CHICAGO - The San Francisco Giants and the Chicago Cubs played 4 1/2 innings in 6 hours, 9 minutes. And when the game was finally called early this morning, they still hoped to play some more.
CHICAGO - The San Francisco Giants and the Chicago Cubs played 4 1/2 innings in 6 hours, 9 minutes. And when the game was finally called early this morning, they still hoped to play some more.
An unplayable field following a downpour led to the game being called off at 1:16 a.m. The teams had played just enough on Tuesday night for the Cubs to earn a rain-shortened 2-0 victory.
The field conditions got so bad partly because the grounds crew couldn't get the tarp on when the storm hit.
The game was delayed a total of 4 hours, 34 minutes, and fewer than 1,000 fans remained at the finish.
Anthony Rizzo slammed a two-run homer, and Tsuyoshi Wada pitched five strong innings to send the Cubs to victory.
"We tried to wait as long as we could," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. "Because the Giants were in a pennant race, we felt an obligation to do that. I talked with the umpires a lot and (president) Theo (Epstein) talked with MLB to come up with a way to play this game the way it should be played.
"Obviously, that didn't happen, and it's unfortunate."
Nonetheless, the Giants believed they had sufficient reason for a "probable" protest, according to a team official. They lost for the seventh time in 10 games to fall 4 1/2 games behind Los Angeles in the NL West race.
"I hope they listen and watch what happened there," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who was visibly upset. "In this day and time, it shouldn't happen. It can't happen with the importance of these games. I'm going to leave it at that."
When the rain and the wind intensified in the middle of the fifth inning, home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt stopped play. The grounds crew couldn't get the manual tarp fully in place, leaving large portions of the infield exposed to the downpour for more than 10 minutes.
Because a mechanical problem wasn't at issue, there was no provision to pick up the game at a later date.
"The problem that all the parties faced was, in the baseball rulebook, there was nothing to put our hat on to suspend the game," Wendelstedt told a pool reporter. "The game became regulation with the home team winning in the top of the fifth inning. There was really no way around it."
After the rain eased up, it took nearly 1 1/2 hours for workers to remove water from the soggy infield and spread dozens of bags of compound on the dirt area.
"The one thing that everybody has to be cognizant of is, you don't want any of those guys to get hurt - period," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "As a former infielder, I can tell you the footing was going to be pretty bad."
Rookie Javier Baez walked with one out against Ryan Vogelsong in the first inning before Rizzo homered over the right-field bleachers, his 29th of the season. Of his 23 homers since May 8, 13 gave the Cubs the lead and two others tied games. He also had a single.
San Francisco had at least one hit in each inning but was 1 of 10 with runners on base. Angel Pagan and Joaquin Arias had a single and a double apiece.
Wada (3-1) scattered six hits and walked none in his third consecutive victory.
Vogelsong (7-9) allowed three hits and two walks in four innings.

An article published online last week in the journal Pediatrics suggests that $13 billion and over 900 infants' lives could be saved if 90% of infants were breastfed exclusively for six months.
According to the most recent recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), breastfeeding is beneficial to the health of both the mother and child. It may decrease rates of ovarian and breast cancer among women and bone-related injuries and diseases. The AAP recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for six months, and non-exclusively breastfed for the first year and beyond as desired.
In this study, the authors undergo a cost analysis using data from previous studies. They calculated the approximate number of infants that are breastfed and the number that are not exclusively breastfed using data from a 2005 CDC survey. Then, they looked at a collection of diseases for which a lower risk has been reported for exclusively breastfed infants and the associated health costs for those diseases. The study did not look at every disease associated with breastfeeding, and in particular left out type 2 diabetes because of insufficient data. The overall conclusion shows that the US incurs billions of dollars in excess costs due to the
At the end of the day, breastfeeding is a lifestyle choice. However, given its health benefits, it should be a more accessible option for women who do prefer to breastfeed their children. Not every mother-child pair is capable of breastfeeding, but those that are should be able to do so without excessive inconvenience. Today, many women are unable to breastfeed their infants due to inadequate maternity leave, inability to take time off of work, and insufficient access to counseling about lactation. Additionally, healthcare providers often fail to inform women about the benefits of breastfeeding, and are unable to give women practical advice regarding breastfeeding.
Increasing support services for breastfeeding could save hundreds of lives and billions of dollars, which could be directed towards saving additional lives.

He also coats all of these truffle fudge bars in a delicious layer of semi-sweet chocolate – and the result is a chocolate experience unlike any other.
Each charming box of truffle fudge bites contains two generous one ounce truffles. It is a good thing there are two, because you will crave the second one!

It didn't last for long, at least not in some areas of the media: that is, sympathetic attention to the Israeli perspective on the Gaza operation during the first day (Nov. 14), started to give way by that evening (as this column was being written) to the familiar narrative of Israel as recklessly belligerent.
During his noon report for CBC News Network and in subsequent reports that afternoon following Israel's targeted killing of Ahmed Jabari, the head of Hamas' military operations, Sasha Petricic included substantial Israeli context. He said that Israel had killed the "mastermind" behind numerous attacks on Israelis and cited the Israeli military claim that Jabari "had blood on his hands." He explained that Israel had been "showered" by rocket fire from Gaza over several days and that Israel had promised some form of retaliation in order to reassert its deterrence against further attacks. He also noted that Israeli missiles were targeting "sites [in Gaza] used for rocket firing."
However, just hours later, during his report for the National, much of the Israeli context, including any reference to Israel's efforts to destroy rocket launchers and storage sites, was missing. What remained amidst scenes of wreckage in Gaza, including a gratuitous shot of what was claimed to be Jabari's remains, was the sense of a "tit-for-tat" targeting of civilians. One could be left believing that Israel and Hamas were both simply going after civilians.
By contrast, Martin Seemungal's story for CTV National News retained considerable Israeli perspective. He included comment from IDF spokesperson Lt.-Col. Avital Liebovich explaining the reason for Israel's operation and comment from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu about the need to protect Israelis by ending attacks from Gaza. While also showing what had happened in Gaza, Seemungal ended his report on this encouraging note: "Israel said that it doesn't want war – only an end to rocket fire."
However, the turn to a negative focus on Israel was signalled by this headline in a story by the Globe and Mail's Paul Koring and Patrick Martin (online, also on the evening of Nov. 14): "Slaying of Hamas commander threatens fragile Middle East peace." While Koring and Martin included a quote from Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak that Israel doesn't want war but will no longer put up with continuing rocket fire from Gaza, they nonetheless, predictably, put the onus on Israel rather than Hamas (and the Muslim Brotherhood that supports them) for adding to regional instability. One can hardly speak of "fragile peace" while the carnage goes on unabated in Syria. This is a case of getting things precisely backwards.
Arguing that Hamas overplayed its hand, the Jerusalem Post's Yaakov Lappin provided the missing perspective: "With Hamas feeling confident over the ascendancy of its fellow Islamists in the region, and the emergence of a new patron in Cairo, it and Islamic Jihad chipped away at Israeli deterrence, attempting to set new rules by preventing the IDF from carrying out vital security missions on the Gaza border. As it built up its rocket arsenals, Hamas and the other factions responded to Israel's measures to secure the border with more and more indiscriminate rocket barrages on the long-suffering south, filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians with dread, trauma and disruption."
What other country would be expected, as Israel is, to forebear under such relentless assaults on its sovereign territory? Israel's situation is unique in the world: it's the only country that's expected to live with a substantial portion of its population – more than one million people – under this constant threat. The pummelling of Israel's south has gone on for so long that it seems almost routine, and most of the world has grown indifferent to it.
Surely Jonathan Kay asked the critical question (in his National Post column): "Why should Israel not be expected to fight back when Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups seek to murder Israelis in this fashion?"
Why not indeed?

In an open government, the process is as important as the result.
The result last year of what was supposed to be a routine police welfare check at the home of NAACP Rockford Branch President Lloyd Johnston was satisfactory. No one was hurt and the situation was resolved peacefully.
But at what cost?
The incident has added to the long-simmering feud between Rockford Police Chief Chet Epperson and the police union — the men and women on the streets who are responsible for keeping you safe.
The tension between the union and the chief has escalated to the point that the union has filed a formal complaint against Epperson with the Rockford Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
The union contends that the chief improperly injected himself into a welfare check in progress and undermined the authority of the three officers on the scene. The word "incompetence" was used to describe the chief's actions.
The union had hoped its informal requests for an investigation would be enough. When those requests were denied, union officials wrote the formal request.
The Fire and Police Commission is expected to schedule a hearing to determine probable cause.
The circumstances surrounding what happened Oct. 30 demand a full, fair, impartial, independent investigation. We wrote that sentence in November and still believe it today.
The Fire and Police Commission could ask the Winnebago County Integrity Task Force, which comprises 15 agencies, to handle the investigation. Mostly, the task force has looked into officer-related shootings, but there is plenty of expertise among members of the group to conduct an investigation into Epperson's actions.
There may be some anti-Epperson sentiment among members of that group, however, so a more appropriate approach may be to solicit a retired state's attorney from another county to pick a team and lead the probe.
It will not be an easy task. Accurate records of what happened more than eight months ago may be difficult to obtain. Difficult, but not impossible. The investigation will need to be meticulous.
Rockford has plenty of challenges because of the high crime rate in the community. It can't become a top-25 community unless crime is reduced significantly. Public safety is a key issue as Transform Rockford begins the arduous task of making this a better place to live, work and play.
The distrust between chief and officers hinders the crime-fighting ability of the force. Officers must be confident that their actions will not be second-guessed by brass sitting behind a desk downtown.
Statistics may show that crime has declined, but how many of your friends and neighbors feel safer? Officers don't need to like Epperson to be effective, but they do need to know that he supports the difficult job they do.
Johnston was within his rights to keep officers from entering his home without a warrant. But did he receive preferential treatment because he had the chief's cellphone number? Are there certain residents of Rockford who can call up the chief and make their problems disappear? That could be another aspect to the investigation.
An independent investigation is not going to repair the rift between the chief and the union. An independent investigation will not make Rockford a safer community tomorrow. However, an independent investigation could be a step toward building trust not only within the Police Department but in the community as a whole.

Local law enforcement has started its brief yet intense summer driving enforcement program.
Local law enforcement has started its brief yet intense summer driving enforcement program. The program will be in place with checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols through the first week in September. The Ridgecrest Police Department held a driving under the influence and drivers license checkpoint on Friday and will continue with a DUI Saturation Patrol next weekend.
The location of the checkpoint is a secret but up until an hour before it is in place, according to Sgt. Mike Myers of the RPD Traffic Division. Citizens can call and will be given the location of the checkpoint.
And, the checkpoints are given ample advertising, something that is not required. There is a misconception that checkpoints have to be fully advertised before being conducted. Myers explained that the department's only obligation is to offer advertising to local media, and that the local media has the choice not to publish the information.
Once the checkpoint is situated, its lit up like a Christmas Tree, with spotlights, cones, signs and a fleet of squad cars. There are "escape routes" set up, so people do not have to go through the checkpoint, as provided by law. But, there are also folks at the edges of the checkpoint, keeping an eye on cars that approach the checkpoint and use the escape route. The folks at the edge of the cones set up for the checkpoint are volunteers for the Police and Community Together, (PACT).
John Abbott, PACT volunteer said he watches for suspicious activity of vehicles approaching the checkpoint. He says he's looking for people tossing contraband or booze containers out of the car, cars that make an abrupt and suspicious detour away from checkpoint. He said has even seen drivers and passengers try and switch seats while coasting their car up to the checkpoint.
Suspicious vehicles that blatantly avoid the checkpoint are usually followed by a squad car.
At the checkpoint are sworn officers, cop cars and motorcycles, a Command Center support trailer and a gang of volunteers. Myers said there are limited funds to run these checkpoints and that it is the volunteers that make the checkpoints a reality.
There are volunteers that do various paperwork duties as well as help with peripheral duties, like Abbott. Myers explained that while the duties are not intricate, they are time consuming. Myers added that if it weren't for the volunteers, the cops getting paid overtime would be busy with the paperwork and taken away from law enforcement duties. Myers couldn't praise the volunteers enough and said more than once that it is the volunteers that make the checkpoints a reality.
"We couldn't do anything without the volunteers," Myers said. "They keep us running."
Myers said manpower is so much more effective than signage. He gave the example of a side street that had two signs stating the road was closed. The signs didn't stop a motorist from driving between the signs trying to get through. The motorist said he saw the signs, Myers said, but there was room enough to get a vehicle through. Myers said a person with a reflective vest on and the words POLICE stenciled on the back can do more to deter a motorist through than any sign can. The volunteers do not have the power to issue tickets or make arrests, but the volunteers are under the direction of the RPD. If the words and actions of the volunteer is not adhered to by a citizen, the citizen has broken the law and will be cited.
One volunteer who wanted to remain anonymous said he is third-generation living in Ridgecrest born and raised, and that since he has been with PACT, "I've seen a side of Ridgecrest I've never seen before." He said there is "a different value set" with some people that can lend itself to shady, even unlawful activity. He said he felt it a privilege to be able to help, "If we can take just one ounce off their shoulders." He said he wishes he could take pounds off, but he's doing what he can.
Myers said the sworn officers are being compensated and with overtime pay, but the volunteer officers are working on their day off.
Myers said the objective of the checkpoint is to keep the streets safe, but he says the checkpoints also serve as a deterrence. He explained that it is the philosophy of RPD Chief Ronald Strand and himself to use the spirit of the law when appropriate, but the letter of the law is used if need be.
The RPD will be conducting DUI Saturation Patrols within the city limits from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday morning, Aug. 23-24.

The incongruity of the story of Christmas - that the Creator of the universe was born in flesh as a child who spent his first night of life sleeping in a feed trough because his parents, an unmarried peasant couple, were forced to take shelter in a stable because there was no place for them in the inn - was shared Saturday and Sunday in concerts by the Rolla Choral Arts Society.
The incongruity of the story of Christmas - that the Creator of the universe was born in flesh as a child who spent his first night of life sleeping in a feed trough because his parents, an unmarried peasant couple, were forced to take shelter in a stable because there was no place for them in the inn - was shared Saturday and Sunday in concerts by the Rolla Choral Arts Society.
Performances were in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church of Rolla.
"Magnificat," by Gerald Finzi, and "O Magnum Mysterium," by Morten Lauridsen, demonstrated the irony of Christmas to anyone who had ears (as that child born in a stable was fond of saying in his adulthood as a rabbi).
The Rolla Community Choir and the Rolla High School Chamber Choir combined on the Finzi work. The Rolla Community Choir performed the Lauridsen piece.
Both "Magnificat" and "O Magnum Mysterium" stress the dichotomy between the riches of the universe found in the person of Jesus, the Son of God, and the poverty of his birth to Mary, the virgin engaged to Joseph, a common laborer.
As is obvious from the title, Finzi used Mary's beautiful soliloquy recorded in Luke 1:46-55 for the lyrics of his work. Mary spoke the words when she arrived at the home of her cousin, Elizabeth, who lived in the Judean hill country.
Both women were pregnant, Elizabeth with the child who would grow up to be John the Baptist, the prophet who would baptize Jesus. Elizabeth said that her baby "leaped in my womb for joy" when Mary entered the house and spoke her greetings.
"Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Elizabeth said.
Mary replies with what has been known for centuries as her Magnificat.
"My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior," she says. "For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden ... He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things. And the rich he hath sent empty away."
Finzi set the full Magnificat to music of great drama.
The paradox of well-trained singers – dressed in fine clothing in the setting of a well-lit, well-appointed house of worship – singing about the incarnation of God to a poor couple was further driven home by "O Magnum Mysterium."
This is another piece of music using an ancient text for the lyrics. This is not from scripture but is a chant from the Matins of Christmas. In Latin, it is just 23 words; in English, just a little longer.
The composer has said he wrote the music to express the irony of God as an infant lying in a barn with animals.
Certainly the birth of a person who was fully divine and fully human simultaneously was a momentous occasion, yet there were no city officials, no members of a ministerial alliance, no commercial leaders, no elite members of the community present at that birth.
"O great mystery, and wondrous sacrament, that animals should see the newborn Lord, lying in their manger!" is the chant in English, followed by "Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia!"
A slang word used way too much is "awesome," yet that is the word to use in describing Lauridsen's composition, which he himself calls "a quiet song of profound inner joy."
In addition to the aforementioned choirs, other performers were Rolla Men of Song, RCCC Young Singers, Rolla Community Children's Choir, Rolla Junior High Jazz Choir, Rolla High School Jazz Choir and guest musicians Ilene Morgan, flute, and Marty Munz, percussion.
Accompanists were Annie Gao and Kathy Mazzeo. Directors were Jane Tummons and Jeff Sandquist.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Maybe we should call him Timid Tim.
As Tuesday's iPhone event showed yet again, Apple under CEO Tim Cook is anything but bold. The company that reeled off one breakthrough after another under the late Steve Jobs and wasn't afraid to kill off its own successful products to make room for new ones now seems content to just stay the course.
Instead of completely new or radically redesigned gadgets or dramatically expanded product lines, we get incremental tweaks and changes. When the highlights of Tuesday's event are that Apple has introduced one new phone that comes in gold and another that comes in brightly colored plastic cases, it's clear the company's not exactly stretching itself.
"As time has gone on, each of these events has had (fewer) surprises," said Bob O'Donnell, an analyst with tech research firm IDC. Apple needs to take a risk and "shake things up again," he continued. "Otherwise people are going to write these things off as being not as compelling as they used to be."
Rumors have swirled for years that Apple is about to unveil an iWatch or an Apple TV, but it hasn't released a truly new product since the iPad in early 2010.
Yes, innovation doesn't happen on a regular time schedule, and many of Apple's breakthrough products took years of development. But the recent drought raises doubt about Cook's appetite for risk.
The big news out of Tuesday's event was that Apple, for the first time, will offer two new iPhone models, the flagship iPhone 5S and a less expensive iPhone 5C.
But the lineup change was largely cosmetic. For several years now, when Apple introduced a new iPhone model, it continued to offer its older ones, but at discounted prices. The iPhone 5C is just a new version of that old strategy. It essentially is last year's iPhone 5 with a colorful plastic case and a slightly different moniker. It has the same chip, the same camera and the same screen.
It was widely rumored that the 5C would be a new, low-cost model that could reap huge sales for Apple in developing markets like China and India. But it's not. Sure, you can get it for $100, but only with a pricey two-year contract. If you try to buy it without a contract, it will put a $550 hole in your checking account. The unlocked iPhone 5S will set you back $650.
So Apple still lacks a lineup of differently styled or priced phones.
As Avi Greengart, who covers the smartphone market for research firm Current Analysis puts it, "that's their strategy and they're sticking to it."
That Apple has taken this long to introduce such a modest addition to its iPhone lineup speaks volumes about the company's timidity under Cook. For contrast, look back on how Apple managed its iPod line under Jobs.
It's now been six years since the launch of the iPhone. Within the six-year period following the launch of the original iPod in 2001, Apple had established four distinct product lines -- the iPod Classic, the iPod Nano, the iPod Shuffle and the iPod Touch. It had already eliminated its most popular product line, the Mini, and replaced it with the Nano. It then introduced the iPhone, which by combining a phone and a digital music player threatened to undermine sales of the entire iPod line.
With the iPod, Apple offered products at a wide range of prices. And it showed it could meet the needs of different consumers. The Nano and the Shuffle weren't discounted versions of last year's model -- they were distinct products with unique features that set them apart from the higher-priced classic.
Apple also showed that it could respond to market demand and changing technology. It released the Shuffle in response to the growing market for inexpensive digital music players. And it released the Nano as flash-based players started to become a popular alternative to hard drive-based models.
A year or two ago, Apple arguably had little incentive to do anything different with its iPhone lineup. Sales were soaring and Apple was gaining share in a fast-growing market.
But Apple's smartphone sales growth has slowed markedly and it's now shedding market share. Meanwhile, the company's other business lines have seen sales slump. Apple needs some new products -- and more big hits.
Yet its recent record is one of missed opportunities. Given the success that Samsung and others have had with phones with displays of about 5 inches or so, a large-screen iPhone would seem to have obvious appeal. And given that much of the future growth in smartphones is expected to come from less developed countries, a truly low-cost iPhone would seem to be a no-brainer.
But instead of seizing those opportunities, Apple chooses to stay the course. If you want to know why, you'll have to ask Timid Tim.

Monday's annual Dover City Council meeting saw the election of Third District Councilman David L. Bonar as council president.
Members of Dover's city council gathered Monday for their annual meeting, which saw Mayor Carleton E. Carey Sr. deliver his State of the City address, and Third District Council member David L. Bonar elected council president.
The annual meeting is required by Article II, Section 9 of the Dover City Charter, and is chaired by the mayor instead of the council president.
The evening saw oaths of office administered to First District Councilman James L. Hutchison Sr., Third District Councilman Sean M. Lynn, and newly-elected at-large Councilman Timothy A. Slavin. Both Hutchison and Lynn are beginning their second consecutive terms on council.
In assuming office, Slavin broke with tradition by taking the oath attended by two homeless men from the Dover Interfaith Mission, with one, Martin "Marty" Berny, holding the Bible.
"It's my way of bringing attention to the homeless issue in Dover," Slavin explained before the session. "It's an issue we might not be able to solve, but it's one where we can show we care."
Slavin, who won the seat running unopposed, previously served on council from 2004 to 2010.
He replaces Councilman Thomas J. Leary, who had served on council since December 2007 but decided not to run for re-election this year. Council members passed a resolution thanking Leary for his years of service and awarded him several gifts, including the gavel he had used during his two years as council president.
Because they were unable to attend the annual meeting, Councilmen David L. Anderson and William F. Hare had been sworn in previously.
Committees named
Bonar's nomination for the council presidency was made by First District Councilman James L. Hutchison Jr., and seconded by fellow First District Councilwoman Beverly Williams. Mayor Carleton E. Carey Sr. congratulated Bonar somewhat prematurely, acting before the final vote was taken. When it was, however, council unanimously approved the nomination.
Bonar's choices for several key city assignments, to include Legislative, Finance and Administration, Utility, Safety Advisory and Transportation and Parks, Recreation and Community Enhancement committees, were approved unanimously and without debate.
Anderson's name was a key omission from those assignments as he is serving on active duty with the Delaware National Guard in Afghanistan and will be absent from council until April 2014.
Pay study discussed
A large portion of the evening was taken up with discussions regarding a planned examination of city workers' pay and benefits.
Lynn's Legislative, Finance and Administration Committee had discussed the subject in its April 22 meeting, directing City Manager Scott Koenig to conduct a survey of Dover city worker salaries as compared to the cities of Wilmington, Milford and Newark, as well as Kent County and the state of Delaware.
Lynn had objected to the scope of the study at that session, arguing it duplicated prior work and would not provide any new information. Instead he suggested a study be done that included other governments in the area, not necessarily just in Delaware. He was, however, overruled by the committee, which approved the more limited study.
Lynn again brought up the subject during the council meeting, stating he felt the matter should be returned to his committee for further work.
"My position is that we should not go forward with the comparison," he said, adding "I do not believe the scope is appropriate."
Lynn again suggested any study should be done using cities analogous to Dover for the comparisons, adding the choices of governments to be studied in Delaware were not similar enough to Dover to provide a proper contrast.
Lynn's move to send the report back to his committee was turned down, but a move to accept the report as it stood also failed as it did not receive the necessary five votes for approval. Slavin's attempt to table the measure until Hare returned on May 27 also was defeated.
"I think we have a stalemate," noted First District Councilwoman Beverly Williams as an aside.
Responding to a question from Bonar, Koenig said the city's staff could complete the study internally if it used only the five governments already agreed to, but that it would be more difficult to conduct a broader study given the staff's current workload. He acknowledged there would be "gaps" in the data, but added, "We have worked around those issues in the past."
Hutchison stated he felt the study is just one of several tools council can use to examine compensation for city workers, and that he agreed with its projected scope.
Lynn did not agree.
"You want to show them five trees," he said. "I want to show them the entire forest."
"I don't think our market is these five municipalities. I agree we need to give them the tools, but the tools are not these five."
"I think this really should go back to the committee," he concluded.
The discussion concluded with Bonar suggesting city staff members consult with the National League of Cities if they felt additional information was needed for the study.
Council ultimately accepted the April 22 committee report and its requirement for the market survey by a 6 to 1 vote, with Lynn voting no.
State of the city 'is good'
In his State of the City remarks, Mayor Carleton E. Carey Sr. provided a PowerPoint presentation noting accomplishments the city has made over the past 12 months.
The city police department responded to more complaints but also noted a decrease in the number of robberies since 2012, he said. City detectives solved 71 percent of the robberies that occurred in the city and 67 percent of all the burglaries, he said. Undercover or plainclothes officers working drug cases had seized considerable amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin as well as $129,000 in suspected drug money.
Carey also noted the opening of the new city library, increasing use of the Pitts Recreation Center, new businesses to include Grottos Pizza and Dick's Sporting Goods at the Dover Mall and new apartment complexes on Loockerman Street and Route 8. The Calpine electric generation facility will have its groundbreaking on June 25.

Hooksett man facing two negligent homicide charges in boating death
BRENTWOOD - A Hooksett man is facing negligent homicide charges months after a passenger fell off his boat at Northwood Lake and died.
Eric Cable, 33, was indicted on two counts of negligent homicide for the July 14 incident that resulted in the death of Brendan Yerry, 28, of Hudson.
The new charges were made public this week in superior court. A Rockingham County grand jury handed up three charges against Cable earlier this month.
Cable faces up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison on one of the new charges for allegedly operating the boat while under the influence of alcohol, according to an indictment.
Prosecutors say while Cable was driving the boat, he allowed Yerry to ride on the gunwales or straddle the bow.
Yerry fell overboard and was struck by the boat when Cable turned into the wake of another boat, according to indictments.
Yerry was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the water around 7:40 p.m., according to the New Hampshire Marine Patrol.
Divers from the N.H. Fish and Game Department spent more than 12 hours searching for Yerry's body. It was found the morning after in about 15 feet of water, 550 feet from the northeast shoreline, according to investigators.
Northwood Lake sits between Rockingham and Merrimack Counties, spanning roughly 650 acres. Prosecutors say Cable was operating the boat in Northwood.
At the time of the incident, investigators could not say how fast Cable was driving the 18-foot motor boat.
Cable was initially charged with operating under the influence. That charge was bound over to superior court. He also faces two violation-level boating offenses. He remains free on bail.
Cable will be arraigned later this month on the new charges in Rockingham County Superior Court.

Posted on November 18, 2009
When the Book Fair was started, way, way back in the last century, it had three missions, and one of those was to heighten awareness of the Newberry Library in its own neighborhood, just sort of saying "Hey there! We're a library and if you like books, you're our kind of people!"
You might not think that would be necessary. But I was reminded recently of a longtime volunteer who was picking up books for the first or second Book Fair and taking them down in an elevator. Another person on the elevator asked what was going on, and the volunteer explained about getting books for the Book Fair at the Newberry Library. "Over on Walton Street, across from the park."
"Oh, is that what that place is!" exclaimed the fellow traveler. "I always thought that was a private club, because they just built those squash courts out back." (The parking lot was new at the time.)
I actually get a lot of that, from the member of city government who thought this was the (defunct) John Crerar Library to the cab driver who told me, "Newberry Library? I thought it was the Spertus Museum!" That's better than the people who drop off their library books, thinking we're a branch of the Chicago Public Library. (This is tough, since these are invariably brought to me on the assumption that they are Book Fair donations. Honest, there is no shuttle between here and the CPL.)
We have fielded questions from people who thought this was the Ogden School (vacant lot now, across the street), the Scottish Rite Temple (across the street kittycorner), and the John J. Glessner House or the Excalibur Nightclub (similar architecture, different buildings.) I even, honest and for truly, once answered a knock on the loading dock door and found a timid young woman who asked if this was really Oprah's house.
"No," I said. "That's an entirely different Book Club."

There has been so much coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings that one has to wonder when will it end?
There has been so much coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings that one has to wonder when will it end?
Does the media play into future scenes of violence because so much information is readily available in real time?
I realize that is our job. The reason media has been around for hundreds of years is to bring the news to the people and Sleepy Eye had a real connection to the marathon through John and Mary Maas.
If this had taken place last year, Mary could have been crossing the finish line about the time the bomb exploded. That thought alone must put life into perspective.
This week, Pastor Bob Jueckstock from New Hope Church paid a tribute to the emergency workers not only at the Boston bombings, but here too, Sleepy Eye's very own emergency personnel who every day are ready to take the call to help someone in need. They do it without thinking of their own safety. BUT, the first rule in emergency response in every training session is scene safety! Putting yourself at risk and rushing into a scene before assessing if it's safe to enter is not helping potential victims or your team.
Another disaster last week was the explosion in the tiny town of West Texas. Those communities lost first responders and firefighters because they were on the scene fighting the fire when a second explosion occurred and took their lives. Maybe that situation couldn't have had a different outcome... maybe we'll never know.
Over the last 10 days there have been more disasters too, not only crazy weather patterns, but earthquakes around the world, particularly in the region of China. Western Sichuan, China experienced a 6.6 magnitude earthquake on April 20 beginning at 7:20 p.m. (our time) and they continued on throughout the day ranging from that strongest magnitude, down to a 4.8 magnitude.
One has to wonder what is the meaning of so much death and destruction in such a short period. Is it just the fact that we hear of it so much faster through the news?
Does our hearing of the deaths and disasters make us live our lives any differently? Or do we just go about our daily business as if nothing like that could ever happen in our small community? Do we change our pattens of tasks to include some kindness to someone else just because you never know what tomorrow will bring? My guess is, sadly we don't. We feel we are in a bubble of safety... ignorance is bliss and Sleepy Eye is a sleepy little town where nothing like that could ever happen here. Or could it? And, more importantly would you be ready?
Thought for the week: In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it. – Marianne Williamson.

If you go
What: Boulder City Council
When: 6 p.m. Tuesday; there is a 5 p.m. flood recovery update before the regular meeting
Where: Boulder Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway
Info: To read the memo on the "pay-as-you-go" tax and see the complete agenda, go to bit.ly/1kEgTbv
Boulder's 'pay-as-you-go' tax
The proposed "pay-as-you-go" sales tax before the City Council would raise about $27.6 million over three years, and fund projects that include:
$8.7 million for Civic Area improvements
$4 million for the Museum of Boulder
$3.85 million for renovations at the Dairy Center for the Arts
$2.5 million for an underpass at Arapahoe Avenue and 13th Street
$2 million for pedestrian lighting on University Hill
$1.5 million for pedestrian access and lighting at Chautauqua
$1.04 million for Boulder Creek path lighting
$885,000 for other creek path improvements
$750,000 for an "event street" in the Hill commercial district
$700,000 for Eben G. Fine Park stream bank restoration
$600,000 for public art
$520,000 for irrigation and street trees in the Hill commercial district.
Lighting along pedestrian routes on University Hill and along the Boulder Creek path, improvements to the Civic Area, more public art, and matching funds for a new Museum of Boulder are some of the projects that Boulder voters could be asked to fund with a short-term sales tax.
City officials have dubbed the proposed capital program "pay-as-you-go" to distinguish it from the more common capital bond programs.
Instead of issuing debt that would be paid down with revenue from a dedicated tax, the city would proceed with the identified projects as tax revenue came in over a three-year period.
There will be a public hearing and first vote on the proposed three-year, 0.3 percent sales tax Tuesday night. A second vote and public hearing are scheduled for Aug. 5.
The amount and term of the tax could change before it gets to the ballot.
The tax would raise an estimated $27.6 million over three years, according to a memo to the City Council. Each 0.1 percent generates about $3 million a year.
Boulder officials hope the tax will kickstart the rehabilitation of the Civic Area, the area bounded by Ninth and 17th streets and by Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe Avenue for which Boulder recently adopted a new master plan, and provide long-awaited public investment in University Hill.
Councilman Andrew Shoemaker, who lives on the Hill, said lighting along pedestrian routes might not seem like an exciting project, but it's one of the most frequently raised issues by students and residents.
He said more lighting along the most well-traveled routes will improve safety and accountability, with people less likely to litter or fight.
"It's a simple thing for safety," he said. "They're going to be walking. They're going to be walking at night. Let's make it safe."
The current project list includes $2 million for pedestrian lighting on University Hill, $750,000 for an "event street" in the commercial district that could be easily closed off and $520,000 for irrigation and street trees in the commercial district.
Shoemaker said it's time for the city to invest more in University Hill.
"It's been a neglected area of the city for a long time," he said. "It certainly has not received the attention that downtown has."
The proposal to use tax money for nonprofit organizations such as the Dairy Center for the Arts ($3.85 million) and the Museum of Boulder ($4 million), previously the Boulder History Museum, has been controversial at City Council.
The Museum of Boulder hopes to use an infusion of money from the city to spur a private capital campaign to turn the former Masonic Lodge at Pine Street and Broadway into a new museum dedicated to the city.
Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum has asked what will happen to the money if that campaign is unsuccessful.
A proposal to use money from the tax to rebuild the flood-ravaged Flatirons Event Center that used to house Spice of Life is no longer part of the capital program.
Many City Council members felt the cost to meet new flood requirements was too high when other event space may be built soon as part of the Civic Area or on the civic use pad at the St. Julien Hotel.
Councilman Tim Plass said he would have liked to see the event center rebuilt, but he understands the argument against it.
Plass said he hopes the variety of projects included in the package will generate broad community support.
"There are a lot of different constituencies who would support it," he said. "There are a lot of folks who would be out there working for it."

text: The population of New Town North Dakota can tell one a lot about the types of people that might live there. The population of New Town ND is much larger than the population of New Town North Dakota. This gives some indication that there are differences between the two and their inhabitants. Another clue is the way that new media spreads through the town or city. If a town is close-knit like in most towns with a New Town ND population of 10,000 people or less, news usually travels fast. People are well connected and network extremely well. In cities with a larger New Town North Dakota population of a quarter of a million or more, only major, nationwide news spreads through the entire city. It is common for cliques of people to exist within a city so that some are bypassed when news is spread. This happens mostly because there is no interest from these cliques about that particular news topic. In small towns, all news spreads quickly.

Spurs down Rockets in overtime
Jeremy Lin caught fire and brought back the Linsanity with James Harden out with a sprained ankle, finishing with a career-high tying 38 points to go along with seven assists, two steals, two blocks and four 3-pointers in an overtime loss to the Spurs. Unfortunately, after stinking it up and flirting with losing his job to Toney Douglas (who had 17 points tonight), Lin was likely on more than a few benches last night. He's not going to lose his starting job anytime soon, but he's also not likely to play this well again any time soon. Especially with Harden likely back in the next one. Omer Asik also had a career high with 21 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in the loss. He also might have been on benches after averaging just three points over his last two games. Patrick Patterson had just eight points and two rebounds in 21 minutes of an overtime win, and is officially slumping, averaging just nine points and three rebounds over his last four games. He'll get hot again, but we just don't know when. Carlos Delfino, who I picked up and started in several leagues this week, played a season-high 38 minutes, but hit just 2-of-12 shots on an off night. I liked the minutes and am holding out hope that he'll get hot again from downtown over his last three games of the week.
Tony Parker had his first career triple-double in an overtime win against the Rockets, finishing with 27 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. Maybe he's a sell-high candidate, but as long as he's healthy, he's going to put up big numbers for the Spurs. Gary Neal, who I used in some leagues last week to mixed results, caught fire with a career-high 29 points and seven 3-pointers last night. He's scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games and deserves a close look for as long as Kawhi Leonard is out with his quad injury. It would be surprising if Leonard plays this week. Danny Green stayed relevant with 14 points, six boards, five assists, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers, and is worth an add for as long as Leonard is out. Manu Ginobili added a season-high 22 points and a full stat line in the win.
Dallas rolls over Kings
Francisco Garcia exploded for a season-high 25 points, a career-high seven 3-pointers and three blocks in another start for Tyreke Evans and the Kings. Evans has missed five the his last six games with a knee injury that supposedly isn't serious, while coach Keith Smart keeps labeling him as 'probable.' I wish I had left Garcia in my 30-team lineup, but I replaced him with Kirk Hinrich at the last minute. Oops. Garcia might hold some value for as long as Evans is out, but he's a tough guy to own in most leagues due to inconsistency. Garcia's explosion limited John Salmons, who had just five points and seven assists after playing well last week. DeMarcus Cousins had 25 points and six boards, while also taking at shot at the crotch of O.J. Mayo during the game, drawing the ire of the Mavericks after the game. I doubt he gets suspended, but you never know. Cousins is out of his funk, scoring between 17 and 25 points in each of his last four games.
Shawn Marion was out again for Dallas with a groin injury, while Chris Kaman played through his "purple ankle" and had 18 points and three rebounds on 9-of-13 shooting. Congratulations if you rolled the dice on him. O.J. Mayo had another big game in a blowout with 18 points, seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on 6-of-9 shooting, and I think he's going to stay very relevant even when Dirk Nowitzki returns.
Injury News
Steve Nash's return has been delayed by nerve damage to his leg and he's now targeting the end of December for his return to the Lakers. So much for that early one-week timeframe on the injury. He's already missed 19 games, and counting.
Derrick Favors is hoping to return on Wednesday against the Spurs from his bout with plantar fasciitis.
Brook Lopez went through a full practice on Monday and is a game-time decision for Tuesday against the Knicks. He's missed five straight games with his foot injury, but I'm guessing he'll play limited minutes tonight.
Anthony Davis (ankle) practiced on Monday and is officially questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. I went ahead and started him in weekly leagues, hoping that the most games he'll miss is one. He's been out for 11 straight.
Kyrie Irving was expected to practice on Monday and then play on Tuesday against the Lakers. He's missed 11 straight games with his broken finger and his return should end any relevance Jeremy Pargo had. Dion Waiters missed another practice with his sprained ankle, which means I'd be surprised to see him tonight against the Lakers. He's now missed four straight games with the injury.
Ricky Rubio is getting closer to a return, but my guess is he won't see him until next week as he continues to work his way back from knee surgery. If you own Rubio, just watch for the daily updates. Nikola Pekovic's bothersome ankle was fine during Monday's practice so it looks like he's good to go this week.
Andrew Bynum says that his right knee feels good, but his left knee still hurts when he walks. He also said that his worst-case scenario is a return a month from now, and that his best-case scenario is a return before then. But if he still can't run, I'm not going to hold my breath that we'll see him anytime soon. He also talked about the arthritis in his knee and a lack of cartilage. I'm not an actual doctor, but in my opinion it feels more and more like he may just be shut down for the whole season.
Kevin Seraphin missed Monday's practice with the flu and will likely be a game-time decision for tonight's game against the Hornets. Randy Wittman let it slip yesterday that John Wall is still "weeks from…" and then stopped short of finishing his sentence. I'm guessing the missing word was "practicing," and Wall's return before the end of December (or any month) doesn't exactly appear guaranteed at this point.
Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich is expected to play on Tuesday against the Clippers after suffering a minor elbow injury in his last game.
Injuries abound as Blazers top Raptors
Wesley Matthews was a late scratch with his hip injury but is vowing to play on Thursday. There was also news that he'd have an MRI if he couldn't play last night, so it also wouldn't be all that surprising to see him miss more games if the results are not great. He's a warrior though, and will do whatever he can to play Thursday. Nicolas Batum was also out for the Blazers with a back injury and is iffy for the week. Sasha Pavlovic and Victor Claver started in their place, while Luke Babbitt saw minutes off the bench. Pavlovic had 10 points, seven boards and five assists, but I'm not interested in adding him or any other Blazers' bench player at this point. Damian Lillard hit just 2-of-14 shots and rolled his right ankle in one of his worst games ever, but played through it. He should be fine.
Andrea Bargnani went down with a right elbow injury and did not return to the game. X-rays were negative, but given his history, owners have to be worried about him missing more games. Amir Johnson got into quick foul trouble and played just 10 minutes before being ejected and throwing his mouthpiece at a referee, so expect a suspension for him. I'm guessing two games. Ed Davis got hot when Johnson left with two quick fouls and finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and a block in 24 minutes, and will be a hot pickup if Johnson is suspended and Bargs is going to miss time. Jonas Valanciunas had eight points, 10 rebounds and three blocks, and will also get plenty more action if Johnson and Bargs are out.
Kyle Lowry also left the game early in the second half with a right triceps injury, while he's also apparently dealing with a sore ankle. His numbers over his last three games have been dreadful and there's a chance he could miss time with this new injury. If it happens, Jose Calderon (12 points, six assists) will become a solid pick-and-play again, as usual. I hate to say it, but Lowry is nearing official 'injury-prone' status, if he's not already there. Alan Anderson is nearing a return for the Raptors from his foot injury, where he'll likely split time with Mickael Pietrus and Linas Kleiza at the wing positions. Pietrus returned from an ankle injury and had nine points on 3-of-13 shooting, while Kleiza sat this one out with a knee problem. Given the injury issues with these three players, they're all probably a bigger headache than they're worth.
Heat beat Hawks
Dwyane Wade got hot and hit 11-of-13 shots for 26 points and a full stat line in a win over the Hawks. He's hit 20-of-25 shots over his last two games and has three 3-pointers in his last five. So much for that decline, at least until the next injury happens. LeBron James added 27 points, seven boards and six assists, while Chris Bosh added 14 points and 10 boards for his seventh double-double of the season.
Josh Smith somehow hit a career-high four 3-pointers against the Heat, but added just three rebounds and a block. He also had six assists, and the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week could be ready to put up a monstrous four-game set this week. Al Horford had his sixth straight double-double with 20 points and 11 boards in the loss.
Warriors stop Bobcats
Stephen Curry played with a wrap on his knee and says he's no longer worried about his ankle. He finished with 27 points, four 3-pointers, seven rebounds, seven assists and a steal in a win over the Bobcats, and is turning out to be a true fantasy steal.
Ben Gordon hit 5-of-11 shots and three 3-pointers for 14 points in just 15 minutes off the Bobcats bench. He's played 15 minutes or less in three straight games, meaning he's no longer a must-own player now that his hot streak is over. He hit 21 3-pointers in his four games prior to having his minutes cut over his last three. Gerald Henderson is back for the Bobcats, but played just 18 minutes last night. He should bounce back, but Mike Dunlap is confusing everyone with his rotations and lineup changes, making Henderson a risky start for now. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist played 34 minutes and had 17 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a block, and was a big reason why Henderson didn't play much. MKG is always worth a close eye, but needs more nights like this one in order to be in starting lineups. Byron Mullens was back in the starting lineup and hit 6-of-14 shots and a 3-pointer for 13 points, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 29 minutes. It was good to see his minutes return to normal after getting around 15 per in each of his last three games. He's apparently over his ankle injury, but is still not a must-start player until he gets hot. Bismack Biyombo started at center and had five points, 11 boards and three more blocks, but is only worth a look if you need blocks and can take the hit that will come in the scoring department with him in your lineup.
Sixers roll Pistons
Jrue Holiday got his four-game week off to a great start with 25 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two steals, a block and a 3-pointer in a win over the Pistons, and should remain in all starting lineups. The same can be said for Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner, while Jason Richardson chipped in with 13 points, seven boards and two 3-pointers. Spencer Hawes is starting to come on and played 32 minutes, finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. I don't fully trust him, but if he keeps getting minutes and producing, he's going to demand our attention. Nick Young returned from his toe injury and had three points in 18 minutes. With Turner and Richardson playing well, Young (and Dorell Wright) are the odd men out.
Jason Maxiell has been a popular pick up in some leagues because he's been blocking shots, and had 11 boards, a steal and two more swats last night. He was also 1-of-10 from the floor for two points, and is not exactly a dominant scorer. He's averaging eight points, eight boards and more than two blocks per game in December, and is worth a look if scoring is not an issue and you need big-man stats. Kyle Singler played 29 minutes but scored just five points. He's averaging 4.8 points over his last five games and I don't have the patience to own him in any leagues. Rodney Stuckey had 19 points and five assists in 31 minutes and is finally healthy, and is worth a pick up in all leagues right now, while Tayshaun Prince quietly stayed relevant with 16 points and eight boards. Andre Drummond fell silent with two blocks and nothing else in 14 minutes against the Sixers. If Lawrence Frank ever gives him minutes, he's going to be fun to own, but it's starting to look like Frank might only turn him loose once a week or so.

Most voters in 98 of Illinois' 102 counties thought Republican Bill Brady should have been governor four years ago.
He lost to Gov. Pat Quinn by fewer than 32,000 votes — less than a percentage point. Would Illinois look different if Brady had picked up a few more votes?
We think so. And we think Brady deserves a second chance to run for governor on the Republican ticket. He is endorsed in a strong field of contenders in the March 18 primary.
Brady could have won if he had campaigned more aggressively. Instead, he allowed the opposition to define him as further to the right than most Illinoisans are comfortable with. Brady makes no apologies for his social views and says he will counter any attacks during this campaign.
Brady rightly concentrated on economic issues during the last campaign and will again this year. Illinois has the third-worst unemployment rate in the nation, the worst pension liability and is unable to pay its bills in a timely manner. Those are the issues that matter.
As a state senator, Brady voted for pension reform, distinguishing himself from colleague and fellow GOP gubernatorial hopeful Kirk Dillard. Brady acknowledges that the pension reform bill was not perfect and pledges to use the savings to cut taxes.
He also wants to dismantle the State Board of Education and put education under the governor's office to increase accountability. That's ambitious, but if Illinois schools are going to improve, there needs to be a shake-up.
Brady, who has been a state senator since 2003 and served in the Illinois House from 1993 to 2000, would implement a 35-year capital improvement plan, which is the kind of long-term thinking Illinois has lacked.
Dillard has the support of local Republicans, such as Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford and Rep. John Cabello of Machesney Park, and earned our endorsement in the GOP primary four years ago. He has been endorsed by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31, the Illinois Education Association and the Illinois Federation of Teachers.
Dillard's opponents have been critical of the union support. However, he'll need to work with those unions if he wins and to have any chance of turning the state around. Union support is a good sign for him and a good sign for Republicans should Dillard win the primary and face Quinn in the general election.
Treasurer Dan Rutherford is a strong candidate whose campaign has been hampered by allegations of sexual harassment levied by a former employee in the Treasury Department.
Rutherford has shown that he can get results. He stepped in to help keep an Illinois trucking company from moving to Iowa when other state offices failed to get involved. That was not something you'd expect a state treasurer to do, but his involvement kept the company and the jobs on this side of the state line. That kind of personal commitment would be welcome in the Governor's Mansion.
Venture capitalist Bruce Rauner is considered the front-runner, based on polls. He is by far the wealthiest of the candidates and has spent $6 million of his own money on the campaign.
Rauner proudly proclaims that he's a businessman, not a politician. "I do not fail," he told the Editorial Board in February.
Rauner's talent as a businessman and his record of civic engagement are impressive, but his lack of political experience could hamper his ability to work with the entrenched political powers in Springfield.
Illinois politics are complex and the person picked to lead the state needs to have the right mix of bold ideas and political experience. We think Bill Brady is that person and we encourage Republicans to vote for him March 18.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Junior Mark Lumpa and sophomore Andy Perez combined for eight hits to lead the Duke baseball team to a 12-2 win over UNC Greensboro Tuesday evening at the UNCG Baseball Stadium. Duke's 17 hits in the game were one shy of the team's season high, set Apr. 9 against the Spartans.
Lumpa and Perez reached base nine times, setting the tables for the Blue Devils' three, four and five hitters – Jeff Kremer, Jordan Betts and Chris Marconcini – who drove in six runs. Kremer finished the night 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored, Betts went 2-for-3 with two RBI and Marconcini was 1-for-3 with 3 RBI.
Junior Drew Van Orden (3-5) earned the win, allowing one run on four hits over three innings. Freshman James Marvel started the game and threw the first three frames, giving up one run on three hits. Sophomore Sarkis Ohanian and freshman Michael Matuella pitched the final three, hitless innings.
After two scoreless innings to start the game, Duke broke through with a run in the top of the third for the early lead. Perez started the rally with his second single of the game and Lumpa followed suit before Kremer sent a RBI base hit through the left side.
UNC Greensboro answered in the bottom of the frame as Sean Guite roped a leadoff triple and scored on a Nin Marrero grounder to short.
Ryan Munger began the fifth with a single and Perez doubled for his third hit of the ball game. Munger came home on a Lumpa infield single and Perez scored on a wild pitch to give Duke the 3-1 advantage. The Blue Devils plated a third run in the frame on a Marconcini sacrifice fly, his 35th RBI of the season.
Duke's lead extended to 6-1 in the sixth as Lumpa drove in a pair of runs with his fourth hit of the night. Sophomore Grant McCabe was hit by a pitch to start the frame and Munger picked up his second hit of the evening to set the table for Lumpa.
TJ Spina singled and scored on an Lloyd Enzor RBI base hit in the bottom of the sixth to cut the Duke advantage to 6-2.
Three more Blue Devil runs came home to put Duke on top 9-3 in the seventh. Betts, Marconcini and McCabe each drove in a run to support the Blue Devil cause.
A Perez leadoff single followed by three consecutive walks and sacrifice flies from Marconcini and junior Matt Berezo scored three more in the eighth.
Blair Betts (1-1) suffered the loss, allowing three runs while recording just one out. Spina led the UNCG offense with a 3-for-4 performance.
Next up, Duke plays host to NC State at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Chris Pratt visited hospitalized children in his "Guardians of the Galaxy" costume.
I can't come up with a sarcastic comment for that. It's just too cool.
The actor swiped his "Star Lord" costume from the Marvel hit film and wore it Wednesday to Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where he spent more than three hours giving out "Galaxy" themed toys to children, according to E! News.
He also attended a screening of his movie, took photos with the kids, and let some of them try on his costume. He's also spent time with children too ill to attend the screening.
I think I have something in my eye ... .
Children's Hospital tweeted a photo from Pratt's visit, writing "Star Lord (@prattprattpratt) cheered up our patients by sharing #GuardiansoftheGalaxy! Thanks for making them smile!" The photo shows a little boy wearing the superhero's leather jacket as a smiling Pratt looks on.
Pratt, 35, said he took his costume with him so, in case the movie became a hit, he could wear it to visit sick kids.
Sniff ... these darn allergies.
"I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone -- say, like, a (Seattle Seahawks quarterback) Russell Wilson -- and go visit kids," he told Panzer TV last month.
"If it was a big enough movie to where it would mean something to a kid who's sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I'll do that," he said. "That would give me real meaning for this movie, you know? The coolest things would be that my son can one day see this, and that maybe I can go affect some kids in a positive way, (and) be a good role model for them."
What a nice man.
