Healthy Morneau being cautious with his optimism
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins first baseman Justin Morneau has been around baseball long enough to know just about every cliche in the book.
So the 10-year veteran wasn't exactly going to take the bait at TwinsFest on Friday, when he was asked if this is the best he's felt in an offseason.
"I feel strong, but I'm not going to use the cliche of 'It's the best I've ever felt' or 'I'm in the best shape of my life' or whatever," Morneau said. "But I feel good and feel like I have in the past to help me prepare."
Morneau, though, said he's been able to have a normal offseason for the first time in several years, as he's past the concussion symptoms that plagued him since his collision at second base in Toronto in July 2010.
He said his surgically repaired left wrist took a little time to calm down after the season, but it hasn't bothered him since he started his offseason regimen in early November.
So now Morneau is looking to regain the form that made him an All-Star for four seasons and the American League Most Valuable Player in 2006.
"I don't see why not," said Morneau, who turns 32 in May. "I'm not 38 or 39 or 40. It's something that I expect. I'm still young enough to produce and to produce the way I expect myself to. I don't feel like I'm too far off. I had a little rough start last year, but if you stretch it out to 162 games or 158 games or whatever it is, you get in that full season, those numbers aren't too far off. I don't see why I can't get back to that point."
Morneau had a bounce-back year in 2012, hitting .267 with 19 homers and 77 RBIs in 134 games. It was the most games he played in since appearing in 135 games in 2009.
But he was still bothered by his wrist for most of the season -- sapping his power -- and was coming off surgeries to his neck, left knee and right foot.
And considering the Twins lost 96 games to finish with the worst record in the American League for a second straight year, Morneau isn't exactly looking at last season with rose-colored glasses.
"We finished in last," Morneau said. "As we've found out before, personal success doesn't matter if the team doesn't do well. I'm not ever happy just to play. Obviously, being out there is good, but I want to be successful. So it's a hard way to gauge it. So, yes, I'm glad I was able to play. But am I happy with the year? Definitely not. It's one of those things where, yeah, it's good, but I expect more and I expect better."
Morneau, who has just one year left on the six-year, $80 million deal he signed in '08, also added he's trying to keep the trade talk out of his head.
He believes the Twins can compete in the AL Central after adding Vance Worley, Mike Pelfrey and Kevin Correia to a rotation that finished with the second-worst ERA in the AL last season.
"I'm not going to look on the negative side of it," Morneau said. "I'd rather think that we're adding players at the deadline at this point than trading anybody. That stuff will be out of my control when it does come about. Whenever the deadline comes, that won't really be up to me. It's something where we're hopefully playing well enough where we're adding players and don't even have to think about that."
So, for now, Morneau is working toward staying healthy in '13 and has the World Baseball Classic to look forward to this spring. He'll be playing for Team Canada for the third time in his career.
"It should be fun," Morneau said. "It's always good to hang out with the Canadian boys. It's a good experience. It's a nice little break from Spring Training, which is nice."

Spink honoree Hagen credits family for career
Longtime baseball writer, MLB.com reporter receives annual award
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- As a kid, Paul Hagen -- this year's J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner -- was influenced by the biography of Pee Wee Reese and a book of essays and poems called the "Fireside Book of Baseball."
As a young professional baseball beat writer, he quoted Herman Melville and loved the work of columnists Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times and Blackie Sherrod of the Dallas Times-Herald, calling the latter "my mentor."
His late parents, Dan and Elynor, were school teachers and supportive in any of his endeavors, giving him a lab set when he showed an interest in science and a violin when he wanted to learn a musical instrument.
"Science and music fell by the wayside, but the love of baseball endured," Hagen told a crowd on Saturday at Doubleday Field after accepting the Spink Award during an awards ceremony. "I was a second baseman and pitcher in high school, but realized pretty quickly that I wasn't good enough to get beyond that.
"So I decided to major in journalism in college. And unbelievably, 40 years later, here we are. It's been an amazing journey. And I sure hope it's not over yet."
Hagen is the first member of MLB.com's editorial staff voted the winner of the Spink by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. On Saturday, late Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek was also honored for winning the Ford C. Frick Award and special recognition was offered to Dr. Frank Jobe and film producer Thomas Tull.
The trio of Jacob Ruppert, Deacon White and Hank O'Day, elected to the Hall of Fame late last year by the 16-person Pre-Integration Veterans Committee, will be represented by their heirs at Sunday's induction ceremony, beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET. Hall of Fame coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. on MLB Network and can also be seen with a live stream on MLB.com.
Hagen joined MLB.com in 2011 after spending 25 years with the Philadelphia Daily News as a national baseball correspondent and Phillies beat writer.
Hagen's honor comes to him with MLB.com inscribed on his notepad, and he thanked the MLB.com family "for taking a chance on a 60-something when the state of the newspaper industry nudged me to look for a late-in-life career change."
A graduate in journalism from Ohio University, Hagen told his story on Saturday, his voice cracking when mentioning the absence of his parents at the ceremony, and the sacrifices made by his wife, Karen, and their two children because of the constraints of decades on the beat.
"Covering baseball is more a lifestyle than a job," Hagen said, as he began to again choke up. "It's different for your family. Even when you're home, you're not really there, because there's a game almost every night. And they're the ones who have to deal with your absence. ... Thanks for sticking with me through all of my adventures and my misadventures. I literally couldn't have done it without you."
Hagen was one of three candidates for the award that recognizes a lifetime of excellence in baseball writing. He was nominated along with retirees Jim Hawkins of the Detroit Free Press and Russell Schneider of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hagen and Schneider were also on the 2011 ballot.
The entire membership of the BBWAA is eligible to vote for the Spink Award and does so every fall.
The group has voted for the Spink Award annually since 1962. Hagen is its 64th winner. Spink, the former editor of The Sporting News, was voted the first winner.
Hagen joins such other luminaries as Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, Grantland Rice, Red Smith and Dick Young as winners of the most prestigious award a baseball writer can earn. Contemporaries include Rick Hummel, Bill Madden, MLB.com's Tracy Ringolsby and last year's winner, Bob Elliott.
"Covering the baseball beat may not be as important or crucial in the big picture as uncovering corruption in politics or wrongdoing in business," Hagen said in his speech. "But I strongly believe that anybody who can cover baseball and cover it well can handle any job in journalism."
Aside from his 25 years in Philadelphia covering the Phillies and the national baseball scene, Hagen spent 10 years in the Dallas area covering the Rangers for the Times-Herald and Fort Worth Star-Telegram. His career began in San Bernardino, Calif., with three years of covering the Dodgers, among other beats.
Hagen, now a national reporter at MLB.com, covering Commissioner Bud Selig, the Phillies and Major League Baseball news, said he was thrilled by the support from his peers. He said his fellow beat writers were part and parcel of winning the award.
"I covered the Dodgers, Rangers and Phillies beats for almost 30 years," Hagen said. "I'm proud of that. But the degree of difficulty has been raised tremendously just since I became a national baseball writer for the Daily News in 1972. And still, the best beat writers do an amazing job. They instinctively understand that doing good work is its own reward.
"That louder isn't always better. That as much as they know, there's still much more to learn. That diligence and pride and integrity matter. They all share in this award."

What was the difference in this game besides the fact that the Wolves top players were injured?
I feel the move by Casey to get Bargs out and keep him out towards the end made all the difference. If this team is to be successful we will need to stop running the offence through Bargs and look elsewhere. Bargs need to play way less and only come off the bench.

Too young to have a record player? Or just too lazy? Here's our convenient, affordable way of making six recent vinyl-only singles available to the growing population of turntable-less unfortunates. 22 tracks from 6 bands. The sampler from early 1996 : Saturn's Flea Collar (Victim's Family; Hellworms), Life After Life, Buzzkill, Molotov Cocktail, Pachinko, Radiopuhelimet. 6 7" singles yielding 22 tracks on this CD-only release.
"Glorious. Twenty-two tracks crammed into one CD like an all-night marathon of old B movies. The bands included are: Radiopuhelimet, Life After Life, Pachinko, Saturn's Flea Collar, Molotov Cocktail, and Buzzkill. This CD will rip your brain off at the stem, and kick it down the street into that old lady's yard who comes running out with a shotgun every time someone opens the front gate. Viva el Santo!"- Flipside
"AT, one of the few remains of the Dead Kennedys, put this compilation together to showcase some of their finer 7"s of late. They've got Radiopuhelimet from Finland, and a bunch of Czech Pogue punks called Life After Life, but the highlight has to be Saturn's Flea Collar, made up of a coupla guys from Victims Family (the greatest band that ever lived). This CD is a quick way to have a huge AT 7" collection."- Village Voice
"User-friendly digital compilation of six 7" singles recently issued on the Alternative Tentacles Label, which has always pushed musical extremes with mixed results. This batch fares pretty well and steps outside anything that could be pinned as any "A.T." sound (if there is one), and on the whole is pretty abrasive from the jerky Big Black punches of Finland's Radiopuhelimet, the gravel-voiced folk-punk of SF's Life After Life, Pachinko's damaged noise-rock, the total Mr. Bungle-style quirk of Saturn's Flea Collar, to Molotov Cocktail's and Buzzkill's oddball banging upbeat snot-vocalled punk. "- Maximum Rocknroll

SEI Advisor Network said it added 488 RIAs and had $7.1 billion in new business in 2012, representing a growth level in 2011 of over 40% for the Oak, Pa.-based wealth-management services firm. In 2011, the firm added 337 RIAs.
The SEI Advisor Network now has about 4,900 independent advisors as clients and $33.75 billion in advisors' assets under management versus some 4,500 advisors and $30.44 billion in assets a year ago.
"We've invested heavily in our business in terms of the investment strategies, technology and support services we provide to advisors, and the three straight years of strong growth for SEI is a testament to how our solution is helping advisors drive growth as well," said Wayne Withrow, executive vice president and SEI Advisor Network business-unit leader, in a press release.
The SEI unit, which focuses on investment solutions, practice-management support and back-office administrative services, launched four tactical funds in 2012 that attracted more than $2 billion in new assets, according to the company. It also expanded its separately managed accounts business with themes such as dividend focus, managed volatility, preferred stocks and alternatives, from specialist investment managers.
Asset flows from new advisors into some funds and SMAs totalled $1.6 billion in 2012 vs. $913 million in 2011.
In addition, the SEI Advisor Network—part of SEI—introduced a new set of support services and expanded offerings in the tax-management area. Its new wealth platform was tested with a pilot group of advisors in 2012 and should be rolled out this year.
"We know the advisor market is more competitive than ever before, and with the recent launch of new ETF strategies, an expanded separately managed account (SMA) offering, and the planned launch of our new wealth platform, we are confident that our solutions will continue to help advisors gain the edge they need to compete, differentiate, and grow," Withrow said. "We expect 2013 to be another banner year for SEI and our clients."
According to SEI's quarterly results released on Wednesday, SEI's investment-advisor unit had sales of $52.5 million, up 16% from $45.1 million last year. The unit's operating profit was $20.8 million, a jump of 19% from $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Despite setbacks stemming from trading losses and difficult economic conditions, two of Wall Street's largest banks on Wednesday set a positive tone to the finance sector's fourth-quarter earnings announcements.
Goldman Sachs (GS) saw fourth-quarter 2012 profits nearly triple, to $2.89 billion from $1.01 a year ago, while JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) reported a 53% rise in profits, to $5.69 billion from $3.73 billion a year ago. Both banks beat analysts' expectations by a mile, with GS reporting quarterly earnings per share of $5.60 versus EPS estimates of $3.78 and JPM reporting EPS of $1.39 versus analyst estimates of $1.22.
In midafternoon trading, GS stock was up $5.65, or 4.17%, to $141.24 per share compared with Tuesday's closing price of $135.59. JPM stock was up $0.22, or 0.46%, to $46.58 from Tuesday's close of $46.35.
"While economic conditions remained challenging for much of last year," said Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein in a statement, "the strengths of our business model and client franchise, coupled with our focus on disciplined management, delivered solid performance for our shareholders."
The value of Goldman's own investments contributed to the firm's first year of revenue growth since 2009, with net revenues totaling $34.16 billion for the year and $9.24 billion for the quarter, according to Goldman's Q4 2012 release. But stock analyst Richard Staite of Atlantic Equities LLP told Bloomberg that he questioned the sustainability of Goldman's investing and lending division, which makes investments with the firm's money. Further, Staite said the firm's compensation ratio was unsustainable, amounting to 38% of revenue compared with 42% a year ago.
"This is abnormally low," Staite said. "I'd be very surprised if they can sustain this into 2013."
JPMorgan enjoyed its third straight year of record profits thanks to lower set-asides for mortgage losses and higher mortgage loan demand, the bank said in its Q4 2012 release. Revenue for the quarter was $24.4 billion, up 10% compared with a year ago, while return on tangible common equity for the quarter was 15% compared with 11% in the prior year.
However, CEO Jamie Dimon (left) took a 50% hit to his pay, down to $11.5 million from $23.1 million last year, according to a bank filing made Wednesday. The pay cut was due to the "London Whale" trading fiasco that cost the global bank billions in losses, and for which Dimon bore "ultimate responsibility," the bank's board said.
Nevertheless, in the earnings announcement Dimon took an upbeat tone on the bank's underlying performance.
"We continued to see favorable credit conditions across our wholesale loan portfolios and strong credit performance in our credit card portfolio, where charge-off rates remain at historic lows," Dimon said in a statement. "The real estate portfolios, while at elevated levels of losses, continued to show improvement as the housing market and economy continued to recover. As a result, we reduced the related allowance for credit losses by $700 million in the fourth quarter."
The set-aside for future losses is significantly lower than the average, which analysts estimate at about $1.5 billion.
In a hectic news day for Wall Street banks, The Associated Press also reported on Wednesday that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will pay a combined $557 million to settle federal complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.

Oklahoma Christian University will honor longtime professors, servant-hearted alumni and a local philanthropist at its annual Alumni Banquet on Friday, Nov. 2.
The honorees include Dr. Bailey and Joyce McBride and Dr. Stafford and JoAnne North (Legacy Award), Dr. Lynn McMillon and Dr. James Cail (Distinguished Alumni), Henson Adams and Wil Norton (Distinguished Young Alumni), Jose Freede (Honorary Alumna), and couples Dale and Sheila Hartman, Kent and Nancy Hartman, Tony and Betty Keesee, and Charlie and Debbie Powell (Missions Award).
The banquet, scheduled for 6 p.m. in OC's Gaylord University Center, will help kick off an eventful Homecoming weekend at Oklahoma Christian. Banquet tickets cost $20 and can be purchased by calling (405) 425-5110 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Discounted prices are available for a table of eight.
"The impact that this group of honorees has made on Oklahoma Christian, on our community and around the world is immeasurable," said Bob Lashley, OC's executive director of alumni relations. "A celebration of their lives and accomplishments really is a celebration of OC's history, too. This banquet will be a great opportunity for family, friends and alumni to come together to thank them for all they've done."
Bailey McBride earned his associate degree from Oklahoma Christian in 1954 when it was a two-year school known as Central Christian College. Since returning in 1966, he has served as a faculty member, dean, vice president, provost, and director of OC's acclaimed Honors Program. He also was a longtime editor of the Christian Chronicle. In 2004, Oklahoma Christian launched the McBride Center for the Humanities in the McBrides' honor.
Stafford North came to Central Christian as a faculty member in 1952 and also has served as executive vice president and chief academic officer during his 60 years with the school. He helped put Oklahoma Christian on the forefront of academic technology, starting with a nationally-recognized dial access tape system in the 60s and continuing today with OC's partnership with Apple and the North Institute for Teaching and Learning. JoAnne has helped raise support the university through Stepping Stones and the Oklahoma Christian Women's Association.
The McBride and North family legacies at Oklahoma Christian include a combined seven children and nine grandchildren who have attended the university.
The distinguished alumni honorees have served Oklahoma Christian since the 1960s. McMillon graduated from Oklahoma Christian in 1963, joined OC as a faculty member in 1966, and later served for 13 years as dean of the College of Biblical Studies. He also serves as chief executive officer and editor of the Christian Chronicle.
Cail retired in 2003 after teaching at Oklahoma Christian for 31 years. He graduated from Oklahoma Christian in 1958, returned in 1963 as director of admissions, and later became a popular psychology and sociology professor.
Adams and Norton, the distinguished young alumni honorees, both served as presidents of OC's Student Government Association. After graduating from Oklahoma Christian in 2011, they were accepted into the prestigious Teach for America program. They teach at Douglass High School in Oklahoma City.
The distinguished honorary alumna, Freede has been involved with Oklahoma Christian since the 70s when she hosted on-campus luncheons for civic leaders. She later supported Enterprise Square USA and helped enhance OC's campus landscape with her generosity through the 100-foot-tall Freede Centennial Tower, built in 2007 and dedicated in 2008.
Oklahoma Christian's long history of global outreach moved the university to launch the new "Missions Award" this year. The Hartmans, Keesees and Powells had various stints in Australia between 1979 and 2000, combining for 42 years of mission work there.
In addition to the Alumni Banquet, Homecoming weekend will feature OC's production of the musical "Seussical" at 8 p.m. on Nov. 1-3 in Hardeman Auditorium. Tickets cost $15, with discounts for groups, senior citizens, and OC students, faculty and staff. Tickets can be purchased on weekdays at the OC Box Office or by calling (405) 425-5540.
Other big events include Homecoming Chapel at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, followed by the Homecoming Parade and Homecoming Carnival/Lunch. The Homecoming Chapel service will feature a message from new president John deSteiguer, a devotional, a performance by the OC Chorale, and recognition of OC's first class of four-year graduates, who earned their degrees 50 years ago in 1962.
OC's season-opening basketball games tip off at 1 p.m. (women vs. Oklahoma Wesleyan University) and 3 p.m. (men vs. Central Bible College) on Saturday in the Payne Athletic Center. The "70's Barn Bash" for 1970s-era alumni begins at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Dave Smith Athletic Center.
Numerous reunions, receptions and other Homecoming events will bring alumni from all eras back home to Oklahoma Christian. A complete schedule is available at www.oc.edu/homecoming.


text: Track history: NASCAR speedway owner Bruton Smith announced plans to build a multi-million dollar superspeedway in the Fort Worth/Dallas market late in 1994. Construction started in August 1995 on the 1.5-mile dual-banked Texas Motor Speedway. Dual-banked turns angled at 8 and 24 degrees allow NASCAR and Indy-style racing.On the first lap of the inaugural Cup race in 1997, as the field entered Turn One, 13 of the 43 car starting field were involved in a massive wreck. Darrell Waltrip's car was the only one to be retired after the accident. TMS did some reconstruction work in 1998, eliminating the 8-degree dual-banking, resurfaced the track, all to the tune of $4 million. They also added 4,800 seats in 1998.In 1999, TMS spent $2.5 million on the 4/10-mile clay-surfaced dirt track to host the World of Outlaws sprint cars. 10,000 more seats were added in 1999, bringing the total capacity to 154,861. The sold-out 1999 PRIMESTAR 500 was the largest attended sporting event in Texas history. In 2000, TMS had to fix some track flaws, a dip, caused by erosion, under Turn Four and other problem areas in Turns One and Two. Late in 2001, TMS was in the resurfacing mode again. This time, the entire 1.5-mile speedway was repaved with a granite-based asphalt compound over a concrete base. The track had been extremely fast since it opened and after that resurfacing, the straightaway speeds approached 200 mph.April 6, 1997: The 1997 Interstate Batteries 500 was the inaugural Cup race at TMS. Qualifying was rained-out, so the current point leader at the time, Dale Jarrett, lined up in front of the field with his No. 88 Quality Care Ford. Jarrett led 42 of the 334 lap event and finished second. Jeff Burton drove the No. 99 Exide Batteries Ford from fifth in the lineup, led 60 laps, and scored the victory. With an average race speed of 125.111 mph, due to several wrecks, it was the slowest Fort Worth Cup race on record. April 14, 2012: Greg Biffle won the Samsung Mobile 500 from a fourth place start. It was the No. 16 Ford driver's first victory of 2012, breaking his 49-race winless streak. It was Biffle's second victory at Texas Motor Speedway. Drivers leading 10 or more laps: No. 17 Matt Kenseth 15 laps, finished fifth; pole-sitter No. 56 Martin Truex Jr. 69 laps, finished sixth; winner Biffle 90 laps and No. 48 Jimmie Johnson led the most laps (156 of 334) and finished second.November 4, 2012: Jimmie Johnson won the AAA Texas 500 from the pole. It was the No. 48 Chevrolet driver's fifth victory in 2012. It was his second victory and 14th top-10 finish in 19 races at Fort Worth. This was Chevrolet's 700th Sprint Cup Series victory. Drivers leading five or more laps: No. 39 Ryan Newman six laps, finished 12th; No. 2 Brad Keselowski 75 laps, finished second; No. 18 Kyle Busch 80 laps, finished third and Race-winner Johnson led the most laps (168 of 335).Track Quick Facts (courtesy NASCAR Media):Last five winners: Denny Hamlin 11/7/10, Matt Kenseth 4/9/11, Tony Stewart 11/6/11, Greg Biffle 4/14/12 and Jimmie Johnson 11/4/12.First Cup start here (Active drivers): Brad Keselowski 11/2/08, Trevor Bayne 11/7/10 and David Starr 4/9/11.First Cup pole: Martin Truex Jr. 11/4/07 and David Ragan 4/9/11.First Cup win: Jeff Burton 4/6/97 and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 4/2/00.Fantasy games won't allow you to pick all track favorites so Mid-Pack Attack is here to help. A mid-packer may not win the race but has as good a shot at a top 20 finish as track favorites Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth. There were 45 cars on the preliminary entry list for this weekend's Cup race. Here are our picks for Saturday night's NRA 500 in Fort Worth, Texas.Mid-Pack picksKurt Busch scored a victory for Penske Racing here in November 2009. Since then, he logged four top-13's in six Cup races, two for less-funded teams in 2012. Besides the win, in 20 TMS starts Busch has 12 top-10's including an eighth-place last fall with his current Furniture Row Racing team. He wants to move on from the disaster at Martinsville. He said: "We had a flat tire, got spun out, had a fuel pump issue and then ended the race in a fiery blaze due to a brake failure. Bring on Texas! Can't wait to get to that fast oval." Prior to Martinsville, Busch had two consecutive top fives (Bristol and Fontana). We think you will see the No. 78 Chevrolet SS running with the leaders this week.From our list of mid-packers (drivers entered in the race who are not in the top 15 in points and/or not track favorites), Mark Martin has the second-best average finish (13.9 in 24 starts) at this track. Martin hasn't pulled into the Fort Worth victory lane since 1998, but he has scored sixth or better in five of his last eight Cup starts at the track. He also scored the fourth-most driver points in those races. He has three Nationwide Series victories and a pole in nine starts here as well. Last week, subbing for Denny Hamlin, Martin took an unfamiliar car to a 10th place finish at Martinsville. This week he's back ride-sharing the No. 55 Toyota for MWR. Give the crafty veteran some serious consideration this week.We're going out on a limb this week with Martin's teammate, Brian Vickers. He hasn't raced at Fort Worth since 2011 and, in 14 career Cup races; his best finish was a 12th. Vickers is holding up his end of the deal in the No. 55 with finishes of eighth and 11th this year. At Texas Motor Speedway, he takes a turn subbing for Hamlin in the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota. The JGR team has two wins and an average finish of 10.9 in 14 races with Hamlin behind the wheel at this track. We feel that Vickers will be able to maintain that average here in Saturday night's event.Last week at Martinsville, we thought we hit the mark picking Martin Truex Jr.. He was running top-10 for about 180 laps until getting caught up in a multi-car wreck. This week, he said: "Texas is one of my favorite tracks. It's been a really good track for me in the past. I love that it's old and worn out. It's got some bumps in it." In 15 Cup starts, he has earned two poles (November 2007 and April 2012) and seven top-10 finishes. His three most recent starts resulted in eighth, sixth and 13th place finishes. Truex has a Sprint Cup average finish of 15.9 and a Nationwide Series (four races) average finish of 15.2 at Fort Worth. That's pretty consistent. Let's give the No. 56 Toyota Camry another chance on your fantasy roster in the Lone Star State.Bonus pick this week: Tony Stewart, 22nd in the points, is due for a turn-around!

You've been sitting around the house, eating greasy pizza, watching the NFL Network and avoiding your annoying girlfriend or wife. You haven't moved off the couch in 48 hours and your phone died, rendering your Twitter account worthless. Meanwhile, sports smack-talking maniacs have been using social media and other outlets to vent on fellow combatants. Athletes are fighting writers. Writers are fighting writers. Athletes are fighting fans. This is where Busted Coverage steps in on a weekly basis. The gatekeepers. If someone is in a sports-related war, we're all ears. If you know of a sports-related beef, we want to hear about it. There are no sports beefs too small for The Schoolyard editors. Try us. firstname.lastname@example.com Erin Andrews Responds To Guy With 9 Followers Fight Combatants: Erin Andrews and some Twitter scrub @BradRich51 Fight Details: Andrews tries to tweet about going to the gym and Twitter scrub can't let it go without a smartass comment. Don't mind Brad, he's a Jets and New York Rangers fan. Fight Scorecard: Andrews KO; Brad, being the true Twitter ***** he is, never responded to her question. Finally, A Fun Way For Cheerleaders To Settle Differences Fight Combatants: Pacific Palisades (CA) cheerleaders Fight Details: According to KTLA: A Palisades Charter High School student is claiming that her coach forced her to fight with another student after she had reported being bullied by her. The girls fought, resulting in scratches and a black eye. "I felt embarrassed and humiliated and ashamed," Cimone Holloway told KTLA. Holloway said she was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch with a back eye the last time she was supposed to cheer with her Pali High cheerleading squad. Cimone, a junior, said that she was at odds with a teammate over a boy. … "In that fight, I tripped over my foot and was on the floor and she was on top of me and again punching me. And sometime during that fight, she kicked me in the forehead." FINALLY! Handled perfectly by the cheerleading coach. Gotta beef with a teammate? Knuckle up. Get your ass kicked? Tough. Don't be a moron the next time. Fight Scorecard: Girl who told KTLA obviously lost the brawl. The Schoolyard Legend Swats Away Some Dork Fight Combatants: The guy who's never lost a Schoolyard fight vs. some Twitter scrub Fight Details: Dana White and Joe Rogan try to have an adult conversation and the Twitter cockroaches want to start beefing. Fight Scorecard: My God this Dana White guy never loses. Line up sports commissioners and he's top two. Flip a coin between White and Goodell. A Catholic Priest Vs. Indiana's Basketball Program Fight Combatants: Michigan State priest and anyone who roots for Indiana basketball or hates Catholic priests. Fight Details: Father Joe is known by his followers to drop some crazy sports rivalry tweets. He doesn't take himself too seriously. He likes to create some friendly Twitter beefs here and there. Then he dropped the "children" tweet. Of course Indiana was pissed off. Father Joe claims he was ultimately attacked with vicious pedophile hate messages. Oh, and Indiana beat Michigan State, 72-68, adding insult to injury. Fight Scorecard: Obviously Team Indiana Shutdown Corners In Twitter Beef Fight Combatants: Darrelle Revis, who's trying to get paid by the Jets, and the Seahawks Richard Sherman Fight Details: Richard Sherman, through two NFL seasons, has 12 INTs and four forced fumbles. Darrelle Revis, in the same period, had eight INTs and one forced fumble. Sherman is now calling himself the best corner in the league and Revis, who wants paid, says that's ridiculous. Sherman went on NFL Network Thursday morning and said, "I'm not gonna let (Revis) … call me a little girl." As for the tweets everyone is talking about, it was a decent war. Not Dockett-Ocho, but still pretty good. Fight Scorecard: Sherman, via decision. The guy gets out of a PED case, has an eight pick season and Revis didn't even play. Filed under: Schoolyard

Perhaps the most common cause of slow weight gain is related to mismanaged breastfeeding. The following are some ways to help your baby gain weight if breastfeeding management is the reason for the slow weight-gain pattern.
Several methods require assistance from a professional, such as a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) so you can use them correctly. Depending on your baby and the cause of the problem, some methods may work better than others. Also, discuss bottle nipple type with the IBCLC if you bottle-feed any supplement. Some types of bottle nipples are less likely to interfere with breastfeeding than others.
If breastfeeding is properly managed, yet the baby still is not gaining adequate weight, it is likely that some other factor is affecting milk production or the baby's ability to breastfeed effectively. Always consult your doctor in this case.

Henderson County has made a lot of progress under the leadership of Planning Director Anthony Starr. Now that he is leaving to take another job, county leaders should search for a new planning chief who, like Starr, combines professionalism with strong people skills.
Henderson County has made a lot of progress under the leadership of Planning Director Anthony Starr. Now that he is leaving to take another job, county leaders should search for a new planning chief who, like Starr, combines professionalism with strong people skills.
Starr announced last week he is resigning Dec. 13 to take a position as assistant executive director at Western Piedmont Council of Governments, which assists planning efforts in four Piedmont counties and 24 cities. It is a step up professionally for Starr, and a chance for him and his wife to move closer to their family in Hickory. But it�s a loss for our community.
During his six years here, Starr oversaw the transition from a patchwork of county land-use rules to true countywide zoning, and worked on initiatives in transportation planning, mapping, property addressing, public transit and code enforcement. The county adopted community plans for the Etowah-Horse Shoe, Edneyville and Dana areas and developed standards for rental housing, stormwater runoff and erosion control. Starr also worked to make it easier for contractors, businesses and do-it-yourselfers to obtain building permits at the Planning Department�s North King Street office.
One of the biggest projects recently has been beginning the process of overseeing $6 million in bonded work to finish roads and stop severe erosion in the bankrupt Seven Falls development. That project, and the county�s continuing growth and development, demand that county leaders find a new planning director who is experienced, passionate and trained to handle the challenges that come with the job.
Being knowledgeable and working well with people has served Starr and Henderson County well. These qualifications should be at the top of the list as county leaders look to hire the next planning director. Finding the right candidate will go a long way to helping the county build on the progress it has made in the last six years.
Speaking of progress, several recent news items bode well for our community�s ability to boost efficiency and protect the high quality of life that is the basis for our continued economic growth.
Commissioners approved the idea of contracting for an energy-efficiency audit of county facilities that would pay for itself through reduced energy use and savings on energy bills. Environmental Programs Coordinator Megan Piner says the county stands to save 10 to 20 percent per year on utility costs, which now run $719,000.
DuPont State Recreational Forest will get $277,000 to upgrade a vacant log building into a long-overdue visitor education center. Finally, the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come each year to see this crown jewel of area tourism will have a place to learn about the forest�s natural and cultural history. The funding is part of a $2.24 million settlement between North Carolina and the Tennessee Valley Authority over decades of air pollution from the TVA�s coal-fired electric plants.
Also, the N.C. Division of Water Quality awarded a $200,000 grant to the Mills River Partnership. The nonprofit group includes farmers, municipal water suppliers, conservationists and local governments working to protect and improve the Mills River, which supplies clean drinking water for more than 50,000 taps in the Hendersonville and Asheville water systems.
The two-year grant will fund �best management practices� � including vegetated stream buffers, reduced tillage, cover crops and other erosion controls � projected to keep about 925 tons of topsoil from washing into the river.
Flowing out of protected lands in Pisgah National Forest, the Mills River is known as one of the region�s cleaner streams, but it faces a number of threats. The river has been on and off a state list of impaired streams in the past due to pollution from silt and pesticides.
Unfortunately, the trout stream is expected to again be classified by the state as impaired from sediment pollution, says Shaun Moore, watershed coordinator for the Henderson County Soil & Water Conservation District.
Working with farmers, landowners and other stakeholders, the Mills River Partnership has been cited in the past as a model for cooperative efforts to protect and improve water quality. With the new state grant, the group has an opportunity to prove once again that environmental stewardship is most effective when it is homegrown.

Aqua ball filtration media - the ultimate in aquatic filtration. 1.5" pronged ball, 13.05 square feet of surface area per gallon.60 pcs equals 1 gallon
(information taken directly from the manufacture's website)
I started using these on my last tank set-up as I was looking for a cheaper alternative to biomax ceramic rings. They seem to provide the same amount of surface area for BB based on manufactures statements. They are however a lot harder to clean.
Should only be used in sump systems and not canister filters.------------------------------If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.

It could be.
Please understand that this problem will likely not be fixed anytime soon. QCAD reads TTF font files through Qt which uses the Freetype library as far as I know. Both libraries are 3rd party software which we cannot fix ourselves.

Strong and sturdy filter plates designed for maximum water flow. High collars ensure lift tubes stay in place. Flow spouts have built-in strainers to keep fish from getting under the filter plate.
It works ok, not the best a little outdated..
Used in the traditional way its ineffective, and can be detrimental.
Can be used with reverse flow via a powerhead(s) in which case, much more effective.------------------------------

Old technology, wouldn't buy it, but I used it in my tank for a while and seemed to work well, but the HOB is superior. You're better off investing in a HOB filter.
I have and use several of these. They work fine (if you keep them clean) and last longer between cleanings then the others like it. Yes, reverse flow is better, but I still use mine the old way (along with other stuff)
These filters can have they're pros but they are outweighed by its cons.

Quote:Leo,Expert witnesses or not, believe me a jury will normally make up its mind AS THE CHARGES ARE READ. Now I know that takes a lot of believing but it is true. Some of the reasons are these.1) They think: well the police/CPS wouldn't bring it to court if 'they' didn't think the accused was guilty.2) The police/CPS are much more experienced than we are.3) The accused ran off after the event, which tends to indicate guilt.4) The accused did nothing to render any assistance to the injured party.5) The accused didn't inform the police that they had done damage to the guy on the deck or stay to justify why they acted as they did.6) As No5, but didn't phone for an ambulance for the injured party.7) We are told that all these so called indicators took place, but there is no proof of such things happening on the video evidence, or in witness statements or testimony.8) The arresting officers had to establish the accused's identity and then find their place of abode, further indicating guilt.9) In the face of all these questions raised the accused denied the charges.10) The accused's 'body language' in the dock seems to be highly suspect.Juries are not alone in the manner they form conclusions. Can you remember the last time you went for a job interview? Well the person interviewing you made up their mind about you within the first ten/fifteen seconds of you walking into the room. The rest of the interview (how ever long it took) was spent with the interviewer looking for reinforcement of their initial impression. It wasn't spent with them looking for reasons for them to change their minds.Regards.MC.

Quote:Quote:I still don't understand how a person who has yet to make a move could be restrained though, I mean what would you be restraining them from? Drew mate, would you care to explain?Regards.MC. G'day MCPolice and security personnel do it all the time. You are restraining/preventing them from continuing their current course of action. In this sort of situation it would be preventing them from continuing their aggressive actions towards an individual. A course of action that you may reasonable believe would result in violence.
Quote:So, persons (A) & (D)are having an argument, person (A) is becoming very heated in defence of their viewpoint, swearing a lot, insulting person (D's) family etc. I'm sure you know the situation. Person (D) becomes concerned for their safety, but person (A) has given few physical indications of violence other than waving their hands around a lot like a windmill. (Cut off some peoples arms and they can't talk, I'm sure you know what I mean). Now, how can you restrain person (A) if they haven't given you a physical opportunity to do so? IE, they haven't gone to punch you or to kick you.MC.

Reliable canister filter. Comes in models XP1, XP2, XP3, AND XP4.
Very affordable and great canister filters. Very quiet and provides great filtration.
pretty good worth every penny and trustworthy
Not overly expensive. Very quiet and easy to clean! Water flow is superb. IF power outage will start up on its own.------------------------------
nothing better.Ive had an xp-2 in cont operation for over 4 yrs now.They aint cheap anymore though.
Absolutely love the Rena Filstar canisters. I am currently running a XP2 on my 29g, a XP3 on my 55g, and a XP4 on the 75g. Plenty of room for tons of media, I primarily load them full of floss and biomedia. Also have a valve to vary the flow, plus the option of a spray bar or just the nozzle. I modify my spray bars by taking the end cap off. Very easy to prime (except the XP4), would highly recommend (esp the XP3, love it!)------------------------------

Worth it. Only problem I'm having is, I've had a hard time finding a local store that sells the Rena brand, so I make alot of my own charcoal packs etc, or I get another brand. If I want Rena, I drive about 30 minutes.------------------------------Fish Hugger~
It's an addiction...deal with it!
Just received my XP3 today and I am quite pleased. Very easy to prime and extremely quiet. I love the versatility of this filter and the numerous options that are included with it. I was quite disappointed with the amount of biomedia that was included. There was a total of maybe 7 of the "stars" in the bag. I loaded all the other chambers with Ehfisubstrat instead. I wouldn't give it a full 10 simply because I have nothing but Eheims to compare it to, and I still find them to be better. But definitely a 9/10.------------------------------Considering a Marine Aquarium? A Breakdown of the Components, Live Rock, Cycling a Marine Tank

The Rena xp2 is the first large canister filter I've owned, and I would certainly consider buying another of this brand. I agree that the packet of "stars" that comes with it to be a joke, and also the dumb things FLOAT so they tend to go all over when I open the canister for cleaning. I replaced them all with Fluval ceramic bio-rings, which sink and stay where I put them.
Otherwise this is a great filter so far, and has lots of power. Mine has been in operation for about 4 months now (which isn't very long, I agree), but it has proved an excellent filter in that time. The only problems I've had with it were user-induced!!------------------------------Dragoon Woman

They have really good flow rate and large media capacity. I really like the spray bar that comes with the filter. The filter is easy to assemble and easy to maintain. Very quite filter as well. I would recommend this filter.

I use an XP3 on my 125 gallon. Very quiet and simple filtration system. Was completely seeded within a week on my 90 gal and went through zero mini cycle when hooked up to the 125. I love that you can pull the lever to turn it on and off during water changes, rather than unplug it. I will be adding an XP2 to the 125 as I am quite pleased with the product.
All in all its a very good filter. My water is crystal clear, with no floaties or anything.------------------------------
Google is your friend. Use it!!!
I bought the XP3 for my new 60 gallon tank after many recommendations and positive reviews from people on this website. I have always used HOB filters so I was intimidated about setting up this--my first--canister filter. I dont know what I was so afraid of. I watched (lol!) as my husband who knows nothing about anything aquarium-related set this thing up and it looked so easy. I am very happy with this purchase and although they are kind of expensive, shop around! I found mine for $159 online but didn't want to wait for it to be delivered and Petsmart price-matched for me. I bought this along with the Rena Air 300 pump which I also reviewed. I highly recommend this filter.------------------------------You can never have too many wheelbarrows.
I have an XP3 on my 75 gallon and love it. Easy to prime, easy to clean. Media pads are expensive but I often buy the bulk roll and cut my own to save a few bucks. Does a great job keeping the tank clean.------------------------------"Hard things take time to do. Impossible things take a little longer" Percy Cerutty
