Using relentless attack, Red Sox top Rays
BOSTON - The relentlessness was back for the Red Sox on Tuesday night, a welcome sight for the fans who braved the bitter cold at Fenway Park.

BOSTON - The relentlessness was back for the Red Sox on Tuesday night, a welcome sight for the fans who braved the bitter cold at Fenway Park.
Backed by the same grind-it-out plate approach that matched so much of their success last season, the Red Sox rolled to a 7-4 victory over the Rays.View Full Game Coverage
There were quality at-bats from top to bottom, backing a second straight strong outing from winning pitcher John Lackey.
"We're in a stretch here probably the last eight, 10 games where the bats have become more consistent," said manager John Farrell. "I think it's just guys getting to the point in the first month where they're gaining some comfort, gaining some confidence."
With just one game left in April, the Red Sox are 13-14 and getting healthy again.
Shane Victorino, activated from the disabled list last week, had a four-hit night and added a sacrifice fly.
"Obviously it's a great night, but having him back, that's what he can do for our lineup," said first baseman Mike Napoli.
As for Napoli, the slugger had only one hit, but he saw 33 pitches in five plate appearances and was instrumental as anyone in the victory.
"A lot of guys had grind-it-out at-bats," said center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. "Napoli was seeing a ton of pitches today."
Bradley hammered a pair of doubles, the latter of which brought home two runs in the five-run rally that swung the momentum for good in the sixth.
"I'm definitely gaining more confidence as each day goes on," said Bradley. "I'm getting comfortable and I'm learning pitchers and I'm working. I'm just trying to get better."
Will Middlebrooks, another everyday player who recently returned from the disabled list, was also in the middle of the action, scoring twice, drawing a walk and ripping an RBI double.
A.J. Pierzynski continued his recent surge with a two-hit night.
But it wasn't all about the offense. Lackey went eight innings for the second straight start, giving up six hits and two runs and striking out five.
"I'm trying to be aggressive. I'm trying to work fast," said Lackey. "I'm trying to get guys in the dugout. It wasn't a whole lot of fun out there on the field today. I tried to work quickly and get outs as quick as I could."
Pierzynski did his part, working in sync with Lackey again.
"Well, one thing about John, he's always aggressive. He makes teams beat him," Pierzynski said. "He's not going to walk guys. He's not going to mess around. When he's right, I've seen it for over 10 years now. He knows what he's doing and he can dominate teams when he gets it going."
Rays manager Joe Maddon has seen it many times before, dating back to 2002, when Lackey won Game 7 of the World Series for the Angels. Maddon was the bench coach for that team.
"He threw the ball well," Maddon said. "He's sharp right now. He's very sharp. He had a good fastball, he had a really good fastball. He broke out the other stuff the second time through."
Amid the chilly conditions, the ball wasn't carrying much for either team.
Victorino broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth with a sacrifice fly to center against starter Erik Bedard that was plenty deep enough to score Middlebrooks. Bradley had the big hit in the inning, a double to the gap in left-center that moved Middlebrooks (walk) to third.
The Rays bounced right back in the top of the sixth when Desmond Jennings jump-started a rally with a one-out double and moved to third on a single by Matt Joyce. That put Jennings in position to score on Evan Longoria's sacrifice fly to right-center.
It didn't stay tied for long. The Red Sox got what turned out to be the game-turning rally started in the bottom of the sixth when Napoli and Jonny Gomes led off with back-to-back walks against reliever Brandon Gomes. With Juan Carlos Oviedo pitching, Pierzynski ripped an RBI single up the middle to put Boston back in front.
Middlebrooks followed with an RBI double and Bradley unloaded for a two-run double to center, and Boston had a 5-1 lead before Victorino capped the rally with an RBI ground-rule double.
It was a satisfying win for the Red Sox, one in which they utilized a blueprint that worked like a charm last season.
"It's like we're all working together," said Napoli. "Get the starter out early and try to get to the bullpen."

Tagged: Terry Collins
6-10-11 PNC Park
The New York Mets are in town for a four game series. I would stay for the entire game, as my fiancee Amy had to work today.
The day got off to a good start as Kevin Correia tossed me ball #1 of the day shortly after the gates opened. Here he, second to the left. The group you see below from left to right is Chris Resop, Joel Hanrahan, Daniel McCutchen (obstructed), Kevin Correia, and Josh Harrison.
Hanrahan especially seems to dislike the regular ballhawks, for no other reason than he sees us get balls. I wish he'd be a little less rude about our hobby. It wasn't that long ago (2009) that he had a 7.71 ERA for the Nationals and was dubbed 'Gas-Can' Hanrahan for his ability to come into the game and douse the situation with gasoline for the other team to blow the game wide open.
Now he's a shut down closer. He just seems a bit arrogant / unfriendly, which I hope will change.
My second ball was a ground rule double that took a huge bounce, hit off of a railing separating the handicapped section from the lower bleachers, and settled at my feet, basically. Here's a straight on view of where I snagged it:
That was all I got during the Pirates batting practice, which ended around 5:14. When the Mets came out to hit, I was able to glove trick a ball in left field, despite manager Terry Collins closing in on it. It was a quick 10 second glove trick execution. Unfortunately, Collins stayed in the left field corner and gobbled up at least three other balls I could've glove tricked.
Ball #4 was thrown to me by Chris Capuano in left:
And at 5:30, when right field opened, I was able to get Jason Pridie to throw me one as well.
My sixth ball was glove tricked a bit later back in left field near the foul pole. I stood in foul territory to the right of the foul pole.
My seventh and final ball was a home run hit by Ronny Paulino. I was distracted by a potential ground rule double by the bullpen. The next ball was a home run that I caught a glimpse of as it was in mid flight. Since I got a late break on the ball, I wasn't able to get into position to make the catch, but I did catch it immediately as it hit a bleacher and deflected right to me here:
As for the game, I tried for two warm up balls, failed, and walked around to pass the time until the 7th inning, when I would leave to go get the car to park close by so Amy wouldn't have to walk far when she got off of work.
It was pretty crowded in every outfield section anyhow:
Here's the most interesting picture I took from this 8-1 Mets blow out win.
Anyway, here's today's baseballs, along with the T-shirt giveaway:
Sweet spots:
Notice that ball #4 (Capuano) is stamped off center,
As is ball #6 (glove tricked):
Somewhat rare.
Tomorrow brings a Saturday Sky-Blast sold out game. Fun.
Game: 7 balls (2 hit, 3 thrown, 2 device,)
Season: 199 balls (76 hit, 47 thrown, 51 device, 25 found)
Games: 33 games
Average: 6.03 balls per game
Career: 1,321 balls
Attendance: 24,653
Note: Last year, my 33rd game was on June 15, 2010.
My stats after that game were:
2010 through 33 games: 206 balls (110 hit, 53 thrown, 19 device, 24 found)
Average: 6.24 balls per game
If you hadn't noticed, I have snagged 34 less batted balls through the same amount of games. That's because BP at PNC Park has been pretty poor by and large this year. Statistics last year were buoyed by the likes of Lastings Milledge and Ronny Cedeno in the final group. My thrown balls are almost the same, glove tricks are way up, as the other glove-tricker at PNC Park isn't being as aggressive as he was last year. So, with crappy Pirates BPs everyday, all regulars at PNC are experiencing deflated stats. Nick Pelescak had 173 last year at this point, all of our 'hit' numbers are down.

On June 4, 2012, I wrote a blog entitled "Going Free as a Group–Does it Still Work?" I published the blog right before I banded together with seven other great authors to gain maximum exposure for our two free days (June 4th and 5th). The event was called #Reads4Free.
Quite honestly, I was a bit skeptical regarding what type of results we would get. After all, none of us had ever organized an event of that magnitude before. Right as the event was getting ready to start, I had resigned myself to the possibility that the countless hours we had poured into preparation would not yield the results we wanted. Results that were intimately tied to the excitement we all felt about the event.
What occurred June 4th and 5th was actually a bit startling. Let's start with some of the stats. Seven of the eight books involved hit the top 100 free books on Amazon. Doug Dorow's "The Ninth District" topped out at #5 overall. Rob Guthrie's "Black Beast" topped out at #9 overall. My second thriller, "Allegiance," reached #15. Elise Stokes' second YA adventure book, "Cassidy Jones and the Secret Formula," reached the top 35. The only book not to reach the top 100 still performed extremely well for its genre–anthologies–which generally do not climb as high as individual novels.
Gulp. Yeah. Over 75k books downloaded in the first #Reads4Free event. A first event where we undoubtedly had hiccups and mistakes. A first event where kinks will be ironed out for #Reads4Free redux.
Climbing the free charts is exciting and worthwhile in its own respect. It means you got exposure. People have your book in their reading device, and setting aside debates as to whether they will read it, the first step in doing so is owning it. However, we're in this profession for another reason, as well. To make some money. Especially as indie authors, we are juggling a job (or multiple jobs), families, marketing, promoting, networking, events, etc., so more than anyone else, we are relentless about the pursuit of our singular dream–making writing our full-time and only job.
So, it was important to track books after the free event, and how they performed once they went paid. It was painfully obvious that the heyday of KDPS had passed. With the numbers of downloads each of our books received, some of those books should have gotten into the top 50 paid books as well. In the US at least, Doug Dorow's book was the only one to reach that level. However, fear not (at least, not yet) because there was a positive impact on most of our books. Specifically, all of us had a nice bump in paid sales that we were able to maintain with other methods such as pricing and advertising.
Here are the things I took away from the event:
- Going free on your own and doing no pre-free preparation is absolutely off the table. Won't work, and in fact, could hurt your rankings.
- Going free as a group that works hard and works together is still viable.
- Going back to paid is a rough ride, but through pricing and particularly, with some well placed ads, you can mitigate that transition.
That's dem apples. If you're interested in being a part of a future event, email me at email@example.com.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has awarded $1.5 million to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for Performance-Based Seismic Design Methods and Tools for Reinforced Masonry Shear Wall Structures.
Centered at the school's La Jolla lab, the three-year study targets a) innovative methodologies and improved design requirements for seismic resistance of shear walls in reinforced masonry buildings; and, b) reliable analytical tools for assessing seismic performance and wall design methods' cost-effectiveness. Current design methods and code requirements for shear walls in reinforced masonry buildings are occasionally impractical, especially for commonly encountered low-rise buildings that have walls with many openings, researchers contend. Moreover, some of the prescriptive requirements for masonry shear walls have not been fully substantiated with experimental research, they add, potentially resulting in misplaced ductility provisions.
Experimental data on the nonlinear behavior of reinforced masonry shear walls is very limited, and it does not cover the range of possible design parameter values. Helping to remedy that deficiency, a UCSD staffer will conclude the project's three-year term with a series of large-scale shake tests at San Diego's NEES/Englekirk Structural Engineering Research Center. Project contact is Rex Graham, [email protected].

SOUTHINGTON, CT -- Two teens used YMCA fund-raising as a ruse in a scam and could face fraud charges if caught, according to WFSB 3, a television station in Hartford, CT.
A Southington, CT, resident fell victim to the scam and talked to the television station to warn her neighbors. Two teens showed up at her door selling magazines to support their soccer team. The woman bought a magazine and made a donation, the station reported.
YMCA-Southington spokesman John Myers told the television station that it was a scam and that the Y is worried about how the scam will impact their legitimate fund-raising.
"We don't even have a team that plays soccer," Myers says. "Our group and other groups in town work really hard to raise money, so this just hurts and makes people say, 'I'm not so sure about giving to the Y right now.'"The YMCA received reports that the teens hit every single house in several Southington neighborhoods over a span of several days, and police said three people have filed complaints.

ROCHESTER— Todd Radict believes punk is anything but dead. In fact, he claims a new wave of punk is sweeping the area, and he has the right shop to accommodate the trend.
"There's Booze & Glory, EVIL CONDUCT, from Holland, and Discharger," Radict said. "There's a brand new wave of punk going on. I get the new releases and I constantly get texts from kids asking, 'Do you have this? Do you have this?' It constantly flies out."
Radict, a Somersworth native and singer in punk bands for more than 20 years, now with the Portsmouth-based group The Uprisers, said as a teenager in the 1980s he had to drive to Boston to keep up with the punk genre. He would spend all day in the city scouting out the best new records and the latest clothing styles.
Since moving back to the area, he has opened up Skele-Tone, which combines both records and clothing at two retail locations. Skele-Tone is located in Portsmouth on Congress Street, which opened in February 2011, and the new Rochester location on North Main Street opened last month.
The store boasts a wide ranging collection of music with approximately 3,000 $1 records in every genre, "except classical," Radict says, as well as the largest collection of cassettes in the area. In all, he explained, it is a true punk haven with "psychobilly" and rock n' roll influences.
"I have the records for the guys and the clothing for the girls," he said, with a laugh.
Some of the punk outfits for ladies touch on the 1950s pin-up girl revival style, along with other clothing that was most often spotted on Hot Topic's racks years ago. Today, Radict thinks he may be the last one in the area providing clothing of the punk style for young people. A few locals have items on consignment at the shop, too and several local teens help out by volunteering at the store.
Josh Bunker, a Portsmouth native, said he was thrilled when he returned from a tour in Iraq with the U.S. Army to find Radict had opened up a shop in the Port City. Bunker said he remembered the 1990s when "everybody" dressed in full-regalia punk outfits. Now, he volunteers as an employee at the Rochester location to help the local shop get its footing in the area.
"I remember being a little kid and thinking those are the kids I want to be like," Bunker said. "They had these giant mohawks and big spikes but it's starting to trickle back in since he opened up the shop."
Radict said he hopes to provide an outlet where young people feel they can find everything they need to dress individualistically. He said he hopes to expand even more in the future.
"(I hope) to get kids more into dressing up and looking rock n' roll like when we were kids. We wanted to look like our heroes," he said. "Now the heroes just where T-shirts and plaid shirts. It's cool to see the kids dress up and look like something individual."
Skele-Tone is located at 50 L North Main Street in Rochester and holds stores hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with later hours, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Asian Snack Attack is our ongoing series where we weed out the good from the bad in the wild and wooly world of newfangled Asian snacks.
Asian Snack: Haw Flakes
Manufacturer: Kaxing Trading
Country of Origin: Product of China
Pre-Consumption Expectations: Chances are, like me you have an extensive history with Haw Flakes from childhood (pretending they were communion wafers, which perhaps is a common experience among other Catholic children). My expectations are loaded, to say the least, though it's been probably a decade or so since I've eaten these.
Texture: Thin, tactile discs. Dry but slightly chewy (not brittle).
Taste: Haw Flakes stand alone. First: it's impossible to eat these iconic lookers without wondering what a "haw" is. Wikipedia tells us that they are made from the fruit of a "Chinese hawthorn" which another Wiki page tells us is a berry-like fruit that is often used as a digestive aid. This reaffirms my belief that the Haw Flakes are medicinal in nature.
But as a snack? Slightly tart, sweet, and tasting of pounded raisin or prune. Slightly off-putting at first, but then highly addictive. You have been warned. (See also the Haw Flakes Facebook page).
Quotes from the Snack Panel: "This is food?"
Stars: 5 out of 5, for sheer uniqueness

text: A fast paced electronic synth infused repeating motif drives this piece of high tech music whilst pounding drums energise the backdrop. Various effects and atmospheres help create interest along the way. A simple guitar also sketches out a melody throughout. This piece was influenced by natural history and technology programmes of the late 70's and early 80's. I imagined scenes of underwater exploration and discovery when I wrote it. Images full of exotic, tropical fish and life.

The Maryland-based band seamlessly wove its vocals with a steel guitar, acoustic guitar, upright bass, mandolin and banjo during a more than 30-minute set with its tight, melodic harmonies where each band member played an instrument.
Although the crowd was more laid-back, it was clear that they were there for the music because they had their smartphones out filming the performance.

DOVER — School will be in session at Dover High School today following a power outage that sent students home at 1 p.m. Wednesday due to a blown fuse in a transformer at the school.
According to School Principal Christine Boston, the school was running on about half its power for an hour and a half when the decision was made to have buses arrive early to dismiss students to allow for Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) workers to troubleshoot and address the problem.
In order to do so, power throughout the entire school had to be shut down, which included any lights in areas such as bathrooms as well as emergency lighting.
Boston said all the students were fed lunch and then sent home and parents were notified of the early dismissal.
Since it was unclear as to how long the process would take for PSNH to restore power, she said it was prudent to send the students home.
The outage was isolated to just the high school; other schools in the district were not affected.
"With 1,500 kids we don't like to take any chances," she said, adding that students and staff were great at keeping the day running smoothly and working together.
"Everything was really organized," she said.
As of about 2:15 p.m., full power had been restored to the school.
"There will be school tomorrow," Boston said.

Honda, Acura Racers Claim Titles at SCCA Runoffs
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2012) – Honda and Acura racers won four Sports Car Club of America national titles and claimed a 1-2 finish in the inaugural B-Spec category, run as a exhibition class, in last weekend's SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America.
More than three dozen Honda and Acura racers traveled to the classic Road America road course in Wisconsin for this year's 49th annual Runoffs, September 17-23, taking part in 13 of the 30 competition classes.
Five drivers used the Honda L15A7 engine in Formula F at this year's Runoffs, a record for the manufacturer in this open-wheel, training-ground category. Tim Kautz made history on Friday as the first Honda-powered Formula F National Champion, after a race-long battle with defending class champion Lewis Cooper.
"I was hoping the two of us could [break away from the pack] and make it a two-car fight, and that's what happened," Kautz said. "On the last lap, it came down to whoever got the better run out of the last corner and, fortunately, we were able to pull it off. It was a great race. Thanks to Honda. They gave us a great engine. You just put it in and go. That reliability allowed me to focus my efforts on improving the chassis and my racecraft."
Thursday's opening event,resulted in a clean sweep for Honda and Acura drivers in the combined race for Showroom Stock B, Showroom Stock C and the new B-Spec class. Luke Wilwert started from the pole and went on to win SSB in his Honda Civic Si, while Michael Crawford piloted his Acura Integra from third on the starting grid to the SSC national title.
"I think I was able to get through traffic a little bit better than [the competition]. Dealing with traffic is part of the art, and I think I just got lucky," Wilwert said. "This win means a lot. I feel truly blessed, in my second try, to win a National Championship. I didn't expect it."
Crawford also won an exciting event, avoiding last-lap contact taking place just in front of him to claim his SSC victory. "I saw [Charlie James and Brian Husting] get a little aggressive," Crawford recounted. "I'm thinking 'let's just see what happens' and they both went wide at the 'kink.' I was able to get by at that point, and just kept going!"
In the new, non-championship B-Spec category, Sage Marie came out of top of a wild three-car fight in his Honda Fit, which also earned him the Sunoco "Hard Charger" award for his efforts. Marie, fellow Honda driver Joel Lipperini, and Shawn Young in a Mazda2 ran within tenths of a second of one another throughout the 13-lap contest, frequently running three abreast on the long Road America straightaways, before Marie eked out a narrow victory over Lipperini.
The fourth Honda championship of the weekend came in H Production, where Michael Moser won his first Runoffs title, with defending class champion Greg Gauper making it a 1-3 finish for Honda. Moser and Gauper were part of a four-car train that broke away from the field in the early laps, before Moser edged away to his first national championship.
"Mike Origer passed me, and I figured I'd let him lead for a bit, but then I got a really good run out of Turn Three and into Five," Moser said. "I out-braked him, and went to the inside and was able to get ahead. He was still in my mirror for a couple of laps, but once I got a little distance, I settled down a bit and ran my race. It all turned out good."
Honda Performance Development [HPD], through the Honda Racing Line, offered contingency awards of up to $2,500, along with additional support to help offset travel costs for the racers. HPD also hosted catered, trackside hospitality exclusively for Honda/Acura competitors and their team members, providing a buffet lunches September 18-22 and a television monitor showing a live feed of on-track activities.
Launched in July 2009, the Honda Racing Line is a program targeted at licensed participants in sanctioned amateur and entry-level professional racing. The Honda Racing Line was formed to provide its members with a direct connection to Honda Performance Development and its unparalleled record of success at the highest levels of motorsport. Competitors may register for the Honda Racing Line through HondaRacingLine.com.
Honda Performance Development (HPD) is the Honda racing company within North America. Located in Santa Clarita, Calif., HPD is the technical operations center for high-performance Honda racing cars and engines.
As one of three engine suppliers to the IZOD IndyCar Series, Honda won this year's Indianapolis 500 with driver Dario Franchitti; and competes in prototype sports-car racing under the HPD banner in the American Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship, where it again took a P2 class win at this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. HPD offers a variety of race engines for track applications from prototype sports cars to karting; and showcases "fun-to-drive" products for professional, amateur and entry-level racers.

Star power didn't do much to attract moviegoers to the multiplex this weekend, as two celebrity-heavy films were unable to jump-start the box office.
"Pain & Gain," featuring typically reliable box-office draws Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg, debuted with a $20 million, according to an estimate from distributor Paramount Pictures. Fortunately, the studio only spent $26 million to produce the Michael Bay-directed action comedy — otherwise, its opening would be considered more troublesome.
"The Big Wedding," starring an ensemble cast that includes Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl and Diane Keaton, was the only other picture to launch this weekend. The movie — which cost nearly $10 million more to make than "Pain & Gain" — collected a disappointing $7.5 million during its opening weekend.
As a result, ticket sales were down 19% compared with the same three-day period last year, while year-to-date receipts and attendance have each tumbled roughly 12%.
Meanwhile, those who turned up to see the weekend's new films didn't like them much. Each movie received an average grade of C+, according to market research firm CinemaScore — spelling bad news for word-of-mouth in weeks to come.
"Pain & Gain," about bodybuilders who go on a crime spree in 1990s Miami, was part of a two-picture deal filmmaker Bay has with Paramount. The director behind the "Transformers" franchise will deliver the second film in that deal — the fourth "Transformers" film, also starring Wahlberg — in June 2014.
Outside of the alien-robot film series, Bay hasn't had much luck at this box office in recent years. His $100-million-plus sci-fi flick "The Island" tanked domestically in 2005, bringing in just $35.8 million in the U.S. and Canada.
"Pain & Gain," which received middling reviews, appealed to a slightly older audience, as 63% of the crowd was over the age of 25. The movie doesn't open overseas until August.
Critics loathed "The Big Wedding," a remake of a 2006 French film about a family brought together as two of its own walk down the aisle. At least distributor Lionsgate doesn't have much of an investment in the movie: The studio contributed less than $10 million to the $35-million budget — the rest of which was paid for by Avi Lerner's Millennium Films.
As expected, the movie appealed heavily to females, who made up 77% of the audience. Heading into the weekend, the studio tried to interest that demographic in the movie by offering a buy-one, get-one-free ticket promotion online.
The only exceptionally positive news at the box office this weekend came from abroad, where "Iron Man 3" got off to a fantastic start in advance of its U.S. opening on Friday. The Marvel Studios production was No. 1 in 42 international countries and collected $195.3 million — more than the $185.1 million "The Avengers" launched with in its opening weekend abroad last summer.
The movie did well in South Korea and Australia this weekend but performed best in the United Kingdom, where it grossed $21.5 million. The film also posted the biggest opening weekend ever in a handful of locations, including Argentina and Hong Kong. The picture starring Robert Downey Jr., which is being distributed by Walt Disney Studios, has yet to open in a few major markets, including Russia and China.

Taylor Swanson continued to make the most of her limited playing time after returning from a leg injury.
By Ray Maloney Journal Sports Editor Taylor Swanson continued to make the most of her limited playing time after returning from a leg injury. Christa Lysne came up big at opportune times to help her team stay within striking distance. Maddy Walford. Well, Walford simply made the biggest difference of all. Walford connected on the game-winner with 13.6 seconds remaining in the game to lift Devils Lake to a 67-66 win over Valley City on Thursday at the Devils Lake Sports Center. The win, which counted for two points in the Eastern Dakota Conference standings, improves Devils Lake to 3-4 in league play and 2-5 on the season. Valley City, meanwhile, drops to 2-3 in the EDC and 6-2 on the season. Walford connected on a 10-foot jump shot from near the free throw line with the final shot for the Firebirds to lift her team to the improbable comeback victory. That Devils Lake was even in a position to win the game did not appear likely in the first half. After falling behind 10-6 in the early going, the visiting Hi-Liners went on a 13-2 spurt to grab a 19-12 lead with less than 10 minutes to go in the half. They were able to extend the lead to 17 points (39-20) on a field goal from Mariah Olstad with 2:35 left in the half and matched that differential one minute later with Clarissa Olson connected from the floor to put her team in front 41-24 with 1:37 left in the half. Valley City held a 41-29 lead at the intermission. Devils Lake, which rallied from a large deficit earlier in the week before falling to Jamestown, repeated that feat against the Hi-Liners. The Firebirds used an 18-9 run to start the second half to close to within 52-47 when Jaydn Fee connected on a 3-pointer from the left wing with 10:39 to go. Swanson capped the comeback when she finished off a brilliant display of teamwork. Alexa Gathman stole the ball at midcourt and passed to Lysne, who in turn found Swanson all alone on the left side for an easy layup with 48 seconds to go to put Devils Lake in front 65-64. It was the Firebirds' first lead since leading 10-9 with 13:57 left in the open half. Olson hit on two free throws with 40.1 seconds to go to give the lead back to the Hi-Liners and setting the stage for the dramatic finish. Valley City was unable to get off a shot following Walford's heroic field goal. Walford had the biggest game of her career as she finished with a game-high 24 points and nine rebounds, which was also a game-high. Swanson, playing in just her second game this season, finished with 20 points and Lysne ended with 12 points. Valley City was paced by Jessica Denholm's 18 points. Olson and Madison Taylor finished with 17 and 10 points, respectively. Devils Lake was scheduled to play Grand Forks Central on Saturday at the Sports Center as part of a doubleheader with the DLHS boys team. Those games were postponed earlier today by officials at both schools and will be made up at a later date. Valley City (66): Jessica Denholm 18, Clarissa Olson 17, Madison Taylor 10, Dierra Diegel 9, Mariah Olstad 5, Madison McDaniel 5, Danica Diegel 2. Devils Lake (67): Maddy Walford 24, Taylor Swanson 20, Christa Lysne 12, Jadyn Fee 5, Dru Lunday 2, Maddie Eriksson 2, Alexa Gathman 2. Halftime: Valley City 41-29.

Close call for a starving grizzly bear cub, rescued in the nick of time
"We don't know what happened to his mother. We don't know how long he's been alone. But it's obvious he's had a rough time out in the wilds all by himself.
What a sorry sight.
He is very small, incredibly skinny and the fur is a solid mat. He is so weak he can barely stand and he has a slight head tremor that worries us."
This was the condition of the orphaned cub when our partner, Northern Lights Wildlife Society (NLWS), drove over 15 hours on the snowy, icy roads of British Columbia to pick this poor little guy up.
Residents had seen the cub by himself and called the local Conservation Officer (CO) who in turn called Peter and Angelika Langen, founding staff at NLWS.
Permits for grizzlies require that NLWS get them directly rather than use transport organizations or outside volunteers, Peter and Angelika waited nervously by the phone for word that the CO had captured the cub.
The CO spent hours in the freezing cold trying to find the cub.
A culvert trap was baited and set but the trip didn't work; the cub must have taken the bait and wandered off.
After a quick repair, another bait and set the team had success!
After a long and arduous trip back to NLWS with frequent stops to check on the cub, he settled in the NLWS isolation unit.
The weight was estimated to be between 25 to 30lb maximum – about half the weight he should be.
Food was introduced slowly and the stool looked very good, which was promising.
He was given a native name, "Tika", meaning "The Brave One" in Sioux and is doing well. His medical checkup and blood work showed nothing else wrong with him other than starvation.
Tika's extremely poor condition may have caused the head tremors because they are lessening as his overall condition improves.
He was so weak at the start that he could only stand for a minute or so. Then he stood on his ankles with his front paws turned inward but now he is standing on all fours.
He has not stood on his hind legs yet, which will be the next step in recovery.
One of the characteristics of a grizzly bear is the ability to "free" stand on their rear legs, a trait that allows them a better view of their surroundings.
He is gaining weight at a steady pace and will be moved in an adjacent enclosure to the other two grizzly cubs, Terry and Blair, hopefully this week.
There is perhaps no greater symbol of wilderness than the grizzly bear, and where the grizzly survives in viable populations it is a general sign of the integrity of that ecosystem.
It is truly worthwhile to save and protect these amazing animals as individuals and at a conservation level as well.
This valuable work could not be done without our supporters who encourage and inspire us to even greater heights.

Pity St. Joseph--- the underdog of the Northern Rhone.
Last June I heard so many sob stories from producers about how hard it was to get any attention. Of course I was very sympathetic but also surprised because out of the five red wine appellations in the north, St. Joseph is one of my favorites especially from the hearts, hands and hectares of Dard et Ribo, Gonon, Chave, Herv Souhaut and Bernard Faurie.
So how did its syrah get a bad rep? How is it that Cote-Rotie and Hermitage get all the glory? (With honorable mention given to Cornas and the Most Improved to Crozes-Hermitage?)
The main reason is that St. Jo is a big boy of an appellation. In 1956 there were six communes all around the town of Mauves but by the Summer of Woodstock twenty-five villages were allowed and not all of them had the gorgeous crushed granite that makes Northern Rhone syrah the real shit. The other reasons have to do with misconceptions; it seems as if Parker just doesn't ever reward the wines with high points and that's what his readers look for. St. Jo does not have snob appeal.
Last June I visited Jean Gonon of Domaine Gonon in Mauves. His wines were exciting and so it was lovely to discover he too was a sweetheart. He works without chemicals. He has a natural approach in the cellar and despises new wood, and except when he gives in to a replacement there is no new oak used here (and some barrels are as old as 40 years of age.) He works steep granitic soils. He's a brave man who lives openly n the fiercely heterosexual Northern Rhone. So, what's not to like?
Jean Gonon last June in his cellar.
I babbled on happily about him, trying to entice an importer friend, Mike, here in NYC, to pick him up for distribution.
Mike said to me, "I already have a St. Jo."
Would he have said he already had a Cote Rotie or an Hermitage --St. Jo's snootier neighbors? I should have told him he had one St. Jo, but it wasn't a very inspired one. Because to my palate, it's the truth.
When Chambers Street Wines snared Gonon for their shop I burst into applause. Oh joy, oh joy two of my top St. Joe's are in the New York City at Chambers Street Wines the Gonon and Dard et Ribo. To bad at $25-$32 they are in the price range of 'special treat.'
Last night I drank the 2004 Gonon with a friend I will call The Owl Man. The wine needs time. It is certainly a wee too young. Mr. Owl Man took a whiff, initially smiled, inhaled the aromas of smoky bacon and took a drink. He frowned and said " I can't stand new oak."
"Quiet, Alice," I said to myself. " You must not punish people for confused palates."

The following table shows how Rick Santorum (the least libertarian and most socially conservative of the Republican contenders) and Ron Paul (clearly the GOP's most libertarian candidate) fared among voters who support, are neutral towards, and oppose the tea party:
|Tea Party
For simplicity, Gingrich's and Romney's results are not shown (they're more consistent than Santorum and Paul are, with tea partiers showing a relatively gentle preference for Gingrich and against Romney). Tea party supporters were five times more likely to support Santorum than they were to support Paul, while those opposed to the tea party backed Paul over Santorum by a three-to-one margin.
If the tea party was primarily driven by libertarian concerns, I'd expect relative support among members to flow as follows, from most to least: Paul, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum. In fact, here it flows in exactly the opposite direction, with the most socially conservative candidate getting the greatest amount of tea party support relative to support from the rest of the Republican electorate while the least socially conservative candidate is received more coldly by tea partiers than he is by non-tea party Republican primary voters.
Parenthetically, Michigan's tea party exit poll numbers are more of a muddle, though opposition among tea partiers to Ron Paul is still pronounced, while tea partiers were modestly more relatively supportive of all three of the other candidates. To make sure Arizona's results weren't a fluke, I looked at the biggest and putatively most nationally representative state thus far, Florida. The tea party results shake out in much the same way as they do in Arizona.

If you don't have time to help in other ways but would like to get involved then please consider sponsoring a rescue animal!
Animal Lifeline UK works with rescues across the country to save hundreds of stray and pound dogs every year. We work hard to fundraise to help cover transport costs, and before going to a new home each dog must be neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and any other medical conditions, which also costs a significant amount of money.
Many of our pound dogs can be sponsored until they are rehomed, and, of course, any animals that cannot be rehomed stay with the rescue for the remainder of their lives. Sponsorship can mean rescues can help more animals in need and these 'harder to home' pets who may not otherwise be able to secure a rescue placement.
If you see any pound dog or animal in rescue listed on the forum you may be interested in sponsoring please do get in touch, either by replying directly on the thread, by sending a private message to a member of staff, or by e-mailing [email protected]

PORTLAND – Garin Cecchini knows baseball well, a true student of the sport.
Maybe it's because he took in his first game when he was 4 days' old.
Or the lessons could have begun earlier, while he was still in the womb and his mom was coaching first base.
The Red Sox promoted Cecchini, 22, to the Portland Sea Dogs last week. He joins a long list of touted prospects who have played at Hadlock Field. Baseball America ranked him Boston's No 7 prospect before this season.
The buzz over Cecchini, a third baseman, may not match that of top prospect Xander Bogaerts, who was just promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket, but Boston is high on Cecchini. A fourth-round draft pick out of high school in 2010, Cecchini received a $1.3 million signing bonus. He comes to Portland after batting .350 in Salem, with a 1.016 OPS (combined on-base and slugging averages).
"Reports on him have been terrific," Sea Dogs Manager Kevin Boles said. "Coaches in Salem rave about him.
"He has a hitter's presence. It looks like he has a real good understanding of the strike zone."
Cecchini better have an understanding of the strike zone and the game itself. His father, Glenn, is a renowned high school coach in Lake Charles, La. And Glenn's wife, Raissa, was his assistant coach for several years. Then there is younger brother Gavin, a Mets first-round draft pick in 2012 (receiving a $2.3 million signing bonus).
"It would be tough not to play baseball and be in the Cecchini family," Garin said, his smile coming easy and often.
The Cecchini's definitely are dedicated to baseball, which is why Raissa was coaching first base for Barbe High School in Lake Charles on April 20, 1991.
"I went into labor that night," Raissa said. And Garin was born.
Four days later, Barbe High was playing its next game. Garin was with his grandmother in the stands. Raissa was back in uniform, but stayed in the dugout.
"I had a C-section," she said.
Raissa Cecchini, a native of Louisiana, played baseball in her youth. When her high school mandated she play girls' softball instead of boys' baseball, she opted to compete in rodeo. She also played basketball and went on to play for the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana-Lafayette).
Glenn Cecchini, a Californian, was also in Lafayette, to play baseball. After he met Raissa, he would only go back to California to visit. They settled in Lake Charles. He became Barbe High's baseball coach in 1986 and talked Raissa into being his assistant.
She coached until her sons' baseball careers took off in youth leagues. She wanted to be with her boys.
Garin starred at Barbe and received a scholarship to Louisiana State before his senior year. The only factor that could keep him from LSU was being a first-round pick in the major league draft, with a sizable bonus.
But Cecchini did not play baseball his senior year, suffering a torn tendon in his right knee. He was still a draft prospect, but his value took a hit.
"I got drafted in the fourth round. I didn't think I was going to sign," Cecchini said. "But the Red Sox took a gamble on me."
Not only did Boston offer big money, the team invited Cecchini on a "recruiting visit" to Fenway Park.
"They threw out the red carpet for me," he said. "Just going to Fenway, thinking of all the players stepping in the left-handed batters' box. I thought this is where I want to play. This is where I want to be called a professional baseball player."
Cecchini suffered a broken wrist in his first season in 2011, when he was hit by a pitch. He finally came on in 2012 in Greenville and broke out with Salem early this season. Cecchini is a patient hitter, and a solid hitter to all fields.
"I've never seen anyone put the barrel on the ball like he does," said Sea Dogs reliever Mike McCarthy, who was in Salem with Cecchini.
But McCarthy, 25, said there is more to Cecchini.
"He's a great teammate," McCarthy said. "He's younger than me and I still learn from him."
It is not an accident that Cecchini is a good influence. The Cecchini family may be known for raising baseball players, but they also build character. The ball field is important, but church is the real hallowed ground.
"God is first" Raissa said. "A baseball career is a short time. I want (my sons) to be good Christian men and good fathers."
That may be why Garin Cecchini is known for spending time visiting hospitals and doing other good deeds wherever he plays. When he signed with the Red Sox, he immediately donated $20,000 to the Jimmy Fund, the Boston charity for cancer research.
Ask Cecchini about his good deeds and he winces.
"You don't boast about stuff like that," Cecchini said.
He will allow that he wants to be known as a good baseball player — and much, much more.
"I want to be known as a child of God, being a good person for other people, giving them the respect they deserve," Cecchini said. "I want to be a good citizen, and I want to be a good teammate."
As far as being a good ballplayer in the majors, Cecchini is getting closer. He's impressed in four games with Portland, batting .313 (5 for 16) and making flashy plays at third base.
"It's another step," Cecchini said of Double-A ball. "Another challenge to try to master."
Another prospect with big goals, and that easy smile.

Barbara Gibson stays on the move, and she loves it. Working as a hairdresser for the past 43 years, Gibson, a Thomasville resident, is also a long-time volunteer.
THOMASVILLE | Barbara Gibson stays on the move, and she loves it.
Her active lifestyle keeps her young, as she put it, and also keeps things interesting.
Working as a hairdresser for the past 43 years, Gibson, a Thomasville resident, is also a long-time volunteer with the Meals on Wheels program and an active member of Rich Fork Baptist Church.
She's gained a long list of recurring customers, most of which are styled at A Perfect 10 Salon, Gibson's business. However, the 63-year-old pro has also gained a reputation of going to her customers who are confined to their homes.
"I care about them," Gibson said. "They come to me, so why can't I go to see them?"
Before starting A Perfect 10, Gibson first worked as a hairdresser in High Point for 27 years. Most of her former clients from High Point have followed her to Thomasville.
Gibson said the people, her customers, are the best part of her job and have kept her at it so long.
"You learn so much from people, especially older people," Gibson said.
Her customers come from all over Davidson County. She has a couple of clients from High Point, one from Asheboro and even a woman who drives all the way from Myrtle Beach several times a year.
In a small town, Gibson recognizes the social outlet that a hairdresser's shop provides.
"I want them to feel at home when they come in here," Gibson said.
Hilda Rabon, Gibson's friend and customer, said a lot of people will arrive 20-30 minutes early on purpose.
"They love coming here, and most of them never want to leave," Rabon said. "She really cares about people."
When Gibson's not shaping or cutting at her shop, she's helping with one of the various committees she serves on at church, including the flower committee.
Gibson also runs a Meals on Wheels route about every other week.
"It blesses me more than it blesses them," Gibson said.
Frances Corne of Thomasville has been coming to Gibson for 40 years. She said she's seen her hairdresser's caring nature on full display.
"I have a friend who was sick, and Barbara would go to High Point to do her hair," Corne said. "She's great."
A Perfect 10 Salon is located at the corner of Johnsontown and Lake roads in Thomasville. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 474-2272.

Morning Five: 10.17.11 EditionPosted by rtmsf on October 17th, 2011
- And so begins the shortest 'preseason' in all of sports, the 24 days between the start of official practice — as celebrated by Midnight Madness all across the country on Friday night — and the opening games of the 2kSports Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, on November 7. It's an astonishingly short window, but all that means is that we're that much closer to seeing bona fide college basketball on our televisions and in our local arenas very soon. Let's get you caught up. On Friday night we put together a Storytelling piece capturing some of the excitement around the land as MM tipped off everywhere. Yesterday we put together a list of the 13 best dunks from this year's proceedings, several of which will have you drooling in anticipation for more. Immediately following this post, we'll publish the most interesting Friday night clips from several of the blue-blooded programs like Duke, Kentucky, Connecticut, Kansas, North Carolina and several others. Midnight Madness weekend is great because it represents a new beginning — every team is still unblemished and ostensibly has an equal shot at doing something special. Welcome to next year.
- During ESPNU's Midnight Madness coverage Friday night, Andy Katz spent as much time talking football through the lens of conference realignment scenarios as he did discussing his favored sport. Word leaked during the broadcast that the Big East had reportedly offered five schools membership to the conference — Houston, SMU and Central Florida in all sports, and Boise State and Air Force in football only. The goal, of course, is to keep the conference's automatic BCS bid, but each step 'forward' appears increasingly desperate for a league that built its reputation on basketball three decades ago and has never really been that significant on the gridiron. As Lenn Robbins writes in the NY Post, the conference doesn't expect to announce any movement until after the Big East's basketball media day this week, but we truly feel that grabbing schools without regard for regional ties and rivalries is a shortsighted strategy doomed to ultimately fail. The non-BCS Big East schools very seriously considered walking away from the rest of this madness, and who would blame them at this point?
- Aaron Torres writes that this will be a "golden season" in college basketball, and he makes a compelling case for his argument. As everyone here already knows, the number of elite players who returned to college rather than face an NBA lockout, when combined with an exceptional class of incoming freshmen, could produce a quality of depth in the sport that we haven't seen in a number of years. Torres contends that the last time college basketball was this talented was in 1995-96, at the cusp of the preps-to-pros trend (Kevin Garnett skipped college that year) and featuring upperclassman stars such as Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, among others. Let's hope that the NBA's eventual collective bargaining agreement makes seasons like this the future norm with a two-and-done rule allowing us to enjoy players for a couple of years prior to moving on to the professional ranks.
- Seth Davis gives us answers to his ten burning questions as we head into the 2011-12 season. Starting today, we plan on rolling out our own list of 20 questions over the next several weeks, but we can guarantee you that none of ours will involve Utah State senior superfan, Bill Sproat. We're honestly not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but the one answer he gives that we can completely get on board with is #7 — which underachieving big man will make a giant leap? The answer to that question is legitimately the difference between his team being a borderline Top 10 to 15 squad and the overall best team in America. Tell us what you think.
- Kansas released some disappointing news on Friday afternoon just before its Late Night in the Phog celebration. Two more members of its freshman class, Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, will join Braeden Anderson as ineligible to play this season because of high school transcript issues (all three attended three different high schools). For a team suffering considerable losses of key personnel from last season's Elite Eight squad, this is another blow to Bill Self's aspiration to win an eighth straight Big 12 regular season title in 2011-12. He worked to temper expectations on Friday, especially now that his Jayhawks are down to eight legitimate players and in need of significant improvements from returnees such as Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson. If Self can outlast Baylor, Missouri and Texas A&M again this year in the Big 12 race, he'll certainly deserve any postseason COY accolades he gets.

Progress is Being Made on Health Insurance Exchange
UNDATED (AP) -- While California law gives its health care exchange sweeping authority to conceal its spending on outside contractors, Minnesota's exchange already has made several key contracts and requests for proposals readily available to the public on its website.
Those contracts cover several topics including computer infrastructure, outreach communications, marketing, brand development and quality ratings. All the contracts list how much money the state is obligated to pay.
MNsure operates under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, which presumes that all government data are public unless there's a state or federal law that classifies the data as private.
The law that created MNsure does shield certain data that the insurance marketplace will collect, primarily data about individuals and employers that get coverage through the exchange. Applications from insurance companies that hope to sell health plans on the exchange start out as private except for the name of the applicant. But all the data in those applications, with the exception of trade secrets, becomes public once the exchange makes a final decision on the application.
