PITTSBURGH - It has taken just 19 games for J.T. Miller's journey in the National Hockey League to bring him back home.
Miller, a 2011 first round draft pick of the New York Rangers and former East Palestine resident played in his first game at CONSOL Energy Center in a 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon in front of family and friends.
"I'm not sure about from East Palestine but I had a couple people from Pittsburgh here today," Miller said. "There were a couple family members from Ohio here too."
The freshly turned 20-year-old celebrated his birthday just two days earlier (March 14) in Winnipeg in a less-than-thrilling fashion. The Rangers suffered a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Jets. Saturday, the result wasn't much better.
"It would have been nice to have a win but it's nice to be in town close to my birthday," Miller said. "I'll get to see my family here in a couple minutes so that's always nice."
After being drafted, Miller went on to play with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League and then quickly progressed to the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League. He was called up during the Rangers playoff run last year but never saw ice time.
Shortly after his promotion to the Rangers, he made quick work of getting to the score sheet. Miller needed just two games to record his first goal and became the first Ranger (rookie or otherwise) to register a multi-goal game in his Madison Square Garden debut since Chris Kontos on Jan. 3, 1983.
Miller is also the youngest Ranger (19 years, 330 days) to tally a multi-goal game since Alex Kovalev (19 years, 307 days) recorded a hat trick on Dec. 27, 1992.
Since his fast start, Miller has struggled to find consistency offensively and hasn't recorded a point in seven games. He hasn't found the back of the net since he potted two against the Islanders in his debut at Madison Square Garden.
"It's tough right now when we're not scoring a whole lot of goals," Miller said. "We just need to start bearing down I guess and start fresh tomorrow."
Miller recorded nine points throughout the tournament to help the United States capture the gold medal at the world junior hockey championships in January in Russia.
Once thought to be a likely candidate to be sent back to the Connecticut Whale once Rick Nash returned from injury in February, Miller was afforded more time with the big league club when the Rangers sent down Chris Kreider on Feb. 28.
Miller's versatility as a center and wing posed more value to the club due to the lack of depth up front.
That versatility was on display Saturday afternoon as the center-by-trade skated on the right wing of a line that included Taylor Pyatt and Brian Boyle.
"It doesn't bother me much (switching from center to wing)," Miller said. "Ultimately, if it helps the team win then it is a good thing."
Miller was on the ice when fellow rookie Beau Bennett tallied the game's opening goal. Just over six minutes later, Miller took the game's first penalty after cross-checking Sidney Crosby.
"That's how it goes, I shoved him and he fell," Miller said of his hit on Crosby.
No harm was done as the Rangers were able to kill of the penalty. Miller finished his debut at home logging 12:20 second of ice time. He also dished out five hits, but failed to register a shot.
The snake-bitten Miller chalked it up to the ebbs and flows that he expected to encounter in the National Hockey League.
"I'm pretty hard on myself - always have been - it's just a tough game. They're a tough team, they're hard to play against, it's just a tough time right now."

Spring is in full swing and so are the state legislatures. There are now 13 oral anticancer treatment access bills under consideration across the country. In Florida, Maine, Oklahoma and Utah, bills have had committee hearings this year; while in states with year-round legislatures, the process is still at the starting block.
The Cancer Treatment Fairness Act (SB422 and HB301) passed two committees in the senate and one in the house. We have four more committees to pass through before the bills reach the house and senate floors. Thank you to those who have emailed your legislators asking for their support. If you haven't yet, there's still time! Click here to email them now.
For the first time in Maine, an oral anticancer treatment access bill has been introduced. On March 13th, legislators from the joint insurance and financial services committee heard testimony on the importance of making oral anticancer treatments more affordable for patients. Support group leader Wendy Wallis submitted testimony asking for the committee's endorsement of LD 627 on behalf of her group and all myeloma patients in the state. The committee will vote on the bill on March 19th. Mainers, ask your legislators for support today!
On March 7th, the state senate voted 37-5 in favor of SB675, passing the bill to the House where it has been referred to the Public Health committee for a public hearing. Email your Representative Today!
We are disappointed by the legislation recently passed by the Utah legislature that allows insurance to charge a maximum co-pay of $300 for oral prescriptions. This does not achieve the intended parity of oral and IV anticancer treatments. The bill is now on the Governor's desk and we are working to halt this damaging piece of legislation. Click here to read our memo of opposition.
We are closely monitoring bills in California, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Rhode Island, and will keep you posted on their progress.
Stay tuned for next month's edition of As the Bill Turns…

Not too long ago, when SmartyPig first debuted, I complained about how high SmartyPig's fees [3] were. I wasn't the only one and shortly thereafter, they dropped many of those fees and restructured their program a bit. I think it's a testament to their openness to feedback and willingness to adapt to their customer's needs.
So what exactly is SmartyPig [3]? It's a website that helps you save towards your goals, giving you a high yield interest rate (currently 2.01% APY) and the ability to have family and friends help you save towards your goal. When you've achieved it, you can access it by having it transferred back to your bank, converted to a debit card, or converted to a retail gift card.
How SmartyPig Works
One of the big benefits of ING Direct [4] was how easy it is to open new accounts for various savings goals. SmartyPig is setup with that same goal in mind, making it easy for you to setup savings goals. The difference is they add a social element, other people such as your friends and family members can contribute to your goals as well (if they fund a contribution with a credit card there is a 2.9% fee, I suspect this is to cover the credit card processing costs).
You can set a savings goal for anywhere from $250 to $250,000 and your minimum deposit has to be greater than $25 to start your goal. Then, each month, you must contribute at least $10 and your savings earn interest (currently 2.01%). Then, once you reach your savings goal, the monthly contributions stop and you can decide what you want to do from there. You can continue to contribute, convert it to a gift card from one of their partners, or have it transfered back into your bank account (for free, this was one of the fees they dropped!).
Gift Card Conversion
Besides the 2.01% interest rate and the ability to send money around, probably the biggest value-add of SmartyPig is in gift card conversions. You can convert your savings into a gift card or voucher to one of their partners with a percentage bonus.
For example, let's say you decided to save money for a couch. When you've reached your goal, you have several options. You can simply transfer the funds back into your bank account or you could convert it into a Macy's gift card. If you decide to convert it into a Macy's gift card, you get your goal amount plus 12%. Macy's is by far the most generous but there are other vendors such as Barnes & Noble (5%), Bed Bath & Beyond (4%), iTunes (2%), The Home Depot (3%), and more.
This can significantly boost your savings' interest rate.
FDIC Insured
Your money at SmartyPig is FDIC insured up to $250,000 as the funds are held at West Bank, which is itself a 115-year-old subsidiary of West Bancorporation (WTBA [5]). Anytime you are looking at a bank, and SmartyPig is essentially a bank account, you need to ensure that your money is protected in some way by FDIC or NCUA insurance.
The final question, after you understand how it works and that your principal is protected, is whether getting 2.01% APY and a potential secondary pop if you convert to a gift card is worth the hassle. I'm discounting the social aspect of SmartyPig, where friends and family can contribute towards your goal, but everything else makes me think that it's only worth it if you have a large goal in mind and can benefit from the gift card bonus.
I do like the idea of people savings towards their goals with a service like SmartyPig, rather than borrowing via store financing or a credit card. I think with the recession, a lot of people are reverting back to novel ideas like saving up for something. 🙂
If you have personal experience with SmartyPig [3], please share them with in the comments below. I'm especially interested in any headaches or issues you may have experienced, I've learned that they seem pretty receptive to that and hopefully we can get any headaches resolved. If you have a great experience, please share those as well!

In the four months since U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th, took the reins of the powerful House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, a lobbying and consulting firm owned by his father - a former representative and transportion committee chairman Bud Shuster - has received at least $22,500 for representing the freight rail industry, records show.
Bud Shuster's company, Strategic Advisory Group (also listed as Strategic Advisors), has worked for years on behalf of the Association of American Railroads, an industry coalition representing several major freight companies. But with Shuster's son now overseeing House transportation legislation, the business relationship could raise questions among those who follow congressional connections.
"I don't think they can avoid some sense ... that they've kind of cornered the transportation sector," said Ray Wrabley, a political science professor at the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.
Bud Shuster said on Friday that he no longer works as a lobbyist, instead describing his work as consulting. There's no need to actively avoid the image of a political connection with his son, he said, because there simply isn't one.
"I'm an adviser to a couple companies, but I haven't lobbied for years," the former representative said. "If I did, I wouldn't be able to lobby my son."
It's far from unusual for former politicians to leverage their influence as lobbyists and consultants, representing business or nonprofit interests in meetings with their former colleagues.
Even Congress members with lobbyist spouses aren't uncommon. A 2012 report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington noted 44 federal lawmakers with relatives in the field, including Shuster.
"There's probably some perception of insider access" in those cases, Wrabley said, although he noted that many with close relatives in the lobbying industry likely avoid direct on-the-job contact.
Direct lobbying by relatives is forbidden by the congressional ethics code, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Executive Director Melanie Sloan said Friday.
"Politicians should be careful when they have family members [who lobby]," Sloan said, noting that it can be difficult to avoid some contact when relatives work in the same field.
The Shuster family's influence in transportation
doesn't just extend to the House of Representatives: Bud Shuster's son and Bill Shuster's brother, Robert L. Shuster, works as an attorney and lobbyist at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, a major firm. Robert L. Shuster specializes in "transportation issues," according to his firm profile, and represents clients including the Allegheny County Port Authority and the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
"I do not lobby my brother," Robert L. Shuster said in a phone message Friday.
Bill Shuster, who is traveling the country to discuss transportation and seaport upgrades, was not available to comment, spokeswoman Gretchen Gailey said Friday.
There's no indication in government records that the elder Shuster lobbies his son directly, nor that the brothers share a political relationship.
In fact, federal disclosure forms back Bud Shuster's claim that he hasn't engaged in any lobbying since 2011. Nevertheless, the railroad group paid his company an estimated $90,000 last year and is on pace to pay another $90,000 this year, in funds described on filings as "income related to lobbying activities."
Claiming on forms that you've engaged in "no lobbying issue activity" is a common practice for those who don't want to divulge details on their work, according to a report from the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group. Lobbying is officially defined as direct contact with lawmakers on a client's behalf, the report noted; as long as direct contact is avoided, it doesn't need to be disclosed.
The Association of American Railroads is Strategic Advisory Group's only major client, federal documents indicate. At its height in 2004, Bud Shuster's firm took in more than $1 million representing several companies, but since 2011 it has appeared to serve only the freight rail industry.
In mid-2011, the last time Bud Shuster indicated active lobbying work took place, he listed "railroad regulations" as the issue at hand, according to the filings.

WHEATFIELD – There's no law against giving a tax break to a convicted felon, the attorney for the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency said Wednesday as the agency's board accepted an application for assistance for a project in a building owned by former Newfane dentist Scott D. Geise.
In 2010, Geise was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison and ordered to make $127,000 in restitution after pleading guilty to insurance fraud and tax evasion charges to settle a 57-count indictment.
The IDA will hold a public hearing March 5 in Lockport on Geise's request for a five-year, 100 percent tax exemption on the value to be added to Old City Hall, which he owns, when a new winery sets up shop there in May.
Flight of Five Winery, to be operated by Jacqueline R. Connelly, formerly of Niagara Landing Wine Cellars in Cambria, is leasing space in the building on Pine Street overlooking the Erie Canal locks. Last week, the Lockport Common Council voted to grant the winery $50,000 in unspent revenue from its bed tax on hotel and motel bills.
Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano and City Planning and Development Director R. Charles Bell emphasized then that the money was going to Connelly, not to Geise.
Geise is seeking a complete tax exemption on the added value of his building under terms of the IDA's Opportunity Zone program, which seeks to attract new businesses to depressed downtown areas in the county's three cities.
The IDA staff estimated that the deal, which would include a sales tax exemption on furnishings and materials used to renovate the building, would save Geise $79,000.
The application envisions future renovation to parts of the building not used by the winery.
"There is no prohibition in the statute regarding a person with a criminal record," IDA attorney Mark J. Gabriele told reporters after Wednesday's IDA meeting. He said the agency's policies are silent on the question.
"We've never touched on it," he said. "Like anything else, the board looked at everything in totality … Is it a situation where the board would look at the history of the person? Yes, and then make an informed decision."
IDA board member Stephen F. Brady, a National Grid executive, said he is not concerned about Geise's background. "None of that's relevant. He paid his penalty. He can do business in this county," Brady said.
Lockport Mayor Michael W. Tucker, who has been acting IDA chairman since last month's resignation of Henry M. Sloma, abstained from voting but made clear his support for the project, telling the board of the city's financial support for the winery. "I have been concerned with the deteriorating condition of the building," he said.
Geise told the IDA board that the winery would give visitors "an opportunity to do more than watch the locks open and close."
The IDA board set a March 5 hearing in Lockport on a 100 percent tax exemption sought by Hydraulic Race Co., operators of the Lockport Cave underground boat ride, for its new ticket office and visitor center on Gooding Street.
Co-owner Clarence "Clancy" Burkwit said the company, in business since 1996, has been based in Old City Hall but outgrew the space.

A 24-year-old Elkins man remained incarcerated on a $50,000 cash-only bond Thursday after he was arrested for allegedly operating a mobile methamphetamine lab in his vehicle.
Jeffrey Scott Wilson was charged Wednesday with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine lab, a felony, following a traffic stop during which police found a slew of alleged methamphetamine precursors stored in various locations in the Jeep he was driving.
According to the criminal complaint filed in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's Office, Patrolman B.D. Tice with the Elkins Police Department was patrolling the Beverly Five-lane at approximately 8:40 p.m. Wednesday when he saw Wilson - who was driving a white Jeep Cherokee with gold striping on the side - turn right out of the Walmart parking lot onto the Beverly Five-lane without using a turn signal. Tice also noticed that the driver's side tail light was out.

Tice subsequently initiated a traffic stop and upon asking for Wilson's registration and insurance, noticed two small propane tanks on the driver's side rear floor board; a plastic bag containing salt and coffee filters on the front passenger seat; and a bottle of "what appeared to be drain cleaner" next to the console on the driver's side, according to the complaint.
Tice asked Wilson if anything illegal was stored in his vehicle, and Wilson said no and gave the officer permission to search the Jeep.
Tice asked Wilson a second time "if he was positive there was nothing in his vehicle that (Tice) needed to be made aware of" to which Wilson reportedly replied, "No, there is nothing in there," according to the complaint.
Tice proceeded to search the vehicle, the complaint states, and allegedly found a bottle of drain cleaner, a box of Allegra-D 24-hour allergy and congestion medication, two propane fuel tanks, plastic tubing, empty Gatorade bottles, a red funnel, a white, unmarked bottle containing parts of a cold compress, coffee filters and salt.
"All the items listed are precursor components used to assemble a clandestine methamphetamine lab," Tice wrote in the complaint.
The officer transported Wilson to the Elkins Police Department for processing. After he removed Wilson from the car, however, Tice allegedly found two plastic containers - one containing meth and a second containing marijuana - in the back seat where Wilson had been sitting. A "white powdery substance" field-tested positive for meth, while "a green leafy substance" field-tested positive for marijuana, Tice noted in his report.
The report states that Wilson later told Tice that he'd been using the items in his car to operate a shake-and-bake meth lab; he also allegedly admitted that he had attempted to hide marijuana and meth in the back of the police cruiser.
Magistrate Rob Elbon set bond at $50,000 cash only; Wilson remained lodged in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of presstime.
The penalty for a conviction of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine lab is imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a term of two to 10 years, a fine between $5,000 and $25,000 or both.

Finally a great training bra that I can run in too! Being a 36DD, it's hard to find the right support, but this high support bra will keep you going for miles. I ordered size Large - it is the perfect fit, supportive, and cute! ... read more
Lifts and separates but doesn't control bounce. Could be better with a hook/eye clasp in the back to control compression. Does cut into front arm a bit as well. For reference I am 5' 7", 195 Ibs, and wear a 36DDD. I usually wear a L or XL in other brands. ... read more
The color and design of this bra was attractive so I decided to try it. Unfortunately, despite the flattering and comfortable fit of the chest band and cups, the straps were just terrible. I was looking to replace some worn out thin strap bras with a few of these bras, but my old bras proved to be more comfortable and durable. I purchased the blue color and the straps were less than supportive and pieces of blue fabric flaked off the straps when I tried to adjust them. The little oblong plastic loops the straps ran through kept turning and twisting the straps when tension was applied. Also, the material chafes quite a bit on my 6 mile run. All of these things added up to much dissatisfaction with this purchase. It had to go back. ... read more
When I bought this bra I was scared it was a little too big. However it fits amazing. Super comfy and has a lot more support then I thought! I'm small chested though so not much is needed though. Holds in place without being too tight and hard to take off:) It goes amazing with my adidas three stripe soccer pants too;) ... read more
I own a few older models of the Techfit bras, and they work very well for me. I run in them, workout at the gym, and wear them during yoga. I use the medium size and medium strength bra. The older ones are a bit looser than this one, but it fits well enough. I think it will loosen a little with regular wear. Also, the chest seam is a bit higher than the older ones. As a size reference, my normal bras are 32DD. ... read more
I purchased two of these bras in August 2015 and LOVE them, but since then they redesigned the bra. Now the band isn't tight enough, and the breast area doesn't provide enough give, so I feel completely smashed without enough support under the bust. ... read more
I never thought in a million years I'd purchase a sports bra for $40. I'm not top heavy so the ones I usually buy on clearance at Walmart or Target suits me just fine. I decided to pick one of these up after feeling it in the store and liking the feel. I wore the sports bra today for the first time. I did a hour cardio today and although I sweated, I noticed my body was cool therefore I wasn't dripping as I should have been. Although being active in the gym, wanting to see your hard work by way of sweat, it was great not to feel the sweat running down my body as usual. I also felt as if I had extra energy since my body remained so cool. Ladies, skip a mani/pedi or 2 to get this sports bra and thank me later ... read more
As a marathon runner, I train 6 days a week so my sports bras have to stand up to a lot of wear. I'm small-chested, so it is hard to find a product that does not chafe underneath my breasts and along the sides. I've worn this bra for about a week of training and am happy to report that is provides both support and comfort without restricting movement. And the best part of all is no chafing! I'll be buying more of this style. ... read more
I tried this on in a store and the medium fit me perfectly, but I needed white and they didn't have it in my size, so I ordered it on line. The fit is acceptable, but a little tight, it cuts into my shoulders a bit. ... read more
I usually wear a 34 B and got a medium, a perfect fit. I don't like padding in my sports bras and tend to go for compression, so this is great if you're like me. Even on the hottest florida days or longest runs, this keeps me cool. ... read more
I've only given this product 2 stars because the moisture wicking feature isn't really benefiting the bra and here's why: The interior of the cups are lined with a mesh, then a pad, and then the third and final layer is your moisture wicking material. I've read that this mesh is "breathable." If that's what you're after - great! My goal with the purchase was not to aerate but instead, to take the sweat away from my body. The "gap" between the two cups is also made of the mesh. Again, this did not take the sweat away from that area. The racerback portion of the bra (the back) is also made of mesh. The sweat hung around there as we'll. Lastly, the area that did have moisture wicking material with skin contact was the band at the bottom. For the front, I initially thought this would be a nice place to remove sweat from. But then I realized that the first layer (closest to my body) was the moisture wicking fabric, the second the elastic band, and the third another layer of moisture wicking fabric. The effect was that the first layer absorbed sweat, but the fabric was unable to evaporate the sweat because the elastic band was trapping the moisture in there. That being said, the bra was very comfortable and kept everything in it's place. No chafing. Although counterproductive to moisture wicking, I appreciated the pads while cooling off after my workout so that the gym wasn't privy to my headlights. If you want a comfortable bra, you've found it! If you want one to help keep moisture away from that area, I highly recommend going to a sports shop and looking at the construction of a bra before looking for it online. Lesson learned. ... read more
This bra is very comfortable to move in. It fits a tiny bit loose and, for me, that makes for a more comfortable workout (I am mostly running and doing yoga). The cut for the arms is a bit wider than some so i am not getting the tightness or chafing that sometimes happens there for me. It's a great bra and I'm glad I purchased it! ... read more
I bought a Large, I am 34C it gave me great support, I could jump in it and the support felt as strong as my maximum support. Only thing is I wear a 1X or 2X in tops so it was a little tight to pass my hands and get in it but once I did it was great. ... read more
This is a sports bra so it doesn't give too much definition. I bought 2 and they are a little hard to put on overhead but once on, no problems. They fit really well and snug on me. Didn't run in these but did yoga inversions and didn't have any problems or awareness of wearing it which is great. I bought a ton of fitness gear lately and Adidas offers good value. ... read more
The material is surprisingly soft and smooth. It's light weight and provides enough support (I'm a 34 A/B). I love the mesh in the back and have worn this for 2 marathons and never had any chafing issues. ... read more
I like that it isn't clingy when I am sweaty and try to pull it off and end up feeling like I am in a straightjacket! If you are really big up top, it may not be the one for you, as it is not super binding, but if you are smaller like me it is perfect, keeps things from hurting while exercising and generally is comfortable to boot. ... read more
I bought two of these and they fit perfectly. I like that they give me a little support but I don't get too hot when I run. Highly recommend them. They're the only runnin gtops I've found that fit me perfect. ... read more
Great material, comfortable and great support bra even for my runs and T25 high intensity cardio! I usually wear S size but after reading the reviews about being snug I went for a M and I am happy I did because it does run small. Only drawback is that my chest looks kind of flat, and it has no padding so no need to tell you what happens when I am a bit cold! ... read more
Except for the tags! There's 6 tags sewn into the bra! I had to use a seam ripper to get all the "paper" (more like card-stock) out. If this bra was tagless, it would be perfect. But it's still very great. ... read more

Area detectives and police chiefs welcomed the election of Frank A. Sedita III as Erie County's top prosecutor four years ago.
But as he begins a second term as district attorney, Sedita's former cheerleaders in law enforcement are turning into some of his main critics.
They say he cherry-picks cases he is certain will end in successful prosecutions, refuses to take cases unless the evidence is ironclad, and relishes high conviction rates more than the fight for justice.
"Sedita wants to plea everything out, and you can't plea everything out," said Dana J. Britton, director of public safety in Lackawanna. "It seems that it's all a numbers game. Everything is by the numbers, meaning conviction rates. You're going ahead and doing plea outs, and criminals are back on the street. That comes back to haunt you."
"Police constantly deal with the same people who should be put in jail. I hear this all over from police."
The Buffalo News interviewed 21 members of the law enforcement community from city, county, state and federal agencies, and all voiced the same complaints.
Sedita bristles at the criticism, saying it is his sworn duty to ensure that only the guilty are convicted and that innocent people are not put on trial. In fact, his office has exonerated dozens of people police charged with felonies, and his efforts to ensure innocent people are not convicted has won him praise from the New York City-based Innocence Project.
Still, he notes that the conviction rate for his office stands at 98 percent.
"Obtaining 3,868 convictions out of 3,978 felony cases filed over the last two years demonstrates that our prosecution decisions are consistently sound," Sedita said.
But police say the conviction rate is inflated because Sedita won't take the tough cases. Among those:
• The fatal shooting of Fred Rozier, 20, of Buffalo, which occurred in February during a robbery inside a car parked on the 100 block of Deerfield Avenue. Police say they have enough evidence to bring a murder charge. Sedita says a decision was reached between his office and an assistant U.S. attorney to let that case go to federal court for possible prosecution.
• The asphyxiation death of Bianca Cartagena, an 8-year-old Amherst resident, whose body was found two years ago in her mother's home. Police close to this case say there is evidence to prosecute the child's suspected killer. Sedita says the case may be presented to a grand jury because of efforts his office has undertaken.
• Jarrell Lillard, 15, of Rickert Avenue, Buffalo, who was slain in March 2003 on Masten Avenue. A witness can identify the drive-by shooter, police say. Sedita says the witness refuses to cooperate and that police failed to provide legally sufficient evidence for charges.
• Nicholas S. Sweeney, a North Tonawanda resident, was gunned down in an Eggertsville driveway in August 2010 and died several hours later. Enough information was obtained to make a case against the alleged killer, police say, but the DA said there is more than one suspect and the shooter may have been defending himself.
The district attorney's critics say he has imposed unrealistic standards on police, resulting in officers sometimes not making arrests or, in other cases, making arrests only to see the charges dismissed because the DA will not prosecute.
"They don't like the quality of our witnesses, but that is what we are dealt with," one veteran Buffalo homicide detective said. "We don't have too many people getting killed in front of churches where we could bring in nuns and priests as witnesses. ... That's not how it works."
The murder of Angela Moss
Sedita's reluctance has prompted some area law enforcement agencies to go to federal prosecutors. One such case might be the killing of Angela M. Moss of Amherst in summer 2009.
Moss was shot in the back of the head on the night of Aug. 28, 2009, and her body was left along California Road, near the Orchard Park nursing home where she worked.
A few days later, her boyfriend, Ronald Epps, filed a claim for her $100,000 life insurance.
Local police believed they had built a strong murder case against Epps, but Sedita refused to move forward against the suspect, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the details of the investigation.
Federal investigators and prosecutors got involved at the request of Orchard Park police, and they felt so strongly once they started working with town police that they charged Epps with fraud in federal court. In their court filing, federal prosecutors said Epps shot Moss in the back of the head and dumped her body.
U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr., in fact, talked to the district attorney's office about the potential for a state trial against Epps. Hochul indicated there was no federal murder charge that would apply in the case.
When Epps was arraigned in U.S. District Court in October on the fraud charge, a federal magistrate demanded to know if Sedita intended to prosecute Epps for murder.
"I'm not going to hold this court hostage," Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. said.
Epps has yet to be charged with murder, though police insist there is "enough probable cause" to arrest Epps on state murder charges.
"It's a strong, solid case," a law enforcement official said of the evidence to bring a murder charge.
Sedita declines to discuss the case.
'Not enough evidence'
Another case that upsets police: the cold case murder of Patricia Rodriguez.
Her body was found April 13, 1979, sprawled over a grave marker in Lackawanna's Holy Cross Cemetery. The 21-year-old woman was stabbed 108 times.
Lackawanna police say they are frustrated because they have evidence that points to one person, someone she knew very well, and that evidence includes information unearthed when the case was recently reopened. Yet Sedita still won't take the case.
The huge number of stab wounds told police that someone had a "personal reason" for killing her, Lackawanna Public Safety Director Britton said.
"To me, that's an indication of rage, a very personal reason for killing someone," Britton has told The News. "It's not like shooting somebody once and running away. This person spent a lot of time and effort in assaulting and killing this young woman."
Police also were told their chief suspect had beaten Rodriguez in the past.
Patricia Scinta told The News that she saw her daughter on numerous occasions with bruises from beatings from that suspect.
"One time, he was hitting her right here in our front hallway," Scinta said. "I grabbed him by the hair and made him stop."
And on her last night alive, according to police and her mother, Rodriguez went to a bar not far from the cemetery to meet the suspect.
That individual was questioned about a week after the murder, but he denied knowing anything about the killing.
"The case of Patty Rodriguez should have been presented to the grand jury and still should be," said Britton, who has 23 years experience as a detective. "Not every case is going to have DNA evidence or several eyewitnesses."
Sedita says no. The original investigation resulted in the "loss or compromising of crucial evidence while in the possession of the Lackawanna Police Department, and the absence of critical witnesses ..." he said.
He also noted that previous district attorneys have declined to prosecute the Rodriguez case.
"Neither Edward Cosgrove nor Richard Arcara, nor Kevin Dillon, nor Frank Clark, prosecuted that case, either, for the same reason: There's not enough evidence," he said.
Lackawanna police and investigators from other departments emphasize that they reworked the case and uncovered new evidence that should go to a grand jury.
"The case has been actively investigated, and there are new developments," said a law enforcement official familiar with what has been uncovered. "And when it comes to new evidence, it is significant. It is both physical and eye-witness."
Evidence comes first
Lt. James Panus, president of the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association, said he has heard the complaints about Sedita.
"Some of the members have been speaking to me about their frustrations about the prosecutorial efforts of the district attorney's office. I realize, though, that the DA has constraints, and I have met and talked with Mr. Sedita regarding an exchange of information between his office and the Buffalo Police Department to facilitate his prosecutorial efforts," Panus said.
Sedita said that while he and his staff respect the hard work of police officers, his office cannot be swayed by emotions, hunches and opinions.
"Sometimes a defendant is properly charged, sometimes a defendant is undercharged, and sometimes a defendant is wrongfully charged. In any of these events, it is the prosecutor who is called upon to review the evidence to determine whether that evidence is credible, admissible, legally sufficient and factually sufficient. If it is, we prosecute," he said.
When those standards are not met, Sedita said, his office either asks police to continue the investigation or he declines to prosecute.
"Our review process has resulted in the exoneration of 43 defendants who were accused of felonies by police officers. ... Please note that all of these exonerations occurred after the defendant's arrest but before the ordeal of a trial," the DA said. "It would be unlawful and unethical for me to prosecute a case that I know does not have sufficient evidence."
Sedita's scrutiny of criminal allegations brought him accolades from the Innocence Project in New York City, which cited increasing numbers of wrongly convicted individuals obtaining their freedom through exonerating DNA evidence.
"Given that we have learned a lot about the flaws in the system through DNA exoneration, we should value prosecutors who are heeding these lessons and making sure they are prosecuting the right people," said Innocence Project spokesman Paul Cates.
One critic steps forward
Many of Sedita's critics in law enforcement did not want to be named for this article, noting that they have to keep a working relationship with him.
Sedita responded that it was unfair of them to hide their criticism behind the cloak of anonymity.
"I believe it is more realistic to conclude that your police sources realize that I would be better able to refute their claims, were I to know their identity," Sedita said.
One exception is Capt. Gregg Blosat, who wrote an article in the Buffalo PBA's union newspaper, the Blue Line, arguing Sedita needs to take a more aggressive stance against shooters and their accomplices.
"The statute reads burden of proof is beyond reasonable doubt, which DOES NOT mean all doubt, so help the jurors understand that," Blosat wrote. "If you actually want to stop the blood – prosecute all shooters."
Police in Buffalo and in the suburbs told The Buffalo News they appreciated Blosat for taking a public stand.
And Sedita's explanations that he knows best about the rules of evidence failed to convince his critics.
"Police know the rules of evidence when it comes to prosecution," said one high-ranking police official who has been involved in several successful homicide cases.
Another police source, a veteran Buffalo homicide detective, said that when he or his colleagues call the DA's office to move forward with an arrest, the first question asked is whether the suspect has confessed.
"They want it tied up with a ribbon all the time. Obviously, there are cases where we do have confessions, and they run over to take them," he said, "but there are other cases where we do not, and those are the cases where we are told 'Hold off' or 'We are going to need more evidence.' "
Panus, the PBA leader, says he would like to bring about a meeting between frustrated police officials and the DA's office "so that every one of us can be on the same page."
Until that happens, hard feelings are likely to continue between police of several agencies and the district attorney.
"You have police personnel doing their best to bring the bad guys in, but if it appears to prosecutors that it is not a 100 percent slam-dunk case, then they'll opt not to move forward," another Buffalo investigator said. "Often there's great evidence, and it's something we should let the jury system decide on."

Illegal drugs such as heroin, crack cocaine, "bath salts," and the like are serious problems in Ohio. But legal painkillers, though often abused and trafficked illegally, may be an even bigger threat in some ways.
Painkiller abuse and use of heroin and similar drugs are linked, experts point out. Some of those who become dependent on pain pills move on to heroin addiction.
Hundreds of accidental deaths each year are linked to drug abuse. In 2007, drug overdoses, with many of them involving prescription painkillers, killed more Ohioans than highway crashes.
A coordinated approach to attacking misuse of prescription painkillers seems to be bearing some fruit, but progress has been excruciatingly slow.
Last year - you may want to sit down for this - Ohio residents were prescribed 767,763,408 doses of painkillers. That works out to 67 pills for every resident of the state.
And that does not count the pain pills obtained illegally, sometimes through theft and sometimes through dealers who buy the drugs in other states, then bring them to Ohio for sale.
Efforts to combat the epidemic cut the number of painkiller prescriptions by 6.7 million doses between 2010 and 2011. While that may seem to reflect progress, the reduction was less than 1 percent.
Clearly, the multi-front battle against painkiller abuse needs to be stepped up. State agencies and insurance companies are working to lessen addiction among those who, with the best of motives, needed relief from pain but became addicted. Law enforcement authorities are cracking down on pill mills - doctors and pharmacies that prescribe and sell painkillers to all comers. New efforts to identify and treat addicts are helping.
Clearly, existing initiatives are helping - but not enough. They need to be expanded and intensified, and new ways to deal with the crisis need to be found. In terms of health care needs in Ohio, reversing the growth of painkiller abuse should be a top priority.

Laconia sled dog race postponed
Icy trails deemed too dangerous for dogs
Organizers have canceled this weekend's World Championship Sled Dog Derby in Laconia, saying rain and sleet coated the trails with thick ice.
Lakes Region Sled Dog Club President Jim Lyman said it's in the best safety interest for the dogs and mushers not to run.
Organizers said a snowstorm expected Saturday night might also make conditions difficult. Too much snow could create uneven trails.
Lyman said there's talk about holding the event next weekend.
The club will meet Monday night to make a final decision on whether to proceed.
This is the second time this year the derby has been postponed because of unfavorable weather. It was originally scheduled for Feb. 8-10.

#5. ManimalThe lack of barrier between us and space has created what I and probably future scientists call the "Manimal Sphere." This is the expanding area of the universe that Earth is filling with Manimal broadcasts. Manimal is a show about a man who can turn into animals that first aired in 1983, which means that right now there is a wall of half-man/half-animal 153,000,000,000,000 miles away from us in every direction, and it's traveling at the speed of light. If that didn't just explode your brain, tell your brain to quit being a fucking idiot and explode.
In the grand scheme of things, the "Manimal Sphere" isn't very big. In fact, using Christian math, that's more like 28-- barely the distance to Iowa. The point is, we'll be long dead before that hits any star systems with cable. But if you're a couple of outer space cow rapists and you fly through a Manimal brodcast wave, it's probably going to get you thinking.
#4. Independence DayIgnore how the Fresh Prince of Bel Air can beat your deadliest star pilots in combat, or how Judd Hirsch can outwit your mothership's software network. When you aliens are watching Independence Day, I hope what you really take away from it is this: Randy Quaid can kill you. That's not good news, space monsters. Randy Quaid isn't our best human. Here on Earth, we make Randy Quaid wear a helmet when he tries to think. Of Mice and Men was actually a Randy Quaid reality show. When a casting director can't get an orangutan for a part, they call Randy Quaid, and they have to use a special summoning horn to do it because Randy Quaid eats anything that rings. Randy Quaid once farted from April of 1991 to November of 1993. The point is, if he can stop your space invasion, you are fucked. Randy Quaid thinks anything with more than three letters is a suppository. I realize a lot of my intergalactic communication theories revolve around the idea that all aliens are like the ones in Galaxy Quest that can't tell the difference between fantasy and documentary. But let's not be stupid-- aliens have no idea what's going on. They come to a planet with Google, and their idea of research is jamming tubes up a hillbilly. They're either morons or completely made up. But like I said before, let's not be stupid.
#3. E.T. The ExtraterrestrialWhen E.T. came here, all he wanted to do is eat candy and cure the sick. And we said good luck with that when you're dead, you filthy alien. Here on Earth, we don't care if you're adorable or benevolent. If you create a magical friendship bond with a young boy, we'll put you in separate rooms and kill Santa in front of him just to see if his sadness can pass through walls. We will cut you open because learning how your stupid space liver processes Reese's Pieces is more important to us than your gurgling talking noises or the suburban family that fell in love with you. Our worst doctors will mutilate your body, cover it up and release chunks of you into the retail market as Velcro. We've done it before. If you truly wanted to be a friend to the Earthlings, you should have thought about that before you were born in filthy outer space.
#2. Battlefield EarthThis movie is way too bad to be an accident. It was created to send a clear message to outer space: You suck. Say what you want about Scientologists, but they are better than anyone at making aliens look like assholes. Let's look at the facts. In this movie, aliens came here with their technologically advanced warships and wiped out our planet's jet fighters in nine minutes. Pretty logical so far, right aliens? But as Battlefield Earth explains, 1000 years later, a few cavemen dust off those ancient jet fighters and kill your John Travolta and his entire family. Humans don't give a fuck about your alien space logic. We're so goddamn stupid that we don't even know what can't be done. Do you know what happens when you let jet fuel sit stagnant for 1000 years, alien? We don't. In fact, we think we're fags for even asking something so sciencey, but look at who's dead. You.
#1. War of the WorldsIn War of the Worlds, we lose for 89 minutes and then all the aliens die because of Earth germs. Aliens are dumbasses. Even after we saw E.T. heal us, we knew to put on biohazard suits before we tried to kill him. And these War of the Worlds aliens fly down here in their giant tripods and vaporize entire urban centers with their windows down. Hey, squid people of Mars or wherever, what did you think would happen when you inhaled the dust of 2,000,000 corpses and 60,000 dumpsters? That's on you. It's not like we were throwing smallpox Snuggies into your teepees. Humans are disgusting. We'll have sex with anything. Every day, an Earth doctor pulls an octopus or a light bulb out of someone that was put it there on purpose. Captain Kirk boned things that didn't even have holes until he met them. And this article itself is probably next to an ad featuring a flashlight that you can fuck. Seriously, come visit, aliens. See what happens.

Early Occupational Defamation and Disloyal Lawyers: 'He is Ambodexter. There Cannot Be a Greater Slander'
Jonathan Rose
Arizona State University College of Law
Cambrian Law Review, Vol. 33, p. 53, 2002
Defamation, a subject of considerable interest to legal historians, did not become actionable in the royal courts until the early 16th century. As the secular cause of action for defamation developed, there were a number of actions instituted by lawyers, including a significant number of defamation suits by lawyers accused of being ambidexters, the contemporary term for conflict of interest. Medieval discipline of lawyers for ambidexterity, a common form of lawyer misconduct, likely contributed to making these accusations actionable defamation. This paper studies 45 early modern defamation cases involving accusations of lawyers of ambidexterity. The discussion analyzes the initial and evolving defamatory language and its judicial treatment. The cases show that accusing a lawyer of being an ambidexter was clearly and unequivocally actionable as defamation and that nothing was more defamatory than charging a lawyer with disloyalty to a client. Moreover, the word, ambidexter, signified substantial opprobrium. The defamatory nature of such accusations and this word and the negative impact on professional reputation of these accusations were linked to usages within the legal profession and contemporary literary works and religious discourse. The paper concludes by suggesting that these early defamation suits by lawyers may have played a role in the evolution of the more general category of professional and occupation defamation that probably did not arise until the next century.

Barbara Schulz Smith, Coordinator
As part of Westminster's commitment to develop new models of teaching and learning, several interdisciplinary learning communities are available to first-year students. These interdisciplinary courses are designed to help students:
Learning communities at Westminster link two classes together with a common theme. Typically, at least one of the classes also fulfills a liberal education requirement. Sometimes, a course is paired with an INTR course which is a course designed for first-year students as a seminar class that focuses on issues of college life. The majority of learning community classes are designed for first-year students and are NOT upper division (300-level) credit.
Learning communities are taught primarily by full-time faculty members. This is one of the bonuses of learning communities. Students get to meet and interact with professors who have chosen to teach first-year students as part of their teaching responsibilities at Westminster.
If you entered Westminster during the Fall of 2006 (or after this date) as a first-year student, you will need to take at least one learning community during your first year here. These interdisciplinary classes vary widely on theme and topic areas. By way of example, learning community classes have included the pairing of Psychology and English Composition, Speech and Philosophy, Anthropology and the Arts, and Business and Statistics. Many additional choices are offered each semester. Current learning community (LC) class offerings are listed in the class schedule and on the Westminster Learning Community website.
Note: Students who do not pass one or both courses contained within a first-year learning community are not required to repeat the learning community experience but will be required to successfully pass any liberal education category represented by courses within the learning community.

The Big Miracle star and fiancé Will Kopelman took another big step together on Sunday, adopting an 8-week-old rescue puppy from Bark n' Bitches, a humane pet shop in Hollywood, Calif.
For Barrymore, a longtime animal rescue advocate and fan of dogs, the step was a natural one, but for Kopelman, it was a first. The New York City native has never had a dog before, and after finding the puppy on Petfinder, stopped by the shop with Barrymore to get to know the dog.
"They really were very thoughtful and not impulsive about making the decision," Bark n' Bitches owner Shannon von Roemer tells PEOPLE. "Drew, being such a huge dog fanatic, was great to Will. She really wanted him to feel it out and make the decision."
The shepherd mix puppy, whose new name is Oliver, was part of a litter left in a box outside the door of a Los Angeles-area shelter. Half the litter was rescued by von Roemer. And in an only-in-Hollywood twist, the pups were then fostered by Twilight actress Nikki Reed and husband Paul McDonald.
Reed, who Tweeted frequently about her exploits with the dogs, had a sad goodbye when they left. "My heart hurts," she wrote last week.
She'll be happy to know that at least one of the puppies has already found a great new home. In an interview on The Ellen Degeneres Show airing Wednesday, Barrymore said, "I think Ollie hopefully has hit the jackpot."
Barrymore said that she, too, feels like she got lucky – in love. "He's a good man," she said of her fiancé. "He's a good person and I just feel really lucky and really happy and really calm. Which is a really wonderful feeling."

Kwiat went 5-0 with three pins, while Reynolds finished 4-0 with a pair of pins and a major decision.
Reynolds was also named the tournament's top 170-pounder, but Kwiat did not gain that honor at 220 pounds. The 220-pound award went to Port Clinton's Chris Overfield.
Hopewell-Loudon's Chet Swartzmiller (106) and Damion Vitt (126), and Fostoria's Keegan Green (152) also landed on the all-tournament team.

Keegan Green's 4-0 day for the Redmen included a technical fall.
Calvert finished eighth in the nine-team tournament, falling 48-18 to Fremont Ross in the finals.
Bernie Somers (106/113) also went 5-0 for H-L, Coltan Hossler (285) turned in a 4-0 effort, and Tristan Myers (160) and Elijah Bustillos (195) each ended 4-1.

MARTINSBURG - Even though she's far from home, there's no mistaking the determination in Tara White's voice.
She talks via cellphone about how the use of medical marijuana could help her chronically ill, nearly 3-year-old son Brandon, who suffers from a rare type of epilepsy, why it means so much to his quality of life, and how much she's willing to do to help him feel better.
Local residents, the mother-son duo have been in Denver, Colo., for a month and have just achieved their medical marijuana goal, White said, adding that the final doctor's recommendation was given Wednesday.

Since being approved, the youngster - who will celebrate his third birthday Sept. 18 - received a brownish liquid that will hopefully meet his medical needs. It still contains the compound in marijuana - cannabiodiol (CBD) - that has positive medical effects, but lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH) which is associated with the being "stoned," she said, adding that there's also some evidence that CBD can help counter the effects of TCH.
Although excited, White was also nervous about getting her son started on the medicine. She said the dosage will gradually increase as doctors evaluate his reaction - and, hopefully, progress.
Still, it didn't come a moment too soon for White, who sighed as she describes a recent epileptic seizure, saying, "it was so bad, I really thought he would die. I was ready to call 911, but then he started coming back."
Just moments later, she hangs up suddenly as a smaller seizure balloons and her son is once again at the mercy of his illness.
She said the earliest indications of his medical problems - he was diagnosed as having Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome -occurred when he experienced infantile brain spasms at eight months of age.
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is a severe form of epilepsy and seizures usually begin before children are four years old.
Seizure types, which vary among individuals, include tonic (stiffening of the body, altered respiratory patterns), atonic (brief loss of muscle tone and consciousness - can cause abrupt falls), atypical absence (staring spells) and myoclonic (sudden muscle jerks).
According to the Epilepsy Foundation, the peak age of onset is between ages three and five, with a slightly greater prevalence in males than females. It is rare, occurring in about 0.3 of 1,000 live births.
While treatment usually includes anti-epileptic medications, there is usually no single medication that will control all of these seizures. Children who improve initially may later show tolerance to a drug and have uncontrollable seizures, according to the federal government's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
It is also characterized by a resistance to therapies, behavior disturbances and moderate to severe cognitive dysfunction.
White said her son has multiple seizures every day, which render him virtually lifeless because he drools, loses all muscle tone and his eyes roll back into his head.
She also believes there has been a negative cognitive impact since he doesn't talk, isn't able to walk and is prone to falls. Even with services such as speech therapy, he has continued to decline physically and mentally, White said.
Numerous pediatric neurologists have cared for him - including physicians in West Virginia, Maryland and now, Colorado - with varying success, although the seizures have continued unabated and "no medicine helps," she said.
White said she decided to pursue this specialized treatment after researching the use of medical marijuana among children and learning about the many success stories nationwide. "Even the children who have the more severe types of epilepsy, like Brandon does, have improved significantly by using this treatment - to the point that most of them don't have seizures any more," she said.
Colorado is one of 19 states to now allow the use of medical marijuana. Last month, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave conditional approval to "legislation aimed at ensuring sick children receive the treatment their parents prefer, while maintaining appropriate safeguards."
Undaunted by possible criticism, White said her family is supportive and she also hopes this alternative treatment will greatly reduce, if not eliminate, the youngster's seizures.
"The idea is to use marijuana in this form to help get rid of seizures and even pain, not to get high. People shouldn't envision a two- or three-year-old smoking a joint. And from what has happened with other children, it has been a miracle," she said.
Aside from being about 1,600 miles away from home and her other two children, White is also footing the bill for her travel and housing accommodations. That's financially tough because she's no longer working after deciding her priority was to spend as much time as possible with her ailing son.
"I'm at the point where my child really, really needed help, so this was my last resort, in a sense. And I know that I'm not alone, which is why I'm also hoping to do what I can to see the law change in West Virginia to allow the medical use of marijuana - a positive change that would no doubt help many children," White said, adding that she plans to continue lobbying local and state legislators for their help.
Delegate Mike Manypenny, D-Taylor, has - single-handedly at times - been working for three years to legalize the medical use of marijuana and is encouraged by what may be possible in West Virginia.
Although he was the bill's only sponsor for two years, that changed in 2013 when there were 10 co-sponsors - including eight Democrats and two Republicans, including Delegate Larry Kump of Berkeley County.
In the beginning, some people predicted this support would be the end of his fledgling political career, but that hasn't happened, Manypenny said.
There wasn't any negative response from community members after he wrote a lengthy editorial for his local newspaper, but about a half dozen people did contact him about how marijuana might help with their specific medical problems, he said.
A public hearing held in April attracted eight or nine presenters - including the WV Nurses' Association and some emergency room doctors - who were all supportive, he said.
Manypenny, who doesn't advocate for the recreational use of marijuana, said he has been contacted by White and understands why she wants legislative action.
"We're dealing with the health of children. And it is sad that we have a way to treat her son, but instead she has to go nearly 2,000 miles to get what is needed. We could do it here if we were just a little more forward-thinking," Manypenny said in a telephone interview.
"It is her responsibility as a mother to take the best possible care of her child, and I admire her courage for doing just that," he said.
Now it's up to policymakers to take a stand, Manypenny said.
"Life is short, and I definitely see a need for a compassionate use law - especially since many West Virginia residents have chronic ailments that would benefit from it," he said.

At the Cross
Be Exalted, O God
All My Days
Whatever My God Ordains Is Right
Hail the Risen King
He is Jesus
In a Little While
I Will Cast My Cares

Mark has been senior pastor of Sovereign Grace Church (Indiana, PA) since 1982. Over more than 25 years he's written hundreds of songs for worship, including "I Stand in Awe" and "I'm Forever Grateful."
Stephen began songwriting as a teenager, and his songs have recently appeared on Sovereign Grace albums such as Valley of Vision and Worship God Live.
The songs on In a Little While range from the upbeat, electric-guitar-driven "At the Cross" to "Whatever My God Ordains Is Right," a gentle rendition of a seventeenth-century hymn. All reflect the hope found where daily life meets biblical truth.

MORGANTOWN Rick Trickett and wife Tara certainly are proud and pleased their son Clint, an experienced quarterback, decided to finish his collegiate football and academic career at West Virginia University.
"Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer," exclaimed the father Tuesday night from Florida State, where he's in his 41st year of football line coaching.
Clint Trickett, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound transfer from Florida State, is a Morgantown-area native. He already has a graduate degree but still has two years of athletic eligibility.
Article Photos
"He always wanted to go to WVU," Rick Trickett said. "But Bill (Stewart) did not recruit him. He attended Morgantown High for one year, then played three years in high school here (Tallahasse).
"Clint's a really good kid. He wants to play. He's sat around a lot for three years (two as a backup, one as a redshirt). I had no problem with that."
The game-tested, mature youngster, who joined the WVU squad in May, is battling Paul Millard and Ford Childress for the starting quarterback job.
Third-year head coach Dana Holgorsen said he will not name any starters this week.
Childress is a redshirt freshman and Millard is a junior who backed graduated superstar Geno Smith the past two years. Trickett, who started two games for Florida State, operated from a different style of offense than WVU signal callers do. So he has been trying to adapt quickly.
"As long as your kids are happy, you should be," said Rick, who served as an outstanding line coach at WVU from 2001-06. He also coached both the defensive and offensive lines two years each in the 1970s.
He expressed confidence that his son has the knowledge and experience to make a smooth, fast transition to WVU's style of offense.
"Clint has done very well so far in his career, academically and athletically," the veteran coach noted. "Now he wants to go back home and help some others win."
West Virginia is winding up its two-week fall training camp Saturday. The fall semester of classes begins Monday.
West Virginia opens its 2013 football season at home Aug. 31 against William & Mary.
