LINCOLN, Neb. - The most thoughtful insight on a football team often comes from its offensive linemen.
The warriors in the trenches are trained to win their battles, knowing they won't win them all, and return to the huddle on an even keel for the next play.
So perhaps it was not surprising that after an otherwise fantastic college football game was marred by a controversial call that appeared to deny Penn State a touchdown and a fourth-quarter lead, the Nittany Lions' offensive linemen weren't ready to call for a Big Ten investigation.
Article Video
Even if their quarterback was.
Matt McGloin took Saturday's 32-23 loss to Nebraska harder than any of his teammates, suggesting that the world, including the officials, is against Penn State, presumably because of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
"We'll never get that call here," McGloin said after replays showed tight end Matt Lehman appeared to score before fumbling into the end zone with 7:39 remaining and the Lions down 27-23. "We'll never get that call anywhere."
Of the dozen PSU representatives brought to the visitors' media quarters at Memorial Stadium, including Bill O'Brien, only McGloin came off like Yosemite Sam.
"Matt can only speak for himself," guard John Urschel, an Academic All-American candidate, said. "My opinion is whatever they call is what we have, and we have to move forward with it. The refs don't have the easiest job in the world, to try to look at it right on the spot and decide.
"I was looking at it, and I didn't know, to be honest."
Center Matt Stankiewitch added, "I don't think the refs were biased at all - whether we're playing the game at Nebraska or at Penn State. I feel the refs did the best they could to call the most even game they could. Matt's just emotional right now."
That emotion has generally positively fueled McGloin against the odds of being a non-scholarship player early in his career, beating out more decorated prospects and being the program's best quarterback for the past three years.
But just as the denial of Lehman's touchdown didn't beat the Lions, neither did McGloin's interception deep in Penn State territory that Nebraska turned into a 20-20 tie after trailing 20-6 at halftime.
That turnover, along with Lehman's cough-up and Zack Zwinak's fumble at the Cornhusker 10 with a 7-3 lead in the first quarter, quickly translates into too many mistakes to beat a quality team like Nebraska on the road.
"KiIls you," O'Brien said. "You can't turn the ball over inside the [opponent's 10.]"
Even if Lehman had been awarded a touchdown, Nebraska still had plenty of time to rev up its high-powered offense, not to mention the benefit of whipping 35 mph winds at its backs. The Lions allowed 267 yards on the ground, 15 rushing first downs for the game and 26 points in the second half.
"We shouldn't be in that position in the first place," linebacker and team leader Michael Mauti said of the controversy. "We've got to hang onto the ball when we get in the red zone. We have to do a better job on defense stopping the run."
There are tough calls in every game, and typically the better team overcomes them. A fine line has separated Penn State in all four of its losses, and a common thread has been the Lions' inability to stall second-half or late momentum, whether created by Nebraska, Virginia or the Ohios, U and State.
"The game of football is always one or two plays that make the difference," linebacker Glenn Carson said. "Officials are a part of the game. Sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they don't. My dad and my wrestling coach when I was young always told me you can't leave the match or the game in the officials' hands. You have to set your destiny. You have to go out and win it."
Nebraska did, and that didn't diminish the Lions' tremendous effort - maybe their best of the season, regardless of the outcome.
After taking an extended pause on the subject of Saturday's key call, O'Brien - who has been less than thrilled with his first dose of Big Ten officiating - offered a measured interpretation.
"We don't feel anyone's out to get us," he said.
Then he turned his attention forward as he's done during this most eventful and intriguing season in which the Nittany Lions have consistently showed a very large heart and, even at 6-4, exceeded expectations.
They'll close with home games against Indiana and Wisconsin.
"I would just say to the fans of Penn State: Even though this is not an undefeated team, it's a special team," O'Brien said. "We need the fans of Penn State to stick with us. This football team stuck with Penn State."
As for consoling a freshman tight end named Matt Lehman, a solid contributor at a position that has been showcased at Penn State like never before, the core leadership will take care of it.
"I didn't get a chance to see him yet," Stankiewitch said. "When I do, I'll tell him to keep his head up."

On November 4, 2008 Mecklenburg County voters approved Park Bond projects. One of these projects called for the creation of a nature preserve in south Charlotte, at the intersection of Tom Short and Audrey Kell Roads.
The site is one of the largest upland mafic depressions (swamp forests) remaining in Mecklenburg County. The conceptual plan for the 44-acre preserve is moving forward; and the second community workshop was held in October 2008. The plan includes a pedestrian access along Tom Short Road, parking, restroom/shelter, and a one mile loop trial with boardwalks and observation decks. Also included are a natural playground and an outdoor classroom space. Downloads

Ghetto Jousting, a euphemism for "drive by shooting". A man drives in his car, and approaches his rival. He rolls down the window, if he shoots his target, kills him, and drives away, he wins the joust. If the target were to survive, he must drive to his target, roll down his window, and shoot him, whoever kills his target first, wins the joust.
Marty did some Ghetto Jousting against Tyrone.

tox aims to automate state-of-the-art packaging, testing and deployment of Python software right from your console or CI server, invoking your tools of choice.
Tox as is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool you can use for:
First, install tox with pip install tox or easy_install tox. Then put basic information about your project and the test environments you want your project to run in into a tox.ini file residing right next to your setup.py file:
# content of: tox.ini , put in same dir as setup.py
envlist = py26,py27
commands=py.test # or 'nosetests' or ...
To sdist-package, install and test your project against Python2.6 and Python2.7, just type:
and watch things happening (you must have python2.6 and python2.7 installed in your environment otherwise you will see errors). When you run tox a second time you'll note that it runs much faster because it keeps track of virtualenv details and will not recreate or re-install dependencies. You also might want to checkout tox configuration and usage examples to get some more ideas.
automation of tedious Python related test activities
test your Python package against many interpreter and dependency configs
- automatic customizable (re)creation of virtualenv test environments
- installs your setup.py based project into each virtual environment
- test-tool agnostic: runs py.test, nose or unittests in a uniform manner
uses pip (for Python2 environments) and distribute (for all environments) by default
cross-Python compatible: Python2.4 up to Python2.7, Jython and experimental Python3 support as well as for pypy
cross-platform: Windows and Unix style environments
integrates with continous integration servers like Jenkins (formerly known as Hudson) and helps you to avoid boilerplatish and platform-specific build-step hacks.
unified automatic artifact management between tox runs both in a local developer shell as well as in a CI/Jenkins context.

Billboard magazine,
one of the oldest and deepest entrenched music magazines, is citing
multiple sources as having revealed secret details
of Google's
upcoming music service.The new Google Music comes at a
price -- $25 a year to be precise -- but it makes Apple's iTunes (in
its current implementation) look like a dinosaur. First the
basics; the service will offer direct digital downloads much like
Apple.An album download will reportedly generally cost $7.
Most tracks will cost 70 cents, "superstar tracks" will
cost 91 cents, and "catalog tracks" will cost 49
cents.Your $25 subscription fee comes with a free online
music "locker" -- a secure storage site in the cloud – in
which you will be able to place your purchases. From there they
can stream your music to any compatible internet connected computer
or device. The size of the locker was not revealed
to the sources.If that feature is not enough to make Apple
blush, this will as well -- Google will be offering a
one-time full preview,
reportedly of every track in its library, similar to what Lala.com
before Apple acquired it, killing
the full-length previews. Full previews certainly outdo
iTunes 20 second previews of 4 minute tracks.The app for the
service would reportedly be entirely web-based, so you don't have to
worry about installing pesky applications on your machines.
Additionally Google is reportedly planning on including a mild social
network/song sharing service, similar to Apple's
new Ping network, with Google Music.And the biggest
upside of all for Google is that the company obviously has vastly
more ability to redirect internet traffic to its service than Apple.
While Apple can boast reaching hundreds of millions of users with its
iDevices, Google can literally boast reach over a billion users
worldwide.The biggest trouble spot for Google, according to
the report, is shaping up to be reticence from music labels.
Some industry officials called the proposal "a good start",
but others promised that it would see resistance particularly on the
issue of track costs and previews.According to the sources
Google's proposal calls for a "50-50" revenue split between
master rights holders and Google, with music publishers receiving a
10.5% share. It's unclear if that 10.5 percent is deducted
before the split, or if it will come out of one of the two parties'
shares.The sources say Google is seeking to lock labels into
a 3-year contract from the launch of the service in terms of pricing
and features agreements.Users would also be able to use their
web app to scan their hard drives and upload files to their music
locker -- including music from other services (iTunes, Rhapsody,
etc.), songs ripped from CDs (which the RIAA
contends is "stealing"), and even songs obtained from
P2P networks. The latter is a thorny issue in the negotiations
for labels, but they reportedly realize that it may be inevitable and
are pushing Google to, in return, tighten restrictions on its search
results to filter
out P2P software and torrent sites.It remains to be seen
how music labels ultimately react to the proposal, but planned
service certainly sounds like a good deal for customers. And
with music labels already fed up with Apple, they may begrudgingly
embrace Google's terms as the lesser of two evils (in their eyes).
Armed with superior technology and brand reach, it might finally put
an end to the era of iTunes reigning supreme in the world of digital
music sales.
quote: 22. Google's established practice in determining Android compliance consists of two steps. The first step requires each Android-enabled device, and its embedded software, to be run against the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS), a software-based test platform that objectively evaluates whether the device and software are compatible with the published Android specifications. The second step involves a review of the device and software based on an amorphous outline of additional, non-standardized requirements known as the Compliance Definition Document (CDD). This entirely subjective review, conducted solely by Google employees with ultimate authority to interpret the scope and meaning of the CDD as they see fit, effectively gives Google the ability to arbitrarily deem any software, feature or function "non-compatible" with the CDD.23. On information and belief, Google has notified OEMs that they will need to use Google Location Service, either as a condition of the Android OS-OEM contract or as a condition of the Google Apps contract between Google and each OEM. Though Google claims the Android OS is open source, by requiring OEMs to use Google Location Service, an application that is inextricably bundled with the OS level framework, Google is effectively creating a closed system with respect to location positioning. Google's manipulation suggests that the true purpose of Android is, or has become, to ensure that "no industry player can restrict or control the innovations of any other", unless it is Google.
quote: All's fair in business, we suppose. But Google is now basically acting like heyday-era Microsoft here, throwing its weight around and screwing over small companies for its own gain. Google Android boss Andy Rubin went as far as to call Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha "multiple times" to impose a "stop ship" order on the company's phones, according to Skyhook's complaint.Also, most companies don't have mantras like "don't be evil." And now, neither can Google -- not with a straight face, at least.This move sounds especially evil because Android is supposed to be an "open" mobile platform for handset makers, with an open ecosystem -- one that theoretically lets handset makers and application developers control their own destinies. But it turns out "open" is only "open" in Google's world if it furthers Google's aims.
quote: In 2005, Google expressed an interest in Licensing Skyhook's XPS technology. In 2007, after the expiration of an evaluation license between the parties, Google asked Skyhook to provide Goggle with data from Skyhook's confidential and proprietary database of known Wi-Fi access points. Growing sceptical of Google's motives, Skyhook declined to provide this highly confidential information to Google. Ultimately, Google elected not to license Skyhook's technology for commercial use. Instead shortly thereafter Google began offering Google Location Services in competition with XPS positioning system.
quote: Now in a absolute sense, there is a small issue, in that Google could have been magnanimous here, but come on, at the end they are a for profit company and we have to give them atleast that much freedom to try and make some money or recognisation or ... for something they are providing for free along with others in the Android community.
quote: I know you're a smart man, and I know you'll agree with me that the internet in the United States, whether we like it or not, is moving towards the mobile market.
quote: 2)Look at AT&T; they used to have a monopolistic hold on the telephone market, and now look at them. They sold the same overpriced crap for 30 years, and it came back and bit them in the ass.

on December 6, 2012 - 8:52 PM
, updated December 7, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Investigators were trying to piece together how a routine traffic stop Thursday evening near Martin Luther King Park turned into a horrific tragedy that left a suspected drunk driver dead and a woman who just happened to be on the sidewalk fatally crushed under a utility pole nearly a half mile away.
The sequence of events began at about 6:45 p.m. when two Buffalo police officers with the housing unit pulled over Issak Parker, 48, near Best Street and Fillmore Avenue for what Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda described as a "minor" traffic violation.
The officers suspected Parker was intoxicated and one of them leaned into Parker's vehicle to try to turn off the ignition and put the vehicle's transmission into park.
But investigators said Parker hit the accelerator.
One of the officers then discharged his service weapon once, according to Buffalo Police Chief of Detectives Daniel J. Richards.
One officer was also dragged a short distance.
Parker's vehicle sped north on Fillmore Avenue and went out of control, crashing into a parked car and several light standards, including a traffic light.
One of the poles crashed down on a woman outside Pikes Peak Market at 1318 Fillmore, according to police and witnesses.
A friend of the victim identified the woman as Ida Murphy, 54, of Northampton Street.
Parker's SUV came to rest partially on a sidewalk with one of the poles on top, about four-tenths of a mile from where he had originally been stopped.
Both Murphy and Parker were pronounced dead at the scene.
Derenda said that the officers did not pursue Parker as he sped away from them.
Thomas H. Burton, attorney for the Police Benevolence Association, said the officers were "shaken" by what happened.
"It is an abject tragedy," he said.
The officers were put on administrative leave, which is routine practice police-involved shootings.
Derenda said investigators were awaiting autopsy results to determine whether Parker was struck by the officer's bullet as well as his blood alcohol level. Investigators were also trying to determine whether Murphy had been hit by Parker's car before the pole fell on her.
One of the officers was treated Thursday night for non-life-threatening injuries in Erie County Medical Center, Richards said.
It was the third case this year in which a Buffalo police shooting has ended with a fatality.
In the other cases:
• On Aug. 1, Charlene M. Fears, 38, who had a history of mental illness, was killed by an officer when she lunged at him with a pair of butcher knives in a home on Esser Street, where police had been called after Fears stabbed her 4-year-old grandson. The boy, Roderick "Manny" Geiger III, died after being taken to Women & Children's Hospital.
• On May 27, John A. Sordetto, 25, of Buffalo, a parole violator, died after being shot by an officer when he apparently went for the officer's gun holster during a scuffle on Tonawanda Street as police tried to handcuff him. An investigation showed that Sordetto was high on cocaine. An Erie County grand jury cleared officers of wrongdoing in the incident.
In three other cases, suspects who attacked or struggled with police were wounded when officers fired:
• On June 24, Wilson Morales, 17, of French Street, was wounded by police gunfire after leading officers on a high-speed car chase on the East Side. Two officers fired into his van after he tried to run them over. They also were cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury.
• On April 4, James J. Enyedy Sr., 69, of Black Rock, was shot and wounded after allegedly lunging at a police lieutenant and two officers with a knife in a hallway on Hamilton Street.
• On Feb. 16, Joseph L. Craig, 21, of Wyoming Avenue, was wounded by police after struggling with an officer over an assault rifle in the Genesee-Moselle neighborhood.

Why does chess fascinate us?
It could in part be due to the almost "secret society" that chess is surrounded by. To know and understand the way the pieces move on the board, and to appreciate not only the game itself, but some of the most beautifully crafted boards and pieces around the world, is evidence that chess is more than a game.
As with most things, you have the casual fans and the diehards who view chess as a way of life. They solve the daily puzzles in the newspaper; have several chess apps on their mobile phones; play with colleagues during lunch.
Chess is literally everywhere.
Expressions like "putting someone in check," and the company worker who feels like "a pawn," are two examples of how ingrained the language of chess has become. So subtle. So richly detailed. Yet few actually learn to play the game (some finding it intimidating or just plain boring). It is, I suppose, an acquired taste. Not to knock anyone's favorite board game (I'm thinking of you, checkers), chess is a superior game for the mind.
Celebrities as wide-ranging as iconic actor Humphrey Bogart and R&B legend Ray Charles were fans of the game. The movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer" gave audiences of the '90s a view into the chess world.
Unfortunately, like literary biopics, it's a tougher job to dramatize the internal. However exciting the writing of "Carrie" may have been to Stephen King or the composition of "The Old Man and the Sea" to Hemingway, the process of dramatizing an internal art form presents numerous problems for the filmmaker (and perhaps less of a problem for the novelist or biographer). While there will continue to be occasional dramas with chess as its, pardon the pun, centerpiece, don't expect an influx.
Not surprisingly, chess continues to evolve alongside our technologies. Listed as one of the top free downloads in Apple's App store is Chess.com, which allows you to play chess against the computer at varying difficulty levels as well as playing someone from another country.
When Pam Grier made her first appearance on "Smallville" as Amanda Waller, head of the Checkmate organization, I smiled to myself as she ran through a set of chess-inspired lingo. Sure, they went a little overboard with it, and some of it was eye-rolling-y bad. Still, I love popular references to chess.
I have a box full of trophies that my mother keeps in her basement as a reminder of chess' impact upon my world. Though I'm hardly as strong a player today (very little time to polish up), I do manage to get a game or two in, usually on my iPod.
The good news is there are thousands of kids in the U.S. who are learning the game and competing on a national level. In Detroit, chess is giving inner cities kids a broader view of the world, an alternative to the degradation seen every day: boarded-up schools, the desolation of vacant lots; stripped of its garment, the city dwells in a state of incorporeity, haunting the memory of its inhabitants.
In contrast, chess is a locale, a city, a state of mind, and in some cases, an escape.
Chess, for these kids, is a more attainable dream than becoming a pop star, a basketball star or a rapper – the pieces, whatever their composition, are very real. They can touch them. Test its weight within their palm. They can dream.
Chess teaches visualization. Furthermore, it demands a visionary's eye; a mathematician's skill at discerning probabilities; an artist's innate ability (and need) for invention. And they discover something about themselves in the process.
One Cornerstone Charter School-Washington-Parks Academy chess team member told me, that chess, very simply, prepares you for life. Every decision you make carries consequences, great and small, good or bad.
And that's the lesson.
Chess is more than a set of strategies, moves and pieces on a checkered board – chess can change lives. And minds.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Incline volleyball team split its last two Mount Rose League matches on the road, losing to Truckee in straight sets, 12-25, 12-25, 18-25, before rebounding to sweep past North Tahoe, 25-21, 25-18, 25-14.
Against Truckee - the three-time defending champs of the Division I-A - the Wolverines built big early leads in the first two sets en route to easy wins.
The Highlanders battled back in the third game, jumping out to an 8-4 lead before Truckee regrouped during a timeout and went on an 8-0 run to take over the lead for good.
"That last set was better, for sure," said Incline head coach Tacy Kelly. "We were communicating better. But Truckee is a solid team. They make plays."
Truckee head coach Erika Murphy said she used two setters in the match, which allowed regular starting setter Gabby Moretti the opportunity to swing away more, thus opening up the offense.
The coach named Moretti as her Player of the Match, as the senior finished with 16 assists, six kills, eight digs and three service aces. Chelsea Mohun also played setter, finishing with 10 assists and nine digs.
"The girls did well on the comeback in third game," Murphy said. "We dropped our play, but it was nice to see them rally."
Incline sophomore Claire Kent finished with seven kills and seven digs, while Kira Porter had four kills and 13 digs, Ronnie Flores had three kills and a match-high 21 digs, and Megan Golden had 15 assists and 13 digs. Kelly named Flores as her Player of the Match.
Truckee junior outside hitter Mackenzie Redner tallied a match-high 12 kills to go along with her 10 digs, while libero Kestlie Stefanelli had a team-high 15 digs.
Incline is now 12-8 overall and 4-3 in Mount Rose League play.
UP NEXT: Incline plays at South Tahoe on Friday at 6 p.m. and hosts North Tahoe in the final home match of the season on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m.

With the opulent beauty of the dress and hair design, the sweet smell of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice.

Thursday is Robin Roberts's new birthday. It is the day she is receiving her bone-marrow transplant.
The TV anchor, 51, also delivered a taped message from her New York hospital bed, which was shown on Thursday's Good Morning America during a segment about her medical journey to treat her rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome.
Wearing a bright pink baseball cap, Roberts, who's had eight days of intense chemotherapy during her 11 days in the hospital, said: "This journey is as much about the mind as it is the body. Your thoughts … are so powerful. You've got to change the way you think in order to change the way you feel. And let me just say this lastly, I feel the love and I thank you for it. Thank you."
To see her message, click here.
During her hospital stay, Roberts has been surrounded by friends and family, said her co-anchor, George Stephanopoulos. Her bone marrow donor was her sister, Sally. Many transplant recipients refer to the day of their transplant as their new birthday.
Roberts's doctor, Dr. Gail Roboz, also said on the air, "Medically speaking, she is doing fantastic," though the specialist noted, "I think she misses her mother." Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts died Aug. 30, the day after Roberts started her leave from GMA.
In addition, Dr. Roboz said that even reading a few emails and sitting up in bed is exhausting for Roberts. Despite this, GMA weatherman Sam Champion, who visited his colleague in the hospital, said, "She is in remarkable spirits."
Throughout the rest of Thursday's broadcast, her co-stars shouted out messages of love to Roberts. Viewers' messages may be sent to her at #teamrobin.

BETTSVILLE - The outcome of several races had been debated for the past few weeks after Calvert's Olivia Smith went down with a foot injury.
Saturday, the Senecas learned the answer.
Smith celebrated her return to the lineup by capturing fourth in 20:10.58 as Calvert held off Hopewell-Loudon 100-103 for third in one of the Division III district races at H.P. Eells Park.
"That was the big question mark today, and I guess she answered that question," Calvert coach Stewart Behm said. "It's always a 'what if' when you've got somebody who hasn't run for six weeks, who's been doing nothing but riding a bicycle and swimming in the water [for injury rehabilitation], you wonder how good of shape they're actually in.
"For her to come back in her first race in six weeks and run a 20 today shows that she put the hard work that she needed to," he said.
She wasn't the only Seneca to do that.
Morgan Smith (no relation) added a 13th (20:35.05) for Calvert, Sydney Berlekamp ran 20th (21:03.61), Marissa Horn took 32nd (21:50.03) and Corinne Harris finished 37th (22:10.28).
Kate Brickner (41st, 22:23.05) and Emma Brodman (53rd, 23:15.96) completed Calvert's regional-bound squad.
Behm said they all ran well, and while Olivia Smith's return definitely helped in the physical scoring, he said her presence may have done even more for the team's mental approach.
"I'm pretty sure even if she hadn't run today, we'd have still done pretty well," he said.
"We might have made it out without her today, but it would have been a big 'what if?' To have her back, you could tell the team was a little bit more at ease today," Behm said. "You could tell they were a little bit more relaxed, and I think a couple of those underclassmen who had felt the pressure of being the go-to people, ... I think that took a lot of the pressure off of them to feel that 'I have to do that much better because Olivia's not here.'"
Meanwhile, H-L advanced on the strength of Shelby Raudebaugh's 12th (20:34.46) and Erin Reinhart-Anez's 16th (20:40.39), who each finished well enough to earn regional berths had the Chieftains not made it as a team.
The top four teams and top 16 runners qualified for Saturday's regional at Tiffin's Hedges-Boyer Park.
As with the league meet a week earlier, which the Chieftains won, H-L coach Paul Jones said he expected a battle for the regional berths.
"Just like last week, I anticipated there being four or five teams up there slugging it out, and that's kind of what it boiled down to," he said. "I expected it to be close.
"Looking at the times, I think they all ran pretty well. It was just a very fast, competitive race. The idea is to move on, we did that," Jones said. "True, we'd have liked to finish up a few more spots but it didn't work out that way today."
Kailey Coleman added an 18th (20:53.63) for H-L, Leah Reinhart ran 24th (21:09.38) and Morgan Brant took 39th (22:19.5).
Chieftains Kate Brickner (40th, 22:22.77) and Haley Schreiner (46th, 22:46.26) also competed.
Four other area runners advanced to the regional.
Mohawk senior Julia Daniel topped local efforts by taking second in 19:56.81, guiding the Warriors to eighth (208) in the team standings.
"My mindset was I wanted to run my best race possible this week so I could go into next week a little more confident and a little more ready to race," Daniel said. "I know next week's going to be tough.
"I just wanted to have a good race this week to set me up for next week," she said.
St. Wendelin's Jocelyn Reinhart captured seventh (20:15.56) and teammate Victoria Volpe claimed 15th (20:40) to help the Mohawks end fifth (138).
Seneca East got a ninth from Anna Willman (20:23.56), with the team finishing 11th (249).
Plymouth edged Sandusky St. Mary 90-92 for the team crown. New Riegel ended ninth (228).
Kayla Risner backed Daniel by taking 35th (21:56.14) for Mohawk, while Katharina Fell ended 52nd (23:15.33) for Seneca East.
Ashley Mathias ran 25th (21:21.88) for New Riegel and Abby Cassidy came in 30th (21:46.88).
No area teams advanced out of the other district race, though two individuals did so.
Lakota's Cariss Reese clocked in fourth (20:15.14) and Old Fort's Kayla Garza grabbed 14th (20:46.93).
Toledo Christian, led by Delainey Phelps torching the course for a win in 17:57.77, beat Elmwood 71-102 for the team crown. Ashland Crestview took third (115), and Gibsonburg held off Carey 133-144 for the fourth and final district berth.
"It doesn't take very much for 11 points. They did their best today," Carey coach Dean Kessler said. "We had some PR's today. That's all you can do, bring your best game on a certain day and hope it's good enough. It wasn't today for them, but they sure tried their hearts out."
Alivia Stephan's 18th (21:03.81) paced Carey. Jaclyn Troiano added a 21st (21:12.49), Sarah Walter ran 29th (21:31.68), Amber Spurlock ended 41st (22:06.17) and Kristina Nusbaum finished 44th (22:13.24).
Old Fort finished eighth (209) and Lakota took 11th (238).
Jackie Becker backed Garza with a 23rd (21:20.29) for Old Fort, and Lakota's Morgan Mowry wound up 54th (22:47.19).
Buckeye Central did not field a full team. Lizabeth Figueroa claimed 50th (22:41.55) for the Buckettes and Amy Rietschlin ended 69th (24:13.43).

Anna Paquin
- 1991
Piano Lessons
At 9, Paquin answers a newspaper ad for the part of Holly Hunter's daughter in director Jane Campion's sweeping drama, The Piano. The precocious child actress eventually beats out 5,000 kids for the role, which earns her an Oscar (for Best Supporting Actress) in 1994. "I was completely overwhelmed," she said of her win at age 11. "I just thought I was going to sit there and go clap, clap, clap, and the other person goes up and gets it."
- 2000s
Going Rogue
After making supporting turns in the teen comedy She's All That and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, Paquin lands the part of mutant hero Rogue in the blockbuster X-Men trilogy. "There's a lot of fun stuff that you get to do in those movies that you wouldn't get to do in any other straight, normal film," she says of the record-breaking comic-book adaptation.
- 2008
There Will Be Blood
As clairvoyant Sookie Stackhouse, Paquin finds herself at the center of a cult hit on HBO's True Blood. The supernatural vampire drama, which introduces Paquin to costar Stephen Moyer (whom she eventually begins dating), earns her a best dramatic TV actress Golden Globe in 2009.
- 2009
True Romance
Moyer, 39, proposes to Paquin, 27, and she accepts. "There's a song Bill listens to in the car about a white sandy beach," Moyer tells Glamour of how he popped the question. "So we decided to go away for a break – to a white sandy beach – and that's where it happened."
Cover Girl
With True Blood in its second season (and now a bona fide TV hit), Paquin headlines Nylon magazine's TV issue. "The thing about vampirism is that it taps into a female point of view – you have an old-fashioned gentleman with manners who is a f---ing killer," she says of the show's sexy appeal.
- 2010
The Secret's Out
No one saw this coming: Paquin reveals she's bisexual in a PSA video featuring celebrities speaking out for equality. "I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual and I give a damn," says the bride-to-be days before the third season premiere of True Blood. Later, she downplays her public revelation, saying, "It wasn't like it was a big secret."
It's True – They're Married!
After a year-long engagement, Paquin, 28, weds her True Blood beau Stephen Moyer, 40, in Malibu surrounded by family and friends, including costars Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammel and Rutina Wesley. "It was a beautiful evening to get married and the sunset was gorgeous. Anna and Stephen seemed very excited to celebrate their wedding day," a source tells PEOPLE of the couple's nuptials, which takes place at a beachside villa under a white tent.
- 2012
Baby on Board
Paquin, 29, and Moyer, 42, announce that they're expecting their first child together in the fall. The British actor has two children – Lilac, 10, and Billy, 12 – from a previous relationship.
Baby, Take Two
Paquin gives birth to twins a few weeks ahead of schedule. "The babies … are in good health and both Mom and Dad are overjoyed," a rep for the True Blood stars tells PEOPLE exclusively. In June 2013, Moyer reveals the twins's names, Charlie and Poppy.

Household Food Security in the United States, 2007
Stay Connected
Economic Research Report No. (ERR-66) 65 pp, November 2007
Eighty-nine percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2007, meaning that they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (11.1 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year. About one-third of food insecure households (4.1 percent of all U.S. households) had very low food security—meaning that the food intake of one or more adults was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food. Prevalence rates of food insecurity and very low food security were essentially unchanged from those in 2005 and 2006.

Would you drive from Charleston to Atlanta to save $300 per ticket on airfare?
Would you spend an extra $189 per person to make a good father-son vacation a great one?
I did both of those things, and I think my experience offers some ideas about getting the most for your vacation dollars.
This isn't really about saving money, but about spending it well. A person's got to have some fun, and one thing I save money for is travel with family.
So let me tell you about my ski trip to Colorado with my son.
Snow-skiing is not inexpensive, particularly if you live in the Lowcountry. But if you're going to plunk down the cash to ski for several days in North Carolina, or West Virginia, here's how you could instead ski 11,000-foot mountains in Colorado with dozens of trails, short lift lines and real snow, for about $200 more per person.
Living in the Charleston area, the closest skiing is in North Carolina, more than five hours away. The larger Snowshoe ski area in West Virginia is a more than eight-hour drive.
I took my son to North Carolina when he was little and he learned to ski. Then, two years ago I had some free plane tickets and a kids-ski-free deal, so we went to Colorado for the first time. We were hooked.
It was an easy decision when the plane tickets were free, using frequent flier miles I received for signing up for credit card offers, but I've finally used them up. Faced with having to pay to fly, I wasn't sure Colorado would be possible this year.
One factor in my favor, a surprising one, is that most North Carolina ski areas charge more on weekends than some terrific ski areas near Denver.
Here's how it breaks down financially. Let's say you wanted to go skiing over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, as I did, what with Charleston schools being out from Thursday through Monday.
Ignoring the fact that ski conditions were looking awful in North Carolina, let's say I wanted to drive up with my 14-year-old and ski for three days. Lift tickets and equipment rentals — skis for me, a snowboard for him — would run between $449 and $477 at the Beech, Sugar or Cataloochee ski areas, plus about $200 for three nights in a modest hotel.
But an hour west of Denver, the two of us could ski for three days at the Loveland ski area for less than $350, while paying similar hotel rates. Loveland and some other Denver-area ski areas charge youth prices through age 14, which means big savings, because most North Carolina ski areas charge adult rates starting at ages 12 or 13.
Loveland is not a resort, but it is an 1,800-acre ski area on the Continental Divide with 93 trails, the longest of which is two miles long. Ski Cooper, another family-friendly ski area about two hours west of Denver, is even less expensive and has the distinction of having a trail called Slade's Run.
But how to get to Denver? Plane tickets from Charleston were too expensive for me to consider, with prices starting at $505. Here's where the time vs. money issue came up.
Instead of driving more than five hours to ski in North Carolina, I decided to drive about the same distance to the Atlanta airport, where Southwest was offering round-trip direct flights to Denver for $189. You can only find those fares on Southwest's website.
So, two nondirect round-trips to Denver would have cost more than $1,000 from Charleston, but two direct flights were $377 from Atlanta. Between driving and flying, we would be in Denver in about the time it takes to drive to the Snowshoe ski area in West Virginia. I'll drive to Atlanta to save more than $600 any time.
The savings on lift tickets and rentals in Colorado cover the cost of our car rental there. That means the only added cost of skiing in Colorado versus North Carolina was the plane tickets, at $189 each.
It's not a cheap trip — it was a year's worth of Christmas and birthday presents for both of us — but it should be a lasting memory. By now I should be home, hopefully with no broken bones, and no regrets.
If you decide to hit the slopes this winter, the website Liftopia.com offers good deals at most ski areas, although they are harder to find at eastern ski areas during holiday weekends. Weekdays are when rates are lowest, but that's tough to take advantage of if you have school-age children.
When I checked on Jan. 14, Liftopia had plenty of offers in Colorado but wasn't listing any deals in North Carolina for the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend except at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, which was closed at the time due to heavy rain.

Created after the orginal thought of the drill, the jackhammer takes speed and power in order to work. Start by creating a fist. Then, get into a stance that will allow maximum power and speed. Arch your back forward and thrust your fist through your other hand, in some what of a punching motion. Try to build up speed. That is the secret of the Jackhammer. Kids, don't try this with grandma in the room.
"Your Drill's got nothing on my Jackhammer"
"Why don't we just stick the Jackhammer in with all the other tool techniques."
"I hope you're proud. Damn you drill and Jackhammer!"

The following story was written by Singy Hanyona for the Environmental News Service (ENS)
LUSAKA, Zambia, July 18, 2001 (ENS) - The African Wildlife Foundation has launched a new regional conservation project known as the "four corners natural resource management project."
The transboundary four corners project refers to the Caprivi Strip, the only place in the world where four African countries - Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe - meet. They share the Zambezi River, one of the longest rivers in Africa.
Tarangire National Park has long suffered from a severe staff housing shortage, a shortage so severe, in fact, that in some cases three families live in a single small house. Small detached buildings that were originally constructed as shower rooms and cooking areas have been pressed into service as additional bedrooms, leaving people to bathe and cook outdoors. Both parks have also suffered from a lack of fresh water supplies for park rangers and staff, especially to the remote security posts around the park.
The following story ran in the June 17, 2001, issue of the San Francisco Chronicle:
IN PEACE WITH PREDATORS: U.C. Biologists Say People Must Learn to Coexist with Africa's Carnivores if These Animals Are to Survive

Laikipia Plateau, Kenya -- University of California at Berkeley biologist Laurence Frank is crouched disconsolately in the middle of the African bush, getting pelted with raindrops the size of seedless grapes.
The American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) is an organization that conducts bipartisan international exchanges, providing emerging leaders, aged 25 to 40, the opportunity to experience firsthand the political and cultural dynamics of other countries. ACYPL facilitates more than twenty-five exchanges, enabling nearly 250 American and international political leaders to participate.
Robinson "Rob" McIlvaine, 87, retired career diplomat, editor and conservationist, died June 24, 2001, at his home in Washington, DC.
A specialist in African affairs, McIlvaine served as Consul General in the Congo and ambassador to Dahomey (now Benin), Guinea, and Kenya. He had previously served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Lisbon, Director of the Inter-Departmental Seminar, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, and Chairman of the U.S. Section of the Caribbean Commission.

It didn't take long for Penn State football to start feeling the aftermath of the recent sanctions handed out by NCAA president Mark Emmert.
The loss of Silas Redd and a few other big-name players looms large in just the first week of the Nittany Lions' inaugural season under Bill O'Brien.
The secondary was weak, and the running game took a hit when starter Bill Belton suffered an injury in the 24-14 loss to Ohio. He remains questionable for this week's clash at Virginia.
Without Belton, the Lions could look to former walk-on Derek Day. And the other two runners on the depth chart - Curtis Dukes and Akeel Lynch - didn't see any playing time Saturday.
Penn State's 65 allotted scholarships may not seem like a problem to the average college football fan. But it hurt. And Ohio exploited that in the secondary.
Malcolm Willis got burnt more than a few times, and Penn State failed to get to the quarterback. Tyler Tettleton had all the time in the world to throw the ball.
But there's no shame in losing to a team that I think may fly through the season 12-0. I've taken a lot of scrutiny for that belief over the past several days, but go look at the remaining schedule.
Penn State has a chance to come off of Saturday's loss with a win that could go a long way for the Lions. PSU has a pair of winnable non-conference tuneups - home with Navy on Sept. 15 and Temple on Sept. 22 - prior to kicking off its Big Ten slate at Illinois.
They still have a chance to right the ship heading into its first road battle under O'Brien when Penn State travels to Virginia. The Cavaliers are coming off a 43-19 win over Richmond where they pounded the Spiders for 545 total yards - 311 coming from the arm of quarterback Michael Rocco.
The Virginia quarterback is no stranger to Penn State. His father, Frank Rocco Jr., was a quarterback on the 1982 national championship squad. Rocco Jr.'s grandfather was an assistant for many years at Penn?State as well.
It all comes down to Penn State's secondary and front seven once again. The Nittany Lions showed a limited number of blitzes against the Bobcats. Penn State only recorded a single sack.
And with a depleted secondary that didn't play all that well against Tettleton and Ohio, we can expect much of the same from Rocco this week.
I'm hard-pressed to give Penn State a chance in any game on the road this season. Possibly the only real shot it has is in Iowa City on Oct. 20.
The Nittany Lions will see a very hostile crowd Saturday in its first road game. Sure, there will be some classy fans on hand, but remember it's still thousands of college kids on campus.
Matt McGloin certainly has taken his very own scrutiny over the past three years at Penn State. Saturday's game may have been the best in his career. But for the Nittany Lions to have any kind of success, the run to pass ratio must creep back near 50-50.
In the first half, McGloin was 21-of-26 for more than 170 yards. It was efficient, but Penn State's drives were stalling. The former walk-on finished his day completing 27 passes for 260 yards and a pair of scores.
But the most revealing statistic here is the number of times he threw. McGloin dropped back and threw 48 times. That was the most of his career. His second-most was against Nebraska last season with 34. The Nittany Lions only ran the ball 22 times.
In the 2011 season, the Nittany Lions ran the ball a total of 515 times as opposed to 376 pass attempts. Thats nearly a three to two ratio of rushing attempts to passes. We all know that came down to Joe Paterno's old-school feel for the run. But like everything else, times have changed at Penn State.
One important thing that has changed is the confidence in McGloin.
At Tuesday's press conference with O'Brien, the coach was asked if Paul Jones would see any time at the quarterback spot.
"Paul has made a lot of improvement but, right now, we're going to stick with one guy," O'Brien said.
With the arrival of O'Brien, Penn State is certainly expected to follow the Patriots' suit with a good tight end package. That was evident Saturday.
Greenwood graduate Matt Lehman, who play his football at Newport, had the biggest catch of the day out of all the tight ends - a 14-yard scoring pass from Matt McGloin late in the second quarter.
Fellow tight end Kyle Carter caught six passes for 74 yards.
It was nice to see Penn State's new motto "One Team" prio to kickoff against Ohio. Approximately 600 student-athletes were on the field when the Nittany Lions blasted through the tunnel. Each Penn State athletic team was represented except for the womens soccer team, who was on the road.
The attendance was about average for an opening game at Beaver Stadium - 97,186. That number, as difficult as it may seem, will only continue to drop as the season progresses. The times of getting over 100,000 faithful to fill the stadium are over.

The Tahoe-Douglas Fire District will be receiving a $2,701,896 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as part of the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Program, it was announced today. The grant funds will be used to increase the number of firefighters, as well as to develop better emergency readiness capabilities, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid said today.
"The SAFER program is essential to help ensure the safety of Nevada's communities," Reid said. "I remain committed to making sure that firefighters in the Tahoe-Douglas Fire District and across Nevada are fully equipped to respond quickly and efficiently to wildfires or any emergency need."
The program is managed and administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Grant funds are used for the salaried and benefits of firefighters hired over a two-year award performance period.
