ATHENS -- Two weeks ago, when Florida cornerback Brian Poole was ejected for targeting in his teams game against Tennessee, the video of Pooles hit quickly made its way to the Georgia defensive meeting room.
I pulled it off and showed it to them, Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. Thats the only way you can learn from something when its new.
And the new rule is continuing to cause confusion and controversy.
So far this year, no Georgia player has been flagged for targeting, which results in a 15-yard penalty and an automatic ejection. To hear Grantham and his players tell it, thats not a coincidence.
The Bulldogs have been hyper-aware of targeting, especially their hard-hitting freshman safety, who says it has affected the way he plays. In fact, Tray Matthews thinks it has something to do why his unit ranks last in the SEC in pass defense and third-down defense.
Maybe were not correct here and there, Matthews said. But maybe some of the rules are hindering us from doing what we wanna do at times.
The intent of the targeting rule is to prevent head injuries. But the application has left many exasperated, including Georgia secondary coach Scott Lakatos.
Nobody knows what the rule is, he said. Whoever you ask theyll give you a different interpretation. So were gonna go out and follow our interpretation. Make sure we dont stick our head anywhere, make sure we dont hit anybody too hard where their head goes backwards, and thats the way the game is now.
Florida head coach Will Muschamp publicly disagreed with Pooles ejection. Upon review, an ejection can be overturned, but the 15-yard penalty cannot. Alabama has had two targeting calls this year. Against Mississippi, freshman cornerback Eddie Jackson had a chance to pull off and should have but didnt, according to head coach Nick Saban. Against Texas A&M, safety HaHa Clinton-Dix was involved in what Saban called a bang-bang play.
There is an awareness in the room, like when were watching film in the room with the players that if they see someone do that, theyre all going, Ooh, thats targeting, Saban said. I think everybody is playing with an awareness of what is the foul and what the consequences of the foul are. I dont see them being less aggressive, but I see them being more aware of, Hey Ive gotta see what I hit, I cant hit guys in the head, I cant launch at unprotected players. And I think thats probably a good thing.
LSU head coach Les Miles, whose defense gave up plenty of big plays to Georgia on Saturday, said he didnt think any of his defensive backs were playing hesitant.
I think the targeting rule is very good for football, Miles said.
Matthews said he was warned by an official during Saturdays game that he was on the verge of a targeting call. As a result, he said, he ended up letting up on what turned out to be an LSU touchdown.
Matthews also said -- and several teammates agree -- that a greater awareness of the targeting rule is the reason he hasnt made that many impact plays. His hard-hitting ways were the talk of spring practice, although a hamstring injury might be the next reason Matthews doesnt make big plays, or any plays, in Saturdays game against Tennessee.
The threat of getting tossed has the most impact. Otherwise, Matthews would risk a 15-yard penalty in order to make a big play or at least send a message.
Yes sir. Of course I would, Matthews said, smiling. I want to keep playing. I told the coaches that, too. I told (Lakatos) I kind of let up on that because I didnt want to be thrown out of the game.
Matthews said he understands the intent of the targeting rule.
Protect the receivers, and us as well, from concussions, Matthews said. But it is football.
Georgia junior Chris Conley is in a unique position. Hes a receiver, and thus the type of player the targeting rule is intended to protect. Hes also a member of the NCAAs student-athlete advisory committee.
Conley grants that the application of the rule is subjective right now. But the long-term effect is important.
We want to reduce this epidemic of concussion, so that younger players who are growing up will continue to play this sport, Conley said. Because were seeing a decline in the number of kids who are playing youth football. And if that trend continues, in 25 years who knows if football will be the same in the United States. So something had to be done and this is what they decided to do. Well know at the end of the year whether it worked or not.

He enjoyed the fellowship with his workers and hearing of their children's games and achievements. After 38 ½ years, Jerry retired from Delco Radio at the age of 56.
Being in good health Jerry and Gloria were able to take several cruises and some overseas tours. One in particular was the trip to the Holy Lands. What a joy this was to walk where Jesus walked. Jerry was very active in church work. He was Sunday school superintendent, deacon, treasurer, youth leader and on the Primetimers committee of Bible Baptist Church.
Son, Jerry, and all of the grandchildren were very active in sports, which Jerry and Gloria followed faithfully, until his health failed. He also loved the fact that the entire family knows the Lord and felt God has blessed us beyond belief.

Flying (Soaring) on the Cheap
The country's in the midst of the "Great Recession" and it costs $250 to fill the tanks on a light airplane. You need some time in the air for "mental heath" but the cost is daunting. What's a person to do?
As a poor college student in the fall of 1959 I faced the same problem. I chose to join a soaring club - the Orange County Soaring Association who based two WWII ex-military 2-seat training gliders, a Pratt Read and an LK-10A , and a single seat Schweizer 1-26 at Skylark Field at Lake Elsinore, CA. I paid OCSA $100 to join and $10 a month in dues. Instruction in the sailplanes went for $0/Hr - something I could afford. A half century of inflation has bumped the membership up to $300 and the dues to $55 but the hourly rate for OCSA's modern fleet of gliders and instruction is still $0. If you're under 22 and a full time student, the cost is about half that. That means you can start learning to fly sailplanes for the cost of a fuel stop. What a deal! See: www.ocsoaring.org
To make things even cheaper, we took camping trips to the El Mirage Dry lake in the Mojave Desert to launch the gliders with auto tows. OCSA still does this except urban sprawl has pushed the camps deeper into the desert. Here's a story from my early experiences with this type of flying.
I rode my motorcycle from Los Angles out to El Mirage Dry Lake in the high desert Friday evening to camp with other OCSA members. Early Saturday, I awoke to the smell of coffee and bacon and the sounds of a campsite coming to life. As I crawled out of my tent I felt the chill of the vast dry lake surface on my bare feet. The sky was a deep blue and the sun was still a ways below the horizon. The smoke from a campfire rose straight up as far as I could see. The rumble of an early '60's muscle car broke the morning quiet.
"Get ready, we're gonna fly", someone shouted. I put on my boots and a jacket against the deserts' morning chill and began to pre-flight the hulking Pratt Read - an unusual sailplane with side-by-side seating and "gull wing" doors. Another pilot jumped in the right seat after offering to share the launch cost.
Satisfied everything was present and working, we strapped into cockpit and signaled our readiness to launch with a thumbs up. Someone snapped a tow wire onto the release hook and leveled the wings and radioed the tow car to start the launch.
The launch began eerily as the glider surged ahead silently with no obvious means of propulsion. We lifted off and slowly rotated into a 45 degree climb at 55mph. As we climbed, the morning twilight dropped away and the brilliant desert sun burst into the cockpit. The climb went on for a couple of minutes topping out 2500 feet above the dry lake bed. I pulled the release when the climb reached zero and slowed to the 42MPH minimum sink airspeed where the sound of the airflow over the glider was barely audible.
The air was velvet smooth and the Pratt Read responded to our fingertips What an incredible way to learn precise stick and rudder flying. After 15 minutes of utter joy, I lined up for a landing. With unlimited 'runway', I decided to play with ground effect. Diving the glider down to a couple of feet above the lake bed, I let it cruise along for almost a mile before the single wheel kissed the fabulously smooth lake bed and rolled to a stop precisely where we had started from. That auto tow cost 50 cents for a ride no Disneyland "E-Ticket" could match.
I opened the gull-wing door and the smells of breakfast again filled my nostrils. I wanted to just sit there and take it in but someone else wanted to fly. I turned the glider over to the next pilot and grabbed breakfast then took my turn running wings and driving the tow car.
Later, when the desert temperature soared into the 100's, huge dust devils churned across the lake bed marking strong thermals. Then a 50 cent auto tow let me fly for hours at 12,000 feet enjoying the cool shade under cumulus clouds.
So, if costs are holding you back, consider a soaring club. The flying and camaraderie are great and the costs are minimal. To get started check out www.ssa.org - on the right side of the web page click the "Fly a Sailplane Today" and the "Find Where to Fly" buttons.

Iliad 10 and the Poetics of AmbushIliad 10 has historically been the epic's most doubted book and the book least likely to be judged "Homeric." In the course of this monograph Dué and Ebbott move beyond what are essentially Analyst or Unitarian positions in order to pose new questions about this poetry. Dué and Ebbott confront deeply entrenched ideas about the Doloneia. Ignoring or only barely acknowledging Iliad 10 is a strategy employed by many scholars, who likely feel they must ignore it so as not to incur the charge of making arguments about Homer based on an "interpolated," "un-Homeric," or otherwise problematic text. Nevertheless, the authors feel that there is an entirely different way of treating this book. Rather than dismiss it as "un-Homeric" or pass over it in silence, they propose to show that Iliad 10 offers us unique insight into such important topics as the process of composition-in-performance, the traditional themes of Archaic Greek epic, the nature of the hero, and the creativity and artistry of the oral traditional language.
Becoming a Citizen and Leader in Ancient Greece and Modern AmericaThis two-day workshop will introduce those with an interest in civic participation and leadership to aspects of democracy, one of the ancient world's most lasting legacies. We will focus on the type of democracy, which the Athenians developed and practiced during the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. No prior knowledge of the ancient world is required. Preparation will involve reading Philoctetes, a play by Sophocles, which Athenians experienced during the Festival of Dionysus in 409 BCE. Philoctetes depicts the coming-of-age story of Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, who wrestles with ethical and political questions about how best to serve his community's cause in the Trojan War. Learn more.The deadline to submit applications: July 11, 2014.
Over the past few weeks, teams of undergraduate researchers and faculty mentors convened at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC for the 2014 Homer Multitext summer seminar. The seminar provided an introduction to fundamental ideas about the oral composition and transmission of the epics, and basic training in editing digital texts. This year's seminar focused on scroll 12 of the Iliad and associated scholia.
The Homer Multitext project, the first of its kind in Homeric studies, presents the textual transmission of the Iliad and Odyssey in a historical framework. It offers free access to a library of texts and images, a machine-interface to that library and its indices, and tools to allow readers to discover and engage with the Homeric tradition.
HMT Editors Casey Dué and Mary Ebbott are working to advance our understanding of oral poetics and multiformity in the Homeric tradition. In a recent post, Dué notes: "One of the central research questions that drives the Homer Multitext is this: 'How do you make a critical edition of an oral tradition, like that of the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey, that spanned a thousand years or more? What is the best way to represent the textual history of songs that were created in and for performance, but survive only in textual forms from later eras?'" Dué and Ebbott are now also "live blogging" about their research on oral poetics. Don't miss their latest post: Walk On Characters in the Iliad!

— Pastured Poultry farm meetingto be held
PERU — The Northern New York Cornell Cooperative Extension Pastured Poultry Project is underway and is providing local small farms with the opportunity to utilize an optimized system for production and marketing of pastured poultry.
A grant from the Northeast Center for Risk Management Education has enabled organizers to put together a fully equipped pastured poultry raising set up for local farms to borrow. All that is asked in return is to participate in record-keeping and outreach activities.
Anyone thinking about raising meat chickens on a bigger scale may attend at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday for an on-farm meeting at Shady Grove Farm & Wellness Center, 844 Route 22B in Peru. Farmer Francisco Braun will share his experiences, and information will be provided about raising meat birds on pasture.
Contact Cornell Cooperative Extension Clinton County at 561-7450 for directions to the farm and to register or e-mail Peter Hagar at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Cuomo announces programs to help state's farms
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has unveiled a variety of measures to support farmers across the state to reduce energy costs, improve business operations and enhance environmental planning. The announcement continues the governor's larger efforts to enable growth in the state's agricultural sector, including last year's Yogurt Summit involving industry leaders, dairy farmers and other stakeholders.
The Dairy Acceleration Program (DAP) will make available $1 million in funding to help dairy farmers develop individualized business and environmental plans. Cuomo also recently signed legislation that supports farmers in their efforts to install anaerobic digesters, which convert farm waste to renewable energy, thereby helping farmers address waste disposal needs and nutrient recycling challenges, while helping them lower their energy bills. To apply for DAP, visit http://ansci.cornell.edu/prodairy/dairy_acceleration.
"New York is proud to be home to a robust agriculture industry that supports thousands of jobs and provides the economic lifeblood for families and communities across the state," Cuomo said. "Over the past two and a half years we have worked hard to support the growth of our already vibrant agriculture industry, including cutting burdensome regulations and helping small dairy farms expand their herds. Today's actions will enable dairy farmers to better plan for future expansions as well as reduce the costs for installing environmentally friendly waste to energy digesters."
Modern milk production requires expertise from a number of disciplines, ranging from agronomics, environmental science, animal husbandry, crop science, human resource management, and financial and strategic planning. Through DAP, farmers will be able to tap into the expertise of the Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) network, Cornell PRO-DAIRY and other agricultural programs to facilitate and grow their business and in turn increase production on their farms.
To be eligible for DAP, a dairy-cattle farm must have complete financial records. Preference will be given to farms with fewer than 300 cows. DAP funding will cover 80 percent of a project's cost.
Payments may include up to $5,000 per farm to write a business plan or develop a combination of a business and facility growth plan and up to $4,500 to update an existing Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) or $6,000 to develop a new one. CNMPs are a conservation system for animal feeding operations designed to address the soil erosion and water-quality concerns. The CNMP encompasses the storage and handling of the manure as well as the utilization and application of the manure nutrients on the land.
Business planning includes financial analysis, farmstead development planning, facility planning and capital investment planning for increased milk production per cow. Environmental planning includes CNMP development and updates. Farms without an existing CNMP can hire a certified nutrient management planner to develop a new CNMP for farms with fewer than 300 cows.

Green Right Now Reports
The two week summit on climate change in Copenhagen wound to a close Saturday with the United Nations issuing a news release that many nations had agreed upon the issues that need to be addressed.
The agreement, seen either as a foothold or a failure in the fight against climate change, fell far short of the hoped-for signed treaty that would have included firm commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the countries around the world.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called it "an essential beginning."
"The importance will only be recognized when it's codified into international law … We must transform this into a legally binding treaty next year," he told the BBC.
The accord provides for industrialized nations to commit to specific emissions reductions targets by stating them within the agreement by the end of January, 2010. The top GHG-polluting nations include China, the United States, Russia, India and Japan, followed by Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Iran.
Here is the news release from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the arm of the UN that oversaw talks:

I've recently "discovered" Node.js, and after I was finished having my mind blown, I started looking for a web application framework like Django or Codeigniter that uses Node.js. The main reasons I found online for using a Node.js-based framework were:
- Impressive scalability and speed, especially regarding simultaneous connections
- Same language on front-end and server allow for code-reuse and better maintainability
- Makes real-time parts of application easy as pie
(If anyone has any other reasons to share, please do so!)
- Are there any others worth looking into?
- Of these two, what are their various strengths / weaknesses, and how do you think they compare to a framework like Django or Codeigniter?
- Finally, what do you think about switching over to a Node.js-based framework for all future web applications?

Cumberland Times-News
FROSTBURG — Melo Trimble was unstoppable and Bishop O'Connell was unbeatable Saturday night at Frostburg State University.
Trimble made the ACIT championship game a personal showcase, had 27 points in the first half and finshed with 34 points, seven assists and six rebounds as the Knights led from start to finish in an 85-75 win over Benedictine in one of the more entertaining tournament finals in the tournament's 53-year history.
Trimble had 17 points and four three-point shots in the first quarter, and at the half was 9 for 11 from the field. The junior guard who has already committed to the University of Maryland, finished 11 for 16 from the field, 6 for 9 from three-point range and 7 of 9 from the foul line in winning tournament MVP honors.
"To all the Maryland fans, I know you want him next year,'' said O'Connell head coach Joe Wootten. "But I'm glad you're not getting him next year.
"He's a tremendous player and I'm so proud of him. I'm proud of this whole team," Wootten continued. "Melo's become the point, and learned how to give the ball up and when to shoot it. The pass he made to Butts for the three-point play at the end was probably the play of the game. Melo has probably 12 30-point games this year. To have 30 and seven assists, that mean's you're a player," Wootten said.
"I'm proud off all the guys. Jamall Gregory had a great tournament, Junior Etou was unbelievable with the blocks and rebounds and Roy Butts had a great year and a very strong championship game tonight."
As defending champions, O'Connell and Trimble will be returning to the ACIT next March.
"I just kept shooting the shots my teammates told me to shoot," Trimble said. "Like the (Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship) St. John's game, I knew I had to turn it up a notch. It was the championship game.
"We came off a loss to Benedictine in the Virginia state finals and that hurt us. We knew we should have won that game but the WCAC took a lot out of us. We wanted a rematch, and we got one."
Nick Coppola of Benedictine was the Most Outstanding Player. Trimble and Coppola were joined on the all-tournament team by Detrick Mostella of La Lumiere, Junior Etou of O'Connell, Kamerin Williams of Mount St. Joe's.
Robert Johnson of Benedictine, Chris Jenkins of Gonzaga, Phil Booth of Mount St. Joe's, Tevan Saddler of St. Frances and Quincy Redmon of Bishop Walsh were named to the second team.
Butts, a 6-foot-7 sophomore, had 21 points, Etou, a 6-7 senior, had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Jamall Gregory seven points and six rebounds for O'Connell (34-5), which shattered a 40-year ACIT record for team shooting percentage in the three games. The Knights were 29 for 41 for the game (70.7 percent) and 75 for 118 (63.5 percent) for the tournament. The previous tournament record was set by DeMatha, at 54.8 percent, in 1973. The single-game record is 72 percent, set by DeMatha in 1973 and matched by Archbishop Carroll in 1997.
Butts and Etou were especially tough inside, Butts shooting 8 of 11 and Etou 7 of 10.
"Melo Trimble is a fantastic player and he was on fire tonight,'' said Benedictine coach Robert Churchwell. "The whole team was pretty much on fire ... they didn't miss much."
Coppola had 22 points and six assists, Robert Johnson 19 points for Benedictine (33-5).
O'Connell led 17-3 after the first 3:30, with Trimble hitting two three-point goals and converting a three-point play during the run. It was 25-19 after the first quarter, 44-36 at halftime and 63-47 heading into the fourth quarter. The lead ballooned to 17, 71-54, after a Gregory shot in the lane with just under five minutes left.
But Benedictine roared back, doing damage with a pressing defense and outscoring O'Connell 13-1 over the next two minutes. Johnson had nine points in the spurt, and a tip-in by Khris Lane chopped the once bloated advantage to only five, 72-67, with 2:45 to go.
Trimble, held to seven points in the second half, drove the lane and fed Butts for a three-point play that made it 76-67, and dished to Etou for another bucket that made it 78-70. Benedictine cut it to five again, 79-74 with 51 seconds left after two foul shots by Coppola, but Butts, Etou and Ako Adams combined to go 6 for 6 from the foul line the rest of the way.
"We didn't shoot very well, and the kids kind of got down at times because our offense wasn't clicking," Churchwell said. "But we did fight back hard, and were right there in the end. I am so proud of our boys. They fought hard."

NORMAN — Romero Osby scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half to lead Oklahoma to an 81-63 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday night at Lloyd Noble Center.
The win lifted the Sooners to 12-3 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12 Conference. They haven't started league play with three straight wins since 2009.
Buddy Hield added 16 points to go along with the freshman guard's team-high seven rebounds. Andrew Fitzgerald came off the bench to add 12 points. Steven Pledger finished with 11 and Cameron Clark tossed in 10.
The Red Raiders (8-7, 1-3) were led by Dejan Kravic's 20-point, nine-rebound effort.

The football teams at Dalton and Northwest Whitfield enjoyed arguably the two best seasons among Region 7-4A teams this year.
The All-Region accolades support that notion.
Dalton leads the way with 10 players honored either as one of the six players of the year or as a member of the first or second team. Northwest follows with nine players, including three as a player of the year, the most of any school. The team was voted on Thursday by the region's coaches.
"We tell our kids, 'When you focus on the team, the individual awards will come,'" Dalton coach Matt Land said. "I think a lot of kids in this society are about self-promotion and Instagram and Twitter and all that stuff. A lot of kids think backwards about self-promotion over making the team better. We're blessed with having a group of kids who put the team first."
Isaiah Mack, Northwest Whitfield's senior defensive tackle, was named defensive player of the year. Teammate Tevin McDaniel, a senior wide receiver and cornerback, shared athlete of the year with Dalton's Eder Mora, a junior who played linebacker, safety, punter and fullback. Miguel Villa, Northwest's senior kicker, was named special teams player of the year.
Mack, who was The Daily Citizen's All-Area Player of the Year last season, wins the top defensive player award for a second straight season. He finished with 121 tackles, 21 of those for a loss, 29 quarterback pressures and four forced fumbles.
"We played 11 games and out of those 11, he only played seven and a half quarter-wise," Northwest coach Josh Robinson said. "We were quick to pull the trigger and get him out when we had a big lead."
Villa made seven field goals and 45 extra points this season. McDaniel finished with 1,252 yards of total offense, scored 15 touchdowns and set a school record for the most receiving yards (915) in a season.
Mora recorded 159 tackles, nine pass breakups, five interceptions, four forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles. On offense, he had 34 rushes for 276 yards and three touchdowns. He also had 20 punts for an average of 40.25 yards per punt.
"There isn't a more team-centered player than Eder Mora," Land said, "and when he leaves, there won't be a more remembered or rewarded player for individual accomplishments as he will be."
Dalton finished the regular season 8-2, won all eight games against region opponents and won the region championship.
Northwest finished the regular season 9-1, the only loss coming to Dalton, and played in the state playoffs for the first time since 2009. Both teams lost in the first round of the postseason.
Dalton has the most players (eight) on the first team. Northwest showcases six, the second most.
"It's two very quality programs that are separated by only a few miles," Robinson said of Northwest's and Dalton's strong showings on the all-region list. "It's very encouraging for the area and a testament to the kind of football going on here and the players we have."
Cedartown running back Nick Chubb is the overall player of the year and Pickens running back Shannon Brooks is the offensive player of the year. Gilmer's Wesley Tankersley is the coach of the year despite Dalton defeating Gilmer twice.
Gilmer was the only one of the region's four playoff teams to reach the second round of the state playoffs.
There were 11 teams in the region. Of the 63 names to receive a player of the year nod or make either the first or second team, 25 represent one of the three region schools in Whitfield County.
Despite winning just two games this season against region foes and finishing 4-6, Southeast Whitfield had six players selected — all on the second team — while Gilmer had seven. Cedartown and Ridgeland each have six players on the list, while Cass has five, Pickens and LaFayette each have four, and Heritage-Catoosa and River Ridge each have three.
"We had a good year," Southeast coach Sean Gray said. "We improved. We battled with some people.
"We have some good players. I'm proud to see we had that many kids make the region team."
Other local players on the first-team offense are quarterback Caleb Shiflett (Northwest, junior); running back Kelvis Rhodes (Dalton, junior); wide receivers McDaniel and Andy Whisenant (Northwest, senior); tight end Chase Westfall (Dalton, junior); and offensive lineman Jake Roberts (Dalton, senior).
Also making the first-team defense are defensive linemen Caleb Bowie (Northwest, senior), Dexter Stamper (Northwest, junior) and Jordan Keener (Dalton, senior); linebackers Mora and Lyle Durham (Dalton, senior); and defensive backs Jordon McKinney (Dalton, sophomore), Nathan Bryant (Dalton, senior) and Jamon Horne (Northwest, junior).
On the second-team offense are running back Jacob Webb (Northwest, senior); tight end Colter Faith (Southeast, sophomore); offensive linemen Hayden Gross (Dalton, junior) and Matt Cloer (Southeast, senior); and kicker Jonathan Sanchez (Southeast, senior).
On the second-team defense are defensive lineman Michael Pearce (Southeast, senior); linebacker Austin Allen (Southeast, senior); defensive back Devonte' Davis (Dalton, senior); and punter Mora.
Making the second team as an athlete is Southeast's Rhett Harper, a senior.
The honorable mention list includes, for Dalton: Jacob Bartoo (fullback, senior), Chris Childs (defensive back, senior), Tyler Noland (athlete, sophomore), Juan Pacheco (offensive lineman, senior), Jay Rockholt (linebacker, senior), Grant Sane (snapper, senior), Elijah Stidmon (defensive back, senior), Dakota Tankersley (offensive lineman, senior) and Chase Todd (defensive lineman, senior).
Making honorable mention for Northwest are Cyrus Addison (linebacker, sophomore), Ross Chadwick (offensive lineman, senior), Blake Frankenberger (offensive lineman, senior), Blake Ownbey (linebacker, junior) and Clay Phillips (defensive back, junior).
Making honorable mention for Southeast are Tyler Brown (running back, sophomore), Blake Foster (athlete, senior), Luis Fraire (defensive back, senior), Anthony Ortiz (defensive lineman, junior), Chaz Payne (wide receiver, junior), Noah Ramsey (offensive lineman, sophomore), Hunter Sanford (offensive lineman, junior) and Will Swantic (quarterback, sophomore).

Eetu Laurikainen of the Swift Current Broncos was named the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the period ending October 7 after winning both his games with a goals-against-average of 1.00 and save percentage of .973.
Laurikainen, playing his first season in the Western Hockey League after an impressive junior career in his native Finland, made 71 saves in two games and backstopped the Broncos to a pair of wins over East Division opponents, including being named Third Star after 46 saves in a 10-1 win over the Saskatoon Blades. One night later he picked up First Star honours in a tight 2-1 win over the Regina Pats after making 25 saves, including 12 in the third period to preserve the win.
Laurikainen, a 19-year-old from Jyvaskyla, Finland, was selected 20th overall in the 2012 CHL Import Draft.

Students explore agriculture using math skills
By ANGIE HAFLICH
By ANGIE HAFLICH
The great outdoors was brought indoors Friday at Victor Ornelas Elementary School as students learned about agriculture, while applying the math lessons they have been studying.
"Farm Bureau and Victor Ornelas are teaming up to help the kids realize that agriculture is the heart of Garden City and Finney County and western Kansas and the world. And we're trying to incorporate math because it's such a big part of that — of the agricultural world — so we're getting math and agriculture put together," said Dianna Deniston, Title I interventionist at the school.
Deniston coordinated the first-ever event, which was sponsored by the Finney County Farm Bureau. Students from Garden City Community College's Collegiate Farm Bureau program, along with local farmers, led a variety of activities in which students used math hands-on in exercises involving milo, soybeans, corn, apples, pumpkins, tractor tires and more.
"Teachers are coming in during their math block and at other times during the day," Deniston said.
Using buckets, Collegiate Farm Bureau students Sammie Leeds and Zach Leininger showed the students the way different careers are linked to farming, and how it takes each to assist farmers in getting crops from the field to the grain bins.
"It's how everybody works together to be successful and to help the farmers, how one depends on the other," Deniston said. "It's kind of like a life cycle for the farmer."
There also was a giant earth balloon, which stood 18 feet tall.
"The Natural Resources Conservation Service is who has the earth balloon, and the kids are actually able to go inside and the earth is on the inside too," said Jennifer Gerber, Finney County Farm Bureau coordinator.
Not only were students able to observe the outside of the earth, they could climb in it and get a better perspective of the continents and water.
Carmen Rhodes of the Finney County Conservation District and Meghan Irwin of the Haskell County Conservation District manned the balloon, instructing students on how to enter and exit safely.
Irwin said they were able to show the students a number of mathematical applications with the earth balloon.
"The blue represents the water, so we asked them, 'How much of the earth is water? What percentage?' and 'So that leaves what percentage for land and of that land, which one do you think is above the equator, and which is below the equator?'" Irwin said.
Nine-year-old Roger Benitez said he was surprised by the amount of water on earth.
"It's mostly water," he said.
He and his classmate, 10-year-old Aaron Segovia, said they had learned a lot from Ag Math Harvest Day and that the activities helped them understand the importance of math.
At another station, Roger and Aaron said they measured corn stalks.
"We did how long would it be, how many people would fit in the corn stalks," Roger said.
Depending on the grade level, each station taught different lessons to students.
"With the pumpkins, the older kids are measuring circumference. The younger kids are just ranking them from smallest to tallest," Gerber said, referring to the pumpkin patch station.
Deniston said the event is aimed toward teaching students how to apply math to real-world situations. It also helped them understand what agriculture means to the area.
"I mean, so many of these kids' parents work at Tyson, agriculture. They drive a truck, agriculture. Their dad is a banker, agriculture." she said. "They're all tied to ag one way or another."

Derry News
---- — There's been a local shift in admission fees, one the community can be proud of.
When runners from toddlers through grandparents gather Thursday for the second week of the Great Derry Track Club's Kids Summer Fun Run, they're asked to bring a food donation with them.
Last year, runners donated nearly 2,300 pounds of food for local food pantries over the course of the six-week series.
Last week, the kickoff race went off, despite the heavy showers that blew through at race time. A healthy 245 pounds of food were collected.
The RC Fly-In, scheduled for this past Saturday and Sunday, didn't want remote-controlled plane enthusiasts to bring cash. Instead, they requested donations for Derry's Sonshine Soup Kitchen. That will remain true when the event is rescheduled next month.
The soup kitchen is a gift itself, serving free hot meals five days a week for nearly 15 years.
Second Chance Ministries invited the community to a free Christian rock concert Sunday. Concert-goers were asked to bring a nonperishable food item for the food pantry.
The list goes on.
If you're hosting an event and can afford to forgo admission charges, think about collecting donations instead.
If you're going to an event that asks for a food donation, calculate what the cost of a ticket might have been and bring that much - or more - in food.
There's a lot to be said for the power of giving.

Township looks at sewer treatment options
ASHVILLE – Gallitzin Township is reviewing options for sewer treatment services as part of Act 537 requirements put in place by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Nearby Ashville's proposed upgrade to that borough's plant has Josh James, project engineer for consulting firm Gwin, Dobson & Foreman, examining the feasibility of "piggybacking" waste flow from Coupon to the upgraded Ashville plant.
The initial Act 537 plan called for Coupon to construct its own treatment facility, but James said that likely won't be possible in the township's current budget.
"If they regionalize, it might make things a lot cheaper for everyone involved in the project," he said.
School features art, music by students
The annual "A Night of the Arts" will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday at St. Benedict Catholic School, 2306 Bedford St., Johnstown.
An art show featuring students in preschool through Grade 8 will be held. After the artwork is judged, winning works from each grade will be displayed in the school.
Light refreshments will be served to accompaniment by student musicians.
After the art show, "Disney's Mulan Jr.," a spring choral concert, will be presented at 7 by members of the school's Genesius Youth Theatre.
The event is free and open to the public.

Transcript Staff
The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Jim Mitchell founded Sooner Carpet Cleaning out of his duplex in 1993 with nothing but a van. The company will celebrate its 20th birthday this month.
During those 20 years, Jim and Carrie Mitchell have expanded to cover much more than carpet cleaning.
The Mitchells said they couldn't be more excited about celebrating their anniversary in partnership with the community.
"We've come a long way since those days," Mitchell said. "We have the community to thank for our success. I couldn't be happier to celebrate our 20th birthday in Norman."
Mitchell has loyal customers dating back to 1994. As Sooner Carpet expanded, the advent of cell phones revolutionized the way Mitchell conducted business. Being able to tend to customer calls instantaneously provided him with a leg up on the competition. Soon, Sooner Carpet was growing at an exponential rate.
In1995, the business relocated. Mitchell hired more employees and added a second truck to better handle the growing number of clients.
Growth continued at a fast rate, and Sooner Carpet Cleaning soon outgrew its space. Mitchell purchased the company's first commercial space on Research Park Boulevard, where Sooner Carpet is located today.
With more space and employees came bigger business ventures. Mitchell expanded to include chimney, air duct and dryer vent cleaning.
Soon, a greater level of education was needed to keep up with growing business demands. In 1998, Jim received certification for Fire and Water Damage restoration.
By 2000, the business had grown to a point where public relations and marketing help was needed. Carrie Mitchell encouraged the creation of a new logo, company handbooks, policies and advertising changes. The Mitchells also became dedicated to the spirit of philanthropy.
A long-standing member of the Norman Chamber of Commerce, Jim Mitchell takes helping others to heart.
"Serving the community has always been a top priority to us," he said. "We feel the need to give back to the community that has given us so much."
The Mitchells began giving back through Rotary, the Chamber and numerous Norman Public School endeavors.
Over the years, Sooner Carpet added an office manager, experienced construction contractor and became an IICRC Certified Firm, requiring Jim Mitchell to pass numerous certifications and provide education to his staff. Continually, Sooner Carpet added various services to their repertoire, including water restoration, tile and grout cleaning, carpet repairs and power washing.
Despite the numerous changes, Mitchell said Sooner Carpet Cleaning maintains an attention to detail and customer service, offering 24-hour emergency service and full-service restoration.
This year, Sooner Carpet became one of eight businesses in the state to achieve ASCS certification. The certification allows Sooner Carpet Cleaning to continue doing what they love: restoring homes to perfect condition, serving the community and helping families in their times of need.
Throughout the last 20 years, Sooner Carpet has undergone numerous changes, including the HVAC ASCS Certification. Sooner Carpet is one of only eight businesses in the state to have such an honor.
Jim Mitchell thinks of it as just another way to better service his customers.
"Our No. 1 goal for the past 20 years has simply been to provide the best quality service to our customers day or night," he said.
Soon Carpet Cleaning is hosting a customer appreciation reception from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Mitchell's Jewelry, 2201 W. Main St., for the company's anniversary.
For more information, call Carrie Mitchell at 329-8999 or visit soonercarpetcleaning.com.

TEAMS: San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs
TEAMS: San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The San Diego Chargers couldn't have asked for a more generous host. Philip Rivers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, and the AFC West-leading Chargers took advantage of six turnovers by the Kansas City Chiefs in a 37-20 victory Sunday. Five of the turnovers came in the first half, when San Diego (3-1) raced to a 27-6 lead, and the Chargers turned the Chiefs' six total takeaways into 24 points. Making his 100th career start, Rivers surpassed the 25,000-yard mark passing while improving to 28-10 against other members of the division. He's also 9-4 against the Chiefs. Jackie Battle had a pair of scores against his former team, and Eddie Royal also caught a touchdown pass. San Diego improved to 8-2 in its last 10 meetings with Kansas City. Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs (1-3), but he had three first-half interceptions. Jamaal Charles, who followed his big game last week at New Orleans with touchdowns rushing and receiving, also fumbled twice. Dwayne Bowe had seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City. In last season's meeting at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chargers gave the game away. The teams were tied in the closing seconds when Rivers fumbled a snap, preventing San Diego from attempting the winning field goal. The game went to overtime and the Chiefs ultimately prevailed. The regular officials were back on the field Sunday, and both teams kept referee Bill Leavy's crew busy. They combined for 15 penalties for 150 yards. Chiefs safety Eric Berry was flagged twice for pass interference on the Chargers' opening possession, and Rivers capped off a 76-yard drive with a rather elementary pass to Royal for the touchdown. Then the cacophony of errors truly began for Kansas City. Cassel's third pass of the game was intercepted by Eric Weddle, giving San Diego the ball at the Chiefs 28. Four plays later, Nick Novak's 25-yard field goal made it 10-0. On the Chiefs' next possession, Charles was stripped of the ball by Takeo Spikes on the first play after a false start. San Diego took over at the Chiefs 5, and Battle pounded forward twice to give the Chargers a 17-0 lead -- all before Kansas City had run five offensive plays. The Chiefs have been outscored 41-6 in the first quarter this season. Charles fumbled again midway through the second quarter, but this time the Chargers gave it right back. Rivers underthrew Robert Meacham, and Brandon Flowers made the interception. Kansas City managed to go 85 yards in just five plays, Charles providing the highlight on an electrifying 37-yard touchdown run. But the momentum was squandered on the its next possession, when Cassel threw well behind Tony Moeaki, and Chargers linebacker Donald Butler grabbed hold of the deflection and waltzed 21 yards untouched to give San Diego a 27-6 lead. Cassel threw his third INT deep in San Diego territory near the end of the half. The Chiefs put together a long drive to start the third quarter, and Charles' 13-yard TD catch with 8:40 left gave the hardy Kansas City fans still sticking around reason to believe that yet another big comeback could be at hand. But after rallying from a franchise-record 18 points down to beat New Orleans last Sunday, the Chiefs couldn't stop giving away their chances of getting back in the game.

The storewide event has a luau theme and will include discounts, drawings, refreshments and the newest lines in store. Trust me, I just popped in a couple days ago and loved so much of what I saw. No word on whether they'll really go for it with leis and maybe a roast pig, but fingers crossed.

July 24, 2014
HARRISONBURG, Va. -- A family friendly New Year's Eve celebration is just around the corner, but volunteers are needed to make sure First Night happens without complications.
Volunteer Coordinator Roberta Fernandez said they still need about 50 more volunteers.
Two years ago, First Night was canceled because there weren't enough people to help. Fernandez said the event isn't at risk this year, but volunteering is a good way to get involved and give back to the community.
"These are hard economic times and for a lot of people they don't have money for entertainment. This is a time to come together, to see your neighbors, maybe people you don't normally see," said Fernandez.
She said volunteers will only work for about three hours and they will get into the event for free.
You can find out how to become a volunteer on this website: First Night Harrisonburg
