Delaware high school basketball fans were treated to possibly the best game of the state tournament on Sunday afternoon in St. Georges Tech's 69-66 overtime win over Sanford in the quarterfinals at the Bob Carpenter Center.
Delaware high school basketball fans were treated to possibly the best game of the state tournament on Sunday afternoon in St. Georges Tech's 69-66 overtime win over Sanford in the quarterfinals at the Bob Carpenter Center.
The game can best be described as a track meet, with both teams flying up and down the court the entire afternoon. The contest featured multiple runs by both teams as well as countless lead changes all the way down to the final buzzer.
St. Georges Tech started the game on fire, breaking out to an early 8-0 lead over the favored Warriors.
While Sanford would eventually respond, the Hawks led 18-13 after one quarter of play thanks to 12 points in the opening stanza from the electric guard Lamar Hamrick.
The Warriors made a run of their own to start the second quarter, going on a 12-0 spurt midway through the quarter building one of the game's largest leads at six with just over four minutes to play in the half.
St. Georges Tech was able to weather the Sanford storm, thanks to continued strong play form Hamrick and Todd Hughes, who were able to settle the Hawks offense down. St. Georges trailed the Warriors by just a basket, 28-26 at the break.
The fast paced action continued in the second half as both teams aggressively attacked the basket trading runs similar to the first half.
After yet another late quarter run from the Hawks, St. Georges Tech entered the final quarter trailing Sanford by just three points at 45-42.
As the two continued to pace one another down the stretch of the fourth quarter, the outcome would come hang in the balance until the final seconds.
Leading by one point with just 13 seconds left, Sanford was at the free throw line with a chance to go-ahead by three. However, Sanford made just one of two free throws, allowing the Hawks 13 seconds to attempt to send the game into overtime.
Hamrick, as he had down all game, drove to the basket with authority laying up a shot that rolled around the rim before dropping to tie things up at 58-58 with 6.8 seconds to go. The Warriors had a shot at winning the game at the buzzer but failed, sending the game to overtime.
In the overtime, Sanford's Eric Ayala had the hot hand, scoring the first four points for the Warriors and giving them a 62-61 with just over a minute to go. With possession of the ball, Sanford tried to run the clock out passing around the perimeter before getting the ball down-low and forcing several low-percentage shots all that missed.
With 20 seconds left, St. Georges Tech took advantage of Sanford's slipup as Hamrick drained a jump shot to give the Hawks a one-point lead. The Warriors immediately inbounded the ball but again were forced into a bad shot that would not go. The Hawks snatched the rebound and headed the other way scoring two-points on a transition basket.
"(Lamar) was absolutely awesome, he's been playing great all year long and he stepped up again," said Hawks' head coach Rod Griffin. "He's only a sophomore, he doesn't care who scores the points he has that internal fire and simply won't allow us to lose. I told him the game was in his hands and he said coach we're going to make it."
The clock hit zero and the crowd erupted but Sanford had called a time-out with two seconds left. After the timeout the Warriors had one last chance at a half-court prayer to send the game to a second overtime but the shot came up short.
Leading the way in the Hawks' upset victory was Hamrick, just a sophomore, who netted a game-high 38 points in the quarterfinal victory.
A year ago, the Hawks were 4-16. Now, they're just one game away from playing for the state championship. The Hawks will face No. 14 Cape Henlopen at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Bob Carpenter Center.
"We put in a lot of hard work over the summer and the fall," said Griffin. "We got back to fundamentals; we broke down everything and said we had to get back to the fundamentals.
"We're going to enjoy this win over one of the powerhouses in our state," he continued. "We made a statement for our young school and our young program but we still have games to win."

Catholic schools in Wales may have broke the law when they read out a anti-gay marriage letter from a religious education group to pupils as young as 11, the government in Cardiff has said.
The Welsh administration said on Tuesday it did not fault the Catholic Education Service (CES), which wrote to 359 state schools in England and Wales earlier this year to promote its view of marriage as between one man and one woman, but the schools that read it out.
Leighton Andrews, the Welsh minister for education and skills, said not providing a converse view to students could be seen as a political act.
In a written statement published on Tuesdayhe said the letter did not breach the Equalities Act as it did not contain homophobic statements, but reading it to students was in breach of a separate law that prohibited the promotion of partisan political activities.
"Section 406 of the 1996 Education Act Act requires that local authorities, head teachers and governing bodies shall forbid the pursuit of partisan political activities by any registered pupil who has not attained the age of 12, and forbids the promotion of partisan political views in the teaching of any subject at the school," he said.
"While Section 407 of the 1996 Act requires schools to take whatever reasonably practical steps are necessary to ensure that where political issues are brought to the attention of pupils they are offered a balanced presentation of opposing views."
The CES was encouraged by the Catholic Church to forward the text written by Archbishops Vincent Nichols and Peter Smith which was read out during masses in March.
In one Catholic school, pupils claimed their head teacher put together a presentation which ended with the words: "Sign the petition".
According to a spokeswoman from the CES, the letter was distributed to schools - which were allowed to approach the letter in a way they thought was "appropriate".
"We asked schools to draw pupils' attention to the petition, which simply affirms Catholic beliefs," she told The Huffington Post UK.
Andrew has written to all Roman Catholic secondary schools in Wales reminding head teachers and governing bodies of their "duty and responsibilities under the 1996 Act" and has asked them to ensure that pupils be made aware of arguments in favour of gay marriage in order to give them a balanced perspective.
Chief executive of gay-rights campaigners Stonewall, Ben Summerskill, said the schools had engaged in a "shocking breach" of their duty of care.
"It categorically shouldn't be involved in such a live political issue, particularly in a way that demeans gay pupils," he said.
"We're sure students and parents will be upset that this school is creating deeply unpleasant environment for gay young people when so many other faith schools are doing a brilliant job tackling homophobia."
The coalition government is expected to formally announce plans to introduce gay marriage when it sets out its legislative agenda for the coming parliament tomorrow.
While the plans have the backing of the leadership of all three main political parties in Westminster, the government has faced fierce opposition from some religious groups and backbench Tory MPs.

Remember the Game Genie? Apparently, it's back. The "Game Genie: Save Editor" for PS3 has launched today, and it gives you the ability to insert "cheats" into select games by modifying their save data.
The Genie is a USB dongle that plugs into your PS3 system. By copying save data from your PS3, you'll be able to use the included software to edit the data via your PC. For example, you can start Uncharted 3 with max ammo and grenades, and unlock Crushing difficulty right from the get-go. Or, you can unlock all of Batman's upgrades in Arkham City. There are currently 67 games supported by the Genie.
The peripheral retails for about $30. Do note that modified save files will disable the ability to acquire trophies in some games. Also, the device won't be able to unlock any DLC, even if it's on-disc. Finally, Hyperkin is pledging to make sure cheats that affect online gameplay can't be utilized with the Game Genie. "We are making every effort to ensure that the cheats do not affect online gameplay, but we cannot make a guarantee that the cheats will not have some effect on online gameplay," the company details in a Q&A. "In the unlikely event that we do find cheats that affect online gameplay, we will make every attempt to block or prevent users from utilizing those cheats."

While Double Fine Productions already has "much of the technology in place to produce PC versions of all these games," studio founder Tim Schafer explains in the recently-updated DF FAQ (via Eurogamer), publishers simply "don't see enough financial reward" in bringing Double fun to PC gamers.
As a developer we do not have final say in the sku plan for our games. That is the decision of the person investing the money, i.e. the publisher. We have much of the technology in place to produce PC versions of all these games, but there is still some more work required to make them shippable and that costs money. So far, our publishers have not elected to fund that work. Not because they hate PC Gamers, but because they don't see enough financial reward. Double Fine does care about PC Gamers, and we always push for a PC version, and will continue to do so in the future. If we ever get super stinking rich here, with enough money to fund PC versions of our games, then we will go back and make them ourselves! Oh man, wouldn't that be cool?
Brutal Legend was ultimately published by Electronic Arts, having started off with Sierra Entertainment, while THQ is responsible for Costume Quest and Stacking.
And if you continue nagging Tim about PC releases? "Every time that happens it make my eye twitch and I take a dollar out of the 'PC Port Fund' jar."

This is great and a way of getting the point across. I did get the point. There is great humor here. I see myself and my husband too. The saddest part, I think I've managed to do all of these in the past 5 yrs. I guess there needs to be a #6. Always be sure to look back. Focus constantly on how 5 yrs ago or more you made mistakes and made them often.
This will insure that misery will stay your best friend.

Kevin Durant finished with 32 points, six assists and five rebounds as the Oklahoma City Thunder held off the Brooklyn Nets, 117-111, at Barclays Center.
Russell Westbrook added 25 points and nine assists, while Serge Ibaka scored 18 points and Thabo Sefolosha contributed 14 for the Thunder, who have won six straight.
"We have a great group of guys here who are doing a great job," Durant said. "We're just playing together and playing defense. That's the key formula."
Deron Williams dropped in a season-high 33 points with seven assists to pace Brooklyn, which had its six-game home win streak snapped.
Andray Blatche and Kris Humphries each contributed a double-double in defeat, as Blatche finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds and Humphries scored 12 points to go along with 12 boards.
The Nets trailed, 61-48, entering the third quarter and remained behind by double digits until Williams netted six points during an 8-2 push that brought Brooklyn within 77-68 with six minutes left in the frame.
A pair of Durant free throws about a minute later gave the Thunder back a double-digit lead, but Gerald Wallace connected on four 3-pointers during an 18-9 Brooklyn run to make it a two-point game until Durant's driving layup in the closing seconds gave Oklahoma City a 90-86 advantage entering the fourth quarter.
The Thunder then opened the fourth with six straight points to retake a 10- point lead.
The Nets, however, rallied back again, answering with a 16-8 spurt to get within 104-102 on Humphries' 3-point play with 4:12 to play.
The teams would trade baskets from there, as Brooklyn could get no closer than two points until Sefolosha grabbed a missed Westbrook 3-pointer and converted a layup for a 112-106 Thunder advantage with 36.6 seconds left.
Oklahoma City was able to close out the game at the foul line from there to hold off the Nets.
"I give our guys credit because I challenged them at halftime and they came out with a little bit more energy and focus," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "They battled on the defensive end and sometimes Oklahoma still made some shots, but we battled."
The Thunder carried a 31-28 edge into the second quarter after a tightly contested first that saw six lead changes, six ties and neither team take a lead larger than four points.
It remained a back-and-forth contest through the opening portion of the second quarter until Durant had a personal 7-2 run to spark a 16-4 push that put Oklahoma City ahead, 54-42, with less than three minutes remaining in the half.
Brooklyn could get no closer than 10 points down for the remainder of the second quarter and took a 61-48 deficit into the break.
Game Notes
Nets starting center Brook Lopez missed his third straight game with a foot injury, while reserve forward Reggie Evans also missed the game with the flu ... Oklahoma City has scored over 100 points in 10 straight games ... Brooklyn fell to 7-2 at home this season ... The Nets have dropped seven straight to the Thunder.

The Carolina Panthers selected Jimmy Clauson in the second round the year before they took Cam Newton #1 overall. The Jets could follow suit by selecting Manziel, Bridgewater, Boyd, Murray or Fales.
Geno is by no means the definite future of this franchise.
Geno could be, but he isn't definitely the future of the franchise. Jets could very well go QB in the Top 10 again next year - that's all I'm saying.
Can we at least let the guy get to OTAs and training camp and play a little bit before every move he makes is analyzed to death?
One of the same "genius" GMs that passed on him will go into this season with Blaine Gabbert as his #1. Another will go with a beyond washed up Carson Palmer. Another is giving turnover machine Vick another chance. Another signed Kevin Kolb and took the #5 QB prospect at #16. These GMs are not all geniuses, many will be fired within the next few seasons.
Them passing on Smith isn't necessarily an indictment of him, it's more an indictment of them. That's how I'd look at it...

The (old) Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 is a relic of the earliest days of EOS. This year it celebrated its 25th(!) year in production which is nothing short of amazing for an AF lens. However, 2012 is finally also the year of its successor - the Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 USM IS. As you may notice the focal length and speed remained the same but Canon added a modern USM (Ultrasonic) AF as well as an image stabilizer. While USM is not really a killer argument (the micro-motor AF drive was fast enough after all), the IS certainly widens its usage scope specifically with respect to low light photography. Used on APS-C DSLRs the field-of-view is equivalent to a 45mm full format lens so it's more like a standard/normal lens here rather a wide-angle one. Something like street photography would be an obvious application.

I'm sure some of you guys have heard that Tulane and East Carolina are leaving C-USA to join the Big East in 2014. Tulane in all sports and East Carolina in football.
They should just rename the conference the Big C-USA and strip their AQ status.
But there are more moves coming as the Big 10 and ACC are looking to add more teams and Conference USA is looking to find replacements as well.
These are all rumors so grain of salt
Louisville - Interested in ACC and Big 12
Cincinnati - Interested in ACC and Big 10
Connecticut - Interested in ACC

4. Microsoft's Big Investment In Dell
Dell in February revealed a $24.4 billion deal that would end its run as a publicly traded company, a deal that included a $2 billion loan from Microsoft.
"Microsoft is committed to the long-term success of the entire PC ecosystem and invests heavily in a variety of ways to build that ecosystem for the future," Microsoft said at the time.
"It's a high-risk investment," one top executive for a Microsoft OEM told CRN at the time. "It is going to be hard for Microsoft to manage its other OEM relationships. It is definitely going to negatively impact those relationships."

Junior defenseman and captain Kevin Shattenkirk is expected to sign with the NHL's Colorado Avalanche within the next week, according to BU coach Jack Parker.
Shattenkirk finished this season with career highs in assists (22) and points (29). Those totals were good for second and fifth, respectively, on the team. However, Shattenkirk's defense regressed. Last season, he placed second in the country with a plus-28 rating, but that number dropped to minus-2 this season.
Shattenkirk finishes his BU career with 18 goals and 60 assists for 78 points. He was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team in 2007-08 and the Hockey East Second Team and East Second Team All-America in 2008-09. He was drafted in the first round (14th overall) by Colorado in the 2007 NHL draft.
The Colby Cohen Dilemma
Parker said that junior defenseman Colby Cohen will "probably" sign with the Avalanche as well, but that there's a chance he'll return for his senior season "because of his hip and because of other things that play into his signing."
Cohen had surgery on his hip last summer, but it bothered him throughout the season. He went home for a shot to help ease the pain in November, and although that helped for a little while, the pain came back in the second half.
"It really bothered him the last month," Parker said. "I dont think hes going to need surgery for it, but we dont know that for sure. What shouldve happened is we shouldve kept him out longer, and maybe it wouldve healed better. He felt so good in September, and he wanted to get back in the lineup. We shouldve been much more cautious.
"It was all too good. It held up for a while, but then it started to go downhill. If we held him out until November or something, it mightve been completely healed, and it might not have been re-aggravated."
If Cohen, who was drafted in the second round (45th overall) by Colorado in 2007, does leave, BU would be left with just six defensemen on the roster for next season.
"We werent quite sure wed lose both Shattenkirk and Cohen," Parker said. "We have a contingency plan for one, but if we lose both, were still looking to figure out how were going to do that. We have a couple guys on the line that we can get that are good players. Its not as if well be left holding the bag if Colby leaves."
One possibility would be bumping Alexx Privitera, a 2011 defense recruit, up to 2010, but that isn't very likely considering that he won't turn 18 until January. There are no age restrictions regarding incoming freshmen, but Privitera would have to complete his remaining high-school work and SATs this summer.
Cohen finished this season second on the Terriers with 14 goals and tied for third with 30 points. His awards include Hockey East First Team honors this season and Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player honors last season after he scored the national championship-winning goal.

Canada Pays Tribute to All Who Served at a Remembrance Ceremony at Canadian National Vimy Memorial
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 4, 2012 08:00 AM
VIMY, France, Nov. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Many Canadian and French citizens gathered today at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial, in France, to pay tribute to the men and women who served their countries from the First World War to current missions.
The Government of Canada representative, Mr. Kim Butler, Plenipotentiary Minister, Canadian Embassy, Paris, addressed the gathering on behalf of the Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs. He was joined by the French Republic representative, Mr. Pierre Clavreuil, sous-préfet of Lens.
"During Veterans' Week, we pay tribute to all Canadian Veterans and we continue to recognize the sacrifices and achievements of the men and women in uniform who serve Canada," said Minister Blaney. "We remember significant milestones of the First World War that are part of our proud military heritage: Passchendaele, the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Throughout these battles, regiments from across the country saw action together and helped create a new and stronger sense of Canadian identity."
"Vimy Ridge will forever hold an important place in the history of Canada and in the hearts and minds of Canadians. Canada, as a young nation, fought and triumphed over adversity," said Minister Blaney. "Today, we mark the heroic efforts of those who fought for freedom on Vimy Ridge. We pay tribute to our proud history and we honour those who continue to serve Canada."
Veterans' Week is a time when all Canadians come together to honour those who have sacrificed so much to make our world a safer place. This Veterans' Week, take time to remember by attending a Remembrance Day ceremony, visiting a local cenotaph or monument, sharing your thoughts of remembrance online, or wearing a poppy with pride.

MARKHAM, Ill. — A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 75 years in prison for sexually assaulting and killing a 15-year-old girl in 2008.
A Cook County judge sentenced 24-year-old Timothy Easley of Sauk Village on Wednesday. Prosecutors say Easley sexually assaulted and strangled Brashai Griffin and then left her body in a creek in a wooded area. Jurors convicted Easley last month of first-degree murder and aggravated criminal sexual assault.
Prosecutors say police and search teams looked for the honor student for nearly two days after she went missing.
Both Easley and Griffin attended Bloom Trail High School.

Our flooding in Western Massachusetts this week, resulting from Hurricane Irene, is eliciting comparisons to historic storm events.
My father was born in Easthampton, MA on 1 August 1925 of Polish immigrant parents. He and his twin brother were the youngest of seven children who lived to adulthood.
Through my research, I was able to show him a few things that he hadn't known: the house where he was likely born in Easthampton, a death certificate of a brother in Poland, a baptismal certificate for his oldest brother Bennie in Poland.
As is often the case, some family stories were not proven by the record evidence, but there was a kernel of truth. My uncle Henry thought that there was a baby who had died on the voyage to New York. Instead, we learned that the first child of Piotr and Walerya Szymanowicz had been born in their village of Drohiczyn in eastern (Russian) Poland in 1907 and died just short of his second birthday. Their second son, Boniface, was born a few months after the death of the first. It was the second child who took, and survived, the trip aboard the SS Finland, arriving in New York 23 August 1910.
Piotr and Walerya had six American children in Easthampton, MA and both became citizens themselves. Often the case among immigrant families, the oldest son left school early and began working to supplement the family income. Bennie also began the citizenship process as a young man, filing a Declaration of Intent in the Hampshire County Court. We know he worked in a gas station and had shares of Cities Service Company.
In March of 1936 torrential rains fell on the Connecticut Valley, which had seen an unusually large snowfall in previous months. The thaw, the rain and the ice breaking up in the river combined to produce record flooding. The Szymanowicz family had a small neighborhood grocery store adjacent to their home at the corner of Holyoke and Hawley Streets in Northampton, MA. The flood waters rose, filling their basement and the store at street level. Dad remembers eating "mystery meals" from the cans that lost their labels on the shelves.

When the water receded, river silts were left behind. Bennie developed a skin infection from contaminants that were deposited with the river silts as he attempted to clean up his parents' property. These were the years before common use of penicillin, a wonder drug that we take for granted 75 years later. Bennie died at age 27, on 14 April 1936 in Northampton. His pall bearers were Knights of Columbus, of whom he was a member. He was buried in St. Stanislaus cemetery in Easthampton beneath an Italian marble statue of Immaculate Mary.

Peaches on a peach tree naturally makes me think of song lyrics, and I found this on Wikipedia:
The 'peaches' verse ["If you don't like my peaches/Don't you shake my tree/'n Get out of my orchard/Let my peaches be," in "Sitting on Top of the World"] has a long history in popular music. It appears as the chorus of an unpublished song composed by Irving Berlin in May 1914: "If you don't want my peaches / You'd better stop shaking my tree." The song "Mamma's Got the Blues", written by Clarence Williams and S. Martin and recorded by Bessie Smith in 1923, has the line: "If you don't like my peaches then let my orchard be". In her version of "St. Louis Blues", Ella Fitzgerald sang, "If you don't like my peaches, why do you shake my tree? / Stay out of my orchard, and let my peach tree be". In 1929 Blind Lemon Jefferson recorded "Peach Orchard Mama" ("... you swore nobody'd pick your fruit but me / I found three kid men shaking down your peaches free"). In later years lines using similar imagery were used in "Matchbox" by Carl Perkins and "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band. Ahmet Ertegun was able to convince Miller to pay him US$50,000, claiming authorship of the line in his song "Lovey Dovey". This verse and its ubiquitous usage is an example of the tradition of 'floating lyrics' (also called 'maverick stanzas') in folk-music tradition.In "The Joker," it's "You're the cutest thing that I ever did see/I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree." Video.
"Matchbox" is the most familiar one to me, and it's the version I've put in the post title: "If you don't want my peaches, honey, please don't shake my tree." (Here's Carl Perkins, performing the song I learned from The Beatles.) Though the history of the "floating lyric" suggests the opposite, Carl is talking about the masculine anatomy.

$200.00 Clark Jungle hammock North American - Green color with XL fly upgrade. Jacks R Better webbing and cinch buckles replaced the original rope. Also has separate Z-Liner pods with insulation so an Underquilt is not needed. They are removable, etc. Used only once and in perfect condition. Seams are all sealed by hand. Selling this because I only use my WBBB now. Will ship anywhere in the USA.
Any interest? The price seems good as I paid over $300 for the hammock and another $100 for the Zliner and I only used it for one night. Hope someone can make better use of this then me.

As newly extended deadlines for Fiscal Cliff 2.0 approach, you can blame Congress, President Obama, or both, for the lack of anything but a Band-aid fix so far.
But you can also make a case that we're getting the government we deserve.
Even if they're desirable, higher taxes won't generate enough revenue to stem a rising tide of federal deficits.
Sure, a sustained boom that put people back to work would also go a long way toward doing so. But few are holding their breath. And with good reason. Automation and federal policies that do little to motivate businesses to expand and hire people almost guarantee that the recovery will continue to be short on jobs.
So that leaves reduced spending as the only other way to come close to balancing budgets. But don't hold your breath for much of that either.
As you read this, it's, as Yogi Berra put it, déjà vu all over again. Obama and the House Republican majority are playing chicken, this time over the once-routine vote to raise the national debt limit.
Warning of immediate dire consequences if it's not raised - and there could be - Obama says adults pay their bills. Warning of even worse long-term consequences if it's raised unconditionally - and they, too, seem likely - the GOP says adults cancel orders for things they no longer can afford.
But, as Friday's three-month deadline extension by Republicans suggests, Obama's likely to win, at least in short-run political terms. Here's why:
A Kaiser Foundation poll taken last year found majority support for cuts involving programs involving only tiny slices of the federal spending pie.
Defense, which represents about 20 percent of federal spending and concerning which 40 percent favored major cuts, was a partial exception. But that was a close call; 38 percent
wanted no reductions.
Meanwhile, though, Americans seem willing to get tough on things that that don't much affect the deficit. For example, the survey showed, more than half wanted to seriously slash foreign aid; barely one in 10 said we should leave it be.
The only problem: Foreign aid represents only about 1 percent of federal spending.
Slightly smaller but still-sizeable blocs of respondents wanted to whack food stamps, aid to farmers, compensation for federal workers, insurance coverage under Obamacare and the war in Afghanistan. But federal employees account for only about 7 percent of what Uncle Sam shells out; the others take up a lot less. And spending for the war is going away relatively soon anyway.
But, as far as the public is concerned, the big-ticket programs that make up a third of federal expenditures and are growing larger - Social Security and Medicare - remain off-limits. The poll also found strong resistance - it was 47 percent last year - to paring any money from Medicaid, the fourth biggest outlay after Social Security, defense and Medicare.
The question isn't whether the programs that such spending bankrolls are good or even needed. Rather it's whether we can afford their spiraling costs over the long run. The evidence suggests that we can't. It also suggests another growing outlay - interest on the national debt - will start crowding out the others.
So, until the public reconsiders, the deficit problem likely will remain an intractable and growing burden on future generations.
Now that Obama has achieved what seemed to be his No. 1 fiscal objective - higher taxes on the rich - he has no little incentive to budge on the spending that really matters most to deficits. Especially since the public apparently doesn't much want him to.
So - to come full circle - maybe we're getting the government we deserve.
That, of course, doesn't preclude the possibility of working to deserve better government than we're getting.
But that's a column for another day.

In the mid-1960s, Motorcycle Hall of Famer Bill Baird ruled the AMA National Enduro circuit, riding Triumph machines to seven straight Grand National Enduro Championships.
And this bike, a 1968 Triumph T100C, was the one that carried Baird to his last—and perhaps most impressive—title. That's because it came at a time when many of his competitors were giving up on their heavy machines and going with new, light-weight, purpose-built woods racers, including new-school European two-strokes.
But Baird did not make the switch. For his '68 campaign, the champ stuck with the 500cc, 340-pound, vertical-twin Triumphs that had been so successful for years. Surprisingly, he made few modifications for enduro duty.
"I made my own air cleaner, and '68 was the only year that I put on the Ceriani forks," Baird says. "It was pretty well stock, other than that. Stock gearing. Stock motor. I did saw down the handlebars so I could get through the trees faster."
Baird says he had no trouble keeping up with the lighter bikes.
"The Husqvarna was just getting popular, and Honda was coming around, but when I got into a battle in the woods, I always seemed to be able to out-maneuver them," Baird says, attributing a lot of that to the twin's broad power. "It would take you over any log in second, and it would still run 40-50 mph in the same gear."
It all worked great in '68. Baird won four nationals that year, including the prestigious Jack Pine Enduro, to sew up his final championship.
Baird retired a champion after that season, although he did race a few individual events in 1969. The seven-time champ continued to stay involved with the sport, serving on the AMA Board of Trustees, now the Board of Directors, for 21 years and playing a key role in the founding of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation in 1982, which established the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in 1990.

I'm not sure how many of you noticed but there has been quite a reduction in performance up until last week. Last week, doing a long overdue review of logs I discovered that there was a lot, and I do mean a lot, of traffic much of it using malformed URL strings. I contacted my web host company and worked with them to install and configure some security software to alleviate the issue. After installing that software we saw a 90 (yes, 90) % reduction in traffic, the vast majority of which was coming from China and was related to either malformed (hacking) URLs or attempts to register spam bots.
The forums, from what I have seen, have increased in performance, but I'm keeping an eye on it as best I can. I just wanted to give everyone an update on this issue.

Henderson County may see a few more flakes and flurries Thursday afternoon, but the storm system that dumped snow on the region is pulling out of the mountains and heading northeast.
Henderson County may see a few more flakes and flurries Thursday afternoon, but the storm system that dumped snow on the region is pulling out of the mountains and heading northeast.
"Henderson County won't get anything more today than maybe a flurry or a passing snow shower," said Larry Lee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "The moisture is pulling on out to the Northeast as the storm continues to deepen."
However, Western North Carolina remains under a winter weather warning until 6 p.m. tonight.
The last 48 hours brought significant snowfall to the region, closing schools, government offices and local businesses.
At 8 a.m., East Flat Rock and Laurel Park reported 11 inches and 10.1 inches of snow accumulation, respectively. Hendersonville received roughly 9 inches, though southern parts of the city saw a little more with 9.5 inches reported to the National Weather Service.
The Asheville Airport reported 7.3 inches at 7:39 a.m. Though that was one of the more significant snowfalls reported this winter, it was not enough to put the snowstorm in the record books.
Earlier this week, NWS meteorologist John Tomko said the airport needed to see 9.7 inches to be considered the 20th heaviest snowstorm on record since 1869.
Though the system brought a large amount of snow to the region, Lee said two lucky things happened with this snowstorm: Almost no ice came with it, and it was not immediately followed by very cold air.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, temperatures should climb above freezing this afternoon before the mercury drops back down to the mid-20s tonight.
"It will be fairly chilly tonight, with some freezing of some melted water possible," Lee said.
However, Lee said temperatures should reach the low to mid-40s on Friday, just in time for Valentine's Day.

The more important question is, how do we get young voters to the polls to actually, you know, vote?
Young adults -- those between the ages of 18 and 29 -- have typically aligned themselves with the Democratic Party, but they have become substantially more likely to do so since 2006. [...]
Recent decades have brought significant shifts in Americans' political allegiances, in the short term and the long term. While young adults have generally been more likely to align themselves with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party, they are now much more solidly Democratic than prior generations of young adults.
To a large extent, this reflects the increasing racial and ethnic diversity of the U.S. population, particularly among the youngest generations of Americans. And that growing diversity creates challenges for the Republican Party, given nonwhites' consistent and strong support for the Democratic Party.
Here's an idea, Republicans: If you want to attract the youth vote, try kicking bigots, racists, misogynists, birthers, and other loons out of your party. Then support immigration, public education, Obamacare, women's rights, voting rights, and civil rights. And instead of redistricting in order to win votes, earn them.
In other words, begin to open what's left of your minds and turn that fake outreach effort into reality.
What am I nuts? Look who I'm talking to here.

Wind farms test efforts to cooperate on Oregon's Steens Mountain
On a hazy autumn day, Fred Otley leans against his flatbed pickup and talks about managing the Otley Brothers Ranch in desolate, windy southeast Oregon. A careful rotation of grazing and fire sustains the open mosaic of juniper and sagebrush on the valley slopes, he explains. He points to the water tank he installed to lure cattle away from the sensitive creek bottom, which is lined by lush willows. "We have 40 years of progressive management for all uses, particularly for biological health," he says. "This ranch will be here for the great-grandkids."
Across the field, some 50 cows flick their ears and swish their tails. Behind them, the shoulders of Steens Mountain, striped with shaggy stands of juniper, hunch into a sky yellowed by smoke from a controlled burn. From here at its north end, the mountain looks like little more than a hill. But beyond, it climbs gently for miles, cresting at a 10,000-foot-high ridge of gray rock and plunging over gnarled cliffs a vertical mile down to the hardpan Alvord Desert to the east. Glacier-carved cirques gnaw at Steens' edges, and the valleys below shelter creeks and ranches like this one, which reaches into the largest of all: Kiger Gorge.
The mountain -- including this ranch and its public-land grazing allotments -- falls inside the 425,550-acre Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area, a patchwork of private and Bureau of Land Management holdings set aside by President Bill Clinton a decade ago to protect working ranches as well as one of the most dramatic natural landscapes in Oregon. At the time, many hoped it would end longstanding conflicts between ranchers and environmentalists. The controversy, however, never really settled, and now a new kind of farm is testing efforts to cooperate.
Otley has leased part of his ranch to Columbia Energy Partners for a 104-megawatt wind farm called East Ridge, high on the gorge's rim. "There is a tremendous wind potential up here in a very small footprint if you ignore the viewshed," he says. "We can't manage the land based on subjective ideas." He's not the only one who feels that way: Two other local ranches have contracted with the Vancouver, Wash.-based company to build similar wind farms. Each will have 40 to 60 turbines standing 415 feet tall along high slopes; two of them lie within the protected area's boundaries.
Conservationists as well as some locals dread seeing turbines, flashing lights and power lines on Steens' escarpments. They say that the projects go against the spirit of the Steens Act itself, which states, "Development on public and private lands within the boundaries of the (protected area) which is different from the current character and uses of the lands is inconsistent with the purposes of this Act."
But the act doesn't provide specific protection from the wind projects because of compromises made when it was written, as well as a clear provision protecting ranchers' private-property rights. Meanwhile, critics say that the cooperative management mechanism laid out to help soothe conflicts like this has always been friendlier to locals than to outsiders. As scenic and wildlife values collide with the prospect of unexpected but much-needed economic development, tensions are rising -- not just between ranchers and environmentalists, but among ranchers themselves. "If there is a take-home message from the Steens Act," Wilderness Society consultant Andy Kerr wrote in a 2006 white paper for the Western Governors' Association, it's that "one cannot legislate cooperation."

Investor Tools Change With Economy
by Wayne A. Thorp
This past November I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the AAII Investor Conference in Orlando. While I typically visit a few local chapters around the country each year, the Investor Conference offers a unique opportunity to interact with several hundred AAII members over the course of a few days. On a personal level, it was very satisfying to hear the generally positive comments regarding the changes CI has undergone over the last year. Likewise, I took to heart the comments on where we can stand to do better, and I hope we can do just that in the future. The Investor Conference also affirmed what I have come to learn over the last decade-plus, that AAII members are among the most knowledgeable and savvy individual investors around. I would like to think that AAII and Computerized Investing have played a role in that!
When AAII began over 30 years ago, independent sources of information and education for individual investors were few and far between. After the explosion of investing Web sites during the dot-com era, I feel that, in some ways, we are coming full circle. The last several years have seen the number of financial data providers drop due to consolidation in the industry. With only a few players remaining, the users of this data are placed in a more precarious position when it comes to negotiating data fees. We have also seen exchanges up the cost of the data they provide. As a result, the amount of free data available to individual investors has begun to decline as sites are unwilling to pay for the privilege of offering the financial data. These same economic pressures have forced many Web sites to discontinue popular tools and services that did not fit into their overall business model. Some that immediately come to mind include Reuters' Powerscreener module and, more recently, the MSN Money Investment Toolbox. In many ways, these trends make Computerized Investing even more relevant than it has been in the past as individual investors seek out quality sources of financial data, research, and education.

July 14, 2009
Michael Young had his thoughts plugged deep into a laptop computer the first time we reconnected in a Major League Baseball clubhouse.
The young Texas Ranger from UCSB had to access some video of his previous at-bats against Angels' starter John Lackey before he could indulge the hometown media.
It took me the better part of a decade to figure it out, but now I realize that Michael Young had been actually interfacing that night, one computer to another.
He is baseball's automaton.
Nothing is ever out of place. Not the hair on his closely cropped head, nor the unwrinkled fabric of his form-fitting uniform, nor the quotes in his noncontroversial interviews.
Just look at how Young bears such a striking resemblance to the relentless T-1000 cyborg played by Robert Patrick in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
Even Young's explanation for his ability to hit in the clutch he enters tonight's MLB All-Star Game with winning hits to his credit in both the 2006 and 2008 Midsummer Classics suggests cold, bloodless calculation.
"I'm really not thinking about results when I get up there," he said. "I'm just prepared for those at-bats."
Young will be attending his sixth All-Game Game, but he reacted to his selection as though he were a fresh-faced rookie:
"It's incredibly humbling," he said. "You never want to take that for granted."
I looked back into my notes: It was nearly a replay of what he said after his first selection in 2004.
There were plenty of bugs in Young's system when UCSB coach Bob Brontsema brought him in from centerfield to play shortstop in 1997. He committed 27 errors for the Gauchos that season for a fielding percentage of just .910.
"Oh, I stunk," he admitted. "I was by far the worst defensive shortstop in our conference.
"But I know coach kept me out there because I was doing the job offensively. I was hitting, and I know he felt I had the ability to go out and play a big-league shortstop.
"That's one of the main reasons I'm thankful to him because he could've easily pulled the plug on the experiment and put me back in centerfield."
Thirteen years later, Young has become the face of Texas Rangers baseball. And he took the field that first night in Anaheim with some pretty recognizable guys like Alex Rodriguez, Rafael Palmeiro and Mark Teixeira.
He is, in fact, the Lone Ranger remaining from the team that Texas put together at the start of this millennium.
Young, a career .301 hitter, is still riding high at age 32. His six All-Star Game appearances is second in Ranger history only to the 10 made by Pudge Rodriguez.
He explains that with a bit of dispassion, as well.
"I think one of the reasons I've gone is that I really haven't thought about it," Young said. "I haven't really worried about it."
His storybook career actually reads more like a manual. Young's book approach to hitting is what helped him crank out more than 200 hits in five straight seasons, from 2003 to 2007. Wade Boggs and Ichiro Suzuki are the only other Major Leaguers who've done that since 1940.
Young's 106 hits so far this season have him on pace for another 200. He also has 27 doubles, tied for fourth-most in the league, and is batting .308.
"He does it in such a quiet way," Texas hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo said, "that sometimes you don't even notice it."
That's probably why the Rangers figured that their favorite automaton, who played second base while Alex Rodriguez was still in Texas, wouldn't say boo about becoming a transformer again and converting from a shortstop into a third baseman.
But this time, the move simply did not compute with Young especially with that 2008 Gold Glove Award still fresh in his memory banks.
He shocked the Rangers by requesting a trade during the offseason, although he rescinded it just a few days later when it became a hot-button issue.
"The bad thing is that we never intended for this to go public," Young said. "We thought it was something we could handle behind closed doors. It got out, and that was unfortunate.
"But I think to everyone's credit, we squashed it after that. Probably two or three days after that, we squashed it and moved on."
Consider it a minor glitch and then a full-system reboot for Texas' dutiful cyborg.
And in the five months since, he's reprogrammed himself into a near-flawless third baseman.
Young's fielding percentage of .968 ranks third at the position in the American League behind only Joe Crede of Minnesota and Scott Rolen of Toronto. He's made just six errors in 84 games.
The eight Rangers who manned the hot corner last year committed 23 errors. No other team in the A.L. West made more mistakes at the position, and it was one reason why Texas finished 21 games behind the Angels in last year's division race.
The Rangers trail them by just 1 1/2 games entering this year's All-Star break. Seattle is four games back.
"We feel like all three teams are going to be in this until the end," Young said, "and it should be a lot of fun."
Even automatons, after all, like to have a ball.

It's gotten to the point where Vinnie Johnson can actually plan his summer months around a trip to Minnesota.
For the third straight year, Johnson, the head coach of the Hoboken Shockers of the Major League Baseball RBI (Rebuilding Baseball in the Inner-City) program, will take a team to compete in the RBI World Series in Minneapolis.
It's actually the fourth straight year that the Shockers will go to the RBI World Series, having gone in 2010 to Orlando. But this is the third straight summer that the tourney will be held in Minnesota.
"I just hope that the girls are living up to expectations," Johnson said. "I like to keep putting this on my calendar."
The Shockers punched their ticket to Minneapolis with an 8-2 victory over Harlem at the RBI Northeast Regional tournament on the campus of St. John's University last Sunday.
The Shockers have a roster that features many of the young ladies who earned Hudson Reporter High School Softball All-Area in recent years, including two-time Reporter Pitcher of the Year Jessica Feria of North Bergen, who was the winning pitcher in the region championship game on Sunday.
Feria, headed to Mercy College in the fall, was the winning pitcher in the first game of the tournament and the final game as well.
Johnson had faith in all four of the members of his pitching staff.
"They all did a great job," Johnson said.
Former Hoboken standout Jayla Vega, who was the 2012 Hudson Reporter Most Valuable Player, was also on the Shockers' pitching staff, along with two-time All-Area honoree Eddielynn Figueroa of Ferris and promising newcomer Christina Mezey of St. Dominic Academy.
"Eddielynn played with us last year and Christina represents our future," Johnson said. "We pretty much have a senior team, so next year, we're going to be young. Christina will hold a key role in the future."
The catcher is Shayla Figueroa, Eddielynn's sister, who also played at Ferris.
"Shayla can play anywhere," Johnson said. "Her bat is great. She got big hits when we needed it."
Jovanique Meneses, formerly of Union City High School, is the team's first baseman. Meneses made All-Area as a player at High Tech and later Union City.
Vega handled most of the duties at second base, but she was backed up by Victoria Moyeno of Hudson Catholic and Adriana Liverman of Union City.
The shortstop is Alize Sarmiento of North Bergen, who was predominantly a second baseman for the Bruins in the spring.
"Alize is our leadoff hitter," Johnson said. "She gets us going. I felt she could help us more by playing shortstop."
Johnson likes the fact that his team has great diversity.
"We can use so many different combinations," Johnson said. "I'm fortunate to be able to move kids around and it doesn't hurt us."
Hoboken product Naomi Olacio, another two-time All-Area honoree, also sees time at shortstop.
"She also can play anywhere and she has to play lately, because her bat has been on fire," Johnson said.
Another Hoboken product and All-Area honoree Kayla Morrissette is the third baseman.
North Bergen's Nerylix Cerda, who was the Hudson Reporter Player of the Year in 2013, is the team's left fielder. Cerda is the No. 2 hitter in the Shockers' lineup behind Sarmiento, so the Shockers definitely have a North Bergen flavor at the top of the order.
The centerfielder is Sybil Lynch of Hoboken, who was the 2011-2012 Hudson Reporter Female Athlete of the Year.
Ashley Barron, who earned the Hudson Reporter Female Athlete of the Year in 2009-2010, is a coach on the team, so former Athletes of the Year are well represented on the Shockers' roster.
Jade Bracero, another former All-Area honoree and former Hoboken standout, is the right fielder.
It's safe to say that Johnson has assembled an All-Star roster to head into the RBI World Series every year.
"We're able to get a bunch of good kids from all over," Johnson said. "Sometimes, when you put together an All-Star team, those girls don't mix well. But these girls play together all the time and they've jelled well together. It's a good mix."
Johnson is assisted by Rick Rosero and April Rosero, along with Barron.
The Shockers will not leave for the RBI World Series in Minnesota until Aug. 8, so Johnson has to find creative ways to keep the team sharp and active.
"We'll practice a lot and have a couple teams that will scrimmage us, just to stay busy," Johnson said. "It's a big thrill to be going back again. But we're here to win this year. I am beginning to feel like the Minnesota Vikings, going to the Super Bowl and never winning. Getting there is one thing. We want to win this year. We're playing teams that play softball all year round, so we have to be very good. We only get together for a month or so, but these are the results.
Added Johnson, "I'm really happy with the bunch of kids we have. They've really rallied together to win the region again while having a good time. It's going to be a big thrill for all of them."

MIT President Tells Grads To 'Hack the World' 86
theodp writes "On Friday, MIT President L. Rafael Reif exhorted grads to 'hack the world until you make the world a little more like MIT'. A rather ironic choice of words, since 'hack the world' is precisely what others said Aaron Swartz was trying to do in his fateful run-in with MIT. President Reif presumably received an 'Incomplete' this semester for the promised time-is-of-the-essence review of MIT's involvement in the events that preceded Swartz's suicide last January. By the way, it wasn't so long ago that 2013 commencement speaker Drew Houston and Aaron Swartz were both welcome speakers at MIT."

Sterling, CO--During the 43rd Annual Ag and Tech Awards banquet held at the end of the school year at Northeastern Junior College, a number of students from all over the state received recognition. The event was attended by more than 200 agriculture students, faculty, staff and special guests who were on hand to honor those who received awards. A special guest at the banquet was Jack Annan who has attended 41 of the 43 award banquets held. Annan worked for many years as an admissions counselor at Northeastern and is currently the executive director of the college's alumni association.
Each year the agriculture and at the top academically in their specific program of study or extracurricular endeavors technical education department recognizes students for earning scholarship awards and for being.
Among those receiving awards in 2012 were Ceciala Bennett of Olney Springs who was named the Outstanding Agronomy Student. Bennett received her associate's degree from Northeastern this past May.
Sponsors of this year's banquet included: Cargill, Colorado Community Bank, Northeast Agri-Services and Sonnenberg Agency.

WHen I was ten, my dumbass dog disappeared and we later found out he was hit by a car (my neighbor found him on the side of a nearby expressway).
Outside of my father dying in my arms, nothing has shook me more.
I think I've resisted getting one as an adult because of that memory.
Plus my wife hates dogs.
Sorry to hear, Neevs. I know you've been having a tough year or so, this can't help I'm sure. I hope you get this worked out.
I hate these threads.
Sincere thoughts are with neevs and Timmy, and their little friends.
When our dog died years ago the kids were 6 and 10, I built a pine box for the dog and buried the dog in the woods on our property with stone marker. It helped with the closure and all of us cried. Dogs are family and when they are gone we lose something forever.

This dish is savory with a touch of sweet and completely delicious. I call it HONEYMOON, because I first made it for my husband years ago, and had not made it since. He recently requested it, so it must have been good. I did not even remember making it!
3/4 cup apple juice
3/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup honey
1 lemon, juiced
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 lbs chicken pieces
2 tbsp canola oil
Combine juice, wine, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziploc gallon size bag. Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, the longer the better and best is overnight. When ready to cook, pre-heat oven to 350°F. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil until it has reduced and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes). Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, chicken should be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet. Place chicken in roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top. Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink (how long you bake depends on the cuts of meat). Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.

The lights are on
Halloween is all about the costumes, but video game characters don't need a holiday as an excuse to dress up in different clothing. Alternate costumes and character skins are a common extra feature, putting a slightly different twist on the action for gamers who enjoy multiple playthroughs. This list highlights the best of the bunch – new outfits that change the look and feel of the characters, and can even alter the gameplay.
10. Nelo Angelo – Devil May Cry 3: Special EditionPlayers who complete hard mode as Vergil unlock the "Corrupt Vergil" character skin. In addition to some visual differences, this incarnation uses the Nelo Angelo (Vergil's form from the original Devil May Cry) as its devil trigger form. Players are able to use all of Nelo Angelo's signature abilities, like energy blasts and summoned swords. From a fan perspective, the ability to storm around as this intimidating figure is a dream come true.
9. Mascot – BullyNothing shows your school spirit like becoming the Bullworth Bullhorns' mascot and traipsing around campus. Unlocked in the lead-up to a hilarious mission that has Jimmy Hopkins sabotaging the big football game, this get-up allows players to perform the mascot's signature cow dance for nearby students. It may not make Jimmy the most popular student, but the mascot suit still delivers the laughs.
8. Raiden – Assassin's Creed: BrotherhoodIn a rare instance of cross-publisher cameos, Ezio can take on the appearance of cyborg Raiden from Konami's Metal Gear Solid series. By performing well on virtual training challenges, players earn this anachronistic outfit. Despite Raiden's typical array of weapons and abilities, Ezio doesn't gain any additional powers while wearing the cyber-suit. However, just seeing this futuristic warrior climbing around Rome is worth the effort.
7. The Amazing Bag Man – Spider Man: Shattered DimensionsThis obscure and humiliating outfit has only appeared a handful of times in the Spider-Man universe – primarily when the webslinger loses his regular suit. Borrowing some spare clothes from the Fantastic Four and hiding his identity with a paper bag, Peter Parker is able to keep his identity a secret. The suit even has a "kick me" sign on the back. Kudos to developer Beenox for including this bizarre and amusing reference in Shattered Dimensions.
6. Cod of War – God of War IIKratos is much less intimidating dressed as a fish...especially since he also wields fish hooks instead of his blades of chaos. In addition to making him look ridiculous, the Cod of War costume (unlocked by beating the game) also increases the value of red orbs. That means that players can upgrade skills faster at the expense of Kratos' dignity.

Hi Nyggus,
Yes, the same as between "bad" and "bed".
You can also try a text-to-speech engine, but if it is based on American pronunciation, they sound very similar.
For instance, here :
If you choose "Adult male #1 ...", you won't hear any difference, but if you select "Mike", or "Mary", you will notice one.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Jonathan Papelbon made some disparaging remarks about Red Sox fans on Thursday, telling a Philadelphia radio station that Phillies fans understood baseball better. Andrew Bailey respectfully disagreed on Friday.
"Growing up a Phillies fan, they're great, too. But so far the Nation is pretty good,'' said Bailey, whom the Red Sox acquired to replace Papelbon as the closer. "There's no reason to cause drama from my perspective. Your fans are the ones who go out and support you. For me, I loved them all . . . The Red Sox have a very intelligent fan base.''
Bailey didn't know what Papelbon had said until he was approached by reporters. He found it amusing.
"To say one fan base is better than the other, I've never really seen that,'' Bailey said. "It's definitely welcoming to be here. This fan base has been awesome.
"Papelbon's got to do his own thing down there. He's got to embrace that fan base. I'm thankful to be here and I'm looking forward to the opportunity . . . It's going to be fun.''
Of more importance to Bailey is that he is scheduled to pitch in his first game Monday. The righthander fell behind the other pitchers because of a strained muscle behind his shoulder on the second day of camp.
"I feel great and I'm anxious to get out there,'' Bailey said. "I won't need too many innings to get ready. But it's nice to finally get started.''
Crawford progresses
Carl Crawford made 35 throws from 60 feet, his first action since being shut down eight days ago because of inflammation in his surgically repaired left wrist.
"He was pain free,'' manager Bobby Valentine reported.
The next step for Crawford would be easy swings at balls on a tee. Valentine said the training staff and coaches are working on a program to try to prevent another setback. There is little chance Crawford will be ready for Opening Day.
"Carl understands that this is like a tree, if you will, or your garden. In time, the fruit will be there. But we can't rush the process. We can't allow what happened last time to happen again,'' Valentine said. "I'm making plans without him and eventually he'll be here.''
Scare for Morales
Lefthanded reliever Franklin Morales said he went back to Boston this week to have his heart examined after his precamp physical detected something.
"I was scared, of course, but I'm fine. The doctor said I'm fine,'' he said.
Morales has started playing catch again and will ramp up from there. He has yet to appear in a game.
Left turn
First baseman Lars Anderson, once considered a blue-chip prospect, will get some time in left field this spring.
With Adrian Gonzalez at first base, the 24-year-old Anderson has a dim future with the Red Sox, who nearly traded him to Oakland last summer. He hit .265 with Triple A Pawtucket last season with 14 home runs and 78 RBIs.
Valentine doesn't see Anderson as being ready for the majors quite yet.
"He's close, but he's not there. I like what I see, I like what I hear, I like him,'' he said.
Signed up
The Red Sox signed 16 players on the 40-man roster to one-year contracts. Junichi Tazawa, whose previous deal was for three years and $3.3 million, received $920,000.
From there, the salaries were largely based on service time. Lefthander Drake Britton, third baseman Will Middlebrooks, righthander Stolmy Pimentel, and infielder Oscar Tejeda received the major league minimum of $480,000.
Losing end
Andrew McCutchen was 3 for 3 with a pair of RBI doubles off the replica Green Monster as the Pirates beat the Red Sox, 7-4, Friday night at JetBlue Park.
Clay Buchholz allowed two runs on three hits over three innings. Vicente Padilla was rocked in the fifth inning, giving up four runs on five hits, three of them doubles.
David Ortiz had a solo home run off lefthander Tony Watson in the fourth inning. Mike Aviles and Cody Ross added RBI singles. Darnell McDonald homered in the seventh.
Buchholz, who threw 51 pitches, was working on his changeup.
"It felt good. That's what I wanted to do, I wanted to go out and throw changeups behind in the count to get a feel for it,'' he said. "It's a pitch I feel I have to throw to complement the fastball and the other pitches that I have. It's always been a good pitch for me.''
Looking ahead
Valentine suggested that the No. 5 starter, whoever that proves to be, might not be on the Opening Day roster. The Sox would not need a fifth starter until April 11 in Toronto, giving them the opportunity to carry an extra reliever for five games . . . Lefthander Andrew Miller, who was skipped Thursday because of triceps inflammation, is set to start throwing again Saturday . . . Righthander Aaron Cook, a starter candidate, is scheduled to appear in his first game Sunday. He was brought along slowly because of a shoulder injury . . . Righthander Ross Ohlendorf, slowed by a back injury, is scheduled to appear in his first game Monday . . . Doubront is the tentative starter against the Yankees in Tampa on Tuesday night . . . Minor league games will start next week and Valentine said some of the pitchers could pick up innings there . . . Valentine was asked if he was prepared to name his Opening Day starter. "I am prepared to do it,'' he said. "But I'm not going to. I want to be last. Can I be the last one to name an Opening Day starter? I can do that, right?''
