He wants to go from a closer who recorded 85 saves in 99 chances over the last three seasons into the Cubs rotation as a starter. Dempster's goal will be to pitch 200 innings, a plateau he reached three times while a starter with the Marlins and Reds from 1998-2003. "Dempster wants to start. We're going to let him compete. If he shows us midway through spring training that he can do it, then we'll figure out the back end of it [the rotation]," Piniella said.

The Cardinals wasted no time handing out Scott Rolen's old number. Newly signed reliever Ron Villone arrived at spring training camp Wednesday and was given jersey No. 27, previously worn by the third baseman dealt to Toronto in the offseason.

Santorno's academic justification at last week's school board meeting was weak (the claims made are nothing a community school wouldn't do 10 fold) and her analogy to her own children was disappointing. I don't think of a junior cheerleader as the kind of mentoring a middle school male needs to stay focused. Yikes. If this is such a good idea, why isn't anyone doing it elsewhere? It looks like, smells like, and acts like costs saving masquerading as student benefit. Why wasn't a plan to give Sealth a Taj Mahal of their own created? Certainly the architectural lack of merit of their building must have at least whispered a tear down at which point cost would be contained by new building construction costs. This is in striking contrast to the complexities and astronomical costs of remodel associated with projects like Roosevelt, Garfield, and Hamilton which I guess from the era they were built gives them something warm and fuzzy to hang onto and go to the bank with.

Chances for happiness Beth Anthony hears Mike before she sees him. In 1997 she is a new teacher at Berry Elementary in North Charleston. She's spent more than a dozen years working in some of the county's toughest schools. But she can't ignore the piercing screams and tears of this little boy curled under the cafeteria table, even as everyone sitting around seems to be doing just that. The other teachers tell Beth that Mike often throws such fits and that she shouldn't concern herself. Beth peers under the table. Her gaze locks on a pair of watery brown eyes. The boy's clothes are filthy and he has no socks. "Hey, Mike," Beth coaxes. "I'm new here, and I need your help. Could you show me the way to the parking lot?" Silence. Then, Mike's sobbing subsides and he reaches for Beth's outstretched hand.
