Phone Calls Becoming More Important than Clicks in PPC Marketing
In a recent article in the Inside Adwords Blog, entitled "Charge up your phones with call-only campaigns" Google rolled out "Call-Only" campaigns where advertisers can have their text ads just show a phone number, short description and a call button. In this day and age, it makes complete sense, however one has to wonder if this new option has anything to do with drivers who continue to look at their phone while driving.

As someone who has improved his palate over the years and is becoming sort of a "wine snob" these days, I decided to see what the PPC Landscape looked like for Organic Wine Retailers, and boy is it diverse. The Keyword coverage and budgets are vastly different and begs a few questions like: (1) Were they poorly executed from the start?, (2) Too much Competitive saturation?

Inside Adwords Blog Makes Obvious Claim About Branding in PPC
Frankly speaking, I am rather shocked that the June 16th 2014 post in the Inside Adwords Blog entitled: New Study: Search Ads Lift Brand Awareness, concluded something that many PPC Marketers have already known to be true based on their own experiences of the "Non-Brand vs. Brand" typical life cycle.

text: Car: A3 1.8T Quattro Sport 2001 (Y reg) Just got back from garage after getting an ABS sensor fixed and the mechanic said he took it for a quick run after fixing it and noticed I had some movement in my front wishbones. The car has been feeling quite skittish at speed (circa the national speed limit, maybe a touch over but not by a lot oh no no no) recently and hasn't been handling anywhere near as well. I have read a few posts here about wishbones and bushes and what not. My mechanic is quite happy for me to purchase the wishbones (only my OSF one seems to be skewed but he suggests getting both done at the same time...) and i imagine new bushes are required too (those S3 ones I've seen mentioned somewhere sound good {not polybush [whatever the f they are???]})? Just really after some info, cost of wishbones/bushes (finding it difficult to locate new prices, don't want used), whether there is a "preferred" brand or what, any extra info is good info. I'm afraid when it comes to cars I just like driving em, not fiddling with em. So, well, thanks any for info in advance. :thumbsup:

The Bill makes a range of amendments to the tax law. Three
of the schedules, Schedules 2, 3 and 4, did not attract submissions from
stakeholders and the committee accepts this as support or acceptance of them.
Schedule 2 updates the list of deductible gift recipients.
The organisations that have been listed, or had their listing extended, include
AE1 Incorporated, which seeks to locate and honour the crew of Australia's
first submarine; Teach for Australia, which seeks to attract top graduates to
teach in disadvantaged communities; and Australia for UNHCR, which raises funds
to support the humanitarian programs of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees. These are important causes and the committee is pleased that they
have been included in the Bill.
Schedule 3 extends the immediate deductibility of
exploration expenditure, already provided to mining and petroleum explorers, to
geothermal energy explorers. This will restore competitive neutrality in the
sector and support a clean energy source.
Schedule 4 extends the interim streaming provisions for
managed investment trusts from 2012 to 2014, in line with the Government's
announcement to defer until 2014 the commencement of the new overall regime for
managed investment trusts and the new general trust income rules. The committee
expects that coordinating the commencement of these different systems will
reduce compliance costs for taxpayers.
The committee received submissions in relation to the other
four major schedules in the Bill. Schedule 1 clarifies the tax law so that
payments under native title agreements will be subject to neither income tax
nor capital gains tax. These reforms have been on the policy agenda since 1998 and
the committee is of the view that this tax treatment is fully consistent with
the unique nature of native title.
At the hearing, there was considerable support for the view
that the Schedule should also provide preferential tax treatment for Indigenous
community development corporations. This is outside the scope of the Bill and
the committee does not believe that a recommendation along these lines would be
However, the committee would like to stress that native
title is only 20 years old. Indigenous people have spent much of that time
proving native title and are still learning how to release the economic
potential of that title for the benefit of present and future traditional
owners. The evidence given indicates that there is work to be done in finding
consensus on what is an appropriate legal framework that recognises native
title once transferred through a compensation payment to a monetary form.
Finding that consensus will become more important as Indigenous communities
explore new mechanisms to unlock the economic potential of native title for the
benefit of their community now and in the future.
However, as the purpose of Schedule 1 is to amend the tax
law so that it largely reflects the way that the ATO has been applying the law
in relation to native title, it should proceed. The committee expects that
further legislative innovations will be introduced in the coming years.
Schedule 5 applies an income-based means test to the rebate
for medical expenses. The AMA argued that a means test should not apply to a
medical care safety net because illness does not discriminate on the basis of
income. The committee nonetheless supports the Schedule because it will result
in better targeted health expenditure and a more sustainable health system.
Schedule 6 amends the definition of limited recourse debt,
following a High Court case in 2011 where BHP Billiton secured double
deductions for its iron briquette plant in Western Australia. Although there
was general support for the provisions, there were also concerns about
retrospectivity and whether the Schedule should be limited to related party
transactions, similar to the facts in the BHP Billiton case.
The committee was not unduly concerned about retrospectivity
because the new law will apply from the date of announcement and the policy
intent of the provisions is unchanged. Further, there has been only a short
delay between the announcement and the introduction of the Bill. Although
limiting the Schedule to related party transactions may be attractive, it
overlooks the fact that the limited recourse debt rules play an important role
in the wider integrity of the tax system.
Schedule 7 removes the concessional fringe benefit tax
treatment for in-house fringe benefits accessed through salary sacrificing.
In-house fringe benefits are those where the employer provides the same or
similar goods or services as part of their business. The in-house provisions
were initially included in the fringe benefits tax because the tax is imposed
on employers and in-house benefits cost less to employers to provide them.
However, since then the in-house rules have evolved into a
key element of employee remuneration in some industries, contrary to the
original goal.
Overall, the Bill makes a range of amendments that protect
the integrity of the tax system, closer aligns it to underlying policy, and
achieves important social goals. The Bill should pass.
On behalf of the committee, I thank the organisations that
assisted the committee during the inquiry through submissions or participating
in the hearing in Canberra. I also thank my colleagues on the committee for
their contribution to the report.

While the New York Mets' owners and the trustee in the Bernard Madoff bankruptcy have agreed to have the lawsuit mediated by former Gov. Mario Cuomo, it hasn't stopped the two sides from taking shots at each other in court.
Bankruptcy trustee Irving Picard complains the team's owners have tried to pressure "third parties" to disclose evidence at the heart of a lawsuit jeopardizing the team's ownership, according to court papers.
Through his counsel, trustee Irving Picard wrote attorneys for the Wilpon family and partners accusing them of making an "unorthodox" end-run around normal discovery processes. Picard said the lawyers were trying to get a premature look at some 700,000 documents gathered in the trustee's investigation that led to the lawsuit.
The Wilpons filed papers in Manhattan bankruptcy court seeking to force Picard to reveal all of the information he collected for the complaint. The Picard lawsuit accused the family and its business associates of taking more than $300 million in profits from Madoff's Ponzi scheme. He is seeking up to $1 billion.
"As a matter of simple fairness, the (Wilpons) are entitled to immediate access to this information in order to defend themselves against this unfounded complaint," Wilpon attorney Karen E. Wagner said in court papers.
Picard is expected to submit a response by Friday. But in a letter to Wagner dated Feb. 11, the day after Cuomo was named mediator, Picard's counsel David Sheehan said the Wilpons were seeking "special treatment" to which they have no right.
"We also understand that you are currently pressuring third parties to provide you with premature discovery concerning the trustee's allegations against your client," Sheehan told Wagner in the letter.
Sheehan didn't reveal names, but court records suggest that Merrill Lynch and Sterling Stamos Partners, an investment firm, may have been approached.
A spokesman for Merrill declined to comment and officials for Sterling Stamos were unavailable. A spokesman for the Wilpon's law firm Davis Polk & Wardell LLP also declined to comment.
As for the mediation effort, sources who didn't want to be named said no face-to-face sessions have occurred.

Rhode Island DEM, Health Issue Advisory for Five Urban Ponds
People Advised to Avoid Recreational Activities in and to Keep Pets Away from Slater Memorial Park Pond in Pawtucket, Mashapaug Pond, Roger Williams Park Ponds in Providence, and Spectacle Pond and J.L.Curran Reservoir in Cranston
The Department of Environmental Management and the Department of Health (HEALTH) are advising people to avoid recreational activities in waters affected by blue-green algae blooms. Slater Memorial Park Pond in Pawtucket, Mashapaug Pond and Roger Williams Ponds in Providence, and Spectacle Pond and J.L. Curran Reservoir in Cranston, are experiencing algal blooms which discolor the water, giving it a characteristic green tint. These blooms may form naturally-occurring algal toxins. People should avoid recreational activities (like swimming, boating, or fishing) in these waters until further notice and be careful not to ingest water or eat fish from any of these ponds. Pets can also be affected by exposure to the algal toxins and thus owners should not allow pets to drink this water or swim in the water. It is likely that the recreational advisory will remain in effect through the end of the year.
The algae blooms in four of the five ponds were discovered during screening-level monitoring conducted at 11 ponds over the past week by a DEM contractor evaluating the extent and presence of blue-green algae blooms. The bloom in the fifth pond, J.L. Curran Reservoir, was reported to DEM by a volunteer with the Pawtuxet River Authority. DEM is conducting analysis of water samples from these five ponds to determine the predominant types and number of blue-green algae present, and measure the levels of algae toxin in the water. No evidence of blue-green algae blooms was observed in the other seven ponds monitored (Fenner Pond in Cranston, Lake Washington in Glocester, Warwick Pond in Warwick, Valley Falls Pond in Central Falls and Lincoln, Breakheart Pond in Exeter and West Greenwich, Trustom and Barber Ponds in South Kingstown). These 11 ponds were selected for the screening-level monitoring based upon historic incidences of blue-green algae blooms and or elevated water column concentrations of phosphorus or chlorophyll a.
The toxins can cause harm to humans and animals. Skin rashes, and irritation of the nose, eyes, and or throat are common side effects that result from skin contact with water containing algal toxins. If water containing algal toxins is ingested, health effects include stomach ache, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. Young children and pets are more at-risk to algal toxins than adults, since they are more likely to drink contaminated water. Other health effects, which are rarer, include dizziness, headache, fever, liver damage, and nervous system damage. People who have been swimming or fishing in these areas and experience those symptoms should contact their healthcare provider.
If you come into contact with the water, rinse your skin with clean water as soon as possible, and when you get home, take a shower and wash your clothes. Similarly, if your pet comes in contact with the water, immediately wash it off with clean water. Do not let the animal lick algae off of its fur. Call a veterinarian if your animal shows any of the symptoms of blue-green algae poisoning, which include loss of energy, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or any unexplained sickness that occurs within a day or so after being in contact with water. People are cautioned that toxins may persist in the water after the blue-green algae bloom is no longer visible.
It is possible that blue-green algae blooms may be affecting other areas of Rhode Island, or may occur in the future at one of the seven ponds monitored where there was no evidence of a bloom. People are advised to avoid contact with waters which exhibit the following conditions: bright green coloration in the water or at the water surface and/or dense floating algal mats that form on the water's surface. The water may look like green paint, thick pea soup, or green cottage cheese. To report suspected blue-green algae blooms, contact Brian Zalewsky in DEM's Office of Water Resources at 222-4700 ext. 7145.
More information on blue-green algae blooms can be found at HEALTH's website: www.health.ri.gov/healthrisks/poisoning/cyanobacteria/index.php, and DEM's website: www.dem.ri.gov/programs/bnatres/agricult/pdf/algaepostr.pdf.

Equality, Generally, an ideal of uniformity in treatment or status by those in a position to affect either. Acknowledgment of the right to equality often must be coerced from the advantaged by the disadvantaged. Equality of opportunity was the founding creed of U.S. society, but equality among all peoples and between the sexes has proved easier to legislate than to achieve in practice. Social or religious inequality is deeply ingrained in some cultures and thus difficult to overcome (see caste). Government efforts to achieve economic equality include enhancing opportunities through tax policy, subsidized training and education, redistributing wealth or resources, and preferential treatment of those historically treated unequally (see affirmative action). See also civil rights movement; feminism; gay rights movement; human rights; Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Q: You sometimes hear the weatherman mention the term waterspouts. What are they?
A: A waterspout is a tornado that forms over an ocean, bay or a lake, said Brent McRoberts of Texas A&M University.
"A waterspout is created in the same way as a tornado, but because it's over water and not land, you don't see the dark funnel cloud that a tornado has because there is no dust or dirt to form the ominous looking image that we associate with tornadoes," he explained. "In fact, they often appear almost white or light blue in color."
He added that there are two types of waterspouts: a tornadic waterspout and a fair weather waterspout.
" Tornadic waterspouts are usually more dangerous than fair weather waterspouts because they generally start out as a tornado over land and then move across water," he said. "They can be large and capable of destruction, while fair weather waterspouts are usually thin and not nearly as strong as a tornadic waterspout."
Most form over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the southern Atlantic coastline, with the Florida Keys reporting the most waterspouts of any area, McRoberts said.
"While most of these are harmless, some can overturn boats or do serious damage to docks and structures along the water," he added. "If you see a waterspout, consider it a dangerous event and be prepared to take shelter immediately."

Jordan Johnson pleads not guilty to sexual intercourse without consent.
Jordan Johnson remains a UM student, but is off the football team after being charged with sexual intercourse without consent.
County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg explains why a Grand Jury was not empanelled in the Jordan Johnson case.
Jordan Johnson charged with sexual intercourse without consent on Tuesday afternoon.
Grizzly QB Jordan Johnson enrolled for fall classes and still a member of the football team.
Jordan Graham pleaded guilty to a second degree murder charge on Thursday (Dec. 12) in the death of her newlywed husband, Cody Johnson, at Glacier National Park.
Day four of the Jordan Graham trial continued on Thursday morning of December 12, a little later then scheduled. The prosecution rested and the defense began calling up witnesses--one in particular was Graham's mother, Lindele Rutledge.
The coroner for the Flathead County Sheriff's Department gave his account of where he found articles of clothing belonging to Cody Johnson, as well as a cloth that has been in question, from the witness stand today, Dec. 11, in the third day of the Jordan Graham murder trial.
During the afternoon of the second day of her murder trial, Jordan Graham's friends, who were with her when she found her husband's body in Glacier National Park, testified about her behavior they viewed as uncharacteristic for the situation.
Graham is accused of pushing her newlywed husband Cody Johnson to his death in Glacier National Park.
The second day of the Jordan Graham trial began with stories from people who were once her closest friends and confidants, until they started to grow concerned as the newlywed's story of her husband's disappearance kept changing and not "matching up."

Train Like an Olympian
I am always impressed by the feats of Olympic athletes as they compete. Almost equally impressive are their training schedules. When working out as a job with winning a gold medal as a goal, gym time is longer than my typical 60 minutes. Swimmer Kim Vandenberg, of 200m butterfly fame, recently shared her daily regimen with Women's Health and here are the highlights:
Wake up: 5:15 a.m.
Pool time: 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Weights and Stretching: 8:15 to 9:15
Pool time: 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (in Spring and Summer)
Extra cardio: 30 to 40 minutes on elliptical (occasionally)
Pilates: One to two nights a week
Bedtime: Between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
To see what Kim eats while she trains like a champ, just
Training with such intensity requires a serious amount of calories. Vandenberg tries to make sure those calories come from healthy food in four to five smaller meals a day. Her favorite post swim meal is a turkey or tuna sandwich on whole grain bread with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Although, she loves fruit, mangoes and pineapple especially, to keep her stamina up for swimming Kim needs lots of carbs and proteins. Before practice, she usually eats Harvest Grain Bars for energy.
Now I feel much more inspired to set my alarm for an early morning pool session. How about you?

While I like to consider myself somebody who eats right and cooks nutritious meals, there are times
when you're hungover we all must eat delicious bites of heaven that are really bad for you. I'm sorry to let you know about this but you'll thank me in the end. There is a magical place called Akahlwaya's which has the best Food for Hungover People, namely a Polony and Chip Roll. Polony is some sort of sausage (it doesn't have pork here since Akahl's caters to a lot of Muslim Indians) and the reason I liken it to a doener- both meats that are made in a way that we would rather not know about. On a toasted roll, they put slices of polony, french fries, masala, chili sauce, ketchup and mayo and then toast the whole thing. I estimate it to be probably upwards of 1000 calories, but that's neither here nor there- head to Akahlwaya's next time you are having a bad day (Or your period. Which I guess is the same thing. TMI. Sorry.).

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), a former small business owner, announced today that his guests for the State of the Union will include employers in his district who are struggling under the president's health care law:
Joe Brown, President and CEO of Hartzell Propeller in Piqua, OH. Joe is the president and CEO of Hartzell Propellers, one of the largest employers in Miami County. Located in Piqua, OH, Hartzell Propellers is a global leader in advanced propeller design and manufacturing technology, maintaining 75 percent of the world's market in airplane propellers. Joe's business is feeling the negative effects of the president's health care law, and his company would directly benefit from trade expansion legislation that the Speaker has touted.
Wayne Deschambeau, President of Wayne HealthCare in Greenville, OH. Mr. Deschambeau is the president of Wayne HealthCare, an award-winning hospital that serves the people of Darke County, which is located in Ohio's 8th Congressional District. The nearly 100-year-old hospital prides itself on quality medicine and personal care. Wayne HealthCare is feeling the negative effects of ObamaCare from a hospital and management perspective.
Laura Doerger-Roberts, President of Vinylmax Windows in Hamilton, OH. Vinylmax Windows is a family-run business located in Hamilton, OH, where small business owner Laura Doerger-Roberts employs roughly 100 people. Since 1982, Vinylmax Windows has focused on providing quality products in a timely fashion to its customers. After receiving an e-mail from Laura, Speaker Boehner learned that her health insurance costs are increasing by roughly 30 percent under the president's health care law.
David Lippert, President of Hamilton Caster & Manufacturing Company in Hamilton, OH. Founded in 1907, Hamilton Caster & Manufacturing Company is a family-owned business in Hamilton, OH, that manufactures heavy duty industrial casters, stainless steel casters, pneumatic casters, caster wheels and polyurethane wheels. As the company's fifth president, David employs 72 people in Ohio's 8th Congressional District, but he is unable to grow his business due to the president's health care law.

"They represent the countless number of employers across the country who are struggling right now, and having run a small business, I know where they are coming from.

Getting older doesn't have to mean getting slower.
Just ask Dr. Art Grossman of Everett, who turns 65 next month and still maintains an ambitious fitness regimen. Grossman usually bicycles seven days a week when weather permits, and he also runs about three days a week, teaches cycling for several hours a week, and somehow manages to work three days a week at his medical practice.
"I agree, it's almost sick the amount of time I (exercise)," said Grossman, who has completed 12 marathons and five triathlons. "But on the other hand, it's very enjoyable and it makes me feel good.
"I think it's a reasonable way to spend one's life," he added. "If you think of all the things you could be doing, this is a positive thing you can do for yourself."
Grossman, who grew up in the Philadelphia area, started cycling while attending medical school at the University of Washington back in the 1970s, and he continued after moving to Everett to start his practice. A few years ago someone wondered how many miles he rode in a year, and Grossman had to admit he had no idea.
So he started logging his mileage, and then began adding a little bit to his total every year.
Two years ago he was on track to reach 12,000 miles for the year. But foul December weather left him a few hundred miles short, and the same thing happened again last year.
This year, and barring absolutely dreadful weather in December, he should surpass 12,000 miles for the first time.
After that the goal "will be 13,000 miles next year," although, he acknowledged, at some point "there has to be an upward limit. Because there's no way I'm going to be able to bike around here an average of 40 miles a day (for 365 days). That's not going to happen, because with my schedule there's not enough daylight. … I think 13,000 or maybe 14,000 is probably the limit."
The motivation for all this is not merely to accumulate mega-miles on his bike, Grossman said. Rather, he simply enjoys the physical, mental and aesthetic benefits of cycling.
He rides to and from work "unless it's really bad, snowy or icy, and then I won't ride," he said. His daily commute usually includes trips to the Everett YMCA, where he teaches several of his cycling classes, and that pushes his total to about 20 miles a day during the week. On weekends he typically goes for longer rides in excess of 100 miles.
During the good weather of summer, Grossman might go three or four months without missing a day on his bicycle.
It bothers him to miss a day, "but I don't fret about it anymore because I'm trying to be grown up about this now," he said, smiling. "I don't want to make it an obsession. I still want it to be fun. I'm going to be 65 and I want to enjoy this as much as I possibly can, so I'd rather just have fun doing this."
There are, he added, "lots of days when I should not have been on the bike because of health reasons, but I did it anyway. Either because it was just a nice day or because I just felt like riding that day. … It kind of feels better to do it than not do it."
Grossman has several preferred routes in and around Snohomish County, but his favorite place to ride is probably Whidbey Island. Some days he takes the ferry directly to the island, but on other days — usually a weekend, when he has the time — he will ride toward Anacortes and then across the Deception Pass bridge before biking the length of the island. He usually sticks to back roads as he makes his way to Clinton and a ferry ride home.
"(Whidbey Island) is nice and peaceful, and it's beautiful everywhere on the coast," he said. "It's hilly, scenic and pleasant, and you can't beat it."
There are occasional hazards to cycling, of course. Falls can be painful — fortunately for Grossman, those have been infrequent — and bikers always have to look out for reckless, impatient and inattentive drivers.
"I've been lucky," he said. "I've never broken anything. … I feel like most of my close calls have been in the car. But I've had things thrown at me."
The payoffs, he went on, are those days of pleasant weather and striking scenery, and when he has the leisurely hours to savor both.
"I really enjoy the time alone," Grossman said. "If somebody comes up to me and says, 'How about if we take a ride this weekend?' I say sure. But I relish those times when I'm away from the phone, away from the questions, and can just be by myself. It's just very relaxing."

The bad thing about most feel-good stories is that something bad had to happen before it started feeling good.
Were it simply a matter of Jason Marquis getting reunited with his slider and finding his professional happy place in San Diego, that would be a nice (but familiar) baseball story, although Marquis certainly wouldn't get all gooey about it. A New Yorker not given to warm-and-fuzziness, he's also a hardened veteran of 12 seasons spent with eight different major league franchises, the seventh of which designated him for assignment a month ago.
But that's not the bad part. Not even close.
A few months back, Marquis was with the Minnesota Twins at their spring training complex in Fort Myers, Fla., when he got a call from home in Staten Island. The eldest of his three children, a spirited 7-year-old named Reese, had taken another tumble on her bike.
"She's fallen before, had stitches before, and shrugged it off," said Marquis, 33. "This time, my wife (Debbie) said she was making noises of pain that she'd never heard before. We thought maybe it was a broken rib or a punctured lung or something. Thank God she got Reese to the hospital. Doctors said if she'd waited 15 minutes longer, she'd probably be dead on arrival.
"That's the kind of news no parent should ever go through: 'Your daughter's on an operating table, fighting for her life.' "
Evidently, while not breaking the skin, the bike's handlebar had bored into Reese's torso and lacerated her liver. Bleeding internally, she'd lost over six pints. Just to get to the damaged area and control the bleeding, surgeons had to make such a cut that it's left a scar down from the sternum to the waist.
Unable to get a flight anywhere close to any of the New York area airports — socked in by fog — Marquis spent his own night of paternal horror in Florida. He made it home the next day, spending the next few weeks at his daughter's side in the hospital.
During the days, Marquis would leave the hospital for hourlong breaks, doing some jogging and throwing and whatever else he could just to stay limber for the eventuality of his return to pitching. When he flew back to Florida after his daughter's release from the hospital, though, it was only to pack up his stuff and head right back home.
While he was in Florida, though, nature got the best of Marquis and he talked the Twins into letting him pitch in a game against Class A-ball hitters. He immediately returned to New York with the plan of pitching for the Single-A New Britain (Conn.) Rock Cats, two-plus hours away, enabling Marquis to spend four days between starts with his family.
When the Twins came to New York in mid-April, they summoned Marquis for a start, whereupon he made his first-ever appearance at Yankee Stadium and pitched Minnesota to a 6-5 win. In attendance was Reese, along with approximately 50 other family members and friends.
Staying with the Twins, Marquis boosted his record to 2-0, but he lost four straight starts in May while his earned-run average climbed to 8.47. When he got DFA'd by Minnesota, people assumed that Marquis' pitching had been affected by the concern over his daughter's health. Marquis disagreed.
"You don't stay around the game for a long time unless you're able to set aside personal issues, and that's what I've tried to do," said Marquis, who'd averaged 13-plus wins and 203 innings over six seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Colorado Rockies. "Looking back on it now, I feel like I never really got to work on the things I normally work on in spring training, getting really comfortable with my delivery. Physically, I was fine. The velocity was there, but the movement wasn't. I hadn't been able to refine what I do.
"My family was in New York; I was in Minnesota. When you're there, you're there to win, not work on things. Every game was a battle."
The Padres, meanwhile, were battling their own health issues. Their disabled list included starting pitchers Tim Stauffer, Dustin Moseley, Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland, and when replacement starter Eric Stults was added to the list, Marquis was the guy called up from Double-A San Antonio.
Taking the time after leaving Minnesota to intensify his pitching workouts and get down his repetition, Marquis had agreed to sign a minor-league contract he could opt out of after three starts. He's now three starts into his major league stint with the Padres, coming off a loss in which he struck out 10 Texas Rangers.
Marquis' slider was particularly nettlesome to the Rangers — who lead the majors in most offensive categories — and encouraging for the pitcher in that he'd been missing it with Minnesota. His sinker and change-up had been working fairly well in all of his Padres starts, but regaining mastery of his slider was paramount for Marquis.
"When I get 0-2, 1-2, that's a big pitch for me to get swing-and-misses on," said Marquis. "I'm not saying I'll striking out 10 a game, but instead of one or two like I was getting in Minnesota, I can get five or six a game."
Marquis takes a 1.86 ERA into his Sunday start against the Seattle Mariners and hits the road with the Padres. He'll return to San Diego with his family, which has remained in New York while Reese finishes school and looks to join Marquis next week in Phoenix. His daughter is recovering "amazingly well," if impatiently, eager to resume her involvement in soccer and gymnastics.
"Hopefully, that'll be in three more months," said Marquis. "They had to cut through the muscle, so there's a big healing process, and she has to let it run its course. She has her moments, but she gets it. She understands the sacrifice she has to make now to avoid reinjuring it.
"Reese is well beyond her years in maturity. She takes responsibility for getting her body healed. I'm proud of her for that."
The natural question is how her father has come through the trauma, the parental nightmare. You know, that cliché about how such a life-threatening experience can alter one's outlook and priorities.
"I can't say it put things in perspective," said Marquis. "Because my attitude all along has been, you always put a value on family, first and foremost."

Ducati's Valentino Rossi admitted the crash with Casey Stoner on Lap 8 was his fault, but offered the Aussie a backhanded compliment afterwards.
Valentino Rossi admitted he made a massive mistake after the Italian took out Casey Stoner during a fight for victory in yesterday's captivating Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez. The nine-time world champion had to apologize to Stoner and his factory Honda crew after a mistake under braking at the first corner on Lap 8 saw both crash out in wet conditions. Rossi was able to recover from his blunder and produce a rousing fight back to finish fifth. But Stoner, who had dominated the opening race in Qatar last month, was unable to restart the 27-lap encounter and was furious that he didn't get more assistance from trackside marshals to help get his Honda RC212V fired-up.
Rossi immediately apologized to Stoner in the Repsol Honda box, though TV cameras clearly picked up the 2007 world champion saying: "Your ambition outweighs your talent" in an uncomfortable exchange.
For his part in the drama, Rossi apologized unreservedly, accepting he'd attacked Stoner too soon as he immediately found a good wet setting with the Ducati GP11.
"I had a great chance to get my first win for Ducati," Rossi said. "I felt good, both with the bike and my shoulder, because I could brake where I wanted to rather than where I'm forced to in the dry, since I still don't have the necessary strength. The bike is very fast in the wet. I was advancing really well, and I'm sorry to have made that mistake and thrown away such an opportunity. While braking for the first corner, I entered a bit long, and although I tried to stay to the inside, I lost the front and couldn't stay up. I'm sorry, because I also took out Stoner, and I certainly didn't want to do that. I apologized to him, and I'm truly sorry; it was a mistake. The brake was damaged a little bit but the bigger problem at the end was the front tire was completely finished on the right, so this tire is too soft for me or more or less for everybody. A lot of people were in big trouble. It is better we have just one wet tire for everybody but we need a minimum of two, one soft and one hard like the dry tires, so we hope to speak to Bridgestone and bring two choices for the wet, too. In the wet the bike is better and I had good grip and it was very stable. It was possible to go fast and I discovered this from the warm-up. We know the Ducati is competitive in the wet and the bike is ok, but
Honda's Casey Stoner (#27) was frustrated with track marshals at Jerez who showed favoritism to Rossi after their crash.
unfortunately in the dry we still need to improve and to fix our problems."
Stoner was undeniably livid with Rossi, but he was also angered at the lack of help he received from the marshals.
"It wasn't the best day for me and I'm very disappointed with this result because I believe I would have been there at the end," Stoner said. "Many people crashed and this is why I was being quiet. The bike felt good for the first two laps but then the tires started to move a bit, so I backed off the pace and changed the engine mapping to be a bit smoother to try and save the tires as much as I could because I watched Moto2 and 125s and they looked to be mixed conditions and I wanted to make sure that if it rained again I had some tire left. Then Valentino tried to come by and wasn't able to make the corner and that was it, race over. I heard Valentino arriving and I wasn't worried about anyone passing me at that point in the race so I gave him plenty of room. It was a racing incident and there's not much we can do. What is more frustrating is the reaction of the marshals and their assistance for Valentino and not for me, it was unbelievable."
Jorge Lorenzo spoke of his disappointment at how marshals handled the aftermath of Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner's collision during yesterday's thrilling MotoGP race in Jerez. The Spaniard triumphed in front of a passionate but rain-soaked home crowd of nearly 125,000 fans who were treated to an unforgettable
spectacle in the 27-lap clash. Reigning world champion Lorenzo won in the wet for the first time in his career to move to the top of the championship after two races. But the factory Yamaha rider was frustrated at the apparent favouritism shown toward Rossi after the Ducati star wiped out Stoner on Lap 8. Marshals could clearly be seen giving Rossi more assistance to re-join the race, while Stoner was largely overlooked as he tried to get his factory Honda RC212V running again.
"There is no way that Valentino wanted to crash," Lorenzo said. "It can happen to anybody, it could happen to me also. Casey didn't do anything bad for this crash and he was riding very well and he didn't deserve this. Somebody told me the marshals helped Valentino and not Casey and this for sure I don't like. I would like that these things are done impartially and not like this. But in this moment the marshals are also nervous and it is difficult to react in the perfect way sometimes."
Lorenzo was jubilant to claim a second successive win in Jerez to move nine points clear of Pedrosa.
"The conditions were very tough and I started with the intention of staying with Casey and I managed to do that," said Lorenzo. "I was very concentrated on saving the tire and I felt the performance of the tire drop a lot and (Marco) Simoncelli and Rossi came. Then they pulled away so from there it was difficult to keep the concentration and try more. I was lucky with the crashes in front of me and it was a very difficult and tough race because every lap the tires were worse and worse, and you had to try not to push or brake too hard. I won here in Jerez and I never expected this, but the championship is only at the start, so we can't get carried away."

My driver side window regulator finally gave up after 20 years of service. The regulator cable had snapped causing my window to fall down in the open position. I googled for a regulator for a 1993 Lexus SC300 and Parts Geek had the lowest price out of 9 or 10 sources and it was the only one with FREE shipping! Ordering was a breeze and I got the regulator in 5 days with ground shipping. The part was brand new and was an OEM Lexus/Toyota part. I will definitely be shopping at Parts Geek in the future.

Complete eye examination: 100 EUR
This price includes the costs of prescription of glasses and medicines (if necessary). The complete eye examination is performed with the help of several optical instruments, and it takes 30 to 60 minutes. We also provide pupil dilation, which has a side effect of visual acuity diminution for 2-3 hours.
Keratoconus I-IV operation: 5.000 - 10.000 EUR per eye
1st day: operation of one eye (it will be blindfolded after the operation)
2nd day: removal of the blindfold and check-up
3rd day: operation of the other eye (it will be blindfolded after the operation)
4th day: removal of the blindfold and check-up. A discharging note serving as basis for sick leave is issued.
Methods of payment: Cash, Visa, Mastercard and American Express on the day of the operation.
I made a deep research before my eye surgery to find the most appropriate method and clinic. Finally I have chosen Dr. Artsybashev's clinic in Budapest, and I can tell this was the best decision. The building of the clinic is modern and comfortable; the staff is professional and helpful. I got all the necessary information before the surgery. The operation took only 3 minutes, and it was completely painless. After the operation I got a detailed advice of post procedure medication and precautions for keeping the good result. I am very pleased with the service of the clinic and Dr. Arcibasev's work, so I would strongly recommend it to anyone! Gergő, Budapest

Discount Wig Salon Announces Inventory Clearance
Discount Wig Salon announces their need to liquidate inventory in order to make room for new stock. This creates additional savings on top of their normal bargain prices.
February 16, 2014 (Newswire.com) - With so many styles that are still popular, why would a company want to clear out their inventory? Discount Wig Salon recently announced just such a decision, a clearance sale to make room for new stock.
According to marketing director Clark Wang, "Even though most of our collection is still in style, we like to stay at the cutting edge of fashion and beauty." He continues, "Maintaining current trends actually requires us to be forward thinking, looking to what we believe will be hot in the coming year, not just what has been popular. This mindset is what enables Discount Wig Salon to be successful in a competitive market."
Discount Wig Salon is known for their cheap wigs. However, while most people think of cheap quality when they hear the term cheap wig, the two are not necessarily the same. Wang explains, "Our customers are often amazed that they can find wigs of good quality at such prices. Typically, low end wigs are more suitable for one-time use, such as costume parties." Discount Wig Salon carries wigs that are quite usable for daily wear.
Oftentimes, wig providers in this range are actually drop shippers from overseas. You won't find an address for their warehouse or where they are shipping from. Or, you may find information stating that they ship from Asia. While that doesn't mean an order will take weeks to arrive, many people prefer dealing with a company that is based in the US. Also uncommon in this niche is great customer service, which Discount Wig salon values highly.
Discount Wig Salon offers wigs in a wide variety of lengths and styles, from short to extra long, and from straight to wavy and curly. Most wigs come in many different shades and colors. Many people suppose that achieving a new look will require frequent trips to their hair salon, but may be pleasantly surprised at how affordable and easily it can be accomplished through well-priced wigs. Discount wigs and value priced wigs can literally change a woman's life.
Anyone with further questions about the contents of this release are encouraged to contact Clark Wang at the location provided below.

Photographer's Note
One of the highlights of a visit to the West Coast of the South Island is this short walk through the Hokitika Gorge. Following a section of the Hokitika River, the track features the stunning colors of the glacier fed waters, surrounded by interesting granite rock formations and native forest.
The only thing spoiling the visit to this enchanting spot is the presence of sandflies which are persistent and can leave nasty little welts on one's exposed skin.
The use of the zoom at 270mm created a slight blur but the composition was my priority as I stood far away on the other side of the gorge.

Great composition of this landscape crossed by a manmade structure with people on it. I really like the expanse of water at the bottom with the wonderful colour shouting New Zealand.
Interesting candid too with intimate moment captured. I bet they did't have a clue (and didn't care) that someone was taking a photo of them taking a photo. And very good title too!

Hello Klaudio,
You put hong long telephoto lens to good use here. The couple creating the selfie are oblivious to being in photographed by a member of the paparazzi. There is a possibility that I will be on a ship cruising from California to New Zealand next November. I've never been to New Zealand before, and this may give me a chance to see some of the remarkable scenery you've posted from South Island.
Congratulations to the Croatian team for the 4-0 victory over Cameroon. In anticipating the score before the game, I must admit, i was correct again: 0-0.
Warm regards,

Hello Klaudio,
Your composition is a success indeed. Lovely lines and colours; even the boy's cap matches the colour of his girlfriend's Converse shoes. Well spotted and captured!
Z pozdrowieniami,

Hello Klaudio,
this is a very smart composition, its excellent technical realization makes it so effective and enjoyable. It's amusing to describe this composition as well balanced, it really is and it gives us fascinating sense of depth and height as well. It feels like our eyes have to travel to reach the people, the scene they provide is agreeable. I love the calm colours and atmosphere. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,

You're going to have to be more specific. What is it that you are trying to do, and why. Maybe you don't need to do it after all, maybe it's something that we will tell you that you should do.
In general: apps won't brick your systems. they are just apps.
cIOSs are required to run some apps. removing them may break apps, removing the wrong IOS will definaly brick a system, so you normally shouldn't be messing with those unless you are trying to fix a specific problem.
What's the problem that you are trying to solve?

After reading Josh Getlin's profile of Delaune Michel – best known in LA circles for launching the Spoken Interludes salon, now transplanted to Westchester County – I scratched my head as to why the Warren Beatty connection hadn't been divulged in a big way last year, when Michel's novel THE AFTERMATH OF DREAMING was first released by William Morrow. One would think it could be a news peg, especially as the book has a character modelled pretty strongly after him.
So instead, we find out now, when the novel is released in paperback: When she was 18, Michel left Baton Rouge, La., and moved to New York, hoping to launch a modeling career. Although her runway dreams fizzled, she met Beatty in 1987 while working as a hostess at the posh Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan. The two instantly became very close friends, Michel said, and the story of their up-and-down relationship is central to her novel. "I was green as a pea," she said, recalling the night she met Beatty. "And he was nothing but a wonderful, kind and supportive person. Being able to call him on the phone and tell him what was going on, to hear his take on it, was truly everything. He was an emotionally generous friend."
Beatty doesn't say his side of the story as he elected not to respond to repeated requests to be interviewed for Getlin's piece. "It's not like we're in touch," she said of Beatty. "He's happily married. And this novel is not a hatchet job. [The relationship] was a very sweet, poignant thing, and was part of my growth."

I'm not sure what made me think of muffins for this week's 38 Power Foods Group topic – kiwifruit – but I'm so glad I did. And I knew just where to go to find a kiwifruit muffin recipe: 750 Best Muffin Recipes: Everything from breakfast classics to gluten-free, vegan and coffeehouse favorites, by one of my favorite cookbook writers, Camilla Saulsbury.
Her kiwifruit muffins sounded simple and delicious, but as usual, I took a few liberties with the recipe: dividing it in half to make 6 muffins instead of 12, lightening it up ever so slightly (since it was pretty healthy already) and changing the combination in which a couple of the ingredients were mixed together.
All I can say is yummy, yummy! Rod and Mom liked them too. These skinny kiwifruit muffins turned out moist, sweet and delicious with only 4 Weight Watchers PointsPlus. We enjoyed them for breakfast this week warm-from-the-oven along with a bowl of strawberries and kiwifruit…
This week a group of bloggers is featuring kiwifruit as a power food. (Each week a small group of bloggers is working its way through Power Foods: 150 Delicious Recipes with the 38 Healthiest Ingredients, by Martha Stewart and the editors of Whole Living Magazine.)
Truthfully, I've never given much thought to the fuzzy little fruit, beyond adding 1 or 2 to a fresh fruit salad. I love it's translucent green color and strawberry-banana-ish flavor. But it turns out the kiwifruit, which originated in China and were brought to New Zealand by missionaries, is a 56 calorie (0 PointsPlus) nutritional powerhouse, loaded with antioxidants (especially vitamin C), potassium and fiber.
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup chopped peeled kiwifruit
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 F degrees.
- Coat 6 muffin cups with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and allspice until well blended.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk and butter until well blended.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Gently stir in the kiwifruit and raisins.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 4 minutes and then carefully remove the muffins from the pan and place them directly on the wire rack to finish cooling.

If it seems like your nearby American Eagle Outfitters (AEO[1]), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF[2]), or Aeropostale (ARO[3]) stores are a little less crowded than they were a couple of years ago, you're not crazy — they are drawing smaller a crowd.
[4]Contrary to the picture these retailers are painting, however, the fix isn't just a simple matter of a new season's fashions or a tweak in the way these shops advertise. These clothing stores are off the mark in several ways, and may be set to struggle no matter how drastically they try to overhaul themselves.
Where does one begin to describe the plethora of problems these teen-apparel retailers are facing? The most apparent one isn't necessarily the biggest one, but it's one well worth mentioning: Blatant contempt for its potential customers.
Case in point: Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries was already pushing his luck on the "creepy" scale, but when a comment he made in an interview way back 2006 resurfaced again last year, somehow it rubbed people the wrong way — and got more attention — the second time around:
"In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla. You don't alienate anybody, but you don't excite anybody, either."
Wow. It's bad enough that Jeffries said this at all, but it's even worse that he's never given the impression that he shouldn't have said it — even after the uproar. Though most threats of boycotts rarely result in a boycott, his true colors may have caused enough of a stir to keep at least some A&F regulars from visiting since then.
Its second quarter (2013) same-store sales plunged 10% [5]following the comment's proliferation, and the third quarter's same store sales were off 14%.[6] A dip that big can't be solely attributed to a weak market.
Whether it's fair or not (and it isn't), American Eagle Outfitters and Aeropostale have been lumped into the same category as Abercrombie & Fitch.
Shoppers are steering clear of them, too, with consumers wondering if the Abercrombie CEO's vile words were in line with unvoiced thoughts by the folks running things at Aeropostale and American Eagle. Guilt by association is still a powerful force.
That being said, a gaffe isn't the only thing plaguing these teen-fashion stores.
The details are so ubiquitous they're tough to nail down but in simplest terms, malls are dying. From 2010 to 2013, the number of visits made to shopping centers during the all-important November/December shopping season basically got cut in half[7].
Overall retail spending is still decent, but different. The proliferation and mainstreaming of online shopping has hit stores like American Eagle and Aeropostale where it hurts the most. The casual browser isn't walking past their doors anymore, not even giving the retailers a chance to convert a looker into a buyer.
Without a significant online operation to re-create the potent in-store experience (pulsing music, chipper sales people, and lots of subtle encouragement to buy), these shops just don't compete as well in the online world.
But even that's not the biggest reason stores like American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Aeropostale are hitting a wall…
To give complete credit where it's due, Jezebel's Erin Gloria Ryan summed up Abercrombie's and its peers' problems perfectly[8], saying:
"Mall stores that sell clothing that looks like it was designed for use by a horny prep school ski team snowbound in Aspen or doomed to starve on a sailboat adrift off the Cape — American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Aeropostale — are suffering hard. According to the Huffington Post, it's because teenagers' tastes have changed. That's between-the-lines talk for 'they're not cool anymore.'"
Harsh? Yes. Snide? A little. Accurate? Definitely.
If you look closely, the current Abercrombie apparel lineup looks a lot like the lineup from 1994 … and the lineup from 1997, and 2000, and 2004, and 2009. You get the idea. The large-lettered hooded sweatshirts and plaid button-downs remained in style far longer than most clothing fads do, but time has finally caught up with the label. Nobody wants that look anymore.
Instead, the teen crowd Abercrombie & Fitch is… er, was catering to is now spending its precious dollars on "fast fashion"[9], or cheaper clothing that moves from fashion shows to sales floors to kids' closets in a matter of weeks rather than a matter of months, or years.
With fast fashion, apparel is fun, and not a competition, and the current class of teens isn't nearly as apt to use a clothing label as a weapon in status warfare. Again, Abercrombie is being deemed the biggest victim of the new apparel-buying mindset[10], but American Eagle and Aeropostale are hardly immune.
There's no need yet to write an obituary for the teen retailers' once-relevant powerhouses, but they clearly have challenges they're not equipped to deal with.
It can take years to shake off the damage caused by a heartless insult (intentional or not), and even if Michael Jeffries manages to stay under the radar, if he and his design team can't let go of the 90s look they seem to love so much, the gaffe will be the least of the company's problems.
The same goes for Aeropostale and American Eagle, even if to lesser degrees. Meanwhile, with a trip to the mall now more of a chore rather than a treat — spurring more and more online shopping — these stores are at the losing end of a shopping paradigm shift that isn't going to reverse course anytime soon.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Lichfield Cathedral lined up for Stephen Sutton funeral
Stephen Sutton's funeral could be held at Lichfield Cathedral, it emerged today as hundreds of floral tributes are laid outside his former school.
The carpet of flowers outside Chase Terrace Technology College is spreading in memory of the inspirational 19-year-old while the total raised for his charity fund edges closer to £4 million.
And as calls were growing for his funeral to be held at the cathedral, bosses said they would offer it as a venue to his family.
A cathedral spokesman said: "We want to express our deepest sympathy and offer our prayers for Stephen Sutton, his family and friends.
"Should they request it, the full resources and support of Lichfield Cathedral are available to Stephen's family, whose wishes are absolutely paramount."
Tributes have continued to pour in for Stephen, who died on Wednesday, and events are being held across the West Midlands in the coming days in his memory.
A petition has been launched for a ward at Birmingham Children's Hospital to be renamed after him.
Craig Harrison, of Birmingham, who launched the petition, said: "Stephen did more than any single person in history to raise funds and crucial awareness for the Teenage Cancer Trust - for all of his efforts and dedication in the most extreme of personal difficulties is something many of us - myself included - couldn't begin to contemplate. I feel this honour would be a small way of saying thank you for all he did and achieved."
It has also emerged a memorial is being planned by council chiefs.
Staffordshire County Council leader Philip Atkins has asked staff to explore how best to 'capture' Stephen's 'aspiration and spirit' with a monument likely to be based in his home town of Burntwood.
It is not known what form the memorial will take or when actual plans are likely to be revealed.
But councillors in the authority have backed the sentiment.
Councillor Atkins said: "I have asked officers how we can capture the aspiration and spirit that Stephen showed with a lasting legacy in the county."
He added: "He will be remembered not just for the millions of pounds he raised, but for his remarkable spirit, bravery and sheer selfless determination to help other young cancer sufferers.
"Stephen's story is truly an inspirational one and the county shares in the absolute sadness of losing one of Staffordshire's most courageous sons at such a young age. He has left an extraordinary legacy."
Councillor Sue Woodward, who represents Burntwood, welcomed councillor Atkins announcement and called on people to keep on donating to Stephen's chosen charity the Teenage Cancer Trust.
She said: "Stephen is a hero and has brought the community together more than any councillor has been able to achieve over the years.
"I thank the leader for his suggestion which is something I'm sure we will all support.
"Meanwhile the best way to keep Stephen's legacy alive is to keep donating to the Teenage Cancer Trust."
A book of condolence is open Stephen's former school at Chase Terrace Technology College in Bridge Cross Road.
Among the events happening in his memory this week end include two football matches tomorrow raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
A ladies football match will kick off at 11.30am and the men's match will kick off at 1.30pm.
Many of the men involved in the match knew Stephen personally as they attended Chase Terrace Technology College.
There is also a number of fun day events taking place including live music, a raffle, a bouncy castle and stalls.
The matches take place at Burntwood Rugby Club, The Sportsway, Burntwood. Admission costs £1.
And a huge paintballing session will take Bassetts Pole near Lichfield tomorrow which Stephen had planned to be attending.
Nearly 80 people have bought tickets for the event while another 300 people are already due to be at the venue.
One of the organisers is Stephen's friend Lee Woodward and £1,400 has already been raised from the event for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Stephen passed away on Wednesday after a heroic battle with terminal cancer.
He captured everyone's imagination with his inspirational attitude to life and his bucket list of 46 things to do before he died.

Panthers falter against Ft. Madison
FAIRFIELD — Mt. Pleasant had a shaky start and never recovered, unable to do much damage at the plate in Friday night's district contest against Ft. Madison. The Panthers fell to the Bloodhounds by a score of 5-2.
"Our top of the order struggled at the plate," Broeker said. "We couldn't get anything going."
The first four batters for Mt. Pleasant went a collective 0-for-12 on the night. Even when they connected, the Panthers couldn't find a gap, and they finished the game with just five hits.
"We didn't put much pressure on them," Broeker said. "Even when we had runners at first and second with nobody out (in the seventh inning), we couldn't get the lead runner across."
The Bloodhounds had nine hits, including four in the first inning when they scored three of their runs.
It was the third inning of the game before the Panthers got a baserunner.
No. 7 hitter Tyler Pace singled to right field to start off the third frame, in which the Panthers would score their only runs.
Justin Chalupa then singled and went to second on an overthrow, as the Bloodhounds attempted to throw Pace out at third.
Alex O'Donnell reached on a fielder's choice when the Ft. Madison again tried to throw Pace out, this time at home, but Panther junior beat the throw. Mt. Pleasant was left with runners at first and third with one out.
The Panthers then cut Ft. Madison's lead to one, as Chalupa stole home while the Bloodhounds had O'Donnell in a rundown between first and second.
Chalupa finished the game 2-for-3, leading the Panthers at the plate. Other hits came from Pace, Jacob Dilks and Carson Remick.
Collin Eaves pitched for the Bloodhounds. He walked no one and struck out five in the complete game effort.
Starting on the mound for Mt. Pleasant was Connor Shull. The rival pitchers will become teammates this fall, as both Eaves and Shull move on to a college career at SCC in Burlington, along with Ft. Madison's John Nagel.
In Friday's game, Shull gave up eight hits and two walks for five runs. He fanned four in 4 2/3 innings.
"Shull hadn't pitched for a week, and he was leaving everything up early, but in the second inning, he settled down and was very effective," Broeker said.
Alex Moore pitched in relief, going 1 1/3 innings and giving up just one hit. He struck out two.
"Moore pretty much shut the door on them," Broeker said.
But the Panthers couldn't generate enough offense for a comeback, and the team ended the season with a record of 17-13.
Shull and Moore are two of the team's seniors; the Panthers also graduated O'Donnell, Dilks and Devyn Broeker.
"We'll miss them; they're all pretty good kids," Brent Broeker said. "We will be solid next year, but what we lose with this group is a lot of pitching."
Shull, Dilks, Moore and Broeker all spent some time on the mound this season.
"(O'Donnell) had a rough baseball career as far as injuries," Brent Broeker said. "His only full season was his freshman year. He ended up being one of those guys who filled in spots, even though freshman year he was going to be my starting shortstop all the way through. Still, he proved to be a very valuable member of the team."
District play continues tonight as Ft. Madison takes on Fairfield at Fairfield at 7 p.m. The Trojans defeated Washington by a score of 5-2 on Friday.
