48 domestic abuse victims killed in 2012 in Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE (AP) - More than four dozen domestic violence victims have been killed since 2000 by abusers who could not legally own a gun in Wisconsin, including four last year, according to a new report.
The victims included Zina Haughton, who obtained a restraining order against her husband, Radcliffe Haughton, just three days before he fatally shot her at the Azana Salon and Spa in suburban Milwaukee, the Journal Sentinel. Another victim, 22-year-old Zoey Krueger, was killed by her boyfriend Nov. 5 at a motel in Jefferson after he had been charged with trying to strangle her less than a year earlier.
In all, 52 people died in 38 domestic violence episodes last year, according to a new report from End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin. Four were shooter suicides.
There have been 499 domestic violence homicides in the state since 2000, and at least 53 of the victims were killed with illegal guns, the advocacy group said. Another 189 people were killed with legal guns.
"These tragedies must call us to do better. Domestic violence homicides are preventable homicides, but too often abusers are not held accountable and are allowed to illegally possess guns to threaten, injure and sometimes kill their victims," said Patti Seger, executive director of End Domestic Abuse.
Radcliffe Haughton bought the gun used in the Azana spa shooting within 48 hours of his wife obtaining a restraining order. That was possible in part because it's not illegal in Wisconsin to sell someone under a restraining order.
Also, Wisconsin judges often don't know whether domestic abusers own guns, and if an abuser lies about having firearms or ignores a court order to turn them over, there's usually no follow-up or penalty.
A bipartisan bill pending in the Legislature would address some of those issues, creating a process for courts to verify whether people subject to restraining orders had surrendered their weapons. But it would still be legal to sell guns to people under restraining orders.

Steven Spielberg Honors George Clooney For Humanitarian Efforts
October 5th, 2013 7:40pm EDT
Steven Spielberg honoured George Clooney for his humanitarian efforts at a gala in New York on Thursday (03Oct13).
The two men attended a fundraising event at the American Museum of Natural History and the filmmaker presented the star with the Ambassador for Humanity Award.
He said, "George is the best kind of humanitarian. The humble humanitarian, an unparalleled example of action over apathy."
After accepting the award, Clooney said, "Our job is to make it hard for the bad guys to do what they're doing, and for the good guys to ignore it.
"We have to be able to keep a record of what the powerful can do to the powerless."
The gala marked the 20th anniversary of Spielberg's Oscar-winning movie Schindler's List, a film that inspired him to record interviews with Holocaust survivors for posterity.
Clooney has become a champion of Sudanese refugees trying to escape the warfare in the African nation.

2 teens arrested in connection to hit-and-run that killed sisters
FOREST GROVE, Ore. – Two teenagers were arrested Tuesday night in connection to a Sunday night hit-and-run that killed a girl and her half-sister, the Forest Grove Police Department said.
Capt. Mike Herb with the Forest Gove Police Department said Cinthya Garcia Cisneros of Forest Grove and Mario Echeverria of Cornelius were arrested at about 6:30 p.m. Both are 18 years old.
Herb said they are boyfriend and girlfriend. He also said Cisneros was driving the car.
Police said during a news conference that a tip from a citizen helped lead them to the suspects.
Anna Dieter-Eckerdt, 6, was pronounced dead at the scene Sunday night in Forest Grove. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner said early Tuesday morning that 11-year-old Abigail Robinson died overnight.
Police said the girls were playing outside their home in a pile of leaves that spilled partially over the curb when they were hit at around 8:20 p.m. Sunday in the 1700 block of Main Street. Herb said one of the girl's fathers was taking pictures and had returned inside the home to put the camera away when he heard the crash. He rushed outside to find the girls and called 911.
"The Forest Grove Police Department wants to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and to our broader community so affected and so impacted by this horrible tragedy," Herb said during the news conference.
Police said there was a third person in the vehicle at the time of the crash. But that person does not face charges, they said.
The vehicle is owned by that third person's parent, police said.
Police have not yet said how the vehicle ended up going through the leaves.
Cisneros faces charges of failing to perform the duties of a driver. And Echeverria faces charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence, Herb said.
On Monday, police said they located the vehicle suspected in the incident. Herb said police still want to hear from anyone who may have seen the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder (pictured in the photo gallery) the night of the incident between 7:45 and when the crash occurred, if they think they may have any helpful information for police.
Forest Grove Police Detective Matt Smith said during the news conference that initially the suspects weren't truthful. But after interviewing them further, it was determined they were involved in the incident, he said.
Police said their investigation is not yet over and the case will likely be referred to the grand jury later this week.
More than 300 people attended a candle light vigil for the girls on Monday night at Sonrise Church in Forest Grove. On Tuesday, the parents issued a statement, thanking the community "for the outpouring of love and support. We feel it, we really feel," they said.
There are tentative plans for a funeral, possibly for both girls, on Saturday.

Lone Star Curling Featured on KEYE's We Are Austin Live!
A group of Lone Star curlers spent Friday morning with Hunter Ellis of the KEYE We Are Austin Live TV show. Pat Popovich was interviewed about how to curl as the rest of our group curled in the background. Eventually Hunter took a few shots and for a beginner did a great job. He hopes to join the club in March.
The story aired on KEYE today (Monday January 9th) at 4 p.m. It was great TV segment covering all aspects of the sport.
Here is a video of one of the segments from the show.
Curling is a game of skill and traditions.
Curlers play to win but never to humble their opponents.
A good curler NEVER attempts to distract an opponent.
A curler never deliberately breaks a rule or any of its traditions. But, if a curler should do so inadvertently and be aware of it, he or she is the first to divulge the breach.
The spirit of the game demands good sportsmanship, and honorable conduct.
Shake hands and say "Good Curling" before a match.
Shake hands after saying "Good game" after a match.
Only the thirds decide the score. Everyone else on each team will stay outside of the house.
Sweepers walk down the sides of sheet out of the view of the thrower and skip.
Sweepers stand to the sides of the house so the thrower can see the broom.
Never walk across a sheet in front of a thrower.
If you burn a rock (touch it with your broom), say so.
Have the rock ready for the thrower on the other team.
As soon as the thrower clears the hack, be in position for your throw, keep the game moving.
Don't argue with each other during a game, the skip is the captain. Chat after about any misunderstandings.
If you want to point out an error concerning a player on the opposing team tell your skip to mention it to their skip.
Make sure your shoes are clean before you step on the ice.
Curling is a POLITE sport. Sportsmanship is first, winning second.
Good Curling!
What are the different roles?
- Shot making – Each person makes 2 shots an end. Your delivery is the most technical aspect of the game of curling. It is something that can be practiced and improved. The more consistent your delivery is, the more likely the result of your shot is going to be positive. The skip will communicate the turn, the weight and the line of the shot that is required but you need to make the shot.
- Sweepers – The sweepers themselves are responsible for judging the weight of the stone, ensuring the length of travel is correct and communicating the weight of the stone back to the skip. The people closest to the rock has the best ability to judge the weight. The sweepers also need to be aware of the shot called.
- Line calling – The skip evaluates the path of the stone and calls to the sweepers to sweep as necessary to maintain the intended track.
- Shot calling – The skip is the in-game strategist for the team. The skip is the person who makes the decision what shot is called. The skip needs to communicate this information to the person making the shot. The skip needs to be aware of the strength and weakness of each of his teammates and take that into account when calling a shot. The skip also needs to be confident enough to be willing to take advice when necessary. Watch your opponent's shots.
After each shot, each player needs to review how they performed their role. A shot may have been missed because of any or all of the roles being performed poorly. A shot can be throw perfectly but if the sweeping, line calling or shot calling was not done correctly, the result will be a miss instead of a perfect shot.
If you have weaknesses in one or more roles, how do you improve?
- Watch and talk to better players. What are they doing different compared to you? Don't be afraid of asking for advice. Communicate with your teammates.
- Practice when possible. For shot-making, practicing your delivery is more important than playing a practice game.
- Read about curling. There is some good information on the internet.
- Watch curling. The Canadian tsn.ca will show a lot of curling starting in February. Watching some of these games will make you amazed and it will seem like they are playing a different game.
Nov. 10, 2011 - U.S. Senior National Championships on tap in North Dakota
(STEVENS POINT, Wis.) – As the 2011/12 competitive season continues, 25 senior teams will compete
to earn the right to represent the U.S. at the upcoming World Senior Championships. Eighteen men's
teams, age 50 and over, will compete at the Capital Curling Club in Bismarck, N.D., for the 2012 USA
Curling Senior Men's National Championship title on Nov. 30 – Dec. 4.
The men's field includes the 2010 senior world gold medalists, led by Paul Pustovar of Hibbing, Minn.
Also skipping is tw0 - time U.S. senior champion David Russell (LaCrosse, Wis.).Last year's Senior
Nationals runnerup Phil DeVore (Superior, Wis.), who earned a silver medal at the 2011 world senior
championships as alternate for Team USA, is back for another chance to lead the U.S. The men's teams
will be split into three pools for a divisional round robin with a double knockout provision with six teams
advancing to the quarterfinals.
Seven ladies teams will compete from Dec 2 -4 on the four sheet Grafton Curling Club in Grafton, ND.
The women's field features the defending U.S. senior champions led by Margie Smith (St. Paul, Minn.)
as well as tw0 – time U.S. senior champions Pam Oleinik (Brookfield, Wis.), Sharon Vukich (Seattle)
and Anne Wiggins (Hendersonville, N.C.). The women's format will be a round robin with a double
knockout provision.
The winning teams will represent the U.S. at the 2012 World Senior Championships, which will take
place April 14 – 21 in Tärnby, Denmark. Live scoring from both senior national championships will be
posted on the USA Curling website (www.usacurl.org/curlingrocks) through its partnership with
CurlingZone. Webstreaming plans are tentative.
Proper sweeping can add as much as 6-8 feet in length to the stone in the last 1/3 of the sheet. Sweeping earlier adds even more length – often as much as 10-12 feet. That could extend the stone the entire length of the house. But don't take my word for it. The University of Western Ontario conducted research for Canadian Olympic team on the effects of sweeping prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics. In addition to how far sweeping will send the stone, here's what else they found:
• A 45 – 90 degree angle is best for sweeping in front of the stone, i.e., wider is better as it maximizes the surface area covered. So when you're sweeping, keep the head of the broom horizontal (90°) to the front of the stone – or at a 45° angle max.
• The area three feet in front of the stone is the optimum area for sweeping. Keep it as close to the stone as possible.
• The outside sweeper begins the warming process allowing the inside sweeper to create even more heat in front of the stone.If the sweepers are outside the three-foot zone, the effects are generally lost. The second sweeper warms up the ice for the first sweeper, . When done effectively in tandem, it optimizes the length the stone will travel. Adding a third sweeper adds little to no additional effect on the stone.
• Keep your broom as clean and dry as possible.

Inside the Immigration Fight:
Iowa Rep. Steve King considers 2013 a win for opponents of legalizing illegal immigrants in the United States, but he fears a bruising fight in the new year against congressional Democrats and likely his own leadership. In the wake of President Obama's 2012 re-election and Democrats retaining the U.S. Senate, comprehensive immigration reform was considered by many to be as good as done. In May, Senate overwhelmingly approved the so-called Gang of Eight plan, which conservative critics immediately labeled as amnesty. For King and other opponents of this approach to immigration reform, their plan was pretty simple. We formed a group in my office back in February to do battle with what was emerging from the Senate and what was starting to emerge from the House, against their amnesty legislation that was coming. Our goal was to get through the first month, then the second month and could we get to Memorial Day and then the Fourth of July, then Labor Day? Now could we get all the way to Christmas and we essentially have, said King. I would count that a success looking back, but looking forward we've got some real challenges, said King, who says he cannot see what good the GOP leadership's piece by piece approach to the legislation would accomplish. Explain to me how any of this legislation in the House can pass the House, pass the Senate, get to the president's desk for his signature that looks anything like something we would support over here. Right now, no one's been able to answer that question, said King. King says the Judiciary Committee, of which he is a member, has passed a good domestic enforcement bill, which he says has no chance of passage in the Senate. The panel has also approved a guest worker program for agricultural workers that King says is tantamount to amnesty for half a million people in the U.S. illegally. While he takes House Speaker John Boehner at his word that the House GOP will never go to conference on the Senate's immigration bill, King says the danger of the House being forced to vote on anything negotiated with the Senate leaves him with no choice but to oppose every piece of immigration legislation. I strongly believe that only bad can come from passing anything out of the House that has to do with immigration. It can only be a vehicle to get components of the Gang of Eight attached to it, he said, while offering procedural option to move on some smaller items. The Speaker can give Harry Reid a call and say, 'Why don't you start a bill over there that is a companion to a House bill that actually doesn't give amnesty? Send it over to us and we can send it to the president's desk. That way we don't have to wonder about whether they will keep their word or not, said King, who says allowing a bill to go to conference has no silver lining for him. It splits the Republican Party and it changes the subject from Obamacare. The president and Democrats win. Americans lose, he said. Although King applauds Boehner for wanting nothing to do with the Senate immigration bill, he is more skeptical about Boehner's overall approach to Obamacare. In addition to hiring Arizona Sen. John McCain's former chief of staff, Rebecca Tallent, to shepherd the immigration debate, other reports suggest the Speaker is holding off on any immigration votes until after many state filing deadlines pass and incumbent GOP members won't have to worry about a primary challenge if they vote for the legislation. Both of those issues are valid and of significant concern to me, said King, who notes that the recent Texas filing deadline is a big deal given the number of Republicans in that state. He sees the Tallent hire as an even bigger sign that his coalition is in for some rough waters. If you were to reach outside the halls of Congress and hire someone from anyone in America so send a strong signal that you were committed to advancing some form of comprehensive immigration reform, Becky Tallent would likely be the number one person that you would hire, said King. In addition to serving in Sen. McCain's office and essentially authoring three previous Senate immigration bills, Tallent also worked for former Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe, whom King describes as an open borders advocate. Is Boehner's hiring of Tallent anything more than a clear-cut sign that he intends to embrace the type of immigration reform that McCain has championed in the past? I think it says exactly that. Why would you hire someone whose whole track record was one thing and think they're going to be able to run a different direction, said King, who likened the hire to choosing a relief pitcher with the bases loaded and the game on the line. I think that she's a high value relief pitcher for the other team, said King. The congressman is quick to point out that he is in favor of legal immigration but that there is world of difference between legal immigration and what many in Washington want to do. I just spoke at a naturalization ceremony last Friday in Sioux City, Iowa. I had to pause a couple of times because it emotionally means so much to me that people that respected our laws then become Americans by choice. But they need to respect our laws, and that's the fight that's ahead of us. If we allow for rewards for lawbreakers, we get more lawbreakers and in the process, the rule of law is chiseled away and you can never restore it again in our lifetime at least with regard to immigration if these things pass into law, said King.
Cooling Support for Climate Agenda:
The Obama administration is still aggressively pushing a climate change agenda that centers on developed nations paying the costs of keeping greenhouse gases out of developing countries but several important partners are abandoning the effort over lack of money and increasing doubts over the wisdom of the plan. The divide was stunningly evident last month at the international climate conference in Warsaw, Poland, where the Obama administration again tried to rally the industrialized world to its cause. The Obama administration has historically signed on to the entire man-made climate change disaster narrative. Todd Stern, who was the chief U.S. negotiator at the conference in Warsaw did ultimately agree to what is called the International Mechanism for Loss and Damage (IMLD), which is a formula through which the industrialized world transfers money to the developing world, said Marita Noon, executive director at Energy Makes America Great and the Citizen's Alliance for Responsible Energy. But while the IMLD agreement sounds like a win for the administration, the plan contains no concrete funding mechanism because of the increasing reluctance of nations to spend billions without any promise of tangible results. The skepticism was on full display in Warsaw. Australia's new conservative prime minister, Tony Abbott, refused to commit another dollar to the climate change agenda and called the program socialism masquerading as environmentalism. Japan also announced it was essentially abandoning it's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, noting that the problems with it's nuclear energy program left it no other course. Great Britain is also looking to scrap its involvement in the climate change movement, with the Guardian newspaper reporting Prime Minister David Cameron told his ministers, We've got to get rid of all this green crap. We are really seeing a large falling apart of this entire process. In fact, Susan Smith with the World Wildlife Fund has called the entire conference a farce because they didn't accomplish what they had hoped to accomplish. They went into this thinking there was going to be so-called 'money on the table'. As she reported, what they found when they got there was exactly the opposite, said Noon, who says only the United States and European Union seem committed to the climate change agenda at this point. So are other nations getting out of the climate change movement because they cannot afford it or because they are growing increasingly doubtful of the science behind it all? Noon says it's both of those concerns and more. The developed countries are all in economic trouble themselves and they just don't have the billions to pour into this. The world is supposed to be sending one billion dollars a year to the developing countries by 2020 and that's just not going to happen, she said, while noting that the latest scientific data are also sparking increased skepticism. [Carbon dioxide] emissions have continued to rise but global temperatures have stalled. In fact, German scientists are currently predicting that we are now heading into a new ice age for like the next hundred years, said Noon. While [carbon dioxide] have risen, the economy has gone down and global warming has not continued to rise. So people are seeing there's really not a connection between the emissions and global temperatures. Noon says with just the U.S. and the European Union left on board the climate change movement, it makes it much harder for them to claim any efforts they undertake will make any difference when the rest of the world just goes about its business. Nonetheless, Noon says Americans should be sobered by the fact President Obama has no intention of abandoning this fight and will try to enact as much of this agenda through the executive branch as possible. As we've seen with this president, he can go as far as he wants to. Hopefully, we are beginning to see some pushback on questioning the constitutionality of all of these executive orders that are being used to go around Congress. Certainly, Congress is not going to ratify any new climate change treaty that might come out of Paris in two years, which is the goal of the climate change alarmists, said Noon.

Catholic Activity: Easter Renewal of Baptismal Vows in the Home
Families should renew their baptismal vows every Easter in order to remind children of the significance of that holy day.
Here, too, is the place to mention that the newly-blessed Easter water should be obtained from the parish church on Holy Saturday and piously used during the Easter season. And since Easter is traditionally the church's great baptismal day, if the children's baptismal candles have been received and kept, they might well be lighted and placed on the family table for the principal meal of the day. Then, too, all of the members can together renew their baptismal vows.

Me and a few friend have a server, and we'd like to install some mods on it.
I have already tried installing Forge for server but it didn't create the "mods" folder so I don't know how to install mods. I have tried to create a new folder and name it "mods", threw some mods in there, but it didn't work.
I am aware that anyone who wants to join a Forge server with mods must have the same mods installed on his Minecraft.
So yeah...I need some help installing Forge on already created server.
Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, or why there is no "mods" folder?
Thanks in advance!

Ho also I've loved your animation.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 17, 2012
This is quite possibly the most surreal animation I have ever watched. It makes me wonder about abstract art, and why I've never been able to really understand it. Because of that, I can't really look at it in any way other than from a technical standpoint, and in that view... it still shines. The animation is very fluid and well-done, which compliments how non-sequitur the animation is.
5/5. I don't understand art very well, but I can tell that this is very good.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 16, 2012
Golfinho, finally your artistic Skil gets some Frontpage recognition again! Looking forward to your next masterpiece!

BPS launches 'Grow with Boston' to welcome new students by expanding K-8 options; invites public input
BOSTON -- Boston Public Schools (BPS) is seeking community input on its new long-term facilities plan, called Grow with Boston (click for more information or download the full plan here), which will allow the District to welcome higher enrollment while protecting arts and science classrooms and expanding inclusive and dual-language opportunities across the city.
"Grow with Boston is a framework that will allow us to dramatically expand the number of K-8 schools and K-8 pathway experiences for families," said BPS Interim Superintendent John McDonough. "We are proud to welcome more students each year into our classrooms. This plan lets us add K-8 schools and programs, which are popular with families, and asks the community to help us develop the right programs for each school in the months to come."
Grow with Boston allows BPS middle schools to grow their grade spans to become either K-8 or 4-8 schools. At the same time, most elementary schools would shift from K-5 to K-8 or K-3 programs. Because most middle schools have extra capacity, these changes would allow BPS to welcome the influx of new students and even expand early education pre-kindergarten opportunities.
This solution allows BPS to expand enrollment while protecting arts, science and specialty classrooms, which are a core part of the academic mission in schools.
The plan also aligns with the new Home-Based School Choice model, which goes into effect for the 2014-2015 school year and helps children attend quality schools closer to home. Parents, teachers and the general public will now have the opportunity help shape the Grow with Boston proposal through school site council, school parent council and community meetings between now and the spring, when BPS will bring the long-term plan to the School Committee for a vote.
"We envision this proposal as a guideline that the community will help us fill in," McDonough said. "Parents, teachers and school leaders know their schools the best and are in a great position to help us move forward together. This is a chance to lay the foundation for a long-term facilities plan that supports academic excellence in every school."
Grow with Boston also includes some short-term proposals for the 2014-15 school year that will allow BPS to welcome additional students next fall. Among them:
- Opening the Fuller (28 Glen Rd., Jamaica Plain) and P.A. Shaw (429 Norfolk St., Dorchester) school buildings to accommodate early education students in the 2014-15 school year. These buildings were originally built as elementary schools. Community Academy and Boston Adult Technical Academy would move into different high school spaces next year
- Relocating Boston Green Academy to the Taft building in Allston/Brighton to accommodate its planned expansion to grades 6-12. Another Course to College, currently in the Taft building, would move to another location to be determined in partnership with the ACC community.
- Co-locate Henderson upper elementary grades and Harbor School grades 6-8 at the Wilson Building in Dorchester to allow creation of a full Henderson K-12 inclusive pathway, which is an Innovation School proposal now under consideration
- Relocate Dorchester Academy from the Wilson to the Cleveland building (where the Harbor School is currently located) and expand to grades 6-12, which is an Innovation School proposal under consideration
- Temporarily relocate Dearborn to the Burke High School top floor for two years while the Dearborn building is totally renovated into a 6-12 STEM program
- Reopen the Alighieri building as an early childhood Montessori program in East Boston.
BPS will request School Committee approval of these items on Nov. 20 for the 2014-15 school year, and return in the spring with further details on the remainder of the plan following the community engagement process.
The public is invited to view the full Grow with Boston proposal at www.bostonpublicschools.org/facilitiesplan.

The Sports Xchange
MLB Team Report - Boston Red Sox - INSIDE PITCH
For days, Jose Iglesias insisted he was feeling comfortable at the plate, even though he didn't have any hits to show for it.
The Sports Xchange
MLB Team Report - Boston Red Sox - INSIDE PITCH
For days, Jose Iglesias insisted he was feeling comfortable at the plate, even though he didn't have any hits to show for it.
On Thursday night, he finally got some results.
Iglesias notched a pair of singles against Tampa Bay ace David Price, then clocked his first major league homer against reliever J.P. Howell in the ninth inning of a 7-4 Red Sox loss at Tropicana Field.
"Just a good game," Iglesias said. "Nothing changed. I've been doing the same thing the last few days. Fortunately today I found a hole. I feel pretty good."
Entering the game, Iglesias was only 2-for-35 (.057) since being called up from Class AAA Pawtucket. Last Sunday, manager Bobby Valentine opted to pinch-hit for him midway through an at-bat when a runner moved into scoring position.
However, Iglesias insists he hasn't lost any confidence.
"I think the more important thing is you just stay positive in this game and you don't focus about the results," Iglesias said. "If you're healthy and you're on the field and helping the team, good things are going to happen."
Iglesias has made five consecutive starts at shortstop for the Red Sox, who are endeavoring to determine if he's a viable enough hitter to play every day next season. Iglesias is a slick fielder, often compared to former New York Mets Gold Glove shortstop Rey Ordonez.
"It's all a Catch-22," Valentine said. "If he doesn't play all the time or doesn't play regularly, is he getting into a groove so you can get a good feel for him? It's just, like so many other things at this time of the year, it's all tough to balance."
MLB Team Report - Boston Red Sox - NOTES, QUOTES
--RHP Clay Buchholz left Thursday night's game after seven scoreless innings when, his back tightened up, according to manager Bobby Valentine. However, Buchholz believes it's nothing to worry about. "Back's fine," he said curtly after the bullpen melted down in the ninth inning of a 7-4, walk-off loss to the Rays. "It's basically everyday soreness. It's fine." Buchholz didn't appear to be hampered by any back problems. In fact, he outdueled Rays LHP David Price, allowing only four hits, including a pair of misplays by novice CF Pedro Ciriaco. Buchholz walked two batters, struck out four and threw only 94 pitches. He said his back began to stiffen during the middle innings, and after the seventh, with the Red Sox leading 3-1, he told Valentine and pitching coach Randy Niemann that he was finished.
--RHP Andrew Bailey blew his second save in seven chances when he allowed five runs in the ninth inning Thursday night in a 7-4 loss to the Rays. Having inherited a 4-1 lead, Bailey gave up back-to-back singles to Matt Joyce and Jeff Keppinger and a one-out RBI single to Carlos Pena. He walked PH Stephen Vogt, who is hitless in 19 at-bats this season, then gave up a two-run, game-tying single to Desmond Jennings that sent the winning run to third base. Manager Bobby Valentine turned to RHP Vicente Padilla, who allowed a three-run homer to B.J. Upton. "It's inexcusable. There's no other way to describe it," Bailey said. "I have to get the job done and find a way to get out of that inning. (Clay) Buchholz threw a hell of a game and deserved a 'W,' and I let him down."
--INF Pedro Ciriaco made his first career start in center field Thursday night. It didn't go well. Ciriaco had difficulty with the white roof at Tropicana Field, misplaying two fly balls into doubles in the first three innings before being replaced by Jacoby Ellsbury. "Experiment on hold," manager Bobby Valentine said. In the second inning, Ciriaco nearly collided with RF Daniel Nava on Evan Longoria's drive to the gap. The ball fell between them for a double. Then, in the third inning, Ciriaco lost Upton's routine fly. The ball fell in front of him, allowing Upton to reach second base.
--INF Mike Aviles made a rare start at third base Thursday night, one night after manager Bobby Valentine said he didn't think it would be fair to play him at the position because he hadn't taken grounders there for most of the season.
"I asked Mike if he thought it would be fair, and he said it's fine," Valentine said. "So that makes it fair if he thinks it. That's all."
After starting at shortstop in 113 of the first 129 games through Aug. 27, Aviles has been supplanted recently by slick-fielding rookie Jose Iglesias. The move wasn't intended as a condemnation of Aviles, but rather to determine whether Iglesias has matured enough as a hitter to be a viable shortstop next season. Aviles has significant experience at third base, having started 14 games at the position last September when Kevin Youkilis was injured.

Zeller, Invesco team up to buy Fifth St. Towers for $110M at sheriff's sale
Zeller Realty Group and Invesco purchased the Fifth Street Towers, a 1.1 million-square foot office complex in downtown Minneapolis, Thursday morning at a sheriff's auction for $110,700,198.66 — exactly $1 more than the bid offered by the lender that was foreclosing on the building.
Greg Kraus, managing director - acquisitions, for Invesco in Dallas, confirmed that his firm is partnering with Zeller on the purchase.
James Gearen, president of Chicago-based Zeller, declined to comment on the deal.
Zeller and Invesco were represented at the auction by Thomas Stoltman, an attorney at Bloomington-based Larkin Hoffman, who said he was representing an investment group called Fifth Street Towers Investors LLC. That LLC is based in Dallas at the same address as Invesco Real Estate' headquarters. Parent company Invesco is based in Atlanta.
The most recent owner of the building, Fifth Street Owner Corp., which has a registered address in St. Paul and a chief executive in Atlanta, handed back the keys to the tower in December.
The lender, MetLife Inc., in March filed a notice of voluntary mortgage foreclosure to clean up the title to the property. The foreclosed borrower has 60 days from the sale to redeem the mortgage if it chooses.
About 50 people showed up for the sheriff's sale, held in a conference room at the Hennepin County Government Center — an unusually large group for a sheriff's sale. Typically sales are done behind a small counter window and only a few attorneys and maybe an investor attend.
As auctions go, this was sort of anticlimactic, as one observer put it, because there wasn't any bidding up of the price.
