Volcanoes' Eberle sparks All-Star rally
Giants prospect singles in three-run ninth, homers, wins MVP
By Jared Ravich / MiLB.com | August 6, 2013 10:08 PM
EVERETT, Wash. -- With a fourth-inning home run and a leadoff single in a dramatic ninth inning, Salem-Keizer third baseman Sam Eberle sparked the South Division to an 8-7 come-from-behind win over the North at the 2013 Northwest League All-Star Game.
A crowd of 3,818 at Everett Memorial Stadium cheered the return of the All-Star Game, which had not been played in the Northwest League since 2004.
"They really treated us first-class, like big leaguers," Eberle said. "I really appreciate all of it. It's a great honor to be here with all these players and all these coaches who are the best in the league. It's a great honor."
It also was also a great night for Salem-Keizer's All-Star representatives. Not only did Eberle score three runs and take the MiLB.com Top Star Award, Volcanoes right-hander Raymundo Montero picked up the win, right fielder Tyler Hollick drove in the tying run with a sacrifice fly and shortstop Jeremy Sy walked and scored a run.
James Pugliese recorded two outs in the ninth and Boise Hawks teammate Tyler Bremer fanned Everett's Jack Reinheimer to record the save and tag AquaSox right-hander Jose Valdivia with the loss.
The North jumped out to an early lead when Vancouver Canadians first baseman L.B. Dantzler connected for a three-run homer off Salem-Keizer's Andrew Leenhouts in the bottom of the first.
"Runners on second and third, I was just trying to get the ball up in the air, get a sac fly," Dantzler said. "He got to 2-0 and he had thrown me two fastballs, so I figured he was going to go back to it. And I got a pitch over the plate and was able to get it over that wall."
The South came right back with three runs in the second as Hawks catcher Lance Rymel walked, Eberle reached on an error and Eugene Emeralds center fielder Ronnie Richardson delivered an RBI double. Eberle scored on a sac fly by Hillsboro's Yogey Perez-Ramos and Richardson trotted home on a groundout by Hollick to tie it at 3-3.
The North quickly regained the lead as Everett's Justin Seager singled and Vancouver's Justin Atkinson homered to make it 5-3. The host team extended its lead in the third on an RBI groundout by Michael Tauchman and a run-scoring single by Tri-City teammate Alec Mehrten. Meanwhile, Spokane's David Ledbetter needed only eight pitches to turn in the game's first 1-2-3 inning.
The South chipped away, getting a solo shot from Eberle in the fourth and an RBI single from Boise's Jacob Rogers in the fifth that plated Sy. After that, both bullpens settled things down as Eugene's Jimmy Brasoban, Hillsboro's Daniel Gibson, Salem-Keizer's Jake Smith, Hillsboro's Will Locante and Montero each pitched a scoreless frame for the South. Vancouver's Kyle Anderson, Spokane's Eric Brooks, Everett's Aaron Brooks and Tri-City's Trent Daniel combined for three shutout innings for the North.
Eberle, however, had other ideas as the South entered the ninth trailing, 7-5.
"We were just really relaxed here in the dugout," he said while holding the Top Star bat. "We weren't really pressing too much. We were having fun and luckily, we came through there at the end. I thought the North put up a great fight."
Eberle singled off Valdivia, took second on a wild pitch, moved to third on an error by Dantzler and scored on a single by Perez-Ramos.
"It's tough we didn't win," said Dantzler, who couldn't come up with a ball off Richardson's bat. "Tough play there. I thought I could get to that ball in the air and it short-hopped me a little bit and ended up costing us the game. That's just the way baseball is."
With Richardson at third, Perez-Ramos stole second. Hollick followed with a sacrifice fly to produce the tying run and Eugene's Hunter Renfroe singled home Perez-Ramos with the go-ahead tally run on a hard shot to Tri-City left fielder Sean Dwyer, who won the Home Run Derby earlier in the day.
"It's been a great experience all the way around," Eberle said. "It makes me really look forward to the second half, getting back to work."

Ryan C. Moore, a state beverage company sales manager who was also an avid sports fan, died Friday of an apparent heart attack.
The Jarrettsville resident was 38.
Mr. Moore was on his way to an appointment when stricken and was transported to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air, where he was pronounced dead, family members said.
Born in Baltimore and raised in the Loch Raven neighborhood of Baltimore County, Mr. Moore was a 1992 graduate of Loch Raven High School.
During his high school years, he lettered in several sports and was selected as Baltimore County Athlete of the Year in 1992.
He was awarded an athletic scholarship to Butler University in Indianapolis, where he was a midfielder and a four-year co-captain and later captain of the university's lacrosse team.
While at Butler, from which he earned a bachelor's degree in 1996 in business, he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity and was affectionately known as "Craven," family members said.
For the last eight years, Mr. Moore had been Maryland state sales manager for Sidney Frank Importing Co. Inc., a New Rochelle, N.Y.-based alcoholic beverages importing company.
Earlier, he had been in sales with Reliable Churchill LLP in Baltimore, wholesale distributors of wines and distilled spirits.
Mr. Moore continued playing lacrosse in an over-30 Harford County men's league and enjoyed coaching youth recreational council lacrosse. He was also an avid Ravens fan.
A Mass of Christian burial for Mr. Moore will be offered at 11 a.m. Thursday at Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, 8501 Loch Raven Blvd., Baynesville.
Surviving are his wife of 10 years, the former Jessica L. Rossano; a son, Cooper Moore, 2; two daughters, Sydney Moore, 8, a student at Jarrettsville Elementary School, and Addison Moore, 4; his mother, Paula D. Moore of Jarrettsville; four brothers, Adam P. Moore Jr. and Shane Moore, both of Jarrettsville, David Moore of Timonium and Bradley Moore of Parkville; and 16 nieces and nephews.

Michael Wermuth, Jr. - Oscar the Grouch. He's such a great character, isn't he? But today our focus isn't on Oscar as much as it is on his trash can. Because his trash can is such an integral part of the character. It's where he lives, and it has had changes over the years. There are so many observations to make about that trash can, and I am here to talk about them.
First, let's talk about how that trash can looks, shall we? When the show began, the trash can looked a bit shinier. Maybe too shiny for a grouch, because it soon got darker and rustier. In Follow That Bird Oscar lives in a different-looking trash can. I can't exactly pinpoint the difference between his Sesame Street trash can and his Follow That Bird trash can, but I like how it looks in that movie. But in Elmo in Grouchland it looks very shiny. Not very good for a grouch. I give it some slack for the first episode because the show was new, but for 1999 I'd say a shiny trash can for Oscar is unacceptable.
And now let's talk about the lid. Oscar's lid is hinged to the trash can, staying upward whenever the trash can opens. In the first episode we can actually see some wires that keep the lid open, though later on we don't see anything. As we all know in illustrations, Oscar wears his lid as a hat. The reason for Oscar wearing his lid as a hat but not on the show was explained in a Muppet Mindset article, straight from illustrator Joe Matieu's mouth. Basically somebody didn't think it looked right when in illustrated form Oscar's body appears in front of an open lid, but it had to be done that way on the show. But then again, whenever Bruno carries Oscar's trash can, the lid is just hanging from the side of the trash can. I guess if the lid was hinged up when Bruno carried the can the lid would easily keep falling onto Oscar. But there are times (such as in episode 1899 and in the "Sesame Street, Special") where Oscar can be shown shutting and/or opening the lid on this particular trash can, showing that it is possible for Oscar to open and close it without the lid needing to be hinged on.
And then there's the subject of Oscar's traveling can. In the third season Oscar cut holes in the bottom of the trash can allowing him to walk with his trash can. A clever idea, but lately I've been wondering if they did this so illustrators could avoid drawing his whole body if needed. After all, Oscar has often been seen outside of his trash can, though in the early years it seems he's rarely out of the can. When Oscar walks this way we only see his legs, the lid on his can being shut. I guess it's hard to find a short person who could also operate the puppet while wearing the legs. But in illustrations when Oscar uses his traveling can we do see the top part of Oscar in addition to his legs at the bottom.
And finally there's the inside of the trash can. It's rarely shown, but it seems to be bigger on the inside than on the outside, assuming it is inside as opposed to a bigger area underneath the can. I know that The Sesame Street Book & Record has some sort of map thingy to the inside of Oscar's can, drawn as if it's underground. The only time we got a really good look at the inside of Oscar's trash can was in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, where it looks very impressive. The fact that Oscar cut holes in the bottom so he could bring his trash with him when he travels sort of defeats the theory that his home is actually under the trash can, yet holes in the bottom make it easier for Oscar's items to fall out.
All in all, Oscar the Grouch has a great trash can. Too many places have trash cans that do NOT resemble Oscar's. They're often too plastic and sometimes have wheels and handles, and for some reason they put those garbage bags inside them. Yuck! Who would want those? I say that the only proper trash can should be metal, rusted, with no bag inside, and a round lid, preferably one that can be hinged. And maybe put a swimming pool inside it as well.

The World of Oscar's Trash Can

I have an old Sesame book about Elmo and Ernie finidng out what is in Oscar's can, it is said that Oscar has a pool, a bowling alley and an elephant in there.ReplyDelete
I agree, Oscars can stirred up my first vision of a Tardis. No holes, no underground dwelling. Just a grouches home that defies logic....come on an elephant, swimming pool and those long drops when throwing stuff down. And it rested upon stuff.ReplyDelete

Thanks in Advance..
My travel agent is asking if I have travel insurance, should I buy it from them?
Anyone please give me some suggestion about my question.
Thanks in Advance..
Hi car8788,
Here are some suggestions to help you make an informed purchase.
1. Consider the worst-case scenario. If you can financially withstand the worst-case scenario then maybe you don't need travel insurance or maybe you don't need a comprehensive policy.
2. Make sure the policy you are considering provides adequate medical/dental coverage, including medical evacuation coverage just in case you need medical care in a place where the best treatment available is below the standards you are accustomed to in your country. This can happen if you fall ill in a developing country or even on a cruise ship.
3. Check your existing insurance policies for possible coverage. There is no sense in paying more for what you already have in your homeowner or tenant policy, such as theft and loss coverage.
4. If you are a frequent traveler, you should consider annual or year-round travel insurance policies. Sometimes they are called multi-trip travel insurance policies. Whatever the name, these policies can be relatively cheap when compared to single-trip travel insurance policies.
5. Know what you are buying, so read the fine print. Make sure that you understand what the company considers to be a legitimate reason for cancellation or interruption. If the list is too restrictive, maybe you should consider another policy.
6. Don't restrict yourself to buying only from your travel agent. He/She will probably only have one company's product(s) available, and it's there for your convenience, but that convenience can be quite costly!
7. Ask lots of questions about the coverage. Play the 'what if' game. Ask for clear explanations of terminology. Make sure that you and the travel insurance company are speaking the same language.
8. Don't buy the insurance through your transportation provider. If the airline goes bankrupt, how adequate will your insurance coverage be?
Once Youve Bought Your Travel Insurance
Remember that your travel insurance policy covers you between certain specific dates, so don't start your trip early or extend your trip without first changing the dates of coverage on your travel insurance policy. Of course, this might cost you extra, but that's cheaper than finding yourself without coverage when you need it the most.
Also, it almost goes without saying that you should bring your travel insurance policy with you when you go abroad. You can't consult the policy if it's sitting on your desk at home. You should also carry your travel insurance company's toll-free assistance phone number and other contact information with you wherever you go. It does you no good if you get ill or hurt and the necessary policy information is sitting in your hotel room. It's also a good idea to bring your regular medical coverage cards and info with you.
I hope these tips will help you by the best travel insurance for you. Then take your trip with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are insured by the right travel insurance policy at the right price. Bon voyage!

Thanks for sharing your suggestion here..
I really appreciate for sharing your answer here...
Depends. Before taking out a policy, it's important to determine whether you need protection at all. Experts say that with so many travel insurance products available, thorough research is critical — and that means reading the policy in its entirety, not just the brochure.
Yes, you should buy it from travel agent but be sure travel insurance coverage policy that they are offering you, it covers all your needs or not.
One thing is for sure, you shouldn't travel without insurance, and the question of where to buy it from is down to your personal choice. Travel agents like selling insurance as of course, they receive commission on any sales they make but also, many bookings are not possible without insurance as the contract will cover " "cancellation Insurance" to cover you if you can't go travelling.
In my opinion, the most important section of a travel insurance policy is the medical expenses section. Try to obtain a policy with a high sum insured in respect of medical expenses especially if you are travelling g to somewhere like the United States. We were their last year and my son fell ill, with a very minor complaint and a 20 minute consultations with medication set me back over $350.00
Often people worry about losing their baggage but in reality, what's the most you are going to lose if your suitcase goes missing? Over the years I have seen medical claims for thousands and thousands of pounds and not just from more mature people. Younger people never think thy will go on holiday and fall ill but I have seen many cases, where people under the age of 30 have had to be repatriated at great cost.

Do you all avail a travel insurance even if the airline doesn't require it?

I hate yarnbombing puns but global yarnbombing sounds so much like global warming which yarnbombing does in an arty way .
I find myself consumed with reading about yarnbombing all over the world and taking illegible notes in my ruled notebook. I am always getting obsessed with something and I have learned to just go after it . I have been sitting and waiting for a long time for someone to thoroughly document everything about international yarnbombing . It would be such a valuable , time consuming , thankless , unpaid and odd undertaking.
Perfect for me.
So I'm starting a new series here to document the fantastic yarnbombing streetart of others . With some of my undertakings shoved in too.
On that note – this well chronicled North Berkeley Library bike rack has had a ridiculous ending – someone stole it last week after only 2 weeks of it being up .
What did I learn from this .
Maybe that it's not worth all the trouble of asking permission for an ephemeral out door undertaking that can be easily swiped.
Maybe that I would like to do some bigger legal commissions. We shall see.

Stephanie, faery finder, thanks for this post... the kids are all snuggled in with books after we arrived home barely safe, caught in a snow storm, when we should have been home looking for star whales. I am shaking. I love that your owl in the dark is here for I think the salt water wants to come down my cheeks right now instead of staying in the oceans where it belongs. I am worn a bit thin by the travel we just had and you give respite friend. Thanks and love to a faery girl with the changing hair. Love and kisses,and oops there they go over my cheeks (and husband is gone on business so I will go find a flaxen haired daughter or son to dry them, those sneaky salty things)from Amy from snowy Wisconsin. Thank-you.

Stephanie, I do believe it kindred girl! You know this lamb represents so much to me in terms of how I saw the world. Stay soft, think clean, bounce with joy like only a new lamb can... have you seen it? when a new lamb jumps just because? Joy, rapture to behold and never grow to old to snuggle. These little things define me and silly one that I am I swear it was this darling lamby that kept those feelings in my heart. I am so glad you are a child at heart, as well. I find your name so appropos friend, faerie finder. Glad to delight in your friendship, too! I am lucky. Soft blessings.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Despite a second-half run that brought Mount Holyoke College within 10 points with just six minutes left to play, the MIT women's basketball team held on for a 47-32 NEWMAC victory on Saturday afternoon. Playing all 40 minutes, junior Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) compiled 15 points, five rebounds, four assists, and four steals for the Engineers (4-3, 3-2 NEWMAC). Junior Amber Legare (Chicopee, Mass.) led the Lyons (2-4, 1-4 NEWMAC) with a game-high 16 points to go along with seven rebounds and two steals.
A three-point play by sophomore Sabrina Drammis (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) gave MIT a 7-3 lead after five minutes expired. Mount Holyoke responded with a Legare layup and a three-pointer from junior Kate Karraker (Morgantown, W. Va.) to claim the one-point edge. Midway through the frame, jumpers by Drammis and Kordell put the hosts in front, 11-8; however, Legare's layup on the Lyons' next trip down the court kept them within striking distance. On MIT's ensuing possession, a put-back by Drammis at the 8:30 mark sparked a 16-2 run that resulted in a 27-12 advantage at the intermission.
The Engineers continued to cruise in the second half as their margin grew to 21 (36-15) courtesy of Kordell's fast-break layup following five minutes of action. Mount Holyoke slowly mounted a 16-5 run that narrowed the gap to 10 (41-31) on junior Nicole DeMarchena's layup with 6:24 remaining. During the stretch, Legare registered six points while the Lyons converted all eight of their free-throw attempts after going 1-of-7 from the charity stripe in the first half. Sophomore Maya Ramachandran (Fremont, Calif.) helped thwart the comeback bid as she went 4-for-4 at the free-throw line on back-to-back MIT possessions as Drammis added a basket with 1:42 on the clock.
Drammis finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, and two assists while Ramachandran recorded 11 points and nine boards. Senior Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) chipped in nine rebounds and three steals as junior Michelle Battipaglia (Katonah, N.Y.) contributed five boards and two steals.
Karraker racked up seven points, four rebounds, three assists, and two steals for Mount Holyoke. DeMarchena notched a team-high eight rebounds in addition to two steals as senior Kathleen O'Connor (Southampton, Mass.) rounded out the squad with five boards.
Next up for MIT will be a home game on Tuesday, Dec. 10 against Framingham State University. Mount Holyoke returns to action on December 29 at the two-day San Juan Tournament in Puerto Rico.

Jeff and everyone else. Just to let you know that the tarp tensioners you show on your website Jeff using the slingshot replacement tubing is far more expensive than what I found today.
I had reason to go into a local Hospital Supply store and asked if they sold Latex Rubber Tubing by the foot. They did and it ranged in size from 1/16 inch walled stuff to 1/8 inch. From 1/4 ID down to 1/8 ID. Price was 1.15 per foot for the 1/4 ID X 1/16 wall.
So bottom line is check around you just might find a cheaper price. I picked up 6 feet and will have plenty of tensioners for the future. Check out your own local Pharmacy or Hospital Supply stores for some bargains and odds are also probably that the Latex is fresher. It does dry-rot and is not UV resistant.

The Year in Music
Weekly Alibi's Guide to the Best Ear Candy of 2004
At the end of each year, when I'm inspired to relax for a moment and take a look back, I always come back to the same realization: I have very little, if anything, to bitch about. I love music, I love to write, I love to spew my opinions all over the place and I happen to hold the position of music editor at the second largest, and arguably most hip entertainment and culture newspaper in the city I was born and raised in, and am irrevocably attached to ... score! And one of the many perks this job provides is being able to backtrack through 12 months of music—some of it fantastic, some of it excruciatingly bad—in an effort to compile an annual list of the CDs that have most positively affected my life over the past year. It's one of the most difficult parts of the job considering the sheer number of new releases I wade through each calendar year, but it's also one of the most rewarding tasks I'll ever undertake.
The Year in Music Uncensored
A Look Back at Some Fantastic Releases That Didn't Quite Make the Final Cut
This little "websclusive" feature was assembled as a reminder of just how much great music came out in 2004, and hopefully offers at least a few more national and local releases to add to your wish list.

Alright, so I'm really slacking on getting these posts up, but I did mail my packages. I also had a lovely long conversation with the mail lady. That would be one of the very nice things about living in a small town. I have long conversations with the ladies at the post office. The teller at the bank notices when I lose a little weight. It's like that old Sesame Street song, "These are the People in Your Neighborhood". SO I went to the post office this morning with my jam, and my two soldier packages.
Yes, it's time for another installment of Operation Baking Gals! This time I have two soldiers. A soldier who is now on his second tour in Iraq and another soldier who has 50 soldiers with him. So I sent one soldier some of Aunt Nicky's Butter cookies cut into leaf shapes.
And then I sent another soldier some Cowboy cookies, delightful oatmeal-pecan-chocolate chip-coconut cookies of unfortunate Republican roots, made over by the lovely Martha Stewart (who has a really neat blog now. Check it out! And yes, neat as in tidy, duh, but also neat as in cool.)
And finally I searched the library book of the month, The Complete Cookie. I also got the Maltese Falcon (ooooh good) and Fahrenheit 451 (yikes scary). I don't just read cookbooks. In The Complete Cookie, I came across a delicious recipe for Caramel Meringue Filled Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies. They were really pretty easy to make and super delicious.
I hope the cookies brighten the soldiers' day.
Caramel Meringue-Filled Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
from The Complete Cookie
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg white
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp dark molasses
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer set at medium speed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
Drop the dough by the heaping tablespoonful onto the prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, until the cookies turn light golden.
Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
For the filling, bring water to a simmer over low heat in the bottom of a double boiler.
Meanwhile, combine the egg white, sugars, water, molasses, and cream of tartar in the detached top of the double boiler. Whisk to blend. Fit the top of the double boiler over simmering water, making sure that the water doesn't touch the underside. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture reaches a temperature of 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove the top of the double boiler from the heat and begin to beat immediately with an electric mixer at medium speed. Continue to mix for about 8 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Spread about 2 1/2 teaspoons of the filling on the flat bottom of a cooled cookie and top with a second cookie, flat side in, to make a sandwich. Repeat the process until all the cookies have been filled.
Freeze for 2 days and then mail off.

Manzanar Fishing Club Film Event
As part of the Searching for Democracy Film Festival the Library presents
The Manzanar Fishing Club
, a feature-length documentary that chronicles the Japanese-American internment during World War II from a different perspective. Join us Saturday, October 13 at 2:00PM in the Main Library Auditorium.
The film features the story of internees who sought out fishing grounds in the Eastern Sierras despite the armed guards, barbed wire and searchlights. The personal stories go beyond the confinement itself, and instead highlight the courage, responsibility and cooperation that enable the human spirit to survive in difficult times. Interviews with experts provide new insight into the social and political backdrop of the internment.
Free event.
This event is made possible by California Reads with support from Cal Humanities, in partnership with California Center for the Book. Visit
for more information.

With all the H1N1 discourse and debate, the nation's focus is definitely on flu season. With so much attention given to the prevention and treatment of the flu, it seems that the other big winter illness — the common cold — is getting less attention. While the common cold is typically the gentler sickness of the two — it still allows many to go to work and school, for example, while the flu usually lays people up for a week or more — it is still a drain on us, both as individuals, and as a wider population.
To protect ourselves from getting a cold or the flu, physical barriers usually rule the day: hand-washing, not sharing cups or water bottles, or staying out of busy public places altogether are strategies that we hear about over and over again.
But what about your diet? Is there anything you can take that will make you less likely to get the cold? And once you're in the clutches of one, is there anything that can make a cold's duration shorter or its symptoms less severe? While there are numerous purported cold remedies on the market, here are the highlights of a few popular nutritional supplements and their possible benefits — or lack thereof — in preventing the common cold.
When it comes to cold prevention, who doesn't think about popping some vitamin C? After decades of recommendations based largely around the prevention of scurvy, vitamin C made its way into our collective consciousness with two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling's assertions that mega-dosing was a pathway to good health. Now, many of us don't think twice about popping several thousand milligrams at a time, and there is a widely held belief that taking vitamin C at the onset of a cold will hold it at bay.
But what does the research say? In 2007, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews — basically, the granddaddy of evidence-based reviews on medical research — published an updated review of vitamin C and the common cold, and found that, in a nutshell, yes, vitamin C regularly can reduce the length one suffers from a cold — by 8% in adults and 14% in children, as long as it is taken regularly. But when taken after the onset of symptoms, there was no effect on the length or severity. In other words, megadosing on vitamin C after you feel your first sniffle doesn't seem to do much.
Although the general population may not benefit from taking vitamin C for a cold, there is some evidence that athletes training at a high level (marathon runners, for example), and those exposed to extreme cold temperatures can benefit from popping a few pills.
The sunshine vitamin plays a role in immune system function, and at least according to early evidence, it might help to prevent respiratory tract infections. In fact, a study published in the February edition of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine found that individuals with a lower circulating level of vitamin D had a higher likelihood of developing a respiratory tract infection.
On the other hand, a more recent study, published in the October issue of Epidemiology and Infection, found that subjects given 2000 IU of vitamin D over a 12 week period were no less likely to develop a respiratory tract infection. Since there is very limited research on the role vitamin D plays in the development of the common cold, the bottom line is that we simply don't yet know enough to be able to do anything but speculate. Having said that, since so many Canadians are vitamin D deficient by late fall or early winter — the time when cold and flu season hits full stride — taking a vitamin D supplement probably isn't a bad idea, even if it is for other health benefits than cold prevention.
Long used by numerous cultures for taste and health, garlic's antimicrobial and antiviral properties has earned it a reputation as a classic cold-fighter. But does the evidence agree? According to a Cochrane review published earlier this year, researchers found that there is insufficient evidence to suggest that garlic should be used to either prevent or treat the common cold. Bear in mind, however, that the issue was not so much that garlic isn't useful, but rather that there haven't been enough well-controlled trials to allow a clear conclusion to be drawn, one way or the other.
In fact, in one double-blinded trial, subjects given garlic pills containing 180 mg of allicin (the active compound in garlic) for 12 weeks developed only a third as many colds as those given a placebo (dummy pill) for the same amount of time. Since double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials are considered the gold standard for proof, the results would certainly suggest that garlic has a role to play, at least in cold prevention, but more good trials are needed.
A known immune system modulator, there is some research to suggest that zinc can be used to manage respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, and the common cold. While there is some indication that zinc supplements might be most beneficial for children and the elderly — in other words, those with weakened or compromised immune systems — the data is inconsistent.
As for the benefits of using zinc lozenges to treat the common cold, the reviewers at Cochrane deemed the data inconclusive. Yes, there are several well-controlled trials, and some have demonstrated that zinc lozenges can, in fact, reduce the duration or the severity of the common cold, others have shown no effect. The difference could be the result of the type of zinc used and its bioavailability (the ability of the body to uptake and use a particular form of a nutrient), but the possibility of bias was also raised.

Product Details
Subaru WRX STI Base / Limited 2013, Exact Fit™ Hybrid Black Wiper Blade by Trico®. 1 Piece. Installation Type: 9mm Hook, 9x4 Hook. Material: Plastic. OE Design. With a high-strength polymer shell, these hybrid blades can't choke up with frozen sleet and stop working. No additional adapters needed. Don't squint and slow down just because it's raining. Replace those funky old wiper blades with a new Trico® Exact Fit™ blade.
- High-strength polymer shell safeguards blade and provides optimum contact pressure
- Superior all-weather performance
- Shell prevents mud or dirt from jamming blade as well
- Easy to install
- Pre-assembled for quick and easy wiper replacement every time
- Restore vision during marginal weather
- OEM fit, form and function
- Designed to fit unique integral rear wiper arms
Trico's Hybrid blades combine the consistent windshield contact and aerodynamic, snow-shedding qualities of a beam blade. A highly-engineered polymer shell protects the spring-loaded superstructure, ensuring that the linkages remain clean and flexible. A frozen blade can no longer curve to follow the windshield, leaving you with annoying, dangerous gaps in the swept area. Bonus: the shell also keeps mud, road grit and salt from mechanically jamming the linkage, so it's not all about snowy days.
Trico® Exact Fit™ replacement blades make it easy to restore your vehicle to original factory quality. Made from the finest quality natural rubber and high-strength steel, they offer long-lasting performance. The American Optometric Association reports that 90 percent of your driving decisions are based on visibility. Trico® wants drivers to know just how critical it is to change wiper blades regularly.
Wiper blades have a tough day, even when it's not raining. They sit on a hot windshield, out in the sun with its degrading UV radiation. They have to wipe off not only water, but also road grit, corrosive washer fluid and salt water from road salt. While the natural rubber from which blades are made provides the most flexible and resilient edge for wiping across glass, it eventually dries out and deteriorates. The rubber can become warped by heat or made brittle by cold. Modern windshields are curved, forcing the blade arm to articulate every swipe. A worn-out blade not only loses its sharp, rain-squeegeeing edge, it gets hard and won't sweep the glass properly. Conventional blades have multiple joints between the superstructure and the wiping element that can corrode and freeze, further restricting mobility, and leaving you with streaks.
The most sure-fire cure is a blade replacement, and it's the simplest one, too. TRICO® blades are easy to install and fit your arms in exactly the same fashion as the OEM blades.
A collision on a rainy night in 1917 between a National Roadster and a bicycle (which fortunately didn't injure either the cyclist or the Roadster) spawned an industry. Soon, the Tri-Continental Corporation introduced the first commercial windshield wiper. TRICO®, now a subsidiary of cooling system giant Stant, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of windshield wiper blades, wiper systems and refills, with a large portion of both the aftermarket and OEM business.

One-time Senate candidate Mike Miles feeling heat in Dallas as superintendent
Mike Miles, the one-time Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Colorado, is not having a good run in Dallas, where he is school superintendent.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Miles' family is moving back to Colorado because negative press about his administration has become too much to handle. He is the focus of an investigation, had his home picketed and has been targeted for firing after only a year in office.
Miles was superintendent of Harrison School District south of Colorado Springs for six years, implementing a controversial pay-for-performance salary structure for teachers.
He became a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2004 and was chosen to be the party's candidate at the state nominating convention. But the powerful national Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee instead pushed former state Attorney General Ken Salazar to be the party's nominee. Salazar soundly beat Miles in the primary, garnering 173,167 votes (73 percent) to Miles' 63,973 (27 percent) and went on to beat Republican candidate Pete Coors for the seat.
Miles, a West Point graduate, was appointed superintendent of Dallas Independent School District in April 2012 and almost immediately faced heat.

MASSILLON, OH (WOIO) - Police say a total of 38 student athletes have now been id'd in the secret videos recorded in the Jackson High School boys locker room.
Former freshman basketball coach and building aid Scott Studer was arrested Wednesday. Police say Studer hid the cameras in the locker room and filmed the boys while they were in the shower. Parents say Studer mandated the showers and participated in them.
Studer,46, pled not guilty at his arraignment Thursday and is being held on a $2 million dollar bond.
For 25 years, Jackson Township parents trusted Coach Studer, but police say he abused that trust and victimized countless boys.
"At the basketball banquet every year he'd break down and cry about his commitment to these kids. Little did we know he was video taping them," said Jon DuPont, concerned parent and Jackson Youth Basketball Association Commissioner.
"These images to our knowledge at this point were not shared with others," said Jackson Police Chief Dave Zink.
Jackson PD says the secret periodic recordings went on for eight years, but some wonder if it goes even deeper.
"He had parties at his house. He had sleepovers on numerous occasions," said DuPont.
"You always think, there's something not right here" said Deb Cahoon.
On top of already feeling violated and betrayed, Jackson parents and players are bothered that the information first came to them through the media and not from the school.
"I was upset we weren't contacted by an administrator. My son is terribly upset. He's on the ninth grade team now," said parent Sylvera Greene.
Coach Studer has already resigned, and is facing eight state charges. He'll likely face federal charges. Now, the police department must sift through all the evidence gathered from his house to identify victims.

Trail closed at Chimney Rock
Due to storm damage Nov. 14, the Hickory Nut Falls trail at Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park has been closed to the public until repairs can be made.
The overnight rainstorm brought down several trees and boulders, causing extensive damage to the footbridge and blocking access on the trail to the 404foot waterfall. As a result, the park's winter admission rates of $10 adult and $6 youth (ages 6-15) will go into effect immediately. There are no discounts available with this winter rate.
Park officials are currently assessing the damage on the trail. Due to the extent of the damage, the trail could be closed for a couple months while repairs are made. The 404-foot waterfall is one of the highest waterfalls of its kind east of the Mississippi River and was featured in the blockbuster movie "The Last of the Mohicans."
Chimney Rock's family guided hikes set from 11 a.m. to noon Nov. 23-24, a special offering for Thanksgiving visitors, will be moved from the closed Hickory Nut Falls trail to the Great Woodland Adventure trail on the Meadows. Hikes are limited to the first 25 people who sign up in the park.
After the hike, join one of the park naturalists to meet some of Chimney Rock's resident non-releasable critters at 2 p.m. in the classroom on the Meadows. The trail closure will not affect the park's annual Santa on the Chimney event set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 8.
For more information on how the trail closure impacts park visitation and events, visit chimneyrockpark.
