To review the symbolism of baptism and inspire in class members a commitment to keep their baptismal covenants.
Prayerfully study John 3:3–5; Romans 6:3–6; 2 Nephi 31; Mosiah 18:8–10; Doctrine and Covenants 20:37, 71, 77; 49:13–14.
Write the numbers 1 through 5 on separate strips of paper. Fold the strips of paper and place them in a bowl or other container (see the activity on page 71).
Materials needed:
The pictures Boy Being Baptized (62018); Burial of Jesus (62180; Gospel Art Picture Kit 231); The Resurrected Jesus Christ (picture 9 in the picture section of the manual; 62187; Gospel Art Picture Kit 239); and Alma Baptizes in the Waters of Mormon (picture 5 in the picture section of the manual; 62332; Gospel Art Picture Kit 309).
A set of scriptures and a scripture marking pencil for each class member. Continue to encourage class members to bring their own scriptures to class each week.
- a.
Note to the teacher
Baptism is one of the first steps we take to come to Christ. Understanding the symbolism of baptism helps us understand the eternal nature of the covenants and blessings that come because of baptism. Through continued obedience, we can overcome spiritual death and return to the presence of our Father in Heaven. Since this is made possible by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we take Jesus' name upon us when we are baptized and promise to remember him in all that we do.
As you teach this lesson, be sensitive to the feelings of class members who have not yet been baptized.
Suggested Lesson Development
The Purposes of Baptism
Show the picture of a boy being baptized.
- •
What do you remember about your baptism?
Allow class members to talk about their baptisms. You may want to share some memories of your own baptism.
Scripture discussion
- •
Why were you baptized?
Be sure the following purposes of baptism are discussed (you may want to have class members read and mark the accompanying scriptures):
To receive remission, or forgiveness, of sins (see D&C 49:13).
To show willingness to keep Heavenly Father's commandments (see 2 Nephi 31:14).
To become members of the Church (see D&C 20:71).
To begin on the path to eternal life (see 2 Nephi 31:17–20).
To be able to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (see D&C 49:14).
- •
Why did Jesus, who did not sin, need to be baptized?
Have class members read 2 Nephi 31:6–9, marking words and phrases that answer this question. Help class members see that like us, Jesus needed to be baptized to show obedience to Heavenly Father. Jesus also was baptized to set an example for us.
Baptism Brings a Spiritual Rebirth
Scripture discussion
Explain that the Apostle Paul talked about baptism as a symbol. A symbol is an object or action that represents something else. Have class members read and mark Romans 6:3.
Show the picture of the burial of Jesus.
- •
What do you think it means to be "baptized into [Christ's] death"? (See Romans 6:3.)
Explain that the word baptism means "to immerse" (see Bible Dictionary, "Baptism," 618). The act of immersion—being momentarily buried under water—represents the death and burial of a person's sinfulness. The Atonement of Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to repent of our sins and be forgiven.
Have class members read and mark Romans 6:4–5.
Show the picture of the resurrected Jesus Christ.
- •
How is baptism "in the likeness of [Christ's] resurrection"?
Explain that the act of coming out from under the water represents a birth into a new life, just as the resurrected Jesus Christ rose from the tomb.
Explain that in a conversation with a man named Nicodemus, Jesus talked about this aspect of baptism. Have class members read and mark John 3:3–5.
- •
How does a person become born of water? (By being baptized.)
- •
How does a person become born of the Spirit? (By receiving the Holy Ghost after baptism. Tell class members that you will discuss the gift of the Holy Ghost in next week's lesson.)
Read the following testimony related by a convert as he bore his testimony in a Church meeting:
"I came from a broken home. We had no religion, and I was not taught any particular moral values. My life was meaningless, empty, and full of conflict. I committed many sins. Then the gospel came into my life. I accepted the Savior wholeheartedly. I began to believe in Him and to turn away from my former ways. I was baptized, and I received the marvelous gift of the Holy Ghost. Brothers and Sisters, for years and years I felt as if I were 'dead' inside, and now for the first time in life, I feel 'alive'" (in My Errand from the Lord [Melchizedek Priesthood study guide, 1976], 161).
We Made Covenants at Baptism
Scripture discussion
Explain that section 20 of the Doctrine and Covenants contains a revelation given to Joseph Smith on the day that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized. Joseph Smith was given instructions for the people who wanted to be baptized as members of the Church. Have class members read and mark Doctrine and Covenants 20:37. Explain that this verse contains the baptismal covenant. A covenant is an agreement between us and the Lord in which we promise to obey his commandments and he promises to bless us according to our obedience.
- •
What do people have to covenant to do in order to be baptized? (List the following requirements on the chalkboard as they are mentioned.)
Humble themselves before God.
Repent of their sins.
Be willing to take upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ.
Be willing to serve the Lord.
Show by their works that they have received the Spirit of Christ.
Scripture discussion
- •
What does it mean to take upon ourselves the name of Christ?
Point out that we take upon ourselves Jesus' name when we follow his example. Explain that to learn about how we can do this, you are going to discuss some teachings of Alma, a prophet in the Book of Mormon.
Display the picture of Alma baptizing in the waters of Mormon. Explain that Alma was converted through the teachings of Abinadi and then taught the gospel to others. To help the people prepare to be baptized, he reviewed things they would be expected to do as members of the Church.
Have class members read and mark Mosiah 18:8–10. Write on the chalkboard "Come into the fold of God, and … be called his people."
- •
What things must we be willing to do to be able to "come into the fold of God, and … be called his people"?
Write the following on the chalkboard as the items are mentioned:
"Bear one another's burdens."
"Mourn with those that mourn."
"Comfort those that stand in need of comfort."
"Stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places."
- •
In what ways can we bear one another's burdens? How have you seen people do this? How have other people helped bear your burdens?
- •
Why is it sometimes helpful to "mourn with those that mourn"? What are some things we can do to comfort those who need comfort? How have other people helped you during difficult times?
- •
What does it mean to stand as a witness of God?
Ask a class member to choose one of the strips of paper you have prepared and read the number written on it. Then read the corresponding situation below and ask class members to describe how they could stand as witnesses of God in that situation. Repeat the activity until every situation has been discussed.
Situation 1
You are playing basketball with a group of friends. One of your friends misses an easy shot and in frustration takes the Lord's name in vain.
Situation 2
A friend who is not a member of the Church comes to your home and notices a copy of the Book of Mormon on a table.
Situation 3
You are at an activity for the young men and young women in your ward. A new bishop has just been called, and several people your age are talking about him. "I can't believe they called him," one of them says.
Situation 4
You are at home by yourself. You know that your parents will not be home for a few hours. There is a movie on television that you have wanted to see. You know that it has a few offensive scenes and some profanity, but many of your friends have told you that it is an exciting movie.
Situation 5
You have been planning for months to go to the temple with the young men and young women in your ward to perform baptisms for the dead. A friend who is not a member of the Church invites you to a party that same evening. You say that you can't go to the party, and your friend asks what you will be doing that evening.
Scripture discussion
- •
How do the four promises in Mosiah 18:8–10 relate to our promise to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ?
- •
Why do you think we have been talking about baptism even though most (or all) of us have already been baptized?
Have a class member read Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, which contains the prayer on the sacramental bread. Point out the similarities between this prayer and the baptismal covenant in Doctrine and Covenants 20:37. Explain that the baptismal covenant is so important that we renew it each week when we take the sacrament. Baptism is more than just being immersed in the water. The covenants we make and the blessings we can receive are eternal.
Bear testimony of the joy we experience when we keep our baptismal covenants. Encourage class members to remember their baptismal covenants and be true to them.
Enrichment Activities
You may want to use one or more of these activities during the lesson.
Give each class member a copy of the handout "Break the Code," on the next page. (Be sure to erase the chalkboard before starting this activity.)
Have class members try to break the code of the messages on the handout. Allow two or three minutes. If no one has broken the code by then, tell class members that each letter in the code represents the letter that comes just before it in the alphabet. Give them a few more minutes to decode the messages on the handout. The correct messages are listed below:
Message 1: Bear One Another's Burdens
Message 2: Mourn with Those That Mourn
Message 3: Comfort Those That Stand in Need
Message 4: Stand as Witnesses of God
Bring to class two objects that are somewhat heavy but that any member of the class could hold with one hand. Ask for two volunteers to come to the front of the class. Give each of them one of the objects. Have them hold the objects in front of them by placing their right hand under the objects. As they do this, explain that in this activity the objects represent burdens, or personal difficulties that may come to us. Their right hand represents a person trying to bear burdens alone.
What are some burdens we sometimes carry? How do those burdens weigh us down?
The objects will start to feel heavy. Have the volunteers face each other, and invite each volunteer to place his or her left hand securely under the object the other person is holding without letting go of his or her own object. After the volunteers have felt the weight lifted from their right arms, have them give the objects back to you and return to their seats. Ask the following questions:
How did this exercise show what it is like to bear one another's burdens?
Point out that although the burdens were not taken away, they were made lighter when the two class members worked together. In the same way, we can sometimes help others bear their burdens even when we have burdens ourselves. As we help each other, our own burdens will be made lighter.
- •
With class members, sing or read the words to
"When I Am Baptized" (Children's Songbook, 103).
If Family Home Evening Video Supplement (53276) is available, you may want to show "Baptism—A Promise to Follow Jesus," a nine-minute segment. Although the presentation is suited more for Primary children, the principle taught is true and important for all members of the Church.

PECOTA Cards: The Final Frontier
The PECOTA cards are finally here!
Thanks again to our beta testers for looking them over, and to everyone for your patience. I'm sorry they took as long as they did, but the upside of the big changes we had to make is that we're all cued up to do all sorts of neat things with these throughout the 2010 season, and I'm going to go out on a limb (which I probably shoudn't be doing at 1:30am) and guarantee that 2011 will be our earliest year ever.

One thing I'd like to see going forward is a spreadsheet of each player's 10% forecasts. I don't need PECOTA to tell me that Derek Jeter will likely be very good, but I like drafting sure things in the early rounds and I want an easy way to see worst-case scenarios.
Mar 23, 2010 06:15 AM
Glad to see they're out.
Mar 23, 2010 06:19 AM
I think he's actually projected to pitch 101IP split between spot starting and as a long man, but the splits showed his full line, while the total only showed his IP as a starter - a small bug, but one that should be figured out
Mar 23, 2010 06:33 AM
Wow - I just realized that all of the charts with multiple rows of data are sortable! Clicking on any column header will sort the data in ascending/descending order. It's not yet clear how this is beneficial - for example, sorting the comparable players by year rather than by rank doesn't seem very useful - but it sure is darn cool.
Mar 23, 2010 07:28 AM
We want sortable stats all over our cards, but we didn't make a bigger announcement of this because like you, I'm not sure if they have any value at all in the PECOTA tables. Nevertheless, they're there, and if anyone comes up with a good use for them, please let us know!

Yeah, these dynamic tables are something we're looking to make more use of in various places on the site. I'd agree that for purposes of PECOTA, most people are probably content to not meddle with the default chronological sort, but, well... it's there if you need it I guess.
Mar 23, 2010 14:41 PM
Very cool. I especially love the "out of baseball" frowny face in the ten year forecast. Man, that cracks me up for some reason. I like.
Mar 23, 2010 07:40 AM
Long term projections: 1) Have been fixed? I am still not seeing the power numbers I would expect from the Uptons or Adam Jones. 2) How reliable are they once you get like 2, 3... 8 years out? Has there are ever been are article or study done? Are these mainly for fun?
Mar 23, 2010 08:14 AM
The main purpose of 4+ year projections is to give you ballpark ideas of career path for contract evaluation and rough percentages of how likely it is that someone, say, develops their pitch selection further to be able to maintain a useful OBP when their bat begins to slow.
Mar 23, 2010 09:00 AM
Check the plots on the players. Albert Pujols projected TAv:
Mar 23, 2010 08:37 AM
First, I really like the new layout and how historical stats are included. The cards are now pretty sleek.
Mar 23, 2010 09:21 AM
Is the beta of each projection gone forever?
Mar 23, 2010 10:01 AM
Mar 23, 2010 12:15 PM
I don't believe he's talking about the beta cards, but rather the Beta statistic that existed for years, which was an evaluation of how reliable PECOTA thought its own projection was.
Mar 23, 2010 13:29 PM
Hi Dave,
Mar 23, 2010 12:11 PM
John Collins
I noticed that for quite a few players, the list of comparables is partly superimposed over the comments from past issues of the book -- makes it hard to read. Wow, though, lotsa good stuff here.
Mar 23, 2010 13:22 PM
hi there, which browser and os are you using? can you send us a screencap at email@example.com? sorry for the inconvenience.
Mar 23, 2010 13:39 PM
I had this problem too, I think on Ryan Theriot. I'm on IE7 from work right now.
Mar 23, 2010 15:51 PM
From a very interesting Strasburg debate over at "The Book:"
Mar 23, 2010 13:29 PM
Sounds kind of like the Wieters situation from last year, though Wieters had a bit more data...
Mar 23, 2010 15:52 PM
That's not actually how comparables work at all, but I guess it's cool you've decided you know how the system works.
Mar 23, 2010 16:58 PM
ugh. It was a quote from a blog between other stat-head projection-makers at "The Book." Why is everyone's default reaction one of derision? Guess what, even if I didn't know how the system works (many, in fact, don't understand it), this would be an opportunity to explain it, not ridicule the lack of understanding. So many geniuses around here, apparently....
Mar 24, 2010 05:47 AM
Oh, and you can feel free to educate them here:
Mar 24, 2010 05:52 AM
Dave - Are you guys going to offer further commentary on the most "interesting" PECOTA projections? The ones that you least agree with? The ones that others might disagree with but you think are on track?
Mar 23, 2010 17:27 PM
There may be something amiss with Aardsma's card. The 90% calls for 105 innings pitched, and his 10% calls for 57! Not sure if PECOTA is "allowed" to stretch a player that far out, given his role. Not sure he should be envisioned in a Hughes/Gio/Tejeda role.
Mar 23, 2010 18:07 PM
I was wondering, is there a specific page to report missing Pecota Player Cards? Dustin Ackley was in the Baseball Prospectus book, but I don't see a card for him. Thanks, I am greatly enjoying looking through the new pitcher cards!!
Mar 23, 2010 20:03 PM
There seems to be something very off about the GB%, the chart, and how GB% is projected over the next several years. Look no further than the O's Britton, Bergesen, and Arrieta for examples,
Mar 24, 2010 00:15 AM
Looks like Britton is on track for a Cy Young season in 2025 at age 37 according to PECOTA, aided by his .100 BABIP. By the time he is 42 or 43, he should go a whole season without allowing a hit. What's the problem ?
Mar 24, 2010 09:26 AM
I think you're reading it wrong. The ten-year Forecast, with the big changes in 2015 assume he is still in the majors, which, by that time, would require him hitting his 80th percentile forecast (or thereabouts). If you scroll down do the Ten Year Performance graph, with the little box chat next to it, you can see that PECOTA is actually saying that Aumont's 50th percentile has him out of the game by that time.
Mar 24, 2010 09:40 AM
Actually no. I understand what you are saying, but to me it doesn't make sense, and Aumont is an example why.
Mar 24, 2010 10:03 AM
tb, what PECOTA is essentially saying is that there's a 2/3 chance that Aumont has a mediocre, Derek Lowe style groundball career in which he's almost surely a marginal 5th starter for the next 3-5 years before he washes out, and a 1/3 chance that he develops his breaking stuff enough that he is capable of missing bats and his profile as a pitcher is quite a bit different; this line of comparables constitutes his 75th+ percentile forecasts for the next few years and is the only one in which he remains in baseball past 2015.
Mar 24, 2010 10:22 AM
Well, it's being presented in just the way you are telling me not to interpret it, that's how it doesn't make sense.
Mar 24, 2010 11:03 AM
Baseball players don't change overnight, tb.
Mar 24, 2010 12:46 PM
We can't all be as smart as you though. If BP can only sell to those smart enough to understand it(like you) it's not going to be much of a business. Perhaps they could broaden their appeal to the cognitively challenged, like myself, by publishing projections that actually made sense, and didn't include historically unprecedented discontinuities in player performance. Of course if they did, there wouldn't be any need for your pontifications, but such is the cost of progress I suppose.
Mar 24, 2010 13:08 PM
Honestly its not a question of intelligence at all; its more a question of retention (when each article about pecota changes came out over the years, I read it a few times so I retain it pretty well).
Mar 24, 2010 13:21 PM
I think this all goes back to the comparable players only being done once, assuming that is true, and could someone from BP please confirm or deny this ?
Mar 24, 2010 13:43 PM
Comps are done once, that is true.
Mar 24, 2010 15:14 PM
Didn't one of the beta releases comment that the comps were going back to being done once instead of every year of the 10 year and that that had improved accuracy?
Mar 24, 2010 15:18 PM
We initially did do comps for every year. People didn't like the long-term output, and it took a lot longer to generate.
Mar 24, 2010 15:35 PM
I can imagine that doing comps would cost a lot in terms of processing time, and I can also imagine some weird feedback effects developing, which I think you are alluding to.
Mar 24, 2010 16:16 PM
The drop rate accounts for comps leaving baseball. We could roll those into the projections as below-replacement-level, but considering the drop rate and the future projection in concert is almost certain to be more useful and interesting to the average person.
Mar 24, 2010 16:51 PM
I think you are overlooking a simple fact:
Mar 24, 2010 17:00 PM
Can someone explain the Upside line to me. There is a bold faced "peak" at the bottom which what exactly? On some cards it's the first six years added up, e.g. Alex Gordon, but on others it's not.

ATLANTA — Edinburg, Texas-based J&D Produce's Honey Sweet onion program is now year-round.
The company ships its proprietary variety from Texas, New Mexico, Peru and Mexico, said president Jimmy Bassetti, speaking on the show floor at the Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit 2011.
"This is a signature item for J&D," he said. "We're chasing the sun to get it year-round."
Bassetti said it was important for the company to get the program year-round to maintain a consistent supply for retailers who prefer the mild variety of onion.
J&D Produce also is working with M & T Farms Inc., Lyons, Ga., to provide a Little Bear brand Vidalia onion.
Bassetti said this coming spring will be the first season for J&D Produce to market onions from Vidalia.
The company also is boosting its food safety programs by hiring more staff and conducting more audits, and has Global Food Safety Initiative certification for its facilities and fields.

Alumni Success Story
On the Fast Track to Career in TV Thanks to SOC Course
With the U.S. job market lagging, many new graduates have had a hard time finding a job out of college. This wasn't a problem for 2012 graduate David Mullins. Right out of college, Mullins was offered an internship by NBC4, NBC's local Washington, DC affiliate.
A former School of Communication major, Mullins credits his job to his Intro to Studio Television class with Professor Sarah Menke-Fish. "Intro to Studio Television was one of the most practical classes I took at AU", says Mullins. Through Menke-Fish's class, students create short 'webisodes' for NBC4 at least once a week, and are given total control of the projects, allowing students to work as Director, Technical Director, Camera Operator, and even Host. Mullins says the class really prepared him for the professional world. He was able to walk onto the job already understanding all the jargon and the workflow. Mullins believes that the class put him way ahead of the learning curve and prepared him for his career.
While Mullins attributes his preparedness to Intro to Studio Television, he credits SOC's Discover the World of Communication program for introducing him to Menke-Fish, SOC and American University - all key to his success. The DWC summer program is for high school students, and features intensive courses taught by AU faculty and communication professionals in a variety of disciplines.
DWC helps students learn to blend friendship with teamwork, a crucial skill that's sometimes hard to find on the job. DWC class topics range from public speaking to animation to nature photography. "I was awed by the wide range of skills it provided me in just two short weeks. Obviously, this program helped confirm my choice of AU for undergrad," says Mullins. Mullins believes that AU gave him the foundation he needed to build skills for his career through opportunities that only AU can provide.
Students interested in Communication or the Discover the World of Communications program, should visit the SOC Discover the World of Communications web page for application materials and more information.

Major League Lacrosse today announced the 38 players selected to participate in the 2013 MLL All-Star Game, presented by Moe's Southwest Grill, on July 13 at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The Hounds will have four players representing the host city, including attack Ryan Young, midfielder Peet Poillon and defensemen Ryan Flanagan and Brett Schmidt. Participants are selected through a balloting process by the coaches and general managers from each of the league's eight teams.
Young and Schmidt, both third-year players out of Maryland, will be making their MLL All-Star Game debuts. "I feel very honored to be selected by the GMs and coaches," said Young. "Charlotte fans are very passionate and I'm excited to be able to play in front of them another time at American Legion Memorial field." Young in seven games this season has amassed 24 points (19 goals, 5 assists), which ranks him eighth overall in the MLL. The attackman has tallied multiple points in each game this season, including a personal best eight points (7g, 1a) Week 3 versus the Rattlers.
Schmidt, meanwhile, has been an anchor on the other end of the field, leading the Hounds defense with 26 groundballs over eight games. The long pole also has put up two points, with a goal in Week 4 and an assist in Week 2. "It's an honor to be picked and even associated with all of the other great players that were chosen to be a part of the MLL All-Star Game," said Schmidt. "Being able to play in front of the home crowd in Charlotte will be awesome. They have been such great supporters of the Hounds since our inception last year, and we are excited to be able to bring them a fun weekend of great lacrosse."
This year marks the fourth-straight All-Star selection for Poillon, who has participated in the event each year since 2010. The midfielder is on pace to have his best season yet, already tallying 22 points on 16 goals (including three 2-pointers) and three assists. Poillon's highest-scoring game this season came in Week 2, when he put up five goals, including two 2-pointers, against the Rattlers.
Flanagan in his second full MLL season also will be making his second MLL All-Star appearance, having been named to the Young Guns All-Star roster in 2012. "Lacrosse is such a small community that a lot of us have known each other for a few years," said Flanagan. "It is a lot of fun to catch up with everyone and play with some of the best players ever. Covering
Casey Powell in my first All-Star Game is something I will remember for the rest of my life." Flanagan this year has recorded 16 groundballs in six games, and in Week 6 held reigning MLL Offensive Player of the Year
Paul Rabil pointless for the first time since the 2010 semifinals.
In addition to playing in the All-Star game, Flanagan will
host the MLL All-Star Youth Tournament in conjunction with Team 24/7 Lacrosse, the Charlotte-based youth lacrosse program he founded in 2010. Youth teams from around the country will have an opportunity to compete in a jamboree style tournament taking place the Saturday and Sunday of All-Star weekend. "This year will be very special to me because the game is being played right here in Charlotte," he said. "I have loved living in this city and really look forward to having the best players in the world here. It is going to be a great experience for the fans and the community."
Hounds leading scorer
Matt Danowski -- 25 points on 18 goals (three 2-pointers) and four assists in six games -- was an obvious All-Star pick for this year, but has a personal commitment that weekend and would be unavailable to play in the game. The attackman has participated in four All-Star Games over the course of his MLL career.
The 2013 MLL All-Star Game will revisit the 2011 format in which two ultimate fans will get to play general manager and pick their fantasy All-Star teams on Friday night of All-Star weekend. The winners -- 17-year-old
Cameron MacKenzie, from St. Charles, Ill., and 15-year-old
Frank Ranfone, from Guilford, Conn. -- will serve as honorary captains and will be taking part in all team activities during the course of the weekend.
Several All Stars, to be announced at a later date, also will participate in the Half-Time Skills Competition, which will include Fastest Shot, Accuracy and Freestyle contests. The All Stars will be wearing specially designed jerseys that will be auctioned off following the game to benefit
JDRF, the 2013 All-Star Game's charity.
Tickets for the 2013 MLL All-Star Game are on sale now through Ticketmaster and the Charlotte Hounds. To purchase tickets please call the Hounds at (704) 206-1515 or visit

Escobar's status likely to be determined Friday
CHICAGO -- Yunel Escobar, who sat out the Rays' game Thursday night against the White Sox with tightness in his right hamstring, is listed as day to day, but manager Joe Maddon said it won't be known until Friday how long the shortstop actually will be sidelined.
"I don't anticipate him being able to play [Friday]," Maddon said. "I anticipate knowing where we are at with him [Friday]. "We'll see how this will play out. I don't anticipate anything awful, but the guy does go pretty hard every day."
Escobar, who is batting just .164, was injured running the bases in the Rays' 3-0 win over the Yankees on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field. He said he felt a "little pull," so he was removed from the game.
Ben Zobrist will fill in at shortstop until Escobar returns.
"Zo did a great job at the end of last year and [Wednesday] when it occurred didn't bat an eye," Maddon said. "[He] looked at the book a little bit, wanted to see where to play the next group of hitters, and everything was fine."
Maddon could have moved Sean Rodriguez back to shortstop but decided to keep him at first base.
"At the end of last season, we all thought Ben did a really good job and we wanted to stay with that," Maddon said. "Sean has been doing a nice job in the other role we have for him, so I don't want to mess things up right now."

Topic: Hobbies to keep mind off nausea?
Hi I'm currently on xeloda. So up until about a month ago I have been doing ok. Normal side effects acid reflux hands foo, fatigue. Everything was manageable. My scans were good so they gave me a break. That's when everything went downhill. I've been sick in bed all day only recently forcing myself to eat the min I can. Got back up to 96 lbs. my last scans grew because of the break. I just finished an anti biotic. I'm on nabilone,dexamethasone,lorazepam for fear of nausea and anxiety, gravol sometimes works and ondansetron. Plus I'm back on chemo mon I hope it helps again. Plus I take a patch on my arm for pain. And zopiclone for sleep which doesn't really work in spite of all these pills I'm only now starting to be able to force food down. I just get so depressed and want to be in bed all the time with my heating pad. Sometimes I just lay crying for hrs. Only today n yesterday I was able for a couple hours to do yoga n jewelry making. What other hobbies do you guys have to keep your mind off stuff.
Knitting is a little hard it comes loose sometimes! And feeling like this makes it hard to concentrate properly. I have Netflix but Canadian Netflix sucks! And only so many movies you can watch. I used to read before the migraines. I feel like I'm going crazy.
I miss school and my friends. Sometimes they just don't understand and when I cry I feel like m bothering them with my problems. I don't know who to talk to no one understands. Just been so scared.

A new trailer for Camelot has been released. Premiering on Starz on April 1st at 10pm ET/PT, the 10-episode drama offers an epic retelling of the classic medieval tale of King Arthur and features an ensemble cast including Joseph Fiennes reimagining the role of Merlin, Jamie Campbell Bower as the young and reckless Arthur, and Eva Green in her television debut as the darkly powerful Morgan. The character-driven series also features Tamsin Egerton (Guinevere), Claire Forlani (Igraine) and Peter Mooney (Kay).
In the wake of King Uthers sudden death, chaos threatens to engulf Britain. When the sorcerer Merlin has visions of a dark future, he installs the young and impetuous Arthur, Uthers unknown son and heir, who has been raised from birth as a commoner. But Arthurs cold and ambitious half sister Morgan will fight him to the bitter end, summoning unnatural forces to claim the crown in this epic battle for control. These are dark times indeed for the new king, with Guinevere being the only shining light in Arthurs harsh world. Faced with profound moral decisions, and the challenge of uniting a kingdom broken by war and steeped in deception, Arthur will be tested beyond imagination. Forget everything you think you know this is the story of Camelot that has never been told before.

Winning state aid funds to cover Friday's payroll at the last minute over the weekend was only one hurdle for the deficit-ridden Pontiac school district.
However, the crisis isn't over. District officials are still on edge, waiting to see if Pontiac schools will be next in the state for an emergency manager or bankruptcy.
"It is one day at a time," said Pontiac Board of Education President Carol Turpin Mondaymorning after receiving official notice that the state has approved the district's deficit elimination plan -- including an additional year to balance the budget.
FYI: A public session on what impact the new emergency finance manager law could have on the Pontiac school district is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Thursday, May 16 at the Odell Nails Administration Building in the city/school complex on Auburn Avenue and Woodward Ave. northbound.
Even though the plan was approved, releasing the March state aid payment to cover the payroll, that did not stop the preliminary review of the district's finances underway now -- the first step in what could lead to an emergency financial manager.
The preliminary review ordered by state school Superintendent Michael Flanagan, who cited the district's situation as "critical and alarming," began April 24.
"We will know within five days whether the state will go to the next step," Turpin said Monday.
That's when the Michigan Department of Education will advise Pontiac schools whether the state is satisfied the district is on the right track to financial solvency or whether Flanagan will recommend Gov. Rick Snyder send in an official review team -- the second step to what could lead to the appointment of an emergency manager or bankruptcy.
In preparation for what may come, Turpin has scheduled a public study session on the new emergency manager law and what impact it can have on the district, including what the board can do should the state find the district in an emergency situation.
Deficit elimination plan
In the plan submitted by Pontiac school officials, the board has committed to reducing the deficit by close to $30 million by June 2015. This means the budget would drop from $85.9 million at the end of 2012 to $56.8 million by the end of the 2014-15 school year.
To accomplish this, the district will have to reduce expenditures and/or create revenue to bring the deficit down from $37.7 million, as of June 30, 2012, to $29.9 million by the end of this June; to $15.8 million by June 30, 2014; and to a balanced budget with more than $800,000 in an emergency fund by June 30, 2015.
However, in his letter accepting the district's plan, state Superintendent Michael Flanagan cautioned outgoing Superintendent Brian Dougherty and Turpin that if parts of the plan that would bring more revenue -- such as winning an insurance settlement or selling vacant school buildings -- do not pan out, the district must make even more cuts to ensure the plan is followed.
Also, Flanagan earlier noted that the board had approved contracts for two administrative positions that were not part of the original plan the district submitted to the state.
So now, "The revised plan calls for additional cuts to make up for the two administrative positions that were not eliminated," according to the MDE in answer to a query by the Press.
Some highlights outlined by Flanagan in his letter to notify the district of the acceptance of the deficit elimination plan include: "The plan developed by the district is largely dependent on staff reductions; this plan also assumes proceeds of $6 million from an insurance settlement; the plan also includes $1 million from the potential sale of buildings; and finally, this plan assumes that financial incentives given to (all Michigan) districts meeting certain criteria in 2012-13 will continue in subsequent years."
If any or all of these things do not come to fruition, the district is required to come up with other reductions to reach the same goals.
Emergency manager?
Turpin said in order to be proactive and prepared for whatever may come, she has asked the Michigan Association of School Boards to give a presentation on the new emergency manager law and how it could impact the district at the public meeting at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, May 16 .
The MASB presentation will include what it would mean if an emergency manager were appointed to the district, what steps lead up to that event, and what the district's options might be.
�School districts in Detroit, Highland Park and Muskegon Heights have emergency managers, and the latter two districts' operations have been outsourced to third-party charter school companies.
One of the major issues that caused Flanagan to be alarmed -- besides the fact that the deficit mushroomed from $8.7 million in 2009 to $37.7 million by the end of June 2012 -- is that $7.8 million in unpaid teacher health premiums is scheduled under court order to go on summer tax bills. Those affected are all property owners in the portions of eight communities that make up the Pontiac district.
The deficit elimination plan does not include the repayment of the $7.8 million.
Dougherty, whose resignation is effective May 17, but who has already had his exit interview, had been hoping the district would win approval from the state Treasury for a tax anticipation loan to cover the cost avoid the tax levy once the deficit plan was approved.

SI on DAT: 'He's not a running back or a receiver. He's a bullet'
EUGENE, Ore. - Duck fans know De'Anthony Thomas is a rising star in college football.
Now sports fans across the nation do, too.
"You watch the NFL, you watch college, there's no one like him," Oregon left tackle Kyle Long told Sports Illustrated. "He's the next generation of position. He's not a running back or a receiver. He's a bullet."
A smiling Thomas stands tall above the headline "The Fastest Man in Football" on the cover of the new issue of Sports Illustrated, on newstands now.
The story chronicles how Thomas got a boost as a youth football player when rapper Snoop Dogg saw him run an opening kickoff back from 6 yards deep in the endzone for a touchdown.
As the story goes, Snoop Dogg rushed to the press box, grabbed the mircrophone and yelled, "The Black Mamba!"
A nickname was born - although on Chip Kelly's squad, the "Quack Mamba" has become a new kind of threat: "a touchdown waiting to happen," Sports Illustrated says.
Thomas is the sixth Oregon football player to make the cover following LaMichael James (Nov. 15, 2010), Jeremiah Masoli and Jordan Holmes (Aug. 18, 2009), Jason Fife (Sept. 29, 2003) and Joey Harrington (Aug. 13, 2001).

4th grader Allie is excited when she finds out there is a new girl in her class. The new girl's name is Cheyenne and she's from Canada – which makes her sound kind of exotic and interesting. She's interesting all right. And bossy. And mean. Cheyenne immediately collects a group of friends – her clique – and labels anyone she hasn't chosen "immature". Then she starts a kissing game at recess and begins insisting that the boys and girls pair up and start "going with" each other. Allie wants to know…what does "going with" even mean? Dealing with Cheyenne, and having the courage to stand up to her, helps Allie add another rule to her list of school survival tips: "Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good." Anybody who has ever had to deal with a controlling, bossy mean girl will cheer outloud for Allie and her friends.

NEW ORLEANS, LA-- Today, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray entered into a friendly wager on Saturday's NFL playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks. The bet promises a package of hometown products to the city with the winning football team.
"The Who Dat nation is fired up for Saturday's playoff game between our Saints and the Seahawks," said Mayor Landrieu. "We've got a strong team that mirrors our city's strong culture, including our famous King Cake and cuisine. But this time around, we don't plan on sending any of our goods Seattle's way because the Saints are sure to come out of this game on top."
Each Mayor's wager includes an assortment of items for which are unique to the city they lead.
Mayor Landrieu's wager includes King Cake from Sucre, a premiere artisanal New Orleans confectioner. In addition, New Orleans' own Chef and restaurateur Greg Reggio, will host a crawfish boil to the tunes of one of the city's famous brass bands.
Mayor Murray's wager includes doughnuts from Top Pot Doughnuts, Seattle's renowned doughnut bakery.
Both mayors look forward to joining their residents in cheering on their local football teams.

"I am going to look for beads at the dollar stores and thrift stores. This will take a lot of beads to make a garland. I think I will use mine on my mantle instead of on my tree. I do have a lot of plastic pony beads already so I might start with those. The colors would look cute by some tiny white Christmas trees."
"What an adorable basket and great way to use up scraps of yarn. I did not even think of a yarn bowl but it would be perfect. I have to do that since I always have my yarn rolling all over the floor. Easy pattern to follow and you can customize it as well. Thank you."
"Wow! All I need to buy is the coconut oil and I am all set. I have plenty of green tea in my pantry. I drink it all the time. I am super sensitive and like to make my own scrubs. This will be perfect. And smell nice as well. Thank you."
"I have a lot of skin sensitivities so I am always looking for something homemade. No reactions there and it works great. This recipe will be do the trick plus smell great. I live in NYC and you need a scrub to take off the impurities of the air. Thank you,"

Make paper beads from recycled paper bags and use them to make pretty bracelets. Learn how to make friendship bracelets while making paper beads with this craft tutorial!
- Paper bag (one will make a ton of beads)
- Acrylic paint in desired colors. I used a russet metallic
- Small paintbrush
- Decoupage glue, Gloss Modpodge is a good one
- Ruler, pencil, scissors,
- Waxed paper
- Bamboo skewer
- .7 mm Stretch beading cord
- Cover your work surface with a piece of waxed paper.
- Cut a piece of brown paper bag 6 ½" by 14".
- Brush acrylic paint of choice onto the surface of one side of the paper. Let dry. Brush a coat of decoupage glue on top of the painted surface.
- Lay the paper out lengthwise and working vertically on the unpainted side, measure 1/4" with your ruler. Draw a line that gradually tapers to a point. Working in the opposite side and direction, repeat this step, also tapering. Continue across alternating so that you have as many tapered strips as needed.
- Cut the strips out. Each strip makes one bead.
- Lay a strip on the waxed paper and with a small paintbrush, apply some decoupage glue onto the unpainted side of the strip. Do not apply glue to the last 1/8 inch of the wider end of the strip.
- Starting with the wider end place on the skewer and hold tight with finger, start to roll. Continue rolling making sure to stay centered. Finish with the pointed end. Immediately remove from skewer and add a tad of glue with a toothpick if the pointed end is not completely adhered.
- When you have enough beads for your needs, measure a piece of 7mm beading cord around wrist leaving enough extra to tie into a knot. String the beads onto the cord and knot it. Weave the ends into the beads on each side.

Love the look of this bracelet, it al,ist looks like copper! The suggestion to dip them all at once it a good alternative method too. For extra embellishment you could glue a tiny gem in the middle of the bead, either all or every other one, which would add some sparkle! Super design and instructions!

Love this, but if you string them on a fishing line you can dip them in the paint after rolling them instead of painting before rolling. Just dip the string and hang it above the paint container until it stops dripping. I used to dip about a half dozen of them at a time.

I have used wallpaper samples for making this type of bead and depending on the pattern, you may not even have to paint the beads. There are many glittery styles to choose from, if you can obtain old sample books.

Paper beads have been around since I was in junior high. And that was in the late 60's! You don't really need to go through all the fuss with paint, etc. I used colorful magazine pages, ran a line of elmer's glue down the length, let dry and string them up. They used them for beaded doorway partitions, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. Paper beads are a holdover from the hippie era. ;-)

Many years ago, we made bracelets and necklaces out of newspaper pages and the Sunday colored comic page, in much the same way. It was a wonderful project to do with children. We, however, strung the beads on elastic cording. It was particularly great for bracelets as it allowed you to slip them on easily. A Connecticut senior

Saint Louis University is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy research environment, where exposure to biological, chemical, and physical health hazards is kept to minimum levels. In an effort to mitigate risk and ensure compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, the University has established the Occupational Health Program for Laboratory and Animal Research (OHP). The principal objective of the OHP is to prevent occupational injury and illness.
The Vice President for Research has approved the University Occupational Health Program for Laboratory and Animal Research Policy (RC-006) to ensure that all persons at the University who are potentially exposed to some level of risk because of their work in or near a research laboratory and/or animal facility have access to the OHP.
University Policy RC-006 applies to all persons working at the University including staff, faculty, students, independent contractors, collaborators, and other non-university personnel who work in or near a research laboratory and/or animal facility. All individuals working in or having access to Saint Louis University research laboratories or animal research facilities must participate in the OHP. Participation in the OHP is also required under the Select Agent Rule (42 CFR 73) and under the NIH Guidelines for Recombinant DNA by individuals working with Risk Group 3 recombinant materials.
For persons who meet the above criteria, the extent and level of participation in the OHP is based on a risk assessment of the hazards posed by their assigned duties and the applicable setting including: animals and hazardous materials used; exposure intensity, duration, and frequency; susceptibility of personnel; and history of occupational illness and injury in the workplace.
Enrollment information is provided here. Individuals working within SLU animal facilities who are involved in the direct care of vertebrate animals and their living quarters; those individuals who have direct contact with animals (live or dead), their viable tissues, body fluids, or wastes should also refer to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee web pages.

"PROCYON formulas have remained unchanged over the past 30 years, along with our strong commitment to human health and a clean environment," said Plus Manufacturing's founder Ivan Day.
According to Green Seal's president, Arthur Wiseman, "Products meeting the criteria of GS-37 are among the greenest cleaning products available on the market. We commend Plus Manufacturing for its commitment to the GS-37 leadership standard to protect human health and the environment."
According to Green Seal: "The requirements in the GS-37 standard are based on an assessment of the environmental, health, or social impacts associated with the products covered in the scope of the standard."
PROCYON Soap Free products were determined by Green Seal to be non-toxic and free of ingredients causing oral, inhalation, or dermal toxicity, as well as free of *asthmagens, skin sensitizers, and heavy metals including, lead, hexavalent chromium, or selenium.
Green Seal also determined that PROCYON Soap Free products also do not contain reproductive toxins, volatile organic compounds, 2-butoxyethanol, alkylphenol ethoxylates, phthalates, and ozone-depleting compounds that contribute to the production of photochemical smog, tropospheric ozone, or poor indoor air quality.
PROCYON Soap Free products were also acknowledged by Green Seal as being non-toxic to aquatic life, not combustible, having no bioaccumulating compounds, and biodegradable.
Lastly, Green Seal determined that Plus Manufacturing offers training or training materials on the proper use of the product, including step-by-step instructions.
*Asthmagen. A substance designated as an asthma causing agent by the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC).
Asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that impairs breathing. Asthma affects children and adults, may be intermittent or persistent, and is further classified as mild, moderate, or severe. The chronic inflammation associated with variable airflow obstruction commonly causes difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. Symptoms may resolve completely between active episodes. Symptoms may occur during exposure, immediately after exposure, or up to 24 hours later in a "late phase," frequently interrupting sleep.

My emotions do not emanate from my vagina. You can refer to my sex by saying 'she is female' and to other members of this board by 'he is female' and so on but I don't really know why you'd want to. As has already been explained to you (with a source provided) 'he' and 'she' are gender pronouns. I'm sorry if you speak some other language where they're not, but this is an English-speaking board in which they are. And EVEN IF we all spoke daktorish in which they were sexed pronouns I don't see how it's relevant because as far as I know Xin is a male man... if you'd used 'they' as a pronoun you'd have been fine even if you were speaking daktorish and the rest of us were speaking english.Daktoria wrote:Again, I'm really not sure why there's this stubbornness about gender.
Especially in an emotionally tolerant society where emotions come from physique, how would we refer to a person's sex without words such as he, she, him, and her?
We're talking about the use of 'they'. Tookie said it was fine to use it in academia, you said it definitely wasn't, Sonic argued that it was, and that's where the conversation is at. S/he is a different discussion. I'm from a working class background too and people use 'they' and 'them' all the time to denote single people of unknown gender, there's no way you'd be misunderstood by anyone because of their class. Example: 'Someone crashed into my car. I didn't get a look at the driver but I bet they were drunk.' I use different registers when I'm at home with family and when I am engaged in academic discussion but the idea of 'they' being taken as referring exclusively to a plural set of people by either group is totally nonsensical to me. I don't really see why you think using it would cause anyone to 'suffer'.Daktoria wrote:Can you prove that working class people say "s/he" often? I can tell you coming from a working class background that you would get made fun of like no tomorrow if you talked that awkwardly.

RAGNAROK Launches the Ninja Second Class
Buena Park, California – February 6, 2013 –Gravity Interactive, a publisher of exciting massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), has launched the powerful second class evolution for the Ninja on 5 th February, 2013! After this update on Renewal, Ninjas can level beyond 99, giving them a massive boost in power! Find out more about the cunning and elusive Kagerou and Oboro here: http://www.playragnarok.com/news/updatedetail.aspx?id=224&p=1.
Many ages ago, there was a powerful clan of shadow warriors who served the Lord of Amatsu. Content to be the right hand to the feudal warlord, they were known as the Ninja-silent assassins who excelled in weapon and magical arts.
In time, the Lord of Amatsu grew to mistrust their growing power and influence, and they were forced to retreat to the shadows they held so dear. These Ninja passed into the realm of legend, a fairy tale told to frighten small children.
Just recently the descendants of the original Ninja have returned to assist in the battle against the forces of evil in Rune Midgards, and have been gathering recruits to pass on their ancient techniques.
Until now, there have been no men or women strong enough in body and spirit to learn the most secret Ninja arts, those developed by the founding members of the clan so long ago.
That is about to change. Beginning now, ninjas at base level 99 and job level 70 will be able to develop themselves into advanced Kagerou and Oboro class characters, super-powered Ninjas with a yen…for battle!
A descendant of the original Ninja clan has returned to assist in the battle against the forces of evil in Rune Midgard, and have been gathering recruits to pass on their ancient techniques.
"The ninjas have long been a favorite class to many, but they were limited in power due to their level restrictions, "says Ragnarok Lead Producer, Jason Heimdallr Koerperich. "The Male Kagerou and Female Oboro classes are much stronger than Ninjas; whether you built your Ninja around magic or hand-to-hand combat you'll find skills to complement your build!"
To prepare for the making the shadow leap to a Kagerou or Oboro, make sure to check out this animated introduction video:
Players can also find out more about the event, join up, and spread the word on the Ragnarok Online Official Facebook and get more details here: at the Playragnarok site!

By Alan Fram and Andrew TaylorWASHINGTON -- The top Senate negotiators on the effort to prevent the government from going over the "fiscal cliff" offered a pessimistic assessment Sunday barely 24 hours before a deadline to avert tax hikes on virtually every worker. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he's yet to receive a response to an offer he made on Saturday evening to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), the top Democratic negotiator. The Kentucky Republican said he's reached out to Vice President Joe Biden in hopes of breaking the impasse, and a McConnell spokesman confirmed the two have spoken. Despite indications of progress in the negotiations, Democrats said Republicans were proposing to slow future cost of living increases for Social Security recipients as part of a compromise to avoid the cliff. Democrats rejected the idea. "I'm concerned with the lack of urgency here. There's far too much at stake," McConnell said. "There is no single issue that remains an impossible sticking point -- the sticking point appears to be a willingness, an interest or courage to close the deal." Reid said he has been trying to come up with a counteroffer but has been unable to do so. He said he's been in frequent contact with President Barack Obama, who in a televised interview blamed Republicans for putting the nation's shaky economy at risk. "We have been talking to the Republicans ever since the election was over," Obama said in the interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday. "They have had trouble saying yes to a number of repeated offers." The pessimistic turn came as the House and Senate returned to the Capitol for a rare Sunday session. The fate of the negotiations remained in doubt, two days before the beginning of a new year that would trigger across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts that leaders in both parties have said they want to avoid. Reid said he is not "overly optimistic but I am cautiously optimistic" but reiterated that any agreement would not include the less generous inflation adjustment for Social Security.

For their second issue, Candy, the first magazine devoted to trans culture, dressed up James Franco in old school Joan Crawford-esque drag for the cover, shot by photographer Terry Richardson. This adds to the ever-increasingly-gay-friendly actor's list of random moments in LGBT support. Jezebel mentioned the cover Wednesday with the following blurb about Franco.
James Franco has been exploring sexuality for sometime — his art show included lots of male genitalia; in his student film he "dashes" through the Louvre wearing a penis on his nose. He did an interview with The Advocate, the world's leading gay news source. He's played gay men, and directed movies about gay men. He says he's not gay, but he certainly seems interested in sexual identity, gender and self-expression through performance art.
The magazine's trailer for this issue says there are only 1,000 copies in print available worldwide, so we're thinking that's like one issue in one bookstore in Dallas? And somehow, I don't think a used copy will be found at Half Price Books anytime soon. The magazine is scheduled for newsstands on Oct. 24.
Candy is the creation of Luis Venegas from Spain who is also behind the magazines Ey! Magateen and Fanzine137. With Candy, he touts it as "the first fashion magazine ever completely dedicated to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations. … Candy is a magazine for everybody. A space for individual freedom, and a publication that pushes people to take on the persona of what they always wanted to be."

Rangers Purchase Contract of LHP Feierabend from Round Rock, Option LHP Poreda
Arlington, Texas - The Texas Rangers announced prior to tonight's game that the club has purchased the contract of left-handed pitcher Ryan Feierabend (#68 - pronounced FEAR-ah-bend) from Triple-A Round Rock and optioned left-handed pitcher Aaron Poreda to Round Rock.
Feierabend, 28, will be looking to make his Texas debut and first major league appearance since an outing with Seattle on September 23, 2008 vs. Los Angeles-AL. A non-roster invitee to major league spring training, he has gone 8-5 with a 4.54 ERA (57 ER/113.0 IP) over 19 starts with Triple-A Round Rock this season. The southpaw ranks 2nd in the Pacific Coast League in innings and leads the Express in both wins and strikeouts. Feierabend originally joined the organization as minor league free agent prior to the 2013 campaign and went a combined 7-7 with a 3.70 (61 ER/148.1 IP) in 29 games/21 starts with Frisco (AA) and Round Rock (AAA). The Cleveland native was originally selected by Seattle in the 3rd round of the 2003 June draft and reached the majors with Seattle as a 20-year-old in 2006.
Poreda has gone 2-1 with a 5.91 ERA (14 ER/21.1 IP) in 26 relief appearances over three stints with the Rangers this season (April 29-May 28, June 5, and June 17-July 11).
With the addition of Feierabend, the Rangers now have a full 40-man roster.
ADDUCI AND E. BELTRE REHAB TRANSACTIONS: Outfielder Jim Adduci is scheduled to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Frisco tonight vs. Corpus Christi. Adduci has been on the disabled list since April 19 with a fractured left little finger. While on a rehab assignment in early June, Adduci re-injured the finger and hasn't played since a game on June 7 with Round Rock.
Additionally, outfielder Engel Beltre has been removed from his injury rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Frisco and he remains on the 60-day disabled list, where he began the season with a fractured right tibia.

The fourth annual "Copa de Leche" soccer tournament for dairy employees and owners will be held near Hanford, Calif., beginning later this month. The opening-round matches of the "Milk Cup" will take place Aug. 29-30 at Wreden Ranch Dairy as well as at nearby soccer complexes in Hanford and Tulare. Tournament play will continue over the coming weeks through second-elimination trials, with the finals set for Oct. 5 at Wreden Ranch. "We have 11 teams and are looking for a 12th team," says Cesar Rodriguez, dairy manager at Wreden Ranch. Contact Rodriguez at (559) 901-4366 to enter the tournament or get a soccer team schedule. Wreden Ranch manager Cesar Rodriguez is looking for a 12th team to enter the 2013 "Copa de Leche" soccer tournament. There is no entry fee for the dairy teams, and a dairy can enter more than one team. A team must be comprised of at least six dairy employees or owners. Each round's plays will consist of two 45-minute matches. Tournament play begins at 6 p.m. on Aug. 29. A barbeque will be held at Wreden Ranch Oct. 5 in conjunction with the championship match. "The dairy business has been tough, so this is a good time for the dairy people to get together, to make new friends, and for owners and workers to develop strong relationships," Rodriguez says. The tournament is sponsored by A&M Livestock, Mill Creek Vet Services, California Dairies Inc., Zoetis, the de Jong family, Central Valley Dairy Breeders, Sierra Desert Breeders, Hoof-Tec and VSI. The winning team will claim ownership for one year of the coveted trophy -- a restored milk can with the winning team's name inscribed on it. The Wreden Ranch dairy team holds the trophy as the winner of last year's "Copa de Leche" tournament. Back to news
