Taste changes and chemotherapy and radiation treatment
This section provides information on taste changes and how to cope with them during cancer treatment.
Several cancer treatments (some chemotherapy drugs or radiation to your mouth, nose or throat) can change how food tastes. Many people find they have a metallic taste, and food may taste bitter or salty. Some people find their food all tastes the same.
Usually, your sense of taste begins to come back to normal within a few weeks of finishing chemotherapy. Radiation treatment can cause a loss of taste for longer. The taste buds need time to recover from radiation damage. This usually improves slowly although it can take many months or longer for your sense of taste to return. If you have had any treatment that affects your sense of smell, this will also affect your sense of taste.
Tips for coping with taste changes
- If all your food tastes the same, try foods that have strong flavours such as salamis, olives, anchovies, smoked foods, strong cheeses, or curries.
- Try adding garlic, lemon juice, herbs and spices to food. However, it's best to avoid spicy foods if you have a sore mouth, mouth ulcers or thrush.
- Make a marinade with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and some herbs or spices—add some lemon juice or soy sauce if you like. Marinate food overnight to develop the flavour.
- A dry mixture of spices and herbs can be rubbed onto uncooked meat or fish to add flavour.
- People often find their mouth feels very dry when having treatment. Gravies and sauces can help add moisture and flavour to your food.
- Sugar-free sweets or chewing gum may help reduce a bad taste in your mouth.
- Avoid foods that taste strange to you, but try them again every few weeks as your taste may have improved.
- You may find you link certain foods or drinks with treatment. You may prefer to avoid your favourite foods until you've finished your course of treatment so you don't go off them for good.
- Many people say they can't stand the smell of food preparation or cooking. Grilling rather than frying food may help. Try cooking outside on a BBQ to keep cooking smells out of the house. Cold or room temperature foods may be more appealing.
- Family or friends may offer to cook food which you can freeze in portion sizes to defrost and heat in your microwave.
- Try using plastic utensils and glass cookware to lessen a metallic taste.
- Good mouth care is always important when you are having cancer treatment—follow the advice of your cancer doctor and nurses and see the information sheet "Coping with sore mouth, dry mouth and mouth infections".
- For more ideas, talk to your cancer nurse or dietitian. The Cancer Society booklets Eating Well/Kia Pai te Kai and Got Water? also have useful information. You can view these on our website.
This information was written in October 2011 by the Cancer Society. It is reviewed every three years.

I have a small entry way with wooden siding by my front door. It's not in great condition from the previous owners and I was hoping there would be a way to restore or just make it look better. Could it be sanded/refinished? Or does is there something else I should do? I'd be willing to stain it a darker brown if that would help hide some of the wear and tear.

OAKLAND — Hoover Elementary School was placed on a brief lockdown Friday morning as police investigated a caller's claim that a shooting was imminent on the campus.
The threat came in about 8:47 a.m. from a male caller, prompting Oakland police to join Oakland Unified School District police at the school. Officers swept and surrounded the campus, but did not find any suspect.
The lockdown was cleared about 9:20 a.m., and there were no reports of any gunfire or injuries, according to Troy Flint, spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District. Police remained at the school as a precaution.
The school, located at 890 Brockhurst Street, just east of Market Street and south of Interstate 580, has about 300 students, Flint said.
Police received another call just after 9 a.m. threatening violence at Oakland Technical High School, at 45th Street and Broadway. Officers investigated but did not find anything suspicious, and the school was not placed on lockdown.

Preds Select Kevin Fiala in 1st Round
PHILADELPHIA – With the 11th selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the Nashville Predators selected forward Kevin Fiala on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. A Switzerland native who split the 2013-14 between HV71's junior and Swedish Hockey League teams, Fiala is known as a dynamic offensive forward with game-breaking potential.
A respectable and shifty skater with quick legs and explosive acceleration, Fiala owns a slick skill-set with soft hands, good stick handling and brilliant puck-control. In addition to his wealthy arsenal of shooting tools which, combined with his creativity and finishing abilities, makes him the player you turn to if you need a goal, he has a quickness and agility that lets him avoid getting hit or held back along the boards.
Fiala, (7/22/96), was a finalist for the 2014 SHL Rookie of the Year Award after tying for the lead in points among all under-18 players in Sweden's highest league with 11 (3g-8a) in 17 games for HV71. The 5-10, 180-pound winger started the 2013-14 season with the HV71 junior squad, ranking among the league leaders in goals (10), assists (15) and points (25) in 27 games before his January promotion. Fiala spent his first season in Sweden in 2012-13 with the Malmo organization, posting 10 points (6g-4a) in nine games at the under-18 level and 28 points (9g-19a) in 33 games at the junior level.
"It was an easy decision to move to Sweden and play there," Fiala said. "I thought I could improve my game and I have improved there in my two years. Everyone believed in me and I played on the A-team [HV71] right after the Under-20 World Championship."
Internationally, the St. Gallen, Switzerland native represented his homeland at the World Junior Championship in Sweden, the Under-18 World Championship in Finland and the World Championship in Belarus in 2014, becoming just the third player ever to participate in all three tournaments in the same year (Andrei Kostitsyn and Vadim Karagan, Belarus in 2003). Fiala led the Swiss in points at both the under-18 tournament (4g-5a-9pts, 5gp), being named was named one of the nation's three best players in the process, and World Juniors (1g-4a-5pts, 5gp) as the team's youngest member. At 17, he was the youngest member of Switzerland's entry at the World Championship by three years, posting three assists and a team-best +3 rating playing alongside Predators defenseman Roman Josi and forward Simon Moser.
Rounds 2-7 of the Entry Draft continue Sunday morning at 9 a.m. CT with the Predators holding seven more selections: Nos. 42 and 46 (second round), No. 72 (third round), Nos. 102 and 112 (fourth round), No. 132 (fifth round) and No. 162 (sixth round).
Director of European Scouting, Goran Stubb: "He impressed with his explosive skating, great puck-handling skills and overall quickness and speed. He has great offensive instincts and is full of surprises in the offensive zone. He just needs a bit more muscle and strength and some work in his defensive zone."
Red Line Report's Kyle Woodlief: "The one true high-end prospect who did more than just solidify his ranking was super-slick Swiss puck wizard Kevin Fiala. He had been hanging around the mid-to-late teens area of our list much of the season, primarily because of his middling size. But in Finland (at the Under-18 World Championship) he once again reminded us of just how dynamic he can be, and we're now inclined to overlook the size issue and push him up near Top 10 status."
TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button: "Fiala's skills are very good but when you combine them with excellent determination, you get a player who can make a difference. He plays where it matters."
ESPN Insider's Corey Pronman: "The next great Swiss prospect, Fiala really started to turn heads from about December on. He had a strong World Junior Championship and under-18 World Championship, started playing top-six minutes in the SHL, putting up a ton of points in the process. In terms of points per game, he had the second-highest rate in the SHL among under-18 players in modern history, behind Peter Forsberg. He can make highlight-reel plays with the puck, and he's also a really good passer with great hockey IQ, and doesn't seem to turn the puck over. On the power play, Fiala is the kind of player you want controlling the puck and starting the puck movement."

Pewter bleeding bowl, Europe, 1701-1900
Balance and equilibrium in the body is important for many medical traditions. Each tradition understands this balance differently. The idea of the humours emerged in Greece around the 500s or 400s BCE. Humoral medicine is based on the idea that every individual has his or her own temperament, or mixture of humours. Illness occurs when these humours are out of balance because of diet, lifestyle or environment.
Some people believe Greek medicine influenced the Ayurvedic doshas: vata, pitta and kapha. The Chinese Wu Xing, or five elements, shares ideas about balance with humoral thinking. However, there is no direct proof that the Greek system directly influenced the others.
Where did the humours come from?
In Greek medicine, the word 'humour' could be used for any fluid. So plants and animals, as well as people, have humours. Other humours emerged only in illness, such as mucus and diarrhoea. These seemed to disappear when the patient was well again, providing evidence that imbalanced or excessive humours cause illness.
There was much discussion about which humours existed in the body. The idea of the humours was used in Hippocratic medicine. However, it was Galen who established the four humours as blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. Each humour had its own characteristics:
- Blood was the humour of spring, passion, air and childhood
- Yellow bile belonged to summer, anger, fire and youth
- Black bile was linked to a sluggish personality, autumn, earth and adulthood
- Phlegm was associated with winter, melancholy, water and old age.
The humours had so many characteristics that they became useful for explaining many aspects of daily life. Humoral thinking was linked to astrology, physiognomy and even music.
The spread of humoral thinking
Using humours for medical diagnosis and treatment spread across the Roman and Islamic Empires. In Islamic and European medicine, humours were key to understanding health and balance. Galen's theories were central to European medicine until biomedicine dominated in the 1800s. Unani Tibb still uses humours as the basis for diagnosis and treatment because it is based on Ibn Sina's interpretation and development of Galen's ideas.
Treating patients
The doctor determined which humour was out of balance in the body, and corrected this - often with emetics, blood-letting or massage. Doctors also provided advice on diet, exercise and lifestyle. Blood-letting was a major technique in humoral medicine in Europe. It was thought to allow the release of excessive humours. In Unani Tibb the emphasis is on gentle treatments helping the body balance its humours.
The persistence of humoral thinking
The humours are not part of contemporary biomedicine. However, they still influence the way many people understand everyday illnesses. Folk knowledge often links colds and flu with the weather, with something the individual has done or eaten, or with environmental factors such as draughts. Each explanation is humoral.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Tevin Washington came very close to leading Georgia Tech to a dramatic comeback.
And when Cody Journell's field goal to end regulation and another in overtime gave No. 16 Virginia Tech a 20-17 victory, Washington knew how close the Yellow Jackets came to the upset.
"It was like an Ali-Frazier fight," he said. "We kind of got it together in the second half and started moving the ball. We were one play here and there from just busting the game open."
That might be a bit optimistic considering the Yellow Jackets' triple option managed 288 yards, but they almost pulled a stunning upset thanks to their quarterback, whose reputation has been mostly built as a runner, but who was pretty strong with his arm when his team needed him.
Washington hit Deon Hill with a 10-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds left in regulation, stunning the sellout crowd.
Four plays earlier, he'd been flushed from the pocket on a fourth-and-6 play from the Hokies 37, and after eluding a pass rusher, he found B.J. Bostic with three defenders around him for a 19-yard gain on the right sideline to keep the drive alive.
"He made some great plays on the last drive in regulation," Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson, who is 1-4 against the Hokies, said of his QB.
But he also made one that cost the Yellow Jackets the game.
Georgia Tech got the ball first in overtime, but Washington threw the ball away under pressure on third down and was intercepted by Kyle Fuller.
When Michael Holmes ran for 6 and then 18 yards on Virginia Tech's first two plays in the extra period, all that was left was to make sure they set the ball up in the middle of the field for Journell to knock it through. His 17-yard field goal won it 20-17.
"We kind of gift-wrapped it for them in overtime," Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said of the game's only turnover.
The Hokies, who had gone ahead 14-10 on Thomas' 42-yard scoring pass to Demitri Knowles with 7:46 to play, got the ball back after Washington's touchdown pass and drove to the Yellow Jackets 24 with 6 seconds remaining.
Georgia Tech used a timeout to try to ice Journell, but his kick went through the uprights to tie it at 17.
Fans, most of whom came clad in orange, didn't even wait for the officials to signal the kick good, but took their cues from the reactions of those with a better view and were already celebrating having scored more points in the last 7:46 than the first 52:14.
Before the offensive flurry in the fourth quarter, the game was a punting contest that turned on a punt that went awry.
Georgia Tech had managed just two first downs when Hokies freshman punter A.J. Hughes set them up with a mistake.
Dropped back in punt formation near midfield, he let a snap go through his hands and scrambled to fall on it for a 22-yard loss.
That put the Yellow Jackets at the Hokies 24, and three runs tied it. On the 12-yard touchdown, Robert Godhigh went wide around the left side, dodged defenders, broke several tackles and scored easily, making it 7-7.
The mistake seemed to knock the Hokies off their stride, and neither team threatened the rest of the half.
The Yellow Jackets finally started moving the ball and went ahead 10-7 on a 34-yard field goal by David Scully to start the fourth quarter.
The score came after a 15-play, 56-yard drive that not only took 7:18 off the clock, but included three short third-down conversions and left the Hokies defenders looking as if the high humidity was finally starting to wear them down.
After falling behind, Thomas and the offense finally gave the defense a break, driving from their 23 to the Yellow Jackets 21 in 11 plays, but Journell missed from 38 yards.
The rested Hokies didn't let it keep them down long, holding the Yellow Jackets and forcing a punt.
This time, Thomas worked quickly. He hit Marcus Davis for 35 yards on second down, and when Davis fumbled the ball at the end of the run, Corey Fuller recovered at the Yellow Jackets 42.
On the next play, Thomas hit speedy wide receiver Demitri Knowles for the touchdown in the right corner, his first career reception.
Knowles beat Rod Sweeting, who also was called for pass interference on the play.

Best New Tech: Tobii Technology Gaze UI
Forget the mouse. Tobii Technology's Gaze UI eye-tracking technology detects exactly where you're looking and treats it like the pointer on your display. We tried it out on a Windows 8 system, and, after fixing our gaze at any point on the spacious Metro live tiles, we launched apps. We could also sweep the screen to the left or right, or zoom using a combination of eye movements and touch gestures. We were even able to play a simple game of "Asteroids," zapping flying space rocks just by looking at them. Though still a few years away from mainstream implementation, it's one of the thrilling innovation that leaves us wanting more.

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about…..more fabulous grand openings! This week, I was so excited to be a guest at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the brand new Walgreens at the corner of State and Randolph in Chicago. Visiting the city always makes me wax nostalgic; I am a city girl after all. When I was a kid, we would take the Red-line downtown to shop on State Street. It really is a great street. There was Marshall Fields, Carson Pirie Scott, Charles A. Stevens and Walgreens.
At three in the afternoon, I joined my fellow bloggers from Collective Bias for a guided tour. While Walgreens can always be counted on for a fine shopping experience, this new store really is fantastic. Walking in the door was like a wonderland! Who would ever expect to find a fresh sushi bar at Walgreens, but there it was. Beautiful seafood, rice and vegetables wrapped in seaweed; all prepared for the shopper on the go. The selection of upscale delicacies was plentiful; wraps and sandwiches, salads and desserts. The red velvet cake looked absolutely Heavenly!
There was a juice bar, over flowing with fresh fruits and vegetables. For those of us chocoholics, Walgreens was kind enough to bring back the original chocolate malt that they served at their soda fountain at the turn of the century. There's just something special about tradition.
The fun continued at the frozen yogurt bar, with all of the toppings, and of course at the coffee bar. One of the things I really loved was the inclusion of Chicago vendors like Eli's Cheesecake. Walgreens even teamed up with a local coffee maker to develop a custom coffee blend called State & Randolph.
However, my favorite feature was the wine and spirits shop. In particular, the virtual bartender concierge was extremely entertaining. All you have to do is punch in the flavors you have a hankering for, and out spits the recipe. How cool is that? They even had a generous selection of cheeses and sausages, which would be perfect to snag on your way home from work or as you head over to enjoy a concert in Millennium Park.
The best part of the night was yet to come. While we were touring the pharmacy department, we met the delightful twin sisters, Iris and Frances, from the Walgreens flu shot commercials. They were adorable! We met the beautiful Gabrielle Union, but my Amanda was much more impressed with the real life Red M&M. My evening was complete with my brush with greatness. As Mayor Rahm Emanuel was shaking hands, meeting and greeting, he paused, turned to me and said, "Nice necklace." First Donny Osmond, now Mayor Emmanuel. I should play the lottery.

Hawkins teaches, learns lessons coaching in Brazil
41-year-old Rockies closer guides pitchers at MLB International Elite Camp
DENVER -- Right-hander LaTroy Hawkins, at 41, will keep his career in the present tense with the Rockies as the team's new closer this season. But recently, he was contributing to baseball's international future.
Hawkins served as lead pitching instructor for the recently concluded MLB International Elite Camp in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Hall of Famer Barry Larkin led the camp, which was a competitive gathering of Brazil's best 14- to 18-year-old players, with a few players from Argentina and Peru participating. Additionally, members of the Brazil team Larkin coached, which upset Panama, 1-0, in the qualifying round to earn a trip to the 2013 World Baseball Classic, trained alongside the prospects at the Confederation of Brazilian Baseball & Softball training grounds.
The prospects erased a six-run deficit to tie a Brazilian university all-star squad, 7-7, despite using a catcher who was 13 going on 14.
Hawkins urged Major League teams to increase their scouting efforts in Brazil, and said he looked at his work at the camp as preparation for what he hopes is a post-playing career in a front office.
Hawkins also wished American players could learn from the work ethic of the young Brazilians, who don't have the finances and opportunities that are available in the U.S.
Hawkins was the only active Major Leaguer on Larkin's staff. Other instructors were two-time All-Star, and former Rockies player, Steve Finley, plus former Royals catcher Dusty Wathan, former Reds first baseman Stephen Larkin (Barry Larkin's brother) and the MLB Scouting Bureau's Mike Larson.
"I'm thinking more on the GM side, and I'd look at this type of international coaching but not in the U.S.," said Hawkins, who returned to the U.S. on Sunday night. "Their kids [in Brazil] are so much more appreciative than our kids -- and I'm not just talking about everyone else's kids, but my kids, also. It was a great experience. I got to see the team from a whole different perspective.
"I gained a lot of knowledge, just from how the coaches look at the game, how a general manager looks at the game, how Mr. Larson from the MLB Scouting Bureau sees the game, and he was in charge of the scouts. I listened to Barry and how he coached the game, and it was amazing."
MLB International has conducted Elite Camps in Canada, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Europe and South Africa since 1999, and hosted top players at their three MLB International Academies -- Australia, China and Italy. More than 350 former camp participants have signed with Major League teams.

Agriculture is the one sector where the Raul Castro government has put forward a comprehensive reform: increased prices paid to producers, distribution of idle state lands to private farmers, changes in the distribution system, and a restructuring of the bureaucracy to decentralize decisionmaking.
There have been many reports (mine is here) on the first two tasks, which are clearly proceeding. As for the others, the picture isn't so clear.
A long article in yesterday's Juventud Rebelde reports that the state has given parcels of idle land to 56,000 applicants, 80 percent of which had no land before.
That's the good part.
The rest of the story, Juventud Rebelde's reporters found, is that the new farmers don't always have what they need to produce.
The new farmers are eager to work their land and have knocked themselves out clearing it of weeds and brush, the report says. But it found cases where they don't have the tools they need, they can't get wire to fence off their land to prevent grazing, or they can't acquire fuel even after arranging for a tractor to come work their land.
One farmer wishes that officials would visit for some reason other than "to ask when I'm going to deliver" product to market.
The report recounts that in Ciego de Avila, a bumper crop of tomatoes couldn't be handled by the state enterprise that should buy them because, according to a local, "the industry was saturated [with supply] and Acopio [the enterprise] doesn't have vehicles" to collect the crop.
An analyst cited in the article summed up that the new farmers are "beginning to be part of a large system, Cuban agriculture, and it is a chain with many rusty links that do not always connect well."
The anecdotes in the article call out for a simple solution: credits to allow individual farmers to buy supplies, fuel, and labor, and to pay back at harvest time. It's a solution, the report says, that many farmers are suggesting.
Credits might not solve all supply problems in a system where the state alone imports and retails farm supplies, but they would certainly help. The article doesn't include any comments or interviews on the credit question or other policy issues.
And unlike other economic challenges, such as finding offshore oil or boosting tourism, the decisions on agriculture are entirely in Cuban hands.

Firstly,Europe Union has strong power to influence the world affairs,the states has been inpacted by Europe countries especially by the Britain for long time .the ancestors of most Americans came from Europe,so if the states wants to dominate the world ,she must persuade EU to agree with,I 'm sure it is a very hard work to do.It is possible that the EU can not agree that the states will lead the world after ten years from now on.We can not deny that EU and the states have many common intersts and values,but once they confront with each other in businesses,they will become two different power groups which each group gains its own economic benefits . Secondly,there are still other world players in the world ,for example,Rusia ,China,Idian ,etc.They want the world to be multi-powers.They don't want that the world will be controlled by the states in the future.If the state really wants to domanite the world ,perhaps the world will unite to confront with the states,I don't hope this situation will occur. Thirdly,I think that many Americans themselves don't want to lead the world,they only want to manage well their own country.Undoubtfully the states is leading the world in economy and military power,but it doesn't mean the world will controlled by the states,the United states still needs ally to support its proposals in the UN. Fourthly,the Earth is going round and round,the world is changing every decade,so no one is sure what the world will happen in the next ten years. God blesses the world!

Yesterday, and kiter was very badly hurt at sandbanks, poole. the shame of it is, is that its the second accident in two weeks
The guy in question had launched his Neo straight down wind on a day when the wind was gusting up to 30 knots.
It was down to pilot error, both myself and an instuctor on the beach tried to get to him before he was lofted across the road and into the buildings on the other side of the road.
while we tried to get to his safety (I still cann't understand WHY he didn't pull it?) a gust hit and flung him into a parked car around 20 feet away.
His life was saved by his helmet, but the force of the impact means he may never walk again.
All of this happen as a result of pilot error, and trying to save his kite.
I hope that his recovery is in some way quick and my thoughts are with his family

One of my favorite repurposed baskets was this old bicycle basket. I sold it a few months ago, and would love to find another like it.
Farmhouse Friday – Baskets and Bins
Lots of eye candy and inspiration in this post, Angie! I just happen to have a single sewing machine leg…love your idea!
Lots of inspiration here.
Every time I walk into Homegoods I go straight for the storage department. I love your inspiration pictures.
Always love seeing what you do with all the beautiful vintage items. I read all of your posts and love your blog, I just usually don't comment but wanted to let you know your blog and work is wonderful! Have been praying for your dad and hope he is feeling much better now.
Many Blessings to you, Candy
I have always been in awe of the way you make something so functional and beautiful out of old baking pans…what a great addition to any room for storage that is also aesthetically pleasing!
I wish that I had the old galvanized tub my mother used for washing…or the old galvanized pails we had…now they seem to be very hard to find and, when you do find them, they cost a pretty penny. I guess, in a way, that is good news because it just goes to show that old, galvanized, metal articles are receiving the attention they so richly deserve. Gosh, I just LOVE the look of the strong metal holding the soft blankets…what great texture that would add to a room! Thank you sooooooooo very much for yet another Farmhouse Friday!
Love all these ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Angie, Where can I find a nesting box like the one you have on your blog?
Where can I get the large wall pocket basket in photo five? Been looking bit no luck. Thx!
Hi Angie,
If I am not mistaken that basket is from World War II and held artillery shells that fit perfectly inside and that is why it has handles.
Do you have any idea where this pine cabinet came from?
Please tell me where to find a basket like the one above the wood cabinet.
Nice article and photos. I love the use of baskets to create a country feel. The french country sideboard is beautiful in your feature as well. So pretty kept in its natural wood state. Thanks for posting.

The latest USL-1 games also saw a couple of streaks come to an end, with Carolina RailHawks suffering their first defeat of the season away to Southern Derby rivals Atlanta Silverbacks, while Rochester Rhinos finally got in the win column after claiming three points at home to Portland Timbers. The action started last Wednesday, with the Whitecaps getting goals from Jason Jordan and substitute Nicholas Addlery in a fine 2-0 away victory over former USL-1 leaders Charleston Battery. Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, had a poor start to their eastern road trip, as an unfortunate own-goal by Noah Merl gave Carolina a 2-1 home victory. Montreal Impact's woes in front of goal continued on Friday night, as Nick De Santis' side fell 1-0 to Portland at Saputo Stadium. Chris Brown's strike just before halftime meant the Impact have gone five games in both USL-1 and Nutrilite Canadian Championship action without finding the back of the net. In Puerto Rico, the Islanders had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Seattle after Taylor Graham cancelled out Taiwo Atieno's first-half strike. Saturday saw the RailHawks' unbeaten run end at seven games, as Macoumba Kandji's deflected free kick strike gave Atlanta three valuable Southern Derby Cup points in a 1-0 home result. In Minnesota, an hour-long tornado delay did not stop the Whitecaps from claiming a third straight win on the road and moving to the summit of USL-1 after a 1-0 win over the Thunder. Defeat for Minnesota was their first at home this season. On Sunday, Rochester gave Darren Tilley his first win as a professional club head coach, as goals by Matthew Delicate and Johnny Menyongar gave the Rhinos a 2-1 home win over Portland. Down in south Florida, meanwhile, Seattle's difficult road trip ended in another stalemate for the defending USL-1 champions, as the ten-man Sounders drew 0-0 with hosts Miami FC Blues.

Let's be honest: if you're reading this article, you're either a close friend of mine or you get slightly turned on by these four words: Pitchers and catchers report.
Perhaps baseball, more than any other sport, allows fan bases all over North America to look forward to the next season and think that this could be our year.
Think about it for a second.
In the NBA, it's basically LeBron and everybody else. If you don't have a stable of genuine stars, you're basically playing for a second-round exit from the playoffs.
In the NFL, there are typically a few "surprise" teams. But in the end, the Super Bowl often comes down to teams that have already been there or teams that were previously on the cusp of greatness. Even this year, the Super Bowl pitted the two teams who lost in their conference championship games the year before.
In the NHL…who knows? I hate hockey.
But baseball? Baseball has teams that stay consistently dominant, teams that slowly build through the minors and eventually reach their greatness, and teams that seem to turn it all around in a few short months. Going into a new season, everyone has a shot.
Well, everyone except Houston.
This brings me to the topic of this article: the National League Central Division.
2013 will be the first season with Houston-less NL Central. With their move to the American League, Houston has opened up a spot in the cellar of the division. To figure out who will claim their rightful position in the division's basement, I thought I'd take a look at the four remaining non-Milwaukee teams in the NL Central.
I'll take a look at the teams in the order I believe they will finish in the division standings, going from worst to first. My Brewers preview will be coming in the next few weeks. After all, I want to wait until I have an idea of who might be playing first on Opening Day.
So without further ado, let's get started!
(All stats courtesy of Fangraphs)
Chicago Cubs
2012 Record: 61-101
2012 Division Finish: 5th
Before I start, let me make one thing clear: I think Theo Epstein is doing a pretty impressive job in turning around the Cubbies. Perhaps the most intelligent thing he is doing is avoiding knee-jerk reactions, passing up opportunities to make pointless signings simply to make a splash. Instead, he seems to be focusing on slowly building up the organization's farm system while also waiting for those albatross contracts to finally come off the books.That's the good news for Cubs fans. The bad news? They still have to play the 2013 season, and this time they don't have Houston as a cellar-buffer.
At this point, I think the Cubs have gotten used to bad news during the season. They didn't even have to wait for Spring Training games to start for their first bit of bad news this year, with reports of Matt Garza's strained lat coming in recent days. Garza's health may be the most important item to focus on in Chicago this season. It's not that Garza could help Chicago contend; they might not truly contend until 2015. With Garza, the Cubs own one of the most intriguing trade chips in all of baseball. If Garza is healthy, Epstein could use him to drive a mid-season trade that could bring more young talent to Wrigley, much like how the Brewers were able to get Jean Segura in exchange for Zack Greinke, a player who seemed to already have his bags packed. If Garza is not healthy, the Cubs simply have a player of little-to-no value.
The rest of the Chicago rotation lacks the punch needed to survive an NL Central that features three rather dangerous lineups. Jeff Samardzija was one of the more pleasant surprises for the Cubs last season, proving to be a more-than-capable starter. While I don't think he will duplicate his 2012 numbers (9.27 K/9, 2.89 BB/9, 3.38 xFIP), I do think he'll continue to be a reliable starter who gives Cub fans a reason to hope.
The lineup for the Cubs looks pretty similar to the 2012 version that finished with 101 losses. Anthony Rizzo had a nice debut with the Cubs last season, producing a .285/.342/.463 line in 87 games with the big-league club. As far as additions go, Ian Stewart will be a new face at third, Nate Schierholtz will line up in the outfield, and Wilington Castillo looks to be in line to replace Geovany Soto behind the plate. While none of those names are going to sell any tickets outside of their immediate families, they do prove my earlier point that Epstein is taking the slow and steady approach, which should help Chicago in the long run.
But that doesn't mean they won't struggle mightily this year. It looks to be another brutal year for the Cubbies.
Predicted 2013 Record: 65-97

Pittsburgh Pirates
2012 Record: 79-83
2012 Division Finish: 4th
For two years now, the Pirates have taunted their fans with flashes of improvement, even hinting at genuine contention, only to crush their fan base with massive second-half collapses. I do have some good news for any Pirates fans reading this article:
There will be no second-half collapse.
However, I only say this because I don't see the Pirates having the hot start they had in each of the last two seasons.
The Pirates' rotation appears to be one of the few non-Andrew McCutchen bright spots for Pittsburgh. A.J. Burnett appears to have found a comfort zone in Pittsburgh, providing the Pirates with a very respectable arm at the top of their rotation. Wandy Rodriguez is a recognizable name in the #2 slot, but last year was a substantial step back for the former Astro. He saw his K/9 dip to 6.08 while producing a 4.09 xFIP. James McDonald surprised some people last year by proving to be a capable and relatively consistent starter. After that, the Pirates have Jeff Karstens, Kyle McPherson, and Francisco Liriano fighting for two rotation spots. I personally think Liriano is a name-only pitcher at this point, a guy who can provide a gem for five innings and then disappear for two months. Too much inconsistency for my taste.
The lineup? Well, there's superstar Andrew McCutchen, one of the four or five best players in baseball today. After that? Starling Marte has potential to be an above-average regular in their lineup. Russell Martin provides an offensive upgrade from Rod Barajas at catcher, but that's not saying a whole lot. The addition of Travis Snider could prove to be a pleasant surprise for the Pirates; I've always thought he could be a good player if he was given a real shot, which he should get in Pittsburgh.
In the end, Pirates fans will be in for yet another losing season in 2013. There is some help on the way in the farm system, but bringing up any of their really valuable prospects this season would only be rushing them. For now, enjoy that beautiful stadium and the joy that is watching Andrew McCutchen on a nightly basis.
Predicted 2013 Record: 75-87
Predicted 2013 Division Finish: 4th
Cincinnati Reds
2012 Record: 97-65
2012 Division Finish: 1st
The aspect of the Reds that makes them a really dangerous team is that they really don't have a glaring weakness in their lineup. By adding Shin-Soo Choo in their trade with Cleveland, the Reds added a legitimate top-of-the-order bat. Choo is followed by Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, Ryan Ludwick, and Jay Bruce. By the time you are to #6-hitter Todd Frazier, you may already be making a visit to the mound. A team is rarely going to stop the Reds from scoring; instead, teams are going to need to spray hits to the outfield, where Cincinnati does appear to have a less-than-stellar defensive outfield, lacking a true centerfielder with the departure of Drew Stubbs.
As far as pitching goes, the Reds have a couple of strong arms at the top of their rotation. Johnny Cueto and Mat Latos give the Reds one of the more imposing 1-2 punches in baseball. Bronson Arroyo is what he is at this point; an innings eater who will sport a mid-4.00 ERA. Homer Bailey doesn't do much for me, but he's proven to be reliable over the last few seasons. The arrival of Aroldis Chapman in the rotation is the real wild card here. If he can successfully convert to full-time starter, the Reds could end up walking away with the division. If he struggles, which I think he will, the Reds will not only have a question mark in the rotation; they will also have to fill the gap that Chapman created in their bullpen. Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I've seen too many examples of lights-out bullpen arms struggle in their transition to a larger workload in the regular rotation.
As I stated at the beginning of this section, I am torn between picking the Reds and the Cardinals. Cincinnati has such a dangerous lineup and some starting pitching to back it up, and I'm not even looking at their potential mid-season call-ups, such as speedster Billy Hamilton. Still, I just feel like St. Louis will figure out a way to steal the division from the Reds. However, I still see the Reds getting into the playoffs and making some noise in October.
Predicted 2013 Record: 94-68
Predicted Division Finish: 2nd
St. Louis Cardinals
2012 Record: 88-74
2012 Division Finish: 2nd
This is painful for me to write. If you know me, you know that I hate the Cardinals. I hated Tony LaRussa. I hate Chris Carpenter. I really hate Yadier Molina.
But even with all of that hatred, I can't help but think that the Cardinals are the best team in the NL Central, and they will win the division in 2013.
First, let's look at reasons why the Cardinals could finish behind the Reds at the end of the season. Chris Carpenter's season-ending (and possibly career-ending) injury has to be at the top of the list. I can't say I was saddened upon hearing this news. I don't care if that makes me a bad person. I already stated that I hate Carpenter. This injury is definitely a blow to the Cardinals this season and beyond. But keep in mind, Carpenter missed almost all of last season as well. Quite frankly, the Cardinals have gotten used to not having a pitching staff at full-strength over the last few seasons. The Cardinals rotation also got a bit weaker after losing Kyle Lohse to free agency in the offseason. At least, it appears that they got weaker on the surface. The fact of the matter is that Lohse is still a free agent. I've never been a big fan of him, and apparently all of the teams in Major League Baseball share that feeling, at least at whatever his asking price is.
Now on to the good news. Last time I checked, Adam Wainwright is still at the top of the rotation, and he remains one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. His curveball still makes hitters look foolish quite frequently. Jaime Garcia has elite stuff but durability issues. When those issues arose last season, Joe Kelly stepped in proved to be a very useful arm. Lance Lynn's transition to the starting rotation worked out quite well. And 2-13 will mark the first full-season look at top-prospect Shelby Miller. Even without Carpenter and Lohse, that is still a very strong rotation.I believe the Cardinals also improved their lineup in the offseason, if only by moving on from Lance Berkman, who came back down to earth in 2012 (.259/.381/.444) after a very impressive 2011 (.301/.412/.547). Rafael Furcal enters the final year of his contract, which is good for two reasons for St. Louis. First, we all know how players seem to step up their game in contract years. Second, it means they can move on from the aging Furcal after 2013. Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday, and the previously mentioned Molina provide a dangerous middle of the order for the Cardinals. Allen Craig had an abbreviated coming-out party last year, putting up impressive numbers in 119 games, including 22 homeruns and 35 doubles. If he can stay healthy all season, that makes a dangerous 2-6 in the lineup, and then David Freese comes to the plate. Much like the Reds, this St. Louis lineup just doesn't give you a chance to catch your breath.
In the end, I think St. Louis's deeper rotation, superior farm system, and better game management will lead them to the division title in 2013. In a race this close, a mid-season trade or call-up could prove to be the difference, but as it stands now, I think St. Louis will be finishing on top.

Parts of Scotland could be basking in unseasonably warm weather as a mini heatwave is forecast to hit the country this week.
Temperatures are predicted to soar four or five degrees above the seasonal average, reaching 23C in some areas.
The north and east are likely to see the best of the fine weather, which is expected to last until the weekend.
Tuesday looks set to be the hottest day of the week, possibly hitting 23C in the east.
Met Office forecaster Ian Robinson said: Tuesday will start off cloudy, with a possibility of showers across the south and west, but it is expected to clear up as the morning goes on.
"The best of the sunshine through the day will be across Aberdeenshire, Angus and perhaps down into Fife. Aberdeenshire could see temperatures of 22C, perhaps even 23C.
"There will be a south-westerly breeze, but nothing particularly strong, which is why eastern parts are faring better than the west."
Conditions across Scotland will be fairly humid for most of the week, with some regions seeing patchy rain. Heavier downpours are likely over higher ground.
Thursday will be another warm day, though some places will see a lot of cloud and outbreaks of mainly light rain.
"Again, we could see the odd heavier burst, especially later in the day," Mr Robinson said.
"There will also be some sunshine around – especially across southern and more northern parts of the country, particularly early in the day.
"Temperature-wise the Moray Firth and the far north could see temperatures around 20C or 21C. Glasgow and perhaps even Edinburgh might reach 21C or 22C."
Provisional statistics from the Met Office show this summer has been wet but also warmer than average.
Scotland experienced a heatwave in May, with temperatures in some places shooting up to double the levels normally seen at that time of year.
The Outer Isles and northwest Highlands enjoyed temperatures soaring to 27C.

No, Dolly Parton hasn't been living a lie for the last 46 years. On Monday night's "Nightline," the country icon, who has been married to the rarely seen Carl Dean since 1966, addressed rumors that she's gay, rumors that have stemmed from her close relationship with longtime best friend Judy Ogle.
"Judy and I have been best friends since we were like in the third and fourth grade," she says in the interview with Juju Chang. "I mean, I love her as much as I love anybody in the whole world, but we're not romantically involved."
The rumors are similar to those that have dogged Oprah Winfrey regarding her relationship with her BFF Gayle King. Parton notes she and Winfrey have laughed about the false reports.
"We do talk about that Gayle, her friend; Judy, my friend. They just think that you just can't be that close to somebody," she explains.
Despite the fact that many celebs who tie the knot at a young age end up divorcing, Parton and husband Dean, who were 20 and 24 respectively when they wed are still together, in part because he tends to stay out of the spotlight. "He's proud of me. He's just basically shy about things like that. He doesn't like crowds," she said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2010. "And I respect his privacy. I respect the fact that he loves to be out of the limelight. That's one of the reasons I think we've lasted so long."
The couple met the day Parton arrived in Nashville in 1964. "I wasn't a star then, so I've never had to worry that he loves me because I'm a star and I've got money or make money or whatever. I know he loves me for me, and that means a lot to me," she shared during the same interview with Winfrey.
Parton was candid about plenty of other topics during this week's "Nightline" interview, which took place at her Tennessee theme park Dollywood. When asked if she indeed originally modeled herself after the "town tramp," Parton gave a resounding yes.
"That is an absolute truth. She was beautiful. I had never seen anybody with the yellow hair all piled up, and the red lipstick, and the rouge, and the high heel shoes," she admits. "And I thought, that is what I want to look like."
The singer and actress has also never hidden the fact that she's undergone multiple rounds of plastic surgery over the years, explaining, "I think you should do it if it's gonna make you feel better."
As for how her implants are doing: "I don't think they age," Parton laughs. "My girls are doing pretty good."
And at 66, Parton is still going strong, dedicating some of her time to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a literacy program started in honor of her father, who never learned to read or write. The nonprofit has given out 40 million books.
As for retirement, she's not planning on it. "I will never retire unless I had to," Parton insists. "As long as I'm able to get up in the morning, get that makeup on, get those high heels on. Even if I can't wear the high heels, if I'm not able to wear 'em, I'm going to do like Mae West and sit in a wheelchair with my high heels on and have somebody wheel me around."

Randy Christensen, MD MPH, author of Ask Me Why I Hurt, will be a featured speaker at the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics' Fifth Annual Community Service Learning Conference on April 5, 2012. The Libraries and the Center are encouraging students, faculty and staff to read Ask Me Why I Hurt and participate in group discussions about the book in advance of the author's visit.
Dr. Christensen is a pediatrician for Phoenix Children's Hospital who operates the Crews'n Healthmobile, a 38-foot mobile medical unit that goes out into the streets of central Arizona to provide free healthcare services to homeless and at-risk youth, as well as referrals for housing, food, GED, substance abuse, employment, obtaining identification, legal services and health insurance.
Ask Me Why I Hurt is Dr. Christensen's memoir of his work caring for society's throwaway kids—the often-abused, unloved children who live on the streets without access to proper health care, all the while fending off constant threats from thugs, gangs, pimps, and other predators. You can learn more about the book and author at AskMeWhyIHurt.com, and follow Dr. Christensen on Twitter (@AskMeWhyIHurt).
We encourage you to pick up a copy of Ask Me Why I Hurt at the Health Science Center Libraries, the San Antonio Public Library, or your local library. You can also purchase the book at the campus bookstore, where faculty, staff and students can purchase the book at a 10% discount by showing a Health Science Center badge.
Group discussion opportunities: we hope you will join us for one of the following group discussions of the book:
- Monday, March 26, 2012:
- 7pm group discussion at the home of Dr Ruth Berggren.
To RSVP, contact Jason Vasquez at firstname.lastname@example.com or 210.567.0795.
- Wednesday, April 4, 2012:
- Noon-1pm group discussion in the Howe Conference Room (Briscoe Library 5.076) led by Rajia Tobia, Executive Director of Libraries. Feel free to bring your lunch; dessert will be provided.
- Watch this space for announcements of additional upcoming discussion group opportunities, facilitated by the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics.
Finally, we hope you'll join us on Thursday, April 5, 2012 for the Community Service Learning Conference, where Dr. Christensen and Julie Watson LPN will speak on "Why do you do what you do? Caring for Underserved Populations." at 3:35pm.
