DeCock: Canes broadcasters make playoffs, even if team doesn't
For the fifth straight season, the Carolina Hurricanes missed the playoffs. For the fifth straight season, television broadcaster John Forslund didn't. And for the first time, his regular-season broadcast partner came along for the ride.
Friday morning, Forslund and Tripp Tracy, the play-by-play announcer and analyst on FS Carolina's broadcasts of the Hurricanes, were on a flight together from Minnesota to Colorado. Thursday night, they worked together, calling Game 4 of the Wild-Avalanche series for CNBC. Saturday night, they'll be on the air together again for Game 5 on NBCSN, with Forslund in the booth and Tracy between the benches.
"It's been an absolute ton of fun, to be able to experience an NHL playoff game in now two different cities inside the glass," Tracy said. "It's a priceless vantage point."
While Forslund is a stalwart of NHL playoff coverage on NBC's networks, it's Tracy's first national exposure. They worked games 1, 2 and 4 of the Minnesota-Colorado series, with Forslund jumping off to call one game of the Dallas-Anaheim series as well. Meanwhile, the third member of their FS Carolinas broadcast team, reporter Chantel McCabe, is hosting video highlight packages for NHL.com.
For Forslund, nothing else about calling playoff games is new, but nothing about it gets old either.
"There's nothing like it," Forslund said. "The playoff games are special. Each one is different than the next. I've never lost that."
Forslund has worked extensively for NBC's networks since the 2007 playoffs. The wider visibility has raised Forslund's profile throughout the game of hockey, with the near-universal acclaim for his work echoing what Triangle hockey fans have known for a long time.
It's all a new experience for Tracy, though. A shortage of analysts thanks to the mix of teams in the playoffs opened the door for him this season, but he's also reaping the rewards for improvement in his on-air performance and professionalism over the past few years.
Hurricanes fans have occasionally criticized his flippancy – national viewers got a taste of the unique Tracy style in his first few minutes on air, when he discussed the impact of smelling salts on his "nasal cavity" – but he has never been more objectively critical of the team than he was this season.
"I figured getting a national opportunity was going to be difficult because I was only a bench guy as a player," Tracy said. "I just assumed if I continued to improve, game by game, season by season, sooner or later people would have more respect for the job I do.
"This year was a challenge because obviously the Hurricanes had lofty expectations, Hurricanes fans are some of the best in hockey and they're hockey-educated. They deserve to know, if the team doesn't meet expectations, why that is. There were a lot of nights when I went home after games and I didn't exactly sleep well, because it's a lot more fun to call the 2006 Stanley Cup team."
Friday morning, Tracy second-guessed some of the questions he asked Wild forward Mikael Granlund, whose difficult English complicated a postgame interview, but not the opportunity.
"It's a pleasure," Colorado coach Patrick Roy has cheerfully concluded each of Tracy's in-game interviews with him on the bench. For Forslund and Tracy, the feeling was mutual. The only way it could be any better is if the Hurricanes were involved.
"I feel bad for our fan base," Forslund said. "I hope they get to see it again in the future. It's been spectacular."

I am a big fan of the original UK version of MasterChef on BBC2. (I even did the ingredient challenges for series 3 and blogged my attempts on Just Hungry. I blog about MasterChef a lot.)
Anyway, I recently discovered the Australian version of MasterChef via nefarious (cough) means. It's quite different from the British version, but I'm hooked! The challenges so far are pretty interesting and the contestants have a lot of promise (either in terms of cooking skills or potential for you know, reality TV drama), but what I am most impressed by is the variety and quality of the produce and things available. I've never been to Australia but now I really want to go!
How is the show being received in Australia? (I think someone really should bring the MasterChef format to the US too, though the Food Network or whoever may ruin it.)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I watched one episode of the auditions, and probably most of the episodes with the top 20. A friend and I follow the show pretty religiously (read: sitting in front of TV, eating dinner, and having a twitter-conversation about all the goings-on of the show), and we even have "favourites". Oh, and we did squeal considerably when Sam went against Manu Fieldel following the first challenge.
The show must be doing quite well, since Aussies generally love a show where people are given the opportunity to fulfill a dream. It's also the first reality TV show (I know of) that is repeated the next day, as well as streamed online.
Who has impressed you the most so far, Maki?
I think Viola is a dark horse. The Navy officer may be a dark horse. How about you? Sam was impressive in that challenge, but he made a big faux pas by deciding to set the price for _all_ the dishes to $9 in the sushi bar challenge. Why mess around with a working pricing formula for an established successful restaurant? He really should have been 'fired' imo but I guess it's sort of a popularity contest anyway. (I didn't like the last episode at all with all the manufactured drama, no cooking. Cut the drama and show us more food ^_^) That food photographer guy who lost the beef...he annoys me. Well, so far there are too many people to really pick out favorites.
Viola? I know there's a Julia, a Julie, and a Justine in the top 20, but can't recall a Viola... but that might have more to do with my sketchy memory.
Trevor is definitely the typical Aussie. I loved his comment after tasting the lamb and mash ("Mine's better" XD)--ah, the lovable big fella. He seems to be the most down to earth guy in the competition at the moment. Some of the others are becoming a bit pretentious.
Honestly, I thought Sam's only faux pas was setting the price of almost everything $9 for the sushi bar challenge. That, and losing their beef definitely brought about the Blue team's downfall. Managing the stock in the kitchen is just as important as managing the staff working in that kitchen. But the Red team's lack of leadership and general disorganisation was quite disappointing also. Stealing the beef was pretty bad too: both teams should have lost, imo.
But considering how the show is on five nights a week, with a combination of half- and full-hour episodes, they'd have to cut down on the cooking and put in a bit more "drama", so that it remains a "reality show"--kind of like Jamie's School Dinners and Ministry of Food series.
Ack, not Viola, her name is Linda. I must have remembered her as 'Viola' because she used 'viola dust' or something in her audition recipe. (and candied violets too). Yep, it definitely could use less episodes and tighter editing. (I also noticed that your Biggest Loser is on every weekday too. That must be intolerable to watch...I can't even watch the drama in the once a week US version!)
Oh, the Biggest Loser... the timeslot was nothing short of poison while that was on. Funny thing is, MasterChef now takes the exact same timeslot, and I always forget to watch because there's that fear of accidentally tuning into the Biggest Loser...
Actually, I was wrong about it being on 5 days a week. It's on 6 days a week--from Sunday to Friday. Including the repeat on Saturday, it means that the show is on at least once every day... that's a lot of MasterChef.
What LOLs me more is the episode summaries on the actual homepage. It sounds as though someone transcribed a gossip conversation or something similar...
Elimination tonight! I wonder who will go this time... My guess is Aaron. He's the only one in the bottom 3 who has stuffed up the challenges twice.
One of the things I miss about Australia is how available most things are - especially in Sydney. You tend not to notice changes in the seasons (except the awesome mangoes in summer) as most produce is available all year and the ethnic groceries are so easy to come by that a typical supermarket can cater for most of your needs. Sure, I don't want to get bagaong all the time but it was there if I wanted!
*Sigh* - you appreciate such things when you move away to the UK and are at a considerable distance from London..
We are getting this in New Zealand now - and it's the only TV programme I watch. Love it. I record it on my computer then watch it when I get home from work, skipping over the hype-y bits. It's like free cooking lessons.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I've deleted most of the reality-show episodes, but the Master Class ones where the two chef-judges give cooking classes are terrific! I'd watch a series just of those lessons.
They're calling for contestants for a NZ series. I'd love to do it but I'd never be able to: a) I'd go blank in the invention challenges and fail immediately, b) I couldn't take time off work, c) Who'd look after my cats? d) I'd go nuts having to share accommodation (totally crazy; I need my solitude), e) Probably wouldn't even be good enough to get picked. I am looking forward to it though - I just have to figure out some way of knowing when it'll be broadcast.
Is Master Chef anything like the U.S. "Iron Chef", which pits two professional chefs against each other over one night, or our "Top Chef", which starts with 13 or so profesionals and eliminates (cruelly) one a week for an entire season?
But the food show that got my heart pumping was "Top Chef Masters" which showed that even those at the top of the food pyramid can get the timing wrong.
It takes 20 amateurs and eliminates them quite kindly one by one over the season. The winner gets a bit of money, to publish a cookbook, and some training or something, can't remember. They have challenges like the "mystery box" where they are given a selection of foods and have a set period of time to create something delicious out of some or all of them; the group challenge, where they divide into teams and have to do something in the real world; the "invention test" where the winner of the mystery box gets to choose one core ingredient that everyone has to incorporate into a dish. The winner of the invention test gets to cook off against a professional chef and if he/she wins they skip straight to the last week. The judges also give a masterclass once a week, where they show what, and how, they would have cooked with the mystery box. There's a lot of good cooking in it, minimal bitchiness between contestants, and no gratuitous nastiness from the judges.
They are from the same company, but have different formats.
MasterChef UK, the original, starts with weeks where each day, 6 amateur cooks compete against each other on three challenges. The first is an 'invention test' where they have to make something with a given set of ingredients in 30 or 40 minutes (I forgot how long). 3 contestants are eliminated right there Then there is a 'pressure test' where the 3 remaining contestants work a real shift in a professional kitchen. Finally, there is a cooking test where they have to make 3 courses of their own choosing within an hour.
The winner of each day gets to go to the quarterfinal round at the end of the week. The winner of that one goes to the semi-finals...which occur after 8 weeks of the same. The UK show in broadcast for 30 minutes Monday to Wednesday, then for a full hour (on BBC, so no commercials) on Thursday.
The semi-final rounds are really interesting; the contestants go on all kinds of cooking challenges, rather like the ones on Top Chef but more intense in some ways. The winner wins - not a cash prize, but the chance to work in a professional kitchen for a year or something, and lots of glory.
MasterChef AU takes 20 contestants (chosen in preliminary rounds that take place in several cities around the country) and eliminates them at a rate of about 1 per week. The show is broadcast 6 days a week too - quite intense. There's a lot more game elements than on the UK show, and more reality-show type elements like showing them living in the MasterChef House together and so on.
The cooking on both shows is really good, especially in the later rounds. I think the original UK format is the best though. I like Top Chef a lot, but to me MasterChef is the best cooking-competition show on the air, bar none.
In the UK there are also spinoffs called Celebrity MasterChef (pitting D-class celebs against each other in an abbreviated version of the main show) and MasterChef: The Professionals, where young professional chefs compete against each other. The Professionals one tests their fundamental skills a lot more. None of the UK shows have the backstage backstabbing/romancing or whatever elements (though there is sometimes tension in the kitchen) - it's pure competition and cooking.
Watching the Australian version of Masterchef here in NZ. For me it is just a soap opera. Very poorly produced. After being such a fan of the UK format, I just hate this format. There is only a couple of contestants worthy of being there. I'm going to the Living Channel to watch the UK Master chef Go large, far more interesting. It is on at 9.30pm. The other thing I hate about this show is the obvious favoritism by the judges. Really sickening. There supposed to be looking for the BEST, and quite frankly that aint happening. NAF.
The contestants vote out there peers, how odd is that. Rubbish. Cooking dosn't improve much either.
I suppose I have the advantage of being able to instantly drag through the "drama" bits and just watch the cooking parts. Not sure I'd be willing to watch it if I couldn't, although I don't agree with you about the favouritism - I got the impression, for instance, that they'd much rather have kept Justine last night, and rather have had the boys lose that Hong Kong Challenge.
Master Chef is coming to America! Fox has picked up a series ala Ramsay.
I am about 90% sure Fox is going to totally ruin it.
PBS did bring a version called Masterchef America or something some years ago, but I guess it didn't go well.
The only cooking competition show for non-chefs that seems to be on the air in the US is The Next Food Network Star, though many of the contestants that go on there are chefs. All the other shows are for pro chefs only. Sort of strange.
MasterChef is the only addictive reality show I've ever watch. I remember sitting in front on TV every night at 7pm and felt lost after the show finished. But like all high rated shows somehow it grew...as in they made the show longer by adding more dramas. There goes my "reality" show. I enjoy the cooking.
If Julia Child taught America to cook then MasterChef taught Australia to cook. One of online recipes website http://www.taste.com.au said after MasterChef showed Pressure Test about Paella one night, Paella became the top hit search recipe in Taste, lol.
They launched DVD on MasterChef Australia: Masterclass, it's a compilation of Cooking Classes from the series with Gary Mehigan and George Calomboris.
And the recipes are here. Not sure if they filter you out by geographical location or not, but have a try.
We now have Masterchef New Zealand.
The first episode was abysmal, the judges very contrived sounding and all really rather cringe-making. However, they're NOT actors, so it may take a bit for them to relax properly, and they had improved a fair bit in episode two which was on Wednesday night.
The format is similar to the Australian one in many respects, but it's only on once a week and it looks as though there will be no "voting off" which is a plus. They chose 24 people in the first week and halved that in the second. I'm assuming they'll be getting rid of one contestant per episode from now on.
And guess what! One of the contestants who has got into the final 12 is a boy (I shouldn't call him that, he has to be about 40 by now) I've known since he was seven years old. His uncle is a good friend and ex-boyfriend of mine. So now I have to watch all of it and not just zip through to the cooking bits.
That's going to spice up the series for you! Do let us know how MC-NZ pans out (and how your friend's son gets on!)

Kobe Bryant's wife of nearly 11 years, Vanessa, filed for divorce just over a month ago. They had no prenuptial agreement, and Vanessa will reportedly receive about $75 million in the settlement—so about $1.4 million for every alleged affair Kobe had during their marriage.
TMZ reports that Vanessa will receive half of the couple's assets, which are estimated at $150 million, as well as ownership of three mansions that they own together in Newport Beach, Calif. Vanessa may not have been with Kobe "shootin' in the gym," as Drake rapped in solidarity this month, but she will do just fine without him.
There's a lesson here, and it's that we should all take our marriage advice from the Basketball Wives.

If empty plastic milk jugs stack up in quickly in your recycling bin, there are plenty of great ways to reuse them. From a Lego scoop to a seed starter, here are a handful of fun, kid-friendly projects that make it easy to transform ordinary milk jugs into items that you and your family can enjoy all year long. Read on to learn how to make these five simple projects.
What you will need for all 5 of these projects:
– empty plastic milk jugs with lids (washed well and dried)
– cutting tool
– scissors
– awl or thumbtack
– natural twine
– marker
Project #1 – Bird Feeder
Step 1
Using your cutting tool or scissors cut the top off the milk jug, leaving as large of a base as you prefer.
Step 2
Using an awl or a thumbtack, punch a hole in the center of each of the four sides. Thread twine through each hole and tie with a double knot.
Step 3
Tie all four pieces of twine together at the top in a knot, leaving a loop to hang the bird feeder by.
Step 4
Fill with your favorite organic bird seed and greet the birds as they arrive in your yard.
Project #2 – Lego Scoop
Step 1
Using a marker, trace the scoop shape onto a milk jug, leaving the handle of the jug.
Step 2
Using your cutting tool or scissor, cut out the scoop, leaving the handle in tact.
Step 3
Watch your child use the scoop to pick up large quantities of Lego's, small toys or even sand at the beach.
Project #3 – Kids' Dresser Drawer Organizer
Step 1
Cut the top of each milk jug off. I suggest cutting these to the height of your dresser drawers.
Step 2
Place in the dresser drawer and use to organize socks, underwear, hats, jewelry, ties, and hair accessories.
Project #4 – Seed Starter
Step 1
Cut a milk jug in half, keeping the lower half.
Step 2
Fill with organic potting soil. Then, plant seeds, seedlings or other small plants. Place in a warm windowsill and watch them grow.
Project #5 – Watering Can
Step 1
Using an awl or thumbtack, make several small holes in a circular pattern at the top of milk jug (opposite the handle.)
Step 2
Fill the jug with water, replace the lid and send your child to the garden to water her plants.
What other fun ways have you found to recycle a milk jug?

Many Madison County residents have grown up in fear of the nerve and blister agents stored at the Bluegrass Army Depot.
Tuesday, for the first time ever, the media was allowed to join prominent lawmakers on a visit to the construction site where more than 500 tons of chemical weapons will eventually be destroyed.
The 53 acre site won't be finished until 2016 at the current rate of funding. Senator Mitch McConnell and Congressman Ben Chandler, who have led the bipartisan fight to make sure the project is fully funded, got a briefing on the 3 billion dollar project Tuesday and then toured the construction site.
Congressman Chandler told the assembled media, "We haven't seen a lot of vertical work yet, but if you get information on what's happening under ground, you will find an enormous amount of work has been done on this project, and the thing I like about that is it makes it that much more difficult to go backwards."
Right now the weapons destruction isn't scheduled to be completed until 2021, but by treaty, America is obligated to have all the chemical weapons disposed of by 2017.
Senator McConnell says, "I know there are people who are saying that deadline can't be met, but that is the law."
No matter how long it takes to complete this project, McConnell says it can help Kentucky's economy. "This is going to be a source of significant employment. At the peak, we could have up to 600 people working on this, and we believe the substantial majority of those workers will be Kentuckians."
And ethically, political rivals McConnell and Chandler say we all need to work together to right a wrong. McConnell calls the manufacture and storage of these chemical weapons "one of history's biggest mistakes", and Chandler adds, "We must work to clean up this mistake because this is one issue that has an immediate impact on the people that we represent, and there is a very real danger at the Bluegrass Army Depot as long as those weapons exist."

Leelanau Peninsula's Harvest Stompede Offers Walk/Run & Wine Tasting
Northern Michigan Events: "Harvest is the long-awaited moment when we pluck plump, ripe fruit from the vines. The grapes are handpicked after long months of carefully tending to the vines to ensure a vintage of quality wines with the unique character for which our region is known for," shares Matt Gregory of Chateau de Leelanau and President of the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. "It's an exciting time in the winemaking process, and we invite you to celebrate with us during our Harvest Stompede event."
The annual Harvest Stompede weekend is a fabulous time to visit Leelanau Peninsula's wineries. Rolling hills of flourishing grapevines cover the countryside, providing a gorgeous backdrop to wine tasting fun in a two-day event that takes place September 7 and 8, 2013.
Kicking-off the weekend festivities is an optional race through the vineyards at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday at Ciccone Vineyards in Suttons Bay. A unique course between rows of grapevines offers an experience like no other for runners, walkers and spectators. The race is designed for both serious and recreational runners and walkers, with options for a 5K walk, 5K run, or 7-mile run.
Following the race, 23 wineries each offer a special wine and food pairing that features some of the local ingredients that Leelanau is famed for. Tasting hours for the self-guided tour along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail are 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Tickets are $40 per person and are only available in advance and routinely sell out. Get tickets and lodging packages at lpwines.com/harvest. To participate in the race, which is separate from the wine trail event, register online at signmeup.com.

This sign is painted white with with a black pineapple, distressed, and is completely hand painted with no vinyl used. Each sign is framed with my signature Special Walnut stained solid pine wood. The Cranky Queen products are always handcrafted and there may be slight variations in items, meaning no two items will be exactly the same. Due to variations in wood, each sign may have natural imperfections which add to the rustic feel of each piece. I put a whole lot of love in every piece I make and will do my best to make sure every item looks as close to the original as possible. These signs are designed to have a rustic modern farmhouse look and feel, and slight imperfections add to this look.
I am obsessed with chippy paint, rustic modern farmhouse style, shiplap, and all things vintage or old. If you are my spirit person and feel the same way, these signs are for you!

Two things that make me smile:
* the simple pleasure of the 1st cup of coffee in the morning.
* ordering a BLT sub from Subway. I smile because for some reason I have to specify that I want lettuce and tomato on my sub. The first time I ordered, the worker asked me what else I would like on my sub. I looked at the sub and all that was on there was bacon. I was a little confused at first - I did order a 'BLT' - so I said "umm - lettuce and tomato?" Then I just shook my head a little and looked at my husband with a look that says "what the?" I find it all kind of funny now - a little stupid, but funny. :)
By the way - my BLT sub never looks like this:

The Search To See If I Had Married My Cousin
I just reread a "Note to Self" on this blog that said I must concentrate on the grandparents and not go off on other hunts. Well once again I failed completely, but it sure has been fun finding Caleb and then the resulting "bad men" and "good men" stories. But as soon as I get theses folks stories told I feel sure I can make it back to those important grandparents.
2 comments:
I descend from a family of Starrs from Wilkes County, GA and I'm trying to determine if there is a connection to the Cherokee Starrs. Several in this family did make Eastern Cherokee applications claiming to descend from Caleb Starr. Many of the given names in the family match, but I've found nothing concrete. It may be your husband's family. I'd be interested in finding out more. Interestingly, I married a cousin of Cole Younger. Thanks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Jana,Delete
I have several public family trees on Ancestry.com two of which might be a huge help in your search. One is my mother's which this blog is mostly about http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/9762032/family and the other is my husband's with his Starr line: http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/34838020/family. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want to contact me through email, I'll be glad to look at what information you have and see if I can be of any help at all. I have done a good bit of research on both lines.

In this thesis I study the gas distribution and dynamics, as well as the stellar populations, in the circumnuclear star forming rings in the nearby barred galaxies NGC5248 and NGC6951. Circumnuclear star forming rings are regions of high gas and star formation density in the centers of disk galaxies. These star formation rings can have a strong influence on the secular evolution of their host galaxies, by halting gas inflow towards the nucleus. The gas masses that build up in these rings are high and this consequently leads to intense star formation. This makes circumnuclear star forming rings also an important tool to build up the stellar (pseudo-)bulge. These two galaxies were selected because they have very similar global properties (mass, size, metallicity), but very different circumnuclear regions, both of which containing circumnuclear star forming rings. Detailed investigation of both, and a comparison between them, thus provides new detailed insight on the interplay between circumnuclear star forming rings and the circumnuclear region as a whole. Three questions are addressed in this work. First of all, I investigate the true effectiveness of the circumnuclear rings as a gas barrier in both galaxies. I study star formation progression in these rings and its relation to the gas flow onto the ring. The age and life span of the circumnuclear rings is derived from the analysis of their stellar populations. In both galaxies I find that while the circumnuclear rings are effective barriers, they are not absolute ones. The interplay between the large scale stellar bar, circumnuclear ring and other dynamical components in the circumnuclear region allows some gas to flow towards the very center past the ring. I find that the location of the youngest stars in the ring is close to the inflow position of the gas onto the ring in both galaxies, consistent with star formation proceeding in a 'pearls-on-a-string' mechanism with the youngest 'pearls' close to the gas inflow location. Finally, I derive ages of the rings around 1.5 Gyr, which implies that circumnuclear star forming rings have a significant amount of time to shape the circumnuclear regions of their host galaxies.

Drew helps BoSox down Twins in extras
Boston, MA – Stephen Drew capped a 4-for-5 night with an RBI double with two out in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving the Boston Red Sox a hard-earned 6-5 decision over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a four-game series from Fenway Park.
Drew added a solo homer and finished with three RBI to help the Red Sox bounce back from three straight weekend losses at Texas in their return home. Dustin Pedroia and Shane Victorino each went 3-for-5 while contributing solo shots as well to the victory.
David Ortiz recorded an eighth-inning double to extend his hitting streak to 26 games dating back to last season.
Clayton Mortensen (1-2) registered the win after tossed 2 1/3 innings in relief of Joel Hanrahan, who blew a 5-4 lead by allowing a solo homer to Brian Dozier in the top of the ninth.
Dozier, Joe Mauer and Josh Willingham all collected two hits for the Twins, with Mauer scoring a pair of runs and Justin Morneau knocking in two in the loss.
"We had opportunities. They had some opportunities, and finally they get the big hit there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Boston's Clay Buchholz, who posted a spectacular 1.01 ERA in winning each of his first six starts of 2013, was reached for four runs over a season-low six innings. Counterpart Vance Worley permitted three runs on nine hits through five-plus frames for Minnesota.
"I didn't do anything differently," Buchholz said. "I gave up runs."
Jared Burton (0-1) began the bottom of the 11th for the Twins and set down the first two Boston batters. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Will Middlebrooks then laced back-to-back singles to set the stage for Drew, whose long fly landed at the base of the Green Monster to easily bring home Saltalamacchia.
Pedroia put the Red Sox in position to prevail in regulation by ending a 10- pitch battle against Casey Fien with a deep fly that cleared the Monster and gave Boston a 5-4 lead after eight innings. Dozier forced extras, however, by punishing a Hanrahan fastball over the towering wall with one out in the top of the ninth.
Hanrahan, pressed into service with regular closer Andrew Bailey landing on the disabled list with a strained right biceps, faced just two more batters before being removed with an arm injury of his own.
Buchholz hadn't permitted more than two runs in any of his initial six starts, but had that number matched during a laborious opening inning in which he threw 36 pitches. Consecutive one-out doubles off the Monster from Mauer and Willingham quickly put Minnesota out in front, and Morneau followed with a line-drive single deflected by Buchholz's glove to extend the lead to 2-0.
The Twins wound up loading the bases with one out during the frame, but Buchholz recovered to fan Oswaldo Arcia and Aaron Hicks in succession.
Another set of doubles lengthened Minnesota's margin, with Arcia and Hicks both delivering two-baggers into the right-field corner in the fourth for a 3-0 edge.
Victorino's first homer in a Red Sox uniform, a shot off Pesky's Pole to begin the bottom of the fourth, got Boston on the board, though the Twins restored a three-run advantage when Mauer socked a ground-rule double to begin the fifth and came home on Morneau's sacrifice fly two batters later.
The Red Sox put up single runs in each of the next four innings, however, to forge ahead.
Drew's clutch two-out single in the fifth brought in Daniel Nava after the latter reached with a leadoff double to left, and back-to-back singles by Victorino and Pedroia to start the bottom of the sixth ended Worley's night. Brian Duensing came on to get Ortiz to bounce into a double play, but surrendered a base hit to Mike Napoli that scored Victorino and moved Boston within 4-3.
Drew, who was thrown out at home while trying to cross on a Jacoby Ellsbury double in the fifth, made up for the failure on the basepaths in his next at- bat. The shortstop took Fien over the wall with one out in the bottom of the seventh to knot the game at 4-4.
Game Notes
Bailey was placed on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to April 29) prior to the game, with lefty reliever Craig Breslow (shoulder) activated from the DL in a corresponding move ... Ortiz's streak is the longest by a Red Sox player since Manny Ramirez hit safely in 27 straight from July 15-Aug. 12, 2006 ... The win was the Red Sox' first in eight games when trailing after six innings this season ... Minnesota has now gone nine straight outings without committing an error.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College baseball team (10-7, 4-3 PBC) picked up its 10th win of the season in a 6-5 edging of Georgia Southwestern State University (6-13, 2-7 PBC) Friday night at John Kurtz Field.
A bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth inning plated the go-ahead run in the form of Ikaika Anderson (Austell, Ga.).
The Bobcats controlled the majority of the game after taking their first lead of 3-2 in the bottom of the second. The big blow in that inning was a two-run single by Jake Sandlin (Evans, Ga.).
GSW made it 5-5 in the top of the eighth after an RBI single and a sacrifice fly plated two runs.
In the bottom half, Anderson reached on a one-out single through the right side. A pair of walks sandwiched another out to load the bases with two down. Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) watched four pitches miss the target to bring in the winning run.
Sandlin finished 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs. Anderson did him one better at three hits in four trips, scoring three times. Leftfielder Taylor Hinshaw (Winder, Ga.) had a pair of hits in four trips with a run and Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) extended his hit streak to 15 games with a 2-for-3 game, driving in two.
Christian Bragg (Augusta, Ga.) got the win (1-0) with an inning of scoreless relief, Matt LaMothe (Troy, Mich.) tallying his first save of the season with a scoreless ninth. Hurricane reliever Earl Dupree (0-4) took the loss. Third baseman Josh Sanders had three hits and an RBI in his leadoff spot for GSW.
The Bobcats finish the three-game set with doubleheader action tomorrow, March 9 at 1 p.m.

Blacklist and Studio AKA have completed a new TV & print campaign for Hertz that focuses on the tagline Traveling at the Speed of Hertz. Revolutionizing the category with new and improved service features, Hertz reaffirms its commitment to continuously move in the direction of innovation and offer a faster more personalized rental experience. To differentiate from others in the category, they must communicate our strengths of innovation, reputation, speed and service. "We are so thrilled to partner with Studio AKA on this campaign," says Adina Sales, Managing Director, Blacklist. "We have been keen to bring AKA's amazing talents to the US Market, and have been actively seeking the right collaborative opportunity for them. The Hertz campaign, via DDB NY, was the perfect fit. AKA raises the bar on smart thinking, clever design and great storytelling. The stars aligned for this project and the result is smart, fresh work." Working with Blacklist to come up with some designs for the new campaign, Studio AKA looked to sought after Designer Christopher Gray to come up with what had to be a strikingly minimal yet still engaging look to carry across the campaign. Gray's designs hit the spot with Hertz and AKA teamed him up with recent Oscar Nominated director Grant Orchard to collaborate on the campaign. In addition to the stand alone mnemonic which starts each spot, AKA were tasked with tweaking the existing Hertz mascot Horatio to fit the more angular stylings of the end campaign - and with the reassuring VO courtesy of Owen Wilson - the spots were kept deliberately sparse, with effort made to hold back on excessive details. The 2D character & set elements animation were created by hand in Flash with the 3D vehicles were built & composited in XSI and After Effects. The Series rolls out over the next few months and the result is a beautifully restrained campaign befitting of Studio AKA. The graphic style of this campaign marks a departure from past campaigns, namely Hertz's most recent campaign featuring the personas of the Gas and the Brake. Alternatively, this campaign is animated and takes a single-minded approach to each of the services. The highly stylized, contemporary looking animation seeks to reflect the sophistication of the premium and technologically-advanced services being showcased in an effort to resonate with business as well as leisure travelers.

SHENZHEN, China - It wasn't an easy task - she had lost two of the pair's three previous meetings and had the pressure of her home crowd on her shoulders - but Li Na was just tough enough, edging Klara Zakopalova, 63 16 75, to win the International-level Shenzhen Longgang Gemdale Open.
Though she won the first set fairly comfortably, Li's problems with the Zakopalova game began to show right after, as the No.5-seeded Czech raced through the second set and broke in the opening game of the third. Li, the No.1 seed, found her range just in time, winning five of the next six games for a 5-2 lead in the decider, and after allowing Zakopalova to close to 5-all, she closed it out with two quick games.
The two were so evenly matched in the two-hour, four-minute final that Zakopalova actually ended up winning more points in the match than Li: 89 points to the Czech, 88 points to the Chinese.
Li captured her seventh WTA title and second in China, following a triumph at Guangzhou in 2004 that made her the first Chinese player ever to win a WTA title. Her other five WTA titles came at Gold Coast in 2008, Birmingham in 2010, Sydney and the French Open in 2011 and Cincinnati in 2012.
"Klara played well and I managed my mood swings well, and I'm glad I made it," Li said. "Winning the title certainly helps boost my confidence for the coming weeks, but it also depends on how I'm playing on the courts. Confidence itself won't guarantee a win. But I'm very happy to win and the Shenzhen Longgang Gemdale Open was a great tournament - I believe it will get even better in future years.
"I'll fly to Sydney tonight. I'll try my best there and as a professional player I'll play every match very seriously. I don't know how many more years I will still play, so I'm really cherishing every match I play."
Zakopalova is now 2-10 in WTA finals, but there's a very bright silver lining for her - she is projected to rise from her current ranking of No.28 past her career-high of No.26, which she set back in 2006.
"It was about a few points today but she really proved she's a top player - she played her best from 5-all," Zakopalova said. "She's playing unbelievably fast and flat, and she's hitting her backhand down the line very well. To me she's one of the Top 3 players right now and I hope she can make it there.
"There's no way to be sad about losing - I lost to a top player and I'm happy to reach the final."
The doubles title went to No.1 seeds the Chan sisters, Hao-Ching and Yung-Jan, who beat unseeded duo Irina Buryachok and Valeria Solovieva in the final later in the day, 60 75. Chan Yung-Jan collected her 10th WTA doubles title, while younger sister Chan Hao-Ching won her first WTA doubles title.
"We started quite well today - in the second set we went through a bit of trouble, but we managed to get control back," Chan Yung-Jan said. "This boosts our confidence and to win our first WTA title together in the first week of the year, and in the first year of this tournament, it means a lot to us."

Obama's day: Israel and Netanyahu
President Obama wades into the tricky waters of Middle East diplomacy on Monday when he welcomes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.
Obama told Bloomberg View he will urge Israel's leader to endorse a U.S.-drafted framework for a peace deal with the Palestinians, or face the prospect of international isolation in the future.
If Netanyahu "does not believe that a peace deal with the Palestinians is the right thing to do for Israel, then he needs to articulate an alternative approach," Obama told Bloomberg View. "It's hard to come up with one that's plausible."
It's the latest in a series of Middle East meetings for the president.
Obama, who last month huddled with King Abdullah II of Jordan, meets March 17 with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Later this month, as part of a trip that includes Europe, Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia to confer with King Abdullah.
On Monday, Obama is also expected to address Netanyahu's criticism of U.S.-led negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. Netanyahu says Iran is seeking the means to make nuclear weapons, though Iran said its program is for peaceful energy purposes.
The White House says Obama and Netanyahu will discuss "progress in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, developments in Iran, and other regional priorities."
While Obama and Netanyahu have had their differences over the years, the White House says the prime minister's visit Monday "is a demonstration of the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel, and our close consultations on a range of security issues."
Obama and aides will also be keeping their eyes Monday on another foreign policy hot spot: Russian military activity in Ukraine.

TV's Giuliana Rancic to share story of hope and positive attitude
Up until a year ago, Giuliana Rancic was known to millions for her work as host of "E! News" and as one of E!'s "Fashion Police," as well through her reality show, "Giuliana & Bill," which documents life with her husband, Bill Rancic -- the first winner of Donald Trump's show "The Apprentice."
But last year, she forged a special connection with her audience, sharing with them the news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. In December, she had a double mastectomy, and since then has been sharing her story with others, in the hopes that women focus on early detection through self exams and mammograms. She has been appearing at events around the country to raise awareness about the disease.
"Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I have been doing a little bit of traveling," Rancic, who lives in Chicago, stated in an email. "I am so excited to continue to share my story with others."
Rancic, 38, will be in Stamford on Saturday, Oct. 13, for a "Girls' Night Out" at the Palace Theatre. There, she will give a talk "Taking Control of Your Destiny: The Power of a Positive Attitude." It is part of Stamford Hospital's Bennett Cancer Center's annual Paint the Town Pink breast cancer awareness campaign.
Rancic and her husband, who just started their sixth season of "Giuliana & Bill," on the Style Network welcomed a baby boy, Edward Duke, into their family in August. Rancic recently answered some questions about her efforts to raise breast cancer awareness, her son's arrival and her visit to Stamford.
Christina Hennessy: You've been so open about your life and your struggles, sharing you and your husband's attempts to have a baby and your battle with cancer. Were you hoping to help others through difficult times by sharing yours?
Giuliana Rancic: Absolutely. While I was going through IVF treatments, miscarriage and breast cancer diagnosis, I was unsure about whether or not to come forward publicly. It took a little time and several long talks with my husband Bill, but ultimately I realized that I have an amazing platform through "E! News," "Fashion Police" and "Giuliana & Bill" to reach many, many women around the world. I realized that it was important to use that platform to spread awareness and information about women's issues that so many of us face. If sharing my story helped even one person, then it was worth it.
CH: Since you were diagnosed with the disease last year, it appears as though it is very important for you to connect with others. I imagine early detection is an important topic for you to discuss, but do you make sure to talk about other issues concerning the disease?
GR: Absolutely. I make it a point to not only share my personal story, but I plan to share everything that I have learned since going through it. I have worked very closely with a fantastic organization out of Chicago called Bright Pink and have learned so much through them. For more information, visit bebrightpink.org.
CH: You and your husband recently became parents for the first time. What has your son brought you, in terms of how you look at the world and what you hope to accomplish?
GR: Duke has changed our lives in every possible way. Once we laid eyes on him for the first time, nothing else in the world mattered. It was definitely the best day of our lives. We are enjoying every moment with him and are so excited for what the future has in store for our family. It has been everything we could have hoped for and more.
CH: You received bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism. Did you always know you were going to get into entertainment news?
GR: When I first started, I wasn't sure what type of program I wanted to work on, but after a few months working on Capitol Hill, I knew that I wasn't cut out for it. Upon hearing that I had asked Sen. Ted Kennedy what he liked to do for fun on the weekends, my professor told me that I belonged in Hollywood not Washington, D.C.
CH: You wear plenty of hats now -- author, producer, reality TV star -- but did you grow up thinking you wanted to be something else? Or, did you have a Plan B if the journalism did not work out?
GR: I always knew I wanted to be an anchorwoman. In elementary school, I remember going around the classroom and everyone had to say what they wanted to be when they grow up. I confidently said that I was going to grow up to be a television anchorwoman one day. It is all I have ever wanted to do. Becoming a fashion designer and producer are all added bonuses, but anchoring on TV was always my goal.
CH: As I write this, it is the same day (Tuesday, Oct. 2) that season six of "Giuliana & Bill," is to premiere. You must hear from fans on a daily basis. What has the experience of reality television been like for you?
GR: Being on reality TV has been great. "Giuliana & Bill" has given me an incredible platform to share my story, good and bad, with many people around the world. I have so many people come up to me and tell me that my story prompted them to go get a mammogram or encouraged them to explore different fertility options. I can't even describe how much that means to me.
CH: What can the audience expect at the "Girls' Night Out" event?
GR: At "Girls' Night Out" I will be sharing the story of my journey to where I am today and I am also excited to be doing a Q&A. I love hearing straight from the audience.

EGG HARBOR TWP.Increased security patrols by police and bomb-sniffing dogs were instituted today at Atlantic City International Airport after the federal government increased the threat level to orange for all commercial aviation operating domestic U.S. flights.
Law enforcement officers from the Egg Harbor Township police department and the State Police, some with bomb-sniffing dogs, are continually sweeping the terminal, parking lots and the 10-mile perimeter area of the airport.
In addition, all vehicles currently parked or entering the airport are being screened, commercial and airside deliveries are being searched at a designated location, and the short-term parking area has been moved to 300 feet beyond the terminal building.
Since 5 a.m. this morning, ACY Customer Services staff have been greeting travelers at the door with flyers outlining increased security measures implemented by the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration.
Under this order, all liquids and gels are prohibited at the screening checkpoint and on board the aircraft. These items include beverages, shampoo, perfume, suntan lotion, cream, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency. These items can only be stored in checked baggage.
In addition, secondary screening has been implemented at ACY in the upstairs area where passengers await boarding.
Although all outgoing flights at ACY are on-time, travelers are being urged come to the airport two hours ahead of their flight to have adequate time to get through the heightened security. In addition, all customers are being urged to check with their airline about any possible delays caused by the ripple effect of delayed flights in other cities.
We were able to respond very quickly and comprehensively to this increased threat level ACY Airport Director Thomas Rafter. The bottom line for us it that we are taking every possible measure to ensure the safety and security of our passengers.

Cross Country All-America, 1977
Track All-America, 1978
AAU 10K National Champion, 1978
Ellison Goodall Bishop is one of the most celebrated female runners at Duke, and she is only the second woman to be inducted into the Hall. She earned track All-America honors in 1978 and cross country All-America accolades in 1977. In addition, she was an AAU National Champion and holds four outdoor school records.
Capturing her first major race in 1977, Goodall Bishop won the 1500 meters at the Colonial Relays and also finished fourth in the AIAW cross country national championships in that same year. A non-scholarship athlete who was at Duke before the school had a women's track program, she made her major mark in the sport in a six-day period in early June of 1978, when she came in fourth place at the Central Park Mini-Marathon in New York City with a time of 33:17 over the 6.2 mile course. She then captured the AAU 10,000-meter title in Los Angeles with a time of 33:44.2.

The Gastronomic Ruminations of a Competent Cook.
Recipes and Recollections from a Culinary Family
About this blog...
Food has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. Food and the festivities surrounding its arrival to the table has always been a focal point in our family. For many years I have been amassing the cookbooks, recipe cards, cooking journals, diaries, manuscripts and clipping files of our once extensive family.
Personally, I've been professionally involved with food for over 40 years in numerous and varied culinary capacities across the country so I also have the collected stories, as well as current and on-going food-related experiences from my own life I'd like to share.
My idea has long been that someday I would bring all of this marvelous raw material together into a culinary journey through our family's heritage. This journal is the beginnings of that journey.

Feb. 26 marks the 35th anniversary of the Youngstown train derailment, a deadly accident that claimed several lives.
EDITOR�S NOTE: This is the first of a three-part article on the Youngstown train derailment of Feb. 26, 1978.
Feb. 26 marks the 35th anniversary of the Youngstown train derailment, a deadly accident that claimed several lives.
Doug Davis, retired vice president and chief engineer of the Bay Line, recalled the tragedy in 1978, which to him remains as clear as if it happened yesterday.
When Davis began his 44-year career with the railroads an old railroader told him �to remember if he received a phone call in the middle of the night, they weren�t calling to tell him he was doing a good job. It most likely will be a railroad problem, sometimes a serious one. Always be ready to go quickly and stay a long time.�
The advice stayed with him. He remembered these words, and it was his first thought when he heard the phone ring in the middle of the night, a short time after 3 a.m. The call notified Davis that Extra 510 South of the Atlanta & St. Andrews Bay Railway (the Bay Line road train) had derailed near Youngstown and chlorine was leaking.
�I remember the names of the train crew, other company employees and other personnel from the many agencies that came to the site or were affected by the derailment. I will not identify any personally to protect their privacy.�
The derailment did not occur in Youngstown. It happened at Couch, which is located approximately 0.8 mile north of the Youngstown city limits. Crouch was an industrial site of 10 acres owned by the Couch Construction Co. of Dothan, Ala. It had a side track, 1,184 feet in length on the west side of the main line. It was used for unloading stone and other materials. The main line paralleled U.S. 231 and was located 800 feet east of this main highway. The south switch at Couch was located at railroad mile post 22.5 with the zero mile post at Sixth Street and Beach Drive in Panama City.
Earlier Derailment
�It will always be my personal opinion that the Youngstown derailment story had its beginning at this south switch at Couch in the latter part of the 1976. At that time, I received a railroad call around 8:30 p.m. that the Extra North had derailed at Couch,� Davis said.
�Upon arriving at Couch, I learned that the derailment was caused when unknown vandals had smashed the old-style Adlake switch lock off the main line switch stand and lined the switch so the train would enter the siding instead of continuing up the main line.�
The only thing that saved a major disaster in this derailment was the alertness of the locomotive engineer. He saw the reflection of a red target on the switch stand in his headlight and immediately put his train into emergency by fully applying the air brakes. The speed of the train, which was moving at 49 miles per hour, was reduced sufficiently to allow the five locomotives to enter the side track and remain upright. However, 24 empty rail cars were derailed.
Since it is a federal crime to interfere with interstate commerce, the FBI was called. Davis said they had recovered the battered switch lock, but it was impossible to recover fingerprints. �I worked with a local FBI agent on that case. He had noted some dirt bike tracks near the switch that led down the right-of-way to Youngstown. He interviewed a suspect at the house where the tracks led. No charges were filed. The suspect was killed in the big derailment after five young people in an old Mercury Cougar parked near the U.S. 231 entrance to Couch and walked toward the (1978) derailment a short time after it happened. They were overcome by the cloud of chlorine that was leaking. Two or three of the young people in the car survived.�
The 1978 Derailment
It was a cold, foggy Sunday morning on Feb. 26, 1978 when it happened. A slight breeze was blowing from east to west during which time a flurry of activities took place between the wreck and dawn. The road train locomotives and caboose were equipped with modern two-way radios. At the time of the wreck, no one was on duty to receive any radio communication from the crew.
When Extra 510 South finally stopped, the conductor and rear brakeman on the caboose communicated with the engineer and head brakeman on the locomotives by radio. At that time, no crew members were aware that chlorine (chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas that is heavier than oxygen) was leaking.
�The conductor and rear brakeman walked to a closed store at Linger Longer Road to report the derailment. While they were trying to awaken the store owner, a deputy sheriff driving on U. S. 231 observed this activity. He thought that burglars were trying to break into the store and stopped to investigate,� Davis said.
By the time some realized that the train had derailed, a cloud of deadly chlorine was drifting across U.S. 231 in the Couch area. Several people were already in trouble. The deputy radioed the Sheriff�s Office who contacted ambulances, rescue personnel and additional help to evacuate the area and set up road blocks on the highway. Railroad employees were also alerted.
Chlorine Cloud
�The conductor and rear brakeman stopped traffic on the highway north of the accident. The brakeman made several trips into the chlorine cloud to lead stranded motorists to safety. These two crewmen saved many people from death or serious injury. The rear brakeman told me later that some of the motorists would not heed his advice and drove south into the deadly chemical cloud. Others driving north, whose cars did not stall, stopped and asked what the gas was and continued their trip.�
The engineer and head brakeman left the lead locomotive to shut down the diesel engine of the second locomotive, which was still running. Both of the employees carried their portable two-way radios with them since it was their only means of communication.
�While the men were at the second locomotive the chlorine cloud engulfed them. The head brakeman was able to stumble back to the track and walk out of danger south to Youngstown. But the engineer entered the swamp east of the main line and became lost. He could see the chlorine cloud and lay down in a shallow creek with his face to the ground. He was able to communicate with his portable radio but had no idea where he was.�
Lost Engineer
In the darkness, two off-duty Bay Line employees and volunteers with air masks searched but did not find him. The two employees had not been trained to properly use air tanks and one had to be hospitalized for gas inhalation.
�I was at the derailment site the next morning when a helicopter from Tyndall located and rescued the engineer. He lived but was hospitalized for several weeks.
�It was still very dark when I made my first trip into the chlorine cloud. When the conductor and rear brakeman left the caboose, the traiijconsist (makeup or composition of a railroad train) and waybills were left in the caboose. We had to have this information. I had trained with the Scott Air Pack and knew what train information was needed so I headed to the caboose.� After retrieving the paperwork, he decided to take a quick look at the derailment itself.

Weeds are causing John Malazzo to change the way he farms on his cotton, grain, and cattle operation near College Station, Texas.
Malazzo considers himself a cotton farmer — typically planting about 50 percent of his crops acreage in cotton and 50 percent in corn — but herbicide-resistant weed pressure has convinced him of the need to change that ratio a bit next year.
"I plan to increase corn acreage," he said recently, just before welcoming dozens of Brazos Bottoms farmers and other industry representatives to his farm as part of a Monsanto product showcase.
"I'll go to a 60-40 corn/cotton mix next year," he says, "or maybe even 65-35. I don't want weed problems to get out of hand. We have some very effective herbicides available for corn; some of them are deadly on some of the larger weeds."
His plan is to clean up some of those hard-to-manage weeds in corn. "I want to be 100 percent clean in corn, then clean it up again before I plant cotton." He expects that rotation to reduce weed pressure. but knows he'll get other benefits from a better rotation program.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
"There are advantages other than just weed control. Rotation helps the soil, and this will be more important than any other plan we have. Cotton grows better in rotation — we can see a big difference planting cotton behind corn. We also get some additional fertilizer benefit behind corn.
"We're working on the weed issue. We used pre-emergence herbicides for a while, and they worked great, but we switched to Roundup only. Now, we're going back to preemerge materials.
"But even adding preemerge herbicides may not be enough any more. We have to consider several options. We'll go back to using yellow herbicides, like Treflan. We want to start clean and then keep everything clean."
Using a burndown other than Roundup may also be a good idea, Malazzo says. He's had some problems from relying on just one mode of action. "We had one field that got really bad because I couldn't spray for a month. I finally got about an 80 percent kill — but it's the escapes that hurt us."
Farmers with large acreages may not be able to be 100 percent clean, he says, particularly with the current labor situation. That's why he's switching his crop mix to take advantage of corn herbicides and get cotton ground cleaner at planting time.
He's had some challenges getting corn and cotton growing this year. "Corn looks good now, even though we had some freeze damage, but cotton looks rough. We had a lot of early severe weather problems and had to replant a lot of cotton."
Malazzo says he had trouble with wind damage for the first time this year. "We learned what West Texas farmers have to deal with — wind cut cotton off at the ground. I've never had to replant cotton because of wind damage before."
Replanting also put him behind on weed control. "We planted, applied a preemerge, and then got no rain for about three weeks. I replanted, then got 3.5 inches, and the weeds emerged. I've had more weeds than normal."
By mid-June, Malazzo's corn looked good, though he said it needed some more rain. Cotton was catching up, but most observers pegged the crop at about three weeks behind normal.
He's hoping his rotation plan reduces some of the risk next year as he farms with his son, Jason, who is back on the farm after earning an agricultural economics degree from Texas A&M.
"I want to stay on the farm," Jason said.
"He was a day student during his college years," his father says. "He worked here all the time he was in school."

Cattle are considered to be an important reservoir of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) strains that can cause disease in humans, and numerous studies of the prevalence of these strains in cattle (focusing mainly on dairy and beef cattle) have been carried out in different regions of Europe, Asia, and America. To date, only a few studies of veal calves have been published focusing on EHEC strains belonging to the O157 serogroup EHEC, whereas EHEC and VTEC can belong to hundreds of different serotypes (many of which are as dangerous to humans as the O157:H7 EHEC, such as strains of the O26, O91, O103, O111, O113 and O145 serogroups). The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), EHEC, and VTEC strains in veal calves in Belgium and to characterize the positive isolates (serogroups, virulence-associated factor-encoding genes and antibiotic resistance profiles). The prevalence of EPEC, EHEC, and VTEC strains in faecal samples from veal calves in Belgium was found to be 11.7% (6.5% of the calves were found to be positive for EPEC strains, 2.6% for EHEC, and 3.9% for VTEC strains). No O157:H7 EHEC Strain was identified, but three calves were found to carry strains belonging to the O26 and O111 serogroups. The results of antibiotic sensitivity tests showed a high level of resistance (83% of strains were resistant or intermediate resistant to five or more antibiotics of the 13 tested antibiotics), which might be caused by the frequent use of antibiotics in veterinary practice.

The USC drum major did not stab his sword into the Rose Bowlfield Saturday during the Trojan band's pregame performance.
Instead, the drum major marched over toward the Victory Bell, which is retained by the game's winner, and rang it several times before the band performed.
That ended the controversy of the week as UCLA requested the drum major refrain from planting the sword following complaints from Bruins fans. UCLA threatened to ban the band from playing at halftime if it did not comply.
USC band director Arthur Bartner complied because he said he did not want to jeopardize performing at the Rose Bowl.
Although many fans were still outside the stadium, there was plenty of anticipation inside the Rose Bowl. USC fans cheered wildly when the drum major took the field while UCLA fans booed.
It was considered USC's biggest controversy since the previous week, when the Trojans were fined $25,000 by the Pac-12 because a student manager deflated footballs below the NCAA-mandated level during the Oregon game.
The band also performed at halftime and the drum major again refrained from planting the sword, which he did earlier this season when the Trojans played at Stanford. There might have been a bigger reaction but USC's section at one end zone contained plenty of empty seats while a UCLA section also had patches of empty seats.
The game was not considered a sellout.

The pencil-thin president caught the parasites on a trip last year to Hawaii, where he and his family also vacationed over Christmas, according to top political insiders.If that were really true, people would be flocking to Hawaii to get the parasites so they could lose weight. Oh? You think that's absurd? People wouldn't do that? They get surgery on their stomachs— surgery that could kill them — and that only makes them lose weight because they eat less. If there were parasites that made you ultra-thin, people would buy them and swallow them whole. We'd be seeing ads on the internet.
You've heard of tapeworm dieting, haven't you?
Did anybody honest to God think this would work? Answer: Evidently. A few seconds with Google turns up an authentic-looking advertisement for "sanitized tapeworms" ("friends for a fair form") that appears to date from the turn of the last century. A hoax? Maybe, but it convinced at least one medical expert, endocrinologist Zachary Bloomgarden, who in a 2000 article in Diabetes Care wrote, "Approaches to decreasing nutrient absorption date from the early 1900s, when diet treatment with 'sanitized tapeworms' was widely advertised."It's a terrible idea, I hasten to add:
An adult tapeworm can grow up to 50 feet long and live up to 20 years. Tapeworm eggs are even worse, as the larvae that emerge from them are prone to burrow out of your intestines and find homes elsewhere in your body. For example, the pork tapeworm can cause neurocysticercosis, in which the larvae migrate through the stomach or intestinal lining and up into your brain. There they form destructive cysts, triggering immune responses that can lead to epileptic seizures or worse. The cysts formed by sheep tapeworm larvae may reach the size of grapefruit; they can rupture blood vessels when they break, resulting in shock and death.That is the way people think. I say if the National Enquirer were right about the President's parasites, somebody would be selling Presidential Parasites on the internet.
Death, schmeath, you say: will I lose weight?...
And, seriously, I hope the President is okay. And if he's healthy-skinny, he ought to give us some diet tips along with the usual inspiration.
