Should I try and keep on top of my disc with my upperbody while I throw it? It seems like I get a little less power but a much more consistent hyzer when I try to visualize keeping my chest over my disc during the reach back and drive (is this the fold/unfold method?).
On the other hand if I stand straight up I sometimes get a nice flat throw with great distance and other times I torque and have horribly flippy drives.

Film Festival Winners Announced
April 19, 2013
The 2013 Little Rivers Short Shorts Film Festival was held on April 19 in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Eighteen short films were shown, including film trailers, comedy, documentary, music videos and spoofs. Film-makers ranged in age from 9 years old to 63.
Assistant Professor of English Dr. Heather Duda served as this year's juror. The Juror's Award was given to Jessica Preston of Jackson, Ohio for her short horror film "A Good Murder". Dr. Duda writes that "The film is a clever way to tell a story. The narrative holds up under the editing choices; the editing is unique but still provides unity to the overall film. Also, the camera angles are creative and appropriate for the story. Finally, the music fits; it is very Tarantino-esque."
The People's Choice award was determined by audience voting, and was awarded to Ryan Griffith, also of Jackson, Ohio for his film "Left Alone", which tells the story of a National Gaurdsman deployed after 9/11 who struggled to return to civilian life following his service overseas.
Prizes were funded by admission fees, donations and dvd sales. Each winner received $96.50, a giant check and a stainless steel trophy designed by Professor of Art Kevin Lyles. This is the second year of the film festival and represents a marked growth in attendance and prizes. Last year 32 people attended and each prize winner received $32. This year, over 60 people were in the audience.
The film festival is the creation of Associate Professor of Art Benjy Davies, who also entered two films in the competition. One of these films described the struggles and triumphs of a gorilla who enrolls as a student at Rio Grande. The film features a number of Rio staff, faculty and students. Initially, the gorilla failed both academically and socially, but with the aid of a few understanding professors and some good friends, he manages to graduate and succeed in life.
DVDs are available for both the 2012 and the 2013 film festival. Contact Benjy Davies for more information.

Adoption fee: Cats that HAVE NOT been spayed/neutered are $80.00 Plus a $35 spay/neuter deposit
Adoption fee: Cats that HAVE been spayed/neutered are $100.00
All vet care is completed before adoption of a cat If the cat is older than 6 months. This includes but not limited to FIV/LEUK test negative, spay,neuter, and annual vaccinations, flea treatment, and ear mite treatments.
If interested in adopting please go to www.fewstepsfromhome.com and fill out an adoption application.
If you would like to help you can sponsor a specific kitten to be spayed/neutered or sponsor an adoption fee for a specific cat. We also need donations for vet care and also cat food. Please help us care for these animals.
The adoption fee we ask of adopters is not to pay for the cat. The cat itself is free! The adoption fee is used merely to reimburse our rescue for veterinary expenses that any responsible owner would spend anyway when bringing a new cat into their home. However if there are any funds left over from one cats adoption fee, it is used to help the next cat that comes along. Sometimes FSFH's veterinarian expenses on one animal will be less than this fee, but another cat might require several hundred additional dollars worth of care. Without being able to recover at least the minimal veterinarian expenses on our cats, FSFH could not continue to rescue. FSFH's fee does not cover the general cost of keeping a cat in rescue (food, equipment, etc.). FSFH relies solely on donations to cover all other expenses related to caring for their rescued cats.
Thank you for understanding.
Adoption events at various times and places please check the web site for more information.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Few Steps From Home Animal Rescue.

Brazil Trips
There are few countries as beautiful and vibrant as Brazil with nature so exuberant and people so welcoming. Thousands of kilometres of pristine and usually deserted beaches line the coast, some pounded by superb surf, others lapped by a gentle sea. They are backed by dunes the size of deserts or forests of swaying coconut palms. Jewel-like islands offshore offer some of the best diving and snorkelling in the South Atlantic; and warm shallow waters where Humpback whales gather to calf and spinner dolphins cavort in the waves.
The table-top mountains of the Brazilian interior are covered in medicinal plants and drained by mineral-rich rivers that tumble through gorges and rush over spectacular tiered waterfalls, up to 3 km wide. In the Amazon, virgin forest stretches unbroken for more than 2500 km in every direction and the earth is a tapestry of green broken by a filigree of rivers. These have islands too – the largest bigger than Denmark and wilder and more forested than Borneo.Read more
The Pantanal, the world's biggest wetland, offers the best wildlife-watching in the western hemisphere. Capybara, cayman, paca, agouti and coati cover the ground like fallen leaves in autumn. Herons, parrots, cardinals and egrets fill the air like butterflies and there's a hawk or eagle on every other fence post.
The tiny cobble and whitewash gold-mining towns of Goias and Minas Gerais contrast with the busy metropolises of Sao Paulo, Salvador and Recife, which offer the most exciting and surprising urban culture in Latin America. And then there's Rio - the jewel in the country's urban crown, romantic Rio; with its bays and islands, boulder mountains, beaches and beautiful people.
But best of all there are the Brazilians, in all their joyful diversity. Portugal, France, Ireland, Holland, and Britain all laid claims here and left their cultures to mingle with the indigenous inhabitants; Brazil is home to the greatest numbers of Africans, Arabs and Japanese in the Americas, and bierfests, sushi, bauhaus, rock music and rodeos are as much a part of the culture as bossa nova and football. As yet, the country is undiscovered beyond the cliches, but Brazil is becoming big news – with a World Cup to host in 2014 and an Olympics two years later; so visit before Brazil becomes yet another destination on the exotic travel circuit, and have it all to yourself; and the local people.

HOUSTON - On Feb. 19, a woman was walking her dog when it barked at a Walmart bag. Inside that bag was a baby girl, obviously newborn and very much alive. It turns out that baby was in relatively good health and is thriving. But where is her mother? What kind of future is "Baby Chloe" likely to have? Joining Khambrel Marshall this week for Houston Newsmakers is Estella Olguin, the community relations director for Harris County Protective Services. She talks about the search for Baby Chloe's parents and why it's important to know about that genetic link and the adoptive process that is already underway to find a new home and new life for Chloe.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is underway and with its 28,000 volunteers continues to hold the crown of the biggest rodeo in the United States. But the rodeo is about more than animals and the midway carnival rides. The bottom line is to raise money for Texas students. The goal is more than 60 $18,000 scholarships for deserving students in the state of Texas. Joining Khambrel is R.H. "Steve" Stevens, chairman of the board of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and Donald Middleton, chairman of the Black Heritage Committee. They talk about what makes the rodeo such a success and how you can also get involved.
If you have an outstanding warrant, now is the time to be concerned because March 2 is the start of the 2013 Great Texas Warrant Roundup. In what is the largest combined effort of its kind, police agencies from across the state aggressively work to arrest those who have outstanding warrants. Currently in the city of Houston alone there are 300,000 outstanding warrants! Joining Khambrel to talk about the roundup is Judge Elaine Marshall, administrative judge of the municipal courts and Gwendolyn Goins, the public information officer of the municipal courts. They discuss who is affected and how those with warrants can pay to get off the arrest list!
Watch Houston Newsmakers with Khambrel Marshall Sunday at 10 a.m., right after Meet the Press with David Gregory.

Boeing's decision to re-engine the existing 737 will depend not only on the actions of arch-rival Airbus, but whether or not the Chicago-based airframe maker concludes that it could bring to market a good enough replacement airplane by 2020, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney told analysts and investors at last week's Sanford C. Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York.
"The number-one thing I want to know is during what time frame we can get an all-new airplane done, that our customers will pay for," said McNerney. "If that answer is 2025, then the case for re-engining strengthens. If the answer is 2020, no matter what Airbus does, I think customers will wait for us."
Re-engining, if Boeing decides to follow that route, would likely happen around 2016, added McNerney. "We're also studying how fast can we flow the technology from the 78[7] into a new narrowbody, what will an engine look like out there, and then stare at the two and make a judgment. I'd rather not put the backlog at risk twice if I don't have to."
Meanwhile, McNerney essentially discounted the Bombardier C Series as a serious threat, referring to it as one of a class of "regional jets that are getting a little bigger." Seating up to 145 passengers, the CS300 would occupy a capacity category now filled by the 737-700 and A319. "That's not necessarily a market segment we want to be in," he said, referring to the sector that the C Series would occupy.
"The one thing I do know about new entrants is that the Chinese will be there," said McNerney. "And when I say 'there' I mean a competitive narrowbody airplane in the 150-, 160-, 170-[seat range]–not a regional jet. The argument is around will it be in 10 years [or] 20 years."

Simple which team would you rather see take to the floor opening night this upcoming season?
Team A:
PG: Hill, DC, Lance
SG: Gordon, BRoy, Orlando
SF: Danny, PG, Dahntay
PF: West, Tyler, Lou
C: Kaman(or Camby), Plumlee, Oden
Still a play off contender, and very deep which was our biggest advantage last year. We either sign Kaman or Camby in this scenario.
Team B:
PG: Hill, DC, Lance
SG: PG, BRoy, Orlando
SF: Danny, Dahntay, FA Filler
PF: West, Tyler, Lou
C: Hibbert, Plumlee, Oden
Basically same team we filled last year.
I pose this question because everyone seems upset about the Roy thing, but in reality if we can sign EG and a decent defensive minded C, we can get more scorers and be a more rounded team than last year.

Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution
By Capt. Bill Pike — February 2005
Inboard Performance System (IPS) is being billed by Volvo Penta as the most revolutionary development to hit the world of recreational marine propulsion since the introduction of the stern drive (by Volvo Penta, coincidentally) some 40 years ago. Why? First, there's the free-thinking creativity it took to conceive the system. According to technical project leader Lennart Arvidsson, the original idea for IPS came from submarine periscopes, which vertically transfer and direct sight via motorbike-like handgrips. Why, wondered Arvidsson and his fellow engineers, couldn't an inboard propulsion system be designed that would transfer power through a vertical shaft and direct it via hydraulics instead of handgrips? "Once we gave up on the hydraulics and went with electronic steering and shifting," Arvidsson says, "we never looked back." Then, there's the engineering that went into IPS:
• Forward-facing counter-rotating propellers are more efficient than conventional props because in the tractor or pulling mode (with the boat going ahead), they encounter clean, solid water, not water disturbed by struts, shafts, or gearcases. Is there a downside to this? Possibly. Forward-facing propellers are virtually unprotected in the tractor mode. There simply are no struts, shafts, or other paraphernalia to protect them.
• Maintenance is easier in some respects. For example, there's a dual-purpose dipstick just forward of the IPS exhaust inlet elbow. You can use it to check oil levels or pump out approximately 60 percent of the oil to effect a partial oil change. Of course, hauling the boat, removing the drain plug inside the exhaust port of the IPS underwater unit, and draining all or most of the oil makes for a more complete job.
• There's no aluminum to corrode. The nibral and stainless steel underwater parts of IPS are robust and highly resistant to corrosion as well as marine fouling.
• Steering is electronic. It instantly processes driver input and conveys it to underwater units that articulate broadly at maneuvering speeds (26 degrees on either side of center) and more narrowly for safety at high speeds (12 degrees on either side of center). The upshot? A highly sophisticated, highly responsive, automotive-style progressive steering system that's easy and fast-turning, especially at slow speeds. Incidentally, should an electronic steering malfunction occur, each IPS comes with a special tool that can be used to center the unit so the boat can return home via twin-screw technique. An autopilot integrated with IPS will soon be offered as well.
• Shifting is electronic. Because of its synchronization with the units' electronically activated gears, the engine control that I used on our IPS-equipped Cruisers 400 Express is the best one on the market, in my opinion.
• Installation is easier. Because the IPS underwater unit functions as an exhaust pipe, sound and vibration damper, and cooling-water intake, it easily upbolts into a hull that has been prepared with a right-size hole and fiberglass reinforcing ring. No time-consuming installation of exhaust risers, sea strainers, and other ancillary equipage is necessary. Moreover, IPS is more compact and so saves engine space, providing more room for accommodations, tankage, and stowage.
• And finally, there's the breakaway feature. In a high-speed grounding or a collision situation, IPS's underwater unit—which may protrude more than comparable inboard props, especially those in tunnels—is designed to simply snap off without opening a hole in the bottom of the boat. The necessity for this sort of thing is obvious, although I think the jury is still out on the long-term practicality and cost of this feature. —B.P.

Dental Hygiene
Deep rooted cleaning
My dentist is telling me I need this procedure done. I disagree. My gums are in good condition, they don`t bleed, are not sensitve and I floss regularly.
Is this a necessary procedure or is he just trying to make more money?
If you have any doubt I would suggest a second opinion. It is possible that a patient will not have bleeding when they floss but still have heavier calculus (tarter) that needs deep scaling. If the floss is not getting under the gum line, it doesn't cleanse properly and the calculus builds up. Also, if a patient is a smoker, the tissues do not receive proper oxygen and circulation which will mask the bleeding. Periodontal disease unfortunately is silent, so many patients that need a deep scaling do not have sensitivity.
A second opinion will help in your decision to seek treatment. If you have had x-rays taken of your teeth, you will need to take a copy of them with you to the new office.

Seth Smith could see his at-bats completely crushed with the addition of Chris Young to what was already a full outfield. Of course, they said the same thing about Smith last year, and he wound up with the second-highest number of plate appearances (441) of his career.
It's a bit of a stretch, but Michael Choice isn't far from being ready to break into the Oakland outfield. But not only is the outfield jammed, he also needs more time after losing at-bats thanks to a broken thumb (now healed).
CF Coco Crisp
DH Chris Young
RF Josh Reddick
LF Yoenis Cespedes
1B Brandon Moss
3B Josh Donaldson
C John Jaso
2B Scott Sizemore
SS Hiroyuki Nakajima
There's room for other names. Derek Norris could oust Jaso behind the plate, Jemile Weeks or Adam Rosales could sneak in at second base, and Jed Lowrie will push Nakajima at shortstop.
LHP Brett Anderson
RHP Jarrod Parker
LHP Tommy Milone
RHP A.J. Griffin
RHP Dan Straily
Although this group figures to get the call during the first week of the season, someone will have to make room for Bartolo Colon when his suspension ends. Griffin and Straily will be feeling the pressure to stay in the rotation.
At this point there are no obvious candidates. The spring begins with the A's basically healthy.
In trading Chris Carter to the Astros to get Jed Lowrie, the A's opened the door for Brandon Moss to play first base every day. Given his production last year, the more Moss at-bats, the better.
The A's are seeking a five-year extension at the Coliseum. They need a place to stay, but five years? Maybe they've given up waiting for commissioner Bud Selig to act on the club's desire to move to San Jose or to retire and leave the decision to someone else.

Drivers were penalized on pit road, wrecked and worried about fuel during the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday.
Here are some of the things they said on their in-car radios while they competed at Sonoma Raceway and then on Twitter after the event:
Jeff Gordon crew chief Alan Gustafson after Gordon came down pit road just after caution came out for rain: "You didn't make pit road by when the light came on Jeff, is that what you're saying?
Gordon, admitting violation: "That's right. It was red as soon as I crossed."
Gustafson: "It's tough man. That would have been the call. Sorry. I had to do it there."
Gordon: "Oh yeah, 10-4. Right decision. Just a second (off)."
Spotter Eddie D'Hondt: "That was about to be golden right there."
Juan Pablo Montoya after wreck with Kyle Busch: "Apologize to the 18. I wheel-hopped like crazy for no reason."
Kyle Busch after speeding penalty: "Can somebody find out what section it was?"
Crew chief Dave Rogers: "Segment 1."
Busch: "That's speeding in, not out. … Am I right?"
Rogers: "Double-checking now. I don't know."
Spotter Tony Hirschman: "From what I had, that was the very first section once you got on there. … Kurt just did his pit stop. He got busted on his pit stop, too."
Rogers: "45.27 (mph, above 45 mph limit), section 1, coming on pit road, same place they just caught the 78. We must be cheating the radius (of the turn on pit road)."
Hirschman: "They got Kurt twice in that same section. If there's a way to cut the corner, that must be what they got him for."
Busch: "That's what I believe. I believe it's cutting the corner."
Kurt Busch after being told of speeding penalty: "Is that confirmed?"
Spotter Rick Carelli: "We've got to do a pass-through this time."
Busch: "Is this confirmed?"
Crew chief Todd Berrier: "Yes, it is confirmed."
Busch after serving penalty: "We're the only car on our strategy? Right? The 18 might be with us but there's nobody that I've got to race back here? … My question is has everybody pitted?"
Berrier: "Yeah, we copied you Kurt. We copied your question. We've got to pit again. Section 1. We've got to do one more pass through and we'll get caught up after that. … Stop and go."
Kurt Busch: "What have I got to do now?"
Carelli: "Stop and go. Pass through. Stop and go."
Kurt Busch: "Is it a pass through or a stop and go?"
Berrier: "Stop and go."
Brad Keselowski spotter Joey Meier: "If you have any tire smoke, it's on the tread portion of the tire. It will self-clear the way it's pushed down. But the sidewall is fine. They're not concerned."
Keselowski: "Which fender? Hell, they're all tore up now."
Meier: "Right fender."
Denny Hamlin after contact with Tony Stewart: "OK. Who am I wrecking?"
Crew chief Darian Grubb: "The 14."
Hamlin: "10-4. … We were in line trying to pass those (expletive) slow. … We've got heavy damage, running the splitter really bad (on the ground)."
Carl Edwards after wreck, where he tapped Kyle Busch: "Did the 18 get torn up?
Crew chief Jimmy Fennig: "I'm not sure. He got in the tire barrier. He's still rolling."
Edwards: "All right. 10-4. I was having fun racing him. I thought he knew I was there. Oh that sucks."
Martin Truex Jr. after win: "Yeah, babbbbyyy, yeah babbbbyyyy."
Crew chief Chad Johnston: "Not bad for an old clammer from New Jersey, buddy. Good job."
Spotter Mike Herman Jr.: "Yeah, for a modified driver from Wall Stadium (in New Jersey), man, pretty good job turning left and right."

KERSHAW – The town of Kershaw's procrastination almost cost it two state grants totaling $1 million to build a water tank at Haile Gold Mine, but the project is back on track and the town will get to keep the money.
The two S.C. Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) grants were awarded to the town in July 2015 for infrastructure projects at Haile Gold Mine that will help bring jobs to that part of the county.
Kershaw provides water service to the mining operation, which is about 3 miles east of the town on Haile Gold Mine Road.
So far, no candidates have filed to run for the vacant District 5 seat on Lancaster City Council.
"Nobody has even called to ask about it," said Rick Crimminger, chairman of the Lancaster County Election Commission. "I'm surprised that some folks in one of the neighborhoods of the district haven't come together about who they want to represent them on city council."
The filing period ends at noon Friday.
The city of Lancaster will create an economic development incentive fund to help promote and recruit local commercial businesses within its borders.
City council unanimously voted Tuesday night to use the $25,000 it had originally budgeted for its 2015-16 Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. membership/participation dues as a start.
City officials severed ties with the in-limbo LCEDC in November 2015, choosing instead to support the county's new economic development department.
With his hand on a Bible held by three of his grandchildren, John Howard was sworn in as Lancaster's mayor Monday night at city hall.
Howard, the longest-serving member of Lancaster City Council, was elected Feb. 23 to fill the unexpired term of Joe Shaw, who died last November. Shaw's widow, Charlotte, who had endorsed Howard for the job, attended the ceremony.
Months after local officials dissolved their relationship with the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp., plans are moving forward with the search for a director for Lancaster County's new in-house department.
County Administrator Steve Willis says the county has hired Texas-based executive recruitment firm Waters & Co. to identify top candidates for the new position. The county had previously put the word out through local newspapers and economic development association websites, but felt a professional firm could help hasten the process.
A third candidate has entered the fray in the already crowded field for Lancaster County Council's District 1 seat.
Van Wyck resident Terry Graham, owner of wedding venue and strawberry farm The Ivy Place, announced Thursday his intention to run for the seat being vacated by two-term Councilman Larry McCullough.
Fran Person, a former aide to Vice President Joe Biden who once played on the Gamecocks' offensive line, will challenge Rep. Mick Mulvaney for the 5th District congressional seat.
The 33-year-old Tega Cay Democrat announced his candidacy Monday in a YouTube video, saying he would work to improve education, fix the nation's infrastructure and end the federal sequestration budget cuts.
The teamwork needed to get things accomplished, he said, has been lost in Washington.
Two terms are enough for Lancaster County Councilman Larry McCullough, who announced this week he would not run again for his seat.
McCullough, who was elected in 2008 and served as council chairman for two years until 2015, represents District 1 in the county's Panhandle. He is the second county council member this month to announce he wasn't running. Council Chairman Bob Bundy revealed in early February that his first term would also be his last.
County officials are mulling whether to use $500,000 in proceeds from the sale of a county building to help construct an EMS training center.
Lancaster County Council considered a resolution Monday night, Feb. 22, to earmark money from the sale of the former Wamsutta building at 3888 Chester Highway for use in developing a "suitable training facility" for Lancaster County EMS.

Norris, Astros drop series finale at Fenway
Middle innings prove costly, as Houston falls to 0-7 all time in Boston
BOSTON -- It was methodical and convincing, and provided the Astros with a glimpse of what it takes to compete in the American League. The Red Sox have been one of the bullies of the league for the last decade, and they weren't about to show the league's newest members any hospitality.
The Red Sox outplayed the Astros for four consecutive days at Fenway Park, spraying baseballs to every part of the ballpark -- and even beyond -- while making countless big pitches to escape jams. The Sox polished off a four-game sweep on Sunday afternoon with a 6-1 win over the Astros.
"After four games, they played better than us," Astros manager Bo Porter said matter-of-factly.
The Astros, who have lost nine games in a row on the road, fell to 0-7 in their history at Fenway Park, with their AL East grinder continuing with a trip to New York to face the Yankees for three games beginning on Monday night. Houston is 1-8 all time against the Yankees.
"I know we're struggling right now, but we have to make some adjustments," outfielder Fernando Martinez said. "We'll be fine."
The Red Sox made several big defensive plays in the series, including a terrific game-ending, diving catch by Daniel Nava in right field that was indicative of the lack of breaks the Astros are getting these days.
Houston starter Bud Norris came through with a much-needed quality start, allowing nine hits and five runs (three earned) over six innings, but it wasn't enough to rescue a team that's struggling to score runs. Norris threw 108 pitches, his second-highest total this season.
"I gave this team a chance," Norris said. "I know these guys have been battling, and I really wanted to go out there and get a 'W' today to end this skid. But we have to keep battling."
John Lackey returned from a 20-day stint on the disabled list with a right biceps strain and won for the first time this season by allowing one run and five hits in six innings. The only run the Astros scored came in the first, when Jason Castro and Carlos Pena drew two-out walks and Ronny Cedeno followed with an RBI single.
"They were swinging pretty early in counts in the second through the fifth, [I] got quite a few ground balls on first, second pitches," Lackey said. "They definitely got pretty aggressive on me, so I was trying to locate my fastball most of the time."
Norris (3-3) needed 33 pitches to get through the first inning, giving up an RBI single by David Ortiz before stranding the bases loaded. Stephen Drew had a two-out, two-run triple in the fourth to make it, 3-1, and the Red Sox took advantage of two errors by shortstop Marwin Gonzalez on the same play to score two unearned runs in the fifth.
"I didn't ... execute the pitch I wanted to Drew," Norris said. "That was probably the one mistake I felt like I made all day. I'm ahead in the count [1-2] and trying to throw a fastball up, and I leave it down and it's right over the plate and the guy put a good swing on it. He's got good numbers against me, and that's a little frustrating. But we have to finish that and get out of that inning."
The Astros, who went 5-for-48 (.104) with runners in scoring position in the series, loaded the bases with one out in the sixth. But Lackey struck out Martinez and got Matt Dominguez to hit into an inning-ending fielder's choice.
"You look at their pitchers -- and even when they got in trouble -- they were able to make quality pitches to get out of trouble," said Porter, "and a lot of times those quality pitches were in or breaking stuff down and out of the zone to get us to chase."
Just prior to striking out in the sixth, Martinez hit a ball down the left-field line that nearly fell in for what would have a huge double.
"If Fernando's ball hits off the wall fair, it's a two-RBI double and the game is a different game," Porter said. "All those things are part of the game and you have to be able to overcome them and [you] can't change them."

Gibson rests Prado, commends attitude amid struggles
PHOENIX -- Amid a lengthy slump at the plate, Martin Prado was out of the D-backs' lineup on Sunday for the first time this season. The 29-year-old, who started the club's first 28 games, is batting .136 since April 12 and has just one hit in his last 22 at-bats.
"He's pressing," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "Nobody is insulated from it in this game, nobody. ... I'm sure he's putting pressure on himself -- we all do -- but he'll be fine. We'll get him back to where he can be."
Throughout his struggles at the plate, Gibson has been impressed with how well Prado has handled adversity. The utility man has made just one error while moving all over the field, playing third base, second base, left field and one game at shortstop.
"He's probably struggling as much as he has ever struggled in his career. The guy is a perfectionist, and he works very hard, but if you were to look in our dugout last night, you wouldn't know he was 0-for-5," Gibson said.
"His steadiness is very calming to his teammates. He's not down there with his head in his hands. He's not thinking about his last at-bat. He's right back up there watching and talking. He's playing great defense, too. That's impressive. It takes a special character person to do that."

Two young men who spent today on the roof of a house in Highfield have been coaxed back inside by police.
Trained negotiators have been in communication with the youths for several hours at the terraced house in Redcliffe Street.
It is believed the boys, described by police as "juveniles", have tonight been moving between the roof and the interior.
Earlier today the youths, who took to the roof just before midday, were hurling missiles from the rooftop.
Police cordoned off the neighbourhood around Redcliffe Street, and tonight police remained on guard at each access point.
Around an hour ago one large group of male youths, gathered in nearby Drewry Road, cheered as a firework was thrown into the street.
Police inspector Paul Clynch, who is overseeing the incident, told the Keighley News that the safety of the boys was paramount, as well as the safety of the local community.
He said: "Negotiations are ongoing. At the moment they're not on the roof. The paramount thing is that we can resolve the incident without anyone getting hurt."
Insp Clynch said he could not give details of why the youths had first gone on the roof, because they were juveniles.
He said the boys had not threatened to harm themselves.
This afternoon the incident attracted dozens of onlookers, despite the cold. Some of them said they were not able to get back into their homes because their street was cordoned off.
One man, Amjid Ali Khan, said the youths had been his tenants for about seven months.

Today the Gazette is launching an appeal to raise £10,000 to help a special needs nursery in Devizes continue its incredible work, that changes the lives of young children and their families.
Devizes Opportunity Centre in Bellevue Road is to lose £10,000 in funding from Wiltshire Council after central government slashed a special grant.
The money could make the difference between three very young children with learning difficulties getting the help they need at the right age or being left without much support.
Centre manager Betty Newman said: "I never want to turn a child away, but we need to make up the deficit caused by this latest funding cut or it could mean that we have to cut hours or places."
Last year the centre had to raise £40,000 to supplement money it receives from the council and other sources and from April that will rise to £50,000.
Among the children being helped at the nursery is Eliza French, 16 months, from Devizes who has been attending the opportunity centre since September as she has yet to start walking.
Her mum Josie said: "The centre is a fantastic place. I think it is great that the Gazette is organising this appeal. Before Eliza started there I knew it existed but I didn't realise what a tremendous job it did in supporting not just the child but the whole family."
The charity helps children from birth to five years old with disabilities, learning difficulties or complex life threatening conditions.
Mrs Newman has been told by Wiltshire Council that instead of receiving the £83,705 it got from the county for providing the service last year it will only receive £73,705 for 2014/15.
This is because central government has withdrawn its Aiming High For Disabled Children grants which have provided £10,000 a year for the nursery.
Even with this grant last year the nursery had to raise £40,000 to cover its running costs but this year it will be at least £50,000.
Mrs Newman, who has worked at the centre in Bellevue Road, Devizes for 21 years, said: "We can use all the help we can possibly get to prevent us from having to reduce the quality of care we give or the number of children we take.
"We understand that this is a central Government cut that has been passed on to us by Wiltshire Council, but we do not want to reduce the level of care we give.
"The demand for this special service we give to children and parents has increased not gone down.
"I never want to have to turn a child away because I understand how difficult it is for parents when they find out there is something wrong with their child.
"We are here to support and nurture not just the children but the parents as well.
"We offer a one-stop shop care package for the children, which saves the parents who are already stressed and upset from having to travel to lots of different hospitals or clinics."
Many youngsters who have received help from the nursery have been able to go on to mainstream school. Others with greater problems have flourished at special schools or other specialist centres once they reach the age of four or five.
Julia Kerin, 47, of Hazel Close, Marlborough, thought her son Paddy, three, might never walk after being diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder.
But six months ago after intensive therapy at Devizes Opportunity Centre he took his first step – and now he loves to play outside with his two big brothers.
Mrs Kerin said: "At eight or nine months he still wasn't sitting up and was quite floppy. The person who first told me about Devizes Opportunity Centre was the woman who ran a music class I took him to, so we were not referred in the normal way.
"Right from the start the centre was absolutely fantastic. We were told that he would probably eventually walk but I was worried he might not. So when he took his first steps it was lovely."
Chairman of trustees Graham Gaiger said: "The work the centre does is amazing and gives young children, with in some cases severe disabilities, the best opportunity possible to fulfill their potential and get the best possible start in life.
"All of the staff go well above and beyond anything they are contracted to do and are so enthusiastic. This is what makes the centre the place it is.
"This further cut in funding has come as a major blow to the centre which already has to cover a deficiency in money with grants and fundraising.
"I would urge anyone who can spare any money, no matter how small, to make a donation or to think about the centre if they are doing a sponsored event."
He said the trustees and the centre's committee were very grateful to everyone who already support its work with donations.
Mrs Newman said that parents were also very supportive but often because of the amount of time and energy they had to spend looking after a child with learning difficulties many did not have time for fundraising.
She said: "People can be absolutely certain that any money they raise for us will be used for the good of the children."
The committee has organised a quiz night from 7.30pm on March 7 at St Joseph's School, Devizes. It costs £12 for a team of four to enter. Ring (01380) 726077.
- You can do your bit to help the Gazette's appeal by organising anything from a cake stall to getting your friends to sponsor you for some weird and wacky trial such as sitting in a bath of beans.
Whatever you decide let us know so we can help promote your event and make sure you raise as much money as possible.

Boynton Beach, Fla. -- Designer Shoe Warehouse Inc., has selected VendorNet to provide ship-from-store and dropship management solutions.
VendorNet, a wholly owned subsidiary of GSI Commerce, an eBay Inc. company, is a provider of cross-channel fulfillment and supply chain technology. DSW will use VendorNet's StoreNet Live to implement omnichannel retail capabilities, including brick-and-mortar store fulfillment for online sales.
Through StoreNet's Ship-from Store offering, DSW's fleet of 364 stores will be positioned as direct-to-consumer fulfillment locations. DSW will leverage store inventory and personnel to fulfill store and online orders, recapturing sales that would have been lost due to out-of-stock conditions. StoreNet will also enable DSW to sell-through select store merchandise at higher margins based on specific criteria such as end-of-life products. In addition, DSW is deploying VendorNet Dropship Manager to further enhance product assortment and availability for its customers.
"With today's consumers being more powerful than the purveyor of goods, out-of-stocks are unacceptable; customers will go elsewhere," stated Roger Rawlins, SVP e-commerce, and leader of omnichannel initiatives at DSW. "We want to offer our customers universal inventory availability which is central to our omnichannel mantra 'any shoe, anywhere, anytime.' Deploying StoreNet will be a major milestone in making this mantra a reality."
Rawlins cited a number of reasons DSW selected VendorNet as its omnichannel solutions partner, including best practice guidance, speed-to-market, a simple and intuitive user interface for its store associates, and the unequivocal endorsement from existing top-tier retail clients.
"At the end of the day, we found that StoreNet is hands-down the best solution for our store associates. Plus, it's the closest turnkey omnichannel solution in the marketplace requiring little to no customization," commented Rawlins.

Topic: Fever attacks
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share my concern about Peter. I have posted his story before. He seems to be doing so well, that after a couple of weeks you tend to forget how ill he is. And then suddenly, there is a fever attack.
This happens about every 1,5-2 months. He then takes antibiotics and after 2-3 days everything seems normal again.
Last week we went for a short 4 day holiday to one of our Dutch islands. Beautiful weather, completely relaxed days and we came back tanned and with the idea we can conquer the world.
Last night Peter said he had a little pain on his right side and suddenly this morning the body temperature was 39.2 C.
I read on this forum very little about these fever attacks. Up till now the antibiotics help, but there comes a day that he had one cure too many and it won't help anymore.
Anyone any experience on this? Most of the days since we heard about Peters illness are very happy. I love and respect that fighter of mine. But there are days I'm so scared.
Sorry guys, I just needed to clean my chest a little.
Love and all the best for all of you,

A legal settlement involving Plan Bay Area has both supporters and opponents of regional planning in Marin claiming vindication.
Bay Area regional agencies responsible for Plan Bay Area have settled a lawsuit filed by environmental groups that asserted the plan overstates its ability to reduce greenhouse gas production and fails to protect the health of vulnerable communities situated near transportation corridors.
A collaboration of four regional government agencies, Plan Bay Area sets out housing and transportation plans in response to the California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, which requires each of the state's 18 metropolitan areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks 7 percent per capita by 2020 and 15 percent by 2035.
Plan Bay Area aims to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction targets by requiring 78 percent of new housing and 62 percent of new jobs in the Bay Area through 2035 to be located within some 170 "priority development areas." These are areas typically accessible to mass transit, jobs, shopping and other services that have been identified and approved by cities or counties for future growth. Local jurisdictions that approve priority development areas will be rewarded with grant money.
Greenhouse gases
The plan was designed to cut greenhouse emissions by reducing automobile trips.
Soon after Plan Bay Area was approved a year ago, Communities for a Better Environment and the Sierra Club sued the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments, the two lead agencies overseeing development of the plan.
"Our over-arching concern was the plan was not set up to work the way it was supposed to," said Irene Gutierrez of Earthjustice, a nonprofit representing the environmental groups. "We were looking at the environmental reporting on the plan, and it looked like greenhouse gases were going to go up."
Gutierrez said her clients were also worried that some of the priority development areas identified in the plan lacked access to transit lines and could be threatened by sea-level rise.
"We were concerned these areas wouldn't be sustainable in the long term," Gutierrez said.
She said the settlement requires the agencies to "more honestly account" for the plan's effects on greenhouse gas emissions; provide the public with information on how the priority development areas will be able to grow sustainably into the future; and examine how freight movement in PDAs may harm people living there.
Ken Moy, legal counsel for ABAG, said under the agreement the additional analysis will be provided when the plan is updated in 2017.
Proud of plan
"We feel proud of the work we did," Moy said. "But in the update there is always room for improvement. We are required under the law to update this plan every four years, so this is an ongoing process."
Susan Kirsch, one of the co-founders of Citizen Marin, a vocal critic of Plan Bay Area, sees significance in the settlement's requirement that the agencies provide a more accurate account of the plan's effect on greenhouse gas production.
"It implies that what we've been dealing with, as many of us have claimed, are patterns of deceit," Kirsch said.
Regarding the concern cited in the suit that people living in the PDAs would suffer due to freight movement, Kirsch said, "It underscores so much of the way that ABAG and MTC operate, kind of like bullies on the playground. There is a kind of predator mentality in dealing with the most vulnerable."
Appeases critics?
But David Edmondson, one of the co-founders of Coalition for a Livable Marin, said many of the issues raised in the lawsuit resulted due to the regional agencies' eagerness to appease groups that, like Citizen Marin, oppose the idea of denser housing along transportation corridors.
Edmondson noted that the environmental impact report prepared for Plan Bay Area contained an alternative that would have reduced greenhouse gas production more than the alternative that was adopted. This "environment, equity and jobs" alternative called for increased transit service to historically disadvantaged communities to be paid for with higher bridge tolls and a new "vehicle miles traveled," or VMT, tax.
"MTC and ABAG decided to go with a weaker plan that satisfied the political right in the Bay Area, which wanted to sprawl a little bit more and wanted more car investment," Edmondson said.
Gutierrez said the lawsuit shouldn't be misconstrued as an attack on the basic idea behind Plan Bay Area.
"Our clients very much feel there is a role for regional planning," Gutierrez said. "It just needs to be done well, and it needs to be transparent so the public really knows what is going on."

T.I. Reality Show: Rapper Sheds Light on Project — Exclusive
Last night (Dec. 1), T.I. and wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris attended the premiere of their new VH1 reality TV show, 'T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,' at New York's posh hotel Yotel. T.I.'s AKOO clothing brand hosted the event, which included celebrity guests like Swizz Beatz, and The BoomBox was there to get the details on the show that chronicles Tip's re-acclimation to his career and family, with his wife and six kids, following his release from prison back in September.
Originally jailed in 2009, after his arrest for attempting to buy unregistered weapons, Tip's most recent 11-month stint behind bars resulted from a violation of his probation on drug charges. So now that he has a new lease on life and a new set of priorities — "God, family, hustle. In that order" — who is T.I. feeling the pressure from to get it right this time?
"Always the family," he reveals to The BoomBox. "I don't owe the industry nothing but hot music. Hot music and hot material, you know what I'm saying? Because, if I had never gotten into trouble, if I would had never gone to prison, if I stayed on my best behavior at all times and never made hot music, you wouldn't give a damn about me, no way. The process of entertaining and creating the most compelling material, that's what I owe to the public. To my family — completely different."
The family man insists he is open and honest with his six children — they range in age from 3 to 15 years old — about his incarceration and troubled past. "My kids, they know I get in trouble. They've seen it all, from guns to drugs," Tip admits before quickly backtracking to clarify.
"I mean they haven't seen drugs, but they've heard from the other kids in school about the lifestyle I used to live and we have very candid conversations. Not only from me, but from their mothers. Tameka tells them how it was before they were born. And the children that I had before I met Tameka, their mothers tell them stories of how it was before. Hearing those stories and seeing where I am today, they see that growth, they see that evolution." His supportive wife Tiny wrapped her arm around her man and chimed in, "They just want their daddy. They don't care what's going on."
But in the premiere episode of their new family show, the supportive wife says she won't tolerate any more screw-ups from her husband, who was behind bars for three years of their 10-year relationship. "It was just to let him know that he has a lot at home, to be at home for, and to make sure that he stays on track, which he will!" Tiny shares. "I would never leave him," the self proclaimed "ride-or-die chick" asserted. The couple agrees that despite all of Tip's ups and downs and time away, their relationship hasn't changed a bit. "It's just catching up," Tiny said.
T.I. is busy balancing family life with his hectic career, currently working on 'Trouble Man,' his eighth studio album, named after the 1972 Marvin Gaye hit. "The album is called 'Trouble Man,' and every song on there is about something that can get me in trouble — guns, drugs — things that I am not currently involved in," he explains. As T.I. raps about subjects from what he now identifies as his past life, the reality show will serve as a "documentation" of his new life.
"If it takes you years to make a masterpiece, at the end of the day, as long as you have a masterpiece do you care how long it took you to make it?" T.I. asked, describing himself as a work-in-progress.
'T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle' debuts Dec. 5 at 9PM ET on VH1.

Special report: One year to go - The race is on for Norfolk and Suffolk's marginal seats
PUBLISHED: 09:14 07 May 2014 | UPDATED: 09:14 07 May 2014
This region will be key to the fight for the keys to Number 10 and this time next year the national spotlight will firmly be on the East, Political editor Annabelle Dickson looks at what to expect and assesses the race for power in the marginals as the candidates and incumbents edge nearer to the finish line.
Norwich North
The fight for Norwich North is between two feisty females who have been working hard on the campaign trail long before the final furlong.
Both Tory MP Chloe Smith and Labour's Jessica Asato, who is trying to unseat her, believe their national parties are winning the argument.
But on the ground the campaigning for local causes has hit fever pitch.
Ms Smith, who won the seat in a by-election after long serving Labour MP Ian Gibson stepped down over the expenses scandal, and then again in 2010, said she believed voters were appreciating her results in campaigns such as Norwich for Jobs and Norwich in 90 rail campaign.
But Ms Asato, who was selected to fight the seat in September 2012, has been vocal in her own campaigns on issues such as the closure of the fire station and the living wage,.
She said they were issues resonating with voters.
"It is not that easy. You don't have the elected authority.
"But the way we have seen the campaigning is to try and articulate what ordinary people, who are looking for an alternative to the coalition, are saying to us. That has been my ambition."
Ms Asato admits it is going to be a "tough contest", but said she was encouraged by local election results which if reflected in a national election poll would put her ahead of the Tory with a small majority.
When is the big day?
The fixed term parliament has made it an unusual campaign, with MPs and candidates knowing that the election date will be May 7 next year in advance.
The have been no candidates on tenterhooks waiting for David Cameron to call a surprise election.
Great Yarmouth
UKIP's own polling has put Great Yarmouth as one of its top chances for a seat in Westminster in 2015.
It's candidate Matthew Smith was selected by the anti-EU party to stand in the seaside town early on.
He is currently facing charges of electoral malpractice.
The party however remains upbeat – the party's East of England spokesman Stuart Gulleford claims its prospects for the 2015 General Election have never been brighter, with interest in the party at fever pitch.
"The opinion polls continue to run in our favour and point towards a spectacular result in the European and local elections. We can build upon this excellent platform in 2015 with interest in seats in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, where we are particularly strong," he said.
Labour's candidate Lara Norris said she believed UKIP's success was down to the "anti politics thing". "Politics has become a bit of a dirty word," she said.
The candidate said that she wanted people to judge her by her actions rather than her words, and was working hard to organise community events on the ground. "It is about starting to put the foundations down to have something a bit better and a bit more long term than what you might have had if you only fought the campaign in the last few months before an election," she said.
But the bookies still favour Conservative MP Brandon Lewis to hold the seat.
Ms Norris said: "I meet a few and they tend to be the real dyed in the wool, we have always voted Tory and we always will. But people will always and have always voted Conservative.
"They are voting Conservative and not for Brandon Lewis."
But Brandon Lewis said he believed that measures such as the enterprise zone in Great Yarmouth and
investment in flood defences would work in his favour.
Who looks likely to be prime minister?
The polls put Ed Miliband ahead, but much can change in the course of the year and his lead is not big.
What are the big events in the next year?
There is still a Queen's Speech. The Scottish referendum will dominate September.
If the Scottish vote 'Yes' for independence it could be a major blow for prime minister David Cameron.
There is also a mini budget in the autumn and a main budget next March to come. Expect some big giveaways. Watch out particularly for news on the A47 in the Autumn Statement.
Over the border in Suffolk Labour's Bob Blizzard is on a mission to win back his Waveney seat and he claims to be winning support from Tories and Lib Dems and even non-voters in his fight.
The former MP, who was defeated in 2010 by Tory Peter Aldous, said he felt the response on the doorstep was much stronger than it had been in 2010.
The former Waveney district councillor has been vocal on local issues such as his opposition to the closure of Blundeston Prison, but also believes that wider issues are bringing voters back to Labour.
He said that particularly in areas of social housing he was winning support from people who had not voted in the last election who, he said, were "really feeling under the cosh".
Sitting MP Peter Aldous, who is hovering on a wafer thin majority, said he was not taking anything for granted in his fight to hold the Suffolk marginal.
"We are pointing in the right direction, but I do not underestimate the scale of the challenge," he said.
"I feel that we are getting a fair hearing, but I do not take anything for granted and we still have a lot of work to do to get the message across and for me to take things back to government and the Conservative Party."
He said the main issues on the doorstep were the economy, jobs and the transport system.
But said that he was being careful not to over promise.
"I fully understand that a lot of people been here before and there had been a lot of promises made over the years."
Will there be television debates again?
It looks like there will be, but exactly who will be involved is still up in the air.
The Conservatives have said that "all options" are on the table. It is suggested that there could be three different debates. One for a "choice of prime minister" – between David Cameron and Ed Miliband.
A second adding Nick Clegg to the line-up and a five-way debate also including UKIP's Mr Farage and Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party.
Will there be any surprises?
As with any election campaign, expect gaffes and shocks.
No doubt politicians will be extra careful with their microphones after former prime minister Gordon Brown was left red-faced after being heckled about his views on immigration, calling the woman who had spoken to him "just a sort of bigoted woman."
How will UKIP and the Greens do?
The two fringe parties are expected to do well in the European and local elections next month, but past elections have shown that in a general election support is not so strong. Could this year be different?

I have known PG playing a lot better as of late. He seems more assertive and non-passive. Could this mean that PG is playing better with Granger out of the lineup? After watching last nights game, PG seemed to be playing well after starting off really poorly. Hes scoring, passing and rebounding the ball well.
What could this mean for Granger? What are the chances of both swingmen playing well together? This reminds me of the situation that Vince Carter and Tracey McGrady had in Toronto.

Budweiser ShareLunker: Lake Casa Blanca Fish Repeats
ATHENS, Texas — A Lake Casa Blanca largemouth bass has made its second trip to Athens as a Budweiser ShareLunker.
Cesar Gomez of Laredo caught the 13.33-pound bass April 1. When Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel wanded the fish to see if it contained a passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag, the display lit up. All ShareLunkers are tagged, and a check of the number revealed this fish had been caught February 14, 2006, by Abilene angler Jay Stevens. At that time the fish became Budweiser ShareLunker 397.
Returned to the lake and caught again, the fish is now also ShareLunker 451.
Gomez was fishing in four feet of water with a Senko plastic worm.
The fish has grown since it was caught in 2006. At that time it was 26 inches long, 20 inches in girth, and weighed 13.2 pounds. The fish is now 28.25 inches long and 21.5 inches in girth.
Only two ShareLunkers have been longer than Gomez's fish, one from Lake Fork and one from Lake Amistad. One of those fish weighed 14.5 pounds, the other 15.68.
Apparently the fish is fond of shallow water and special days. In 2006 it was caught in less than three feet of water on Valentine's Day. This time it chose to bite on April Fools' Day. That fact caused TPWD employees to be suspicious at first, especially since Budweiser ShareLunker program manager David Campbell did get a prank call about a 14-pound fish from another lake. However, this lunker was for real.
Lake Casa Blanca has now produced five ShareLunkers. The 1,680-acre lake on the outskirts of Laredo was stocked with northern largemouth bass in 1966 and Florida largemouth bass since 1978.
The lake record is Budweiser ShareLunker 355, a 14.64-pounder caught January 31, 2004, by Richard Mims of Laredo. Mims pulled off a rare feat that year, catching two ShareLunkers in three days-both from Lake Casa Blanca.
The Budweiser ShareLunker program is made possible through support from Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Since 1991, Anheuser-Busch, in partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, has contributed millions of dollars in funding to support conservation causes and fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation programs in Texas.

HAMPSHIRE Constabulary has officially welcomed its first 74 teenage volunteer police cadets.
The cadets have had a ten-week induction programme, learning team working and leadership skills, meeting various departments within the police and gaining a first aid qualification.
The scheme for young people aged between 13 and 18 is aimed at giving youngsters a practical understanding of the police and to encourage the spirit of adventure and good citizenship.
The cadets have committed to volunteering with local policing and community initiatives, starting with a policing operation in Southampton later this month. They will then be helping at New Forest Show, and taking part in the first Hampshire Constabulary annual camp in August.
Owing to the success of the first two pilot units in Southampton, the force is looking to introduce a further seven schemes around the force area in September, which should see a further 250 volunteer police cadets joining the constabulary.
Force cadet leader PC Steve Swift said: "This is a fantastic scheme aimed at improving the future potential of young people as well as providing the constabulary with an excellent form of positive engagement with young people and the community.
"However, this is a completely voluntary scheme which relies on kind and generous donations from individuals and organisations."
Anyone who would like to contribute can contact PC Swift at email@example.com.
Anyone who would like to join as either a leader or cadet can go to www.hampshire.police.uk and click on Join the Team, Current Vacancies, then Police Support Volunteers.
