Gas Prices and Global Consumption
Cheap gas makes people use too much of it — that's the takeaway from a study in this month's American Economic Review. In "The Economic Cost of Global Fuel Subsidies," Lucas Davis, a associate professor at Berkeley's Haas Business School, uses World Bank data to show that countries with consumer fuel subsides have higher fuel consumption.
Crude and refined oil are traded internationally, so their wholesale prices are similar everywhere. What causes such a great variation in price — from $0.08 a gallon in Venezuela to $9.61 in Turkey — are taxes and subsidies. Mr. Davis determined countries' subsidies by calculating the difference between domestic consumer prices and international spot prices, and factoring in distribution, transport and retail costs. Basically, if what people pay at the pump is less than the cost of the fuel and its related costs, he considers the fuel subsidized. Without factoring in external costs to the environment, Mr. Davis estimates the opportunity cost of gasoline everywhere to be roughly $3.57 per gallon.
Using this rationale, he determined that 24 countries subsided gas and 35 subsidized diesel in 2012, totaling $110 billion in fuel subsidies world-wide. Compared to countries without fuel subsidies, these countries generally use more fuel than necessary. According to the report, "subsidies create deadweight loss by enabling transactions for which the buyer's willingness-to-pay is below the opportunity cost."
In other words:"When you price gas at seven cents a gallon, people figure out a lot of ways to use a lot of it," Mr. Davis said. For example, Saudi Arabia, where gas is 60 cents per gallon,"uses massive amounts of fuel whenever it produces anything," he said. "It's wasteful production."
Mr. Davis said artificially low fuel prices can also be bad for the economy.
"If the government of Venezuela gave cash to its people, they'd consume a lot more of everything," Mr. Davis said. "Free gas means people drive a lot more but are poor in other ways — it leads to a terrible allocation of goods in the economy."
The U.S. is a bit of an outlier in this theory. U.S. subsidies are on the production end, which Mr. Davis said only amounts to "cents" worth of savings on the consumer end. Because Americans pay more than the opportunity cost for fuel at the pump, Mr. Davis doesn't consider its fuel to be subsidized — but that doesn't stop Americans from using lots of fuel.
There are a number of reasons Americans consume so much gas. First of all, even without consumer subsidies, fuel doesn't make up a huge share of U.S. income and it is lightly taxed compared to other OECD countries (An average of $0.49 a gallon in the U.S compared to $4.00 in Germany and the Netherlands). Mr. Davis said U.S. taxes don't reflect the huge external costs of excess driving — roadwork, traffic congestion, accidents, and carbon dioxide emissions — which he approximates should be about double what Americans pay in taxes per gallon.
The U.S. also has a historical car culture that has influenced the layout of the cities. "Drive around L.A.," he said, "It's very different from driving around Paris."

West Virginia Wesleyan College's jazz ensembles will present their annual fall concert at 8 p.m. Friday in the Virginia Thomas Law Center for Performing Arts on the Buckhannon campus.
The event is free and open to the public.
Dr. James Moore, director of jazz ensembles and associate professor of music, said the concert again features a new ensemble.
"This year we started a New Orleans style brass band in the mold of groups like 'The Dirty Dozen' and 'Rebirth Brass Band.'" He said, "This group has been lots of fun. We have learned the repertoire by ear, trying to avoid using written music wherever possible."
Moore said improvisation is at the heart of the group's experience.
"We have many students on campus who are immersed in modern jazz improvisation, particularly bebop. This ensemble has helped those students to focus on a more traditional, rhythmically charged style of jazz improvisation." Moore said the challenge lies in creating interesting solos using rhythm rather than complex songs.
"Just because the melodies are simple does not make this easier. If anything, it is a greater challenge."
The brass band will perform New Orleans standards and other selections in the style of modern New Orleans jazz.
"As far as I know," Moore said," we are the only college or university in West Virginia that has such an ensemble."
The West Virginia Wesleyan Big Band will follow the brass band, presenting a program of music from the Count Basie era. This group, the jazz area's premiere ensemble, often presents theme concerts as the culminating experience of a semester studying the music of a particular composer or arranger.
"We really value the big band experience at Wesleyan," says Moore. "The skills that the students develop in this kind of ensemble are very important for anyone who wants to pursue a career in jazz or commercial music performance at the professional level."
Of equal importance, according to Moore, is the fact that the big band represents a uniquely American approach to ensemble playing.
"The big band really is America's version of the symphonic ensemble. In other words, the big band is our orchestra," says Moore.
"I think the music of Count Basie and those arrangers who worked for him is an indelible part of American music that students need to study. Jazz music really is unique in that it reflects the values of the African American experience while at the same time serving as high art that is uniquely American."
Various small groups of students will round out the concert, performing original arrangements and compositions under the tutelage of Curtis Johnson and Jeff Bush, both adjunct lecturers of music and jazz.
Wesleyan's music department is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, the only private college in West Virginia to hold the distinction.
More information is available from Moore at email@example.com.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Hollidaysburg Borough Council President John Stultz Jr. held onto the Republican nomination for mayor by two votes through Friday's counting of absentee ballots and a review of write-in votes. But the winner of the Republican nomination for Greenfield Township supervisor has changed, the latest unofficial results show.
LeeAnn Lightner, 3668 Pine Hollow Road, Claysburg, won the party's nomination to run for Greenfield Township supervisor with 105 votes.
On Tuesday night, results showed Glenn Wenzel, 134 Boiling Springs Extension, Imler, one vote ahead with 102 votes to Lightner's 101. But during Friday's review, Lightner received four additional votes from absentee ballots, so she has won the nomination, Blair County Elections Director Sarah Seymour said Friday.
"I was surprised, but I'm very, very pleased," Lightner said. "You're never really sure how these things are going to go, and you don't want to get your hopes up. But I feel good about it."
In the fall, Lightner will be up against Democratic party nominee James Betar, 399 Bedford St., Claysburg, for the six-year seat on the supervisor's board.
In the Hollidaysburg mayor's race, Stultz, 1015 Walnut St., had a 20-vote margin on Tuesday night for the Republican nomination over incumbent Mayor Joe Dodson, 522 Wayne St., when unofficial totals showed a vote of 431-411.
During Friday's review of 48 absentee ballots applicable to Hollidaysburg races, Dodson picked up 33 votes to end with 444. Stultz picked up 15 votes from absentee ballots and ended with 446.
Stultz also won the Democratic nomination, Seymour said. Posted results show Stultz with 86 write-in votes to Dodson's 65 write-in votes.
Friday's review also showed another contest decided by two votes.
In Tyrone Township, Michael Luther, 546 Hobbit Hollow Road, sought and won the Republican nomination for a six-year supervisor seat. On election night, Luther had 110 votes, four more than his opponent, Raymond H. Paul Jr., 3888 Kettle Road. But on Friday, Paul picked up two absentee votes so he finished with 108. In the fall, Luther will be up against Gary P. Garofoli who won the Democratic nomination.
Friday's review also show Charlie Mills of Tyrone received 42 write-in ballots to win the Democratic nomination for mayor. He will be up against Bill Fink, 401 Washington Ave., who won the Republican nomination and came in second on the Democratic ballot, with 39 write-in votes.
Blair County's election numbers will remain unofficial at least through Wednesday, the last day for the receipt of one outstanding military ballot the county elections office provided.
Results can be reviewed at www.blairco.org.

It didn't take the family long to discover a passion for tennis as Austin started taking lessons at the I'On Club and quickly learned all about the new game.
Austin Heinz has never wavered in his commitment to the game. And Palmetto Christian Academy has been one of the primary beneficiaries of that commitment since he joined the school's tennis team as a sixth grader.
Four state championships and a tennis scholarship to Samford University later, Heinz is The Post and Courier's Lowcountry boys tennis player of the year for 2014. Heinz has been ranked as high as No. 1 in South Carolina and the South, and 27th nationally.
Heinz is joined on the All-Lowcountry team by former Pinewood Prep two-time All-Lowcountry Adam Elliget, now of Summerville High School, and repeat selections Lukas Zalesky of Bishop England, and Seth Pinosky and Brant Fenno of Porter-Gaud. Wando seventh-grader Jacob Jahn is the lone first-timer on the team.
Heinz, Zalesky and Pinosky are seniors, while Elliget is a junior and Fenno is an eighth-grader.
The coach of the year is Ronnie DuPre, who guided West Ashley to a 13-3 record and a runner-up finish in Region 7-AAAA. The Wildcats won only two matches in 2013.
In a time when many top junior tennis players are committed only to improving their skills while ignoring high school tennis, Heinz remained committed to the small private school in Mount Pleasant.
"I just stuck with Palmetto Christian and it paid off. It was a comfortable place for me," Heinz said. "Where I lived I could have gone to Wando. There are a lot of good things about PCA. For one thing, we were winning a bunch of state championships at the high school level, and the travel to state championships and playing that high level of tennis was one of the good things when I was younger."
Playing for longtime PCA coach and Family Circle pro Dewey Caulder was special for Heinz.
"Coach Caulder was a lot more than just a coach," Heinz said. "He taught me important lessons outside of tennis when I was younger."
Caulder had high praise for Heinz and what he has meant to the PCA tennis program.
"Austin never missed a match . . . he always wanted to play, no matter the level of the competition," Caulder said.
When the Family Circle Tennis Center opened and Fritz Nau moved in with his academy, Heinz switched to the world-class facility that is only about a mile from his home and where his mother currently serves as the membership director. His father is an ordained minister.
As Heinz looks forward to the next step in his tennis and academic life at Samford, he said, "For me as of right now, I want to immediately play in the top six ... I want to start in singles.
"I am going to get to come back to Charleston and play against some of the local teams, too."

At least one oversight committee member had concerns last year about $25 million CPRIT grant
AUSTIN – Among the questions hanging over Texas' cancer-fighting agency are a few fundamental ones about its governing board.
Why did the 11-member oversight committee of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas not see or catch the agency's problems, many of them dating to 2010? Or if they did, why didn't committee members ring the bell to let taxpayers know?
A state audit released last week found extensive problems in how CPRIT operated, from flaws in the way applications were reviewed to failures in tracking how public dollars were spent. CPRIT hands out up to $300 million a year for cancer prevention, for university research, and to companies trying to develop better ways to treat cancer.
As my colleague Sue Goetinck Ambrose and I reported on Sunday, those same flaws plagued a $25 million grant that the oversight committee awarded in June, 2010 to create a statewide network to move cancer treatments rapidly from laboratories to patients.
The grant recipient, a nonprofit group called the Statewide Clinical Trials Network of Texas, or CTNeT, collapsed last week, just one day after the release of the state audit report.

Frequently Asked Questions About Student Employment
LCC student employment is offered on a per semester basis to students who maintain at least half-time enrollment (full-time enrollment for qualified international students) at Lansing Community College. It is "at will" employment which means the employee is not under contract, is only hired for an indefinite period of time and can be dismissed at any time for any non-discriminatory reason.
What are the eligibility requirements for on-campus student employment?
To be eligible for student employment, students must meet the following criteria:
Must be at least 18 years of age and/or a high school graduate who is at least 17 years of age
Must have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) and card
Must be eligible to work in the United States of America (i.e. U.S. citizen, resident alien, refugee, political asylee) or enrolled full-time as an international student (i.e. non-resident alien) with an F-1 or M-1 visa and a valid I-20 issued by Lansing Community College
Have and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (requirement does not apply while enrolled in your first semester at LCC)
Enroll for 6 credits minimum in Fall and/or Spring Semesters, 3 credits minimum in Summer Semester. International students with an F-1/M-1 visa enrolled for 12 credits minimum in Fall and/or Spring Semesters; 3 credits minimum in Summer Semester. All credits must be taken for either a numerical grade or pass/fail basis. Audited courses and incompletes ("I" grades that carryover from previous semesters) do not apply toward employment eligibility. International students who claim exemption from the minimum enrollment requirements outlined above must obtain an approved visa exception from the Primary Designated School Official (PDSO) for international students on a per semester basis.
How many hours per week are student employees and interns allowed to work?
Student employees and student interns may work a maximum of 25 hours per week during any semester. The weekly work hour maximum of 25 applies year-round; student employees are not allowed to work additional hours at any time throughout the year (i.e. semester break periods and/or between semesters).
International students (i.e. F-1/M-1 visa holders) are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week as regulated by the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (USDHS). An international student employee may be allowed to work more than 20 hrs./week during the summer semester, but may not exceed the 25-hour maximum that applies to all LCC student staff positions. However, exceptions to the 20-hour maximum for international students must be addressed on a case-by-case basis and requires the approval of LCC's Primary Designated School Official (PDSO) for International Students located in Enrollment Services.
What is Work Study and how do I know if I am eligible to participate in the Work Study Program?
The Federal Work Study Program provides access to student employment opportunities -- both on and off-campus. Students may be eligible for the Federal Work Study award, by indicating their interest on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) -- available through the LCC's Office of Financial Aid. The Work Study award is actually a "maximum eligibility amount" that the student may earn up to, if they secure a qualified student employment position. The award amount can be viewed by logging in to the student's Banner Self Service account, if the student qualifies. The award is then paid-out, to the student, in the form of wages. These Work Study "earnings" may be used to assist with various education-related expenses. Once the student attains their maximum eligibility amount through gross earnings, employment may be terminated.
Student employment is based upon skills and abilities -- not necessarily financial need. Therefore, Work Study-eligible students are not guaranteed a job. However, Work Study-eligibility does provide unique opportunities for either on-campus student employment offered by the College or for off-campus Work Study employment offered by qualified non-profit organizations and/or local/state/federal public agencies. Contact Career and Employment Services to explore what opportunities are available. CES also provides both on- and off-campus employment opportunities to students who have not received a Work Study award, regardless of financial need.
What is the rate of pay for student employment/Work Study positions?
The rate of pay for all LCC Student Employee positions is $8.50 /hour.
The rate of pay for LCC Student Intern positions is $9.35 /hour.
The rate of pay varies for off-campus Work-Study positions, depending on the employer.
The rate of pay for the America Reads tutoring program is $9.36 /hour.
How do I apply for student employment positions?
There are a variety of both on-campus and off-campus Work Study positions available to eligible LCC students. Students should check job listings weekly at Career and Employment Services or through our web-based job posting system, CES JobLink.
On-Campus Student Employment:
Both Work Study and Non-Work Study eligible students may apply for on-campus positions. Students must first register on CES JobLink and complete the LCC Student Employment Application, then apply for positions on-line.
Off-Campus Work Study:
Only Work Study eligible students may apply for off-campus Work Study positions. In order to access posted off-campus Work Study (WS) positions and officially secure employment, Career and Employment Services (CES) must first verify the student's WS eligibility status for the current financial aid year. Once eligibility has been confirmed, CES issues an Assignment Sheet for each position requested. Each Assignment Sheet provides relevant employer information such as: the contact person's name, phone number and mailing address. Each Assignment Sheet is valid for a maximum of 2 weeks from the date it is issued to the student. Therefore, it is important to contact the employer, in a timely manner, and complete any additional application forms and/or arrange a meeting/interview for the specified position. The student must take the Assignment Sheet to the employer, during the initial meeting; this form verifies to the employer that the student has WS eligibility, the eligibility (award) amount and the date the student's WS eligibility expires. The employer will then determine whether or not to hire the student for the specified position.

The device must navigate on its own once it's released on the sandy course, where it must avoid obstacles to seek a beacon transmitting at a specific frequency. It must weigh less than 1.5 kilograms, have parts that cost less than a total of $500 and be "no bigger than the average cat," according to Dr. Suzanne Taylor, faculty advisor for the project and Western assistant professor of physics.

- Love them Review by Kimberly
- Love them! (Posted on 1/30/14)
- FreshLook ClorBlends Review by Samantha
They give good customer service, and a great range of items. I came here originally because I wanted coloured contact lenses, however because my eyes are so bad(-7 (maybe worse now)) I'm not able to wear normal coloured lenses (they only go down to -6, if they even have any strength to them at all).
Get lenses are one of the only sites that allow me to purchase colours in the strength I need.
Thanks AALens (Posted on 12/24/13)
- fun look Review by Jane
- I like the contacts although I was hoping the color would be a little brighter since I have dark brown eyes but they were good enough for me to be satisfied. I appreciate they give you a contact lens case. I want contacts that look dramatically lighter...any suggestions for dark brown eyes? (Posted on 12/6/13)
- Overall OK Review by Cole
They don't do much for my eye colour, but can definitely notice the difference, the colour will take some getting used to as I see flashes of grey when I blink.
Overall I'd say they are very good and I was extremely happy to find coloured lenses -6. (Posted on 12/1/13)
- easily broke but still OK Review by Andrew
- I liked the color of them a lot! They were a bit big though,and I had trouble putting them in. They also broke easily, but I am glad I bought a back up pair! (Posted on 11/20/13)
- Great Service Review by Tristan
- Great item! Loved the color and the shipping was faster than expected. Customer service is awesome as well. I posted a photo of me wearing the contacts on my Instagram. (Posted on 10/30/13)

- I placed my order and was so very happy with the service! I needed to email your team and received a response in one day. Contacts came perfect, on time, and beautiful! (Posted on 10/10/13)
- Natural Look Review by Emma
- Love how natural they look! I have dark brown eyes, and they make my eyes look like a believable shade of blue gray. I was concerned at first with how they would look on dark brown eyes, but these are the most natural looking color contact lenses I've ever tried. I would highly recommend them to anybody who enjoys experimenting with color! (Posted on 9/6/13)
- FreshLook ClorBlends Review by Madison
- I have dark chocolate brown eyes and have always wanted blue eyes. Brilliant blue has made my eyes like a bright sapphire amazing rich blue and people look twice at my eyes. I am blown away and over the moon about this colour product and hope that they never take it off the market. (Posted on 9/4/13)

By Philip Cmor
Claudia Gironda's son, Tyler, just couldn't put the letter down.
"He must have looked at that letter for 20 minutes," she said.
Over the next 2 1/2 hours, the younger Gironda said he read the letter 25 to 30 times.
"I still was in utter disbelief," Tyler Gironda said.
It seemed to be a dream. Actually, it was a dream come true.
Tyler Gironda figured he'd better get used to wearing crimson in college as a defensive lineman on the IUP football team. The recent Central Cambria High School product won't have to change the color scheme in his wardrobe much, but he'll be in a whole different situation after a whim application turned into a spot as a non-scholarship player on the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team this fall for the 6-foot-1, 215-pound fullback.
"He said, 'I don't know how good I am. Maybe I'm going to get killed,' he said, 'but maybe I'm going to contribute in a couple of years,'" Gironda's father, Steve said. "He said, 'I'm willing to endure that and have a chance to play and never have to lose anymore.'"
The grandson of longtime college and high school coach Chuck Gironda, Tyler will head to Tuscaloosa to enroll on July 1. This week he's practicing for the Ken Lantzy Finest 40 All-Star Classic, which will be played on Friday night at Johnstown High School's Trojan Stadium.
Gironda found out he'd be part of the Tide's 130-man roster after a visit with his mother and uncle, Ray Gironda, the first week of April, when he met with strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran and the program's new director of player personnel, Kevin Steele. He'll compete in fall drills to try to make it onto the 105-man roster Alabama will take into the actually season.
"At the end [of the meeting with Steele], I figured it would just be 'Thanks for coming down. We'll talk to you later,'" Gironda said. "He told me 'You need to apply, be accepted, take care of your housing and have your NCAA clearinghouse number.' I told him I did and his whole mood changed. He got a little bit excited. He wrote it down and said I'd be getting a letter in two weeks to tell me if I made it."
It took about a week longer than that, but Gironda got his letter.
"I talked to my grandfather," Gironda said. "He said, 'Well, it looks like you made it.'"
It was the culmination of an improbable chain of events that could have been out of a Hollywood script. Gironda has a solid career on a Central Cambria team that won four games total his junior and senior years, but nothing that indicated he could play for a perennial national championship contender Division I college team: He rushed for a team-high 232 yards, hauled in nine receptions and made 55 tackles in 2012 for the Red Devils.
It probably was his 10 tackles for losses that enticed IUP to recruit him as a five-technique defensive tackle.
However, one lazy day things were about to take a sharp turn south, literally, when Central Cambria librarian and former English teacher Jeanene Criste thought Gironda had a little bit too much time on his hands in study hall.
"She said 'Why don't you do something productive with your time. What's your dream school?'" Tyler recalled. "I told her and she said 'Why don't you apply?' So I filled out the application and sent it in, not thinking I was going to get anything back."
Two months later, Gironda, who grew up a Penn State fan but became interested in Alabama at the prompting of friend Cody Kupchella a few years ago, received an acceptance letter.
"Then I thought, 'Well, if I'm going to go there, I might as well play football. So I sent them my tape," Tyler said.
Because of his grandfather's emphasis on strength and weight training, Gironda contacted Cochran to get his foot in the door. Cochran, in turn, put Gironda and the Tide's recruiting staff in touch with each other, and a visit was arranged.
Even that, though, had an unusual twist.
"I went upstairs [to the recruiting coordinator's office] and it was a completely different guy than who I'd been emailing the last couple of months," Gironda said of meeting Steele. "He said, 'I have no idea who you are. Don't take offense to that; I have no idea who anybody is.'"
Steele, it turns out, had just come aboard after his predecessor left abruptly to take a job at Texas.
Gironda's meeting with Steele, though, went exceptionally well, just like the rest of the trip. Gironda got his workout program and got to tour the weight room and see the Tide's trophy room, including Mark Ingram's Heisman from a couple of years ago.
"The facilities were so impressive," said Claudia Gironda, who played lacrosse and field hockey at Shippensburg University. "Their practice field is amazing. You walk into the athletic building where the football office is and in the back there's a spiral staircase and then there's a Heisman and their national championships. It's very clear how important football is there. Then, when you enter the football office, you can't just walk back. You have to be escorted."
"It was pretty much in his head, I could tell by the look on his face, that he was going to choose it."
Claudia Gironda said she was surprised how eager the Alabama coaches were to host her, her brother-in-law, who lives about 45 minutes away, and her son. Alabama wanted Tyler to enroll in May to get a head start in the program.
However, Gironda wouldn't have graduated from high school by then. Also, he told Steele that he really had his heart set on playing in the Lantzy game.
"My family's been in it. My grandfather coached it. Both my uncles were in it. My dad was in it. My cousins were in it. So, it was just a thing that, if I made it, I was going to do it, because it was a family tradition, and I'm going to be the last one in it for a long time," Tyler said.
Gironda has been told he'll have an opportunity to come back to IUP if things don't work out in Tuscaloosa. However, the odds don't seem to be entirely against him sticking with the Crimson Tide. Alabama only uses a fullback or H-back 15 percent of the time, but it also only has two currently on the roster, with Gironda and possibly one other incoming player competing for spots on the 105-man roster.
"One hundred percent dedication, working hard at everything and not giving up, that was a really big point that [Steele made]," Gironda said of what was expected of him to have a chance to make the playing team. "No matter how hard it is, you can't quit."
That doesn't seem to be a problem. Gironda likes to fish and ride all-terrain vehicles in addition to hunting when he's not in the weight room or football field, and he has his heart set on hunting down a Tide jersey and spot on the field somewhere.
"When I saw that look on his face, I knew that was where he wanted to be," Claudia Gironda said. "I think you've got to follow your dream.
"He wants to be part of something great."

Mohawk at Hopewell-Loudon
Records: Mohawk 1-4, 1-1 MAL; Hopewell-Loudon 4-1, 2-0 MAL.
Coaches: Mohawk, Erik Baker; Hopewell-Loudon, Jeremy Nutter.
Last week: Mohawk destroyed North Baltimore 73-15; Hopewell-Loudon beat Lakota 48-27.
Last year: Hopewell-Loudon topped Mohawk 41-19.
Outlook: After losing its first four games, Mohawk came up big last week against North Baltimore. Gunnar Johnson ran for more than 300 yards and for five touchdowns, and Eric Maskey had two interceptions, one of which he ran back for a touchdown.
Baker is hoping it's just the start of something.
"We are really working on constantly improving," he said. "In order for us to be successful, we need contributions not just from Gunnar Johnson and Eric Maskey, but also from our QB (Grant Gucker), wingback (Logan Stillberger) and split ends (Mitch Parker, Juston Morter, Ryan Strausbaugh). We need to build on what we are doing well and make defenses defend multiple players."
Nutter said he's impressed with Johnson.
"We watched film, he's an impressive running back, one of the top athletes in the MAL," he said.
H-L has a pretty good running back in Malone, who is the league's second leading rusher.
"Hopewell's pistol running game is very well-crafted," Baker said. "Their mix of zone, trap and counter plays in combination with the formations they use really put stress on your defense. Combine that with the talents of Cody Malone and they present quite a challenge."
For his part, Nutter said the Mohawk defense can cause problems.
"They're athletic all over the field and that concerns me," Nutter said. "That's something we need to prevent, we can't allow their defense to put us in a bad spot and put points on the board."
Galion at Buckeye Central
Records: Galion 5-0, 2-0 NCC; Buckeye Central 1-4, 0-2 NCC.
Coaches: Galion, Chris Hawkins; Buckeye Central, Jeffrey Niedermier.
Last week: Galion destroyed Crestline 63-8; Buckeye Central lost to Colonel Crawford 38-13.
Last year: Did not play
Outlook: The road just keeps getting tougher for Buckeye Central.
In the last three weeks, the Bucks have gone up against perennially tough Wynford, Colonel Crawford (the No. 11 team in Division VI) and now host Galion (5-0, No. 12 team in Division V).
"All very good teams," Niedermier said.
Niedermier singled out defending Dareian Watkins, the dual threat quarterback/receiver as a challenge.
"Watkins is a heck of an athlete, but they have so many threats and they're quick," he said.
Because of that, it's important for the Bucks that the Tigers have the ball as little as possible. Niedermier said to expect a big dose of the Bucks running the ball.
"As much as we can with a team like this we have to keep the clock moving," he said.
Wynford at Upper Sandusky
Records: Wynford 3-2, 2-0 NCC; Upper Sandusky 5-0, 2-0 NCC.
Coaches: Wynford, Gabe Helbert; Upper Sandusky, Jake Moyer.
Last week: Wynford edged Bucyrus 41-40; Upper Sandusky had an easier time with Riverdale, 54-7.
Last year: Wynford beat the Rams, 21-12.
Outlook: Upper Sandusky has won big in four of its five victories this season, but perhaps its biggest test comes Friday against the Royals.
"We knew this was gonna be one of the big challenges of the year. It's really not a secret," Moyer said.
"On the flip side, we feel like we should have won last year, and we beat ourselves. Our challenge this year is not to beat ourselves."
On the surface, Wynford doesn't appear to be quite the team it has been in past seasons, suffering two losses and just scraping by Bucyrus a week ago. But the Royals still have some playmakers.
Running back Corey Brown tops the list.
"The Brown kid is the kid we feel we have to stop, their halfback," Moyer said. "In order to stop Wynford, he's one of the main cogs of that wheel. Their quarterback (Brock Williamson), their offensive line is really a weapon. If we don't get after them they can dominate the game from their offensive line."
But Moyer said the Rams are ready.
"I think we've gained a lot of confidence and that's very important," he said. "We have several receivers and we have a good running game, and our defense is coming around where we're able to make big stops at big times."
North Baltimore at Seneca East
Records: North Baltimore 2-3; Seneca East 3-2.
Coaches: North Baltimore, Greg Bishop; Seneca East, Ed Phillips.
Last Week: Mohawk ran wild over North Baltimore in a 73-15 win while Seneca East beat rival Calvert 34-28.
Last Year: Seneca East beat North Baltimore 40-8.
Outlook: The excitement level is high right now in Attica as the entire nation is fired up - Tiger Nation that is.
"Our kids are really excited right now," Phillips said. "It's all due to the fact that you got a team in Calvert who our kids love to beat and we beat them the last time we'll get to play them.
"We put a student section in our end zone and our kids call it 'Tiger Nation.' It's become an exciting thing for the kids and our school as a whole. It's an exciting time right now. This is a fun group for us. They like to practice, they like playing, they like hitting. A let down, I don't think that's even an option. They're ready to roll."
It's time for the annual catfight where Phillips' Tigers take on North Baltimore's Tigers. Although this time around, Phillips sees the teams having more in common than just a mascot.
"They remind me a little bit of us when we were in the early stages of putting things in," Phillips said of North Baltimore's new system. "They spread you out and they throw the ball really well. They have one of the top receivers in the league and a skilled quarterback. They spread you out and get you in space. From an outsider's perspective it's a good system for them."
Seneca East and North Baltimore have the Midland Athletic League's top two passing offenses, top two quarterbacks and four of the top five receivers (two on each side). Seneca East's Ethan Caudill leads the MAL with 1,255 yards to go with 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions. North Baltimore's Lane Bishop has thrown for 1,078 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Seneca East's Adam Hall and North Baltimore's Gabe Del Los Reyes share the league's lead with 25 receptions, though Hall has outgained Del Los Reyes 448-233 and has scored 10 touchdowns.
North Baltimore's Sean Watson ranks third in the league with 23 catches for 231 yards. Alex Scheiber for Seneca East ranks fifth with 20 grabs for 283 yards.
Seneca East's preparation has been different this week from previous weeks where the team was getting ready for physical, power teams. This week getting ready for North Baltimore has allowed Phillips to have his scout team run Seneca East's own offense.
"It was really nice for our young guys this week because we've gone out and instead of having to run plays off a scout card, our young guys are running our offense pretty much," Phillips said. "I've really noticed the tempo in practice has been up. That's helping our offense. Our young guys had their best night of practice tonight because for the most part we're running our own stuff. That will really help us down the road as well."
Lakota at Fremont St. Joe
Records: Lakota 3-2, 0-2 MAL; St. Joe 3-2, 1-1 MAL.
Coaches: Lakota, David Vodika; St. Joe, Thomas Buckley.
Last week: Lakota lost 48-27 to Hopewell-Loudon; St. Joe lost 46-7 to Carey.
Last year: St. Joe won 41-12.
Outlook: A 3-0 start has turned into an 0-2 slide for Lakota, and Friday's game doesn't look any easier as the Raiders travel to St. Joe, a team looking to get back to winning after last week's lopsided loss.
It's the third week in a row Lakota will face a league foe with recent playoff experience (Calvert and St. Joe in 2012, Hopewell-Loudon in 2011) and Vodika said the Raiders are not only challenged by their foes but their own self-confidence.
"These are good teams, and I appreciate that, but it's the next step in the maturation of the Lakota Raiders. We have to believe we can go out on the field and play with those people. We have moments where we look like we believe and we have moments where we don't," he said.
"I think that for us, it's an issue of belief - believe that we're good enough, tough enough, strong enough to play with these people," he said. "The last two weeks, there's been times we were real pleased, but there are times it just looks like we're wondering what's going to happen. Our guys gotta believe. We're just trying to go about it."
St. Joseph stands in the way of that this week - specifically an experienced St. Joe line.
"They're huge up front. They have all those linemen back from last year. We have some size, but we're skinny," Vodika said.
"They have that ability, and the other thing they have is that they've been there, they want to get back there (to the playoffs)," he said. "We have to nose up to them and prove that we are good enough. It's going to be a battle."
But not a one-sided one.
The Raiders do have plenty of experience with 15 veterans, several of whom are seniors looking to turn things around for the program before they leave, Vodika said. But to do that, Lakota will need a bit more consistency when it comes to catching passes, he said.
"I think that our seniors are seeing this is the second half [of the season] and we've got to make a move somehow," he said. "The reality is, we need to catch the ball. We run the ball decently, but we can't be a run-only team.
"The passing game is a rhythm, and you've got to get that rhythm," he said. "We've just got to get in a rhythm and we don't have offensive rhythm and that's a huge issue for us.
"I just think this is another one of those opportunities to go against a quality opponent," Vodika said. "We've had good moments, we've just got to string together some more good moments."
Fostoria at Genoa
Records: Fostoria 0-5, 0-2 NBC; Genoa 5-0, 2-0 NBC.
Coaches: Jim Kelly, Fostoria; Tim Spiess, Genoa.
Last week: Fostoria lost 55-0 to Rossford; Genoa beat Eastwood 41-7.
Last year: Genoa won 58-7.
Outlook: It's the top of the conference hosting the bottom this week, and more than that challenges Fostoria.
The Redmen have only scored 28 points all year and face a team averaging a little more than twice that amount (58.6) per game. If that's not enough of a hurdle, FHS heads into the game minus a few injured players, chief among them junior Maurice Haskins (RB/LB), who has run for two of the team's four touchdowns and one of its two conversions. Classmate Alex Navarro (FB/LB) and senior two-way lineman Caleb Peace will also watch from the sideline.
That means a lot of youth will see the field, Kelly said.
"You take two juniors out of the equation, that only leaves us one junior who's gong to be able to play, and one of our seniors, Caleb Peace, is also out. For us it doesn't help us because it takes us back to seven, eight, sometimes nine freshmen on the field," Kelly said.
"Our young guys, they're football players. They're going out and preparing. They want to play. They don't want anything to keep them out," he said. "They're preparing as upperclassmen should. They're well aware they're not the same size or have the same experience as guys they're going to face, but they're still working to get better, and for that I'm very proud."
They'll face a tough task.
The unbeaten Comets are coming off a whipping of Eastwood, who they more than doubled in offensive yards (509-245). The lion's share of that came on the ground, where Genoa ran for 423 yards.
David Nutter (6-0, 227) had three scores and 302 yards on 41 carries, while Casey Gose (5-10, 174) ran 11 times for 76 yards and another touchdown. They followed the blocks by a dominating line, led by 6-foot-5, 308-pound senior Michael Deiter who has verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin.
"We certainly respect them. Right now they're the best team in the league," Kelly said. "The way they do things is the way we want to do them. And it's not just the X's and the O's, it's discipline and how to do things. Genoa's kids do their jobs and do what their coaches tell them to do.
"For us it's just about going up there and trying to play one play at a time and trying to get better," he said.

Kendra Wilkinson learned more than the tango during her time on Dancing with the Stars.
After her surprise elimination Tuesday night, the reality star says she's seeing things from a whole new perspective.
"I had the most amazing time, but after seven weeks of being on Dancing with the Stars, it actually made me think about real life," Wilkinson, 25, tells Parade. "I know what true love is now – and that's, of course, my son and my husband."
Continues Wilkinson: "Every now and then it's cool to get dressed up and glamorous, but at the end of the day, I love what's real and what's real is family ... I'm so happy that I get to be a mom again!"
Wilkinson, who has one son – 1½-year-old Hank Jr. – with her pro-football-playing husband Hank Baskett, has some simple tips for other mothers who might be struggling.
"My number one piece of advice to all moms is to just breathe," she says. "Take time for yourself, even if it's just going to the bathroom and taking a couple breathers. Take at least five minutes out of the day for yourself – you need it, you deserve it."
Wilkinson also pays tribute to one of the major benefits of being on DWTS.
"My body is so great now," she says. "The different dances did different things, like the Latin dances would shape my thighs and my calves and my butt because of all the twisting. And it would make you sweat, that's the real calorie burner right there."
"But the Viennese waltz and the tango, it's all in the legs," she says. "You're doing a full squat for two minutes. It's more intense than anybody would think. My body's back into shape and I'm so happy."

Judge denies request by man sentenced for beating, robbing WW II vet neighbor
February 7, 2013
LISBON — Columbiana County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Washam this week denied a request by Joseph Eltringham to be resentenced following a change in Ohio's sentencing laws....
Ah, some common sense in the courts, how refreshing. I'm so sick of all these people using their military service as an excuse for their own shortcomings. I don't recall ever hearing of anyone of the WWII age group ever wimping out. We sure have a couple generations of guys who simply will never grow up and stop blaming everyone else. Way to go, Judge!

NEW YORK � Ann Curry offered a tearful goodbye as co-host of NBC�s �Today� show on Thursday, saying �this is not as I expected to ever leave this couch.�
Her exit represents NBC�s most visible response to the popular morning show�s worst stretch in the ratings in nearly two decades. �Today� hadn�t lost a single week since 1996, but this spring it was beaten four times by ABC�s resurgent �Good Morning America.�
Curry�s exit marked a stark contrast to the lengthy tribute shows given to predecessors Meredith Vieira and Katie Couric. She announced it during the final five minutes of her shift on Thursday, ending a week of awkward television as she continued working after word spread that NBC was looking to oust her.
�For all of you who saw me as a groundbreaker, I�m sorry I couldn�t carry the ball over the finish line but, man, I did try,� she said, breaking down.
Curry joined the show as a news anchor in 1997. Passed over for the co-host job when Vieira replaced Couric, she was given the chance when Vieira left last June. But her pairing with co-host Matt Lauer never seemed to click and she took the fall for the show�s ratings troubles.
NBC�s Savannah Guthrie, who co-hosts the 9 a.m. segment of the show, is expected to replace Curry.
Curry will remain at NBC News, saying she�s been given a �fancy new title� to lead a reporting team. NBC said she will be anchor-at-large and national and international correspondent. Her work will occasionally resurface on �Today,� and Lauer said she will be in London with the show for the Olympics.
He sat next to Curry, Al Roker and Natalie Morales on the couch as Curry choked back tears and apologized for being a �sob sister.�
�It�s not goodbye, not by a long shot,� a grim-faced Lauer said.
Each of her colleagues recalled some of Curry�s reporting from her �Today� tenure, but there was no video tribute. The �Today� website displayed �15 top Ann moments spanning her 15 years on TV,� asking viewers to vote on their favorite.
�To all of you watching, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me touch yours,� she said.

My wife and I spent Monday morning paddling the San Marco's River. If you have ever been there, you will know how clear and cool the water is. The river originates on the Campus of Texas State University and flows South East for about 75 miles into the Guadelupe River. We only paddled a mile or so back and forth through San Marcos. The water was calm and super clear. We saw ducks, egrets, and turtles (under the water).
We are new to Kayaking. I just bought my wife a Old Town Vapor and I have a Field and Stream Eagle Run. I like both, very stable and can handle a few waves.

Boots No7
When you're comparing skin care products and cosmetics, it's easy to feel as if you have only two types of formulas available: those that are clinically researched and proven to be effective and those that are affordable. If you want to spend less on your skin care regimen and cosmetics, it may seem that you have to sacrifice the results that you'll receive from the products that you purchase, but that's not the case. The Boots No7 skin care collection makes beauty affordable without compromising effectiveness or safety, so that you can save money and still see improvements in the health of your skin.
In 1849, John Boots, an accomplished herbalist, opened a store in Nottingham, England. When his son took control of the store in 1877, he expanded the product inventory, turning his father's business into Boots & Co. drugstore. Over the next century that followed, Boots & Co. grew and now has more than 3,100 locations throughout the UK. In 1935, the company introduced its own line of skin care and cosmetics products, naming the brand Boots No7. Today, Boots No7 is the number one selling brand of beauty products in the UK, and these best-selling formulas are now available to purchase in the U.S. from drugstore.com.
Boots & Co. created the Boots No7 family of products to offer more choices for women. At the time of the brand's founding, there were much fewer skin care and cosmetics products available on the market, and most of the ones that were sold in the chain's drugstores were expensive and not proven to be beneficial. The Boots No7 brand was developed to be an affordable alternative to the other products, and today, the company continues to keep the costs of products low. The vast majority of Boots No7 products sell for under $25, so
you can easily afford to create a complete daily regimen with the brand's formulas. Although the Boots No7 brand offers products that are very affordable, research is still of the utmost importance to produce development at the British skin care company. The brand is known for having one of the largest testing programs in the world. All new products are put through huge trials with at least 200,000 participants who come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and who have many different types of complexions. The huge sample size for the clinical trials helps the scientists at Boots No7 see how their products work on a large scale, allowing for more successful refinements and improvements to make the formulas as effective and safe as possible.
At drugstore.com, you'll find a wide selection of Boots No7 products. We carry Boots No7 cosmetics that you can use to perfect your complexion and accentuate your features, and we offer many cleansers, toners, moisturizers, facial treatments and body products from the collection. You can shop all of the products in one particular department by clicking on the links at the left-hand side of this page. Discover how affordable effective skin care and cosmetics products can be by shopping the Boots No7 line now.

BEDFORD - A county treasurer's annual salary. A brand-new Dodge Charger police car, with all the bells and whistles. A year's worth of supplies for the elections office.
Bedford County taxpayers could have had any of these items for the cost, as of last month, of the ongoing legal battle between the commissioners and President Judge Thomas Ling.
And while the county finance office tallied $47,873 in legal fees from November to March, a fresh round of conflict this month led the state judge hearing the case to hand the job off to a colleague.
"He's pretty much washed his hands of it," Commissioner Steve Howsare said of Dan Pellegrini, chief judge of the state's Commonwealth Court. "We're basically just starting over with another judge."
Ling, the respondent in the civil case, agreed with Howsare - a rarity in the bitter five-month fight over court funds and employees' salaries and bonuses.
"We're right back at square one," he said.
A new judge hasn't yet been named, a Commonwealth Court employee said Thursday, but Pellegrini's court order transferring the case indicated there's little hope of a deal in sight.
"Whereas, it appears that the mediation session will not lead to an amicable resolution ... this matter is returned to the clerk for assignment and disposition," the April 11 order reads.
It seemed a breakthrough could have been possible before an April 2 meeting at Pellegrini's downtown Pittsburgh office, when the state judge tried to hash out a series of negotiated proposals involving the roughly $200,000 Ling has refused to turn over to the county.
The money, which makes up the county's DUI education fund and its court-issued supervisory fund, goes in part toward bonus pay for probation officers, who serve under the courts. The commissioners sued Ling in November, seeking a judgment that would place the funds under their control.
The April 2 meeting ended with a glimmer of hope for the commissioners, Howsare said, and Ling seemed ready to follow some of the judge's recommendations.
But both sides quickly devolved back into conflict and Pellegrini dropped the case shortly thereafter.
That leaves a new, as-yet-unscheduled round of hearings and meetings in the coming months, all at taxpayer expense. The commissioners' attorneys, from the Pittsburgh-based Cohen & Grigsby law office, work at a maximum $375 per hour, while Ling's state-appointed lawyer works for the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts.
A state court official said a tally of the state taxpayer expense is impossible, as state attorneys aren't paid on an hourly or per-case basis.
The commissioners' primary attorney, Clifford B. Levine, didn't return calls seeking comment this week.
Howsare said the commissioners are unlikely to agree to any deals resembling Pellegrini's, opening the door to a possible civil trial in the coming months.
Ling has carried on, vowing to consider some of the Commonwealth Court's recommended financial changes despite the commissioners' disagreement and Pellegrini's exit.
Howsare said the commissioners receive legal bills periodically, with the most recent around $3,000. Finance Director Barry Crawford's March tally - $47,873 - is a significant jump from the $28,000 commissioners listed in February.
At the time, Commissioners Chairman Kirt Morris said the $28,000 bill was reduced from $38,000 after Cohen & Grigsby considered the county's financial troubles.
Greg Lau, president of the Bedford County Tea Party Patriots, said many in his group - which has advised the commissioners on financial matters - recognize the need to secure county money from Ling's hands, even if it comes at a cost.
"I think, generally speaking, people think if the judge has money that should be turned over, then he should turn it over," Lau said.
With a hefty sum already spent and no deal in sight, Howsare said the commissioners will see their case through to a decision.
"We think we have to take it to the end at this point," he said. "We don't see any other option."
