Rayland waterline break repaired
DESPITE a waterline break in the Rayland area early Wednesday morning, work done by the Jefferson County Water District enabled water to continue to be supplied to Buckeye Local High School and other areas.
Brian Mavromatis, general foreman of the Jefferson County Water District, said he didn't think anyone was completely out of water despite the problem. Also, a boil order isn't necessary because the lines weren't depressurized.
The break occurred in a field near 200 and 205 Narrows Road on a line leading from the Area G-1 tank on Jackson Heights.
Mavromatis said water wasn't shut off to the Glen Robbins area, but it was cranked down and there was still pressure in the line.
The line goes to a pump station on Jefferson 15 and then up to the Area G-2 water tank on that county road.
"What we did was backfeed from Brilliant all the way to New Alexandria and Smithfield to the G-2 tank" so water could be supplied to Buckeye Local High School and Stilwell Auto Sales, according to the foreman.
He said a water hammer in the waterline could have caused the break.
Tiltonsville supplies some water to the county system, and Tiltonsville Village Administrator Carl Sgalla said the alarm at the Tiltonsville tank went off at 5:30 a.m. That alarm goes off when water in the tank drops.

If you don't own any NIN's albums, this is definitely the place to start.
The Downward Spiral will probably forever be Trent Reznor's most popular and critically acclaimed album. And "The Fragile," in my opinion is Reznor's magnum opus. And although those are some of the best albums in modern rock, they both need time and a few plays to get into. The Downward Spiral is a classic, no doubt, but it's so intense, people unfamiliar with NIN may be initially turned off. And with the "The Fragile," there are a lot of instrumentals with long buildups and climaxes (not that that's a bad thing). Both of these albums need a few plays to really appreciate. "Pretty Hate Machine" is more meat-and-potatos and gets right to the point with each song. It's easy to digest these songs with just one listen.
NIN's debut album, Pretty Hate Machine, is instantly assessable, instantly catchy. Some industrial purists may eschew NIN for being overly assesable pop, but the hooks in these songs are undeniable. Pretty Hate Machine is not the kind of album where you listen to it a few times, every once and a while, or listen to a few songs now and then. Pretty Hate Machine is the kind of album that you get hooked on. And it's not just a few songs, the entire album is mesmerizing.
From the opening classic Head Like a Hole to the closing Ringfinger every song is meticulously crafted and delivered. Even if you know nothing at all about Trent Reznor, just by listening to any of NIN's albums, you get the sense that every song on every one of his albums is a labor of love.
This is the kind of album that any person can relate to. Trent Reznor takes universal feeling and themes of being rejected, disappointed, screwed over, dejected and depressed, and he puts it to catchy industrial beats. There is a certain healing power to the music of Nine Inch Nails. You feel a certain catharsis when you listen to Trent Reznor's music.
Pretty Hate Machine is a modern-day classic and a cornerstone in any college or alternative collection.

if anyone has ever loved and lost and recalled a deep memory without being provoked and been captured by it and felt it like it was happening and then it fades back to present, it hurts, hearing their voice, seeing their face, the surroundings in the memory are all their, temporarily stuck in your mind, reliving the joys, the bads, and coming back to reality without them, this song is powerful words from a vivid, intellegent mind.

I like how Trents lyrical style on some songs are ambiguous to most listeners. They could be drug use, women or even homosexuality references depending on how you interpret them.
You can argue all you want about the "true meaning" of these songs however only the person who put the ink onto the paper truely knows.
trent has a lyrical talent that is absent in many bands today.

One rule of thumb for committing a crime is to always have a getaway vehicle.
A little-known addendum to that rule is to make sure that vehicle is in a place where it won't get stuck in snow during the getaway.
A man who broke into an Ann Arbor Township home Monday apparently forgot that all-important addendum when his vehicle got stuck in the home's driveway, according to deputies.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office responded at 2:56 p.m. Monday to the 3500 block of North Dixboro Road in Ann Arbor Township for a report of a home invasion. An alarm had gone off at the residence, alerting both deputies and the homeowner.
When deputies arrived on scene, they found the man stuck in the driveway in his getaway vehicle, according to a Nixle alert. He was arrested and taken to the Washtenaw County Jail.
The townships east of Ann Arbor have seen multiple home invasions in the last week, in both Ann Arbor Township and Superior Township. Deputies said the man may be linked to other home invasions in the area and has a history of breaking into homes.
The man's name has not yet been released and it's unknown if the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office has filed any charges against him.

Results tagged ' Tony Graffanino '
Crowe, Gimenez optioned; Barfield wins job
As expected, the Indians optioned OF Trevor Crowe and C Chris Gimenez to Triple-A Columbus today, leaving INFs Josh Barfield and Tony Graffanino as the lone remaining participants in the battle for the last position player spot.
We haven't spoken to Eric Wedge about these moves, but I'd imagine Graffanino — along with Andy Marte and Wilson Valdez — is being kept around in these waning days of camp in case of an injury. Barfield has been the favorite for the job all along, and he might have already been told he's won it. He's in the starting lineup at second base today.
Crowe and Gimenez both had impressive camps. Crowe hit .289 (13-for-45) with a homer, a triple, a double and three RBIs. He went 6-for-6 in stolen-base attempts. He'll be in the Columbus starting outfield alongside Matt LaPorta and Michael Brantley. If the Indians decide to part ways with David Dellucci early this season, Crowe could get the call because of the athleticism he would bring off the bench.
Gimenez not only showed he is capable of being a big-league catcher; he also proved his worth in the outfield corners and first base. Along the way, he hit .357 (10-for-28) with two homers, three doubles and seven RBIs. He had a .679 slugging percentage and .486 on-base percentage.
UPDATE: Yep, Barfield's on the club. Graffanino is expected to hang around another week and accept an assignment to Columbus.
"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and, doggone it, people like me"
Spring Training is six weeks old (and counting), and the upcoming regular season is six months long.
That's a lot of time for a ballclub and its fans to get emotionally off-track, so a little daily affirmation could be in order.
With this notion in mind, I submit to you a proposal that you all stock up on your copy of the "Cheers to You" CD now, while supplies are still in stock. You can do it! I believe in you!
The Indians looked lethargic and in need of "Cheers to You" agains the Giants today. Asdrubal Cabrera and Josh Barfield each made an error and, in general, guys were slow to get to balls and quick to make outs. "We're entering unchartered waters, in regard to the length of camp," Eric Wedge said. "We've got to sharpen ourselves and pick it up this final week, no doubt about it."
Cliff Lee was roughed up again -- eight runs (seven earned) on 12 hits with no walks and six strikeouts over five innings. He was much better late than early, and his defense didn't play well behind him, but it's still not the type of performance you expect from the reigning Cy Young winner in his penultimate spring tuneup. "It's definitely a little harder to get up for a game in Spring Training than it is in the regular season," Lee said. "It's a different intensity. But I've still go to work on locating my pitches and getting better at something each time I'm out there."
The rather uneventful battle to be the guy sitting on the bench, occasionally but not too frequently inserted into the lineup and a little-more-occasionally inserted as a pinch-runner will probably draw to its anticlimactic close tomorrow or Sunday. It's still expected to go to Barfield, who started in left field today.
Barfield still hasn't caught on at the plate. The Indians feel he has a better approach, but the results haven't been there. Barfield is an excellent athlete and a great guy, so you root for him to catch on in this utility role, because it's difficult to imagine him once again emerging as an everyday player... at least, in this organization.
There's only one spot open on the bench. David Dellucci is indeed on the club. Or at least, "as of today," as Wedge said. Obviously, Dellucci's roster spot (and Masa Kobayashi's, for that matter) is tenuous, but it looks like the Indians will at least give him the benefit of the doubt at the outset of the season. He's still not expected to play much as the fourth outfielder, especially with Mark DeRosa and, I'm assuming, Barfield in the outfield mix.
Trevor Crowe won't win the job. Wedge said Crowe is "still not exactly where he needs to be," and he's better off, in terms of development, getting regular starts in Triple-A.
Tony Graffanino won't win the job. He's had a nice camp and can bounce around the infield. But the Indians don't have a need for another veteran infielder in his mid-30s. They need speed off the bench, and it looks like Barfield will be the one to provide it.
Of course, we knew that in February, didn't we?
While the bench job announcement is impending, it will probably be a few days before we know the winner of that seventh bullpen spot. Though Wedge won't call it a "long man" role, for all intents and purposes that's what it is, which is why Zach Jackson is a favorite and Vinnie Chulk will be stretched out to pitch two or three innings Saturday in Tucson. Jackson, who is already stretched out as a result of his inclusion in the rotation battle, will start that game.
You have to figure Jackson is the favorite for that job. Though he has a fourth Minor League option available, he's already on the 40-man, whereas Chulk would have to be added. And the Indians would have about six weeks to look at Chulk in Triple-A before they have to act on him. He has an out clause in his contract that kicks in May 15.
Rafael Betancourt was relieved mid-inning by Joe Smith today. It had nothing to do with the neck kink that Betancourt suffered while on the mound yesterday. Betancourt (two runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning) is fine physically. Wedge said he wanted an opportunity to get Smith into the middle of an inning.
I'm sending a shout-out to my buddy Big Bob Petriella, who was in attendance today. We used to work as sports clerks together at the News-Herald in Willoughby, Ohio, in our youth. Until today, he had no idea I had this blog, so perhaps I can use this space to rip him.
(Clarence Clemons' saxophone solo in "Jungleland")
Today's blog headline goes out to the Indians' resident iTrac vision training specialist Jason Stein, also known in these parts as the "Master of Self-Promotion."
Stein and I don't see eye to eye on, well, anything, and not just because he's taller than me. One of our many arguments yesterday centered on music. He claimed that Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland" (referenced in yesterday's blog headline) has a superfluous saxophone solo, while I claim that the solo is the greatest saxophone solo in rock history (granted, it didn't have a heck of a lot of real competition for this honor, but it's an honor, nonetheless), and, therefore, integral to the song's beauty.
Stein's contention was that he listens to music for the lyrics, and he said the simple fact that you can't "quote" a saxophone solo in my blog postings is proof enough that the musical interludes don't matter.
So, out of pure spite, I'm sticking it to Stein with The Big Man's solo today, in headline form. If you close your eyes, I swear you can hear it. Or you can just watch it here.
If you can't tell from the above post, it's another slow day in camp. And let's face it... this is what you might call a trend. The early days of camp are always rather mundane, but at least it gives us plenty of time to bicker over Bruce.
Pitching coach Carl Willis said Kerry Wood looked good yesterday -- too good, in fact. Wood's stuff is way ahead of where it needs to be this time of year. "He was impressive, to say the least," Willis said, shaking his head. "By no means was he out of control, but we might have to slow him down a tad."
In the clubhouse this morning, after PFPs had wrapped up, several of the pitchers were watching a show about Game 7 of the '97 World Series on the MLB Network. Jensen Lewis said he still remembers watching that game on his couch. "I rubbed my face raw with nerves," he said.
The position players took BP for the first time on Field No. 1 this morning. That's the one with the exact dimensions of Progressive Field.
The full-squad is in-house. In fact, the addition of Tony Graffanino means an even 60 players are in camp. So each and every one of the 60 lockers in the Indians' clubhouse is spoken for. Lots of elbow-bumping going on.
Position players took their physicals. Their two-on-one meetings with Eric Wedge and Mark Shapiro have been pushed back because of Shapiro's absence due to a death in the family. When Shapiro returns this week, the meetings will be spread out over the course of three days.
One number change this year: Jamey Carroll has given up No. 7 to Mark DeRosa and taken No. 11. Carroll was hoping he might get something in return for the number (a nice steak dinner, perhaps?), but it hasn't happened yet. And Carroll is already justifying the situation by praising his new number. "It's a one for each kid," said Carroll, whose wife, Kim, gave birth to twins last year.
Josh Weir of the Canton Repository pointed out that Ben Francisco and Shin-Soo Choo each have exactly 509 Major League at-bats under their belt. What are the odds of that? (Note: Please don't conjure up some scientific formula that proves the odds were actually quite good, thereby making me look like an idiot. Please.)
You knew this story was coming, and it's a shame. Winter Haven businesses will be hurt by the Indians' absence. One estimate is that Spring Training generated $25 million in economic impact for the city each year.
Finally, it just dawned on me that Richie Cannata's sax solo on Billy Joel's "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" is also quite good. Not "Jungleland" good, but still good.
UPDATE: Wedge said, in general, he was happy with the shape guys reported in. But without naming names, he said, "There's always a couple that don't look quite how you want them to." Then he added sarcastically, "It's not like you have anything to get in shape for."
UPDATE No. 2: Alto Reed. "Turn the Page." How did I forget that one? Yes, yes, that definitely needs consideration for top sax solo. I'm biased, of course, so I'd still list The Big Man at No. 1, but Alto's up there. And does anybody know his real name? It can't be Alto Reed, right? This has always bugged me, but I've never seen an original name. If his birth name really was Alto Reed, he had no choice but to become a saxophonist. It's the same as that old Seinfeld bit about naming your kid Jeeves and, thus, sealing his fate as a butler. Then again, if you're named Jeeves, you can also become the guy who answers everybody's questions on the Internet. OK, I'm rambling.
Graffanino coming to camp
The Indians have signed infielder Tony Graffanino to a Minor League contract and invited him to spring camp. He'll be here Monday.
Graffanino, 36, has played 12 big-league seasons with six teams, batting a combined .267 with 58 homers and 302 RBIs. He was batting .238 with nine homers and 30 RBIs in 86 games for the Brewers in 2007 before suffering a season-ending right knee injury in August.
Last year, coming off the knee rehabilitation, Graffanino signed a Minor League deal with the Tribe and played in 25 games at Triple-A Buffalo. He hit .315 with seven doubles, a triple and six RBIs, playing all four infield spots.
Graffanino is the 20th non-roster player invited to camp.

I love the Ratchet & Clank series too (why the hell didn't I buy a PS3...), but no games really come to mind that compare to it... including on other systems. It's pretty zany with the absurd weapons in the game, so not too many games compete with it in that compartment, lol.
Although it's not for the Wii, I could certainly recommend the PS2 games Jak 2 and Jak 3. Although it's not AS crazy, it's a non-realistic 3rd person shooter with some kick ass weaponry, and a somewhat similar feel to the combat. I loved 'em both. I'm still surprised they weren't made by the same company.
Jak 1 might not be your cup of tea, though. It's not combat based and it's more of a platformer, there aren't any guns at all in the first one. They really made a 180 with Jak 2 and 3, and in a good way.

Getting elected is no doubt an impossibly difficult thing. Staying elected, that strange balance of being everything to everybody, is no doubt just as hard, if not harder. This week, the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC) released a report saying this province was doing pretty darned well — but only as long as oil taxes and royalties keep flowing. It's an old story: you can look at the last eight years of provincial government as a government that has been sitting on a great big, black oil bank account that can never be refilled, but that can be spent to the point that we're actually spending more than we can produce by draining the account. If we were a household, it would be dismal financial management. Our government, meanwhile, looks at it as an opportunity — and the main part of that opportunity is to run an "energy warehouse." The warehouse is full of oil (to a degree) right now, but soon, the government hopes, Muskrat Falls hydro will be able to help fill the gap of dwindling oil fields. But Muskrat Falls, more and more, is a null-sum game. The way it looks now, the way it will be financially successful is to simply cycle any money there already is in this province, while all the time skimming profits and fees off the top. As, more and more, export opportunities for the power and power volumes from the project itself seem to be dwindling, with both Nalcor and government officials arguing we don't need money from anywhere else (we'll pay for it ourselves), the project becomes more and more both a tax and an economic drain. The government has argued — and fair enough — that a whole bunch of the money being spent on Muskrat Falls will go to businesses in this province. That's true, to a point. A lot of the on-the-ground grunt work will be done by companies here, and some businesses and business owners will do phenomenally well. At the same time, a whole bunch of money will be spent on specialized equipment and services we can't supply — cable laying and manufacture, turbine construction, steel fabrication of power towers — and that money will simply flee the province. Heck, even the main project co-ordinator, SNC-Lavalin, is from outside the province, and we're not even allowed to know what they're being paid. (Actually, we're not allowed to know what anyone is being paid. That, apparently, is a competitive secret for Nalcor. Why it needs to be secret is not clear — we're the only customers, so we should be able to know what we're paying for.) But once the project is built, a significant amount will go out every year in the form of interest to the happy bankers who will be financing their favourite kind of project — one that, no matter how much it costs, is backstopped by governments. Easy-peasy. Remember, now, all of the money to pay for that interest is slated to come from the ratepayers in this province. When it does, it will vanish from the province's economy — it won't buy coffee or cars or fast-food meals; it won't be available for new kitchen cabinets or vacation stays at Marble Mountain. In addition, both Nalcor and Emera will be taking a substantial chunk of profit against their equity — the Nalcor share you could simply look at as a new tax, because it will be spent the way the government wants it spent (the government has refused to "tie its hands" by committing to using the money in any particular way), but the Emera portion will also leave the province, destined to make its way to the pockets of Emera shareholders. So, look at it simply: the energy warehouse will have one customer — the province's ratepayers. They will pay a certain amount in to get energy — an amount they will have to pay whether they use the new energy or not — while a significant portion of the overheads leave the province. It doesn't really look like a lot of economic growth — and that's if the whole kit and caboodle actually stays on budget. Moving money around — and skimming a portion off — grows nothing. You might ask, what can be done? Well, even if we need the power some time in the future (an equation that carries its own doubts), there's no guarantee that we can afford the everyone-takes-a-cut-off-the-top model that will supply it. The real problem is that we're already in too deep — there are those who are talking about stopping the project, putting on the brakes before it's too late. It's already too late. Our government has made its bets on a particular hand — the money is in the pot, and while we took our eyes off the game, they pushed everything in. There are models whereby this all might work out — the problem is that the models are changing every day, and not in a good way. There will be short-term winners in the province — business people, senior Nalcor executives, engineering firms — and long-term winners outside the province, like Nova Scotia ratepayers, bankers and Nova Scotia electrical companies. In the land of we-put-up-the-money, though, we'll get short-term gains and a footnote in the APEC bulletin for the next few years, false economic numbers built on spending both our windfalls and plunging further and further into interest-charging debt. And we'll go down as the have generation that took a world-class black gold bank account and emptied it to spend it all on ourselves. Russell Wangersky is The Telegram's editorial page editor.

Russell, I am surprised that no one yet has commented on your statement that it is too late to put the breaks on the Muskrat Falls project. We have lost the potential for power sales into the USA spot market. Nova Scotia may not be a partner, which will cancel the Federal guarantee. There is the legal challenges on the Water Management Act. The North Spur solution is unknown. Island power peak demand is only about half of that forecast, Oil costs for Holyrood is low enough that our power cost will actually drop this year.....is there anything at all positive? The economics seem fatally flawed as critics claim. And if we have spent and committed one or two billion, does it make since to spend 8 to 10 billion? It's called throwing good money after bad. It seem to me that the present situation calls for a reassessment at the highest levels, and without the tunnel vision that has gotten us to this point. Whether this project should proceed is a question that requires more than your off the cuff assessment that it is too late already. That is a statement you may likely regret as we continue with the damn the torpedoes approach. You say this is essentially a tax on our citizens. And this is for a duration of 50 years. I and others look to you for guidance at this critical time, and for reasoned analysis and commentary. You say this project is essentially one to recycle money which does nothing for the economy, and yet you say we must now continue down that road. With that viewpoint you have let off the hook those that have deceived us through misinformation and secrecy. Perhaps if 60 or 70 percent of the cost were spent your view would be more acceptable. Perhaps six months from now it may be too late. At present, I am with those critics that call a reassessment, a slow down, and a proper examination to see if it should be stopped. Time is of the essence. I fear your quick dismissal of that approach will put you on the wrong side of history. Your view would seem to conform with the majority.... that it is too late already. It is said that fools rush in..... and compared to Nova scotia, we as a province rushed in to support this project. We did so largely because we were without informed, expert, extensive and reliable information, which hid the flaws and high risks from most citizens. But now, knowing these flaws, to me it seems reckless to disregard the current circumstances and not reassess. I urge you to reconsider your conclusion that it is too late.

Protein is essential for growth and development. It provides the body with energy and is needed for the manufacturing of hormones, antibodies, enzymes and tissues.
The body breaks protein down into amino acids, the building blocks of all proteins. Amino acids are either essential or non-essential.
Whenever the body makes a protein (ex: when it builds muscle) it needs a variety of amino acids for the protein making process.
How much protein is needed?
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it is recommended that 10 to 35 percent of daily calories come from protein. Below is the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for protein for different age groups.
Age Grams of Protein per Day
How to get protein in the diet:
In the United States, meat, fish and poultry are the most commonly eaten sources of protein. However, animal protein is often higher in fat than other sources of protein and can contribute to cholesterol problems over time. Following are some non-animal protein rich foods.

SLIDESHOW: SPSL-WCC Subdistrict Swim
By Brenda Sexton
The Courier-Herald
Bonney Lake, Enumclaw and Sumner swimmers and divers took their first step toward the Class 3A state meet by qualifying for the West Central District III championships during the South Puget Sound League-Western Cascade Conference subdistrict meet Oct. 23 and 24 at the Enumclaw Aquatic Center.
Swimmers were racing the clock in the 11-team meet. Only those with district times advance to the West Central District III meet Nov. 6 and 7 at Hazen High in Renton. Athletes who posted district times during the regular season also advance.
The SPSL and WCC teams will be joined by teams from the Olympic and Seamount leagues.
Diving preliminaries begin at 10 a.m. Nov. 6 with swimming at 5 p.m. The Nov. 7 swim finals begin at 3 p.m.
The top six place winners advance to state.
Several Sumner swimmers have already posted state times and will automatically advance, like the Spartans' 200-yard medley relay team of Taylor Ditty, Emma Thompson, Ashley Huynh and Sami Hendricks which won the subdistrict event and posted a state time of 1 minute, 56.06 seconds.
The same Spartan foursome won the 200 freestyle relay with a state time of 1:45.12.
Ditty and Hendricks finished one-two in the 100 freestyle with state times of 55.21 and 55.87, respectively. Ditty won the 100 backstroke with a state time of 1:01.46.
Sumner's second 200 medley relay of Jamie Morey, Lizzie Kressler, Katie Ekse and Kallan Gustafson finished ninth with a district time of 2:13.89.
Hendricks finished second in the 200 freestyle with a district time of 2:02.33.
Thompson finished third in the 100 butterfly with a district time of 1:04.58, while Kressler was seventh with a district time of 1:09.11
Gustafson raced to a fifth-place 6:02.64 district-qualifying time in the 500 freestyle.
Thompson was eighth in the backstroke in a district time of 1:08.45.
Huynh was fourth in the 100 breaststroke with a district time of 1:15.69.
Sumner's 400 freestyle relay of Kressler, Morey, Ekse and Gustafson was fourth in 4:25.73.
Enumclaw's weekend closed with a number of individual and relay district times, starting with its 200 medley relay team of Lindsay Bowden, Bella Davenport, Erin Stucker and Erin Wessel that finished fourth with a district time of 2:04.64.
Rachel Holston finished seventh in the 200 freestyle with a district time of 2:16.08
Davenport finished seventh in the 200 individual medley with a district time of 2:13.18 and second in the 100 breaststroke with a district time of 1:14.21.
Erica Bonthuis finished third in diving with 263.30 points.
Bowden was eighth in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:09.42. She also scored a district time in the 100 backstroke with a sixth-place 1:08.55.
EHS's 200 freestyle team of Wessel, Bowden, Holston and Stucker raced to fifth-place in a district time of 1:55.24. Enumclaw's second team of Davenport, Carly Hinman, Jamie Ritzdorf and Ali Ballard also set a district pace at 1:55.74.
Bonney Lake
Elise Duncan finished fifth in the 50 freestyle, just missing a district time, however, she qualified for district's in the season's final regular meet with a 27.48 time.
Kelsi Potterf, last year's No. 6 diver in the state, has qualified for state again.

The Oregonian's Joan Harvey writes a moving tribute to a favorite teacher who died this summer. Parents were "warned" when Portland school officials took the unusual step of bringing a Japanese American teacher to Abernethy School in 1951. Harvey writes that he was destined to teach:
I don't know if any of those other teachers could become a George Katagiri. I'm sure Katagiri could teach anyone to be better at anything. But something tells me that great teachers are born and bred, not taught. It took his combination of character, intelligence and empathy, of his experiences as a poor, discriminated-against, interned student to make him the teacher he was.

Hey, Hoynsie: Didn't the idea of "leveraging" Justin Masterson out of the starting rotation begin in June when the Boston Red Sox were trying to reacquire him for use as a long reliever? If so, does his current status indicate he will be offered back to the Sox again next year? -- Steve Gaylo, Thompson
Hey, Steve: Last week manager Manny Acta said if the Indians were an elite club, Masterson would be pitching set-up for them instead of starting. The Indians are light years from being an elite club and they need starting pitching badly.
I predict Masterson will be in the rotation next year. If he isn't, he will not be traded back to Boston.
Hey, Hoynsie: Has Indians CEO Paul Dolan commented publicly about the leaked financial statements of the Pirates and Marlins? -- Jeff Greene, Cleveland
Hey, Jeff: What did you want him to say, "I'm sure glad the Indians' statements weren't made public?"
Hey, Hoynsie: After decades of success with the wild card, including huge bumps in revenue, attendance, and fun for the fans, there was one lone owner who vociferously voiced his dissent. Back in September of 1993, this owner stated regarding the then-proposed wild card, "I made my arguments and went down in flames. History will prove me right. This is an exercise in folly." Who was that owner? -- Robert Beajulais, New Orleans
Hey, Robert: I'm 59 years old and I still have that nightmare about waking up for a test and not having cracked a book. I broke out in a cold sweat just reading your question. I'll take a guess and say George Steinbrenner.
Hey, Hoynsie: Why are the Indians continuing to play guys like Matt LaPorta, Jayson Nix, Luis Valbuena, Shelley Duncan and Chris Gimenez? Do we really not have more capable players in the farm system? -- R.E., Jackson, Mich.
Hey, R.E.: On Sunday, there will be seven games left in the season. It doesn't matter who plays anymore.
Hey, Hoynsie: Do you think the Tribe will give Drew Sutton a shot at third base next year? He reminds me a little bit of Casey Blake size wise and hustle wise. Sutton has done okay at shortstop so he should be able to play third. He is a switch hitter with some pop. -- Joe Eversole, Pelman, Ala.
Hey, Joe: I've liked the way Sutton has played in his short time with the Tribe. If he has any kind of shot with the Tribe next year, and this is just my opinion, it will be as a utility infielder.
Hey, Hoynsie: Recently there was a Plain Dealer article about Shin Soo Choo being a 'keeper' because he hit 20 homers and stole 20 bases this season. It reminded me of the time Omar Vizquel got the hero treatment for 2,000 hits (as opposed to the major-league standard -- 3,000). Now 20 homers and 20 steals is a nice season, but isn't 30/30 or 40/40 more worthy of praise? -- Brett Ormsby, Bay Village
Hey, Brett: Choo's 20-20 is a long way from 30-30 or 40-40. But to reach 30-30 or 40-40, you first have to reach 20-20.
-- Hoynsie

CLEVELAND, Ohio – A private icebreaker is heading to the Lake Erie Islands next week and the official in charge of hauling construction materials to Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island says it won't spoil the ice fishing.
Ice anglers aren't so sure, but the U.S. Coast Guard and the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department has given the green light to HPH Mechanical to make about four trips from Put-In-Bay to the mainland Miller Ferry docks on Catawba Island. The tug Ohio will motor from Cleveland to the islands on Monday to begin hauling barges containing about 500,000 pounds of galvanized corrugated steel on Tuesday through Thursday.
The materials are needed to replace the old Put-In-Bay municipal pier with a $5.6 million, 1,400-foot pier expanding dockage from 800 to 1,000 boats. Each piece of steel weighs about 25,000 pounds.
Large crowds of ice anglers and complaints from fishermen and ice guides were reported as reasons why HPH Mechanical of Toledo called off its initial ice-breaking effort Jan. 20.
"We're going to break ice down the east side of South Bass Island, where the ice is pretty rotten, anyway," said project manager Mark Nowakowski. "We will be far east of all of the ice fishermen and it won't affect them."
The biggest crowds of ice anglers in the island area are on the west sides of Catawba Island and South Bass Island.
The planned path takes the tug and barges close to Mouse Island, one of the most treacherous winter areas because of ice-eating currents. Nowakowski said nine all-terrain vehicles have gone through the ice in that area in just the past few days. A Range Rover SUV went through the ice there a couple of weeks ago.
Long-time Put-In-Bay ice guide Bud Gehring said the operation could endanger some winter travelers heading to ice fishing, or traveling from the mainland to the islands. He doesn't believe, though, that it will be a problem for the large gatherings of ice fishermen, vehicles and shanties.
"I'm more concerned about the safety of people going on the ice," said Gehring. "People may not know about the ice-breaker and the risk. We have people coming here from Pelee Island, and hundreds on snowmobiles and ATVs make the trip from the mainland every day."
Gehring disputed the claim that ice on the east side of South Bass Island was in poor shape. He said it is 18- to 20-inches thick, the same as on the west side of the island.
Friday's gale force winds and a warming trend will trim the adventurous crowds going into the weekend. Similar strong southerly winds and a warm spell in February 2009 brought county, state and federal crews to Lake Erie after the weather caused ice to begin to break apart, stranding about 200 ice fishermen on ice floes.
Gehring cancelled his Thursday and Friday bookings because of the weather, but will be back in action on Sunday. The Lake Erie ice may have lost some of its thickness the last couple of days, but a week of below freezing temperatures has been forecast.
Nowakowski said the project could have been started earlier and the heavy steel shipped by the Miller Ferry in October, but federal grants were slow in being approved.
"Federal grants were awarded last June," he said, "but our bid on the dock work was not awarded until mid-October. It takes three months just to get the specialty steel."
Fishing shows on tap: A gaggle of walleye and bass fishing experts and angling exhibits will crowd the Vic's Sports Center Open House in Kent on Saturday and Sunday. The free show is open Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. An offsite parking area and shuttle is at the Brimfield Plaza at Rt. 43 and Tallmadge Rd.
The 17th annual Earlybird Sports Show is Feb. 28-March l in Orrville. Featured speakers range from bass expert Ron Slater of Portage Lakes Bait & Tackle to walleye guide Troy Swanger and muskie fanatic Steve Jones.
Kids fishing camp: Registration for the popular Lake and Trails Fishing Camp for kids 9 to 17 on May 2-4 is now open, but sign up right away. Last year, the three-day youth event at FFA Camp Muskingum on the shores of Leesville Lake in Carroll County was fully booked in only three weeks. Call Karen Metzker (330-725-8747) or visit lakeandtrails.org.
Straight shooting: Local archery clubs are kicking off monthly shoots, all open to the public. Lake Milton Fish & Game Club debuts on Saturday and Sunday, followed by Lost Arrow Archery Club in Massillon on March 9, Chesterland's Geauga Bowmen on April 12-13 and the Chatham course at the South Cuyahoga Sportsmen's Association on April 20. Shoot information is listed in the Outdoor Calendar at cleveland.com/outdoors.
Chasing steelhead: Phil Hillman, the Division of Wildlife's expert on steelhead trout fishing, hosts a free clinic March 6 from 7-9 p.m. at the Akron District Office, 912 Portage Lakes Dr., Akron. Pre-registration is needed. Call Ken Fry, 330-245-3030.
Eagles flock to Lake Erie: The warm water discharge at the large DTE Energy power plant on the Lake Erie shoreline in Monroe, Mich., attracts schools of temperature-sensitive gizzard shad. This bitterly cold winter, the shad have become a bountiful feast for about 180 hungry bald eagles, as well as ducks, seagulls, heron and hawks.
Unfortunately for birders, the plant is closed to the public.
Sophisticated ice angling: Gas- and hand-powered ice augers are oversized drills used to cut an 8-inch hole in the ice for winter fishing. A new solution is Jiffy's propane-powered 4-stroke ice auger. One canister of propane is reported to be enough to cut 100 holes in foot-thick ice.

text: My rifle is having trouble cycling Hornady Leverevolution rounds. Some of them get in a bind as they are feeding into the chamber and some of them get stuck in the magazine tube and I have to use a small screwdriver to get them out. Has anyone had this issue before? It doesn't do it all of the time and never on the first round. I love the performance of the FTX bullets on deer so I really don't want to change to something different. Any advice on getting them to cycle better?

A private home health provider responded Friday to a report that its Fort Dodge sub-unit would lose its Medicare support this month.
The public was notified in a legal ad published Nov. 8 in The Messenger that the Medicare program would not pay for post-hospital extended care for Iowa Home Care LLC's clients after Nov. 25.
But Charles Ganske, the West Des Moines-based company's chief business development officer, said the legal notice is protocol related to perceived deficiences that he said were computer software issues and management communication processes, and that a plan to resolve those issues is being filed.
He said his company would continue offering uninterrupted services to its clients.
"We dispute the findings, but we're fully cooperating," Ganske said Friday, "and we fully anticipate alleviating their concerns.
"If you were a client it would be reasonable that you would know that your care will continue," he added, "that there will not be an interruption in their care."
An Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals audit of the Fort Dodge sub-unit, which serves Webster, Hamilton, Calhoun, Pocahontas, Humboldt, Wright, Hancock, Kossuth and Palo Alto counties, found Iowa Home Care LLC "is not in substantial compliance with Medicare regulations for Home Health Agencies," according to the published legal notice.
Ganske said that language is "misleading."
He called the legal notice, issued by Jennifer King, branch manager of the Medicare Survey, Certification & Enforcement Branch's Kansas City Regional Office, "standard protocol."
Kari Prescott, director of the Webster County Health Department and Environmental Health, said Thursday, "In the event that Iowa Home Care LLC is terminated from Medicare as a home health agency, the Webster County Health Department is prepared to accept clients who would like to receive services from our agency. We are also working with UnityPoint at Home, Elderbridge and other community partners to coordinate a smooth transition for the citizens of Webster County.
The published Medicare notice alerts Iowa Home Care's clients to the possibility that they would have to pay for services themselves after Nov. 25 if they received care from that provider.
"The Medicare program will not make payment for post-hospital extended care services furnished to patients who are admitted after November 25, 2013," the legal ad states. "For patients whose plan of care was established on November 25, 2013, or earlier, payment may continue for up to 30 days of post-hospital extended care services furnished after November 25, 2013."
Ganske offered reassurance.
"We apologize to any of our clients" who may have experienced alarm from the notice, he said.
"The issues were never about care," Ganske added.
Iowa Home Care LLC has branches in Boone, Marshalltown and Pella, as well as sub-units in Ottumwa and Fort Dodge.
Its Fort Dodge site is located at 1325 First Ave. S.

Sinusitis is one of the most common chronic health problems in the U.S., afflicting 37 million Americans each year. Patients suffer headaches, congestion, fatigue and other symptoms. This condition significantly impacts an individual's physical, functional, and emotional quality of life.
Historically, sinusitis patients were limited to two treatment options: medical therapy such as antibiotics and topical steroids, or conventional sinus surgery such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Medical therapy can help alleviate symptoms in as many as 80 percent of patients but is inadequate for the rest. For them, sinus surgery is often the best option. However, FESS is a conventional surgery that requires bone and tissue removal in order to open up blocked sinus passageways. In lieu of a desired treatment, approximately 900,000 patients each year elect to live with painful sinus conditions.
There is an alternative solution in endoscopic sinus surgery with the balloon sinuplasty technology. A small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway. The balloon is the inflated to gently reshape and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.
I am the first physician in this area to offer this technology. During the past three years, I have performed over 200 balloon procedures. Balloon sinuplasty is a true advance in sinus care because in many cases it can be done without removing any tissue or bone. That means faster recovery times and less post-procedure discomfort. In fact, many of my patients have been able to return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours and have had significant improvement in their symptoms.
The international, multi-center study, CLEAR, published in the journal, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, confirmed that the Balloon Sinuplasty instruments are safe and effective for opening blocked sinuses. The CLEAR study reported:
"91.6 percent patency rate at one-year; 70 patients,
"No serious adverse events at two-years; 65 patients, and
"Symptom improvement for 85 percent of patients at two years."
Sinusitis patients who are considering their options can learn more about this technology by visiting IOWAENT.COM or calling my office at 576-3100.
Dr. F.E. Gonzales, who is board certified in otolaryngology, is affiliated with Iowa ENT and Sinus Surgery Center, headquartered in Fort Dodge.

To the editor: There was a time when most worked for their wealth, a few would welch, and we all went out to help everybody. Then we all wanted to be wealthy, including the welcher, and nobody would be helpless. So we all worked to be wealthy, ignored the welcher, and helped only the helpless. Soon we made somebody else wealthy, envied the welcher and let the wealthy help the helpless.
Now we despise the wealthy, cater to the welcher and ignore the helpless. Eventually, we will penalize the wealthy, subsidize the welcher and euthanize the helpless.
To the editor: In your article, "Carolina Shores assistant town manager apologizes for culvert letter tone," commissioner Gere Dale responds to an e-mail by Marlene Stewart by stating, in part, "the board of commissioners 'runs' the town..." A little bit further he asks, "Were you 'elected' to represent the CCCS?"
To the editor: I attended the special meeting for Carolina Shores Friday. Boy, was I disappointed. Not only could these agenda items have waited for the regular meeting in August but we, the citizens of Carolina Shores,could not voice our opinions.
There was a rush to fill the vacancy left by commissioner John Csernecky with former mayor of Carolina Shores Dan Mann. After he was sworn in, he was voted in as mayor pro tem.
To the editor: There was a letter by a Mr. Shutt in June asking people to read their Bibles. For that, I fully agree because that is the reason that so many church members have been misled by some of their misled preachers.
Some preachers have been to my home to talk about religion and I would ask them questions about certain verses in the Bible, such as: Were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's 12 sons ever called Jews, and where did the word come from?
And if the Jews in the time of Jesus were Israelites, why did he send his apostles away (Matthew: 10-5)?
Waterways in Brunswick County are often busy, but they can get hectic and dangerous this time of year.
Last week, at the beginning of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, people were injured in a boat wreck near Holden Beach. How sad it is that the wreck appears to have involved alcohol and a law enforcement official who, if what he is charged with is true, should have known better.
This week, a Calabash town commissioner confirmed current town administrator Jeremy Cribb is being investigated by the town's personnel committee. Tuesday night, the board of commissioners decided to extend his probationary period for 90 more days.
Even though the town's personnel policy requires a background check of applicants, one was not done before Cribb was hired, and now questions about his experience and criminal record have surfaced.
Citizens of Calabash, is this how you want your community represented?
First, the men and women you elected for Calabash Board of Commissioners ignored town hiring policy and hired a person—for its lead administrative position—without doing any educational, work experience or criminal background checks.
You don't attend a naturalization ceremony and leave unchanged.
That's the lesson I learned earlier this month when I was assigned to cover the annual Fourth of July Festival Naturalization Ceremony in Southport.
Now, I've been to nearly every Fourth parade in Southport since I was born. (The only time I remember sitting one out is when I was eight-and-a-half months pregnant.)

Lincoln Park boys' basketball team wins section again
Playing as the home team in the gym at the old Midland High School, expectations run high for Lincoln Park Charter School. So far, the Leopards (also the mascot for Midland) have met those expectations.
They again finished undefeated in section play and finished 17-5 overall. Lincoln Park lost to just one Class A opponent – at Quigley on December 21 – and the rest of the losses came to much bigger schools.
Only one of those losses, however, has come since 6-foot-8 Elijah Minnie became eligible. He gave Lincoln Park, size, depth, and scoring and made the Leopards the likely favorite to defend their WPIAL Class A title. Minnie averages just a fraction under 20 points per game but isn't the leading scorer on his team.
Freshman Maverick Rowan leads Lincoln Park in scoring at 23 points per game.
Since the first of the year, Lincoln Park has only lost to Class AAAA Seneca Valley, 66-64. Since that game, the Leopards have won five straight against Class A opposition, winning by an average of 35 points.

Easy stocking stuffer for plant lovers
Every gardener or plant lover would enjoy the gift of paperwhites. They are annual daffodils that are foolproof. It's so nice to have something blooming inside when it's cold outside. The bulbs can be grown in any medium including gravel. All you need is a pot and some water. I like to grow them in planting mix. They'll get about 18 inches tall and the stems will be filled with white aromatic flowers. The smell though is an acquired taste and not for everyone. To me it smells like spring, to others not so much like spring.
After the bulbs are done flowering they should be relegated to the compost bin, it's almost impossible to get blooms again, although they will send up foliage each year.
The bulbs can be bought as is or sometimes already potted up for a fun gardening gift.

Every weekday from now until Selection Sunday (and every day in March) will feature analysis of the previous night plus a quick look at games with the potential to impact the final NCAA tournament field of 68.
Louisiana State: The Tigers opened the day with no top-50 victories; it ended it with two. Their prior defeat of Missouri (which won at Arkansas) gained value, while LSU collected an 87-82 defeat of Kentucky to improve to 13-6. The upcoming schedule is favorable for piling up quantitative success: Arkansas, at Georgia, Auburn and at Texas A&M.
Michigan State: Nothing to worry about here. The short-handed Spartans (19-2, 8-1 Big Ten) won in overtime at Iowa in their first game since losing aagianst Michigan. Tom Izzo's team isn't perfect and it's certainly vulnerable thanks to some injuries, but it is still stable enough to get strong results like Tuesday's.
Missouri: The Tigers (16-4, 4-3 SEC) won 75-71 at Arkansas, and that is not an easy feat. Now comes a telling three-game stretch for Frank Haith's team: Kentucky at home, followed by trips to Florida and Mississippi. The schedule eases considerably after that, but Missouri has gotten the toughest portion of its league schedule off to a fine start.
New Mexico: Down Alex Kirk for the second consecutive game, the Lobos (16-4, 7-1 Mountain West) won 78-65 at Utah State to match conference leader San Diego State's victory in Logan a few days earlier. New Mexico, its at-large chances looking better by the game, gets five of its next seven at home.
Arkansas: It's bad enough the Razorbacks (13-7, 2-5 SEC) don't win on the road, but another home loss (this time to Missouri) puts an onus on Arkansas to get hot in the second half of the conference schedule. Considering they don't play more than two consecutive games in Fayetteville the rest of the way, an extended Razorbacks winning streak looks increasingly unlikely.
Baylor: The Bears (13-7, 1-6 Big 12) continued their poor play since the start of January, losing 66-64 at home to a rebuilding West Virginia bunch that came into the day 0-8 against the top 125 of the RPI. Baylor's six-game skid has a real chance to get a bit longer: Trips to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are sandwiched around a home game with Kansas in the next week and a half. The Bears' season, once so promising, is quickly spiraling away from them.
Kentucky: The Wildcats (15-5, 5-2 SEC) were immensely lackluster in their loss at Louisiana State, and their inability to foul down five in the final 12 seconds was completely befuddling. Kentucky is going to be a tournament team barring an almost unthinkable collapse, but it is now 2-5 away from home this season. That's cause for concern.
Southern Methodist: When you play a poor nonconference schedule and own just two top-100 victories (at home against Connecticut and at Wyoming), losses to teams hovering around an RPI of 150 hurt quite a bit. The Mustangs' 78-71 loss at South Florida doesn't help, but they're still a talented bunch. This, though, was easily their worst result of the season.
La Salle at George Washington, 7: The visiting Explorers (11-8, 3-2 Atlantic 10), a round of 16 team last season, appear more likely to play the role of spoiler for others this winter. They've already upended George Washington (16-3, 4-1) once this month and go for the sweep in D.C.
Richmond at Saint Louis, 8: The visiting Spiders (14-6, 4-1 Atlantic 10) are a perfectly capable home team. Whether they can topple the Billikens (18-2, 5-0), who are 16-2 in conference home games in the last three seasons, on the road remains to be seen.
Mississippi at Tennessee, 8: Both the Rebels (14-5, 5-1 SEC) and Volunteers (12-7, 3-3) possess flawed profiles at this stage, and whoever has the head-to-head edge could have an advantage both for conference tournament seeding and in a comparison for a field of 68 bid come March.
Iowa State at Kansas, 9 (ESPNU): It's round two for these teams, this time in Lawrence. Both already boast strong resumes, but another quality victory (especially for the Cyclones) wouldn't hurt.
Arizona at Stanford, 9 (ESPN2): Could this game mark the end of a 20-game winning streak for the Wildcats? If it did, it would be the most notable triumph in coach Johnny Dawkins' six-year tenure with the Cardinal (13-6, 4-3 Pac-12).
Arizona State at California, 11 (ESPNU): California is coming off a pair of losses in Los Angeles, while the visiting Sun Devils (15-5, 4-3 Pac-12) just earned easily their most notable triumph of the season, a defeat of Colorado.

Saturday, May 19, 2012
The National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on the low pressure system that brought our area all the rain this week.
They say there is a 50% chance it could develop into a tropical system a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next day of so.
The center of the low pressure is located about 120 miles southeast of Myrtle Beach and has started taking on more tropical characteristics. Showers and thunderstorms have increased near the center of the system
It could become a tropical depression or tropical storm as it moves slowly southward or westward, an advisory from the NHC says.
Because the system is near the coast, the National Weather Service has increased the rain chance for Sunday and Sunday night to 40% and 60%, respectively.

Eligible Cars & DRIVERS
Eligible cars:
2009 onwards Caterham Superlight R300-S race cars (with updates)
Eligible drivers:
Drivers registered for, and competing in, the complete 2014 championship
Drivers with new cars bought specifically for the 2015 season (sales capped)
All other drivers (no restrictions)
Championship at a glace
|Number of rounds: 14
|Race weekends: 7
|Race duration: 30 minutes
|2014 Champion: Aaron Head
|Selected coverage on Motors TV
Launched in 2009, the R300-S provided a stepping stone between the then Roadsport-A category and the R400. However, the R300-S proved to be such an easy and rewarding car to drive, that the lap times came close to that of its much more powerful stablemate and it quickly became the premier Caterham series. The philosophy behind the R300-S is to provide a step in performance without making it necessary to have team support. The suspension on the car has fixed rate springs and dampers, like a Roadsport, reducing the need for testing and simplifying car set-up – both of which help ensure the level playing field of competition. However, professional support is prevalent in R300-S's and it's great to see the teams in the Caterham paddock promoting our championships.
In line with the increased level of performance of both the car and the drivers, team support is allowed (but not mandatory) in the Caterham Superlight Championship. Please visit our motorsport teams page to see details of the offically recognised Caterham Motorsport teams.
