Subsidized vs. unsubsidized loans
Subsidized Stafford Loan
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
|Based on financial need
|Not based on financial need
|The federal government pays the interest on the loan while you are enrolled in school at least half-time.
|Interest begins accumulating as soon as funds are disbursed until the loan is paid in full. Accrued interest will be added to the balance of the loan. (You are not required to pay the interest while you are in school, but we recommend that you do.)

How to apply
You will automatically be considered for the Stafford loan if you submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
How to accept and receive your loan
If you are a first-time borrower, you will need to accept your loan.
Use your Federal Student Aid PIN (the PIN you used for the FAFSA) to sign into StudentLoans.gov and follow the instructions to:
- Complete your Entrance Counseling
- Sign your Master Promissory Note (MPN)
In most cases, you will only need to complete entrance counseling and sign an MPN once during your college career.
Financial aid made easier!
Listen to our 90 Seconds or Less podcasts on the MPN and Entrance Counseling
If you have technical difficulty signing the MPN, please contact the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Loan Applicant Services at 800-557-7394.
Understand net vs. gross loan amounts
Your Stafford loan will appear on both the Student Aid Summary and Bursar Tuition Bills section on eLion; however, the loan amounts will be different. The loan amount on the Student Aid Summary is the gross amount. In contrast, the Bursar Tuition Bills section will reflect the net amount after the loan origination fees have been deducted. Once you have accepted your loan and completed your registration, funds will automatically disburse to your student account after classes begin.
Example 1
You are awarded a $2,750 subsidized Stafford loan for one semester
- $2,750 is your gross loan amount
- $2,721 is your net loan amount that will disburse to your student account (gross amount minus the origination fee)
Example 2
You are awarded a $1,000 unsubsidized Stafford loan for one semester
- $1,000 is your gross loan amount
- $990 is your net loan amount that will disburse to your student account (gross amount minus the origination fee)
Decrease or cancel your loan
To decrease or cancel your loan, log into eLion and select "Loan Decrease" from the "Financial" menu. If you are a new student, this option will be available after your Penn State Access Account is activated during the New Student Orientation or at a Penn State Access Account Signature Station.
Loan proration for graduating borrowers (undergraduates only)
If you are a graduating senior and only attending one semester, your Stafford loans may be prorated based on the number of credits for which you are enrolled. This means that you may not be eligible to receive your maximum annual loan limit.
Loan proration applies only to undergraduate students; it does not apply to graduate or professional students.
This affects students enrolled for only one final semester in an academic year: either fall-only, spring-only, or summer-only. For example, this will not affect students who are enrolled in fall and spring semesters and graduate at the end of the spring semester.

We Are Sorry We Left You Off Our List Of Hottest Conservatives, Steven Crowder
Your Wonkette did something terrible this week, and it is time to get our Step Eight on, and make amends. In our post about the seven hottest conservative men to have judged the 20 hottest conservative women, we left out Steven Crowder.

PORTLAND -- Grant student Leah Alpern explained why the staff of the school magazine wanted to write a 10 page report on hazing at the high school.
"The point was to say why do students think this is okay?"
Read the Grant Magazine stories on hazing
The school was rocked by a January hazing incident which turned into an investigation for the sex crimes unit last month.
Portland Police turned the results of that investigation over to the District Attorney's office.
The D.A.'s office will not charge anyone with an adult crime but says it has turned the investigation over to the juvenile division.
"We think it's pretty much done. It's clear it's been turned over to juvenile authorities and we don't expect anything to come of that," said Dave Austin, a parent and advisor to the school magazine.
The Grant magazine report describes the locker room incident involving six J-V basketball players. It says two players were flickering the lights while two other players attacked two teammates.
"A lot of hazing involves joking around and then someone takes it too far and that's what happened in this situation," said student Ruby Sutton who writes for Grant Magazine.
The magazine's advisor offered his assessment,
"I think what happened was a fight in the locker room and that alerted the administration that there were things about the culture of our school that needed to change."
The journalism students say things have changed.
"I know speaking to one of the victims the students involved are trying to move forward and want to maintain good relationships with each other," said student writer Hanna Olson.
The two victims and three of the accused went through mediation. A fourth suspected attacker was expelled from Grant.
The Grant Magazine report also looks at the influence of pop culture which the students say can make questionable actions seem acceptable
"Now I know to look for traditions crossing the line," said student Emma Decker.
Student Ryan Yambra agrees, "We all need to stand up for each other and the students at Grant are ready to do that."
Editor's note: KGW previously aired an interview with a woman who identified herself as a relative of one of the hazing victims. KGW removed the story from its website when the woman's identity and report could not be corroborated by other sources.

What brought you back to New Jersey?
I grew up around a very big extended family. I think Patti and I have maybe seventy family members, just in this area, and there's a lot of Italians and also an Irish side. At some point, when the children got to school age, we decided we wanted that for the kids. We were always here half the year anyway, even then. So when we came back, my kids grew up around my uncle that hunts, the one that owns the dry-cleaning business – people who do all different kinds of work and bring all kinds of things to them. It took away the weirdness of my job, and it allowed them to look other places for all different kinds of role models. That was important.
Then we came back, and I re-found the freedom in some of my early narrative, and that includes here in this building and this town and in my band. I feel the freest I've ever felt in my life creatively. I feel like I've picked up a thread that I never let go of but just let sit for a while.
And I feel like we're very on it right now. This is going to be the best E Street Band somebody's ever seen. You may have a favorite part of my work, you may have a favorite show, but if you're a young kid and your brother or your dad saw us, and you come and see us now, you can say, "I saw them when they were at their best." I like that. I like the fact that all my guys are out there and that they're all alive. I like that a lot. It could have gone many other ways. There were struggles, the same type of troubles that many other bands have, but people took care of one another, and everybody's there. I can't tell you the joy of standing next to those same people.
Some of whom have been with you for more than three decades.
I met Steve [Van Zandt] when I was sixteen. Now I'm fifty-eight. So that's more than forty years. It's an amazing thing to be up there with your best friends and your wife. Your whole world's up there. I think for a lot of our fans, part of the thing is when the world's falling apart, we're not. That's why people come to us. There was always a sense of stability and continuity and connection.
It sounds like something you've been able to provide for both your families – your family onstage and your kids.
You've got to have the whole picture at this point. You need the fullness of life. Without that, it's an exercise. You don't want the things that you're writing and singing about to remain an abstraction to yourself. I always liked the scene at the end of The Searchers: John Wayne brings the girl back home, but he can't enter the house himself. Very tragic. That was always really resonant for me. I grew up with a lot of that, people not being able to get in, and that was always my natural state.
I think that because I had a bit of a chaotic heart myself, I always was in search of that stability. It's in "Leah," on Devils & Dust: "I walk this road with a hammer and a fiery lantern/With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned." I think everybody feels those two things. It's just how you balance them. There's a lot of fire in the burning, but it don't do you any good if you ain't got the hammer for the building.

Phoenix Staff Writer
Muskogee County Election Board officials said 1,308 people turned out for early voting Friday.
Those numbers put the early voting on target to at least meet the number that voted early in the 2008 election when President Barack Obama faced John McCain, said Ellen Thames, who has served as a clerk for 40 years at the election board.
Thames has seen many presidential elections and said the 2008 election was one of the biggest turnouts she ever saw.
Before 2008, Thames said she usually saw an average of 800 or so voters turn out for early voting.
The 2008 election also saw a record number of registered voters turn out in the county, according to data from the Muskogee County Election Board.
In 2008, there were 41,804 registered voters in Muskogee County. Of those, 65.62 percent, or 27,432 voted in the general election.
Obama didn't take the popular vote in Muskogee County in 2008, with 42.49 percent compared to McCain's 57.51 percent.
Of the 27,432 voters in the 2008 election, 35.71 percent of Republicans voted straight party, while 64.29 percent of Democrats voted straight party.
Rhonda Bemo, a clerk for 23 years with the election board, said the morning had been pretty busy, with sporadic busy moments through the day.
Though there is a large ballot this year with the sheriff's race and several state questions in addition to the presidential race, voting moved swiftly, she said.
Early voting continues from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today at the election board and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.

I am trying to make sense of all the various sub-genre descriptions of music within the broad Country genre. No Depression appears to believe that Americana and Alt-Country are interchangeable. But where does Country-Rock sit and then what about Alt-Country Rock. AMG says that Americana has different roots from Country-Rock, and doesn't seem to have a category of Alt Country-rock. Personally I believe that Americana is a much broader genre, currently on a par with Country as a major category, and one that includes all the sub-genres including Alt-Country, Country-Rock, and Alt Country-Rock, as well as several others. However I am open to other suggestions.
If anyone can respond I would be very grateful
Tony Simmonds
[I have written a doctoral thesis based on Country-Rock and I am now trying to plan a book on Americana]
Views: 870
Do you think Neil Young & Crazy Horse is "Americana"? Why or why not? (That release may be the tongue-in-cheek answer to your question.)
@ Will James:
I would say Jerry Lee, Little Richard and Chuck Berry could definitely qualify. Jerry Lee took a mixture of Country/Black Juke Joint and Gospel music and mixed it together to create his sound. Little Richard mixed Gospel, Juke Joint Blues and Piedmont Blues styling's and made up his sound. Chuck Berry Mixed Kansas City Blues/jazz and Country to get his sound.
I personally don't consider Rock n Roll in itself a core American music because by it's nature it's already a mix of core music's. So Led Zeppelin wouldn't qualify IMO because their sound is not core based.
Everyone has their own definitions but I try to take music back fairly far. The reality is that at a certain point it's purely conjecture. It's like someone saying certain music came from the Caribbean and assuming it's African American yet most of the slaves coming to the colonies in the late 1600's to early 1700's were actually Irish slaves sold into slavery by Cromwell. There were also African slaves arriving at the same time. So who did what is up for a good guess at best.
My own feeling is that there was American folk music that was seperated during the time during and after Reconstruction. Then we have rejoined the music in the past few decades. JIMO
Zepp isn't blues-based? Coulda fooled me.
I'm almost being forced to say I like the way the industry used to do things. I don't need a scholarly dissertation to know to go to the r'n'r bin for Chuck Berry. I'm not saying these discussions aren't fun for some, but, hey, "It's only rock and roll but I like it."
And I love country. And imo, both seem to be dead or dying, and in general I don't see Americana as a replacement for either. (I do point to exceptions such as JTE's performance of "Harlem River Blues" on Letterman, ck YouTube, pure country with just the right amount of pure, genuine and yes innocent energy. That one performance, not everything I hear him do. That's how you do it.)
oops - forgot to add @Tony Simmonds
Tony, for whatever it's worth, this question pops up around here a few times annually and I myself was guilty of raising the same question a while back. Follow this link to the piece I wrote: http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/pet-peeve-the-term-ameri... If you are interested enough to read through 8 pages of comments I think you'll see that "Americana" means very little, despite being widely used and misused. Rob Bleetstein, who first used the word "Americana" to describe music was among those who commented and his reply is cut and pasted here. Clearly the word "Americana" took on a life of it's own after Rob's initial intent - as a playlist.
Far be it from me to stir the pot on this old subject. Ahem.
Could it be that part of what determines the Americana Genre is intent? ....For instance, bands like Old Crow Medicine Show, Ray Lamontagne, Steve Earle etc etc are "Americana" in the sense the blend music with an intent of paying respect or homage, or whatever you want to call it to the past...I almost feel like a big part of Americana is Nostalgia, both in feel, sound, and lyrics.....
However, I would then consider artists like Jerry Lee, Little Richard and Chuck Berry are not Americana base on the fact they were blending sounds pushing the envelope in new directions developing Rock'n'roll.
Artists like The Band, would still be considered Americana because of lyrical nostalgia and homages.
This is just kind of a developing theory of mine so, go easy. lol
Kind of sounds like "the medium is the message" in a way, doesn't it? That's a whole other discussion in and of itself, but a good one worth having. I think there's something to it.
The genres of Country, Rock, Country - Rock, Folk , Bluegrass, Jazz et al have been overlapping for decades. Takes a lot of guts to write a thesis trying to make sense of it all! A definition of Americana becomes all the more difficult when you add in the foreign influences in instrumentation alone. The Guitar is ancient. A fretted Guitar like instrument was found in a tomb 3,000 years old. The Mandolin can trace it's roots to Arabia, refined in Italy after the Moors invaded. Gibson in America took it further with new very radical designs. (A flat back i.e.) The Banjo is a North African instrument. The fiddle from middle-ages Europe. Americana? Seems to me it's the Melting Pot of musical genres, like our country itself. Is Americana one thing, or everything? Better left to the scholars, like Tony. Good luck sir. Daunting task.

The past year has seen a great deal of growth and expansion with the Caledonian Health Center's newly-opened Outpatient Dental and Oral Surgery facility. The new nine-chair facility is now open everyday, Monday though Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering comprehensive dental and oral surgical services.
According to Dr. Dym, Chairman, Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Felipe DeJesus II is the capable Outpatient Dental and Oral Surgery facility's Office Manager and Administrative Coordinator of the Caledonian Site. Mr. DeJesus went to school at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and has been with the facility for approximately one year.
In addition, the facility is proud to feature many fine physicians and staff members. Born in Taiwan and raised in Flushing , Queens, Dr. Edward Yuan is Caledonian's Dental Facility Director. Adds Dr. Dym, "He is an excellent restorative dentist in addition to being an educator. Ed is deeply dedicated to the program and recently married." Dr. Ricardo Boyce has also recently joined our team at Cale. Originally from Panama city and raised in the south side of Chicago , Dr. Boyce is a member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Oral Medicine, New York State Dental Association, and the Second District Dental Society. Explains Dr. Dym, "He has quickly acclimated to the facility and its patients. In addition, Maureen (Pam) Savory, our front desk registrar, is another integral part of our Cale team. Poised, calm and professional, she makes all patients feel welcome and at ease."
The Caledonian Health Center 's Outpatient Dental and Oral Surgery facility now boasts:
* Two full-time general dental attendings
* Two general practice residents (ADA-approved general practice program)
* A teaching center for post-graduate endodontic students from NYU Dental School
* A teaching center for senior NYU Dental Students
* Part Time Dental Hygienist/Dental Education
The newly-appointed dental suites run on an appointment basis to help significantly lower waiting time. The facility is manned by expert general dentists as well as specialists in Oral Medicine, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Endodontics and Implantologists. "The Dental and Oral Surgical Department is committed to extending state-of-the art therapy to the patients we treat and in turn, has established a comprehensive implant restorative program for our patients, in addition to our many other services," explains Dr. Dym. "The implants are placed by our Senior Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residents with direct supervision by our Attending Staff at greatly reduced outpatient fees. All implants placed at our dental facilities are ultimately restored by our general dentists."
Additionally, the site functions as an educational facility with New York University Dental Students assigned for an educational opportunity and experience, alongside the American Dental Association-approved Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and General Dentistry practice Residents. Dr. Dym explains, "The collaborative effort (between Cale and New York University ) helps to recruit capable residents from NYU dental school to go through our resident program, as well as increasing productivity and the academic climate of the current program."
Furthermore, the facility has received two significant grants from the Littauer Foundation that has enabled the Cale Health Center to purchase state-of-the-art dental equipment. The site also features:
* Oral medical specialists
* Oral & maxillofacial specialists
* Root canal specialists
* Periodontal specialists
* Bleaching and teeth whitening
Explained Dr. Dym, "We also have the ability to treat all aspects of patients with oral pathology as well as patients in need of specialized jaw surgery (known as orthognathic surgery).The facility is also capable of treating patients with mental, emotional & physical handicaps, and is utilized as a referral site for many federal state & city health care agencies. In addition, we also have a very active HIV clinic with a dedicated hygienist, Ms. Irena Katrikh, who works closely with Mr. Dan Sendsik of the Path Center ." Dr. Dym notes that patients with compromised medical/health histories and even those with dental phobias are all handled and fully treated in the new facility. The site also has the ability to treat patients who require sedation/general anesthetics if necessary. Dr. Dym also added, "We also recently acquired a specialized laser teeth-whitening system - ZOOM II® - which we are offering to our community patients at a greatly reduced cost."
Dr. Dym noted that the facility has doubled its volume over the last year - they are currently seeing approximately 500 patients per month, roughly 6,000 patients a year. With this rapid increase in patient volume, explained Dr. Dym, the number of dental assistants has grown to four full-time people. "We are proud to proclaim that these four assistants - Ada Fulmore, William Gilmore, Carla Morgan and Dolores Winston - are graduates of the combined TBHC/1199 Federal Waiver Trainee Program, initiated through the combined efforts of HR Administration and the Dental & Oral Surgery Department."
"The Caledonian Health Care Facility and Dental Clinic is a combined product of Mr. Samuel Lehrfeld and Jonathan Weld's vision and foresight into paving new health inroads in the community, and for recognizing the vital importance that quality dental care means to one's overall health & image," explained Dr. Dym.
"Though all beginnings are difficult, I feel that our new dental facility will become a paradigm for community dental care, and I am deeply proud of the work and contributions of our dedicated dental & oral surgery team. The success of our facility is directly related to their dedication & hard work."
In retrospect, Dr. Dym added, "Finally, we know that the facility is top-notch, since many of the Board of Trustee members have not only visited the facility, but are also active patients."

By Rebecca Lindamood, Local columnist
---- — It's true what they say; there are very few things in life that are certain. The sure bets are death, taxes and the fact that everyone else in the household will suddenly have to use the toilet urgently the second you shut the bathroom door behind yourself.
I have one more item for the inevitability category. When produce is coming on great guns and it's time to give the canner its annual stress test, it is going to be the hottest stretch of weather in memory. The bushel of peaches arrives on a day that is 95 degrees with 75 percent humidity. Naturally. The first ripe tomatoes hang off their vines just begging to be stuffed into jars with basil leaves in the middle of a week of record-breaking temperatures. Who would expect any less?
As a veteran canner, I'm resigned to it. I replay the fable of the ant and the grasshopper to buck myself up while bending over the pot blanching tomatoes and peaches to remove their skins more easily. I picture myself grabbing a jar of homemade salsa from my pantry shelves in mid-February and being grateful that I sweated myself into a puddle in mid-August. I remember delivering festive jars of homemade summer fruit jam to neighbors at Christmas in the swirling snow while I'm stirring a boiling jam pot.
The truth is that I love canning season. Putting food away for the winter connects me to generations of my family who have done the same thing. Going down to the basement and seeing shelves lined with the literal fruits of my labor makes me feel wealthy. It gives me a sense of security; the knowledge that we have sustenance handy no matter what weather comes our way.
The boys love canning season for their own reasons. With their mother distracted by timers and pressure canners and jars, they take advantage of the extra freedom. They have taught themselves to scale the insides of doorframes, to leap from the porch rails and, inexplicably, to disco. They also started their own business this summer. Impressively, the boys worked as a team to make garden sculptures and room and linen sprays to sell at our local farmers market. Even more impressive is the fact that more than 500 people have purchased their wares.
Another benefit to canning is being able to take advantage of inexpensive seasonal produce to line your larder. Peaches are mighty inexpensive right now and there are many options for storing them for later usage. Canned or frozen peaches are delicious and handy, but get creative with them, too. Peach sauce is fantastic over vanilla ice cream. Don't confine your peachy efforts to the sweet camp, though. Fragrant, sweet and tart peaches are a wonderful pairing for meat in savory dishes. Peach chutney and salsa add distinction and a punch of flavor to main dishes.
Peach Salsa is a staple accompaniment to pork or fish in our house. And if you're so inclined, a late-night snack of peach salsa and tortilla chips really satisfies a salty/sweet tooth!
Peach Salsa
½ c. cider vinegar
6 c. pitted, peeled, chopped peaches
1¼ c. chopped sweet or yellow onion
4 hot peppers, stems removed, finely minced (Use whichever hot peppers suit your heat tolerance.)
½ c. chopped cilantro
2 T. honey
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1½ t. ground cumin
½ cayenne pepper
Optional, 1 red or green bell pepper,seeded and chopped
Prepare your canner, jars and lids by sterilizing with boiling water.
Combine vinegar and peaches in a large, non-reactive (stainless steel, enamelware or glass) pan. Add onion, hot peppers, bell pepper (if using), cilantro, honey, garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring often, until the salsa has thickened slightly. This should take 4-7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Ladle the hot salsa into your prepared jars, leaving ½-inch of headspace at the top of the jar. Insert a chopstick, butterknife or thin spatula along the sides of the jar to help dislodge air bubbles. Add more salsa if needed to maintain the ½-inch of headspace. Wipe the rim with a paper towel dipped in vinegar. Position lids onto the jars and screw the rings in place to finger-tip tight.
Place jars in the canner, cover with tepid tap water. Place lid on canner, bring to a boil over high heat and process for 15 minutes at a full rolling boil. Turn off the heat, remove the canner lid and let the jars sit in the hot water for 5 minutes before transferring to a towel or rack on the countertop. Allow to cool, undisturbed for 24 hours at room temperature. Remove the rings carefully so you don't disturb the seal, wipe the jars clean with a damp towel, label and store in a cool, dry place.

Frozen peaches aren't just for smoothies. Peaches and Cream Time Saver Muffins take advantage of frozen or fresh peaches. The vanilla peach muffins make a delicious start to the day or sweet afternoon snack. While delicate, they're sturdy enough to pack in lunch bags.
This muffin isn't just a tasty treat though. The beauty of the recipe is that you can whip it up and store it in the refrigerator for a week at a time. For piping hot muffins fresh every morning, simply scoop the batter into the desired number of muffin cups or liners and bake. A hearty, hot breakfast doesn't get much easier than this!
Peaches and Cream Time Saver Muffins
2¼ c. all-purpose flour (You can substitute white whole wheat flour for up to 1 cup.)
1½ t. baking powder
½ t. baking soda
½ t. salt
4 T. unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
½ c. sour cream or plain yogurt
1 c. chopped peaches, fresh or frozen
Optional, sugar for sprinkling over the muffins before baking. Demerara (raw) sugar works great.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease silicone muffin cups or line a muffin tin with greased paper liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, in a mixing bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar. If you do not have a stand-mixer, use a hand-mixer. Whether you are using a stand or hand-mixer, start on low until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, then slowly increase the speed to medium-high until the butter mixture is very light in color (nearly white.)
Scrape down the bowl to remove any remaining butter from the sides, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
Add the yogurt (or sour cream) and vanilla, and mix until even.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until the batter is smooth. It will be thick. Do not overbeat. Gently fold the peaches in by hand, using a wooden spoon or spatula. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. You can use a heaping ¼ cup measuring cup to get the best results. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack.

Softball Opens Season Friday at FSUFebruary 13, 2003 · MT Media Relations
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee softball opens the 2003 season on Friday when the Lady Raiders travel to Florida State to participate in the Sunshine State Tournament.
For the first time in school history the Lady Raiders will open the season with a top 10 team when Middle Tennessee faces No. 9 Florida State at 4 p.m. on Friday. The two day round robin tournament will also pit Middle Tennessee against Iowa State earlier in the day at 2 p.m. Middle Tennessee faced both teams in 2002 and lost by one run to both.
Youth is the dominant theme for Middle Tennessee softball in 2003, as the Lady Raiders only return seven players from last year's squad. Head Coach Cindy Connelley brought in six freshmen and seven transfers to complement the squad, and is looking for the team to mesh quickly.
Building a team from the ground up has to start with senior leadership and the Lady Raiders have two strong fronts in senior captains Stayc Preator and Kip Phillips. Three-year starters for Middle Tennessee, the duo have the experience and track record to be solid leaders for the team.
"We have great leadership in Stayc and Kip," Connelley said. "Both have determination and leadership skills that will be an integral part of this team."
After enjoying the luxury of three senior pitchers last season, the Lady Raiders now turn to lone veteran Preator to lead the pitching squad. After three seasons behind decorated hurler Martinez, it is now Preator's time to shine.
In 2002, Preator ended the season with a team leading 1.72 ERA and boasted a 4-0 record in May including one shut out. She also set a new school record with most innings without giving up a walk with 42.1. In total, the senior from El Cajon, Calif., only gave up 10 walks and struck out 116 batters in 2002.
"Our pitching starts with Stayc, because she anchors the staff," Connelley said. "She has done a lot of work this fall and relishes the role of being a leader on and off the mound."
Behind Preator are four freshmen hurlers. It is a real battle for the second and third spots in the rotation, as well as who will become the team's reliever.
The freshmen ranks include Tennessee talents Muriel Ledbetter and Tiffany Childress. The only left-handed pitcher on the squad is Valerie Swanson, who hails from Rancho Cordova, Calif. She is a two-time MVP at Loretto High School. Jennifer Dorais is another versatile player who may split time on the mound and in the field. The Sacramento, Calif., native set a new school pitching record with 505 strikeouts in four years at Hiram Johnson West High School. Another pitcher the Lady Raiders have in the bullpen is Leora Brannon. She hails from Cross Junction, Virginia.
Although there is a lot of diversity on the pitching staff, it is still a youthful corp. The games early in the schedule will allow the squad to become further acclimated with NCAA Division I softball after a successful fall where the team won both tournaments.
Losing a two-year starting catcher like Lindsay Azevedo is a big change for the Lady Raiders behind the plate. Sophomore Leah Grothause was successful in her outings and is ready to take over the reigns.
Splitting time between the outfield and behind the mask, Grothause is the heir apparent, but she must prove she has a consistent stick to stay in the line-up. Last season she was second on the team in batting average at .284, scoring 12 runs, hitting four doubles and collecting eight RBI and is expected to build on those numbers.
Kari Crandell, a transfer from Ohio State, and Megan Stapleton, will be fighting for time behind the plate and the line-up as well. Crandell played ten games for the Buckeyes last season, while Stapleton attended Marshall County High School and is a transfer from Mississippi University for Women.
"I am confident in all of their play-calling abilities in game situations," Connelley said. "I told them that the best bat will start."
Middle Tennessee returns three players in the infield from last year's squad. Senior Megan Cherinka, junior Kristina Hieb, and sophomore DeCamino all look to make an impact between the lines.
Cherinka will try to anchor the right corner at first base. Last season she played in 35 games and posted a .246 batting average.
In the middle, Hieb is expected to be in a battle for second base, but can also play first and third. She led the team in batting average in 2002 at .289, scoring 14 runs and sending in eight.
The left corner will be the post for DeCamino. She was second on the team in homeruns with four, scoring 16 runs, sending 17 around and had a .261 batting average.
The top recruit for the Lady Raiders in the infield is University of Arkansas transfer Cortney Mitchell, who hails from Mt. Juliet, Tenn., and will play shortstop. At Arkansas, she was third on the team in batting average at .282, while leading the team in doubles with 12. She was also third on the team in RBI with 23 and led the team in runs scored with 26.
"Cortney will really stuff the middle at short," Connelley said. "She is the type of player that you can't leave out of the lineup and will play a lot at short but is a national level second baseman."
Other possible players for the infield include Dorais and Ledbetter, and Krystal Scott. All three will be fighting for time in the middle and at the corners.
Scott is a junior college transfer from Neosho Community College. She was named All-Conference and All-Region and had a .404 batting average and eight homeruns in 2002.
"This is a quality infield," Connelley said. "I believe we have a really tough defensive lineup with the depth of this group of players."

Chef Vivian Howards life makes for good television.
Howard, 35, left eastern North Carolina for New York City, became a chef and wanted to open her own restaurant. Her father, a successful hog farmer, offered to help her financially but there was a catch: She had to open her restaurant in Kinston.
A new series, A Chefs Life, premieres at 9:30 p.m. Thursday on UNC-TV. The show documents the travails of Howard and her husband, Ben Knight, as they try to make a success of their upscale restaurant, Chef and the Farmer, in a struggling former tobacco town.
The series is part documentary, part cooking show, part chronicle of rural North Carolina food traditions. The show is getting attention nationally. PBS stations all across the country, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, are airing A Chefs Life this fall.
Thats in part due to the quality of the storytelling by the shows producer, Cynthia Hill, a documentary filmmaker whose previous work tackled such topics as tobacco farming, guest workers and domestic violence. Hills partner, Rex Miller, is the director of photography.
Howard and Hill are childhood friends. Howard grew up in Deep Run, a fire district outside Kinston, and Hill grew up in nearby Pink Hill, where folks in Deep Run go to shop.
We grew up a country mile from each other, Howard explained over lunch with Hill at Mateo Tapas in Durham last week.
The initial idea for a show came from Howard, who wanted to document some of the food traditions found in eastern North Carolina, including collard kraut. Howards initial call to Hill for advice led to a collaboration.
Each of the shows 13 episodes tackles a different seasonal ingredient. Howard is shown by a home cook what's traditionally done with the ingredient; then she shows how she cooks with the same ingredient in her restaurant kitchen.
Beyond the food focus, Hill artfully introduces this young couple to the audience. Viewers learn that Howards parents think she charges too much for iced tea at $2 a glass, and one of her fathers best friends wont dine at Chef and the Farmer because they dont serve Thousand Island dressing. Viewers meet the couples twins, Theo and Florence, on their second birthday. And they see the couple struggle, argue and recover after a kitchen fire destroyed their restaurant in January 2012.
It makes for really good TV, Hill said, praising Howard and Knight for their ability to be honest and vulnerable on camera.
P.S.: Shooting for the second season is already underway.

Cardinals being Cardinals: Great D ruined once again by offense
"We're a couple pieces away from the puzzle to be a great team, a really good team," he said after the game. "We have all the potential in the world but it's just one piece there, one piece there.
"We fix that and this team can be great."
Campbell admitted it may be tough to believe because the team's record "doesn't really show it", but that there is a sense the Cardinals are closer to being a playoff contender than one might think.
It would be nice to be able to believe him.
The Cardinals did, after all, start the season with a perfect 4-0 record. Arizona also has one of the NFL's best defenses, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. And oh yeah, Larry Fitzgerald is still there to catch passes on offense, which he showed he's still capable of doing with his eight-catch, 111-yard performance Sunday.
Yet the Cardinals, assuming they lose at San Francisco next week, are still going to end this season with a 5-11 record -- their second such mark in three years -- with questions at both quarterback and head coach.
The current head coach, Ken Whisenhunt, took a stab at maybe finding out the answer Sunday when he replaced an ineffective Ryan Lindley in the third quarter with what was ultimately a moderately less ineffective Brian Hoyer.
Signed a couple weeks ago off of waivers, Hoyer completed 11-of-19 passes for 105 yards and an interception. The man he replaced, Lindley, was 17-of-30 for 141 yards and a pick.
"I thought he did a nice job," Whisenhunt said of Hoyer, noting that the interception was not so good. "He got put in as tough a deal as he could be being down with them having a good defensive front that were in pass rush mode."
The signal callers combined to throw 49 passes Sunday; perhaps there should have been a bit more of an emphasis on the run?
It probably didn't matter anyway.
If we learned anything Sunday it's that the Cardinals are, unfortunately, who we thought they were. A team with an outstanding defense and an offense held back by a poor running game and quarterbacks who can only dream of mediocrity.
Needless to say, it looks like Hoyer -- like Lindley, John Skelton, Max Hall, Derek Anderson and probably Kevin Kolb before him -- is not the answer.
"It's tough, isn't it," Whisenhunt asked when addressing the struggles at quarterback. "I said it before, we're not getting the production out of that position and it's hard to win in this league if you don't do better from that standpoint."
Hard? Yes, but the Cardinals are making it seem damn near impossible.
Think about it: the Cardinals began their home slate with John Skelton under center and ended it with Hoyer taking snaps.
Where they go from here is anyone's guess. There's one game left on the docket, and after that the organization will have some decisions to make, some of which will undoubtedly be difficult and controversial.
And maybe Campbell is right about his team when he says they're not far off from being where they want to be. The Cardinals could be just a couple pieces away getting back to the level that saw them win their first four games rather than the one that has seen them lose 10 of their last 11.
But as the post-Kurt Warner Cardinals have taught us, finding a quarterback is much easier said than done. And until that happens, it would appear the good things the team can do will all be for naught.

Ada —
Democracy is a "messy" form of government because it involves, well, people. Lots of them. It is the chief reason our founders decided against a pure form of it as a way of running a national government. They knew a republic would incorporate enough of the democratic principle to allow for citizen input, but also provide enough representation to not allow every decision to degenerate into a never-ending, fractious squabble.
Fascism is much more efficient. Benito Mussolini, Italy's early 20th century dictator, could "keep the trains running on time," and was considered a hero for doing so. Americans, on the other hand, like being part of the decision-making process. We appreciate our freedom and the ability to express it at the ballot box.
Too, one doesn't have to read much history to know a significant number of our founding fathers didn't really trust the masses, at least with issues of national import. They wanted elected officials to listen to their constituents but then make the final call themselves on important issues.
Our founders also knew democracy works better at the local level and left it up to states and municipalities to figure out how to run their respective local governments.
With that in mind, it seems to me Ada city councilors leaned more towards democracy than republicanism when they solicited committees consisting of city residents to decide where to locate facilities financed with "Penny for Your City" tax revenues, and for that, they should be congratulated.
By its very nature, democracy takes longer and some residents lost patience with the process because it seemed to take an eternity for a decision to be rendered on where to locate the proposed new fire and police stations.
As one who was involved with the fire station committee, I know the work that went into arriving at the decision to locate it at Broadway and 14th Street. It was a painstaking process that included site visits to multiple possible locations around town. In the end, the Broadway and 14th Street site was chosen because it was the one that allowed the greatest opportunity to achieve what Ada firefighters want most — a four minute response time to the greatest portion of their coverage area.
If you've ever had the misfortune of having to call these dedicated individuals to your home, you know how seriously they take their business.
Other locations may have been beneficial in different ways, but the one chosen by the committee and agreed to by city councilors last week was the one that put residents' safety and well-being ahead of any other consideration.
Locating the fire station in this spot is not yet guaranteed. There are details to be worked out and that part of the process is just getting started. But city councilors should be given kudos for agreeing to let the democratic process continue even after the vote on "A Penny for Your City," to details of implementation of its tax proceeds.

HOUSTON – A freeze warning remained in effect early Thursday morning for several of the Houston area's northern counties, said KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Chita Johnson.
The freeze warning for Grimes, Montgomery, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker and Washington counties expired at 8 a.m.
In our southern counties closer to the city early Thursday, temperatures were in the 40s.
"Temperatures will climb to right around 60 by lunchtime, so it'll still be cool throughout the day," said Johnson. "We'll be under clear skies."
This afternoon will be really nice, topping out around 68 degrees.
Looking at the seven-day forecast, we'll continue to see mostly clear skies with nice temperatures through the weekend. By Monday there will be a slight chance for rain as temperatures jump into the mid-70s.

Going by the artistic name of Vhils, Alexandre Farto is one of the most well-known Portuguese Street artists of our age. The term "Graffiti Artist" is probably not adequate to describe what he does, since there are no spray paints involved. Instead, Vhils uses an electric chisel to carve huge faces on the urban landscapes.
Let us see what this ingenious fellow has been up to; look close and prepare to be impressed with an unique creative style that actually hinges on destruction of public property.
You can keep up with his work by following his official Facebook Page. If you want to know more about Vhils' background and artistic vision, this article is a must read.
Bonus feature: If you like where this is going, you'll love the following music video where Vhils collaborated with a popular electronic music band from his home country. Quite explosive, this is!

By Linda Deutsch and Ken Ritter
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — His leg shackles rattling as he shuffled to and from the witness stand, O.J. Simpson made his own case Wednesday for a new trial on armed robbery charges with testimony that he relied on the advice of his trusted attorney when he tried to reclaim mementos from his football glory days.
"It was my stuff. I followed what I thought was the law," the 65-year-old former NFL star and actor said. "My lawyer told me I couldn't break into a guy's room. I didn't break into anybody's room. I didn't try to muscle the guys. The guys had my stuff, even though they claimed they didn't steal it."
Simpson said he took the advice of his longtime former lawyer, Yale Galanter, and didn't testify in his Las Vegas trial at which he was convicted in 2008 of armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.
His fall from long-ago fame and fortune was on display as a grayer, bulkier Simpson made his way through the courtroom. The Heisman Trophy college running back and NFL record-setter once made TV commercials running through airports. As Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, he's been handcuffed and chained at the ankles during a hearing on his claim that he was poorly represented by his attorney during the trial.
His physician, Henry Johnson, watched and said Simpson appeared to be in good health.
H. Leon Simon, attorney for the state, conducted a brief cross-examination.

Len was a bellhop and while his job kept him hopping, it didn't compare with the pressure that was put on him, one afternoon, by a hotel guest. Sent to determine which rooms were empty, he entered Clara's room – thinking that she had checked out – and found her standing stark naked in the middle of the room.
Completely paralyzed by Clara's shrill shriek, Len didn't move a muscle as the shapely girl draped herself in a blanket. And, for 20 minutes thereafter, Clara – a sophisticated world traveler – grilled the stupefied bellhop like a tomato to determine his motive in entering her room. Then, she released him and sued the hotel for the emotional disturbance she had suffered.
"In all my adventures around the world," she testified in court, "being confronted by Len while I was nude was the most embarrassing experience I ever had."
In due course, a sympathetic jury gave Clara a big cash reward, and the hotel appealed. It argued that since there was no evidence that Clara was particularly modest, the award should have been modest – very modest.
IF YOU WERE THE JUDGE, would you set aside Clara's big award in favor of one much smaller?
This is how the judge ruled: YES! The judge held that being a sophisticated young woman, having been inadvertently seen in the nude should not have, nor did it seem to, so emotionally disturb Clara as to warrant so large an award. She screamed only once, noted the judge in support of her sophistication, and then spent 20 minutes questioning the bellhop in her room before ordering him out.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A dangerous cold snap has moved in with temperatures dropping close to the single digits.
Schools throughout the region delayed opening for two hours on Tuesday morning because of the frigid weather.
In downtown Huntington Monday night, people wore whatever they could to keep warm.
"The wind chill makes it feel like it's burning your skin," Shanna Sims said.
The chilly air hit Kenny Basinang-Partlow more than most. He just moved back to Huntington after living in Florida the past 30 years.
"You take a deep breath and say ok, I'm in a different place now," he said.
Christine Kirtley works for Help for Animals in Barboursville. She says when it gets cold like this, don't forget about your pets.
Cats and pups should be kept indoors, and pet owners should make sure they don't get into any anti-freeze, which can be fatal.
