Boys prepare for Bellevue
The Mercer Island boys basketball team used an exhibition win, 59-46, against an Australian junior national team on Monday to warm up for one of the biggest games of the year.
The Islanders will travel to Bellevue High School on Friday for an 8 p.m. tip off, taking on one of their biggest rivals and the No. 3 ranked team in the state.
But despite the ranking, a loss to Liberty has Bellevue second in the KingCo league. A win would give Mercer Island a big advantage in the race for the KingCo title.
The Islanders also played in an exhibition tournament over winter break, going 1-2 in the Seahawk Redondo Beach Classic in California.
Mercer Island began the tournament with a victory, 55-51, against the host team, Redondo Union. During the contest, Quinn Sterling (12 points) and Robbie Taylor (11) led Mercer Island in scoring.
But the Islanders would lose a heart-breaker against Millikan of Long Beach, Calif., 49-48. Mercer Island jumped out to a 16-9 lead during the first quarter but gradually let it slip away. Gabe Fruchter led the Islanders in scoring with 13 points as both Sterling and Peter Zajac scored in double figures.
Despite a 20-point fourth-quarter performance, the Islanders came up just short against North Torrance, Calif., 69-66, during their final game of the tournament.
Sterling again paced the Islanders with 17 points, while Fruchter had 15 and Jon Poli added 14 points.

Australian Churches Just Got The OK To Continue Banning Gays While Spending Tax Dollars
Even if they receive taxpayer dollars, religious groups in Australia's New South Wales can keep their anti-gay discrimination policies, a government review agency just decided. Which means it's about time everyone who hates the gays but wants their tax dollars starts calling themselves a "church."
The NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal sided with religious freedom over government mandate that federal and state funds not be used in the act of making gays second-class. Guess who's celebrating?
The ruling, made in the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal, has been hailed by the Catholic Church but has outraged civil libertarians, who are demanding religions no longer be exempt from anti-discrimination laws if they receive public money. The Council of Civil Liberties suggested more children might end up in orphanages because church-based service providers could now knock back couples who did not conform to their beliefs. … Cardinal George Pell [pictured] welcomed the decision and said churches must be able to choose who they wanted to use in the provision of services.
But the tribunal said in its report that the exiting exemption clauses for religious institutions, on which it based its decision, might best be revised by lawmakers who can pass new bills narrowing the wiggle room of church-led groups. The case, which has been seven years in the making, began when a gay couple were blocked from becoming foster parents by the Wesley Mission Australia, a Methodist-affiliated Uniting Church charity. But even the church acknowledges the ruling isn't the final say on the matter, and is destined to split the congregation: "From the liberal point of view, there will be parts of the church that will be disappointed with this decision," says a spokesman. "Generally though, the more conservative side of the church will be happy with the decision."
Australian Christianity is very conservative, especially compared to their Canadian cousins.
For instance, the Anglican Archdiocese of Sydney is the most conservative (socially, liturgically and theologically) in all of Anglicanism. They are far from pro-gay rights, even though a high percentage of its population is LGBT!Dec 27, 2010 at 8:53 pm · @Reply ·
Australia is a backward hole.
@Jason. "Australia is a backward hole.
Maybe. But I hope you're not writing from the USA, cos that is also a backward hole with regards to religion and gay equality.
But maybe I am mistaken in assuming you're writing from the USA
Gays pay taxes…launch a class action suit in the billions to make them rethink that…
wow, they found a way to make discrimination legal.. based on the money they receive. Interesting that they call themselves a church who follows the teachings and unconditional love of Jesus.
@ Tallskin
The US is backwards, I am from there and I proudly proclaim this. That is why I'm surprised about Australia, but then again I don't know very much about it over there.
and by proudly proclaiming the backwardness of the US, I mean I have no problem discussing how terrible it is here for people who are different. Race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, social economic status…
Over here Catholic and Christian institutions are firing employees based on sexual preferences. We are paying ethnic minorities less than whites for the exact same jobs, we are denying tenure to inspiring professors of different backgrounds. We are allowing Churches to protest at soldiers and other high profile funerals because they are "protected by the first amendment"
We are driving up the cost of a college education so that those less fortunate will remain less fortunate for the rest of their lives having to pay for an education that has less and less significance in this country.
we are shipping jobs overseas and waiting for every new cell phone, computer, gadget to make our lives easier while we rape 3rd world countries for their precious resources
our government is attempting to quiet those who are telling the truth about all the thousands of civilians we have killed. We are not being told the truth about why we are at war and why our boys and girls are dying.
Our television and media are becoming increasingly more diverse, yet each diverse character is somehow token and unreal. Shows depicting REAL life would be far too controversial. for Instance, if a show were to really display how gay youth experience high school, it would be beyond tragic. But it would open our eyes to how terrible we treat our lgbt neighbors. But since the US cannot condemn itself and its actions, we have lgbt shows that depict mostly happy, accepted and overly flamboyent youth.
See? Nothings wrong. We Love our gay youth. We accept our ethnic and racial minorities. We live by separation of Church and State. Except, we don't.
Please dont compare the USA and Australia. It's like comparing oranges and lemons, and Australia is no lemon.
Regarding George Pell, pay no attention to that fool.
a) He is old
b) is following the rules created by a stupid institution that follows the rants of a book that was created due to chinese whispers. [remember they wrote no books in the days of Jesus etc]
c) he is out of touch
d) he still believes that homos and pedophiles are the same thing.
If Australia is so great, why does the government give taxpayer money to private institutions such as private religious schools? This seems like a bizarre thing. Doesn't Australia have separation of church and state?
I think Australia is very backward in many ways. This notion that Australia is gay-friendly is garbage put out by the tourism industry. I avoid Australia on all my travels.

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan -- The county can't afford to expand its jail -- regardless of the area's crime emergency, the chairman of the county Board of Commissioners says.
"There's no discussion about that at all," said board Chairman Jamie Curtis. "(The long-term expenses are) bigger than bricks and mortar. The problem is (the daily expenses) after it's up and running."
But with revenues and property values still on the decline in the county, no one is pushing to take on the financial burden of building or operating a bigger jail.
An architectural firm estimated in 2007 that the county jail's 580-person capacity could be doubled by stacking two new floors on top of the existing building in downtown Flint at an estimated cost of $10 million.
"Too expensive -- that's what I've heard," said Sheriff Robert Pickell. "There's no question we need a bigger jail (but) I just don't think (it can happen) with the financial straits the county is in."
Pickell has said he could transfer about 90 inmates who have already been sentenced to the another county to serve their time -- clearing out room for others, including those charged in more then 47,000 outstanding warrants.
Michigan State Police Lt. Col.Dan Atkinson told The Flint Journal that more jail space is needed in the county so that police agencies can book those arrested, including those with outstanding warrants.
Atkinson said MSP is willing to double the number of troopers on patrol in Flint if there are jail cells to take those arrested to.
The existing jail, which opened in 1989, has been over-crowded almost since it opened, and the county closed a separate work release facility because so few inmates had jobs and qualified for it.
Pickell declared an overcrowding emergency in 2007, forcing the release of about 150 inmates and prompting the formation of the jail overcrowding task force that considered adding on to the jail.
The task force never issued a report or made recommendations.
Commissioners eventually decided they could afford that type of addition.
The Flint Journal has been unable to reach representatives of state offices that attended meetings on crime here recently.

Project Description:
Drift caused by wind and small droplets from ATV and backpack sprayers is important to understand, especially when spraying around riparian areas and sensitive foliage. The purpose of this field test is to evaluate several different spray nozzles and application methods for both backpack and ATV sprayers in order to determine the magnitude and pattern of spray drift. The goal is to use this test information to help validate the spray drift model AgDISP for ground application equipment such as ATVs and backpack sprayers. Testing will occur at MTDC using a small grid of Mylar and Kromekote cards, air samplers, and standard meteorological weather stations. Test analysis proposed to be performed by CH2M Hill.
Project Status:
A test procedure has been developed and is in review. The actual field test is scheduled for the summer of 2012 at MTDC.

my son is 1 month old and I have been BFing. He has always been gassy, but the last few days, he seems to be in so much pain!! He is still having a few dirty diapers a day, but is straining constantly and often passes a little gas after screaming. He won't let me put him down for more than a few minutes before crying, when he usually is fine laying by himself!! I"m giving him Mylicon drops but it doesn't seem to work.
Any other suggestions?? I would appreicate it!!

One of my favorite thing in fiction is the depiction of what we consider ''street level'' combat. I love the imagery of the fist flying, the bullet dodging, and the aiming and shooting. I've never been exactly a fan of series with characters with giant planet bursting bombs, omni-anything, or character that could blink something out of existence and I've always hated full on magic. So what better to show my appreciation for the street level characters then to make a tourney dedicated to them.
In this particular tourney you won't be necessarily just proving that your character can beat your opposing team you'll be proven whether or not your character can complete certain objectives before the opposing team.
So what are the limitation ?
- 5 characters
each one of these characters will have a different titles and set of limitations, so lets see.
Character 1: The Leader
This character is just your plain default character.
- 0-5 Tons
- Bullet Reaction Speed
- Wall - Normal Sized Car Striking feat
- Durability: Should be susceptible to 2 tonner damage + effected by bullets
Character 2: Shooter
This character will HAS to normally use long distance projectile based weapons,and some type of armor.
- up to 3 tons
- bullet reaction speed
- Armor - Can at best Tank a missile
- damage feat has to mostly do with the character's weapons
Character 3: Close Range Weapons/Fighter
This character has to primarily use close range(mostly hand held weapons and such)
- 0-4 tons
- bullet timing reactions
- Can take 3 tons worth of damage
- large pillar busting hits
(basically your like your leader character with a weapon)
Character 4: Trump Card
He's da best
- up to 10 ton
- machine gun reactions
- durability can take small building bursting attack
- small building bursting attack
Character 5: Unusual Guy
This guy has to have some type of unusual ability and or appearance
- 5 ton
- machine gun reaction
- truck bursting limit
- can get hit by a truck(limit)
Question you might ask
Will there be prep
yeah not all round tho
can I have powers outside of the specific character motif
Well...kinda as long as your character fits the range and specifics then he can have abilities outside what was covered ex. Let see if you wanted Zuko for close range, that's okay since he still wield blades.
When is each round over with
When I stop them...(1-2 weeks)
is tp or tk allowed
Tk: you can't lift more then 5 tons worth of things and your powers only work on non living think.
Tp: Only can read minds nothing more.
and please if you guys don't think you can be in the tourney plz don't join serious I don't want to have threads without any post from both side.
what powers don't you want
blood bending, soul catching/killing, probability/luck powers, reality warping, intangibility,phasing, tp dismembrament,time control. stuff like this this is WHAT I DON'T WANT
What about Healing Factor
We're doing vampire rules, character can regenerate from any thing except decapitation or a shot to the brain.
STREET LEVEL to Low low mid tier don't be a jerk.

NEW ULM - The River Bend Education District, headquartered in New Ulm, might be one of the best kept secrets around.
Lack of information has the potential of breeding misconceptions; which is, in part, why I recently sat down with several River Bend staff members, to discuss some of the things the public might not be aware of, as regards River Bend; and some of the things that make this school district special.
The panel included Erin Toninato, special education coordinator at the River Bend Education District; Doug Hazen, coordinator of the program for students with emotional/behavior disorders (EBD); Chris Bodick, technology coordinator; Synova Nelson, Area Learning Center coordinator; and Linda Wintz, special education director.
Article Photos
River Bend students work on art projects.
River Bend Education District administrators from left: Erin Toninato, Doug Hazen, Chris Bodick, Synova Nelson and Linda Wintz. Not pictured is Jennifer Rose.
As each panelist discussed the programs they oversee, they painted a picture of a wide-scope system, quite different from what many expect.
(The top photo used in this story reflects only one aspect of the River Bend, the Area Learning Center. Some other sections, such as the EBD program, cannot be photographed because of state privacy regulations.)
One of the interesting things about River Bend is its sheer scope.
The River Bend Education District, which in many ways resembles any other independent school district in the state, is actually a cooperative effort among several geographically close school districts. These include seven independent school districts and three charter schools (among them, New Ulm and Sleepy Eye).
The River Bend district serves a 90-mile radius.
Overall, it serves about 1,100 actual students that receive special education, and an approximate total of approximately 2,000 students (some students served do not receive special education); in 17 school buildings.
In this respect, Toninato, one of the panelists, has a key role.
She oversees the delivery of special education services in member districts, in part making sure they comply with state regulations. (The vast amount of paperwork related to special education is done on computer systems administered by Bodick.)
Toninato supervises itinerant special education professionals such as speech, occupational and physical therapists, school psychologists, early childhood special education, and autism, hearing and vision specialists.
The River Bend building in New Ulm is a base for these professionals - and it is also home to on-site programs for students.
Program for kids with emotional, behavior disorders
The program for kids with emotional and/or behavior disorders, supervised by Hazen, offers a "combination" therapeutic-educational setting. It serves the students' mental health, as well as schooling, needs.
Typically, the kids are in therapy for about three hours a day, and in class for about four hours a day.
Students may attend individual, group and family therapy sessions.
Individual needs vary.
There are generally about 25 kids in grades K-12 in this program.
The students in the program are served by mental health therapists and practitioners, as well as licensed EBD teachers and paraprofessionals.
Unlike another on-site program at River bend, the Area Learning Center, the EBD program, points out Hazen, is not intended as a long-term solution, especially since it includes elementary students. Students remain in it for a varying duration (nine months is a fairly typical time limit), but the goal is, generally, for the students to re-integrate into their home districts.
Area Learning Center - an alternative to larger schools
In contrast, the Area Learning Center (ALC), supervised by Nelson (whose job is analogous to that of a school principal), is an educational alternative. Or, as some might rather phrase it, it is "a choice high school."
Contrary to one lingering perception, the ALC is not a school for kids who "got kicked out" of their home district.
Yes, many of its students may have a reason to attend it.
One common reason, for example, would be bullying. A typical scenario: a student would fall victim to bullying and would grow reluctant to attend school; the student's attendance would suffer as result, and a counselor, teacher, or someone else would suggest the ALC's as an alternate school.
Some teen parents attend River Bend; as could students dealing with an illness, who may be "shunned" because of it.
Nelson would like to think that "our students tend to be more accepting - they accept each other exactly for who they are."
Nelson says that the ALC is a viable choice for students who fare better in smaller educational settings.
"It's more like a family environment," providing students and teachers with a chance to "connect better," says Nelson.
The River Bend ALC offers a block schedule with a smaller number of subjects daily. Some students focus better that way - versus dividing their attention among six or eight subjects during the school day, Nelson adds.
The ALC may also be a choice for students who prefer more hands-on, project-based learning - versus a more auditory/lecture styles that may be more common in larger classrooms.
Another benefit - the school brags an almost 1 to 1 ratio of students to computers (counting laptops), and thanks to Bodick, they get a lot of use in the classroom, administrators say.
Yet, it is still "just a school"
Yet, in many ways, the ALC is just like any other school. Students are taught by state-licensed teachers; and they also have to meet the same graduation standards as any public school students.
In fact, students (usually freshmen and sophomores) may return to their home schools; and all are issued diplomas by their respective home districts, rather than by River Bend.
In other ways, too, River Bend is like many other schools. Students get involved in community service projects (Meals on Wheels, Adopt a Highway, leadership programs). They enjoy guest speakers (one, former Gophers' running back Tommy Watson, is coming up April 6, an event open to the public).
Students can leave the campus for college classes, if they wish; and can join athletic programs in their home schools (they do lack a "proper" gym at River Bend).
The ALC has 50-plus students; served by 13 staff, including seven licensed teachers (not all are full-time).
Collaboration is key
Wintz, whose job roughly mirrors that of a superintendent, emphasizes another aspect of the River Bend Education District: its collaborative nature.
It is a cooperative effort that achieves various efficiencies for the member districts. (River Bend is run by a board made up of representatives of the member districts, much like a traditional school board.)
In addition, mental health services are provided under a joint-powers accord with county authorities, which helps pay for these programs.
River Bend also makes it possible for member districts to maintain some programs that the public does not associate with it, at all.
"Targeted services" that touch many kids throughout its service area - summer school, before and after-school programming - are run (and funded) through River Bend.

Issues of consent and feedback in a genetic epidemiological study of women with breast cancer

Women (N=21) who had had breast cancer and had been enrolled in a large genetic breast cancer epidemiological study were interviewed about their experience of participation in the study, their attitudes to the confidentiality of data, and the feedback of personal and general research results. Collection of family history information seemed more salient in indicating the genetic nature of the study than the enrolment information sheet. There were no concerns about confidentiality.
While participants would have welcomed general feedback about the results of the study and were critical that this had not been provided, the feedback of personal information proved complicated and, sometimes, difficult. It is suggested that individual feedback of genetic test information in epidemiological studies should be undertaken only when there are specific reasons.

AUBURN, N.Y. - The Jamestown Jammers suffered their second straight defeat at the hands of the Auburn Doubledays, 3-0, Monday night at Falcon Park in New York-Penn League baseball.
After erupting for nine runs in six innings Sunday, the Jammers offense slumped as the team failed to string hits together. Despite the loss, Jamestown (15-10) maintained its one-game lead over Mahoning Valley, and the Doubledays are also now just a game back.
Jamestown had a chance to take an early lead on the Doubledays yet again in the top of the fourth inning when Terrence Dayleg doubled with one out to place runners at second and third. However, a strike out and fly out ended the Jamestown threat to keep the score tied.
The Doubledays would capitalize on Jamestown's failure to score with two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Matt Skole roped a double and scored on an Angelberth Montilla single.
Montilla then came in on a single by Caleb Ramsey after stealing second base.
The Jammers would threaten again in the sixth as the first two runners reached base, but a fly out and double play ended that opportunity. A twin killing in the seventh inning would also ruin Jamestown's attempt to rally.
In the bottom of the seventh, Auburn would strike again as Connor Rowe singled and stole second base. He scored on a fielding error to make it 3-0.
The Jammers couldn't mount a comeback attempt in the ninth inning to give Matthew Neil his second loss of the season. He went five innings, gave up six hits and two earned runs with six strikeouts.
Outfielder Brent Keys extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a pair of singles, while Jobduan Morales had two hits including a double for the purple and green. Eddie Rodriguez also had a two bagger.
Montilla paced Auburn with a 3- day with three hits. Skole belted a double and four other Doubledays had hits. Manny Rodriguez got the win to improve to 1-1 after tossing five shutout frames.
The Jammers will have their first off day of the season Tuesday before kicking off an eight-game home stand by hosting the Hudson Valley Renegades Wednesday.

A federal grand jury has indicted three men in a drug trafficking conspiracy after they were caught at Lakeside Shopping Center with almost 1,000 tablets of ecstacy.
A confidential informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration set up the deal that ended with the arrest of Minh Tran, 24, of New Orleans, Lionell Adams, 24, of LaPlace and Joseph Sanders, 30, of Jackson, Miss., according to court records.
The informant called Adams on Jan. 31 and arranged to buy the tablets for $5,000, DEA agent Chad Scott said in a. They met the next day at the Metairie mall, and soon Sanders and Tran showed up, according to the affidavit. Investigators arrested the three and said they found Adams with one tablet and Tran's car with 939 in the glove compartment.
They also found 24 grams of cocaine in Sanders' vehicle, the affidavit says.

Claims Dickson could be divisive force on council
The many attack ads by Darrel Dickson, in his attempt to unseat Councilman Richard Elfers, bring to Enumclaw the same politics of poison – lies, half-truths and innuendo – that have already corrupted our state and federal races. He accuses all the Enumclaw council members of a "lack of vision" but is not willing to share with us his vision. He blasts Councilman Elfers' voting record as if Mr. Elfers votes were any different from the votes of other council members. He belittles the many hours that Mr. Elfers and our other council members devote to the tough decisions needed to maintain our city services with fewer dollars available each year.
Darrel Dickson's employee, Chance La Fleur, will take a seat unopposed on our city council giving Mr. Dickson two votes on any city issue. Having already insulted the other council members, the poisonous atmosphere he has created will make it very difficult to work with him to solve the serious financial problems that face our city. We could see the same divisiveness that has gridlocked our national government for months.
Do we really want this type of politician to infect our Enumclaw City Council?

From SFist
January 25, 2006
By Eve Batey
One of Aziz Ansari's flagship jokes involves our publisher Gothamist. The opening sentence of an interview with Aziz described him as, "the nerdy guy you went to high school with, and doesn't do too much to negate that image once he takes the stage."
Aziz's proactive approach to counter this possible image marring bit of PR was to implore his fans to post on their blogs and websites "Aziz Ansari is a f**king badass" up to the point when people begin to google his name, the system will ask, "did you mean, Aziz Ansari is a f**king badass?"
It was a delight to see Aziz, who recently performed at the Punch Line, as part of the SF Sketechfest, but also as his maiden performance in San Francisco. We were fans of Aziz since about July, when we found a link to the series of web-shorts he did with Rob Huebel (that's the inconsiderate cell phone man to you), Shutterbugs, about two movie agents (Ansari and Huebel) who represent toddlers in the cut-throat world of Hollywood. Some may even say it is because of Shutterbugs our obsession with Channel 101 and Channel 102 (site where Shutterbugs was hosted) blossomed.
What impressed us about his performance was the multimedia approach to his stand-up, with projector in tow, he opened up his set up by showing all three episodes of Shutterbugs, and showing a video of him blasting "the sh*ttest mixtape ever made" in Manhattan, to playing a recording of a phone conversation between him and his mom on why he punched a wall.

California school district drafts revisions to its search and seizure policies under threat of lawsuit
According to the La Canada Valley Sun, La Canada Unified School District (LCUSD) is revising its policies after the constitutionality of the school district's search and seizure practices were questioned by a parent who is a career federal public defender. LCUSD's officials [in 2009] conducted an unannounced search of students' personal items, such as backpacks, using drug-sniffing dogs at La Canada High School. After the dogs were brought on-campus, students were told to leave their backpacks and other belongings behind in the classroom. They were taken to another location on campus while the dogs sniffed the area and the students' personal items.
Attorney Guy Iversen, the father of two sons at LCHS who were subject to that search, addressing the school board, said, "Technically, if you don't have justification, that's a kidnapping," Iversen said. He contends the search violated students' rights because "when they were separated from their personal belongings against their will — without reasonable suspicion — their constitutional rights were violated." According to Iversen, he's been in negotiations with LCUSD for the past three months regarding a potential lawsuit. He has indicated that he will work with the district, provided it agrees to three actions: remedial sanctions, a written letter of apology to his sons and that he be allowed to address LHS's students in an assembly to educate them about their rights.
LCUSD's assistant superintendent of human resources, Wendy Sinnette, acknowledged that the practices weren't legal and that was one of the reasons for making the revisions. Although the revisions focused on four main changes to the policy, the school board rejected the proposed changes because of concerns about how the changes were written.
First, student lockers would be subject to search at any time "with or without reasonable individualized suspicion," as they are district property. Second, metal detectors could be used to search individuals on or off campus at school activities. The third proposed change would allow trained detection canines to come on campus unannounced "to sniff out and alert to substances prohibited by law or district policy." The dogs wouldn't be permitted into classrooms or district facilities unoccupied by students; and students couldn't be forced to leave personal belongings behind for the dogs to sniff. Another proposed change stated that canines would only be allowed to sniff a student, patron, visitor or any other individual on district property if there was an "objectively reasonable suspicion" they were in the possession of contraband.
Iversen criticized the proposed revisions as being "so screwed up" because they don't meet the goal of aligning with the law. Joel Peterson, a school board member, admitted the proposed revision to the policy was poorly crafted.

[Editor's Note: The use of drug-sniffing dogs as means of combating drug use in schools can result in opposition from students, parents and the community. An analysis of four recent court decisions addressing drug detection dog searches at school is available to COSA members at the first link below; a companion article is available at the second link.
In September 2010, Courthouse News Service reported that the parents of two Springfield Public Schools (SPS) high school students had filed suit against SPS in federal court after the students were subjected to a school-wide drug search by local law enforcement officers. Mellony and Douglas Burlison's suit named SPS, along with a number of school officials and the local sheriff, as defendants. According to the suit, during the third period at Central High School (CHS), the principal announced on the loudspeaker "that the school was going into 'lockdown' and that students may not leave their classrooms." The suit also charges that at that time, deputies of the Greene County Sheriff's Office were present at CHS along with dogs, "at the invitation of SPS and CHS administrators." A summary of the article, including links to further stories on drug-sniffing dogs, is available at the third link below.]

PEORIA, Arizona - Former Faith Academy and Auburn star Josh Donaldson hit two home runs today that won't count. The Oakland Athletics third baseman cracked the pair of four-baggers in a spring-training game against the Seattle Mariners that was called because of rain in the fourth inning.
Even though the homers won't show up in Donaldson's Cactus League stats, the game showed he'll have some life in his bat this spring.
Maybe it was the jersey. Donaldson came into the game 1-for-20 in eight spring-training contests, then cracked a two-run homer and a solo shot, all while wearing No. 98 instead of his usual No. 20.
"I forgot my jersey," Donaldson told reporters.
The rain also affected former St. Paul's star Jake Peavy. Rather than wait around to see what the rain would do for his second spring start against the San Diego Padres, the Chicago White Sox pitcher worked three innings in a simulated game against teammates. It turned out the game against the Padres was called after three innings.
"I got just as much or more out of that than any spring game that I'll pitch in," Peavy told The Associated Press. "It was a structured environment, so I was able to use the pitches I needed without the plan being changed by the hitter. I kept up a good pace and threw hard. I'm glad we were able to get it in and get some work done without resorting to a batting cage. It was a good day today."
Another former St. Paul's standout did make his start on the mound tonight, but Kyle McPherson was roughed up by the Baltimore Orioles in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 6-3 loss.
In his second outing of the spring, McPherson gave up four runs on six hits in three innings. The Orioles scored three runs against McPherson in the third, when he hit the leadoff batter and walked the next hitter. McPherson walked one and struck out three in the game.
St. Louis third baseman David Freese, a former South Alabama star, returned to the Cardinals' lineup after sitting out most of the week with a bruised tailbone. Freese had a hit and a walk in three trips to the plate and scored two runs in the Cardinals' 16-10 victory over the Washington Nationals.
Also in action today was Mobile native and ex-USA standout Juan Pierre, who went 1-for-3 in the Miami Marlins' 6-1 victory over the New York Mets.

Kogut, 55, who ran unsuccessfully for district attorney 20 years ago, made the announcement from his 92 Magnolia Terrace home. He becomes the fifth candidate to enter the Democratic primary for the office.
Hampden District Attorney William M. Bennett, who has held the office for the past two decades and to whom Kogut lost by 418 votes in 1990, announced in December that he would not seek re-election.
"I truly believe that I am the only outsider," Kogut said in making his announcement. "Everyone else who is a candidate has some tie or some connection to that office."
Other candidates who have formally announced for the Democratic primary include two current assistant district attorney Stephen E. Spelman, of East Longmeadow, and James R. Goodhines, of Longmeadow, a former prosecutor who is now in private law practice, Brett J. Vottero, of Wilbraham, and state Sen. Stephen J. Buoniconti, D-West Springfield, a former assistant district attorney to Bennett.
Another former prosecutor, Mark G. Mastroianni, of Westfield, who is also now in private practice, is running as an independent candidate.
Kogut ran as a Democrat in the heated four-way primary that saw Bennett wind up the victor for the office he pledged to hold for only two terms.
Kogut said he still has the "same fervor, same commitment" he had when he first ran. He said he does not believe that the district attorney's office is political, but accepts the process that in this state the post is an elective, and not appointive, office.
In his announcement, Kogut said, "Now more than ever, we need a district attorney who is not only tough on crime but smart on crime as well."
"In recent weeks, we, as a community, have experienced the tragic loss of life of our young people through senseless acts of violence. We have seen the tragic effects of peer pressure and bullying on our children," Kogut said. "We have witnessed the victims, the pain their families and friends endure as a result of violence, guns, gangs, drugs, domestic violence and sexual assaults. We know the social and economic toll that crime and the fear of crime takes on our community."
Kogut, born and raised in Ludlow, has lived for more than 25 years in Springfield with his wife Deborah L. Kogut. They have two children, Michael D. Kogut, 28, and Kathryn E. Kogut, 25.
Kogut is currently associated with the Springfield firm of O'Connell Plumb & Mackinnon. He was previously a partner in the law firm of Murtha Cullina, of Boston, and Hartford, Stamford and New Haven, Conn., serving as a member of that firm's health law group representing while collar defendants in state and federal courts.
In 1996 Kogut was appointed by then state Attorney General Scott Harshbarger as the state's first assistant attorney general for elder protection. In that role, Kogut said, he advanced the national elder protection initiatives in health care, finance, legal and consumer areas. From 1991 to 1996 Kogut had served as an assistant attorney general, overseeing the Medicaid Fraud Unit.
Kogut has a bachelor's degree in political science summa cum laude from Springfield College. He holds a law degree from Western New England College School of Law where he has served as adjunct faculty member.
Among the initiatives he would pursue, if elected, are a program with area law firms, similar to one in Suffolk County, in which "law firms basically share young lawyers to volunteer, prosecute in the district attorney's office."
He said he finds it surprising and disappointing that Bennett's is the only district attorney's office in the state without a Web site, a move he believes is necessary to keep the public informed.
"We need to engage the community. It needs to be transparent, interactive," Kogut said. "We need to reach the residents of the county. We need to reach victims."
"I think the DA needs to be more involved, more visible," Kogut added. "I intend to work more closely with our educators."
"I will hire young, dedicated assistant (district attorneys) who are going to do more than just prosecute cases and prosecute crimes," he said. "I'm going to expect them to have a certain degree of their own commitment to this community and their own commitment to our youth, to our gang problem and to the other problems confronting our county."

I've joined NetFlix to watch all the sci-fi shows I've missed out on. I'm sci-fi channel deprived.
First saw a bunch of people riding horses like crazy, going fast then saw them running into a spaceship. Then I was hooked on Firefly. Caught part of it at my dd's one day. Then got the DVDs and the movie.
I'm still in season one of the new Dr. Whos. I'm not too concerned about them switching female leads. That's okay because they also used to change out the Doctors, too. They'd regenerate and use an different actor. Tom Baker was my favorite from the old series.
NetFlix has skipped over Farscape in the middle of season 3 on me. Very alien. Odd to watch a show with only one human.
Love all things to do with hyperspace (which is basically any space that's more than 3D). I'm actually trying to understand all the current scientific theories about hyperspace/wormholes, etc.
Did you know it's been theorized that Jesus is multidimensional? That's how He entered a room without using either windows or doors. Also explains the "rapture" as believers are phased into another dimension.

text: You should already know by now how much we love Maison Kitsuné and their ability to blend a traditional western aesthetic with a sleeker, more modern European silhouette. (I mean, duh, that's why we were more than happy to take it for a joy ride last month.) Their new S/S 13 collection doesn't disappoint, bringing with it clean, strong lines and a sophisticated, but not "preppy" look. Hell, Kitsuné even describes their own collection as being inspired by "the West Coast athletic man as an elegant city gentleman." That sounds like us. Yeah, exactly like us.

Foot ferry extension sought
The city councils of Bremerton and Port Orchard have drafted a letter to Kitsap Transit encouraging the agency to consider extending weekend hours of the foot ferry.
Following passage of Initiative 695, Kitsap Transit trimmed service in several arenas, including evening and weekend runs of the foot ferry connecting Port Orchard and Bremerton.
This is a small step to try to reinstate some of it, Councilman Fred Chang said.
Chang mentioned that consumers may use the foot ferry to visit the downtown areas of Port Orchard and Bremerton, and find themselves stranded if theyre not aware of the limited weekend hours.
He said many people come over for the farmers market, or other amenities in downtown Port Orchard, then stay for dinner.
The letter said the ferry becomes more important as the economic engines gain strength.
In this light, and to promote the economic ties between Bremerton and Port Orchard, the city councils have come together and agreed that additional service is essential to continued momentum, the letter states.
Staff at the Port Orchard City Hall drafted the letter, and Mayor Kim Abel is collecting signatures before mailing it.
The letter will be signed by Abel, Councilman Rick Wyatt, Mayor Cary Bozeman of Bremerton and Councilman Will Maupin of Bremerton.
Port Orchard Councilman John Clauson, who also serves as Kitsap Transits service development director, said Kitsap Transit is already examining the possibility of extending services throughout the organization, but said a tight budget restrains the process.
Clausons responsibility includes all of the service routes and schedules.
Kitsap Transit is identifying potential sources of revenue that might allow something like that to happen, Clauson said. We currently have nothing in the budget for expansion, nor is there anything for service expansion in the next couple years. It would require us to go through the system and see if there isnt areas where we could find some savings. That is something that we certainly better take a look at.
Clauson said extending services is not a simple adjustment to schedules. Beyond staffing and fueling the ferry, Kitsap Transit is required to offer door to door services for riders with disabilities, so service extension would include extending those services, as well.
Port Orchards City Council discussed drafting a letter at the April 23 meeting. At that time, Clauson decided to abstain from any vote or conversation, due to his close involvement with Kitsap Transit and the matter at hand.
Legally, I could have participated in the discussion, since I dont gain anything financially, Clauson said. I didnt want to influence the discussion by throwing my two cents in. I wanted the city to express their opinion without that kind of influence.

[Produced by Rick Rubin and Beastie Boys]
Now here's a little story I've got to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history
With Ad-Rock, M.C.A. (and me) Mike D
Released in 1986 on Licensed to Ill, this song helped make the Beastie Boys–it's the tale of how they got acquainted. The title is a little misleading, as it has nothing to do with the American figure, Paul Revere; that's just the name of Adrock's horse. Reportedly, the inspiration for this song came when the Beastie Boys were waiting outside a recording studio for Run-DMC, and Joseph Simmons, aka Run, came booking down the street, screaming incoherently. When he reached the Beastie Boys, he said, "Here's a little story I got to tell…" And from there, the two groups collaborated on the lyrics.
It's produced by Rick Rubin, and is remarkable for the 808 drumbeat played in reverse.
"That backwards 808? If I think right, it was actually Joe, Run, from Run-DMC. It was his idea to flip the tape up. He was there, like, 'Hey, y'all should flip the tape around so that shit's backwards.' Either that, or we had it on backwards and he heard it, he bugged out, and that's when he said, 'Y'all have to do a story rhyme over the shit.' And he came in started writing the shit with us." –Michael Diamond, 1995
The track was co-produced by Beastie Boys, engineered by Steve Ett, and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Beastiemania reports that "Paul Revere" has been performed in 105 known concerts.
1st Known Performance: 12.26.1986 — Ritz, The, New York, US
Last Known Performance: 6.12.2009 — Great Stage Park, Manchester, TN, US
Check Jay-Z's rendition of "No Sleep till Brooklyn" at the All Points West music festival, Jersey City, NJ in Summer 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i04MN0oD6co
And Here's The Roots from Picnic 2012
RG would like to give props to Sweet Juniper!…

Using a Time Out to Discourage Your Dog's Misbehavior
By Jess Rollins
Copyright Info
A Time Out (TO) can be used to reduce "rude" behaviors like playing too rough, and non-fearful barking. The most important thing to remember about the TO is that it should be used sparingly. Removing your dog from his social circle is a punishment to him and punishments can have side-effects. One possible side-effect with the TO is that he decides that your walking towards him is a "bad thing", because it sometimes leads to him being put in time out. This is why it is best to use the TO in moderation and put more effort into prevention and teaching him manners using rewards.
How to use a TO:
Decide on a location for the TO. Choose one that your dog will find boring - neither scary nor wonderful and is safely puppy-proofed. Possible examples of time out spaces are a tether, gated pantry, spare room, or bathroom.
Decide exactly what misbehavior you will be timing him out for. Let other family members know how to follow your plan. If the TO is applied inconsistently, it will take much longer to work. Do your best to set up the situation so that he is fairly likely to succeed and is not just getting frustratingly timed out over and over again.
When your dog misbehaves give him a warning by calmly saying something like "enough".
If he stops what he was doing, let him know he did the right thing by saying something like "thank you".
If he continues to misbehave, calmly say something like "time out" every few seconds as you go to him. Avoid looking him directly in the eye when you walk towards him, as that can be intimidating. Grasp his collar or drag line (use a drag line if he is difficult to catch) and walk him gently, but decisively, to his TO space. Place him there for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes have passed, if he is calm, release him from his TO space. If he is not calm, walk away for another few seconds before attempting to release him again.
The frequency of the misbehavior should begin to decrease after applying the TO about 5 times. In order to permanently change his behavior, keep applying the TO each time the misbehavior occurs.
If your dog tries to avoid having you catch him after you say "time out", that's understandable and tends to lessen with time. Just calmly continue after him while repeating "time out" every few seconds until you succeed in putting him in TO (and then put a drag-line on for next time). Of course, you is not rewarded for evasive maneuvering.
After you are seeing some success with this technique you can leave out the warning cue "enough" and skip directly to timing him out.
Trouble Shooting.
The TO will only be effective if you are very consistent with applying it. This is definitely a case for putting effort in early to save work in the long run.
Make double-sure that you and your family are following through with all of the steps each time your dog does the misbehavior.
Make sure that your TO space is boring. If he really enjoys going to his TO area, then there will be no reason for him to stop misbehaving. If he is frightened of the TO space or by being taken by his collar to TO, then he may be too stressed to learn the lesson well and for him it may be best to focus on prevention and teaching an acceptable behavior.
If your dog is trying to obtain something through the misbehavior you are timing out, make sure that you are timing him out before he gets what he was after. For example, if he eats a steak off of the counter, a TO following that great treat will probably not have any effect on future "counter surfing" attempts.
Misbehavior that he has been repeating for years will take longer to diminish using the TO.

County plans to cut bus service, explore alternatives
Some of Vashon's lesser-used bus trips may be cancelled as soon as next year under a King County plan to replace bus service in less populated areas with more cost-effective transportation such as shuttles or carpools.
The plan, which identifies Vashon as one of three sites for pilot projects, was forwarded to the King County Council for approval last week.
"It's really thinking outside the box of a big bus driving down the highway delivering people where they want to go," said Joe McDermott, who represents Vashon on the county council. "It's a real opportunity for Vashon to be a trailblazer in the county for how we might do this."
Tim Johnson, who chairs the Vashon-Maury Island Community Council, however, said he was troubled by the lack of public input into the formation of the plan and questioned whether it would work on the Island.
"I have a hard time envisioning something that would cost less and get people where they're going," Johnson said. "The alternatives sound nice, but I just don't think it's feasible."
The plan is being driven by Metro's ongoing financial woes. Matt Hansen, who heads the county project, said the transit agency is looking to cut its budget in anticipation of a $60 million shortfall next year, mostly due to falling revenue from the sales tax.
Last year the county council approved a two-year $20 license tab renewal fee that sustained Metro service through next summer. But unless the state Legislature finds a way to fill the deficit when the fee expires, Hansen said, the transit agency will be forced to cut the equivalent of 600,000 service hours county-wide.
If cuts are required, the changes will come first to Vashon, the Snoqualmie Valley and Southeast King County, the three rural areas selected for a pilot project. The county will start the process by exploring the elimination of bus trips in the three areas that have the lowest ridership, those in the bottom 25 percent county-wide. On Vashon, those include early morning, mid-day and evening trips on routes 118 and 119.
In its 70-page report, the county suggested several ways to meet a community's transportation needs if bus trips are cut and promised community participation will factor into those discussions. For instance, Vanpools, or county-sponsored carpools in Metro vans, are already in use all over the county. A shuttle subsidized by the county and operated by a local organization could fill in when buses don't serve. And the county's Dial-a-Ride Transit vans could serve regular routes and be booked for trips in advance.
More unorthodox options in the report include bike renting, car sharing and contracting with school buses to transport adults as well.
"We're not going to leave people without service," Hansen said. "It might look different, and we hope it will cost less, but they won't be left with nothing."
Hansen said the county would determine what options worked best for Vashon through a public feedback process that would likely include multiple public meetings.
"If your trip is to get you to a ferry terminal during commute hours, maybe we do something different with a fleet of vans," he said.
Hansen said that just because a bus trip has low ridership doesn't mean it will be cut. He also said the county wouldn't cut runs if there was significant resistance from Vashon residents.
"The plan proposes a process, rather than a table for saying, 'This route here,'" Hansen said. "Metro always has a list of the bottom 25 percent performing routes, and there will always be a compelling reason to not have some of those services eliminated."
About a year ago the county approved the creation of a five-year plan to implement alternative transportation. Metro is now waiting on the county council to approve Metro's proposed process for identifying and implementing the bus alternatives.
According to Metro's plan, submitted to the council last Friday, the agency held several meetings at the beginning of the year to inform and get feedback from representatives of those who may be affected by the new plan. A list of 80 so-called stakeholders the county reached out to included city public works directors, social services providers and representatives of schools and large employers such as Boeing. Vashon, however, was not represented at any of the meetings.
VMICC's Johnson is listed as a stakeholder for Vashon, but he said he was never invited to the meetings and hadn't even heard of the plan until contacted by The Beachcomber.
"That is news to me," he said of the stakeholder meetings.
Rochelle Ogershok, a communications specialist with the county's Department of Transportation, said Johnson should have received multiple emails about the meetings. Johnson said he received a Metro email thanking stakeholders for their involvement but nothing prior to that.
Johnson said he was most concerned that there seemed to have been very little communication with Vashon residents about a plan that could significantly alter Metro service on the Island. He said the situation reminded him of the recent installation of rumble strips on Vashon Highway, a decision made by the county with little to no communication with Islanders.
"I can't speak for everybody, but the vast majority of people I talk to feel like they're being ruled by an absentee landlord who makes decisions that affect you," he said.
In April, a large group of county staff came to Vashon to present the new Community Service Area (CSA) program — a program to engage citizens of unincorporated King County and replace the community council model. At the meeting, staff also gave information on several current and upcoming county projects on the Island. The rumble strip project wasn't mentioned, Johnson said, and neither was the alternative transportation plan, although both were well under way. The transportation plan was listed briefly in a 16-page document handed out at the meeting.
"It seems like the CSA meeting ended up being more about glad-handing and talking about the future than it was actually using the opportunity to inform people," Johnson said.
McDermott, however, said he was happy with Metro's process in crafting the plan. He said the point of the plan is to involve the public when it's time to decide on alternatives.
"We're just beginning the process. We haven't made decisions about how to provide service on the Island," he said. "You bet we're going to be on the Island talking to a bunch of stakeholders, the community council, healthcare providers, churches, employers, schools."
McDermott noted that a couple evening trips on Vashon's line 118 were recently cut. Under the new county plan, he said, something would have replaced those trips.
"This is a chance to have a conversation that's different than just cuts," he said.
Johnson said he was looking forward to learning more about the county's plan but had a hard time imagining how the proposed alternatives would take the place of bus trips on Vashon.
"I'm willing to be convinced, but I don't see it," he said. "My guess is a lot of the alternatives they talk about aren't really feasible for Vashon. I'm getting the sense that this is a cut. People are going to have to find another way to get where they're going or ride an earlier route."
Hansen, meanwhile, said he hoped Vashon residents would be open to trying less-traditional ways of getting around.
"I'm expecting people on Vashon might kind of run with this," he said. "It's an opportunity to do something different and creative. We could do something that no one else does nationwide and if works for (the Vashon) community, yippee."
The King County Council is expected to vote on the plan late this summer.

Year after year West Des Moines Valley is at the front of the leaderboard in Class 4A's points allowed category.
Tonight the goal for Marshalltown is to execute well enough offensively to try to skew that impressive points-per-game average.
The Bobcats (3-0) and Tigers (3-0) square off at 7:30 p.m. at Leonard Cole Field in the CIML Iowa Conference football opener.
Valley has been a consistent defensive force. In games over the 10-year span of 2000-09, the Tigers were third in 4A in scoring defense at 12.86 points per game. Valley in 2010 was fourth in 4A - 12.82 ppg, while through three games in 2011, it is allowing 12.67 ppg.
On the other side of the line of scrimmage, Marshalltown has scored 52, 60 and 35 points this season to tie for the 4A lead at 49 points per game.
"Valley is very sound defensively. They have real good team speed as well," said Marshalltown head coach Dave Holdiman. "It's going to be a test of which team speed is going to win out, we really hope that's us, but you look at them on film, you can see it, they're quick and they just fly to the football.
Fact Box
Valley at MHS
When: Tonight, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Leonard Cole Field
"They are a very good team when it comes down to preventing the score. Teams have moved the ball on them, but getting the ball in the end zone against those guys is a different story. That will be our challenge this week to get points on the board against a very solid defense."
The most points MHS has scored in the last eight years under Holdiman against Valley is 17 in 2003. The Bobcats' high-water mark all-time against the Tigers is scoring 20 in 1994.
Executing on offense becomes an even bigger factor this week.
"The little things that amount to precision and in our aspect of the passing game those are really important," Holdiman said. "The little things let you separate from the defender, find room in the coverage, get the ball and make a play. If you don't take care of those little things, you don't get open.
"That's really what it amounts to against quality defenses like this so we have to really pay attention to the details, the little things as we approach these guys."
Marshalltown quarterback Blake Gimbel already has thrown for 1,000 yards through the first three games and has 12 touchdowns (both 4A-leading totals) to go with a 63-percent completion percentage. Gimbel is a nominee for the Fareway Student Athlete of the Week
Ty Steffensen is the team's leading receiver with three 100-yard games already. Steffensen has 22 catches for 404 yards and six touchdowns for the season - each the top totals in 4A.
Austin Hauser and Dominick Osborne both have two receiving touchdowns. Osborne also has a team-high three rushing scores.
The Bobcats are one of seven 4A teams to be in the top 10 in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Marshalltown is allowing 11.33 points per game to stand 10th. Southeast Polk, Cedar Falls, Ankeny, Bettendorf, Davenport Assumption and Muscatine also are in the top 10 in both categories.
Valley is 12th in scoring offense at 39.7 points per game. The Tigers scored 42 unanswered second-half points for a 49-10 comeback victory over Indianola last week.
Running back Trey Lewis had three TDs against Indianola and has 458 yards for the season. Tyus Mason adds 229 yards. Both have outstanding averages with Lewis getting 9.2 yards per carry and Mason 8.2.
"They have great big-play potential with both backs," Holdiman said. "Both have great speed and their line is big up front.
"They present a real host of problems defensively with their talent level and their ability to both run it and throw it," he added.
Kyle Carnahan has 17 solo and 14 assisted tackles on the year for MHS as well as three interceptions. Pedro Gomez adds seven solo and 17 assisted stops as a lineman.
The Bobcats have won 11 of their last 13 games at Leonard Cole Field.
"Obviously we like playing in front of big vocal crowds. We're hoping Bobcat faithful come out and give us that extra boost, believe me it makes a difference," Holdiman said. "We had a great traveling following at Johnston and I think it made a difference for our kids. We're hoping to get the same here at home."
