Jefferson High School students on Thursday will announce the winner of the second annual Portland Peace Prize at a ceremony in Northwest Portland.
The prize is given by the school, and the winner is chosen by students according to qualities similar to those of Nobel Peace Prize winners. The ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Ecotrust Building, 721 N.W. Ninth Ave.
Thirty-three students from Jefferson's college-preparatory Senior Inquiry class narrowed the field of candidates from 15 to three. The three finalists are Shane Endicott, Imani Muhammad and Emanuel Price.
Endicott created Our United Villages in 1997 and The ReBuilding Center in 1998. The ReBuilding Center has kept thousands of pounds of homebuilding materials from landfills and resold them to the local community at prices below retail value.
Muhammad created Youth Organized and United to Help, a nonprofit that promotes understanding between people of different economic, racial, religious and age backgrounds. The group developed an annual summit that brings young activists, leaders and artists together to serve the group's purpose.
Through the Black Parent Initiative, Emanuel Price works to improve the educational outcomes of African American children.
The 33 students in the class identified and interviewed the prize nominees. They will also plan and host the awards ceremony. At the ceremony, light refreshments will be served, and the speakers include Portland City Commissioner Dan Saltzman and Kelly Campbell with Physicians for Social Responsibility.
A silent auction will be held, and will include more than $800 worth of items from Patagonia, Adidas, Laughing Planet Cafe, OMSI, Salty's Dog and Cat Shop, and Yoga Shala. All proceeds will be donated to the Portland Peace Prize winner's local nonprofit of choice.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's a big day for the Cavaliers, who appear to be close to selecting a coach and deciding on a No. 1 draft pick -- if they don't trade it.
Former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt will interview with the team for the first time today. Clippers associate head coach Alvin Gentry and Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue already have had second interviews, so it looks like a three-man race at this point.
Blatt, a Massachusetts native who played for Pete Carril at Princeton, led Maccabi Tel Aviv to a 54-18 record this past season, winning the Israel league, the Israeli Cup and the Euroleague championships. He also is believed to be weighing offers from Golden State and Minnesota, looking to hire him as an assistant.
In addition, Kansas star forward Andrew Wiggins will work out for the team today. His teammate, center Joel Embiid, worked out with the team last week, and Duke forward Jabari Parker will workout here on Friday. Those three are widely viewed as the group from which the No. 1 pick will emerge.
Unlike many teams in the NBA, the Cavs do not let the media see any of the workouts or speak to the players afterward.
The 2014 NBA Draft is June 26 in Brooklyn.

We tackled this question and then some at the January Central Texas DITA User Group meeting. I'm a little tardy in writing up my notes and thoughts about the presentation but it went really well and I appreciate all the attendee's participation as well. We had a high school teacher in the audience and I applaud him for wanting to learn more about DITA to pass that knowledge on to high school students.
I brought along my XO laptop since I was talking about my work with wiki.laptop.org and Floss Manuals and found some more Austin-based XO fans, so that was a great side benefit to me as well.
One of Ben's answers to the question "What does DITA have to do with wiki?" is "Maybe nothing." Love it!
Ben introduced another the triangle of choices – you have likely heard of "cheap/good/fast, pick two." How about "knowledge/reuse/structure, pick one."
I have to do some thinking about that one and his perception of the limitations and tradeoffs offered by those choices or priorities. Reuse and structure are particularly difficult to pair but also give you the most payoff. Structure and knowledge are another likely pair, but it could be difficult to find subject matter experts who are also able to organize their writing in a very structured manner, and finding writers who know DITA really well and also have specific content knowledge may also be difficult to obtain. His workaround for the difficulty you'd face while trying to come up with a structured wiki is a sluice box – where raw, unstructured data is the top input, some sort of raw wiki is the next filter, and the final tightest filter of all is a topic-oriented wiki.
Original photo of a sluice box by t-dawg.
My take on the question is that there are three potential hybrid DITA wiki combinations, and Chris Almond at this presentation introduced the fourth that I have seen, using DITA as an intermediate storage device, interestingly.
The three DITA-wiki combination concepts I've seen are:
- Wikislices – using a DITA map to keep up with wiki "topic" (article) changes. Michael Priestly is working on this for the One Laptop Per Child Project (OLPC.)
- DITA Storm – web-enabled DITA editor, but not very wiki-like. However, with just the addition of a History/Revision and Discussion tab, and an RSS feed, you could get some nice wiki features going with that product. Don Day had an interesting observation that sometimes when you add in too many wiki features on a web page you can hardly tell what's content and where to edit it. I'd agree with that assessment.
- DITA to wikitext XSLT transform- but no round trip, have writers determine what content goes back to DITA source. Lisa Dyer will describe this content flow in the February session.
The slides are available on slideshare.net. Here are the slides that Ben Allums, Ragan Haggard, and I used.
Here are Chris Almond's slides and his blog entry about the presentation. I described Chris's project to Stewart Mader of wikipatterns.com and he blogged about our presentation as well at his blog ikiw.org.

Since it started in 1983, the annual SuperDance event mounted by Monsignor Farrell High School and St. Joseph Hill Academy each March has raised a whopping total of about $3.25 million for charity.
That's a truly impressive figure and a tribute to the yeoman efforts of the students and faculty who have pulled it off every year.
The charity that has benefited from the success of the SuperDance for all those years was the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
But now the principal of Monsignor Farrell, which hosts the event, Monsignor Edmund Whalen, has decided to end that part of the tradition. From now on, Monsignor Whalen says, all the money raised at the SuperDance will go to local charities.
His reasoning: The national MDA can do fund-raising quite well on its own and local charities need the help more.
"Obviously, MDA will not shut down without our support," Monsignor Whalen said. "The poor of Staten Island, faced with an ever-deepening economic crisis, do not have this international network of support. All they have is us - their sisters and brothers here on Staten Island."
To which we say: Hear! Hear!
There have been complaints about this sudden break with tradition, but the monsignor makes an excellent point.
The centerpiece of MDA's massive fund-raising effort, of course, is Jerry Lewis' Labor Day Telethon, which last year raised $59 million alone for the charity. In fact, the SuperDance, for all its success, made up a minuscule .03 percent of the MDA's total contributions.
As Monsignor Whalen pointed out, the MDA benefits not only from the Telethon, but from lots of publicity, including plenty of celebrity support and, not least, a "large paid professional fund-raising staff."
In fact, while the MDA has ranked highly among charities for the efficiency of its fund-raising operation in the past, like all such large charities, it spends lots of money for administrative costs and to pay professional fund-raisers.
Not all of every dollar donated to the MDA by the participants in events around the U.S. in support of the cause goes to fighting muscular dystrophy or helping those affected by it, by any means. A good chunk of that money goes to paying overhead costs, including high salaries and quite nice accommodations for its fund-raising operations.
Meanwhile, charities that don't have anything like that high profile or celebrity backing, much less the funds, but do far more on-the-ground good work dollar for dollar, are struggling in a difficult economic environment.
"The reason for my decision to focus on local charities that help the poor and hungry here on Staten Island rather than the MDA reflects the changing needs of our Island in the 27 years since the first SuperDance here at Farrell," Monsignor Whalen said. "Our efforts will include hands-on involvement with those in need."
One critic of the change, Dr. Charles Kitts, a retired teacher who coordinated St. Joseph Hill Academy's SuperDance executive committee for six years, said he was "saddened, stunned" by Monsignor Whalen's decision. "All this has come to a crushing, sudden end. I don't get the message this sends from a Catholic school," Dr. Kitts said.
We'd say it's exactly the right message for a Catholic school or any other community-minded institution to send.
That is the essence of true charity, isn't it? It's not just about hosting a popular, well-publicized event to be able to send off a fat check to a well-heeled, big-name charitable organization and pat yourself on the back.
It's about raising the money to help struggling, lesser-known local groups continue to do good works in your own community . . . and then pitching in yourself to help them to do it.
Just because these are not the "name" charities with celebrity spokespersons ready to heap praise on big contributors doesn't mean they aren't worthy of support. Just the opposite: They are the organizations doing the real work in the trenches right here.
Why give money raised here to national mega-charities when it's needed right in our own backyard? It might not earn your group a nationally televised shout-out from a celebrity, but it will do a lot more good in our own community.
We applaud Monsignor Whalen's decision and his courage in making it in the face of popular sentiment. We hope his critics come to see the truth of his reasoning.

Today's legend of Auburn has certainly earned that moniker as he had a rocky start in life, but persevered and made a great life for him and his family. What about Dr. James Mitchell?
Jim was born March 6, 1935, at then Auburn Memorial Hospital. He survived a problematic birth and they almost lost him. He was an only child, and at the age of 3 his father abandoned him and his mother,, making life very difficult. They had to move in with his grandparents, William and Katherine O'Herron, to survive.
His mom, Lena, became a nurse at AMH in 1926 and they lived in a series of apartments in the early years. They lived mostly in the Five Points area, where he made many friends, like the Fitzpatrick family: Charlie Wride, Sharon and Bill Britnall, Keith Benjamin and John Cirillo.
The first time he saw Alice Fitzpatrick, she was 3 years old and "very cute," enough so that they went on to be married August 29, 1959, at Holy Family Church. Subsequently, Jim became very close to all the Fitzpatricks: Bill, Jack, Joe, Marcia and Mary. And they became a second family to him.
Jim said he is very proud of the accomplishments they all have made. Bill, "Tank," was a high school All-American at Mount Carmel, and Jack and Joe were legendary athletes at Holy Family.
Jim went through the following schools growing up: Genesee, Lincoln, Central High and then East, where he Graduated in 1953. Jim made a lot of friends in school and he did very well with his grades. He excelled as a good athlete, running track and cross country for the Maroons under coach Ed Blatz. Jim was also a fine tennis player and bowler.
As a kid, he was a bus boy at the Springside Inn and he also mowed the grass there, and sold ice cream and hot dogs at Island Park, where Joe and Betty Padlick were very good to him.
Jim first went to St. Bonaventure for pred-med and then to the University of Buffalo, where he switched to dentistry and it gave him a very enjoyable career. Jim was my dentist and he was a great one.
Alice and Jim have two sons and a daughter. Their first son, David, was born in 1960 when they lived in city housing projects in Buffalo and their rent was $28 a month which included utilities. David and his wife, Galena, live in Syracuse and they have a son, Jack. Dave is a plant manager of an oil company in Rome.
Their daughter, Jon, was also born in Buffalo in 1961. She is single, a doctor and is chief of medicine at the VA Hospital in Syracuse.
Their son, Jim, was born in Auburn in 1964 and he and his wife, Irma, have a son, Jim, and a daughter, Jessica. Jim is a district manager for Hertz Truck Rental Co.
In 1961, after Jim graduated from Dental school, he volunteered for the Air Force, where he was promoted to captain. They had to keep the pilots and co-pilots in perfect dental health because they were going through the Cuban missile crisis back then.
In 1964, he decided to come back to "good old Auburn" as Jim said, and he went into practice at 72 South St. In 1972, he was offered the position of staff dentist for the Veteran's Hospital in Syracuse where he spent 26 years until retiring in 1997.
The love of his life, Alice, has passed on, but they enjoyed some great years. They have five grandkids: Jack, Jim, Jessica, Laura and Jasmine, and a great grandson, Angelo.
Jim told me that he has always loved the city of Auburn and its people and that he will always remain a great fan of Auburn.
Jim, you certainly have demonstrated to others that even though there are often tough family situations, if you put your mind to it, you can overcome them, also.
Thanks to you and Alice and your family for being legends of Auburn.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are among the hottest teams in the league right now, while teams like the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat still look good as we near the playoffs in a few months.
Teams like the Portland Trailblazers and Phoenix Sun will continue to quietly sneak up on people, and teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets are trying to make their offseason moves pay off.
These rankings took into account teams' overall records, body of work and offensive/defensive rankings.
Overall records were considered a good bit, but I looked more into the big victories that teams have had this season.
Offensive and defensive rankings compared to the rest of the NBA were also very important because they shows how well teams can match up with other top teams.
Enough talk, let's get started with the countdown.

The prospects for the Jersey Shore's summer rental season waxes and wanes along the coast depending on the severity of damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy.
While some communities were demolished in the storm, others — just a few miles away — survived relatively unscathed. Still, overall, fewer homes will be available to rent. Real estate agents expect that fact to influence the market across the state, potentially causing a southern migration of beachgoers who usually vacation in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Cheryl Laperriere manages the Coldwell Banker real estate office in Rumson, which handles summer rental properties in hard-hit Sea Bright, among other areas.
Laperriere said it was too soon to know how many properties impacted by the storm would be available for summer rentals but she said, "we're just going to have less supply to offer. That's the only sure thing we have here.
"I don't see the demand lessening because of the storm. I think people are still going to be attracted to the shore. I still think people will still want to summer at the shore," she said. So "the only option then would be to go further south. "
Lee Childers, the owner of Childers Sotheby's International Realty, which has five offices in Ocean County, said his rental business will be down at least one-third from last year because of the reduction in inventory.
Childers said he expected about 60 percent to 70 percent of the agency's regular rental properties to be available by summer. But, he said that estimate varies depending on the area.
"In Lavallette it could be as high as 90 percent," he said, while in "Ortley Beach it could be 20 percent."
He called the concern about visitors heading south to go to the beach an ongoing challenge, but one exacerbated by the storm.
"We compete with North Carolina, Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Maryland, and even southern New Jersey," Childers said. "Are people that normally vacation in Lavallette or Normandy Beach or Bay Head, are they going to say, 'We're not sure there's going to be construction going on'" and vacation somewhere else, he said. "That will be our challenge."
But one realtor's challenge is another realtor's opportunity.
Frank Shoemaker, the broker at Berger Realty in Ocean City, said realtors there are feeling confident about the coming rental season because the town suffered less damage from Sandy than beaches to the north.
"We are expecting a stronger season and book early because of that," he said. "You may not be able to wait until June to book your rental."
Brad Vogdes, the broker and manager for Atlantis Realty in Wildwood Crest, said the office is fielding about 25 percent more calls than usual for rentals, fueled by beachgoers who don't normally vacation in Cape May County.
"We're usually a Philadelphia town for rentals and we are definitely getting more North Jersey, New York calls" said Vogdes.
Still, some in the real estate field expect the regular clientele to return to the state's northern beaches.
Mary Ann Wissel, the chief executive officer of the Ocean County Board of Realtors, said some renters want to return to support the area.
"If you are a week renter for the same seasonal week in the summer, you're used to that crowd and it becomes a big family gathering," she said. "They seem to want to support the neighborhood and the community that they've visited."
Mary Cericola manages the Crossroads Realty office in Lavallette, which handles rentals from Point Pleasant Beach to South Seaside Park.
She said though inventory will be down, she didn't expect many people to choose to vacation elsewhere.
"Our location is perfect. We're popular because it's easier to get to us than LBI or Long Island when you're looking at the metropolitan area," she said. "I'm pretty confident we're going to have a very, very strong market once the dust settles."
In Belmar, the rental market is already booming, according to Alice Farr-Leonard, the broker of record for Century 21 Schlossbach Realty.
She said that "the houses that we generally handle for the summer are fine and are being rented."
Farr-Leonard said she was actively looking for other properties to offer as rentals because some of the houses they've rented in the past are now being used as second homes. "Our inventory is down but that is not because of Hurricane Sandy," she said.
The reduced rental stock — whether the result of Sandy or not — may drive up prices, some realtors said.
Childers said "some homeowners have the opinion that they can get more money," if their home survived Sandy. "We're advising against that."
Bretton Lutz, an agent at Oceanside Realty in Long Beach Island, said he hoped homeowners don't raise rents, but "I think prices were heading in the upward direction anyway."
"As the rental inventory gets less and less it's only natural that some of the owners" may raise prices, which they've been trying to get up over the last two or three years to cover increasing property taxes and utility bills, Lutz said."I'm sure they're heading in an upward direction."

Staff and Wire Reports
Staff and Wire Reports
SANTA FE — A tax reform commission has recommended no change in the tax on food but proposed higher taxes and fees on gasoline, motor vehicles and homes.
The Blue Ribbon Tax Reform Commission voted 16-7 on Tuesday to approve a package of tax change recommendations, which go to Gov. Bill Richardson and the Legislature. Six of 10 legislators on the panel supported the package.
At a Portales City Council meeting in September, council members adopted a resolution against a proposed elimination of taxes on groceries, which the Blue Ribbon Committee was considering.
City Council members said the city's budget would lose about $424,000 annually had the reduction gone through.
The governor plans to call a special session of the Legislature starting Oct. 27 to consider the tax changes. However, Richardson said the overall package ''does not have my endorsement.''
The panel recommended both tax cuts as well as increases.
Overall, the commission's proposals would provide a net revenue increase of about $151 million to the state once fully implemented. Of that, about $96 million would be earmarked to the fund that pays for highway construction and maintenance — providing a way to finance a proposed road improvement package advocated by Richardson.
The commission voted to make no changes in the current gross receipts tax on food purchases rather than repealing or reducing it.
Richardson said he was ''disappointed'' by the panel's recommendation on the food tax. The governor had wanted the tax lifted from food and medical services.
Among the commission's recommendations:
l Increasing the tax on gasoline by 2 cents a gallon and 3 cents a gallon on diesel fuel. Currently, the tax is 17 cents on gasoline and 18 cents on diesel. The taxes also would be indexed for inflation, which would mean automatic increases in the future.
l Raising the excise tax on purchases of motor vehicles to 4.5 percent from 3 percent. A portion of the increase, one-half of a percent, would be earmarked for highway financing.
l Increasing registration fees for cars, trucks and other motor vehicles by an average of $12.50 a year. The actual increase would vary depending on the vehicle. Currently, the fee averages about $38.
l Impose a new property transfer tax on the sales of homes over $100,000. A sliding scale tax would apply, ranging from 1 percent to 2 percent.
l Phase out a newly enacted capital gains deduction for higher income New Mexicans. Richardson pushed through the capital gains deduction earlier this year as part of a five-year, $360 million income tax cutting package.
l Reducing taxes for lower income and some middle income New Mexicans. The current Low Income Comprehensive Tax Rebate, or LICTR, would be expanded and the personal exemption would be increased for lower and middle-income taxpayers.
l Provide tax relief for health care providers; establishing a tax deduction so they don't have to pay the gross receipts tax on reimbursements from managed care companies and some Medicaid payments.
l Lowering the corporate income tax, creating a two-tier system with a top rate of 6.4 percent rather than 7.6 percent.
l Raise the gross receipts tax by one-eighth of a percent. That's done by reducing a credit the state currently provides to municipalities.
Another proposal would give counties more authority to raise gross receipts taxes without voter approval of the higher levy. Local governments also would be able to impose a local option ''compensating tax'' on some out-of-state purchases. Overall, the commission's package would cause very little net change in revenues flowing to local governments next year.
At one point, the commission voted to raise liquor taxes by about $38 million but later reversed that decision after House Speaker Ben Lujan, D-Santa Fe, asked for a recount.
Richardson said he opposed the rollback in the capital gains reduction and the proposed increases in the gas tax and creation of a property transfer tax. The governor said he supported proposals that were intended to reduce ''pyramiding'' of the gross receipts tax on business transactions and the proposals for tax relief for lower and middle income taxpayers.
The commission chairman, Jerry Sandel, a former Democratic legislator from Farmington, said he doubted that any commission member supported all of the recommendations but he described the package ''as a good step forward.''
''It's economic development. It's reform. It's equity,'' said Sandel.
Fred Nathan, of Santa Fe, a long-time advocate of lifting the tax on food, voted against the package.
''The commission failed to repeal the tax on food while imposing more than $100 million in new taxes on working middle class families, including new taxes on their homes, gas and cars. That's wrong,'' Nathan said after the meeting. ''I would strongly urge Gov. Richardson to develop his own tax reform package.''

That saves me. Thanks for being so snseblie!

This debate is senseless, they're going to modernize the facility and replace the old oil biomass boiler with modern technology that only consumes woody biomass waste. Modern WTE facilities are much lower emitters of emissions due to the fact that EPA mandate demands it and it's they only way the manufactures can stay in business. Concerning the perceived environmental impact from consuming waste, logging is part of the Olympic Peninsula's every day life and I can't see any negative environmental impact whatsoever in cleaning up sites that have been logged. I would much rather see the waste used to generate electricity than sit on the landing to rot and then burned in a slash pile that will create greater amounts of emissions and provide zero renewable energy for the local community. We have two choices, think outside the box and use these alternative energy sources or continue to use petroleum based products for electricity production and transportation. You make the choice, geopolitical instability, or the simple consumption of waste by product. Green Blessings Richard"RD"Milne

A late-night fire swept through a Florham Park doctor's office Wednesday, fire officials said.
Borough firefighters responded to a fire alarm at an office building at 256 Columbia Turnpike around 11:20 p.m., said Florham Park Fire Chief Robert Young.
The fire wasn't immediately visible, and firefighters began using thermal imaging cameras to scan the building. After the initial scan, firefighters discovered flames coming out of the window of one of the suites.
Fire companies from Madison, Chatham, Whippany, East Hanover and Morris Township responded to the scene, bringing the fire under control in about 45 minutes, Young said.
The office where the fire started was extensively damaged and there was smoke damage in much of the building, Young said. No firefighters were injured. The cause of the fire was still unknown, Young said, although it was not believed to be suspicious.

Today Typesafe, the company co-founded by Scala creator Martin Odersky, announced the release of Typesafe Stack 2.0. The new version of adds a proprietary management console, along with the newest version of the Akka middleware announced last week. The stack also includes the latest version of Scala and the Play framework.
Typesafe was founded last year to commercialize Scala. The company offers commercial support for the Typesafe Stack, along with a few proprietary tools such as the management console. There is also a free open source version of the stack that lacks the management tools.
Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that has become increasingly popular for building highly scalable Web applications. It's probably best known for its use at Twitter, where developers began using the language in place of Ruby for certain things. Scala runs on the Java Virtual Machine and features support for multiple cores.
In addition to Twitter, Scala is used by UBS for risk management, NASA for mission log analysis, Onyx Government Systems for data modeling and by The Guardian for its Content API.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, has joined the nonprofit NOH8 (pronounced "no hate") organization that is collecting thousands of photographs of people with duct tape over their mouths.
The organization's stated mission is "to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media and visual protest."
"Every person should be afforded the opportunity to marry who they love," Kildee said. "That's why I support marriage equality."
With his photo shoot for NOH8 Campaign, Kildee joined more than 30,000 others who have taken part. Each photograph features a person with duct tape over his or her mouth and "NOH8" painted on one cheek.
The NOH8 campaign was co-founded by photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in response to California voters in 2008 passing Proposition 8, which amended the state's constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
Kildee's decision to join the campaign comes at a time the U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on two major cases concerning same-sex relationships.
"For me, it's a matter of simple fairness," he said. "I'm proud to join the NOH8 campaign and the majority of Michiganders and Americans speaking out against hate."
Kildee issued a statement on June 1 recognizing June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month. The congressman also spoke at the Tri-City LGBT Pride Festival held on Saginaw's Obijway Island on Saturday, June 22.
"I look forward to the day — hopefully very soon — where our nation's laws that discriminate against gays and lesbians are tossed aside," Kildee said. "Everyone's love should be recognized and equal."

Now You Can Make a Big Difference
Editorial, by Jon L. Jordan, MD, JD
In an early February meeting of the FAA's principal aeromedical certification staff, including myself, with representatives of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Air Line Pilots Association, and the Experimental Aircraft Association, there was a wide-ranging discussion of possible mechanisms for speeding the certification process. As AMEs, you will be hearing more about some of these initiatives over the coming months. In this column, I want to emphasize an important area where you can often make a difference.
Your job, of course, is to identify items of history or physical findings that are disqualifying, according to the published standards, or that suggest the need for further evaluation. The Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners includes many examples of medical history for which it recommends deferral of certification to the Aeromedical Certification Division in Oklahoma City. You have been instructed at AME seminars that, if in doubt about an airman's eligibility, you should defer to the FAA. This is often the best advice and definitely plays it safe.
However, many applicants for certification have recovered from medical conditions that are now remote in time or were of minor significance and which, in the absence of current activity, should have no bearing on the individual's eligibility for certification-even though the Guide may tell you to defer certification. Since deferral usually means a delay in certification of at least several weeks, even though these applications receive priority handling in Oklahoma City, you may be able to spare the pilot this burden through a little extra effort on his or her behalf.
With the applicant still in your office, if possible, contact your Regional Flight Surgeon's office by phone and describe the history obtained, your pertinent positive or negative findings, and your recommendation for certification. With appropriate discussion, the Regional Office is often able to authorize the issuance of a certificate immediately, saving everyone a lot of time, effort, and sometimes, frustration. If the Regional Office authorizes you to issue a certificate, record that under ITEM 60 of the application form (include the name of the FAA staff member who authorized the issuance) and forward the form, together with other pertinent medical information, to the Aeromedical Certification Division. The application still will be further reviewed and additional requests for information may be made by the FAA, but the pilot will have the certificate in hand.
We plan to revise the Guide, and one of our objectives is to identify those conditions where the AME should be allowed to make the certification decision without deferring to the FAA. In the meantime, however, you can make a big difference for the airman by taking a little extra initiative and contacting your Regional Flight Surgeon's office for advice and direction.

Last month Maternova profiled the work of Days For Girls Founder Celeste Mergen. In this month's blog showcasing a woman making a difference, I am personally nominating Dominique Vidale-Plaza. What makes her a woman who inspires us? Keep reading to find out.
After obtaining her undergraduate degree from Liberty University in 2010, Dominique immediately entered the humanitarian workforce as the Managing Director of 'Women in Warzones', where she was first introduced to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The gender based violence is so rampant that the DRC is known globally as the world's most dangers place to be a woman. The routine employing of rape and torture of woman, girls, and vulnerable men is so widespread in order to achieve subjugation and dominance; it's the last place most women would willingly go to.
Dominique is certainly not 'most women', as she is planning to return to the DRC in February 2013 to begin work on a very special project 'Build Hope'. In the Mwenga territory, medical resources are scarce. It's over two days walk to reach the closest clinic on foot. Women who live here are often forced to traverse the dangerous terrain pregnant, or worse, in labor as they look for medical help. The Mwenga territory has no physicians to speak of and midwifes with no formal training are the primary providers of medical care. It's a desperate situation, and requires a very bold trailblazer to start the wheels of progress turning. Build Hope is hoping to open The Kilungutwe Health and Community Center as soon as she receives funding.
In partnership with the renowned Panzi Hospital , Dominique is seeking to bring a health clinic into the most desolate area in Mwenga. Her focus is primarily to assist rape victims with emergency medical services along with education. In speaking with Dominique I wasn't surprised to learn that most women accept their unfortunate fate as victim. She went on to say 'It's hard to inspire people who have given up hope', but that is not going to stop her from trying. She believes the residents of this remote Democratic Republic of the Congo location deserve improved quality medical care. It's a noble mission we'll be keeping an eye on. Thank you Dominique for all YOU do for women!
Please take a moment and check out Dominique's own blog online at: http://dvplaza.wordpress.com

Beasley Broadcasting Reports Q4 Revenue Down Slightly; 2013 Up 4.7%. Political advertising – or the lack thereof in the fourth quarter of Beasley's Q4 – led to a mildly down quarter as net revenue dropped a half of a percent compared to the same period in 2012. Station operating income was down 5.2% quarter over quarter. However, for the year, Beasley reports net revenue was up 4.7% and net income per diluted share was up 6.3%. Further, the company states that "lower net revenue in the 2013 fourth quarter and a $0.4 million, or 2.5%, increase in station operating expenses related to operating KVGS-FM in Las Vegas which was acquired in September 2013, as well as a rise in sales and programming expenses, caused fourth quarter 2013 station operating income (SOI), a non-GAAP financial measure, to decrease by $0.6 million, or 5.2%, to $10.2 million, as compared to the 2012 fourth quarter." Chairman and CEO George Beasley comments, "Beasley Broadcast Group's fourth quarter net revenue decline primarily reflects a reduction in political spending as in the fourth quarter of 2012 we recorded approximately $1.2 million in political advertising revenue. While we were not able to fully offset the cyclical impact of political revenue, the fourth quarter radio advertising environment in our markets remains healthy and on an actual basis we reported just a slight decline in net revenue compared with last year. Excluding the benefit of political advertising in the year-ago quarter, Beasley Broadcast Group's 2013 fourth quarter same station net revenue rose approximately 2% and, reflecting our success throughout 2013, actual full year net revenue rose 4.7% while same station net revenue for 2013 was up 1.9% versus full year 2012. Overall, for our five markets that report to Miller Kaplan – which represent approximately 76% of total fourth quarter revenue – Beasley station cluster revenue declined by 2.6%, which again was primarily attributable to the cyclical nature of political advertising, while the total revenue for all reporting radio stations in these markets decreased by 4.1% for the quarter. Beasley Broadcast Group's out-performance relative to our markets again highlights the benefit of our organization-wide focus on strong core programming and targeted localism. Our planned investments in sales and programming and the expansion of our digital offerings, combined with the revenue decline, led to fourth quarter 2013 SOI which was 5.2% below year-ago levels."
Sliwa Child Support Case Creating 'Tabloid' Sensation in NYC. The child support case currently in the courts in New York involving WABC, New York talk show host Curtis Sliwa has been fodder for the city's tabloid newspapers. Recently it was the New York Post. Now it's the New York Daily News. The most recent court filings by Sliwa's ex-wife Mary charge Curtis Sliwa was having an affair with now-Queens Borough president Melinda Katz prior to his marriage to Mary – and that he even spent the night before his wedding to Mary with Katz. Sliwa was in court late last year contending he can't afford the $13,000 per month he had agreed to pay Mary Sliwa for their now-10-year-old son because his salary had been slashed to $200,000 from its high of almost $700,000. (That was when he worked for Salem, he now works for Cumulus and his current salary has not been published.) Sliwa now lives with Katz and their two children and he pays $10,000 to Katz for child care even though they co-habitate. Court documents allege that – via voice mails – Mary Sliwa can show Curtis Sliwa was having an affair with Katz for a long period of time although the two deny it started before 2011. Mary Sliwa is also contesting the claim by Katz that her children were the product of frozen sperm donated by Sliwa. Whereas this ordeal is no doubt causing financial and personal pain for the parties involved, the buzz factor generated by a scandal of this nature cannot help but draw priceless and timely publicity to Sliwa's radio presence in the competitive New York market as he reunites with his former longtime co-host Ron Kuby on WABC. Read the most recent New York Daily News story here.

Former Tampa-Area Talk Host Arrested on Racketeering and Fraud Charges. Using the religious station as a backdrop for his program "It's God's Money," Gary L. Gauthier convinced 38 people in the Tampa area to invest in his Ponzi scheme and, according to the St. Petersburg Tribune, bilked them out of about $6 million. During 2005, Gauthier's program aired on Salem Communications-owned stations WTBN and WGUL, though it's not clear if Salem owned the stations at the time Gauthier's program aired. According to the charges, Gauthier worked with local accountant David George Dreslin on the ploy. Dreslin has also been arrested and charged. The paper's report indicates that many of the victims said they trusted Gauthier because he was broadcasting on a Christian radio station.

Walter Sabo Says Merlin's FM News Operations in New York and Chicago off to Good Start. In an exclusive interview for TALKERS TV conducted this past Friday in New York City (right before Hurricane Irene made its way up the coast to the Big Apple), Merlin Media COO Walter Sabo praises his company's talent roster, sales staff, and CEO Randy Michaels for creating and marketing all-news FM products in New York and Chicago strategically targeted for 25-54 year old working families. These are WEMP-FM, New York (FM News 101.9) and WWWN-FM, Chicago (FM News 101.1). When asked to further define the term "working families," Sabo responds, "Families in which mom and dad go to work." He says compared to the audiences of today's traditional all-news stations, 25-54 represents the younger demographic. "They need the same information as everyone else but the key to reaching them is to understand they are extremely busy." He explains, "They are busy running to their jobs, going to day care, picking up the kids. Their day is a series of high-pressure points regarding the clock. They don't have time to listen to any information that isn't right to the point." He credits the impressive list of advertisers already signed up for these relatively brand new stations to the competence of their sales department and the fact that advertisers "immediately embrace" the concept of all news targeted to a young working audience. TALKERS monitors on the ground in New York City report that FM News 101.9 delivered "superb coverage" of Hurricane Irene throughout all phases of its assault on the region. View this must-see interview, "Lunch with Walter Sabo," on TALKERS TV on this page.
CBS Aggressively Leads Sports Talk Invasion of FM. The FM band is quickly being populated by sports talk radio and it's not a stretch to say CBS is leading the charge. TALKERS special features correspondent Mike Kinosian writes that when the company launched WXYT-FM, Detroit four years ago, it wasn't planning beyond that station. But as CBS Radio SVP of programming Chris Oliviero tells TALKERS, "We realized this is a road we should go down from a programming, as well as a general radio business standpoint. We love the format and think we are good at doing it." With the simulcast of WIP, Philadelphia beginning on September 6, CBS will have nine sports outlets on FM in the top 30 markets. Read Mike Kinosian's in-depth look at CBS Radio's FM sports initiative here.

Tom was a tremendous talent and his passion for all things Lions and the NFL never faltered. He was a tremendous asset to us on WDFN AM.

Mid-Island overcame an early four-run deficit and then a two-run hole with an eight-run outburst in the fourth inning to defeat Great Kills 12-7 in the loser's bracket final of the Little League District 24 12s All-Star softball tournament Friday night at Great Kills LL.
The Travis squad advances to play undefeated South Shore in the championship Sunday at 11 a.m. at GKLL. If Mid-Island wins, the two teams will square off on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at GKLL for the title.
Great Kills struck first with runs in the top of the first, but Mid-Island tied the contest in the bottom of the frame on RBI triples from Jamie Holmes and Genevieve Buccigrossi and Nicole Bossert's two-run double.
Great Kills took a 6-4 lead in the fourth and Mid-Island promptly put things out of reach with eight runs in the bottom of the inning. Bossert connected for a three-run triple, Victoria Bulatowitz had a two-run single and Demetria Thaten and Christina Harkins worked out RBI walks.
The deficit was cut to 12-7 in the fifth with a solo tally, but Harkins (complete-game, five-hitter with one earned run and three strikeouts) was able to finish the game without any further damage.

AUBURN HILLS -- Despite Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess out at least until Sunday's start of a West Coast swing of four games, Detroit Pistons coach Michael Curry found something to like about the recent rash of injuries.
"It happens like that sometimes, but it gives some guys who haven't played much chances to step up and play," Curry said. "The good thing about all our guys up to this point, they can say that they have been given extensive time at one time or another to be out on the court.
"So we kind of expect them to play well when they go out there."
Amir Johnson and Kwame Brown joined Tayshaun Price, Allen Iverson and Rodney Stuckey in the starting lineup Friday night against Sacramento at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Hamilton has a left groin injury, while Wallace has soreness in his right foot after being kicked. McDyess has bruised ribs and soreness in his left thigh.
Curry said he went with Brown and Johnson up front because he likes their combined abilities better than Brown and Jason Maxiell at the same time.
"Amir can play with anybody because he runs and he is active, but Kwame and Max, both of them take up space on the block, they are more in-the-paint type guys," he said.
Two sent to Fort Wayne
The Pistons have assigned the two players who have seen the floor the least -- rookie forward Walter Sharpe and guard Alex Acker -- to their NBA Development League affiliate in Fort Wayne for a week. Acker has appeared in five games, and Sharp three.
They will get a chance to play in four games during the next week because of Fort Wayne's schedule and a developmental league showcase in Orem, Utah. They will return to the Pistons on Jan. 9 in Denver. "It's a good chance to get them in some games," Curry said.
Iverson second in voting
Allen Iverson is second among guards in Eastern Conference All-Star balloting. Miami's Dwayne Wade leads with more than 1.4 million votes, and Iverson has slightly more than 1 million.
Among centers, Rasheed Wallace is third behind Orlando's Dwight Howard and Philadelphia's Samuel Dalembert.

Michael Phelps Makes Me Feel TerribleAugust 13, 2008 – 12:02 am by admin
I'm not going to get into the specifics or anything, but he's giving me a complex. So far the only thing I've really accomplished in life is being college educated. Yep, got the 'ol diploma from a fine public institution.
Michael Phelps, on the other hand, is just about the same age and is arguably the greatest Olympic athlete of all time after collecting two more gold medals early today (China time). He's on his way to the most dominating Olympic performance ever.
He'll never have to work a day in his life.
Oh, and let's not forget he's the object of female sexual tension everywhere because he is shirtless at all times. What a (lucky) bastard.

Last night at the New York City Wine and Food Festival, celebrity chef and globe-trotting bad boy Anthony Bourdain got roasted. And no, it didn't involve an open flame and a spit – it was a comedy roast, in which his friends and peers swapped jokes at his expense for charity. Guests included other celebrity chefs – Rachael Ray, Guy Fieri – as well as comedians and television personalities, like The Today Show's Willie Geist.
Bourdain shot to fame with his 2000 memoir, Kitchen Confidential, which detailed his raunchy and drug-addled years in the food industry. He now hosts the popular Travel Channel shows No Reservations and The Layover. But in spite of his current success – or perhaps because of it – many of the night's guests made sure to harp on his seedy past. Chef Ted Allen joked, "[He's an] ex-chef, ex-junkie who's made a fortune insulting his ex-industry," and Sarah Silverman kicked off the night in a pre-taped segment by warning, "There's gonna be a lot of great lines tonight, and you can't snort any of them."
Since taking to television, Bourdain has developed a reputation for bad-mouthing other celebrity chefs – Rachael Ray in particular – so last night was a chance for them to fire back. "When they asked me to roast Anthony Bourdain, I thought I could actually have the easiest time of anyone in this room, because I don't have to write jokes; I don't have to come up with insults," Ray said. "If you ask the man of the hour in the hotseat, my mere existence is clearly insult enough."
Of course, it wouldn't be a true roast if the star was the only object of ridicule. Speakers took stabs at everyone in the room: comedienne Bonnie McFarlane said of plus-sized chef Mario Batali, "He loves olive oil because that's how he gets in and out of his car."
Bourdain was a good sport about the whole affair, and seemed to welcome the onslaught as an overdue comeuppance. "I've always felt that if you're a public figure and I'm making fun of you and your work on television, at all times it is perfectly appropriate for you to give it back to me," he said at the start. "Well, we've set an official appointment for that."

His Parents' Weddings
When Mom and Dad remarry, a son must learn to cope with the weirdness of their weddings
The first thing I need to make clear is that I love my parents. And that I like the people that they've remarried and am thrilled that those nice people make them happy, in no small part because I have no interest in taking care of them myself. The second thing I need to explain is that there's no way at this point in their lives they're reading magazines with either the word modern or bride in it. So don't worry about their feelings.
My parents both got married for the second time in the late 1990s, when I was in my 20s and disinclined to turn down any event that included a free meal. So I hadn't given a lot of thought to how I was supposed to act. It was clear that my parents hadn't, either.
My dad got married first, in a pretty impressive blowout at Windows on the World in New York, which I assume required a lot of planning. Planning you'd think would have included telling your son sometime before he arrived that during the ceremony he's going to stand next to you and hold the wedding ring. I believe that this request is traditionally expressed by "Would you be my best man?" instead of "Take this and stand there."
There's a certain sadness to second weddings, not just because all the symbolism is designed for the young (I'm not entirely sure the bride's 80-year-old dad knew what he was giving away, for instance), but because all that talk of "soul mates" and "never being happier" implies the first marriage didn't exist. Which made me feel a little like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, when he was starting to disappear because his parents didn't meet. Also I may have felt like him because I may have drunk a little too much and demanded to play guitar with the band. And I don't know how to play guitar.
But, to my shock, it was a really fun wedding. When a person you've known since birth gets married, you tend to know a lot of the people there. The food was great, the views were amazing, and I may have even danced. And most of all it was nice to see my dad happy again, after seeing him so sad.
About a year later, my mom got married. Unlike my dad, she asked me a few months in advance if I'd read a poem at the ceremony. She also asked if I'd chip in for the hot tub she and her fiancé had registered for. Apparently what she was really telling me was that she was getting married in the 1970s.
My mom's wedding, at a beautiful, old, stone-faced restaurant in New Jersey, was a little mellower and more intimate than my dad's. They were married by a Unitarian minister, which they thought was really hip and irreverent. I think they may have actually believed they were getting married in the 1970s.

SUMMIT-- Femmebot Clothing announces the opening of its second location in Summit on Oct. 31.
The store will be the lifestyle flagship of the company, expanding on the fashion-forward clothing collection of the Ridgewood location with a wider range of shoes and accessories, a home department including gifts and novelties, and a selection of lingerie and hosiery.
Mayor Ellen Dickson will be joining the Femmebot team at the new store, located at 371 Springfield Ave., for a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 31, at 4 pm.
Additionally, Femmebot Clothing will be partnering with local businesses for a grand opening party featuring special promotions and giveaways on Thursday, Nov. 7, from 5-9 pm at the new store, and will be open to the public.
The Summit store opens just in time to celebrate Femmebot Clothing's second anniversary, as the first location opened in Ridgewood in November 2011.
The owner/buyer, Tina Setia, believes in giving personal attention to each of her customers, which has allowed her to create relationships with the business' clientele.
Setia said, "I want customers to enjoy coming in every time, even if they don't make a purchase. It's about the shopping experience."
The store offers price points for every person, and aims not to alienate any ages. Customers from teens to grandmothers have found additions to their wardrobe at the boutique.
"We aim to take the pretentiousness out of shopping. It should be a fun, not stressful experience," Setia said. "Everybody can be femmebody!"
The company made the decision to start in Ridgewood to bring something unique, fun and affordable to the town. "Now we'd like to bring that same vibe to Summit," Setia said. "We want Summit to once again be a shopping destination."
The boutique is named after and dedicated to femmebots: strong, unhindered, forward-thinking women with a style to match. The store houses both established and unpredictable trends, so customers can foster their individuality while taking a step toward the future of fashion.

weeping Alaska cedar in the spring, but I'm not sure how much water to give it this first summer. The plant has a natural weeping habit, so I can't tell if it's weeping because it needs more water or because that's just what it does.
A: Evergreens in general aren't very good about showing early signs of water stress anyway – at least not like how a hydrangea leaf wilts or deciduous trees brown around the edges.
A good rule of thumb is to give your new cedar one deep soaking a week. In very hot, dry weather (mid-80s and up), two soakings a week should do it. You don't have to water it every day or two.
A good "rule of finger" is to use your index finger as a watering gauge. Stick your finger in the ground a few inches near the root ball and see how dry it is under the mulch. If it's bone dry, it's time to soak. If it's still damp, you're OK.
The goal is to add enough water that the soil is damp all around and down to just under the rootball. Frequent shallow waterings only wet the soil surface. That's why a weekly deep soaking does much more good.
It's unlikely you'll overdo it by watering with a hose once or twice a week, but the sign to watch for would be sogginess. The soil shouldn't be soggy when you're done... after it's had a chance to soak in over about a half-hour.
That finger test will help you gauge that, too. Dry? Time to water. Damp? Perfect. Soggy? You overdid it. Definitely don't add more water.

Spread: VT by 5.5.
Do you like watching 7-footers that can't dunk? How about point guards that can't shoot? Do you like seeing the shot clock near zero? Hate fast breaks? Then this is the team for you! I'm talking about the hoos, of course.
Normally I wouldn't mock a team that has already beaten the Hokies this year. [think Family Guy-style flashback to me mocking georgia tech and Paul Hewitt last week] OK, never mind. I'll mock away…
The hoos are bad. Real bad. ["How bad are they???"] I'm glad you asked, loyal TechHoops.com reader. They are so bad, Michael Jackson was singing about them (and I'm not talking about Thriller). They are so bad, mothers across America have formed an organization against them. [No, I'm not sure what I meant by that, either] They're so bad… alright, you get the idea.
The real joke is the wahoo offense. It smells, offensively bad. The hoos are last in the league in PPG and FT%, and second worst in FG% in ACC games. They do shoot the 3-pointer very well though. They are tops in the league in 3-Pt% at 39% (just ahead of the Hokies) and 5th in makes per game at 7.2. But take away their 3-point shooting and they have nothing. Period. And that's just what duke did – holding them to just 3/12 from behind the arc – 4 fewer makes and 7 less attempts than normal.
The hoos have put up some memorably bad offensive efforts this year, especially at home. They totaled just 19 in the second half against unc in their ACC home opener and lost 62-56. Their best effort at home was the 29 second half points against ga tech in a 72-64 win, but that just points to Paul Hewitt. uva scored just 42 points against maryland at home and lost by 24 (21 in each half). They scored just 20 second half points against clemson, but won at home 49-47. And in their last game against duke, they tallied just 15 second half points and lost 56-41. Yep, they have not reached the 30 points in the second half of any of their five ACC home games and average just 23 ppg in the half where scoring should go up due to urgency.
Meanwhile, the Hokie offense is riding the gravy train on biscuit wheels. They've scored 193 points in their last two games, an all time high for a Coach Greenberg team while at VT. They've vaulted up the ACC rankings and are now 3rd in the league in PPG, 1st in FG% and FT%, and 2nd in 3-Pt%. And then there's Jeff Allen… but you can read all about that and his 19.5 PPG and 12.8 rpg over the last six games in this article: Go Nuts Big Donut.
- All Time: 52-80
- In ACC Play: 7-7
- At uva in ACC Play: 2-4 (but VT has won 2/3)
Eh, let's just not talk about the 57-54 loss at VT (RECAP). That was a totally different game due to three things:
- uva had Mike Scott who scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (he has owned the Hokies). He's out for the year but will likely be back for a fifth year next year.
- uva shot 56% in the first half, yet are a 40% team normally. The Hokies defense gave them open looks, but they were hotter than they've been at any other time this year.
- The Hokies hadn't found themselves yet with an injured Zo Hudson battling it out there, Green mostly on the bench, and Allen still being a foul machine. This is a much different VT team over two months later. They are 6-2 in their last 8 ACC games, uva has lost 8 of 10.
|Virginia Tech
|11 Green – 6-4

|1 Bell – 6-7
|2 Farrakhan 6-4
|0 Allen – 6-7
|12 Harris 6-6
|14 Davila – 6-8
|5 Sene 7-0
The hoos play four guards almost exclusively. Believe it or not, they are even more thin inside than the Hokies with Mike Scott, their best player, out for the year and Will Sherrill, a 6-9 forward that would lose to Kyle Singler in an arm-wrestling match, also out with an injury (though he's day-to-day and could possibly play Saturday). If Sherrill is out, the hoos will just go two deep on their bench. K.T. Harrell is a solid freshman guard with a great pull-up mid-range jumper, and Akil Mitchell will sub in for Sene inside, but he's just 6-8 and 221, and they clearly don't think much of him since he plays just 10-18 minutes a game despite their lack of post players.

- Feed the Donut, or Count Dunk-ila: The hoos can either put 7'0″ Assane Sene on Victor Davila and limit him, but put a 6'6″ unathletic guard (Harris) on Allen, or put Sene on Allen and Harris or Mitchell on Davila and let him outmuscle them inside. It's a no win situation for the hoos. Allen will destroy the puny Harris inside, and if Sene comes over to help Jeff has shown a great ability to pass in tight to Victor. If Sene is on him, Jeff can pop out and either shoot his midrange jumper, or if Sene comes out, take him off the dribble. They need to feed the bigs, the hoos have nothing to stop them with.
- Man Up: Expect man defense from the Hokies. The hoos shoot so many threes Tech will have to get out on them. This means Allen will likely have to guard someone smaller than him. If he's on Harris, this will limit his rebounding ability as Harris plays away from the hoop.
- Guard the Guards: Jontel Evans is very quick and a decent finisher near the rim. And Mustapha Farrakhan has improved greatly with his pump fake and drive. Delaney and Green have to limit this. The good news is Evans averages just 5.8 ppg and 40% from the field, and has shot just 8 3-pointers, so you can play off him. But Stoglin beat VT up the court on Tuesday. That can't happen. Farrakhan you have to respect and come out on, so help defense will be the key.
- Watch the Pump: The Hokies cannot foul 3-point shooters [cough, T-Bell, cough]. On the pump fake, get a hand in the shooters face, but don't run out at them and into them like they have at times lately. duke shut them down from deep by fighting over picks and forcing them to pass the ball well behind the arc. Tech will need to, too.
- Deadly Delaney: Malcolm was 2/18 from the field against purdue. He followed that up with 10/15 against uva. MD was 3/10 vs fsu, then 8/18 against unc. Malcolm doesn't have two bad games in a row, and I don't expect him to here.
- Rivalry: The hoos would love to sweep the Hokies, especially at home where they have been awful most of the year. Tech cannot look a week ahead to duke. The Hokies need to have some vinegar in their piss and come out and smack the hoos, and gain some revenge for December.
Random Thought: That uva arena sure is pretty. Pretty empty and pretty quiet most of this year. I love the Cassell. Sure it is a barn, but it is a LOUD barn. Us 'farm boys' (that are from the same well to do counties the hoos are) have it right. It's not about the architecture, it's about the fans, the coach, and the team. Yep, 3 for 3.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Sunday was 10th anniversary of the death of Marge Schott, the eccentric owner of the Reds.
While manager Terry Francona was talking to reporters Sunday morning, a story on Schott was playing on the TV behind him. Francona played for the Reds in 1987 and remembered Schott's annual team party at her home.
One of the highlights was an elephant that Scott borrowed from the Cincinnati Zoo.
"I rode that elephant at the team party," said Francona. "If you weren't good enough to tell her no, you had to ride the elephant."
Asked how he got up on the elephant, Francona laughed and said, "I can't even remember."
As for why the elephant was at a team party, "I don't remember the circumstances. I know it was there. It may have been a ride for the kids, but believe it was there. "
Three-for-three: Left fielder Michael Brantley batted three times in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Seattle and had three singles. He looked the same as he did last year when he hit .284 overall and led the Tribe going down the stretch with a .343 (34-for-98) batting average.
"Hitting is hard, but his mechanics are so simple that I think he gets ready quicker than the other guys because he can repeat his swing so often because there are bot a lot of moving parts," said manager Terry Francona. "He did the same thing last year."
Brantley came to terms on a four-year $25 million deal on Feb. 10.
Oops: Francona said one of the reasons the Indians acquired utility infielder Justin Sellers from the Dodgers on Sunday was because Jose Ramirez has been slow to recover from left thumb surgery in December. It also turns out that Ramirez suffered an ankle injury recently while running on a treadill.
Ramirez, who injured his thumb in winter ball while sliding into third base, is scheduled to play four innings Tuesday in a B game against the Angels.
Premature call? The White Sox may have called Saturday's game against the Indians too early because of rain. It turned out that the only other game Cactus League game to be rained out Saturday was a night game.
Francona felt the game could have been played, but said, "The weather was changing every 20 minutes. But it was hard to go home at 1:30 p.m. with the sun shining."
Fryman-to-Fryman: Former Tribe infielder Travis Fryman is in camp. He reports that his sons, Mason and Branden, will be the double-play combination at J.M. Tate High School in Cantonment, Fla. When Mason, a senior, pitches, he'll vacate shortstop and be replaced by Branden, who will move over from second.
Fryman is a special assistant in baseball operations after managing three years in the minors and spending two seasons as the organization's minor league infield coordinator.
Finally: Look for Ryan Raburn to spend sometime at first base later this spring . . .Bryan LaHair, recovering from surgery on his left wrist, is making progress and is expected to play in Cactus League games before the end of the month . . .Former Indians Rick Waits and Cory Snyder were in Seattle's dugout Sunday. Waits is the Mariners' new pitching coach and Snyder is their Triple-A hitting coach. .. Corey Kluber is scheduled to start against Texas' right-hander Colby Lewis Monday at 3:05 p.m. ET in Surprise, Ariz. The game will be on Indians.com.

The one Ranger waiting for an incredible performance from Henrik Lundqvist this season was King Henrik himself.
After all, he's been his own worst critic.
After Thursday's win over the Islanders in which he allowed only John Tavares to light the lamp, he told The Post's Larry Brooks, "I don't think I'm that far away, I don't think I'm playing badly but I know I'm not where I want to be and need to be."
But the goalie's 5-1 victory over the Lightning tonight proved he's a lot closer to the kind of play that won him a Vezina Trophy last year than he thinks.
"He's playing much better," John Tortorella said. "You all know he's going to get there. He's such a competitor. He was big for us early -- that game could change really quickly."
Lundqvist had to make some super-human saves in the first period as the Lightning took advantage of defensive miscues by the Blueshirts, leading to what Tortorella said were six odd-man rushes. Early in the first, after Carl Hagelin's first goal, Anton Stralman pinched in the neutral zone and had the puck taken by Vincent Lecavalier. Lundqvist stuck his right pad out on the ensuing breakaway. With almost 11 minutes left in the first, he slid to stop Corey Conacher on 2-on-1 opportunity and covered up, one of his 19 saves on the night.
"I really feel the most important part of the game was [Lundqvist] in the first period," Tortorella said. "We could easily have been down 3-2 in the first period. That's where I thought we settled down and played more of a complete game in all zones and not just running up and down the ice."
The one goal Lundqvist gave up wasn't on him -- the Rangers failed to make a clean line change with almost five minutes left in the second, leaving Stralman to fend for himself in front of Lundqvist in a 4-on-1 situation. The netminder still made a stop on the initial shot, but two failed clearing attempts led to another barrage before Lecavalier slipped a rebound under his outstretched glove as he sprawled.
It seems like forever ago that Lundqvist was pulled from the Rangers' home opener against the Penguins. It also helps that the Blueshirts aren't forced to fight their way back in games like they were early in the season -- it's the second straight game in which they've scored first (they're now 4-0-0 when leading after the one) and tallied at least four goals. Tortorella looks comfortable rotating through his four lines for what seems likethe first time all season.
But to get their star netminder in a groove is a huge part of what got the Rangers above .500 for the first time in 2013.
"I'm getting there, technically and mentally," Lundqvist said in his self-evaluation. "I think I'm starting to get close to where I need to be. We talked about it a couple of games ago and the different is not big. It's just making the extra save when you need to. I felt like I wasn't far away and the last couple of games, I felt like I did my job."
