Tribe confident in closer Axford to come out strong
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The way Indians manager Terry Francona sees it, gauging the readiness of a closer for the season based on his Spring Training is a near impossible task.
"You can send him out late in a game and make him face a team from Chattanooga, which doesn't really help," Francona said. "Or you can bring him in in the fourth inning against better hitters, but it's still the fourth inning. A lot of those guys pitch on adrenaline, so you do the best you can."
Although there's no real way to simulate a high-leverage end-of-game situation because of the often mechanical nature of Cactus League play, Francona is confident new Indians closer John Axford is more than prepared to handle ninth-inning duties come Opening Day on Monday.
"Oh yeah he is," Francona said. "When the bell rings, and hopefully we'll have a lot of opportunities, he's going to pitch well. We're looking forward to getting him on a roll."
Signed by the Indians in December following a stellar run with the Cardinals over the final month of the season and into the playoffs, Axford appeared in seven Cactus League games this spring, accumulating a 1.29 ERA over seven innings while striking out eight batters.
The Indians blew 22 saves last year, eighth most in baseball, so the club is relying on Axford to be a dependable asset at the back end of the bullpen.

We've all been there. I'm talking about the last slice standoff. How do you decide who gets it fair and square? Pizza Hut is here to solve the dilemma with this handy dandy flowchart. It's pretty solid, except for the velociraptor leg of the flowchart journey. If you answer "no" to are you near a velociraptor, you get the last slice—so that's gonna be pretty much everyone. Otherwise there are great social cues to determine if you get to snag the last piece of the pie depending on whether you're on a date, in school, or at work. So get ready to weave your way to a "Back off buddy" or "Chomp away!"

angry little ranty bits? really? i'm a professional writer (yah, i get paid for it, holy shit!) and if i was gonna rant and/or get angry, trust me, the expression of anger would be palpable and the rant would tear a hole in your psyche.
but since everyone responded with what they think are peppy little zingers, i've got no need to argue. everyone made it about a question of belief, and ever since the enlightenment we've all known you can't argue about beliefs.
the purpose of this thread was to ask a question, to which no one but you has been interested in even responding with any intelligence, and that wasn't even close to being a response to the original question. so don't mistake my indifference to the fact that no one here seems to believe in these items efficacy with anger: i just don't feel the need to attempt to convert.
i have no problem boasting though. shit, i threw an ace today. 6th of the year. ya'll?

Soapdom has learned that production company, Prospect Park, inked a deal today with the Writers Guild (WGA) for scribes to begin working on the resurected All My Children and One Life to Live to air on The Online Network. This is great news not only for the two soap operas which will be the anchor shows for this new online programming platform, but for any other shows that the network develops down the line.
Deals with the Director's Guild (DGA) and the Screen Actors Guild/Amerian Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG/AFTRA) were completed in December.
We have not heard if deals with the IATSE Labor union have been sealed, or if the production company is planning on a union crew.
In a statement released earlier this week, Prospect Park co-founders Rich Frank and Jeff Kwatinetz announced they brought on Jenniffer Pepperman to executive produce One Life to Live; Ginger Smith as EP of All My Children, and Foz McDermott is heading production for The Online Network. Agnes Nixon, creator of both soaps has been tapped to consult. They also confirmed they had secured the necessary financing and distribution, which we hear will be in conjunction with the Hulu platform.
Stars of both shows are being approached and deals are being extended. Production is expected to begin in February. The shows could be back on the air as early as mid March.

Fast Casual Restaurant Trend Alert: Potatoes
We like to keep an eye on trends in the fast casual segment here at ShortOrder, and recently we spotted one that's particularly a-peel-ing. Apparently potatoes are what's hot—so to speak—in fryers across the nation. Because the potato is a versatile vegetable (boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew), there are many possibilities when it comes to catering to customers in need of a creative spud.
The potato trend is actually one that's resurfacing. It was a big deal back in about 2008, when it seemed that every oven in a quick service restaurant was making room for potatoes and sweet potatoes. Now, a recent twist has found a place in the fast casual industry, and a few places, like Potatopia, have even made the potato the star of a single-item menu. Not unlike the fast casual personal pizza trend, the potato trend focus seems to be mostly on variety, customization, and toppings.
So how can you hop on the potato trend bandwagon?
Start by exploring all your potato possibilities. First, the things you can do to the actual potato: bake, boil, mash, twice-bake, thrice-bake, pancake, smash, sauté, fry, pie, and chip are just a few that come to mind. When you're equipped with the right restaurant equipment, there is no limit to the number of ways you can cook a potato.
Next, the art of dressing the potato. Old standbys like cheese, sour cream, and butter are, of course, a good idea, but you can easily branch out to let customers personalize their potatoes with sauces, meats, vegetables, and more.
Then make sure you've got the right equipment. The kitchen at Potatopia, for example, houses a double-decker convection oven, fryers, and a hybrid convection-microwave oven. Gather up a variety of restaurant equipment, and make sure you get high-quality equipment like Gen2 fryers. If your menu is based around a single item, you don't want your main ingredient to be a lackluster part of the dish.
Has your fast casual eatery capitalized on the potato trend? What kinds of restaurant equipment and fryers have you used? Let us know by connecting with ShortOrder on Twitter and Facebook!

Importers of Mexican berries report strong demand for larger volumes of fruit.
Delano, Calif.-based Pandol Associates Marketing is importing blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries from Mexico for the first time this season, said Jim Pandol, the company's president.
"The seasonality of it works well with the other crops we have," said Pandol. "It's a good, logical place for us to expand."
Most of Pandol Associates' berries come from Jalisco, in fields near where the company sources grapes, its top commodity, Pandol said.
Because of its proximity to the U.S., Mexico is a nice berry alternative to Chile, Pandol said.
"Especially with blackberries and raspberries, you need to get it here quickly."
If the product's coming from Chile, that often means flying it up, which not only is expensive but can be unreliable, Pandol said.
Another plus is a significant boost in the quality of Mexican berries in recent years, Pandol said.
Chicago-based Sun Belle Inc. is importing blackberries and raspberries from Mexico this season, said Janice Honigberg, the company's president.
Because blackberry shipments began in the second half of September, Sun Belle has seen volumes increase every week, with two exceptions due to rain, Honigberg said.
"Quality and demand is good at the moment, with a lot of activity in December," Honigberg said.
Sun Belle imports the Tupy variety of blackberry from Mexico. Volumes are up over last season, Honigberg said, and shipments are expected to continue into early June.
On Dec. 4, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $7-8 for flats of 12 6-ounce cups of Mexican blackberries, up from $6-7 last year at the same time.
Sun Belle's raspberry volumes from Mexico, meanwhile, are expected to be four times bigger than last season, Honigberg said. The deal began in late September and is expected to wind down in early June.
Sun Belle imports Erika raspberries, for which it has the exclusive growing rights in the Americas, Honigberg said. The Erika is known for its large size and flavor, she said.
"Demand is excellent."
On Dec. 4, the USDA reported prices of $18-20 for flats of 12 6-ounce cups of Mexican raspberries, up from $14-16 last year.
Pandol Associates' 2012-13 Mexican berry program is tilted heavily toward blackberries, with much smaller volumes of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, Pandol said.
The company began sourcing blackberries in early November, and expects to ship them through March, he said.
Pandol reported good quality and decent demand for Mexican blackberries the week of Dec. 3.

The news flash Sunday morning fell somewhere between fantasy and fact, plausible and preposterous, whimsical and wanton.
That it was remotely believable says something about the Chargers' current state and also what we've come to believe about the men trying to put the team back together again.
The story went like this: new Chargers Head Coach Mike McCoy and General Manager Tom Telesco ran into LaDainian Tomlinson at a restaurant two months ago and asked him to return to the team. Yes, according to a respected Yahoo! columnist, MM and TT wanted LT to be a running back again -- after a year away from the game and just shy of 34 years old.
Tomlinson was quoted as saying he thought at first it was a joke but that the Chargers bosses convinced him they were sincere in their desire for him to touch the ball a dozen or so times per game.
He declined, he said, because he is committed to retirement.
After talking on Sunday to some folks at Chargers Park, who declined to comment publicly out of respect for the man they hope will be a symbolic part of their organization going forward, I am inclined to believe the conversation during the NFL Combine was McCoy and Telesco paying homage to a legend.
Tomlinson looks like he can still play, and McCoy and Telesco told him so. It seems it all went down exactly as LT said it did, but perhaps without the sincere intent of the greatest Charger ever once again wearing the uniform.
In a way, that's a shame.
We must trust our eyes and acknowledge Tomlinson can't run at anywhere near the level he did when he was the NFL's most dangerous player for the better part of a decade. But I was willing to believe that McCoy and Telesco thought he could help the Chargers in a small but significant way.
I dig that after practically being able to predict A.J. Smith's every caustic grunt, I could for even a couple hours think that the two wunderkinds running things now might have decided to go way off the reservation in an attempt to win.
I hope it's not the last time we think they shocked us.
But that's not the great takeaway from this episode.
Moreover, our we must confront an underlying point.
From the start on Sunday – even as I was incredulous, partially horrified and somewhat impressed -- this was not so much about what the Chargers might have added. It was more about what they don't have.
We didn't need a courtship of LT to tell us the Chargers don't have faith in Ryan Mathews – that he can stay healthy, sure, but even more so that he can do his part to protect Philip Rivers. Bringing back Ronnie Brown and bringing in Danny Woodhead told us all we needed to know there.
Don't spend more than a minute thinking about whether LT could still play.
This is about so much more than how much he was going to be on the field, whether he would get five, six or 10 carries a game. It's about more than if he was interested or could be a mentor to Mathews.
The fact it intrigued us so much shows our desperation, not to mention our exasperation.
So much that LT had -- vision, confidence, elusiveness, acumen -- Mathews does not.
That's an unfair comparison. But life isn't fair, especially when you were the 12th overall pick, are being paid millions of dollars and are following a legend.
Mathews has been nothing but earnest since he arrived here in 2010. He is also honest. He knows what he hasn't been and has rarely shied from explaining how that weighs on him.
One day soon, either because he finally stays on the field, picks up some blocks and breaks some long runs or because he'll be gone, he won't need to worry about it.
And maybe one day, we'll stop pining for LT.

ROYAL Wootton Bassett provided a welcome break for Esmor Davies who stopped off in the town as part of his John O'Groats to Land's End journey.
The 68-year-old Welshman set off on the gruelling 2,500 mile journey in a JCB digger last month to raise money to build a sensory garden for blind war veterans.
His overnight stay in the town brought back fond memories for the fundraiser, who spoke warmly of the hospitality he had received.
He said: "I stayed overnight at the Marsh Farm Hotel.
"It's the third time I've stayed there and they are just such warm and friendly and hospitable people.
"It really was a big help for us to be able to stay overnight in a hotel and I just want to say a big thank you to them for all their support."
Esmor and his team arrived in Wootton Basett on the evening of August 19, and spent the morning in the High Street before resuming their journey at 11am on August 20.
He said: "I had to take a massive detour to come to Wootton Bassett but it was somewhere I really wanted to come back to.
"I have sung in the church here on a number of occasions for charity and they have always been such warm, friendly and generous people.
"They also have so much respect for war veterans and were inspiring when the repatriations came through the town."
Despite already raising £12,000 in funds during his journey, Esmor is still some way off his £500,000 target.
He said: "I would've expected to have raised more by now but as I keep saying, every little helps.
"A couple of people who have sight problems have come up to me and said the main thing is that they're being thought about."
Esmor said he had decided to take on the "Esmor JCB John O'Groats to Land's End Marathon" after being inspired after a visit to the Blind War Veterans centre at Llandudno.
The builder has been joined by a team of volunteers on the trip including his daughter Christine, and hopes to complete the journey by September 2.

In the middle of the session Thursday, sentiment had gotten rather extreme, with the put-call ratio sinking into the 60% level -- an area not seen since late November, just before the market headed south again. But there is nothing like a midday decline from the highs to get folks to pull in their horns, and by the end of the day the put-call ratio was at a much more neutral reading of 84%.
I still expect the 30-day moving average of the equity put-call ratio to turn up sometime in the next week or so, but it has not yet done so.
Away from that, I was asked to follow up on a couple of patterns I wrote about last month. At the time I pointed out two head-and-shoulders patterns -- a smaller bottom formation in the S&P 500, and a larger top in the Nasdaq chart. In a different piece (scroll down for my contribution), I said the right shoulder for the Nasdaq top would come in somewhere in the 3100. That is essentially where the index currently is, as it closed Thursday at 3100 on the nose.
The pattern is still present, but another reader said they saw an island left behind when the Nasdaq gapped up Jan. 2. I suppose that is an island, but what caught my eye was how similar the gap-up looked -- in mirror-image form -- to the gap-down in April. In both cases, after those big moves, the market just sat there in the following session.
With the employment number due out Friday morning, in my view it's a coin toss as to whether the indices will gap up or down -- or do nothing. But if it is a gap down, that would be a pretty amazing mirror image, wouldn't it? The move may not be steep enough to be seen on the chart, but it certainly would make for an interesting development.
Elsewhere, the move in gold found my inbox full of questions. When we last checked in here, I had a downside target of around $1,625 per ounce. While I was on break two weeks ago, gold traded down to $1,638, so it certainly got into the neighborhood of that target. I'd love to see a quick trip down that undercuts the lows of two weeks ago, followed by a sharp rebound. I don't know if we'll get it, but the hate for gold is on the rise and the love for it has surely waned.
Then there are interest rates on Treasuries. At this point, the yield on the 10-year note is right back to the top of the range. This time the pattern is a bit different, as it is actually a rectangle. If it truly breaks out, I will not fight it -- but my guess is it will try to to get through and will proceed to come right back into the trading range it had been in. If I am wrong and it does break out, the measured target will be between 2.10% and 2.20%.
The one thing we've got to admit is that the major averages are all at rather interesting levels, just in time for the arrival of the employment report.

Described as "a Jewish Nobel Prize," a new international award has been established that will be given to Jews who gain global recognition for their exceptional achievements in the arts and sciences, the sponsoring agency of the prize announced last week.
The Genesis Prize is being financed by the Genesis Philanthropy Group, which also funds the Taglit-Birthright Israel program and other initiatives in support of Jewish identity worldwide. Genesis founder Mikhail Fridman announced the prize last week in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky.
Netanyahu will award the first prize at an annual ceremony close to Passover. "The prize symbolizes Jews' great contribution in human development and will be a source of pride for young Jews around the world," he said. Sharansky is to head the prize selection committee, which will consist of retired judges, community leaders from the Diaspora, and representatives from the Prime Minister's Office and the Genesis Philanthropy Group.
"The Genesis Prize emphasizes the contribution of the Jews to world history," Fridman said, adding that it reflects "the Jewish People's natural aspiration to improve the world and to its desire to pass its moral values on to coming generations."

John Hirsch Subject of Play: Hirsch, a new one-man show about the life of Canadian theatre legend and former Stratford Festival artistic director John Hirsch, is now in previews and opens July 12 at Stratford's Studio Theatre.
The play was conceived of by actor Alon Nashman, who performs it under the direction of Paul Thompson. It presents Hirsch as a trailblazing artist and unique personality whose mark on the world of Canadian theatre endures to this day. Hirsch was also the subject of the recent book A Fiery Soul: The Life and Theatrical Times of John Hirsch, by Fraidie Martz and Andrew Wilson, which won a 2011 Canadian Jewish Book Award.
The Hungarian-born Hirsch arrived as a Holocaust refugee in Winnipeg in 1947 and subsequently went on to found the Manitoba Theatre Centre. He became head of drama at CBC and served stints as both associate director and artistic director at Stratford. The play chronicles his life from his childhood in prewar Hungary to his premature death in 1989. www.stratfordshakespearefestival.com

Mini Theatre Review: In the summer of 1936, playwrights Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman bashed out a new play, You Can't Take It With You, in less than a month. Focusing on the eccentric but blissfully happy Sycamore family, the play's point, as Kaufman once commented, was simply "that the way to live and be happy is just to go ahead and live, and not pay attention to the world." The play enjoyed a long and successful run, and won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Soulpepper's impressive recent production of You Can't Take It With You seemed to reproduce this pleasing period piece in its true comic spirit, with little of the ominous big-business-is-evil overtones that crept into Frank Capra's 1938 film (starring James Stewart, Jean Arthur and Lionel Barrymore). Many critics contend that You Can't Take It With You, which was Moss and Kaufman's third and most effortless collaboration, set the tone for modern American comedy and even television sitcoms, with its quick one-liners and set-up situations rooted in character and real feelings.
Soulpepper presents four more outstanding classics in its summer season: David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys, Mikhail Bulgakov's The Royal Comedians (Molière), and Arthur Miller's The Crucible. www.soulpepper.ca

By this time next year, Quebec researchers may experiment with crops such as okra, yard-long beans and Indian squashes to help meet the growing demand for specialty food in Montreal and across the province.
The St. Leonard-based Quebec Produce Growers Association has commissioned a study to identify specialty produce that may grow well in Quebec. The results were expected to be presented to the QPGA on Nov. 22, general manager Andre Plante said.
"It's not easy growing new products in our cold climate," Plante said. "Once we identify priority items, we'll give the study results to researchers and ask them to help us develop these varieties in Quebec."
Growing for ethnic markets
As immigrants continue to arrive in Quebec, the list of products they request from home grows longer, said George Pitsikoulis, president of Montreal wholesaler Canadawide.
"Within the ethnic realm, that's where we've noticed the biggest growth," Pitsikoulis said.
Agronomist Julie Nichols and her network of eight local growers understand well the challenges of growing Asian produce in Quebec.
The heat and drought made it a tough summer," said Nichols, president of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec-based Organzo, which sells 70% of its cabbages, bok choy and radishes to the U.S. and the remainder to Quebec and Ontario.
"Our cruciferous vegetables don't like the heat, so the yield was poor, and we had to work long hours and irrigate late at night. It was stressful," Nichols said.
While Organzo specializes in Asian vegetables for Chinese and Korean markets, Nichols said there's plenty of room for other specialty crops in Quebec.
"I don't know one Quebec grower who's growing Indian vegetables to supply that demand, and what about African vegetables and Latino produce?" she asked.
To meet the existing demand for new produce, a number of importers, including Montreal-based CDS Brokers, are breaking into the specialty market.
For the past 18 months, CDS has received weekly containers of Asian fruit and South American vegetables such as chayotes, yucca, eddoes and different varieties of sweet potatoes.
"The demand for tropical and exotic products grows daily and has surpassed our expectations," said president Cesare Della Santina, who also specializes in garlic, ginger and shallots.
Pink dragonfruit is a perfect example, Della Santina said. Unknown several years ago, it's now one of the most sought-after fruits within the Asian community and the general population, he said.
"People are interested in trying new products and expanding their palates, and in return we have new products on our plates and on the store shelves," he said.

After passing tests, Carpenter back in lineup
ST. LOUIS -- Matt Carpenter left Busch Stadium on Saturday unconcerned that the side tightness that prompted his exit in the ninth inning would affect his ability to play in the series finale. A day later, he passed the requisite tests to prove it.
Carpenter received treatment and then clearance on Sunday to return to the Cardinals' lineup, where he continues to fit as the team's leadoff hitter. He entered the day leading the league in runs scored with 21.
"I felt good, so I'm back in there," Carpenter said. "Obviously, I felt something [on Saturday], and it was an awkward swing. I was stretching the rest of the game, but I didn't think it was anything serious. I felt pretty good about it."
Carpenter first felt the tweak during a swing he took in his seventh-inning at-bat on Saturday. It was after manager Mike Matheny then noticed Carpenter trying to stretch his side in the field and while on the on-deck circle in the ninth that he summoned the infielder over to ask if something was wrong.
With only a few seconds to decide whether to let Carpenter hit, Matheny opted to call him back to the dugout.
"I can't risk losing a guy for two weeks if there's the chance we can pull him out for one at-bat," Matheny said. "It hurt him yesterday more than anything that he felt like he let his teammates down and couldn't answer the bell late in the game. And I know that about him. We need him to let us in on what's going on. We'll try to do the right thing, but it's a trust that has to be built up between us."

Aaron Sandusky has had a rough week.
Sandusky, 41, has been trying to keep his medical marijuana dispensaries open in Upland, Moreno Valley and Colton.
On Tuesday, raids were conducted on the three dispensaries as well as his Rancho Cucamonga home and the Rialto home of his partner John Nuckolls.
On Wednesday, Sandusky, the president of G3 Holistic Inc., was involved in a 4th District Court of Appeal case in Riverside that could determine if Upland can legally ban his marijuana dispensary and ultimately set a precedent in the state for how cities and counties regulate marijuana dispensaries.
"I'm in a pickle," said Sandusky, a former real estate agent, on Friday.
Once in real estate
Sandusky said his father died of brain cancer when he was 8 years old and was raised by a single mother.
He attended Gladstone High School in Covina but he dropped out and did not graduate.
Sandusky, who is single with no children, said he later got his real estate license and eventually worked in Rancho Cucamonga for now-Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga.
In 2008, Sandusky's life started to change when the booming real estate market went bust.
Soon thereafter, he received a recommendation for a medical marijuana card to fight gout when other medications didn't work as well.
Sandusky decided to try his business hand at operating a medical marijuana dispensary after finding other facilities were not up to his standards.
"We put in our money to get started and got additional support from other members," he said.
"It's expensive to operate. Imagine talking to a landlord and saying you are a medical marijuana cooperative. In some cases, they try to double the rent because of the (negative) exposure to them."
At Sandusky's Ontario warehouse where the marijuana was grown, the electricity bill was $20,000 a month and workers would spent up to 13 hours a day to maintain the product.
"We have a lot of patients to provide for," Sandusky said.
Sandusky estimated he made a salary of about $85,000 last year from running G3. His organization had 50 employees who no longer have employment or health insurance since the raids.
G3 Collective opened at Suite F4 at 1710 W. Foothill Blvd. in Upland in 2009 and closed in August 2010 after the city filed an injunction in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.
During the closure, G3 opened another facility in Moreno Valley at 12276 Perris Blvd., Suite B. The landlord was the same as the Upland facility.
In 2011, G3 opened a facility at 1231 E. Washington St., Suite D in Colton.
Sandusky filed a stay against the Upland injunction and is appealing the city's prohibitions of medical marijuana dispensaries in the court in Riverside.
A stay was granted on June 20, allowing the cooperative to operate until Sandusky's appeal on Wednesday was heard. A decision is expected with 90 days.
Handcuffs at warehouse
When the raids took place Tuesday, Sandusky said he was in the Ontario warehouse and was handcuffed with a gun put to his head.
"I was surprised the day before my appeal court case, I was raided," Sandusky said. "I'm thinking it was more than just a coincidence."
The warrant said between January and August, the total deposits to G3 accounts were more than $3.3 million while total debits were more than $3.2 million.
"I believe that the movement of funds by Aaron Sandusky – particularly the rough equality of the debits and credits – is intended to maintain the facade of G3 Holistic as a non-profit organization," according to the search warrants from Patrick Kelly, special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
In the affidavit, undercover deputies who had no health problems and carried phony recommendations purchased marijuana from each collective, according to the affidavit.
Sandusky disputes the charge that he is not a nonprofit organization.
He is also upset over the issue of undercover officers buying marijuana at his dispensaries.
Sandusky said he doesn't know how his organization can be expected to check the health of medical marijuana patients when a doctor had given them a valid medical marijuana card.
Sandusky also wondered how the federal government can raid his dispensaries when he has a state appeal court ordered stay to be open.
"Marijuana is illegal under federal law, which specifically prohibits the possession, transportation and cultivation of the drug," said Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles in an e-mailed response.
Sandusky also said the city of Upland had helped push federal agents to raid his dispensary.
Upland City Attorney William Curley said in an e-mail that the City Council had previously sent a letter to Andre Birotte, the U.S. attorney in charge of the Central District of California, asking for help to respond to the growing number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the city.
"The City Council, in its request, did not target any single dispensary or person, but instead asked for any available assistance to address the several dispensaries in the city," Curley wrote.
Curley added the four U.S. attorneys representing the four California districts had determined on their own the Department of Justice should get involved before an Oct. 7 news conference in Sacramento where medical marijuana dispensary crackdowns were announced.
At Sandusky's raided Upland dispensary on Friday, a sign on the door said closed and the power was shut off. A "bud bar" where customers were given their medical marijuana was empty, but still had a strong, lingering smell of pot.
Sandusky said he did not know what his next steps would be or if he could reopen.
"I need help from our members," Sandusky said. "I hope people don't stand for this."

- SPI futures jumped 11 points to 4527
Oil capped its first monthly increase since August on signals that economic expansion in the US is accelerating.
Futures rose 1 per cent after the MNI Chicago Report's business barometer showed activity in the US grew in November for the first time in three months. Investors also weighed developments in US budget talks as Democrats and Republicans discussed how to avoid more than $US600 billion a year in spending cuts and tax increases known as the fiscal cliff.
"The Chicago numbers were a little better than expected," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. "It's likely that we will end the year above $US90 a barrel because of tightening inventories and the likelihood that there will be a budget agreement."
Crude oil for January delivery advanced 84 cents to $US88.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement since Nov. 19. Futures increased 0.7 per cent this week and gained 3.1 per cent this month. Prices are down 10 per cent this year.
Brent oil for January settlement rose 47 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to $US111.23 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
The MNI Chicago Report's business barometer rose to 50.4 in November from 49.9 the prior month. A reading of 50 is the dividing line between expansion and contraction.
West Texas Intermediate crude in New York advanced yesterday after revised figures from the Commerce Department showed US gross domestic product grew at a 2.7 per cent annual rate last quarter, up from a 2 per cent prior estimate.
Republican rejection
Congressional Republicans rejected President Barack Obama's tax-and-spending proposal. The plan calls for $US1.6 trillion in tax increases and $US400 billion in unspecified cuts. Republicans complained that Obama's offer was little more than a rehash of old budget proposals, setting the stage for more contentious negotiations over the next several weeks.
"We are stalled in this area after reeling on each and every comment about the budget negotiations," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York. "Some of the anxiety that would send the market one way or another has burned off."
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner met separately yesterday with each of the top four leaders in Congress in their first direct talks since Nov. 16, when Obama hosted the leaders at the White House.
'Early bargaining'
"We're still in the early bargaining stage over the budget," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. "There will probably be a lot more whining before there's progress. This should keep the market in a tight range."
Prices also rose after the euro climbed against the dollar for a third day, increasing oil's appeal as an investment alternative. The euro gained as much as 0.4 per cent to $US1.3028.
Oil surged earlier this month amid eight days of fighting between Israel and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, before the two sides signed a Nov. 21 truce agreement. Protests erupted in Egypt after President Mohamed Mursi issued a Nov. 22 decree that prevents his actions from being challenged by the courts.
The US Senate approved expanding the economic sanctions that have reduced Iran's crude exports and earnings in an effort to force it to curb its suspected nuclear weapons program. Senators voted 94-0 today to add the new sanctions to the annual defense authorization bill under consideration on the floor.
Middle East
"Geopolitical issues in the Middle East continue to support the oil market," McGillian said.
The Middle East and North Africa accounted for 36 per cent of global oil output and held 52 per cent of proved reserves last year, according to BP Plc's Statistical Review of World Energy.
OPEC oil production fell the most in 20 months in November, a Bloomberg survey showed. Output in the 12-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries slipped 333,000 barrels, or 1 per cent, to an average 31.519 million barrels a day this month from a revised 31.852 million in October, according to the survey of oil companies, producers and analysts.
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 368,770 contracts as of 3:07 p.m. Volume totaled 532,570 contracts yesterday, 1.4 per cent higher than the three-month average. Open interest was 1.53 million.

Primidone is used alone or with other medications to control certain types of seizures. Primidone is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Primidone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken 3-4 times a day. Take primidone at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take primidone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of primidone and gradually increase your dose, not more often than once every 3 days. If you are taking another medication to treat your seizures and your doctor wants you to begin taking primidone instead, your doctor will gradually decrease your dose of the other medication and increase your dose of primidone over a period of at least 2 weeks.
Primidone may help control your condition but will not cure it. It may take several weeks or longer for you to feel the full benefit of this medication. Continue to take primidone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking primidone without talking to your doctor, even if you experience side effects such as unusual changes in behavior or mood. If you suddenly stop taking primidone, your seizures may become worse. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking primidone,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
Primidone may cause side effects. Call your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience the following symptom, call your doctor immediately:
Primidone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to primidone.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.

Scott Salyer, former owner of SK Foods LP, was sentenced to six years in prison for racketeering and price fixing in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Calif.
Judge Lawrence Karlton passed sentence on the tomato grower and processor Feb. 12. Salyer faced 4-7 years after pleading guilty last March. Since then he has lived under house arrest in Pebble Beach, Calif. — time that will not count against his sentence.
Salyer, 57, is scheduled to begin the sentence April 9, according to U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner. The six years in prison are to be followed by three years of supervised release.
As expected, the judge also ordered Salyer to forfeit $3.45 million he'd deposited in an Andorra bank account.
Federal prosecutors had asked the judge for seven years plus a $1.25 million fine. Over their objections, Karlton declined to impose a fine. Salyer's attorney Elliot Peters has described him as bankrupt. The judge postponed until March 9 a restitution hearing that could define sums beyond those forfeited.
"Mr. Salyer's fall from grace is of ancient Greek tragic proportion," the defense said in a court memo seeking leniency. He was contrite, it claimed, and had suffered from diabetes, glaucoma and alcoholism.
Prosecutors in turn noted Salyer's plea already took the maximum penalties off the table — 20 years for racketeering, 10 for price fixing.
"Greek tragedy is a little too dramatic to characterize what happened here," Wagner told the court a week before sentencing. "He makes too much out of his fall, which was inevitable given the way that he conducted his affairs. Defendant cheated his customers, creditors and ex-wives."
The U.S. attorney disputed defense claims about Salyer's finances and character.
Salyer is claiming he's owed $52 million in the liquidation of Australia-based tomato processor Cedenco. Prosecutors argued the legal action in Australia means he may become able to pay fines in the U.S.
Prosecutors alleged a pattern of deceptive behavior continued while he was in a Sacramento jail for seven months before securing bail. They said Salyer smuggled in pornography and had "lascivious conversations" and unmonitored visits with a woman who's an attorney but does not represent him.
"Salyer is simply the kind of person who seems never able to pass up an opportunity to take an angle through deceit," Wagner said in the court record.
On the character issue, prosecutors also called Salyer an "unbashful bigot" who practiced discrimination at SK Foods. Transcripts of taped conversations include epithets for Jewish and Japanese people. In one transcript, Salyer asks a conspirator if an applicant for chief financial officer could be Jewish – with the intent to drop him if so.
Salyer was chief executive officer of Monterey, Calif.-based SK Foods as well as owner. The company, which declared bankruptcy in 2009 and was later purchased by Olam International, had additional facilities in Lemoore, Williams and Ripon.
In his plea, Salyer admitted to prompting broker Randall Rahal to pay bribes and kickbacks to purchasing officers for Kraft Foods, Frito-Lay, and B&G Foods — all customers of SK Foods — over a four-year period. The intent, according to court documents, was to induce Kraft's Robert Watson, Frito-Lay's Richard Wahl, and B&G's Robert Turner to promote SK Foods' interests over that of their employer.
Lab test results for tomato paste were routinely falsified at Salyer's direction, according to the plea. Former employees Alan Huey and Jennifer Dahlman were ordered to falsify tomato paste grading factors, and SK Foods lied about its product's percentage of natural tomato soluble solids, mold count, production date and status as organic or conventional.
An illegal target price agreement was discussed with other tomato paste sellers. According to the court record, Salyer got a co-conspirator to agree to withdraw a lower offer to a customer.
Federal law enforcement officials dubbed the probe of Salyer and his conspirators Operation Rotten Tomato. The name was later taken up by a pro-Salyer website. Ten other defendants have pleaded guilty in the case. Two were sentenced and the remaining eight are to be sentenced Feb. 26.
"Salyer and his co-conspirators ripped off consumers and reaped big profits by manipulating prices on millions of pounds of processed tomatoes," Jose Martinez, special agent in charge of the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation arm, said in a news release.
According to court documents, in 2009 Salyer moved more than $3 million to Andorra and made a $50,000 deposit on a condominium there. Andorra, a principality between France and Spain, has no extradition treaty with the U.S. Salyer was arrested in February 2010 upon arrival in New York on a flight from London.

A PAEDOPHILE who preyed on girls in a park has been sent to jail.
Benjamin Brine, 21, had been charged with eight counts of engaging in sexual activity with children aged 12, 13 and 15.
The defendant, of Princess Street, Blackburn, was told at Preston Crown Court yesterday that he must now serve four years and six months behind bars.
Speaking after the sentence, Det Insp Claire McEnery, from the public protection unit, said: "Brine was a predatory individual who targeted young females who were vulnerable to his advances because of the age difference.
"The police were relentless in his pursuit and I hope that the outcome sends a strong message to other adults who prey on children."
Prosecuting at the earlier hearing, Adam Lodge said: "Mr Brine was deliberately preying on young girls in the park, a sexual predator in the community.
"One of his victims also began to self harm when she found out he had been involved with other young girls."
James Heywoth, for Brine, had told the court that the defendant, who had no previous convictions, had had time to reflect on his behaviour while remanded into custody.
He said: "Benjamin is not a predatory paedophile, he was in a relationship with one of the girls and said he loved her. He now realises that he should have been the person to say no.
"At the time he was 18 and 19, and he now has great regret to his behaviour and has had time to reflect whilst in custody.
"This young man found himself hanging around with young people and will now have to bear the consequences.
"He has done everything he can do to recognise what he has done wrong."

Study AOP 03-007 was designed as a pivotal study to test, if Anagrelide (Thromboreductin®)was not inferior to HU with respect to efficacy in patients with ET. This approach to demonstrate non-inferiority was based on the following decision points:
• ET is a rare disease and recruitment of large patient number (> 1600) to prove superiority was not considered possible.
. It was decided to recruit only treatment naïve high risk patients to avoid pre-treatment bias, which further limited the number of patients eligible for the study.
