
Jackman will be on hand at Cipriani Wall Street on December 11, to accept his Salute from the Museum of the Moving Image (the Museum's 27th annual event). There are already a great group of friends and colleagues expected to join in the celebration to honor Hugh that night, including Alec Baldwin and Mike Nichols (both past MMI Salutees), Rachel Weisz, Anne Hathaway, Liev Schreiber, Universal's Ron Meyer, Fox's Jim Gianopulos and many of his fellow cast-mates from Les Miz, with more to come.
Carl Goodman, the Museum's Executive Director, stated, "We are thrilled to be honoring one of the world's most beloved and talented performers."
Hugh Jackman is perhaps best known around the world as Wolverine in the X-Men series, and has starred in films for such directors as Baz Luhrmann (Australia), Woody Allen (Scoop), Christopher Nolan (The Prestige), and Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain). Later this year, he will headline as Jean Valjean in the eagerly awaited screen version of the musical epic Les Misérables from acclaimed director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), set for a December 14th release.
As comfortable on stage as he is on screen, Jackman has seen additional success on Broadway with credits including the musical The Boy From Oz (for which he won Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Awards), his recent one-man show Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway, and the drama A Steady Rain opposite Daniel Craig. In addition to serving as Tony Awards host for three consecutive years from 2003 – 2005 (his second appearance earned him an Emmy Award, and the final garnered an Emmy nomination), Jackman brought hishoned skills to Hollywood where he hosted the 81st Annual Academy Awards in 2009.

These are not your mother's soccer moms.
While they still taxi children to soccer games, the 10 women kicking the ball around Heritage Oaks Park on a recent Thursday seem hell-bent on perfecting their own athletic skills.
Today, the excited shouts of encouragement are for each other, not for their children.
The moms meet at the park Thursday and Friday mornings for the Soccer Moms' Fun Fitness class sponsored by the Los Altos Recreation Department under the auspices of Coach Ken Mburu, known as Coach Ken.
Mburu hails from Kapetta, Kenya, just outside Nairobi. For 10 years, he has coached youth 4- to 12-years-old. Approximately a year ago, he received an email from a mom who asked if he would coach her and a few friends.
"They said that most leagues were for former college players," Mburu said. "These moms were new to the game and wanted to stay fit and socialize. Soccer is a social game. They're out there, under the sun, running around with friends."
The moms also wanted to play so that they could understand the game better.
"They wanted to put themselves in the shoes of their soccer players," he said.
For Mburu, the clinic is about "creating community." He hopes to institute a soccer festival where the entire family can watch mom play.
He said that in Kenya, a girl would be stigmatized and "not be considered a good girl" for playing sports, but "this is what America is all about and what makes America great."
A sports-oriented community
It's partly the Los Altos lifestyle that keeps Alix Apfelberg interested in soccer and sports. Until last year, she was director of operations at Cisco Systems.
"It's a very sports-oriented community," Apfelberg said.
The Apfelberg family moved to Los Altos from Menlo Park, where they belonged to the Westside Athletic Clubs, but had difficulty finding similar facilities in Los Altos. Soccer has become a great physical outlet for her.
Apfelberg has 10-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and a 4-year-old son. Her older son is in Red Star, a competitive soccer club, and her daughter plays on a team through the American Youth Soccer Organization. Both of them "really, really love soccer," Apfelberg said. With two elder siblings already in the game, younger brother Ryan wants to follow in their footsteps. Ryan is enrolled in a soccer class with Coach Ken, and during breaks in Apfelberg's own class, she gets him ready for his soccer class from his stroller seat.
Apfelberg finds soccer a great workout, especially because she doesn't really like running. She has been surprised to discover that the game is "much harder than it looks, but a great way to fill my time."
Her enthusiasm spurred her to join Kathy Lebakos in organizing the Almond School Moms Love Soccer Auction. Mburu donated his time and equipment to teach a soccer clinic to help raise funds for the school at the annual Walkabout.
Like most of the moms, Apfelberg thinks Coach Ken is "awesome and so much fun." She enjoys watching him coach her daughter, with "a great sense of humor." Mburu's daughter and his wife, Dorothy, both often help him on the field.
"I like the way he motivates the kids without making them feel scared," Apfelberg said.
Free to play team sports
Los Altos resident Hala Ramish remembers that women in her native Afghanistan were not allowed to play sports due to cultural restraints. She immigrated when she was in grade school, and always wanted to play a team sport.
Now that her children are in third and fifth grades at Almond School, she has time to devote to her own interests. In addition to soccer, she's participated in swim lessons and even a triathlon.
Although Ramish has been an assistant coach on her children's soccer teams, she felt she needed to learn more about the game. Since signing up for the women's soccer clinic, she has become more confident about her own skills.
"Coach Ken is amazing. He's very patient and he's funny, too," she said.
First to sign up
Rose Lue grew up in the Philippines and came to the U.S. as a freshman in high school when Ferdinand Marcos was still in power.
"I was very excited that Ken was doing this mom's class, because I had wanted to learn the game and didn't know how," said Lue, the first mom to sign up for the Los Altos clinic.
Lue, who describes herself as a stay-at-home mom and professional volunteer, watches her children play soccer and has even coached their teams, but she never really "knew more than kicking a ball around" with her son Nathan, now 12, and daughters Amanda and Diane, both 8.
Now she appreciates the sport better, and "it's great fun to meet other moms who like to stay active," she said.
Lue praises Mburu as a "coach who cares." More importantly, she feels "he's not in it for the money – he really likes the sport and is an ambassador for it."
Happy on the field
Dianna Carter, former Hewlett-Packard marketing specialist, signed up for the soccer clinic in September. She thought playing would be good exercise and that she'd gain new skills.
At any given practice, Mburu may introduce 10 or more skills before coaching a 30-minute scrimmage. He doesn't keep score, because "it's not so much about competition," but more importantly about staying happy.
Carter said the clinic has been "great fun, a fantastic aerobic workout," and she applauds Mburu as an "excellent teacher." Although at 55 she is the oldest of the bunch, Carter seems to have little trouble keeping up with the other women.
Mburu, who earned a master's degree in finance from San Jose State University, is also a writer.
"It helps me a lot with soccer, because I use very creative ways to teach instead of doing dry drills," he said. "We are having fun."
Mburu is grateful for the large, grassy field available for the moms' soccer class. Such spaces are hard to find in Kenya, he added.
Some players are not so fond of the dog poop they have to sweep clear before they start the clinic, a complaint they will have to lodge with the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Soccer Moms' Fun Fitness classes are scheduled 9:30-10:30 a.m. Thursdays and 9-10 a.m. Fridays. Fees are $140 per session. For more information and to register, visit losaltosrecreation.org.

Young Carmen Dula and her family are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime - they're going to Mars. Once on the Red Planet, however, Carmen realizes things are not so different from Earth. There are chores to do, lessons to learn, and oppressive authority figures to rebel against.
And when she ventures out into the bleak Mars landscape alone one night, a simple accident leads her to the edge of death, until she is saved by an angel - an angel with too many arms and legs, a head that looks like a potato gone bad, and a message for the newly arrived human inhabitants of Mars: We were here first.

"Grade: A-. A solid piece of science fiction." (scifi.com)
"Top 10 Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2008" (Kansas City Star)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Excellent story AND narration"
I love Joe Haldeman. The Forever War is one of my favorite sci-fi books ever. I listened to Starbound first, not realizing it was part of a trilogy. After finishing it, I HAD to start at the beginning of the trilogy,so got Marsbound. It is another excellent Haldeman story!
She does a really great job of bringing Carmen to life. She sounds just the way I figured she'd sound at the age she is in this book.
Get the entire trilogy. It's an excellent read!
"Marsbound" initially impressed me as a better than average YA sci-fi story; Carmen seemed at first an interesting character to get to know, and the structure of the story recalled many of the Heinlein YA stories that I cut my teeth on, many years ago. Around the time that Carmen was getting acclimated to Mars and Solingen kept getting nastier, I started to chafe at the lack of pace and coherence. I eventually persevered to the end, but by the time I finished it was more of a chore than a pleasure.
Perhaps had I read this book instead of listening to it, I'd have enjoyed it more. Kaplan's narration was just bad. I know I've been spoiled by narrators such as John Lee and the late, lamented Patrick Tull, but I had expected someone who is, after all, a voice actress to do a better job. Her "voice" for Carmen and the overall narration sounded like a child in elementary school reading a book in a sing-song (truly jarring when she was narrating a sex scene) and her voices for other females reminded me more of some anime characters I've heard. Really, really bad anime characters.
I don't recommend this book. For good YA titles, try John Marsden's "Tomorrow" series, or the YA books by Charles de Lint. For good YA sci-fi, Heinlein is dated, but still good. John Scalzi's "Zoe's Tale" is great. Take the money you would have spent on this book, and look for one of those instead.
"Weak performance"
Sorry, but it was impossible to get into this story because of the poor performance. Her diction is excellent, her voice is pleasant, but she gives no life to the characters and I felt like I was listening to a second-grade teacher read to children. I lasted abut 45 minutes, then gave up.
"I hope this is for Young Adults"
Having just finished "camouflage" by the same author and needing a book fast I bought this without reading any reviews etc.
Turned out this is (probably) a book for young adults. The main character is only interesting if you are in that age group (I suppose). The story is very slow and is a lot about relation to friends, family etc.
On the other hand, if parents are looking for a book for YA, I suggest they read the reviews below, regarding sex and drugs (!).
"Joe Haldeman, where have you gone?"
I've read Haldeman avidly for years, and his early stuff (the "Forever War," the "Worlds" trilogy, "Tools of the Trade," etc) stand the test of time.? The last several years, though, I 've picked up each of his books with dread (but hope -- that's what makes me pick them up in the first place).? With the possible exception of "Camouflage," which wasn't bad, my dread has been confirmed.This was not a good book. It was pretty bad.? To be fair, though, I have to admit that it's the first of his books that I've listened to, and the reader was comparably poor ... maddenly poor.? I made it through the whole thing only because it's Haldeman -- I love this man's early writing so much that I'm willing to take the chance every time a new title comes out.? Sadly, I'll probably do that until one of us kicks the bucket -- that's how good those early books were.? Now, if he comes out with something even close to what he has demonstrated he is capable of, all will be forgiven.? I'll put up with a lot of not-good books for another that I'll enjoy more than once.Sadly, this book is not it.? This book is as far from it as a book can be.? If you want to experience the writer Joe Haldeman can be, pick up something he wrote in the 70s or 80s.
"Could not finish it"
I agree with the first reviewer. You feel like you're listening to a novel meant for kids. The narration is ok but the story just gets more inane the deeper you go.
"A masterpiece"
Great book. Halve an has really outdone himself. Can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy!
"Weak and slow moving story"
It needed to be faster paced with real conflict. Everybody were too accomodating of each other. There was very little suspense. Most of the dialog was on the level of gossip. This just wasn't in the same class as the
Forever War is one of the best Sci Fi books out there.
The narrator did an OK job. Her performance matched the charactor.
There were no moments in the book I can offer as particularly interesting.
this audiobook start out with a child announcing "audible kids".the story contains sex, profanity, alcohol and drugs. marsbound is a light space opera, quite enjoyable (if you like the genre),but not for the easily offended or children. obviously classified by someone who only read the synopsis.
"Bound for Listening"
I have previously enjoyed Haldeman's Forever Peace audio book, and recommend that one as well. There is the perfect mix of science, plot, and character to blend a really good listen.
I was a little leery about purchasing this one on account, that the narrator of the story is a young woman. However Haldeman pulled it off well. And I was able to suspend my usual penchant for macho characters, to relate to her story.

Wardens Made Much Progress on the Border Last Month
ZAPATA, Texas — At and around the Falcon Lake area on the Mexican border, game wardens had a busy November.
"Efforts of game wardens in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies have been very successful in the past few weeks in the Falcon Lake area," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Director, Col. James Stinebaugh. "We intend to keep the pressure on all of our border areas to enforce game laws and assist other agencies in their missions when called upon to do so."
Following are some of the November accomplishments of the wardens:
- Wardens observed a Mexico commercial fishing vessel enter into United States waters on the Rio Grande River. When the officers attempted to stop the vessel, the subjects evaded arrest and went to Mexico. During the pursuit, the officers noticed a large number of plastic-covered bundles in the center of the violator boat which they suspected to be drugs. When the officers back-tracked the pursuit route, they discovered one of the plastic bundles floating in the water. The bundle, which was later determined to be marijuana, was turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol and weighed 41 pounds. The investigation continues.
- Wardens received a call advising that a vehicle loaded with drugs had just left a border location and was traveling toward Laredo. U.S. Border Patrol initiated the vehicle stop and Game Wardens were backing them up. The suspect vehicle drove off the highway and crashed into some thick brush and the driver fled. The officers were unable to locate the suspect; however, the vehicle was seized along with 348 pounds of marijuana.
- Wardens observed a vessel enter into U.S. waters from Mexico. The wardens followed the vessel to a public boat ramp in Zapata and initiated a water safety inspection. While inspecting the vessel, the game wardens noticed an open compartment that contained what they believed to be a bundle of marijuana. Upon further inspection of the vessel, the wardens located a total of 11 bundles of marijuana which was later weighed and totaled 125 pounds. The case was turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
- While working at Falcon Lake, wardens observed a Mexico commercial fishing vessel enter into U.S. waters. When the vessel entered into Arroyo Tigre, game wardens stopped the vessel. The operator of the vessel beached his boat on the bank and he and his passenger fled into some thick brush. The officers searched the area but were unable to locate the two subjects. The officers seized the vessel along with 3,000 feet of gill net.
- Wardens observed a Mexico Commercial fishing vessel enter into U.S. waters around Zapata. The wardens initiated a stop of the vessel and two Mexico commercial fishermen were arrested for possession of illegal fishing devices (gill nets) and transported to the Zapata County Jail. The violators were fined $450 each and their boat, motor and nets (900 feet) were seized by the wardens pending forfeiture proceedings.
- Other general seizures made in November include 3,000 feet of unattended gill nets and one unattended hoop net.

There was disappointment for Britain's men and a bronze for Jess Varnish and Becky James on the opening day of the Track Cycling World Championships in Cali, Colombia.
Varnish and James claimed third in the women's team sprint to rescue a poor day for Britain, the dominant track nation for some time, after the men's team pursuit and team sprint squads failed to advance to their respective medal ride-offs.
Ed Clancy, Sam Harrison, Owain Doull and Jon Dibben finished a lowly eighth - Britain's worst result in at least 15 years - in the four-man, four-kilometre event.
And London 2012 champions Phil Hindes and Jason Kenny combined with Kian Emadi to place fifth in the three-man, three-lap team pursuit.
Kenny has twice won Olympic gold in the event, but never the world champion's rainbow jersey and Britain's wait for a men's team sprint world title will extend to 10 years at least.
Britain have not won the world title since 2005 - when Sir Chris Hoy, in Cali as a team mentor, was part of the squad - and for a third successive year they have now missed out on a medal.
Kenny, who will bid to defend his Keirin title on day two, tried to accentuate the positive after the 43.617 seconds ride.
"It is frustrating for me," the 25-year-old from Bolton said.
"I've got a lot of medals in this event over the years, not many of them gold. We've got the Olympic gold medals, which is the main ones.
"We've got the potential to dominate, or certainly to be competitive every time we go out and that's where I'd like to be really.
"We're disappointed with the result, but the time itself and the way we rode wasn't that bad.
"We've got a lot closer to the lead than we have been. The New Zealand guys were out in front by a little bit of a margin, but everyone else was quite tight.
"It's just unfortunate everyone is so tight and we just slipped out the second ride."
New Zealand qualified fastest and Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Ed Dawkins won the final in 42.840 ahead of Germany (42.885).
In the corresponding women's event, Varnish and James won the ride-off for bronze ahead of Russia, clocking 33.032.
"It was a solid performance tonight," Varnish said.
"It's a really different track to what we've ridden on and you can't really compare it to other performances. I think we should be happy.
"It's a really good start."
James won medals in all four of her events in Minsk in 2013, including two golds and bronze in the team sprint, and has started off in the same vein 12 months on.
James, who rides in the 500metres time-trial on day two, said: "I'll take everything a day at a time. Got today out the way and got a bronze medal. I'll see how each day goes and do my best."
Germany's Miriam Welte and Kristina Vogel, the Olympic champions and world record holders, won a third straight world title in 32.440, with China second.
The World Championships are taking place in Colombia at a track exposed to the elements, with a roof but without walls, but the forecast rain did not arrive and disrupt proceedings.
There were few excuses for Britain's team pursuit squad, including Clancy, but without another London 2012 gold medallist in Steven Burke due to illness.
The British quartet finished in 4:04.419 to place eighth, while defending champions Australia went on to win gold in 3:57.907, ahead of fastest qualifiers Denmark (3:59.632).
Clancy said: "We knew a week ago our back was against the wall. (But) despite the fact we didn't have a couple of our more established riders in the line-up, we were still hoping to get a ride in the final."
Dani King was eighth and Ireland's Caroline Ryan 14th in a scratch race won by Belgium's Kelly Druyts.
King is reserve on day two, when Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell, Katie Archibald and Elinor Barker bid for women's team pursuit gold in the highlight of day two's events.

PLANT CITY, Fla. — Unseasonably warm weather opened this year's Florida strawberry deal earlier than typical and produced smaller-sized fruit.
From November into mid-December, central Florida temperatures were about 10 degrees above typical, which isn't conducive to solid fruit production, said Ted Campbell, executive director of the Dover-based Florida Strawberry Growers Association.
Chris Smith, sales manager of BBI Produce Inc., in Dover, said early season fruit didn't begin in great shape, and growers harvested many misshapen and smaller-sized fruit.
In mid-December, however, he said quality and sizing were improving.
"We didn't have a great start early on but from this point going forward, it's better," Smith said. "The berries and the blooms that are on the plants now look outstanding. You can look at the stems and tell by the shape and bloom that the quality will be nice and will bring large fruit. We are off to a good start."
Jeremy Burris, vice president of sales and sourcing for Salinas, Calif.-based Colorful Harvest LLC's Florida division, said counts were running close to the normal 24s per 1-pound clamshell with some packing as many as 32s while Colorful Harvest prefers 16 counts.
"Our fruit looks good," Burris said in mid-December. "The quality is extremely nice. So far, demand exceeds supply."
Mark Greeff, vice president and general manager of the Eastern region for Watsonville, Calif.-based Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc., said the weather is pressing the fruit.
"It is a little bit of a challenge on the fruit when the nights are so warm, in the mid-60s," he said in mid-December. "But it should cool down, and we should be in really good shape to have a strong Florida season."
Greeff described quality as high and said he expects supplies to be high as well going into the new year.
Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer of Wish Farms, agreed sizing hasn't been that big, but he said the growing region finally experienced some cooler temperatures in mid-December. The more favorable weather was producing better sizings and conditions.
He expects early fruit volume to peak in early January.
"The berries look good and quality is coming along," Wishnatzki said in mid-December. "We will have a good increase around New Year's so that should be a good time for retailers to get some front-page promotions going."
In mid-December, Wishnatzki reported flats of eight 1-pound clamshells from Florida selling for $20-22.95 with contracted product fetching $18.95, up from the $18-20 the open-market flats garnered in early December.
In mid-December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported insufficient sales of Florida strawberries to establish a market. However, those same flats medium-large from California were selling for $20-22 as of Dec. 23, lower than the $22.90-26.90 those containers sold for in early December last season.
"With the exception of the marketplace wanting to be less (in price) quicker, the season's looking good," said Steve Machell, sales manager for Dover-based Gulf Coast Produce Inc. "The growing season has been good. Some of the early festival varieties were a little small right out of the chute, but I think they'll gain in size as the weather gets colder."
This season, growers planted 11,000 acres, similar to last season, Campbell said.
Campbell said the deal should produce 28 million flats, up from last year's 25 million flats.
The volume boost follows higher yields from increased plantings of the radiance variety.
