Improved Interoperability: Red Hat Deepens Virtualization Effort with Microsoft
Red Hat and Microsoft have deepened their partnership even further in the virtualization realm under the concept of "interoperabiity." Cross-certification should lead to more satisfied customers.
Goal of cross-certifying the two companies' virtualization platforms is to give customers comprehensive support for server virtualization on the applicable operating systems. Red Hat and Microsoft had signed a corresponding technical agreement back in February 2009. Now they will also provide support and certification for their products. The certification extends to the following host and guest systems:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, using the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) as host with Windows Server 2003 and 2008 R2 as guest
- Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as host with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 as guest
Details on the validation and certification are on the Red Hat website.

She was born July 12, 1925, in Franklin Township, Snyder County, the daughter of the late William H. and Alda C. (Kratzer) Zechman. On March 28, 1943, she married John Foster Smith, who preceded her in death on March 5, 2002.
When she and her husband first married, they lived on the second floor of the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Frances and John Kleinbauer, in Middleburg, there they spent many Sunday afternoons playing Monopoly with Janet, Martha, Chip and Joe, always ending the evening by making a big pot of french fries.
Vera was a member of Christian Missionary Alliance Church, Lewisburg.
She was an avid golfer and a member of the Bucknell Golf Club.
She enjoyed traveling and especially going to Texas to visit her grandchildren.
Surviving are one son and daughter-in-law, Robert L. and RuthAnn Smith, of Campbell, Texas; two daughters, Hope I. Greiner, of Winfield, and Dawn L. Hummel, of Kreamer; 10 grandchildren, David Smith and wife Kathleen, of Hutto, Texas, Becky DeBoer and husband David, of Austin, Ark., Daniel Smith and wife Alice, of Madison Heights, Va., Joy Johnston and husband Rich, of Lynchburg, Va., Amy Mercurio and husband Daniel, of League City, Texas, Gene Greiner and wife Robin, of Perkasie, Martha Stroup and husband Kevin, of Kreamer, John Hummel and wife Melissa, of Kreamer, Rachel Inns and husband Jeffrey, of Sunbury, and Elisabeth Snook and husband Lee, of Millmont; 27 great-great-grandchildren, Nathan, Sarah, Christopher and Joel Smith, Rachel, Benjamin, Samuel and Katie DeBoer, Emilie, Kalyn and Isaac Smith, Andrew Greiner, Abagail, Noah, HannahJoy, Caleb, Joshua and Ruth Stroup, John Calvin, Larissa, Olivia and Isaac Hummel, Emma and Benjamin Inns and Simon, Hannah and Felicity Snook; one brother and two sisters-in-law, Harry and Margaret Buzek Zechman, of Daytona Beach, Fla., and Ethel Zechman, of Baltimore, Md.; nieces; and nephews.

Highmark Inc. and the West Penn Allegheny Health System believe that their affiliation will provide an affordable choice for health care services and will continue to provide community access for health care.
"Today is an important first step to ensuring the continued viability of the West Penn Allegheny Health System and a choice of health care services in our region," Dr. Kenneth R. Melani, Highmark's president and chief executive officer, said in a news conference to announce the affiliation. "We are preserving a vital not-for-profit community asset."
Highmark yesterday provided a $50-million grant to West Penn Allegheny, enabling the health system to sustain and strengthen its West Penn Hospital in Bloomfield and Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville. According to Highmark, the funding also ensures continued delivery of quality medical services by the entire system, including Canonsburg General Hospital in Washington County.
Melani said these hospitals are important to the people in neighborhood communities, surrounding businesses and suppliers. The management and boards of directors of Highmark and WPAHS will continue discussions in the weeks ahead to finalize a definitive agreement.
"It's important to have a second (health care) system and have options," Melani said, in reference to UPMC, the largest health care provider in the region. "For consumers, we want to preserve their choices. For physicians and other health care providers, we want to ensure multiple patient referral options. This affiliation will help preserve those very options."
Highmark is making a $475 million commitment over four years that will include $75 million to fund scholarships for students attending medical schools affiliated with WPAHS and to support other educational programs in the health professions. The health system is joining with Temple University in Philadelphia to start a four-year medical school in Pittsburgh, Melani said.
The $75 million for scholarships for medical school students and other educational programs will address the shortage of physicians in the region and help West Penn Allegheny retain doctors.
"West Penn Allegheny has been recognized nationally for its leading doctors and nurses, who provide high-quality, personalized care. However, there is no doubt that we have lacked the capital necessary to deliver on our full potential," said David L. McClenahan, West Penn Allegheny's chairman of the board. "We share a common goal with Highmark to focus on the patient experience, improve health care and ensure choice for both those seeking care and those seeking employment in the health care sector in our region."
According to Highmark, the planned affiliation is the first step in Highmark's effort to develop alternative health care options that offer care at a lower price and more coordinated and patient-driven delivery of medical care.
"It is critical to the economic and financial health of the community that Western Pennsylvanians have a choice of health care providers and that we preserve strong and valuable community institutions like the West Penn Allegheny Health System," Melani said.

You didn't include a tango/flamenco number? I voted "something else," perhaps Maleguena? I can see it now - big flower in the hair (pulled back tight), with a red and black lace dress. And big ruffles at the end of the sleeves to accuentate those sharp arm movements!
A medley of the following songs: Goldeneye, The Man With The Golden Gun, Goldfinger, Gold Digger, Fields Of Gold, Gold Dust Woman, Heart Of Gold and Band of Gold.
Wearing gold lame', of course.
It will probably be a Lori Nichol re-tread. Let's hope it's not Slaughter on Tenth Avenue!

Maybe they will choose Techno music. It is non-descript, non-recognizable and if she uses it, everyone will think she is so "cutting edge."
However, absent that, let's choose music from the ballet Don Quixote. She can do the Kitri variations section, as well as the paus de deux.
I think Loves_Shizuka is referring to Gracie's controversial tweet:
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
Since Gold has already broken 'new' (if your musical tastes are limited to Celine Dion) ground, she should continue down that road and get a super voidy program to Crystal Castles "Doe Deer".
Wait! I hear you say. But it's only 1:36.
Indeed, it is.
Worry not! Using the magic of digital audio editing, she could pair it up with The Knife "Full of Fire" for the slower parts, to provide much needed light and shade and variety in the choreography.
As an atonement for her idiotic twitter comment, the program would be queer-themed, featuring an androgynous costume and styling, blurring racial, gender and sexual lines. Gold's program would be an examination of oppressive social norms and it would slowly build up to a "Doe Deer" backed outburst of rage against the cultural hegemony, expressed through a circular step sequence featuring a lot of ott crazy arm flailing, possibly resulting in grievous bodily harm to the judges caught in the firing line as Gold moves closer to the boards. In the final pose, Gold would tear off all of her clothes and just stand there, naked and vulnerable with 'MANIFEST DESTINY' written on her body in red and blue marker.
The music is big and powerful and it suits her skating style. Yes it's a ballet but it isn't a languid longato piece. It's a good program and she should keep it.
I see your Crystal Castles and The Knife and raise you Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
Maybe she should take inspiration from Adrian Schulthess and do the Prodigy - Smack my b#!*h up
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
So many fantastic ideas!
Radeva's "CAW CAW CAW" program is an absolute legend. It's up there with Vassileva's Bollywood FS. Definitely something for Gold to draw inspiration from. Could she possibly choreograph even more posing in her new SP? We will see!
As for taking a page out of Schultheiss's book, she could go for something like Margaret Berger's strait-jacket dress, lots of frantic arm movements and angsty facial expressions. Being a proud American, she could mash-up the Prodigy's track with something by Skrillex.
Who are we kidding, it's going to be Malaguena, isn't it?
Legends of the Fall wuz robbed.

PROCTORVILLE, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A young boy who asked for charity donations instead of birthday gifts received a Christmas surprise he never could have imagined.
On Christmas Eve, Brady Bane received an envelope with an autographed T-shirt from his WWE wrestling idol John Cena. It was a promise Cena made in a video he posted on the WWE website, thanking Brady for his hard work raising money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Cena played a big role in the donation through his actions. During the month of October, he was wearing pink to support the Komen Foundation. That is what inspired Brady to ask for donations instead of Christmas gifts.
"We double checked a hundred times, 'Are you sure?' " his dad Chris said, "so we let him do it."
The result, thanks to friends, family and local businesses, was $775.
"I just want to be a nice person," Brady said.
The Bane family has no personal connection to breast cancer. This was all inspired by Cena wearing pink.
Brady says he's watched the video "37 times," and his eyes light up just the same way each time.
Here's the link to the video from John Cena:

Spotlight on Linux: Puppy Linux 5.2
Puppy Linux began life as a really cool small-sized Linux distribution designed primarily for lower specification hardware while still providing most of the amenities that make Linux fun and usable. It included lots of original utilities and tools for completing tasks and configurations without a lot of resource overhead. Best of all, it was blazing fast. Well, the little puppy has grown up some and branched out, but is still that same light-weight wonder in spirit.
The latest release, 5.2, codenamed Lucid Puppy, is a result of branching out of the project in new directions. In late 2008 Puppy developers designed a new build system, Woof, that can take binaries of other popular distributions and incorporate them into new Puppy builds. One of the most commonly used, and probably most popular, is Ubuntu. Underneath, the foundation is still the independent Puppy we know and love, but many components come from Ubuntu such as shared libraries and some applications. As a result, Puppy Linux 5.2 is compatible with many other Ubuntu packages. Whether this has increased Puppy's popularity could be debated, but according to Distrowatch.com's Page Hit Ranking, Puppy has been moving up the chart each year with the biggest jumps seen since Woof has been used to make Ubuntu compatible versions.
One of the most remarkable things about Puppy Linux is that it's a very small download size. It began life around the 50 MB range, but later grew to just over 100 MB. Still, it's quite small when many distribution images are getting too big to fit on a CD. Puppy's small size lends it very easily to installation onto USB memory keys with the ability to save any personalize settings and installed software. When booting, Puppy loads into your machine's permanent memory (RAM), which frees up the boot device for other uses. That also makes for a remarkably fast system.
Puppy's interface and tools also contribute to the high performance. Puppy uses JWM and OpenBox with FBPanel, all known for their minimum system requirements. Most tools have a simple interface and some are console-based. Contrary to common belief, this doesn't make them difficult to use. And there is quite a selection as well. There are tools to configure and monitor just about every aspect of the system, including eye candy.
Puppy ships with lots of smaller but useful applications too. Among many others you'll find Gnumeric spreadsheet, Osmo personal organizer, HomeBank money management, photo and image tools, editors, multimedia apps, Slypheed for mail, and Dillo for Web surfing. But like any respectable distro Puppy comes with an easy and attractive package management solution with several repository choices. Lucid Puppy is default, but Ubuntu repositories are a tick-box check away. Easier still is QuickPet which lists popular software choices and with one click will install your favorites. This is where you can install things like Firefox, Pidgin, NVIDIA drivers, GIMP, and LibreOffice.
Puppy is a fun little distro with lots of potential and flexibility. The live CD is suitable for any level of experience, although a permanent install might require a bit of knowledge about partitions and such. It has a cute appearance these days and runs like a scalded dog, ...er, um, puppy.

Puppy - fast, small, useful - how computers should be
I've been using Puppy since version 1.03 and it has come a long way since then. The emphasis has always been on small and fast, avoiding bloat. I've been in computers since the earliest 8-bit days. While marvelling at the capabilities of new machines and their software I've gradually become dismayed at the growth of bloat and the attendant slowdown. Yes, we have faster machines, but they would run even faster if they had efficient code. My old 30MHz Amiga ran not much slower than a modern 2GHz computer on Ubuntu. Back then the Amiga's entire multitasking operating system ran in just 1 or 2MB of space, providing most of what we need for normal day-to-day computing. Puppy doesn't quite return us to those days of super-high efficiency, but it does give us all the modern conveniences in just 100MB. This makes old, slow machines usable once more and lets new, fast machines move like lightning. It also lets me use my hard drives for data instead of wasting it on OS bloat. With new terabyte drives this is less of a problem, but it is still nice to be able to fit my OS into a tiny partition, letting me experiment with several installed versions of Puppy, all together taking up less room than a single install of Ubuntu. There is also the fact that I can carry Puppy in my pocket on a flash drive. Also the fact that Puppy live CDs are terrific rescue CDs to fix broken systems, carrying a full windowing OS on there -- all the tools you're used to are right there.
All in all, Puppy is a brilliant move.
good resource
very every nice post. thanks for sharing all with us. i am definitely going to follow you for your future post.

Linux Insider article talks about installing Kraft on Puppy 5.2
This article by Jack M Germain, mentions his use of Lucid Puppy Linux 5.2.2 on his computers and described it as not hard to install Kraft on Puppy Linux from the Ubuntu Repositories.
A nice read. I have installed and used Puppy Linux in a HDD install so that I can compile programs. I have a 4.1.11 4.2.1 and 5.2 Puppy Linux installs.
Makes good use of older computers and just flys on newer computers. Puppy is very fast and makes it a joy to use a computer. You can see the difference when a WIN XP computer is infested with virus compared to a Puppy Boot and surfing the internet.

love of puppy linux
Ubuntu or Edubuntu introduces me to what linux really is but it is Puppy Linux that made me in-love with the GNU/Linux existence. Thank you for your positive review of my favorite linux distribution.
Puppy for Programmers?
Is there a Puppy Linux out there for programmers? (Includes gcc, make, etc... would be awesome if it supports programming with QT)
Don't know about QT offhand, but for gcc, make, etc., all you need to do is download the "GNU Compiler lupu_devx_520.sfs" squashfile by way of the "Sfs Get" tab in Quickpet; then you'll be prompted to reboot so Puppy will recognize this added SFS file in addition to the two basic ones (Puppy main file and personal save file).
Yay for Puppy
Good to see that Puppy is getting the attention it deserves. I don't use it myself, since I prefer a more hands-on approach to linux installation. I have used it in the past and found it to be a fun little OS. It was hilarious seeing my Computer Teacher's face when I booted a school computer into Puppy.
Puppy Linux Rocks!
I first 'found' my puppy at version 2.15, a 'community' release, and have been in love with it ever since. I use it at work and at home, frugal and full HDD installs, and I've even created my own customized versions and packages for my own use. I even carry Puppy in my pocket wherever I go.
The puppy community is strong and well versed, and a little searching will usually find either a solution or a straight up 'will not work with this version'.
I`ve found that many mainstream applications can be installed in Puppy Linux directly from the application's website. Look for versions with 'static libraries' (all libraries included) with 'tar.gz' extensions. Simply download and unpack the package, locate the folder containing the install files, press '~' in the file manager (ROX) to invoke a command line, and simply run the install script via a './install' or './install.bin'.
I regularly install and upgrade packages including Skype, OpenOffice, Java, Opera, Firefox, Thunderbird, Picassa, and Acrobat just to name a few.
Puppy Linux is the most powerful tool in my toolchest. Just look for a version that works well with your hardware, and customize. A little tinkering goes a long way, and you will learn allot as you play with this puppy.

great comment
Thank you for this -- it is one of the best commentaries on Puppy that I have read in a while.
Puppy Linux is the most powerful tool in my toolchest. ... A little tinkering goes a long way, and you will learn allot as you play with this puppy.
I do have to echo that Puppy is indeed powerful and the playing and tinkering opportunities are endless.
please HD install on puppy
please HD install on puppy is fairly easy even for a rank novice. I did it in like 5 min without even looking up documentation. Puppy is a great distro for a beginner. my only dislike is puppies obsession with jwm. which lets face it is outdated.
My wife and daughter both now have laptops that were being discarded at work because they were useless with Windows.
I couldn't even get Ubuntu to run on these things.
With Puppy they boot and run perfectly and quickly. Great disto for old stuff.
Couldn't agree more
I've installed Puppy for years on machines that wouldn't run anything past Win98 and it runs beautifully. Great distro to help you keep old hardware in the home/school/office and out of the landfill.
Even though I love ubuntu and
Even though I love ubuntu and have been using it for years, I'm still on the fence about this whole puppy/ubuntu thing. I thought puppy 4.2.1 was brilliant as is, without the need to be compatible with other distro's binaries. Then again, maybe I'm just old fashioned.
The older versions of Puppy
The older versions of Puppy just didn't have enough software available. Most often, when I wanted to install anything other than the most popular packages, I'd have to search the Puppy forum and hope that somebody posted the .pet. If I did this 20 times, that meant that I had trusted 20 random people with the security of my computer (as I'm trusting that they don't introduce anything malicious into my system when I install the .pet).
I feel a lot safer using official repositories, which I now have access to thanks to Ubuntu compatibility.
Agreed -- 4.2.1 is terrific: plays movies and audio without trouble, can do Python and Tcl/Tk development right off the bat, and the Seamonkey browser and web development suite is terrific (and incredibly underrated).
The only quirk with 4.3.1 is getting the sound to work.
I'm just worried that the lean toward ubuntu binaries will keep Puppy from remaining the zippy, productive and fun distro it is.
The worst thing about Puppy for ages was that there was no effective package management like any other Linux distro. There was no automatic dependency resolution and no repositories - if you wanted to install anything you had to look in the *forum* and see if anyone had posted a link to a .pet package they'd stored on some personal FTP space somewhere! There were really no dedicated package builders or maintainers either. It was a PITA to get non-included software running - you might need to compile it yourself, which involved downloading overlays because Puppy didn't include headers and other files, compiling on a PC that was probably memory and CPU deficient to begin with, etc. YUCK.
With Woof's ability to build Puppy from other distros (like Ubuntu) rather than T2, the option to have a real repository and package management has finally been introduced. Puppy made Slackware look like Fedora in comparison previously when it came to package management. :-)
They haven't gone far enough, though... they still have their own .pet package format and the Puppy Package Manager downloads all the Ubuntu package data and converts it to pet package data which is still time and CPU consuming and worse if you're running from a flash drive. If I were them I'd enable Woof to build from the openSUSE distro then incorporate openSUSE's zypper installer via libzypp and use the openSUSE build service and completely abandon their antiquated and unneccessary .pet tools. Package management is vastly improved in Puppy but still its weakest feature and adopting a standard and leveraging others' strengths would really improve Puppy. This is a distro that not only does its own thing and breaks standards and writes its own software, its even created its own programming language (PuppyBasic) to write it in! Hopefully they've begun to see the light and will eventually become more standards compliant in the package area in the future.
I agree with your points on
I agree with your points on the package management.
However, there are now solutions that allow Puppy to be run as a clean install every time (or with just basic settings and no additional software installation if you want). You can then use executables from places like www.portablelinuxapps.org and not have to do any installation at all.
Very handy.
Not only is it compact and runs on old hardware, it is supremely versatile. I use Puppy at home and at work.
- It lets me run my programs booting from a USB without touching the work computers hard drive.
- In Live USB mode or Frugal hard drive install, there are only three files to change to upgrade the puppy
- It allows me to have many Pupsave files, so that from one install I can access multiple configurations. On my USB can boot up with Office functionality, an XAMPP webserver, a Windows recovery toolkit or naked puppy, and still have 5 out of 8GB free
- My work savefile is encrypted for privacy
- I can always roll back to install state simply by removing the initial save file.
- ... many others
My old 2gb Asus EEPC, can hold 3 installs of Puppy (5.1, 4.31, and arcade), and many save files...

I'm currently running 4.3.1 (old desktop) and 4.2.1 (old laptop) and really enjoy them both. I've tried Xubuntu and Ubuntu both and have become dissatisfied with its bloat. That said, I may give 5.2 a try on a USB drive just to see whats up with it.
Thanks for the article! Nice to see Puppy getting some love.
Thank you...

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Hunger calls in Africa's Sahel region
The spectre of hunger is again stalking the people of the western Sahel, at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. Thanks to the early-warning systems funded by Canada and other donors, we now know that a major food crisis is brewing. We know in time to head it off.
Late and irregular rainfall, followed by plagues of birds, locusts and other pests have decimated the harvests of poor farmers and made pasture scarce for herders. Cereal production in the five countries of the region is down by a quarter from last year and is well below the five-year average. In Mauritania and Chad farmers harvested barely half what they got last year. National food reserves exist, but they hold nowhere near the quantity needed to mitigate the deficit.
Even if the market were well stocked, the prices of key cereals are 10 to 40 per cent higher than usual. Most people in the Sahel buy their food, and the most vulnerable families spend up to 80 per cent of their income on it. As if failed harvests and skyrocketing prices weren't enough, remittances from family members working in Libya and Côte d'Ivoire have evaporated due to the conflicts in those countries.
The Sahel is an ecologically fragile region prone to shocks. Even in a "normal" year, half of all children under five suffer chronic malnutrition. Rates of acute malnutrition among children are consistently above the 10 per cent threshold that for UNICEF defines an emergency. Years with no "crisis" still see 300,000 children die from malnutrition-related causes.
But the Sahel is not condemned to suffer Somalia's fate. The region's governments have acknowledged the depth of the coming crisis. Several have already mobilized the meagre resources they have on hand and asked for outside help. Donors are starting to engage, with Europe leading the way.
Early recognition provides us with an opportunity to avoid the mistakes of the past. Acting now could avoid a costly escalation that would put millions of people at risk of losing their livelihoods or losing their lives.
We are warned now about the impending tragedy in the Sahel. But will we act?
Mark Fried is policy coordinator at Oxfam Canada.

Food Crisis West Africa
I would love to be able to help these people with food, but what about contracetion....Even if we fill these poor childrens brlly's, their parents don't have work and spend most of their leasure time having sex and babies.......common sense and logic is need as well as food. Half or most of this money will not even get to these children..."WAKE UP AMERICA"!!! Your getting shafted by your own government again
We cannot feed the world indefinately.
If they cannot afford children, then they must be taught and educated on how to manage a population of uncivilized people not to.
No condoms....no food. Condoms for the parents and food for the babies
We're in this together
Hey man, if these people don't have access to food, how are they going to get access to condoms and birthcontrol? And as for American people waking up, the only ones really awoke are the ones realizing that we're in this whole world together. We've got to remember too that climate change is effecting these regions, that isn't their doing, it's only the north american regions responsible for that one. So it's our humanitarian duty to try and effectively and efficiently help these regions stabalize, not with just money and food I realize that, but with long term solutions provided by Oxfam, Plan Canand and Kickstart.org. Jesus said, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Also if the parents starve, there'll be no one left to look after the kids, what are you thinking?
Love what you guys are doing
Hi Oxfam, thanks for thinking long term and doing something real Would you guys happen to know about kickstart.org low cost, super light water pumps? I think getting these out to people would help your impact in the region as well, they've got an office in Kenya so I'm thinking that might make shipping closer/cheaper here's the site so you can check it out:

From Staff Reports
Coahulla Creek High School's boys soccer team wasted no time scoring Monday night at Ringgold.
The Colts needed just nine seconds to post their first goal.
Sadoth Fraire booted the ball beyond Ringgold's defenders immediately after the kickoff, and Pedro Garcia chased it down and scored on his second touch. It was a good start for the Colts on their way to a 2-0 win against the Tigers.
The goal was Garcia's 25th of the season. He leads the Colts (12-5, 10-4 Region 5-3A) in scoring.
"That is certainly a good way to start the game," said Colts coach Eric Parker, whose team lost 1-0 to North Murray this past Friday. "After our last game, not being able to score, it's good to score in nine seconds."
Jo-An Barcenas scored on a penalty kick later in the first half.
"We attacked all night and had a lot of opportunities but didn't get them to go," Parker said. "We felt pretty comfortable. We controlled possession."
Coahulla Creek, which has already clinched the region's No. 3 seed, outshot Ringgold 34-3.
• Morris Innovative boys 1, Dade County 1 (4-3): Eduardo Padilla played keeper for the Tigers during the penalty kick shootout and made the save that proved to be the difference in their regular season finale.
Miguel Villafuerte scored Morris Innovative's lone goal in regulation and the teams went scoreless in the two five-minute periods of overtime. Converting penalty kicks in the shootout for the Tigers (8-9, 7-9 Region 7-2A) were Villafuerte, David Alonzo, Elmer Hernandez and Pedro Ulloa. Danny Alonzo was in goal through regulation and into overtime and finished with eight saves.
The year marked a huge turnaround for the Tigers, who went 1-13 in their inaugural season in 2012.
• Dade County girls, Morris Innovative 0: The Lady Tigers finished their first season of play 1-16 overall and 1-15 in Region 7-2A.
• Gordon Central girls 1, North Murray 1 (1-0): Megan Pittman scored in regulation on an assist from Jessenia Gaspar, but Gordon Central netted a goal during the penalty-kick shootout to take the win.
Amber Bandy had three saves in goal during the shootout, but the Lady Mountaineers, who fell to 1-11 overall and 1-10 in Region 5-3A, came up short on penalty kicks.
• Ringgold girls 1, Coahulla Creek 0: The Lady Tigers scored in the first half, spoiling Melissa Cabrera's great day in goal — she made 18 saves — for Coahulla Creek (6-12, 5-9 Region 5-3A).
• North Murray's boys soccer team won by forfeit against Gordon Central and secured at worst a tie atop the final Region 5-3A standings.
The Warriors' season was canceled earlier this spring due to hazing allegations, according to a Calhoun Times report.
The Mountaineers (13-3, 12-1) are currently in first place and one game ahead of Cartersville, which split the seasons series with North Murray. The Mountaineers finish the season at home Wednesday against Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. A win clinches North Murray's second consecutive region championship.
• Christian Heritage 13, Trion 7: The Lions (12-9, 9-6 Sub-region 6A-A) scored 11 runs in the third inning and locked up the No. 3 seed from their half of the region.
Christian Heritage allowed five runs in the first but more than doubled that in the third to take a 12-6 lead. Tre Mason had a monster day, going 4-for-5 with five RBIs, while Ian Robbins also went 4-for-5.
Michael McKinney went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, while Brady Souther was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and Christian Heritage had 15 hits total.
Spencer Robbins earned the win on the mound, pitching 4 1/3 innings. He allowed six runs (four earned) off 10 hits with two walks and five strikeouts. McKinney pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowed one unearned run off two hits and one walk while striking out two.
"Today was a perfect example of getting down and turning it around," Lions coach Noah Stokes said. "It's easy in those situations to feel like it's not your day. Then we made them feel that way.
"We didn't play perfectly in the field in the first inning and that led to some of their runs, but we were able to hit the ball and came back to get a big region win."
Christian Heritage will play Sub-region 6B's No. 3 seed in a region crossover matchup on Friday, Stokes said, but whether or not the Lions make the state playoffs is determined by their power rating.
The top 16 teams in each power rating poll — one for public and another for private — make their respective brackets. Christian Heritage was ninth in the most recent poll on April 16.
• Ridgeland 9, Southeast Whitfield 5: Blake Foster went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run plus an RBI double, but it wasn't enough to give the Raiders (6-17, 3-12 Sub-region 7B-4A) a late-season sweep of the sub-region series.
Tyler Hale pitched five innings for Southeast, allowing all the runs — six earned — off 10 hits while walking four and striking out three. Foster pitched two innings and allowed just one hit while striking out one.
At the plate, Hale went 2-for-4 with two doubles, while Jose Vargas added a two-run single for the Raiders, who beat Ridgeland twice last week.
The Raiders close their season at home today in a Region 7-4A crossover doubleheader versus Gilmer at 5 p.m.

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors. The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds. The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.

NORMAN — There are dozens of obstacles Oklahoma will face Saturday against Notre Dame. But the biggest in terms of priorities and sheer size will be right in front of them all afternoon at Notre Dame Stadium.
The first thing the Sooners must do is figure out a way to block Fighting Irish nose guard Louis Nix III.
That bit of information didn't catch OU center Gabe Ikard by surprise. He's known for 11 months that his first trip to Notre Dame Stadium since he was a recruit at Bishop McGuinness High School in Oklahoma City wouldn't be easy.
Ikard spent three-and-a-half hours in a grudge match with Nix last season when the teams played at Owen Field. Nix left an indelible impression that had Ikard planning for Round 2 for months.
"He's one of those guys that you can just tell how strong and talented he is on the tape. Last year was certainly the biggest challenge of my season," Ikard said. "Excited to block the best in the country. He's definitely that, so we've got to prepare for him and the rest of that defense. Got to study a lot of film and get ready for a big challenge."
It's challenging because players like Nix don't come around in college football very often. Sure, there are 300-pound players on every BCS roster. But Nix is 342 pounds and can move.
The impact he has on games isn't easily explained on the statistics sheet. Nix had four tackles in last year's meeting and none of those stops were for losses. Through four games this season, he's only been credited with 14 stops.
But it's the runs that he's forced to the outside, the pockets he collapsed when a quarterback is trying to throw and the runs between the guards that were simply never called that best illustrate Nix's impact.

Comments about RhythmTech Skratcher Mounted Cabasa:
I really like this it substitutes as my hi hat on my percussion kit. I attached it to a cymbal stand and it is under my bongos great sound and easy to reach.
This is a great idea, not only does it give you a great cabasa sound at your fingertips but it is mountable and easy to play if you have a percussion set where you are using your hands.
Well built and strong no issues so far.
Could be cheaper but then so could everything.

A new movie set in the past is claiming to tell the real story of John Smith and Pocahontas.
"Read some history books and find out what really happened because that's a much more compelling and interesting story." said Karenne Wood, a member of the Virginia Council On Indians.
That's the advice Karenne Wood, a member of the Virginia Council On Indians, offers after seeing The New World, starring Colin Farrell.
The movie is based around the legend of John Smith and Pocahontas, but local Native Americans feel the movie's depiction of history is inaccurate.
"The only two native American woman that have shown up in history are Pocahontas and Sacajewea and their both helping the white people. So you don't get any complexity of character or any sense that these people were intelligent and may have had motives of their own," said Wood.
That's why she and others are disappointed with what they're calling a blatant disregard of the facts.
"It's bewildering to me why anyone would spend $30 million to make a movie, $45 million to promote and then blow $75 million total by not doing a shade more research and devotion to the writing of the scripts," said Historical Writer Avery Chenoweth.
Both Wood and Chenoweth believe the nature of Pocahontas and Smith's relationship in the movie is misleading.
"To imagine a father and his daughter is probably more accurate than imagining a young man with a teenage engenue, who just stepped out of a playboy magazine."
But movie watchers say it's not the historical aspect that draws them to the theaters, it's the entertainment.
"When you're watching the movie you don't think of it as you're going to write an essay about it," said Ashleigh Bourne.
"It's just something to keep me occupied," agreed Justin Kuper.
The movie was written and directed by Terrence Malick and was released nationwide in January.

There was an illuminating exchange in Rep. Nancy Pelosi's press conference yesterday regarding Sen. Cornyn's bill that would restrict the use of federal funds in cases where eminent domain is used for economic development purposes. Here's the excerpt:
- Q Later this morning, many Members of the House Republican leadership, along with John Cornyn from the Senate, are holding a news conference on eminent domain, the decision of the Supreme Court the other day, and they are going to offer legislation that would restrict it, prohibiting federal funds from being used in such a manner.
Two questions: What was your reaction to the Supreme Court decision on this topic, and what do you think about legislation to, in the minds of opponents at least, remedy or changing it?
Ms. Pelosi. As a Member of Congress, and actually all of us and anyone who holds a public office in our country, we take an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Very central to that in that Constitution is the separation of powers. I believe that whatever you think about a particular decision of the Supreme Court, and I certainly have been in disagreement with them on many occasions, it is not appropriate for the Congress to say we're going to withhold funds for the Court because we don't like a decision.
Q Not on the Court, withhold funds from the eminent domain purchases that wouldn't involve public use. I apologize if I framed the question poorly. It wouldn't be withholding federal funds from the Court, but withhold Federal funds from eminent domain type purchases that are not just involved in public good.
Ms. Pelosi. Again, without focusing on the actual decision, just to say that when you withhold funds from enforcing a decision of the Supreme Court you are, in fact, nullifying a decision of the Supreme Court. This is in violation of the respect for separation of church -- powers in our Constitution, church and state as well. Sometimes the Republicans have a problem with that as well. But forgive my digression.
So the answer to your question is, I would oppose any legislation that says we would withhold funds for the enforcement of any decision of the Supreme Court no matter how opposed I am to that decision. And I'm not saying that I'm opposed to this decision, I'm just saying in general.
Q Could you talk about this decision? What you think of it?
Ms. Pelosi. It is a decision of the Supreme Court. If Congress wants to change it, it will require legislation of a level of a constitutional amendment. So this is almost as if God has spoken. It's an elementary discussion now. They have made the decision.
Q Do you think it is appropriate for municipalities to be able to use eminent domain to take land for economic development?
Ms. Pelosi. The Supreme Court has decided, knowing the particulars of this case, that that was appropriate, and so I would support that.
I'll give her a mulligan for the ludicrous misunderstanding about withholding funding for the Court. Doh!
But to go on and claim that such a measure would be "withhold[ing] funds from enforcing a decision of the Supreme Court" is almost as inexplicably ludicrous. I'n no legal scholar, but it still seems pretty clear to me that the fact that an activity has been deemed Constitutional by the Court has no bearing on Congress' willingness to allocate (or remove, as the case may be) funding for that activity.
A commenter on Volokh's site agrees: "The funniest thing (IMHO) about Pelosi's comment is that she doesn't understand the Supreme Court's role at all. The Court has set the boundary of the eminent domain power. There is no requirement that Congress go all the way to that boundry, nor is there any requirement that Congress fund anything ever. Art. 1, � 8 of my copy of the Constitution says that funding is completely within the purview of the congress. How is it that the House Minority Leader doesn't understand the relative roles of congress and the supreme court? Can anyone explain that?"
Another is even more direct: "How about a bill appropriating federal funds to teach Rep. Pelosi that when the Supreme Court rules that a practice is constitutional, the practice is not mandatory?"
Ouch. Well deserved, though. And it is indeed frustrating that someone in her position can't even articulate a response to the "what do you think about eminent domain" question. It is simply not a serious position for a legislator to say that "I agree with whatever the Court says." When even Bernie Sanders and Tom Delay are in agreement on a decision like this, you'd think that the door is wide open to take off the partisan filter and speak freely as a citizen.

Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — Ramola Rennie was born April 20, 1932 in Hayes, Kansas to Herbert and Bertha (Strecker) Deines of Russell, Kansas. She passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 after bravely battling cancer for a full year after her initial diagnosis.
She graduated from Russell High School with the class of 1950. Two years later she met and married the love of her life, Preston George Rennie.
In the 1950s their family grew to include their son Joel Craig Rennie and daughter Julia Lynn Rennie.
Preston was a young petroleum engineer for Sohio Petroleum, whose fast track career would keep them moving from Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma, all the way to Alaska.
In addition to being an amazing wife and loving mother, Ramola was the consummate decorator, homemaker and entertainer. At each new home, she would quickly put her talents to work for the enjoyment of their friends and family.
Later in her life, Ramola channeled all of her creative gifts into floral design and became a well known and highly respected florist in the Houston area.
Ramola was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Preston, and her older sister, Shirley Ayres of Russell, Kansas.
She is survived by her son, Joel Rennie of Tulsa, Okla.; her daughter, Julia Rennie Allen and husband Jeff of Jenks, Okla.; her grandson, Taylor Rennie Allen and his wife Lauryn of Winter Garden, Fla., and her granddaughter, Rebecca Kathleen Allen of Auburn, AL.
Ramola is also survived by her beloved twin sister, Ramona Deines Allison and husband Robert of Houston, Texas.
She will forever be remembered as a wonderful cousin and aunt to numerous nieces and nephews. To the end of her life, Ramola never tired in her constant concern for the happiness and well-being of others. She will be greatly missed by those that she loved and cared for.
A memorial service for Ramola will be held 11 a.m. Friday, May 3, 2013 in the Rose Chapel at Boston Avenue Methodist Church, Tulsa, Okla.
At a later date, the family will travel to Pauls Valley, Okla., where the remains of Ramola and Preston will be scattered upon their grave sites.
In lieu of flowers, friends may contribute in Ramola's memory to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Oklahoma, 500 N. Broadway, Suite 250, Oklahoma City, OK 73102 or St. Francis Hospice, 6600 S. Yale Ave., Tulsa, OK 74136.
Services are under the direction of Ninde Funeral Directors in Tulsa.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — We are having great difficulty realizing that Labor Day has come and gone. Our calendar confirms that. But we seem to find ourselves thinking the calendar cannot possibly be right and we are really only just past the Fourth of July. Yet we cannot reconcile that thinking with the fact that the football season is once again in full swing.
Unfortunately, it is time that we make the switch from our summer projects, which this year has been working on a number of needlepoint projects, to our winter projects. Winter projects include things like finishing the quilt we started earlier this year so we can give it to the Widge for her fourth birthday; scanning the family photos so they can be put on CDs for other family members; blocking a number of needlepoint projects that our grandmother did years ago so we can dole them out to other family members; and continuing work on our ongoing book project. It looks to be a busy winter ahead.
Of course, even with our many projects, we will still be keeping track of various and sundry events in the community. For example, there is a concert tonight, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. at Woodside Hall which will feature the four part harmony group, Ah Coopella. The concert is free, but seating is limited so reservations should be made by calling Deborah Ziegler at 373-7817.
We also note that the next meeting of the Literary Discussion Group will be held at 2:30 p.m.,Thursday, Sept. 26, at the Village of Cooperstown Library. The book for discussion will be "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. The discussion will be lead by Marie Rudloff. The meeting, as usual, is open to the public.
The group would also like to thank Woodside Hall for graciously hosting the Literary Discussion Group meetings for July and August. Not only was it very pleasant to meet at Woodside Hall, it was also very nice not to have to worry about parking.
As expected, our school tax bill has arrived and, for whatever reason, it was just a tad earlier than usual. To say that we found it less than pleasing is perhaps an understatement. The amount that we must pay this year in school taxes has gone up 4.5 percent from last year, due at least in part to the Enhanced STAR program. If we were not part of any STAR program, our taxes would have increased 4.1 percent. However, as a result of the property tax cap, the STAR reduction in taxes can now only go up as much as the overall school tax levy went up, which is 1.9 percent. Thus the people who are supposed to benefit the most from the Enhanced STAR exemption are, at least in the town of Otsego, seeing a greater increase in what they are paying than are the taxpayers without any STAR exemptions at all. Granted, without the STAR exemption, our school taxes would have gone up $176.47. With the STAR exemption we are saving $12, having to pay only an addition $164.47. So much for all the touting done by politicians about helping out our older taxpayers most of whom we are fairly confident are not receiving a 4.5 percent increase in their income.
And while we are focused on the change of seasons into fall and then winter, we must admit that our last hurrah for the summer was most pleasant. We had the opportunity to have as a house guest one of the he-we's college buddies, Jon Battle. We manage to touch base with Jon about once a year. And this year he chose to visit Cooperstown. As we cast about for a place to partake of dinner, Jon suggested the Peppermill where we, both the she-we and the he-we, had often eaten with Jon in the past. We must admit that we do not think we had been to the Peppermill of late, but nonetheless we made the trip. And we are happy to report that we had a delightful dinner with both good food and good service. However, we were somewhat taken aback, no doubt due to the fact that we dined embarrassingly early, that we were the only people in the restaurant the entire time we were there.
Fortunately, they assured us they were expecting more of a crowd later. But we quite enjoyed our very quiet dinner.
Unfortunately, that was not the case when we had lunch with friends from Pennsylvania a few days later at another local eatery. There we encountered a large table of people who talked so loudly and laughed so hysterically that it was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation. We were appalled. Our friends pronounced the group to be boorish. We thought them to be just plain rude. In retrospect we should have probably asked to be moved. But we didn't. As a result, although we had very good food and very good service, we found the ambiance to be less than pleasant.
Finally, it has been become obvious to us, not only from a marked increase in calls, but also from conversation with friends, that telemarketing calls are on the rise. And there seems to be much concern, as we move into the fall campaign season, that such unwanted calls will only increase. We have discovered over the years that being on the federal "Do Not Call List" has been very helpful. Even so, the number of unwanted calls that we are receiving of late has definitely increased. However, we hasten to point out that there are steps which can be taken that will reduce the number of calls received.
If not registered with the "Do Not Call List," do so ASAP. Signing up online can be done by visiting the website: https://www.donotcall.gov. For those without internet access, it is also possible to register by calling 1-888-382-1222.
Also, it should be noted that if an unwanted telephone call is received, it is often possible to indicate to the caller that you wish to be removed from their list. We have discovered that some calls actually, at the very end, provide an opportunity to be removed. And, if that is not the case, anyone who has caller ID can call the number back. When we have done so, we have, in all the cases, been given an opportunity to be removed from the caller's list. And although it seems to be an ongoing, and very annoying, battle, we do think using all of these options has help reduce the number of unwanted calls that we receive.

It worked for Psycho with Bates Motel. Could an Exorcist TV series be far behind?
According to Deadline, Morgan Creek, the company who controls the rights to The Exorcist property, and producer Roy Lee, whose massive list of genre credits includes Bates Motel, The Woman in Black, The Grudge, The Ring, and their assorted sequels, is shopping around a script, and has interest from both network and cable channels. Last year, the pair took out a limited-series Exorcist script from Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene) but it never got picked up. This time, the project is a traditional series (read: lotsa seasons) written by Jeremy Slater (who is writing the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot) and is said to be a "brand new take" from the first version of the project.
Perhaps the success of film-to-television projects like Bates Motel and Hannibal spurred the newfound interest in the project. Perhaps this new take on the story is just that compelling. Either way, I think an exorcism TV series is a great idea. I cannot think of another TV series whose focus was on exorcism (though I think I heard a reality show is in the works).

Maplewood resident Larry Dell says he spends a lot of time in the South Mountain Reservation — especially after October's nor'easter.
It was during his time in the Reservation, Dell studied the storm's damage to nature and the foliage that he got the idea to do something positive with the twigs and branches.
"I come up here often and after the snowstorm, there were so many trees and twigs down," said Dell. "I decided I'd utilize these twigs and trees into this structure."
Dell collected the trees and branches and tightly wove them together in a pyramid shape. He then painted the sculpture a metallic aluminum color.
The 9½-foot-tall, 5-foot-wide sculpture he created is made exclusively of storm-damaged twigs and branches and was dedicated Monday, Nov. 26 after being mounted in front of the South Mountain Dog Park on Crest Drive in the Reservation.
According to the South Mountain Conservancy, a group dedicated to preserving the South Mountain Reservation with volunteers who focus on trash pick-up and erosion control, the idea behind the Wildflower Sculpture Project is to introduce public art into the Reservation to raise awareness about the reservation's natural beauty as well as unite the disciplines of nature and art. The curator behind the project is Conservancy member Tricia Zimic.
"I just think this piece in particular fits so beautifully with this environment," Zimic said.
Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., who helped spearhead the project, also attended the dedication.
DiVincenzo said he hopes to see more artwork installed in the Reservation.
"I'd like to see this all over," DiVincenzo said, pointing to the sculpture. "I'd like to bring other artists here and bring their artwork here. Whatever it costs, I'll raise the money to be able to mount it and to do what we need to do here."

hi, i am 35 now , i feel my joints sometimes and tendons hurts , it begins ;-) . so when i am getting older how should i train ? is the westside barbell training good til the end ? or kills it my joints more and more if i train and compete raw ? is it smarter to go on a program like 531 where i don't go to the max every week ? i also have a job (stonemason) where i must lift heavy sometimes and my hips , knees and back are working hard ..
which trainingstyle is better , is the conjugate method ideal because of strengthing the tendons , or is there a faster ruin of my joints ?
i mean specially the squat / deadlift training .

I'm close to 40 and have been training harder than ever the past few years. (I've been consistently training for 28 years too.) Recently, I adopted a lot of Westside principles in my training and have been making progress (at a lower bodyweight) and have felt better all-around. I have issues with my elbow, forearm and both knees, as a point-of-reference. I do squat in loose briefs year-round, which I think helps keep me "healthy."
The one thing I try not to think about is "getting older." The one thing I do think about is training correctly, and efficiently. I've had some recent injuries, but many of them have to do with another hobby: bending steel, and not powerlifting. I won't look at age as a limiting factor, just as a reminder to train smarter.

I'm 36. I've had periods where I train raw for months or mostly in gear. I find raw lifting much harder on muscle recovery and geared lifting worse for CNS and joint recovery. Mixing raw and geared seems to work the best.

The Tribune-Star
Terre Haute native Steve Weatherford has been a fixture in his hometown since his NFL career began in 2006. The New York Giants punter returns on a regular basis to help with numerous charitable activities, including a 5K run and a popular June football camp.
The Vigo County School Corp., and Superintendent Dan Tanoos, want to repay Weatherford by giving him a postseason trip to Hawaii for the NFL's Pro Bowl.
VCSC has put on a full-court press to encourage the Wabash Valley to vote for Weatherford for the Pro Bowl, the NFL's all-star game.
Tanoos has long been known for his support for area athletes and his effort to put Weatherford in the Pro Bowl is no exception.
"Steve is a good friend not only to me and my family, but a tremendous friend to VCSC in his efforts to clothe and see needs of children in Vigo County. There's a lot of things he does that people are unaware of," Tanoos said. "It's a way for us to repay him. In addition, I think he's the best punter, as he showed in the Super Bowl last year, and he deserves it."
Weatherford does not currently lead the NFC's Pro Bowl voting, which concludes on Dec. 17. New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead tops the NFC punter vote count at 75,763 as of Wednesday. Weatherford is currently averaging 46.9 yards per punt for the Giants, his highest career average. Morstead leads the NFC at 50 yards per punt.
Tanoos' efforts on Weatherford's behalf have been tireless. Committees were put into place near the beginning of the school year to coordinate VCSC's efforts to help Weatherford's Pro Bowl cause.
To that end, principals at VCSC schools have encouraged faculty and students to get on a computer during free time and vote for Weatherford.
There's a permanent link on the VCSC website to direct interested fans who want to vote for Weatherford.
"I've been in contact with the sports information director at Illinois [Weatherford's college alma mater] and he's let their 50,000 followers know about it. We've been active with local media. We've taken an all-out effort," Tanoos said.
Terre Haute North High School, Weatherford's local alma mater, even devoted their winter display at Deming Park to his Pro Bowl cause.
The advocacy by VCSC on Weatherford's behalf might appear unusual to those who aren't sports fans or who believe it goes beyond the bounds of a school corporation's mission.
Tanoos said the effort fits in with his general philosophy on how schools should interact with students both when they're in school and when they leave.
"I've told our coaches that we're not coaches for a season, we're coaches for a lifetime with our students. That's a philosophy I think is important," Tanoos said. "We are going to be there for them until they've reached a point in their life where they no longer need our services in terms of guidance."
Tanoos counts Weatherford among the many former students he considers a close friend.
"Some of my closest friends are former students. In Steve's case, it's a repayment and a way to say thank you for what you did after you graduated. He's never forgotten about the kids here," Tanoos said.

WEATHERFORD — The last two of eight inmates who allegedly escaped in a transport van in western Oklahoma when guards stopped to take at least one ill prisoner to a hospital and left the keys in the vehicle were recaptured Tuesday, police said.
Lester Burns and Michael Coleman were taken into custody shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday in Weatherford, according to Assistant Police Chief Louis Flowers.
"Somebody called in on them. They saw them in the backyard of a residence," Flowers said.
The two were arrested in the backyard of the home in eastern Weatherford by Custer County deputies who were assisting in the search. There were no injuries, Flowers said.
The inmates are from jails in the western and northern United States, Flowers said, and were being transported by Prisoner Transportation Services of Nashville, Tenn. The company confirmed it was transporting the inmates, but declined further comment because an investigation was ongoing.
Coleman was being held for assault and Burns for failure to pay child support, according to Flowers. He said he did not know what state or states the men were originally being held.
One or two of the inmates fell ill near Weatherford, which is about an hour west of Oklahoma City on Interstate 40, Cox said.
Flowers said the inmates were left in a locked compartment inside the van as a guard began taking some of them to a restroom.
"Two of the prisoners kicked the partition out and were able to gain access to the front of the van. ... The keys were still in the van as far as we know, and it was still running," Flowers said.
