Korea out to rebound vs. upset-minded Australia
By Debby Wu / Special to MLB.com
TAICHUNG, Taiwan -- After pool favorite Korea struggled in every facet of their stunning loss against the Kingdom of the Netherlands in its 2013 World Baseball Classic opener, the '09 Classic runners-up will need to rebound against underdog Australia on Monday in a game that can be watched live on MLB Network and ESPN Deportes at 6:30 p.m. local time/5:30 a.m. ET.
Korea allowed 10 hits and made four errors in a 5-0 loss to Holland, and catcher Min-Ho Kang had to leave the game after being injured on a play at the plate.
Korean manager Joong-Il Ryu -- expected to start Seung-Jun Song on Monday -- apologized to his club's fans after the game.

"I have to say sorry to Korean fans, as we played an awful game," Ryu said. "This is one of the worst games we have ever played. Our pitchers were in terrible [situations], and that affected our defense indirectly, too."
With no current Minor League or Major League players on its roster, Korea is relying heavily on 30-year-old infielder Dae-Ho Lee and 36-year-old first baseman Seung-Yuop Lee. Both players contributed significantly to Korea winning the gold medal in the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
While Dae-Ho Lee went hitless in three at-bats against the Netherlands, Seung-Yuop Lee popped out in his one at-bat as a pinch-hitter Saturday. The Korean batters delivered only four total hits during the game.
Australia lost, 4-1, in Saturday's opener against Chinese Taipei. Detroit Tigers prospect right-hander Chris Oxspring started and was responsible for the loss, giving up five hits and three runs in 2 2/3 innings. Third baseman Stefan Welch clubbed a solo homer in seventh as a consolation prize.
Australia manager Jon Deeble was unfazed after the loss and said he remained confident of his team's chances in the tourney.
"We played a good game," Deeble said. "We saw good pitching. If we keep doing what we are doing … I've got a lot of confidence going into the next game. That has not changed."
Australia is the underdog in the pool, as it is the lowest-ranked team among the four. However, the club does have some players with previous Major League experience, including infielder Luke Hughes and lefty Ryan Rowland-Smith.
The Aussies have also shown the ability to pull off an upset, as they unexpectedly snatched the silver medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics under Deeble's guidance.
Australia was eliminated in the first round in the two previous Classic tournaments.

I pulled my transmission to lube the splines and now that I have it mated it back up I'm installing the clutch release cylinder that I removed to get the transmission out.
When I went to insert the cylinder but can't get it all the way in and I can't figure out why it is not going all the way in and I don't want to force it.
Any ideas what is going on?

Masterson looks to set example from Day 1
Tribe righty set to take the hill for second straight Opening Day
By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Justin Masterson was always one of manager Terry Francona's favorites. That is what made it so hard to call the young pitcher into the manager's office at Camden Yards on that summer day four years ago.
The Red Sox had traded Masterson to the Indians, and Francona dreaded delivering the news.
"Things were happening fast that day," Francona said. "We had all kinds of things going on, and that was a hard one. It was emotional."
W: Masterson L: Dickey SV: Perez
During their days together in Boston, the manager saw a pitcher who displayed maturity beyond his years. Francona saw a leader in the making and a player willing to embrace whatever role the ballclub felt made the team better. Masterson had future workhorse written all over him, but he pitched out of the bullpen when the Red Sox had no room in the rotation.
That was then.
Since their brief conversation in Baltimore on July 31, 2009, and the handshake that sealed Masterson's time with Boston, the pitcher has developed into the leader of Cleveland's staff. On Tuesday, he will toe the rubber at Rogers Centre as the Indians' Opening Day starter, facing the Blue Jays to kick off a campaign for the second consecutive season.
In the visiting dugout, Francona will look on during his first regular-season game as manager of the Indians.
Being reunited with Francona has been special for Masterson.
"It's been great," Masterson said. "All the guys have enjoyed it. It's been good to see him. He brings renewed energy having been away from the game for a year, and a little bit of a bad taste in his mouth at the end in Boston. I think he's excited and I think that excitement has worn off on us. We're all excited to get going."
The hiring of Francona -- a two-time World Series champion in Boston -- in October served as the first domino in an aggressive offseason for the Indians. Cleveland signed free agents Nick Swisher, Michael Bourn, Mark Reynolds and Brett Myers, and added the likes of Mike Aviles, Drew Stubbs and Trevor Bauer in trades. The wave of moves has the club hopeful that it can rebound swiftly from last summer's 94-loss disaster.
Most of the winter maneuvering, however, reorganized the Tribe's lineup.
There are still plenty of questions surrounding a starting rotation that labored throughout last season. Masterson is among the pitchers looking to turn around the misfortunes of last year, and the big sinkerballer has displayed his signature calm and confidence throughout this spring. He is eager to embrace the challenge of once again leading the staff.
The 28-year-old Masterson craves that kind of responsibility.
Pitching on Opening Day is where that begins.
Cleveland Indians
|Projected Opening Day lineup
|Michael Bourn
|Asdrubal Cabreral
|Jason Kipnis
|Nick Swisher
|Michael Brantley
|Carlos Santana
|Mark Reynolds
|Lonnie Chisenhall
|Drew Stubbs
|Projected rotation
|Justin Masterson
|Ubaldo Jimenez
|Brett Myers
|Scott McAllister
|Scott Kazmir
"With the new-look Tribe that we have, it's a way to really, truly lead this staff from Day 1," Masterson said. "I would hope it's within everybody, that desire to be the best and just set the example -- impacting lives in some way, shape or form. It doesn't necessarily mean you're always going out and performing the best, but I figure that everyone's goal is to set that example of hard work, dedication and good character.
"Whether it's official or not, that's what I'm going to do. I feel like that's a great way to try and lead."
Last season, when Masterson was coming off an atypical offseason following a left shoulder operation, the right-hander went 11-15 with a 4.93 ERA in 34 starts for Cleveland. He was burned by big innings, allowing 30 percent of his runs (37 of 122) in just three percent of his innings pitched (6 2/3 of 206 1/3). Masterson tied a dubious club record with five starts in which he gave up eight or more runs.
Overall, Cleveland's rotation ended with 76 losses (highest total for the team since 1991), 913 2/3 innings (fewest since 2001) and a 5.25 ERA (fourth highest single-season mark in club history).
Masterson will be key in turning things around.
"I've probably said it a million times," Francona said. "I'm betting on the person."
After the Red Sox traded a 24-year-old Masterson, along with lefty Nick Hagadone (in Cleveland's current bullpen) and Minor Leaguer Bryan Price, to land catcher Victor Martinez in '09, the sinkerballer transitioned back to a starting role.
Leaving Boston, and Francona, was hard at first for the pitcher, though.
"That was a tough one," Masterson said. "Tito had been a big part of helping me get and stay in the big leagues. He wanted me when all the starter roles were filled. He wanted me in the bullpen. He said, 'I'd love to have you pitch. I love seeing you pitch.' So I owe him a lot, as far as where I am today, because of that opportunity."
Masterson showed steady improvement after joining the Tribe, too.
Down the stretch in 2009, Masterson went 1-7 with a 4.55 ERA in 11 outings. He then went 6-13 with a 4.70 ERA in 34 starts in 2010, leading into his breakout campaign in '11. That season, Masterson went 12-10 with a 3.21 ERA over 34 appearances, appearing to emerge as one of the American League's top young starters.
This spring, Masterson has worked to recover what worked so well two seasons ago.
"I wanted to come in and be easy," he said. "It's about not trying to overthrow, making sure we get through our pitches, and mixing in some changeups. We were able to do that really good early on, and each game I thought I've gotten better every time, whether or not sometimes the results didn't show it. I was getting lots of ground balls and things later on in the camp. That's what you want to see."
What Francona has seen is the type of pitcher and person he always believed Masterson would become for a team.
"He was actually that way at a young age," Francona said. "He was so mature at a young age. We gave him so much responsibility when he first came to the big leagues, because we trusted him so much. He's older now, but I thought he was kind of wise beyond his years before that."
And when Francona accepted the job in Cleveland?
"That was one of my first phone calls," he said with a smile. "He's such a good kid."

Special deals 'save £750 a year'
Britons save nearly £750 a year by taking advantage of rewards points, vouchers and special offers, according to research.
People living in Scotland are the savviest when it comes to taking advantage of special deals, saving £1,019 per year typically, compared with the average across the country of £742, according to a survey for American Express.
Those living in the North West said they save the least through these methods, at £606 on average, according to the research among 2,000 people carried out by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr).
Londoners have typically recouped £708 over the last year through rewards and offers while people living in Wales have made around £714 worth of savings.
Despite signs that the pressure on households' budgets is starting to ease slightly as the economy improves, the research also suggests people now think rewards are an essential part of family budgeting.
Only one in 33 (3%) of people surveyed thought rewards will become less important over the next five years.
Here is the typical saving people said they had made over the last year by using rewards and offers by region, according to American Express:
1. Scotland, £1,019
2. South West, £848
3. South East, £821
4. North East, £780
=5. Wales, £714

7. London, £708
8. East Anglia, £684

Rockies win challenge on steal of third
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
DENVER -- The Rockies escaped a tight situation in the top of the fifth inning against the Royals on Tuesday.
Umpires quickly overturned third-base umpire Laz Diaz's safe call when Nori Aoki attempted to steal third with two out. Had Aoki been awarded the base, with Omar Infante running behind him, the Royals would have had runners at second and third with two out in a 1-1 game against Rockies left-hander Tyler Matzek
Instead, catcher Michael McKenry's throw and third baseman Nolan Arenado's sweep tag were ruled to have been in time, thanks to manager Walt Weiss' replay challenge.
For McKenry, who uses a low stance and concentrates more on blocking balls in the dirt than the running game, it was his fifth successful throw in 33 attempts this season (15.2 percent). Weiss has had 14 successes in 32 challenges this season.
Arenado gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead by knocking Royals starter James Shields' first pitch to him with one out in the bottom of the fifth for his 13th home run of the season.

As if in response to their elementary school days of chanting "Under The Sea" in child-size shell bikini, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Katy Perry[/lastfm] is effectively doing a [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lady Gaga[/lastfm].
Yesterday, Gaga said she that her mermaid alter-ego, Yuyi, was in incubation and might come out in a video soon. Today, we learn that Katy Perry tweeted a picture of herself dressed as a mermaid and "planking."
Where is Ursula to put a stop to this fishy fiasco?
Click on the above tweet to see a picture of Katy Perry donning full mermaid garb exercising her abs with some hardcore planking.
While we aren't sure what the reason was for Perry's mythological attire and backdrop, we do know that Gaga has tried to morph into a mermaid for a long time. Her main Babe In Charge, Laurieann Gibson, had this slightly passive-aggressive retort to Perry's Twitter picture:
The moral of this decidedly fishy tale is that mermaids are probably going to be the next big thing in pop culture, so if you've been looking for a movie script idea, you better get on it before someone faster creates the next big Twilight-esque series.
- Does the mermaid trend swim with you or do you like it better with two feet on the ground? Let us know in the comments!

In Lance Armstrong doping case, Berkshires support still there
As 11-year old Garrett Payer tended to his intern-like duties at Berkshire Bike and Board in Great Barrington, a Livestrong bracelet was wrapped around his wrist. The bracelets are sold by the Lance Armstrong Foundation to raise cancer awareness.
And though evidence from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says Armstrong and his teams participated in "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program," Payer will continue to wear the Livestrong bracelet just like he has ever since his friend gave it to him two years ago -- before Armstrong's accolades were wiped from sports history.
"I think what he did was dishonest, but it's still going to a really good cause," Payer said.
Armstrong, who still maintains that he has never doped, was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by the International Cycling Union Monday and lost endorsements by Nike and Anheuser-Busch. He has stepped down as chairman of the foundation.
And yet, support for the iconic cyclist lives on in the Berkshires, even if it's met with a twinge of disappointment.
A poll on the Berkshire Eagle Facebook page, gauging readers if they would still wear their Livestrong bracelet in response to the controversy, showed an overwhelming support for the cause, as opposed to the four people who said they would no longer wear their bracelets.
One man jogging down North Street in Pittsfield on Tuesday evening had yellow, red and green Livestrong bracelets on his wrist. Efforts to catch up with him were unsuccessful.
Jon Kane met Armstrong about eight years ago at a race in New York City, he said. A lifelong road biker, Kane waited for Armstrong after his race. He may not tout a Livestrong bracelet, but his respect for Armstrong and his cause hasn't wavered much.
"He's still a great athlete either way," Kane said. "His accomplishments and the money he's raised plays a bigger role than if he doped."
Kane said that to strip Armstrong of his awards will be problematic, since the next few people down the line were also found guilty of doping.
An employee at Dick's Sporting Goods in Pittsfield said that at least two people in the past week have refused to buy the Livestrong-brand treadmills and opted for another brand of the workout equipment because of Arm strong's dishonesty.
A statement from the American Cancer Society says it has "witnessed Livestrong's powerful commitment to improving the quality of life of those with cancer, and fighting cancer globally," and that the organization's "contribution is sorely needed" in reducing suffering and death from cancer.
Payer said that, as a young biker himself, he'll continue to somewhat look up to Arm strong, but in a slightly different way."
"You could still do it, but you don't want to cheat like him," he said.

Was reading about the Stars signing Brian Sutherby earlier today and I've got to say, I like it. Sutherby adds a nice grit element to this team, yet he's shown a few times that he can play with the skill group, too. He's been asked to do quite a bit in the Stars' injury trouble, but he's been up to it. So good for the Stars for sewing him up for a few more seasons.

Student Projects for Engineering Experience & Design
Human Powered Vehicle Challenge ASME:
Here's the challenge:
Design and build a vehicle — powered by a single rider — with a top speed of more than 50 mph
As you work toward meeting this challenge, you will:
-Learn how to amplify human strength and reduce friction
-Go faster — on your own power — than you ever thought possible
-Develop the skills necessary to work with and lead your fellow student engineers
-Have the opportunity to help millions of people around the world do more with simple and affordable transportation technologies
Human power is often the only type of transport available in many parts of the world, and — if well designed — can be an increasingly viable form of sustainable transportation.
ASME's international Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) lets students demonstrate the application of sound engineering-design principles in the development of sustainable and practical transportation alternatives. In the HPVC, students work in teams to design and build efficient, highly engineered vehicles for everyday use — from commuting to work, to carrying goods to market.
After you build it, you race it in ASME competitions throughout the region. And if it's fast, light and strong enough, you'll go up against some of the best designs — and the best teams — in the world.

Laquandre Kinsler bench-pressed 490 pounds and totaled 765 pounds, as he just missed setting the all-time state heavyweight bench press record.
KISSIMMEE — Coming into Friday's FHSAA Class 2A Boys State Weightlifting Meet, a total of 40 lifters from the county had won a state championship since the event started in 1975.
However, no one was quite as dominant in claiming a state crown as Vanguard senior Laquandre Kinsler was in winning the heavyweight championship on Friday afternoon at the Kissimmee Civic Center.
"It feels great to win, and I have been wanting to get here for three years," Kinsler said.
Kinsler bench-pressed 490 pounds and totaled 765 pounds, as he just missed setting the all-time state heavyweight bench press record, but came up short on an attempt of 505.
On his first bench attempt, Kinsler hit 470 pounds and then nailed 490, before missing at 505, which would have bested the all-time best heavyweight mark of 500 set by Harmony's Nick Sardoni in 2008, but would have been five pounds off the all-class record held by Panama City Arnold's Gar Rosario.
"It was almost overwhelming," Kinsler said. "I almost had it. After I tried it, I had a lot of people come up to me and congratulate me for trying it."
Kinsler benched 505 in a dual meet earlier this season against Gainesville, but the stakes were much higher this time around.
"He had about 20 cameras in his face and it all came down to technique," Vanguard coach Edwin Farmer said. "He gave a great effort and had it about three-fourths of the way up.
"He gave it a great try. I think he really had a lot to think about when he tried as far as what the judges were looking for."
Kinsler echoed his coach's feelings.
"It was much more overwhelming this time trying the 505, and I was focused more on not messing up than lifting the weight," he said. "The judges were real strict, especially on keeping your feet flat and your butt on the bench. It was a lot to think about."
Despite the miss, he was way ahead of the rest of the field and wound up winning by 25 pounds over Port Orange Spruce Creek's Zack Johnson and took his mark among the state's top lifters in meet history and made quite a few fans in the process.
"A lot of people had heard of me, but this was the first time they got the chance to see me in person," Kinsler said. "When I put the (470) down for my first lift, they wanted to see if I was really going to be able to do it."
Johnson made up some distance with a 335-pound clean-and-jerk, but his 740-pound total was not enough to unseat Kinsler.
Kinsler became the 14th lifter from VHS to claim a state weightlifting title and allowed the Knights to move past North Marion for the most individual titles in county history.
The win by Kinsler enabled the Knights to claim their first state title since Lamont Daymon won at 219 pounds in 2011.
Led by Kinsler, Vanguard finished fourth in the state with 10 points.
"We've always worked hard in the weight room," Kinsler said.
Spruce Creek ran away with the team title with 28 points, while St. Cloud and Longwood Lyman finished just ahead of the Knights with 12 points.
"The kids did an outstanding job," Farmer said.
The county nearly had a second state title, but West Port's Will Sims finished in second at 199 pounds, just 10 pounds behind Sebring's Mark Anthony Miranda, who won the championship with a 690-pound total.
Sims had the best clean-and-jerk in the weight class at 320 pounds, but Miranda's 375-pound bench press, 20 pounds better than the WPHS lifter, made the difference.
By virtue of his runner-up spot, Sims became just the second West Port lifter to place since the school became eligible for the state series in boys weightlifting in 2002.
Another local lifter, Vanguard's Kyle Sandner, also placed at 199.
Sandner, who just missed placing as a junior, totaled 650 pounds and finished fifth, while his teammate Jarrad Mason had a 640-pound total and was 10 pounds off placing.
In getting to 650, Sandner was boosted by a 350-pound bench.
Meanwhile, Robert Taylor joined Kinsler and Sandner in scoring points for the Knights, as he was sixth in the heavyweight class.
Taylor bench-pressed 435 pounds, as he ended with a 695-pound total.
"We had three guys end up with medals, and they were very excited about it," Farmer said. "They did a great job and worked hard to get where they are at.
"They've been dedicated and it paid off."
Marcus Davis (610-pound total at 219) joined Mason as VHS lifters to just miss out on placing among the top six finishers in their respective weight classes.

Times Correspondent
In many ways, The Book of Mormon fits the formula of an old-fashioned buddy movie — think Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in, say, Road to Zanzibar — as it recounts the story of two mismatched 19-year-old Mormon missionaries sent from Utah to save some souls in Uganda.
Elder Price and Elder Cunningham are indeed an odd couple. Price is an upright alpha type, while Cunningham is a schlub who hasn't even read the Mormons' sacred text. In seeking to convert the Ugandans, Cunningham invents his own theology, drawn from Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings and other pop culture. It's all filtered through the irreverent sensibilities of the musical's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, whose comic talents were honed on their long-running animated TV show, South Park, along with Robert Lopez, who wrote music and lyrics for Avenue Q.
Like their characters, the actors playing Price and Cunningham — Mark Evans and Christopher John O'Neill, respectively — are an unlikely pair to be topping the bill in the national tour of The Book of Mormon, the 2011 Tony Award winner for best musical that opens Tuesday at the Straz Center. They were interviewed by phone in October when the tour was in New Orleans.
Evans, 28, is from Wales, and getting cast in the show brought him to the United States for the first time. Even though his credits include high-profile roles such as Fiyero in the production of Wicked in London's West End, he felt some pressure preparing to play Price, the paragon of a homegrown American religion. "I'm the first British guy to play this all-American role in this all-American show in America," he said.
O'Neill, 31, has an even more improbable story. He is making his professional theater debut after spending a dozen years as part of a two-man comedy act, The Chris and Paul Show. Before landing his role as the hapless Cunningham, the last time he was in a play was as a teenager in Stamford, Conn. "I did theater in high school. That was mainly to get girls," he said.
The audition process for O'Neill was grueling. "The biggest challenge was the singing because I hadn't had any vocal training," he said. "They set me up with a voice coach, and I went through a month-long camp with the directors and the musical director. It was surreal. I kept thinking, 'What am I doing here?' It was crazy. I just went in and had fun."
Evans and O'Neill joined The Book of Mormon six months into the tour last December. Both are South Park fans and loved working with Parker and Stone. "They're such chilled-out guys," Evans said. "They're like two teenagers just having a laugh together. They haven't let their success get to them. Their priority is to tell the story and make people laugh."
O'Neill is following in the footsteps of Josh Gad, who originated the role of Cunningham on Broadway. "That was the most daunting thing, because Josh Gad was so great," O'Neill said. "He's such a powerhouse of energy. Well, that's kind of not me. The great thing about this whole process is how much creative freedom I had with the character. They've been very open to a different interpretation of Elder Cunningham. So I try to play him more ADHD, lovable but kind of spastic and all over the place. There are different ways to play him, and I'm definitely different than Josh Gad."
Parker, Stone and Lopez don't pull any punches in their musical, which has plenty of the adolescent hard-core humor that South Park revels in. In Hasa Diga Eebowai, an Act 1 number ripped off from The Lion King, the Ugandans sing and dance to lyrics that repeat again and again "F--- You, God!" (This is actually pretty mild compared with a gross-out pageant later that includes Elder Cunningham's embellishments to Mormon holy writ.)
"I'd be lying if I said we didn't have a walkout or two," Evans said. "It's not that it's offensive, it's more that it's shocking, like 'Oh, my goodness, I can't believe they went there.' Most people find it shocking because they feel like they shouldn't be laughing at it, even though they find it highly amusing. War, poverty, famine, AIDS, all these horrendous things. That's what they're singing about, in a very jovial, Disney way."
Sure, O'Neill added, Hasa Diga Eebowai is wildly profane, but that finally contributes to a rather sweet overall portrayal of the Mormons in Africa. "You need that song to get to where the story ends up," he said. "Once you get past the F-yous, and keep an open mind, the show has a lot of heart."

The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Herrewarde surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Robert and Thomas Harwood who settled in Virginia in 1635; followed later by George Harwood in 1643.

Sevier County is named after Revolutionary War General Gov. John Sevier (1745-1815).[2]
North Carolina first organized the land that would eventually become Sevier County as part of Washington District in 1776, then as part of Washington County in 1777, and then as part of Greene County in 1783.
In August 1784 delegates of three western North Carolina counties, Washington, Sullivan, and Greene (all now in Tennessee), declared their Independence from North Carolina because of perceived neglect, and misuse by North Carolina's legislature. By May 1785 they had petitioned to be admitted to the United States as the new State of Franklin. The Franklin statehood request was denied.[3] In March 1786 the Franklin legislature created several new counties including Sevier (all in present-day Tennessee).[4] By 1789 Franklin's hopes of statehood had faded.
However, in 1789 North Carolina ratified the Constitution, was admitted the union, and ceded her westermost counties to the United States. The United States used them to form the Southwest Territory. The new counties created by the Franklin government were not recognized by North Carolina, the Southwest Territory, or by Tennessee. When they were reconstituted, no mention was made of their Franklin predecessor county governments. The Southwest Territory reconstituted Sevier County in 1794 from part of Jefferson County.[5]
In 1796 the land of all these counties became part of the new State of Tennessee.

AIDS is an illness that weakens the body's immune system. The immune system of a person with AIDS is not able to fight off certain infections and cancers.
AIDS is caused by the HIV, which destroys important immune system cells. HIV is spread through contact with HIV-infected blood or other body fluids, including semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. Unprotected sex is the most common mode of transmission. Sharing needles for injecting drugs is another common way the virus is transferred.

She claims 4th straight county victory in bee
For the fourth year in a row a homeschooled student won the St. Johns County Spelling Bee, but her fellow spellers made her work for her victory on Wednesday in the auditorium of the school district offices at 40 Orange St.
See a slideshow from the event
It took 28 rounds before Grace Remmer could claim top honors. From round 18 on, Remmer and fifth-grader Nikitha Raju of Wards Creek Elementary School went at it letter by letter.
Halfway through spelling "workaholic" during the 28th round, Raju, 9, said "Oops" as she realized she'd made a mistake. (Contestants can't change any of their spelling once it's vocalized.)
Remmer then had to spell "recuperate" in order to win. She could and did.
The 13-year-old now advances to the 69th annual Times-Union Regional Spelling Bee in Jacksonville on Feb. 23. For the last three years, she's won at that level and gone on to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington.
"I read a lot, and I study very hard," Remmer said of what contributes to her success.
This is Remmer's last year to compete in the bee that is only open to elementary and middle school students. She is the daughter of Jennifer Remmer and Raymond Remmer. If for some reason Remmer can't compete, Raju would represent the county.
During the final rounds, the two girls exchanged high fives. Emcee Laurie Hays, program
specialist in elementary language arts/reading for the district, said Remmer probably got that from participating in the national event where "contestants in final rounds are very supportive of one another."
The count goes on
Watching a spelling bee is sort of like that Agatha Christie murder mystery "And Then There Were None," where, one by one, the characters in the novel are eliminated. In the bee, you start out with a stage full of children and then, one by one, they misspell a word and step down into the audience, no longer part of the action.
The spelling bee starts at the classroom level with top winners going on to represent their schools. This year's spell fest brought in 31 students from public schools, Catholic schools, charter schools and home schools.
During the first round, five students went down. Eight students went down in the second round and five more in the third. Two challenges were issued over dismissals, and the judging board agreed to let one student back on stage.
By the end of the fourth round, the bee was down to 14, and students played a bit of musical chairs, moving up to the front two rows on the stage. A couple of other challenges were heard and ruled on.
When Ajay Sarma of Fruit Cove Middle School missed "magnanimous" in round 15, it left only three girls competing — Rachel Friederich of San Juan Del Rio Catholic School, Raju and Remmer. In round 17, Friederich lost out on "demotic," leaving Remmer and Raju the only ones on stage.
Pronouncer Lyla Springfield, retired district grants coordinator, went through more than 240 words for the contestants.
"My tongue feels this big," she laughed afterward, spreading her hands. She wasn't planning on any more pronouncing for the rest of the day.
The judges were Adrienne Paone, a program specialist in secondary language arts; Sandy Waldeis, ofCatholic Charities; and Jim Welu, retired district director for student services.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Something Borrowed comes a novel that shows how someone with a "perfect life" can lose it all—and then find everything.
Darcy Rhone thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma.But Darcy's neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel, the plain-Jane "good girl," steals her fiancé, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life…with a baby on the way.
Darcy tries to recover, fleeing to her childhood friend living in London and resorting to her tried-and-true methods for getting what she wants. But as she attempts to recreate her glamorous life on a new continent, Darcy finds that her rules no longer apply. It is only then that Darcy can begin her journey toward self-awareness, forgiveness, and motherhood.
Something Blue is a novel about one woman's surprising discoveries about the true meaning of friendship, love, and happily-ever-after. It's a novel for anyone who has ever, even secretly, wondered if the last thing you want is really the one thing you need.
©2005 Emily Giffin (P)2005 Macmillan Audio
"Good follow up"
Loved the first novel and this as a sequel was good too. The only qualm I have is the mixed feelings about the timing of the love match and how believable it was. There were some ironic twists which on its own we're cute but in the scheme of the prequel, lost its punch. It was read well and the performance was on par with Darcy. If you liked Something Borrowed, this is a nice sequel to answer your 'what happens next' questions.
"I love it when a sequel outshines the original!"
As much as I love "Something Borrowed", "Something Blue" is hands down my favorite of the two. The writing here is just as good but Darcy as a narrator is more interesting than Rachel. And her observations are wittier and snarkier which makes it a lot more fun. The ending is definitely predictable but Darcy's journey to her happily ever after is hard fought and well deserved and I loved watching her get there.
I was a little concerned when I saw that the narrator had changed because I really enjoyed Jennifer Wiltsie's Darcy but Christine Marshall did a great job.
"amazing book, amazing narrator"
So I've read the book before, loved it, and decided to give the audible a try since its been years.
Since the others have all written about how great the book is already, I'll skip that part and just write about the narrator, and this book as an "audible", even though I do subscibe to that same opinion as well.
Christine Marshall really makes the book come alive. Pleasant to listen to, her voice has perfect intonation without being annoying, she really makes the characters come alive and relatable and real.
The "something borrowed" audible had (I think?) an older woman narrating which did not match the character at all, and Darcy's voice in that was shrill and annoying. In this, its just right.
Its a great listen.
"something blue by emily giffin"
I will admit that I wasn't "too thrilled" to read a story about a self-centerd "drama queen" who has lived a (so-called) charmed life - but I loved the other 2 novels I read by emily giffin - and I was "intrigued" by he whole Darcy character (even though I related much more to the Rachel character in "something borrowed"). But... as I started listening - I got caught up in the story so quickly - that I couldn't stop! The first half of the book was a bit "much"" (having to listen to Darcy's "wines "and "wants" ) but when she got to London - and started hanging with "Ethan" was worth the wait. As I continued to listen - I felt as though I knew these characters personally - as I laughed and cryed throughout the second half of the story. I really reccomend this book - especially for those who think that people "can't change" - bercause after reading/listening to this story - you will see that everyone has a "good side" and can "change" if they really want to.

"Better than expected"
If you are like me, you are thinking of this book because you loved "Something Borrowed" and want to see what happens to the characters. Know that this book delivers. You have to wade through more than half of it before you get to anything remotely good (the first have is a rehashing of the first book from Darcy's perspective), but the second half is more than worth it. You get to see Darcy slowly transform from a whiny, annoying, one-note character into one that you eventually like. You fall in love with Ethan. And you get to explore London! You also get a resolution to a lot of the storylines left unfinished from the first book. I was happy to see an ending for Dex and Rachel as well. If you enjoyed the first one, this one is worth it, just stick through the first half, trust me.
"Great book"
Something Blue was a very entertaining . I could easily seeing this being a movie. Darcy's self loving, self serving, selfish character, egotistical nature although not commendable is what made this book so interesting. The story line was great and believable.. I think we may have known a Darcy at one time or another.
"Somethng Blue"
It was hard to get through the first couple of chapters based on the arrogant ways and snotty character, but I ended up loving the book and listen to it often. You will like it, espically if you have read something borrowed. I highly suggest Baby Proof as well. You will hear about these characters again in there!
"Good chick lit"
The reviews are right. The lead is vapid and annoying. Just when I thought I couldn't stand it anymore, the story gets fantastic. Great twists.
"Very Whiny"
I found this very hard to listen to. The entire first five hours is extremely annoying. This character is very unlikable. I only kept listening because I couldn't believe that it wouldn't get better. my first regret as a purchase.
"Totally engaging!"
Emily Griffin is such a good author and she truly shows her understanding of differing personalities.
I got through the first half of the book with a great dislike for Darcy, being so superficial and self absorbed, but as the book goes on you cant help but route for her.
There were moments where I caught weird looks in public, as i realized i was laughing out loud. Thankfully, I was at home when the book evoked moments of tears. I couldn't put the book down, so to speak. and as much as i was uplifted by the ending, i didnt want it the end to come.
"This is Something Better!"
I purchased Something Borrowed and didn't like it so much but Something Blue is great!! As some of the others said, Darcy is kind of annoying but keep listening she gets better. By the end as you watch her change you are really pulling for her. Her relationship with Ethan develops so sweetly over time. Once you meet her mother you understand why she turned out to be so selfish. People can change and Darcy does. Great story, great character development and perfect ending. I will listen to this story again!!

President Obama's response to the mass murder in Newtown, Connecticut reeks of opportunism and hypocrisy. It was, is, a callous, coldblooded, heartless effort to take advantage of a horrific event for political gain.
Prior to the mass murder in Newtown Obama and the Democrats paid lip service to the issue of gun control in the U.S. and basically ignored it and stayed as far away from it as possible because there was no political advantage in taking it on and because taking it on could have hurt them substantially politically. Virtually as soon as the first shot was fired Obama and the Democrats tugged on the nation's heartstrings and began advocating for gun control as loudly and forcefully as they could. Not only was that callous, coldblooded and heartless, it was also transparent and despicable…taking advantage of childrens deaths for political purposes…it doesn't get much lower than that.
Especially since Obama's proposals and Executive Orders will do nothing to prevent mass murders like Newtown from taking place in the future, or to reduce gun violence in the country either.
The vast majority of gun owners in the United States are ordinary, responsible people who pose no threat to their neighbors or anyone else. Taking guns, yes even assault rifles like the one used in Newtown, out of their hands is pointless because the likelihood of them using their weapons against anyone except for self-defence is practically infinitesimal. Even though Obama and the Democrats have attempted to demonize and vilify gun owners and cast them all as crazed, right wing lunatics the reality is very different…the vast majority of gun owners in the U.S. pose no danger to anyone and taking guns out of their hands as a measure to reduce gun violence is simplistic, unrealistic and just doesn't jibe with the facts. The United States has a serious problem with gun violence alright but it isn't caused by ordinary, responsible gun owners in the country. They should be left alone. The use of handguns by criminals, especially young black males, and keeping guns out the hands of the mentally ill…those are the real issues, the real problems, and Obama's proposals do nothing to deal with them, nothing at all.
Obama's reaction was more than ill-conceived, meaningless and politically motivated. It was, is, also an abuse of power and a serious threat to Americans civil liberties and the rule of law in the United States. Putting proposals before Congress for debate, consideration and approval is one thing and clearly within a Presidents authority. Obama did that. Unilaterally enacting Executive Orders and in effect bypassing Congress to effectively create new legislation clearly is not. Obama did that too. He bypassed Congress, ignored his responsibility under the Constitution, flouted the rule of law and enacted 23 Executive Orders in response to Newtown…he used the tragedy to gather power unto himself. That really is an abuse of power and a serious threat to civil liberties and the rule of law. Obama wants to rule as a dictator instead of lead like a President and that is precisely what he has done by enacting the Executive Orders. Unless he is stopped it will happen time and time again and a dictator is exactly what Obama will become.
Last Saturday there were large rallies against Obama's behavior at state capitals in all 50 states in the union. Gun owners and other ordinary Americans of all political persuasions let Obama know in no uncertain terms that his proposed solutions aren't really solutions at all and that his dictatorial behavior is entirely unacceptable. The rallies were a real grass roots response and a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats and there will be many more of them unless they change their ways.
Thank goodness. Politicians are obviously not going to do anything to curb Obama's behavior and that leaves it to the people themselves. Obama is beyond doubt the worst President in American history and has brought the United States to the brink of rack and ruin. Unless the American people stop him he will drive the country over the edge. Large bi-partisan rallies in the state capitols of all 50 states on the same day are a very good start.
Obama recently authorized secret service protection for him and his family for life, which is a first in American history. You can bet that the agents will be protecting him and his family with guns and that they won't hesitate to use them if they think it is necessary. He also sends his children to a school bristling with armed guards who are there for one reason only…to protect the children and keep them from being killed or wounded by some mentally ill individual or a criminal or terrorist of some sort.
Which they will.
With guns.
Irony of ironies, Obama also wouldn't be able to possess guns himself because he wouldn't be able to pass any of his requisite background checks.
And Obama wants to take guns out of the hands of ordinary law-abiding Americans and make it more difficult for ordinary law-abiding Americans to acquire them and is willing to subvert the rule of law to achieve his ends.
Keep those rallies happening.

(AP)—Your boss wants you to eat your broccoli, hit the treadmill and pledge you'll never puff on a cigarette.
But a new study raises doubts that those workplace wellness programs companies are rushing to adopt actually do save money.
It's being called the most rigorous look yet inside the wellness trend.
Researchers tracked the program at BJC HealthCare, a major St. Louis hospital system, for two years.
Employee hospitalizations dropped dramatically, by 41 percent overall for six major conditions targeted by the hospital's wellness program. But increased outpatient costs erased those savings.
The study is in Monday's issue of the journal Health Affairs.
