Regional Report
Assess Storm Damage to Trees
Winter storms often cause large limbs to break or fall, landing on other trees, the house, other structures, or cars. The weight of storm-damaged trees and large shrubs can be great, and larger branches can be dangerous to remove or trim. Contact an arborist to assist you in performing the job in a safe manner, while reducing risk of damage to property. Look under "Tree Care" in a resource directory, or go online to check for reliable arborists in your area.
Provide Food for the Birds
While you're out, check to see if your flowering perennials you left standing have been stripped of their seeds. If so, your winter birds are probably hungry. Consider a bird feeder with black sunflower and thistle seeds. With those two favorites offered, you'll continue to see lots of feathered friends for the rest of the winter.
Replace Old, Tired Plants
No matter how hard you try, you can't always save your houseplants from decline. When they begin to look straggly and weak, it's time to get rid of them or propagate new ones from the mother plant. It's a good thing to treat yourself to new plants every now and then.
Control Gnats
Those tiny black flying insects that fly out from houseplants are most likely fungus gnats. These are, for the most part, harmless to plants, but annoying to us. A simple control is to make their living quarters less comfortable. Allow the surface of potted plants to dry out between waterings. Also, place a layer of coarse gravel or sharp sand, about 1 inch deep, over the soil surface.
Buy New Containers
When you're out shopping, check the garden department. This is the time of year when last year's pots and decorative containers are on sale. New containers help to accent houseplants and will provide a fresh new look. If the containers don't have drainage holes, you can drill holes with a masonry bit.

MORE HELMHOLDT: Mail | Notes | Weekend wrap
No pro-style quarterback had earned five-star status since 2009 until Gunner Kiel ended that streak this year with his blend of everything. He possesses the size (6-foot-4, 220 pounds), the accuracy, the velocity and the intellect to play the most high-profile position in all of sports.
But more than anything, Gunner Kiel has the name.
While his first name might describe his style or his arm, it's his last name that convinces scouts across the country that this could be America's next great QB.
The Kiel quarterback legacy began in the late 1970s at Columbus East, 45 minutes south of Indianapolis. Gunner's uncle, Blair Kiel, who would go on to start four seasons at Notre Dame and play in the NFL, was the quarterback for Columbus East while Gunner's father, Kip, played wide receiver. Kip took hold of the school's quarterback reigns after his brother left, then handed them off to a third brother when Kip graduated and moved on to Butler University.
That next generation of Kiel quarterbacks took over within the last decade at Columbus East. Gunner's oldest brother, Drew, became the school's starter as a junior in 2005. When Drew graduated and headed off to Illinois State, brother Dusty took the helm of Columbus East's offense. And when Dusty left for Indiana, the QB torch was passed to Gunner, the most heavily recruited of the brothers.
"I still think they are better than me and I have to reach their bar of excellence," Gunner told Rivals.com. "When I watched Drew play in high school, I thought he was the best player in the world. Just growing up around my brothers has been something special."
Growing up around his brothers has certainly helped mold Gunner into the quarterback he is today, according to his father. The relationship between the three brothers is traditional in the sense that Gunner took on the little brother role and looked up to his older siblings. But when the ability to throw a football is added to the mix, the result has been a recipe for gridiron success.
"The relationship has always been close, but the thing about the older two brothers is they did not cut him any slack at all," Kip Kiel said. "I think that is a big part of why Gunner developed the way he did, because obviously his older brothers were there to help him along."
Having older brothers pave the way also helped Gunner get a leg up in the recruiting process. When Notre Dame offensive coordinator Charley Molnar made his first recruiting call, the Irish assistant noted how he has known about Gunner since the seventh grade, which was when he first came to recruit Drew and saw a young Gunner tossing the football around at practice.
"Half the battle in recruiting is getting your name out, and because of his brothers, they knew about him at an early age," Kip said.
In July, Kiel announced a commitment to Indiana over offers from most of the top football programs in the country. Early in his recruitment, Kiel had reservations about Indiana because it meant he would be competing against his brother, Dusty, for the starting job. Dusty, however, erased that concern for his younger brother and steered him toward Bloomington.
Dusty was second string on the depth chart entering this season, but in recent weeks has assumed the starting job in Bloomington.
"It's awesome to watch him play and see him start," Gunner said. "Whenever I watch him go out on the field, it's special because we are so close. It's unreal seeing my brother out there doing the thing he loves to do."
Soon it will be Gunner's chance to make his mark on the college game, but before that time comes he has the final few games of his high school career to complete. This season has presented several unique opportunities, and more are on the horizon.
Earlier this season Columbus East had an opportunity to play on national television against its rivals, Columbus North. Kiel's final game as a high school star also will be played on national television after he accepted an invitation to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 7.
"The Army game is very special and I look forward to playing in it," Kiel said. "Stevie Brown (Columbus East, class of 2006) played in it and I've talked with him about it. He said it is very special representing the Army and the people who support our country."
In the name of Gunner
There is hardly a better name for a strong-armed passer than "Gunner." But the name was not meant to portend future greatness when Kip and Aleta Kiel bestowed it upon their youngest son 18 years ago. The origin, however, does have a connection to the quarterback position.
"Boomer Esiason was very popular with Cincinnati and I just remember him naming his son Gunnar, and thought that was a cool name," Kip said.
Close friends and family, however, do not call him "Gunner." To them, he's simply "G," and that may be the result of the way the five-star quarterback carries himself. The number of stars next to his name or offer letters in his shoebox did not change Gunner in the eyes of those who know him best.
"He is a pretty humble kid," Kip said. "He's not a loud, outspoken kid. He leads by example, and is vocal when he needs to be. There are guys out there who can yell and jack it up pretty good, but if you can't work hard your team's not going to follow you. That's what I am most proud of him at that position - he's pretty humble and he works hard."
Growing up, Gunner knew that his uncle, Blair, had played in the NFL for Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, Green Bay and Atlanta, but it was not a topic often discussed. The family has always been tight and Kip's brothers, along with their children, inevitably would start a game of backyard football during gatherings.
The desire to be a quarterback, though, came from a different place for Gunner. It was not the idea of picking up the flag and bearing it for the next generation. Instead, it was the appeal of standing in front of a group of men and having 10 sets of eyes looking back at him for direction.
"I never wanted to play any other positions besides quarterback because the quarterback is always in control," Gunner said. "They're the tempo-setter, the leader, and that's what I always wanted to be."
The position of quarterback, or even the sport of football, was never pushed upon Gunner by his family. He grew up feeling the support of his parents no matter the challenge he pursued, but if anyone was responsible for lighting the football fuse, it was Aleta Kiel.
"I really wouldn't be a football player without my mom," Gunner said. "She was the first person to put a football in my hands. My mom and dad have been there for us, disciplined us very well throughout our lives. Without them, I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today."
Taking the first step
Kip took it upon himself to pass down to his sons the knowledge of the game early in their lives, but also chose to step out of that role when they transitioned to high school. Columbus East has been led by head coach Bob Gaddis for the past 11 years, and Kip credits him with taking his sons' games to the next level.
"Bob's had a lot of success. Before my kids showed up there he had a lot of success," Kip noted. "I coached them all through middle school, but once they got to high school Coach Gaddis has done a tremendous job with all three of them. He runs a great offense that helps them develop as quarterbacks."
The merger of Kiel and Gaddis' offense has led Columbus East to a 7-1 record this fall. Kiel's numbers are befitting a five-star signal caller - 1,759 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and just two interceptions on 92-of-145 attempts. He has also rushed for 428 yards on the season and scored 12 touchdowns on the ground.
What Kiel seems to understand as well as any high school quarterback prospect, though, is that the numbers on a stat sheet tell only a fraction of the story and do not, in themselves, imply success. The buzzword is "intangibles," and Kiel seems to have those in bunches. But he also has a supporting cast that has helped him reach those goals, and that group involves members within his family and also those at Columbus East.
On Monday nights, Columbus East's wide receivers head over to the Kiel household for a meal and time of bonding as a group. Assistant coach Mike McBride also joins the group each week, and Kip praises McBride for his contributions in Gunner's development. Brother Drew has now graduated from Illinois State and is also around the fields at Columbus East more this fall.
"It's the combination of everybody," Kip said. "Coach Gaddis runs a great offense that is very creative. Mike McBride has been instrumental this year in developing our wide receivers and further developing Gunner. And, obviously, Drew. All of the sudden Drew has been able to make most of the games because he's graduated, so he's helped there too."
Kiel has been blessed with a strong arm and a quarterback's build, but he has also benefitted from learning off the successes and failures of those close to him. With Kiel, not only are the physical tools present, but so is the necessary mental makeup. He has a high ceiling on his potential, but also brings less risk than most because he has grown up around those who have played the position and know what it takes to achieve success.
"Having a football family like I do," he said, "definitely helps a lot."


text: I am confused why Babb wasnt able to shoot FT's at the end of the game. My roommate and I were talking and when somebody fouls someobdy else on an inbounds play, they get to shoot if they are in the bonus. But Babb didnt because he didnt have possession? Still confused about this. If anybody can explain, I would greatly appreciate it. Oh well, on to Baylor. Im expecting a crazy atmosphere and a great game.

IPhone owners tend to defend Apple's right to litigate, arguing that Apple's iconic iPhone defined what a "smartphone" meant, a model closely followed by subsequent Android devices.
While only the most extreme truly wish for a complete ban on Android handsets, Apple fans are swift to point that Apple was not the first smartphone giant to start internation litigation (that was Finland's Nokia Oyj. (
in 2009
, who ironically sued Apple) and that some smartphone makers followed the look and UI layout of Apple closer than others.
Steven P. Jobs' dying wish of "thermonuclear war" with Android is dividing the nation.
Android owners, meanwhile, balk at the idea of a ban on the world's best-selling smartphone platform, accusing Apple of malfeasance. They point out that Apple didn't "invent" much of its innovations (multi-touch, Gorilla Glass,
Retina displays
, etc.), it bought them.
They also point to Apple turning to copy some aspects of Android (
the notifications bar
, and soon -- potentially --
the larger screen size
). Lastly, they point to Apple's own history of
liberally "borrowing" operating system ideas
from others like Xerox Corp. (
) then later settling without caustic measures such as sales bans.
II. Tim Cook Goes to Washington
But for better or worse the hostility between the pair shows no signs of easing with the largest Android manufacturer Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) reaching an impasse in
settlement talks
with Apple, leading both companies' CEOs to
walk out on negotiations
regarding a potential cross-licensing truce.
Apple CEO Timothy Cook
was in Washington this week, meeting with lawmakers in an effort to emphasize his company's importance to the American economy. While the patent strife was not directly discussed, it's clear such discussions could steer decisions on
potential product bans
on a federal level.

The visit was unusual as Apple spends only a small amount on government lobbying, despite enjoying some of the perks of typical heavy lobbiers, such as liberal tax exemptions. Despite claims of government favoritism, Apple only spent $500,000 USD on lobbying in Q1 2012, about a tenth of what Google spent.
Apple also does not have a political action committee (PAC) to funnel larger donations to candidates via fund-raising events. Google and others
maintain large PACs
If appearances are accurate, Apple did much with little in terms of lobbying. In modern U.S. federal politics where money (effectively, bribes) are necessary to purchase almost any sort of bipartisan action, Apple's contributions were small and selective. Apple also relied on its late CEO Steven P. Jobs fame and close relationships with top U.S. officials,
including President Barack Obama (D)
But Apple is wising up to the fact that in order to defeat lobbying giant Google, it may need to change to more of a standard corporate lobbying footprint. In Washington, D.C. Mr. Cook reportedly met with
House Speaker John Boehner
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D-Nev.), and
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.), leaders on both sides of the aisle that control Congress.
The Apple leader emphasized points that hit close to home. For example he chatted with Minority Leader McConnell about how his iPad and iPhone
use glass
that's produced at a Corning Inc. (
) plant in Kentucky (of course, so are Android phones' screens).
The talk of domestic production reminds the federal government of the pressure to avoid a
U.S. International Trade Commission
ban on imports of the iPhone and iPad (Samsung,
new Google unit Motorola
, and HTC Corp. (
) all have pending ITC complaints against Apple, seeking injunctions). Wit that said, Mr. Cook reportedly avoided explicitly discussing the court battle or import battle at the ITC.
Of course, such visits also could
behoove Apple
in terms of getting
further tax favors
, though the timing suggests possible ties to the Android patent dispute. (Google's efforts have also focused heavily on greasing the wheels to lower taxes.)
And then there's Apple's troubles with the
U.S. Department of Justice
alleged e-book price fixing
. The DOJ is
actively suing Apple
, claiming it sought an e-book monopoly. Apple has
vigorously denied these accusations
. Some friends on both sides of the aisle could encourage the DOJ to compromise and avoid punitive litigation.
III. Apple Follows in Google's Footsteps Becoming Begrudging Lobbyist
Reportedly Mr. Cook is interested in expanding Apple's lobbying efforts, something his predecessor Steve Jobs frowned upon. A source speaking to
, "They were quiet and focused. There was no public statement, no press conference, no hoopla, just like the company, which is focused on product design and end results. [Cook] has a strong personal interest in policy issues and recognizes the role an engaged CEO can play in making a difference on those policy priorities."
A Congressional aide added, "It was an act of opening up a line of communication, but it was a first step in what hopefully will be a growing relationship. They didn't become best buds in one meeting."
[Image Source: Business Ethics]
Google, like Apple, wasn't always so politically vociferous. Both companies dodged requests to testify before the U.S. Congress in 2010 privacy hearings, leading
Sen. Commerce Chairman Jay Rockefeller
(D-W.Va.) to snap, "When people don't show up when we asked them to… all it does is increase our interest in what they're doing and why they don't show up… It was a stupid mistake for them not to show up, and I say shame on them."
But with powerful industry rivals backing potentially catastrophically damaging legislation like the
Orwellian "
), Google rapidly discovered that lobbying could not only lead to tax favors, but also help win it key allies in corporate battles (big media companies, for example paid
10 percent of active Senators' election costs
to get the SOPA build written and
moved to debate
IV. Are Product Bans on ANY Device Good for Americans?
The issue with both Apple and Google's lobbying is not only a question of tax policy fairness, or lack thereof, or fairness in terms of antitrust policy.
Given the company's outstanding legal war, it also becomes problematic in the sense of whether justice will truly be blind, particularly in federal organizations like the ITC who are directly run by appointees of officials in Congress or the U.S. President -- politicians who take
millions in lobbyist money
(hundreds of millions in President Obama's case) to get elected.
Banning any product limits consumer choice. Unfortunately, perhaps, the ITC and
U.S. Customs and Border Control
have a stranglehold on damaging product bans, given that all major manufacturers -- Motorola, Samsung, HTC, Apple, and others -- manufacture their smartphones in China.

Aside from the consumer impact, there's a secondary question of U.S. jobs. Apple clearly is emphasizing its importance to U.S. jobs and that importance is not to be neglected. But Motorola, one of Apple's targets is also a top U.S. tech firm employing thousands -- as is Google. While Apple did not start the fight with Motorola, versus Asian Android giants Samsung and HTC, today Motorola is facing the same prospect of import bans.
And while Apple's efforts against the Asian Android smartphone giants may not appear to affect American jobs, they likely will given that over half of Samsung's system-on-a-chip production is
sourced in Texas
. Likewise, all of the major Android manfuacturers use glass from Corning and chips from other companies like Intel Corp. (
) unit Infineon or Californian-based Qualcomm, Inc. (
) in their smartphone. Likewise, if handsets are banned American telecommunications companies like Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
), and AT&T, Inc. (
) will be adversely impacted.
Thus while an Android ban would hit Taiwan (HTC's home country) and South Korea (Samsung's home) first, it would create a ripple effect harming many jobs.
Product bans of either Apple or Android devices could cost American jobs -- but are politicians concerned? [Image Source: NPR]
Ultimately U.S. courts, in a "best case" scenario, may opt for slaps on the wrists of Apple and its rivals, as
Netherlands and the other regions
have done in concluded patent spats. But given that the ITC has already doled out two product bans, hope of a tidy resolution may be misplaced.
This nuclear war may claim an unknown amount of casualties in the form of competition and American jobs. But Apple and Google both remain resolute, firm in their efforts to lobby Congress for preferential treatment and to try to end each other's market offerings in court.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

Which is better? In my opinion it's Gear Second because even though Gear Third gives Luffy a lot more physical strength, I think Gear Second offers Luffy a nice balance of enchanced strength and speed which in my opinion is perfect for combat. Also if I remember correctly when Luffy was fighting the Gorgon Sisters during the Amazon Lily Arc, he said that he was going to use his full power against them, and by full power, Luffy meant Gear Second.
Lastly, please don't choose one you think is better because you think it's cooler than the other, actually choose one because of the abilites.

Torrington man sentenced for assaulting woman and dog
Published 12:00 am, Saturday, October 13, 2012
LITCHFIELD >> The court sentenced 29-year-old Kristopher Waananen to five years in jail Friday after an assault on his girlfriend and her dog.
Waananen was arrested in July by Torrington police after his ex-girlfriend claimed he showed up to her house intoxicated, later threatening her with a knife and grabbing her throat. According to the victim, Waananen hit her against a wall and threw her dog into a wall.
Police stated that Waananen was looking for $400 and a cell phone on the victim.
Waanaen was a co-conspirator to a 2010 robbery in Winsted, where he played the role of "back-up muscle." State prosecutors at the time allowed Waananen to forego jail time, urging him to "stay out of trouble."
But in July, when Waananen was arrested for first-degree robbery, fifth-degree larceny, third-degree assault, second-degree breach of peace, second-degree unlawful restraint and cruelty to animals, he triggered Litchfield Superior Court Judge James P. Ginocchio to see his new allegations as "serious" ones.
After Waananen serves five years, he will have five years of probation. He has been incarcerated since July 30.

Thousands of people in the C.S.R.A. and beyond suffer from sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and other sleep problems. These sleep disorders take a toll on their physical and emotional health and interfere with their memory and ability to learn and reason. Sleep disorders can also strain relationships and lead to serious or even fatal accidents.
Unfortunately, most people don't realize they have a sleep problem, so sleep disorders are often overlooked or untreated, increasing the risk of hypertension, heart disease, depression, diabetes and other illnesses.
If you have trouble sleeping or find it hard to stay awake during the day, you may have a sleep disorder. A simple test known as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale can help you determine if you need to see a physician.

Herald Staff report
About 40 people gathered Saturday outside Durango Joe's near Walmart, but they weren't on a tasting tour of coffee shops. Instead, they broke into two separate groups for the Traveling Road Show – a series of presentations featuring area beehives.
One group was lead by Beth Conrey, president of the Colorado State Beekeepers Association, while another group tagged along with Tina Sebestyan, founder of the 4 Corners Beekeepers Association.
4 Corners Beekeepers Association President Paula Nelson said the opportunity to assess local hives and beekeeping practices was important given threats to bee health and the rapid growth of beekeeping in the area.
Increasing interest in beekeeping, Nelson says, can be a good and bad thing.
"The hobby beekeeper may not pay attention to the good bee practices," she said.
In roughly four years, the local association has grown from a six-person club to more than a hundred members strong. "It's just exploded," said Nelson.

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — T.G.I. Friday's says a severed snake head found in a dish of broccoli at one of its upstate New York restaurants was apparently planted in the meal.
Diner Jack Pendleton says he found the decayed snake head the size of his thumb while dining last Sunday in Clifton Park.
The Ballston Lake, N.Y., man said he thought at first it was a mushroom.
The Carrollton, Texas, company today said it's asked the New York State Police to open a criminal investigation into product tampering.
Spokeswoman Amy Freshwater says tests by an independent lab confirmed the snake head was added to the cooked broccoli. The company doesn't know who put the head in the meal.
"This is obviously something we took very seriously and we immediately pulled the product from all of our restaurants until an investigation could be completed," Amy Freshwater, vice president of communication and public relations for Carlson Restaurants Worldwide, the parent of T.G.I. Friday's told AFP.
Pendleton says -- he didn't do it.
Pendleton says he hadn't intended to go public, but he e-mailed his cell phone photo of the head to his friends -- and one of them posted it on a consumer complaint Web site.

TIME Person of the Year Runner-Up: Tim Cook

Cook received runner-up for successfully filling Steve Jobs' shoes
TIME has named U.S. President Barack Obama the Person of the Year for the second time (he was also Person of the Year in 2008), but one of the runners-up for TIME's annual award was none other than
Apple's CEO Tim Cook
Why Cook? TIME had a list of reasons, ranging from the fact that Cook was the first to professionally transition to Apple's CEO without a civil war within the company, to his "Apple" look, to his ability to step in and run the company when so many thought that Steve Jobs
"Like an Apple product, Cook runs smooth and fast," said Lev Grossman, TIME. "When
Jobs died on Oct. 5, 2011
, of pancreatic cancer, there were questions about whether Cook could lead Apple. Some, myself included, wondered whether Apple was even a viable company without Jobs. Since then Cook has gone about his business apparently unintimidated by his role as successor to one of the greatest innovators in history. Cook's record hasn't been flawless, but he has presided in a masterly way over both a thorough, systematic upgrading of each of the company's major product lines and a run-up in the company's financial fortunes that can only be described as historic."
Apple was considered a tech superpower when Jobs held the reigns, putting out wildly popular devices like the iPod, iPhone and iPad during his tenure. He was a forceful, outspoken and emotional person, making the quiet and smooth Cook a questionable follower for the position.
Jobs stepped down as CEO in August 2011 and died that October having already told Cook that he was chosen as the next CEO of Apple. Since then, Cook has successfully launched products that continue to be explosively popular (the new iPad, iPhone 5,
iPad mini
) and has hit some record-breaking sales.
"Cook has done it his way," said Grossman. "Jobs was famously over the top: he came at you from across the room, flashing his lightning-bolt eyebrows, and he browbeat you till you either agreed with him or pretended to, just to make him for God's sake stop. That's not how Cook operates. He's a seducer, a Southern drawler, slow and soft-spoken. He has been observed winking. He doesn't come at you; he waits for you to come to him. And sooner or later you do, not because you have to but because, dang it, you want to."
Cook certainly has brought Apple through some tough times since his takeover. Earlier this year,
The New York Times
attacked the company for standing by while its Asian suppliers provided subpar working conditions for its workers.
Later, Apple released its first mapping service after ditching Google Maps, but once it launched, the app was a catastrophe. The service gave images that looked nothing like the location it represented, the navigation was off, and people have even
gotten lost in dangerous areas
thanks to Apple's mapping.
apologized to customers
for the issues, and Apple executives in charge of the maps service like

Cubs have confidence in Coghlan as leadoff man
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- The Cubs have been looking for a leadoff man since Emilio Bonifacio was injured, and Chris Coghlan seems to be filling that role well.
Coghlan posted his eighth career four-hit game Monday, and he led off again Tuesday for the Cubs in the first game of a day-night doubleheader against the Reds.
So far, Coghlan is 11-for-49 (.224) batting first this season, but Cubs manager Rick Renteria has seen encouraging signs.
"As a whole, his at-bats have been really good," Renteria said. "He's not going to get four hits every night, but his at-bats have been good. As a byproduct, he's getting pitches he can handle and he's seeing the ball well. He's used that slot and kind of taken off a little bit."
Bonifacio has been sidelined since June 13 with a right oblique strain, and he has been rehabbing in Mesa, Ariz. There was no timetable for his return.
Coghlan goes yard in both games of twin bill
CINCINNATI -- Chris Coghlan achieved a feat in Cincinnati no Cubs player has done since the late Ron Santo.
Coghlan hit a solo homer in the sixth inning of the first game of Tuesday's day-night doubleheader against the Reds, and belted a two-run shot in the second inning of the second game.
He's the first Cubs player to homer in both ends of a doubleheader since Alfonso Soriano did so on Sept. 15, 2007, in St. Louis, and the first Cubs player to do so in Cincinnati since Santo did on June 20, 1965. Santo hit a pair of three-run homers that day.
The Cubs outfielder, who was making his 28th and 29th starts in the two games, matched a career-high with four hits on Monday.
Impressive first outing earns Beeler another shot
CINCINNATI -- In his Major League debut on June 28, Dallas Beeler held the Nationals to one unearned run on four hits over six innings, impressing Cubs manager Rick Renteria.
Beeler will get another start Wednesday against the Reds, filling one of the vacancies created by Saturday's trade of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Athletics. Kyle Hendricks, a highly touted right-hander whom the Cubs acquired from the Rangers in July 2012, will make his Major League debut Thursday.
Beeler struck out six in his outing against the Nats.
"His ball has a lot of sink and depth," Renteria said Tuesday of the right-hander. "He works it to both sides. I thought he kept the ball down. I thought he was extremely composed in his outing with us, as was evidenced by the results. He kept us in the ballgame. ... He just showed a really good mound presence and good stuff."
Renteria hasn't seen Hendricks pitch since Spring Training, when the right-hander gave up three runs on five hits over eight innings in three outings. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter.
"In the spring, what I remember is he's a command guy and he's got to execute pitches," Renteria said of Hendricks, who was 10-5 with a 3.59 ERA in 17 starts at Triple-A Iowa. "He's got a breaking ball, fastball with some depth, a four-seam fastball. He's kind of a taller gentleman who is known for commanding the zone, which I hope he will do here."
Extra bases
• Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney will go on paternity leave Wednesday, and return to Chicago to be with his wife, Lindsay, for the birth of their third child. The Cubs will call up infielder Arismendy Alcantara from Triple-A Iowa for the remaining two games against the Reds Wednesday and Thursday. Alcantara, 22, was batting .308 with 10 home runs, 24 doubles, 11 triples and 21 stolen bases in 88 games at Iowa.
• Lefty Chris Rusin, who threw a no-hitter this year for Triple-A Iowa, was considered for the Cubs' rotation, but he will stay in the bullpen for now. Rusin pitched 3 2/3 innings in relief of starter Carlos Villanueva on Saturday against the Nationals. Jeff Samardzija was slated to start before he was traded to the Athletics.
"It wasn't easy what we asked him to do, quite frankly," manager Rick Renteria said of Rusin. "He had thrown previously, and we had him come in and pick up in the middle of an inning. He [grinded] it out and ate up some innings. He just needs to continue to pitch effectively."

In 1962, future Pulitzer Prize–winning author Alex Haley sat down with jazz musician Miles Davis for what would become an institution of American journalism—the Playboy Interview. To celebrate the Interview's 50th anniversary, Playboy has culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon's Kindle Direct platform. Here, a glimpse at our conversation with psychologist Timothy Leary from the September 1966 issue.
"When your nervous system is turned on with LSD, and all the wires are flashing, the senses begin to overlap and merge. You not only hear but see the music emerging from the speaker system—like dancing particles, like squirming curls of toothpaste. You actually see the sound, in multicolored patterns, while you're hearing it. At the same time, you are the sound, you are the note, you are the string of the violin or the piano. And every one of your organs is pulsating and having orgasms in rhythm with it."
"The three inevitable goals of the LSD session are to discover and make love with God, to discover and make love with yourself, and to discover and make love with a woman."
"In a carefully prepared, loving LSD session, a woman will inevitably have several hundred orgasms."
"The criteria for licensing the use of mild psychedelics like marijuana should be similar to those for the automobile license. The applicant would demonstrate his seriousness by studying manuals, passing written tests and getting a doctor's certificate of psychological and physical soundness. The licensing for use of powerful psychedelic drugs like LSD should be along the lines of the airplane pilot's license: intensive study and preparation, plus very stringent testing for fitness and competence."
"LSD is a specific cure for homosexuality. It's well known that most sexual perversions are the result not of biological binds but of freaky, dislocating childhood experiences of one kind or another. Consequently, it's not surprising that we've had many cases of long-term homosexuals who, under LSD, discover that they are not only genitally but genetically male, that they are basically attracted to females. The most famous and public of such cases is that of Allen Ginsberg, who has openly stated that the first time he turned on to women was during an LSD session several years ago."

This Friday, thousands of people will run through Southwest County. I mean literally -- they'll run from northern Lake Elsinore to southern Temecula.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The starting line for these extreme runners is Huntington Beach and the finishing line is the Port of San Diego -- making it a 200-mile trek. What's more, it's a nonstop marathon of sorts -- it launches at the crack of dawn Friday and doesn't stop until runners cross the finish line sometime Saturday afternoon.
The "Ragnar Relay" is accomplished in teams of 12 runners each: only one runner hits the road at a time; each participant runs three times; and each leg ranges between 3 and 8 miles.
Meanwhile, the other 11 team members ride nearby in rented vans filled with sweaty, smelly, aching, sleep-deprived teammates who use port-a-potties and throw down granola bars and energy drinks until it's their turn to run again.
So who in their right mind signs up for this madness? Me, for one. I'll be among the 7,200 or so individuals on 640 teams who will tackle this weekend's SoCal Ragnar.
My team is aptly named: "A Bad Case of the Runs."
So heads up, folks -- we arrive in Southwest County around mid-afternoon Friday. Our route in the region begins at the northern tip of Lake Elsinore at Lake Street, and travels along that long and windy road until it turns into Grand Avenue and runs west of the lake through Lakeland Village.
We continue through Wildomar along its western edge, turn onto Clinton Keith Road, then it's off through Murrieta and Temecula via mainly Washington and Jefferson avenues and straight down Old Town Front Street.
Runners then cross under the freeway, turn right on Pechanga Parkway to access Rainbow Canyon Road/Highway 395, and head south of the city, back into wilderness, toward San Diego County -- destination Coronado.
Feel free to cheer us on!
This weekend marks the fifth consecutive year Ragnar -- a national relay series -- has hosted a Southern California event. Spokesman Matt Braun said the route has largely stayed the same every year.
Try not to be annoyed by any traffic delays or pesky runners, because the race generates cash for local businesses. Braun said the SoCal race is estimated to prompt as much as $1 million in sales for local businesses, such as restaurants, gas stations and hotels.
Plus, many of the exchange points where runners trade off are at schools and churches, where fundraiser bake sales are often hosted, Braun said. This year's event also benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Southern California.
Which takes the sting out -- a little -- of the $300 or so I am paying for entry fees, van rentals, traffic volunteer support costs, gas, and other expenses. Not to mention I have to wake up at 3:30 a.m. Friday morning just to get to Huntington Beach before the starting pistol sounds off.
As to why I'd pony up so much just to put myself in what promises to be a grueling experience. Did I mention much of my route is uphill?
To challenge myself. To say that I did it. To bond with family and friends. All those reasons -- plus I might be a little crazy.

Do You Know the Face of Arthritis?
Arthritis is not an inevitable part of aging. It affects 43 million people — or one in six Americans — including children, teens and senior citizens alike.
Here in our desert communities, one in three people are affected by arthritis and related diseases.
For these people, arthritis is often a daily struggle that limits even the simplest activities that othersmay take for granted, such as dressing or bathing. It is the nation's No. 1 cause of disability, costing the U.S. economymore than $82 billion each year in medical care and lost wages.
People often think of arthritis as one disease that mainly affects the elderly. In fact, arthritis affects people in all age groups and is much more serious than the "minor aches and pains" often portrayed by the media.
DID YOU KNOW… There are more than 120 different forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. More than 300,000 children suffer from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. It has been projected that by the year 2020, one in five Americans — more than 60 million people — will have arthritis. Two-thirds of people with arthritis are under the age of 65. Nearly two-thirds of people with arthritis are women. In fact, women between the ages of 35 and 55 years are the fastest-growing group to be diagnosed with arthritis and related diseases.
In a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40 percent of respondents who said they had arthritis had not seen a doctor or rheumatologist, indicating they believed that nothing could be done.
As your partner in taking control of your arthritis, the Arthritis Foundation is here to help. Whether you or a family member has been diagnosed with arthritis or are experiencing joint pain, you can take an active role in joint health now.
Formed in 1948, the Arthritis Foundation offers free information and referral and more than 100 programs per week — most at no charge — that are designed to improve the quality of life for people with arthritis, including warm-water and land-based exercise classes, selfhelp groups, support groups, community educational forums and a multitude of educational books and brochures. For more information on the many available programs and resources in the community, please call the Arthritis Foundation at 760- 773-3076. To register for arthritis programs that are offered at the Arthritis Education Program at Eisenhower Medical Center, please call 760-773- 4535.
To learn more about arthritis, the many resources available and how the Arthritis Foundation is improving lives through research, please plan to attend a free one-hour community information meeting. "Arthritis Answers 2002" meetings will be held twice weekly this fall and will include continental breakfast, lunch and afternoon refreshment meetings. For a schedule of upcoming meetings and to reserve your seat now for the "Arthritis Answers 2002" fall meetings, please call the Coachella Valley Branch of the Arthritis Foundation at 760-773-3076 or the Arthritis Education Program at 760-773-4535, the central sources for information, education and referral on the subject of arthritis.

[1]By Ralph and Elle Parker, Anniversary Weekend Committee Co-chairs
Prayers, memories, and laughter echoed throughout St. Matthew the Evangelist Antiochian Orthodox Church [2]and its social hall during a wonderful celebration of its 25th anniversary. Father Andrew Harmon and the parish welcomed Bishop Anthony to town to preside over the weekend celebration November 15-17, 2013. It was a doubly important weekend as November 16 is both St. Matthew's Day and the actual founding date of the parish as a mission 25 years ago.
St. Matthew traces its history back to its founding as a mission extension of St. George Church in Akron, Ohio back in 1988. With the blessing of Metropolitan Philip and the leadership and guidance of Fr. Lou Mahshie, Fr. James Meena (Memory Eternal), Father Fr. Gillquist (Memory Eternal), and the work of the mission founders and many friends, the first Divine Liturgy was on December 17, 1988. Our beloved pastor, Fr. Andrew Harmon, was assigned to St. Matthew's in January, 1990, arriving with his wife Bonnie and their four sons (one more son and a daughter have come along since then!).
On Friday November 15, Bishop Anthony began the celebration weekend by having a dinner and discussion with our deacons and sub-deacons, Parish Council, members of the Order of St. Ignatius, heads of our various ministries, and the 25th Anniversary Committee. The bishop answered many questions and focused particularly on our special responsibility as Orthodox believers to share the words and promises of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to serve those in need, and to demonstrate good will to all.
On Saturday November 16, Bishop Anthony had brunch with the Brotherhood of our parish. Again, many questions and answers made for a great discussion time. The focus of the discussion ended up being on the role of Christian men in their families and how we can deal with all the current challenges to traditional morality and family life. In the early evening we had Vespers with the bishop.
Then there was a lovely banquet to celebrate our Anniversary with nearly 175 members, guests, and friends in attendance. Bishop Anthony gave his sincere congratulations on our anniversary and our God-given progress over the years. He urged us to keep working hard for the Lord and the Faith and he read to us the recently received letter from Metropolitan Philip giving his blessing to our planned future building expansion project. Sayedna Philip's timing was perfect as he sent his blessing just in time for our anniversary weekend.
Sunday morning November 17, was the highlight of the weekend as Sayedna Anthony led a beautiful and inspiring liturgy. The singing of the chanters and the congregation (yes, we all sing—the whole parish is our choir) never sounded better as we all together raised our voices in praise of God. The bishop's homily was a fascinating and moving explanation of the gospel reading from Luke 12 about the foolish rich man, and an exhortation to us to keep our priorities straight and prepare for the world to come by what we do with our lives in "the here and now." After the Liturgy, two of our parishioners, Scott and Simona Palmer, were inducted into the Order of St. Ignatius. Then to wrap up the busy weekend we all enjoyed a wonderful potluck extravaganza meal hosted by our parish's Sisterhood.
A wonderful weekend it certainly turned out to be! Thanks be to God for all of His blessings upon us!

A pool at the bottom of a lime rock quarry where Michael Bargo previously swam with an ex-girlfriend took center stage during Day 4 of his murder trial Thursday morning.
William Fockler heard more than he wanted to at the Marion County Jail. Inside the booking area on April 19, 2011, while turning himself in for violation of probation, he shared a room with Michael Bargo.
Fockler noticed Bargo's face was discolored and asked why.
The response: "When I was burning that kid Seath's body, I threw a paint can in and it blew up in my face. I was just trying to make the fire hotter," Fockler testified Thursday during Day 4 of Bargo's murder trial.
Bargo told Fockler that Seath Jackson had "raped" his girlfriend and explained details of the murder.
The testimony added to a heap of evidence presented by prosecutors Robin Arnold and Amy Berndt. That evidence places Bargo at the scene the night of Seath's death and sheds light on his involvement before and after the killing.
However, the evidence so far is less definitive in depicting Bargo as the one co-defendant in this case who ultimately fired the gun at Seath.
Bargo is charged with first-degree murder. The state is seeking the death penalty. The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case today..
Fockler gave the 12-member jury this account of what Bargo told him that day at the jail:
Seath, who was 15, walked into a Summerfield house and was struck with a board and lifted into a recliner. Bargo talked some trash and then, once he was tired, shot Seath three times.
Then they dragged the body into the bathroom and tried to break his legs. But Seath revived, so Bargo retrieved the gun and shot the teen several times in the bathtub.
"They tried to burn the body, that's what he said, that's how he got burned," Fockler told the jury.
On cross-examination defense attorney Charles Holloman pointed out inconsistencies with this telling. He also noted that it took Fockler until May 20, 2011, to report what Bargo told him at the jail.
Holloman also pointed out Bargo never mentioned any of the co-defendants.
During the morning's testimony, the focus was on a pool at the bottom of a lime rock quarry where Bargo previously swam with an ex-girlfriend.
Officials testified that they found what might have been a tooth, human tissue, and other charred remains of Seath scattered around the area in April 2011.
Other experts took the stand confirming that a piece of skull and other facial components found at the quarry were consistent with DNA taken from Seath's parents, Sonia and Scott Jackson.
Experts also identified a portion of a hip bone with surrounding charred muscle tissue, small fragments of rib cartilage, and a charred kidney among other remains found inside the fire pit behind the Summerfield house. DNA tests matched with DNA from Seath's parents.
Evidence of projectiles were also found in the human remains believed to be from a male between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on aging factors.
"My opinion, the cause of death was gunshot wound or wounds and blunt-force trauma. And, my opinion, the manner of death is homicide," testified Dr. Kyle Shaw, assistant medical examiner.
On cross-examination, Holloman asked if the blunt-force trauma or the gunshot wounds were the cause of death. Shaw stated they were "concurrent causes."
Sitting behind prosecutors, Seath's parents held onto one another as pictures of the recovered evidence were projected onto the courtroom wall.
Bargo's father, Michael Sr., and other relatives sat behind the defense.
Berndt at one point wheeled a cart toward the jury, displaying the cinder blocks and cable found at the bottom of the pool near two five-gallon paint buckets. The heavy concrete blocks placed so much weight on the cart that it let out a sickening wail as Berndt wheeled it closer to the jury for a better look.
A third bucket was recovered floating near the edge of the pool.
Fred Vyse with the Marion County Sheriff's Office commanded the underwater recovery team dispatched to search the quarry and the adjacent cliff.
"It appeared something had been thrown down into the quarry," he said.
Fingerprints were not recovered from the buckets, but footprints and bucket rings were found on a dirt road leading to the quarry.
Throughout the day the 12-member jury remained alert and engaged, often scribbling on yellow notepads.
Earlier in the morning Circuit Judge David Eddy advised that one of the jurors had been taken to the emergency room and his discharge time was uncertain by 9:30 a.m. Holloman consulted with his client and then told the judge the case could proceed using the alternate juror.
"It doesn't change anything," Holloman said during the lunch recess. "We liked him but it just so happens we liked the alternate, too."
The defense appeared quieter Thursday morning, choosing not to cross-examine several witnesses.
However, Holloman did spark to life during testimony from Maria Pagan, a crime laboratory analyst for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
She explained to the jury the process she used to compare a .22-caliber Heritage revolver in evidence to a bullet given to her by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The bullet was inside an envelope from the Medical Examiner's Office.
"In this case I was not able to determine whether or not the bullet was fired from this particular gun," Pagan said. She explained the deteriorated condition of the bullet partially led to this conclusion.
On cross-examination Holloman pressed her further, highlighting she is an expert and yet still could not link the bullet to the gun. He asked if the bullet could match "any gun of that caliber," and Pagan agreed it could.
Former Sheriff's Office crime scene technician Victoria Lancaster testified that she found a .22-caliber revolver and two containers of live ammunition hidden in a floor vent inside Charlie Ely's Summerfield home, which is where Seath was killed.
She described the gun as dirty, rusty and "fully loaded."
On Wednesday, Michael Proctor testified that he had paid Bargo with a .22-caliber revolver for yard work Bargo had performed. He remembered giving Bargo a long rifle cylinder and a magnum cylinder.
Nicole Lee, a senior crime laboratory analyst with FDLE, testified about several blood spots taken from inside the Summerfield home. Tests found Bargo's blood on the kitchen ceiling. She also found a combination of co-defendant Kyle Hooper's and Seath's blood in a swab taken from the living room floor.
The defendant, dressed in all black, remained alert but unemotional during testimony Thursday.

CLOSE to $200 in tips was stolen from Bryson's Place front counter earlier this week, leaving owner Lynn Bryson very upset.
Mrs Bryson said the tip jar and all its contents were swiped from the front counter on Tuesday afternoon.
"We were very busy," she said.
"No-one saw it happen."
The business owner said the money was bound for the multiple sclerosis charity at the end of the month.
"Each month we put the tip money towards a different charity," Mrs Bryson said.
"Usually we raise around $200, sometimes more." Mrs Bryson said the incident would not deter them from raising money.
"We will put another vase on the counter," she said.
"We won't let them beat us."
If you saw anything or have any information regarding the theft phone the Warwick Police on 4660 4444.

A's deal Taylor to White Sox for Minors pitcher
Right-hander Sanchez was signed last June as non-drafted free agent
By Jane Lee / MLB.com
OAKLAND -- The A's parted with Michael Taylor on Saturday, sending the outfielder to the White Sox in a trade that netted them Minor League right-hander Jake Sanchez.
Sanchez, signed by Chicago as a non-drafted free agent last June, was 5-4 with a 2.80 ERA and three saves in 15 games (nine starts) at Class A Kannapolis.
Taylor was once considered a top prospect, but he played in only 26 games spanning several Major League stints with the A's, hitting just .135 with one home run and one RBI.
The 28-year-old has racked up 3,053 Minor League at-bats, hitting .289 with 102 homers.

Astros play it safe by putting McHugh on DL
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com
HOUSTON -- The Astros opted to play it safe with right-hander Collin McHugh, choosing to place him on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, a move that's retroactive to Monday, with a right middle finger nail avulsion, which is when the nail pulls away from the skin.
"I don't think any time you're on the DL it's a nice thing," McHugh said. "I take a lot of pride in getting the ball every fifth day. I was talking to my wife last night and she was reminding me this is the first time I've missed a start in six years. It's not something you want, obviously, but I understand where the organization and coaching staff is coming from."
McHugh developed the condition throwing Sunday against the Angels in Anaheim and was hopeful to start Saturday against the Red Sox, but the club called left-hander Brett Oberholtzer up from Triple-A Oklahoma City and decided to give McHugh the All-Star break to fully recuperate.
"We have guys that have thrown the ball really well who can come up and give you a blow," McHugh said. "If this was the playoffs, if this was the playoff push we were making at the end of the season, I would be out there. I think at that point it makes sense to give us the rest and start fresh when we come back."
McHugh is scheduled to pitch the Astros' fourth game out of the All-Star break, which will be July 22 in Oakland. McHugh's 0-5 with a 4.18 ERA in his past five starts, but he still hasn't pitched poorly in that span. He's allowed only 21 hits in 28 innings and has struck out 33 batters. Opponents are hitting .208 against him in that span.
Still, McHugh views the second half as a chance to finish the season strong.
"You take this as a fresh start and just move on from here and try to remember some of the really good things I've done and work from there and put these last couple of starts behind me," he said.
Right knee OK, Springer back in starting lineup
HOUSTON -- George Springer returned to the lineup in center field Saturday after being scratched from Friday's game with discomfort in his right knee. Springer, of course, said he could have played Friday, but he understood it's better to be cautious.
"I could have played, but at this point, you've got to be smart," Springer said. "That's what happened."
Springer entered Saturday holding the franchise-rookie records with 19 homers and 50 RBIs prior to the All-Star break and was just two homers shy of Lance Berkman's Astros rookie record for an entire season (21 in 2000).
"He's feeling better," manager Bo Porter said. "He wanted to play, but at the same time, looking at the soreness and not wanting to take any chances, he was able to get treatment and came back today and it was much improved."
Springer, who's from New Britain, Conn., and went to the University of Connecticut, grew up as a Red Sox fan, so Saturday marked his first time playing against them.
"It's crazy just to be on the same field as them," Springer said. "I've always been a fan of them my whole life. It's awesome. As a kid being from that area, you're always thinking you're playing at Fenway Park, and I would pretend I was one of the Red Sox guys. I didn't really have one guy on that team I liked the most. I watched them all play since I was a kid."
Fowler feeling better, hopes to return Friday night
HOUSTON -- In a decision that came as no surprise, the Astros aren't going to rush center fielder Dexter Fowler back before the All-Star break. Fowler was eligible to be activated on Saturday after missing the previous 14 games with a right intercostal strain, but he's now targeting Friday's game in Chicago.
"I feel all right," Fowler said Saturday. "Obviously, I'm not ready to come off the DL. I think we're going to use the All-Star break to get back."
Fowler isn't surprised the injury has taken more than two weeks to heal.
"No, they told me in the beginning that this is the type of injury that you never know what can happen," Fowler said. "It's just how your body feels and depends on how long it takes."
The only thing Fowler can do at this point is rest, which he will get plenty of in the next week when the Astros take three full days off for the All-Star break. The team will work out Thursday at U.S. Cellular Field prior to starting its series against the White Sox.
"You look at the progress which he's been able to make and the fact we have another week, it should provide more time for him to get better," manager Bo Porter said.
Worth noting
