Mount Union couldn't have asked for a better start to its PIAA Class AA first-round baseball matchup with South Fayette.
But the Trojans couldn't make it stand for seven innings.
The visiting Lions rallied to score three runs in the top of the seventh inning to edge Mount Union, 5-4, at Peoples Natural Gas Field on Monday.
Lion coach James Barton couldn't have been happier with how his team bounced back.
"I have to give my kids credit for not quitting," he said.
The WPIAL's No. 3 team went right to work. Shortstop Aaron Fonner led off the game with a single and scored the first run, giving the Lions a 1-0 lead.
The Trojans responded right away in the bottom of the first inning.
Lead-off hitter Boomer Brown belted a leadoff single and scored on a sacrifice fly by Trojan shortstop Trevon Walker to tie the game at 1-1. The inning was capped off with an RBI single by Brandon Rogers to give the District 6 champions a 4-1 lead.
"The first inning offensively we were good," Mount Union coach Nick Imperioli said.
The Lions managed to cut the lead in half on an RBI double by Jake Quattro in the next inning.
Starting pitchers Darrian Stapleton for Mount Union and South Fayette's Zach Walker managed to put on a pitching clinic for the next five innings. Neither pitcher allowed a run with Stapleton allowing five hits to Walker's four.
"I was just missing my pitches early," Walker said. "I started to pick things up, and I found my spots."
He gave up four runs on the day, striking out five and walking six.
The Lions' offense was able to provide him the run support he needed.
Quattro drew a lead-off walk and scored on Fetchet's single to cut the deficit. Catcher Chris Sarnowski finished it off with a two-run double to put the Lions ahead for good, 5-4.
"They're a good team," Barton said. "They fought hard; they scratched."
The Lions will now meet WPIAL foe Riverside in the state quarterfinals on Thursday at a time and site to be announced.
Although frustrated, Imperioli was happy with the season.
"We did a good job," he said. "The kids played well. When you lose, it's not so much the loss, it's how we lost."

55% for "You can't compare humans with other animals because we are different." I am simply amazed by how ignorant people are. How on earth can we get on when people believe this, in spite of all the scientific evidence. Boreme is nice. But again and again I see many ignorant and prejudiced people here. Just the fact that they think they know better than the science on this issue... Man o man.

The method of Gay Couple Surrogacy is proved to be successful till now and many Gay Couples enjoy getting this service.
Guest: london1 (1906 days ago)
what i want to know is what were 2 gays with a video camera and a child doing in the bathroom?
So you're stupid enough to think that Gay = Peadophile? .. does that mean that when a husband wife are in the bathroom with their kid, that they're pedofiles too. Logic Fail you *complete* Muppet.
Guest: that guy (1824 days ago)
I was more or less thinking the same as london1, however not associating gay and pedophile, more meaning the comparison of adults filming children in a bathroom, which I think london1 was trying to make, however it was misconstrude by overprotective jackasses
Guest: london1 (1905 days ago)
But dont you athiests automatically equate being a priest with being a peadophile as in the way you also equate being a Christian with being a creationist. So it's your own logic that fails. Also thats not their kid so thats a bullsh1t argument you came up with

Guest: Bohica (1753 days ago)
The problem with homosexuals is that they are predators - like all men are, only instead of preying on young women, they prey on boys. The former is expected, the latter is why homosexuality is so universally despised. They seem to believe that the idea of being "born homosexual" only goes for them, but not for the heterosexuals they want to convert.

You people are fu***** nuts. Educate yourselves. PREDITORS? roflmao. really? Dumba** idiot.
Guest: Theo1689 (1524 days ago)
It seems many of you did not read the article. LINK It clearly said homosexual behaviour, as practiced by humans, is not normal in the animal kingdom. "it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity.[7]"

I didn't know people had more than 8 gigs of games on their phones. That should be more than enough for most customers. The majority of memory needed is generally for photos, videos, and music.
Will 64GB cards work?
26. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
yes it is for now but u would have heard wp8 will support DirectX features now wht u think are the games gona be still in stoneage for moblies
9. lpratas (Posts: 304; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
Still criticize the Symbian! Almost since that Symbian exists we can install applications on expandable memory. Today still there are operate systems that don't allow this option, like Windows Phone and Ios. Only could be the systems of the mobsters!
18. rnk.khch (Posts: 86; Member since: 30 Jan 2012)
That's very true!! every time I install an app on my Symbian phones, I get the option of phone memory, mass memory, or memory card. That's why Symbian has always been the best, is the best, and will be the best!!
android and ios are mere children's toys. But, I really hope that Windows Phone 8 will eventually improve to become as capable as Symbian!

So, if you have 16 GB of storage on your phone, and put in a 32 GB memory card, you can store 32 GB worth of movies, music, videos, and pictures, and 16GB of apps.
Which is ...... Bad? Somehow?
It is strange, I will spot you that. But 16GB even for heavy gamers is plenty, isn't it? I am not offended by this. It isn't something that will detract from the experience. If you change devices, you can redownload your apps anyways. And your personal photos and such come with you on your memory card.
31. android_sucks (Posts: 111; Member since: 28 Jul 2011)
Nope...I have a 64 gb 4th gen ipod touch with only 5 gb of space left. I need more!!!

Seriously guys you are pathetic!
Who needs to install apps on SDcards?!?! I never did that and never will!
It's completely against logic and stability of the phone experience!
Suppose that your SD got dead in the middle of the day what would you do?!
Always use SD for data/photos/storage/media etc...
(BTW i'm an android fan!)
13. newuser1 (Posts: 255; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
I think that is fine. apps installed on SD card can run slow, storage is for data only.
22. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) (Posts: 535; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)
Well there is SD speed which should be class 10, which is very fast...
14. dexter_jdr (Posts: 1163; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
pc hard drive = mass storage for phone
flash drive(USB)/CDs = memory card for phone
computer games = apps for phones
>>I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA NOW... installing/playing it on permanent drives are better(i guess even the security of it).. also, a great +1 that you could put those installers at your mem card aswell (backup purposes, etc.,you decide)
17. gwhyte01 (Posts: 44; Member since: 09 Jul 2008)
Apparently they want WP to transform into Android.
23. Snoobab (Posts: 175; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
My guess the decision was to avoid degrading the user experience - Some time or another we've all seen apps installed on SD card slow down or lag to a certain extent. Having them installed on phone memory will avoid this.
29. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)
Not being able to put games on my SD card isn't that big of a deal to me, I don't play games that much, and I save my SD card for my jango music and all my videos.

Microsoft the desktop PC and laptops use DVD read and writ drives on them for people to put programs, Music Videos, Documents and games in and out of the computer. Microsoft today flash memory is the way to go
are your technology people slow or retarded your smart phones and tablets need to be able to read and write data to different types of flash memory Media or else they will be useless to some people Damn why do you want to weaken your product be fore it even hits the market. you need a new technology staff the guys you have now
made a good "surface tablet" but damn don't they know it needs a medium to put data in and out of the the Tablet or smart phone let us know the reasons for this action

Turn your house into a home with our wonderful selection of
Curtains and Voile Panels. Curtains are a simple and practical
way to enhance the appearance and atmosphere of any room.
Perfect for preventing warmth from escaping during the winter
months, curtains are also ideal for keeping the harsh sunlight
out during summer.
Blackout Curtains
How to Measure for Curtains
When measuring for curtains, always measure the pole and not the window to get the correct length and drop. Allow for extra curtain, so that they meet in the middle with sufficient gather. Decide on what drop you want e.g. to the floor, or to the sill. Remember that curtains to the floor should finish about 1.5cm (1/2") from the floor in order to reduce wear. Curtains to the sill should finish 15cm (6") below the window sill to reduce draught and light. Where curtains are sold in pairs, measurements refer to each individual curtain. For example if you buy a pair curtains that are 167x229cm (66"x 90") each individual curtain will be 167x229cm.

5 arrested on meth charges in Elkins
December 31, 2012
Police arrested five local residents over the weekend for allegedly operating a meth lab in an Elkins home....
You guys are horrible. I am Billy Ray Marks II, Micheal Leon Benningtons brother. And to come on here and read that the 8 comments about my brothers arrest, yes he wasn't perfect, was to wish for nothing but his death..really? And he wasn't scum he just followed a path that was easy you don't know his life and how hard it was for our family when he was just a kid. We used to be poor..my mom had 3 kids and doing everything she could even donating her blood as much as possible just to get extra money to buy us Popsicle sticks. He went to go live with his good for nothing father and yes he slipped..just as you would have or anyone else. So don't think you know him..not even for a moment and do not judge him because you don't have any attempt of a right to. He still has family that loves him and will reach out their hand when he falls regardless of how he fell. I am 26 years old and served in the united states army and no offense but if I ever deploy again I hope your in my sights.

Puremagic, get off of the liberal hateing crap. I'm a liberal and we hate the druggies and the low-life scoundrels that rape our neighborhoods and the law enforcement that either socialize with them or just give them a slap on the wrists. This problem is bi-partisan. The only thing as citizens we can do is report unsavory activities in our community to the proper authorities and hope that they will act and not enable those who are ruining our communities. If they don't act, remember them will election time comes.

^ so very impressive!
Orser's done fine with a lot of other students. Say what you will about N.Morosov, but he has good jump coaches working with his students too... I don't think the problem is necessary the coaching. As soon as things go wrong with Rafael, he'll probably run there too.
And as for rushing skaters, I don't think its necessarily rushing to give skaters opportunities. This level IS pressured and difficult but your going to have to learn to deal with eventually. Farris has already been to Jr Worlds, several times...If he delivers well at Nationals, why not send him.
Right now I'm not convinced on Jason Brown. I kind of see him as Rippon 2.0..Although he's young seems like the 3axel may be coming along....I'd bet more money on Farris's "potential"

Evan was only 19 when he went to his first Worlds. Granted he had skated as a Senior that season internationally too but still the experience was valuable to his for making the 2006 Olympic team. On the other hand i don't see how Adam can get much better. He lacks a quad and his jumps lack power.

When the spigot is open, the points just seem to keep flowing for the Stetson women's basketball team.
The Hatters turned on the faucet early and flirted with the century mark in a 98-75 victory over host Kennesaw State Saturday afternoon at the KSU Convocation Center.
Amber Porter scored a career-high 28 points and collected 11 rebounds as Stetson (12-5) improved to 4-1 in the Atlantic Sun Conference and extended its win streak to a season-high four games.
It was the Hatters' sixth time over 90 points this season.
"We put up a lot of points because we have everybody scoring," junior guard Jama Sharp said. "One day, if someone is off their game we have someone else stepping up. It's really good when you have five players scoring in double digits. It is really hard to guard."
The Hatters had five players reach double figures for the ninth time this season. Sasha Sims netted 18 points, Brianti Saunders scored 17 points behind a perfect 7-of-7 shooting performance, and C.J. Coddington and Cherisse Burris added 10 points each.
However, it was Porter that dominated the paint and controlled the boards on both ends of the court.
"I thought Amber Porter was very effective," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "She was very aggressive today. She posted hard and I thought she handled (Kennesaw's defense) very well. They were very physical with her.
"The other part with (Amber) is what she does defensively," Bria added. "She alters shots and does so much for us. I was happy and proud of her that she was able to stay in the game. She has gotten into foul trouble (in the past), and we have had to take her out, and it has hurt us. She played more like a veteran today as far as staying in the game."
Stetson's offense was clicking right from the opening tip. The Hatters scored on their first eight possessions and held an 18-0 lead before the Owls (4-13, 2-4) were able to get their first point on the board.
"We got off to a great start, probably the best start we've had all year," Bria said. "That kind of set the tone for the game. I was real proud of our start. We hit some shots. (Brianti) hit one, Sasha was scoring, and Amber was scoring. It was very good for us as far as the offensive end."
After Kristina Wells hit a three-pointer to get KSU on the board, Stetson kept the pressure on, and back-to-back threes by Sharp and Sims gave Stetson a 28-8 lead at the 12:20 mark of the first half.
"We really wanted to focus on our start because we usually don't have good starts in the first half or the second half, and because Kennesaw State can be a dangerous team," Sharp said.
The Owls used the three-ball to stay within shouting distance, cutting Stetson's lead to 11 late in the first half. Sims answered with four straight points which sent Stetson into the break with a 46-31 advantage.
"We expected that," Bria said about the Owls' rally. "They are one of the hardest working teams in the conference. They are relentless, and we knew they wouldn't lay down and die. You have to play through their runs."
Stetson shot 65.4% in the second half and led by as many as 29 en route to the 23-point victory. Sharp had four assists in the final 20 minutes, including fastbreak dishes to Saunders and Coddington and a no-look pass under the basket to Burris.
The Hatters shot 56.9% (33-for-58) for the game and outrebounded Kennesaw State 43-38.
Stetson will return home next weekend to face North Florida at 7 p.m. Thursday night and Jacksonville at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Notes: Sasha Sims broke the school all-time record for blocks. She now has 138 in her career ... It was Porter's fifth double-double this season ... Stetson is now averaging 79.1 points per game ... The Hatters have shot over 50% in three of their last four games ... Adding last year's 21-4 game-ending run at KSU, Stetson outscored KSU 39-4 following Saturday's start ... The 18-0 run was a season-high ... Stetson won its 10th straight vs. Kennesaw State.

Lazy and unmotivated are two words i would never associate with Meryl and Charlie.
About seeing D/W live: they are incredible live. The speed, the precision, the energy--just unbelievable. At the Nationals in Omaha I was determined to take lots of pictures of ice dance, and with the high speed burst in my camera did indeed get some terrific pictures--except of Meryl and Charlie. They were simply too fast. All I got was a blurry image of Charlie's back and Meryl's face as they approached, and the next frame had nothing but a few strands of Meryl's hair as they had zoomed by From now on I won't even bother trying; I'll just sit back and enjoy the performance instead
Thanks for changing the title of this thread.
I think everything that D/W has done in the past 4 seasons is Gold worthy. Meryl and Charlie certainly don't rest on their laurels, they are still hungry. IMO Meryl and Charlie are going to be the team to beat at Sochi for Gold.
Crown them king and queen. Virtue and Moir will be a distant silver it would appear. But I do not think they or Evan are he hardest workers - there are a lot not just them.
D&W's hard work is evident. Their hard work paid off, and they're smart workers. Some skaters can work hard till the moon comes to their doorstep, but you won't see that much improvement in their skating compared to D&W.
First, Evan is perhaps the best at working the system - very smart. From getting a reknowned choreographer to try to make him look like an artist on ice, to get a well known designer and the list goes on - very smart. Arguably a different scoring system even with Brian Orser's errors in Calgary he may have beaten Boitano but reagardless Boitano was smart and milked the system and made himself appear like a champion - this is not innnate like Chan, Kim or D and W. My world of justice would see D and W rewarded for techno abilities but deducted somewhere for such safe music choices and a limited rane - though d and w fans will not like this. Their tango or things with extreme passion don't come off of them very well theatrically or genuine. Give them Disney love and that is their strength. They are disney skaters. Meryl the princess and Charlie the prince.
I'm frankly so tired of the "Evan works harder than anyone else" mantra. How does Frank or anyone else know what the other skaters do or don't do? For starters: on-ice training is not the only training the skaters do, so spending six hours on the ice (which doesn't sounds smart, to be honest) may be another skater's 3-4 hrs on the ice plus 2-3 hrs of whatever off-ice conditioning they do. This is not to say Evan or D/W are not hard workers--but every single skater who has reached the podium in the Worlds, or even Nationals in countries with many top level skaters--has worked extremely hard. There may be years when life throws a curve ball at an athlete--they may struggle with a changing body, or have personal problems and thus lose some focus and motivation. Athletes are human, after all. If they come back an reach the podium again a year or two later, however, you can bet they've worked their butt off to get there! So please, can we just agree that the top skaters all work very, very hard?
End of rant. And go Meryl and Charlie!
I don't think anyone here has said that elite skaters are lazy. That is an oxymoron. Elite and lazy don't go together. Just some do stand out more than others and that some people's work ethic have garnered more success than others. If you want to help your favorite skaters do well, then it's worth trying to identify the elements that led to their success. Even skaters known to have skewed work ethic such as Bowman, Bobek, Baiul, etc. still worked much harder than the average person in their peak years. However, their level still wasn't enough to stay at the top. There are competitors who are hungrier and will work harder than hard.
I remember reading Domnina and Shabalin's diary somewhere years ago. Hours on the ice, hours on choreography on the floor, hours on conditioning. But their results? Mixed, 2 Euro Champs, 1 World, Olympic bronze... they had the momentum to win OGM at one point, but Shabs' injury, their inevitable decreased training, and horrid Linichuk programs destroyed their chances. They had the goods but couldn't keep it up. So I don't think they're an example of worker smarter, not harder.
D&W is worker smarter, work harder. And it shows.
PLEASE - Can we leave Evan's work ethic out of this thread? PRETTY PLEASE??!!
I don't think there are any "lazy" skaters who are serious competitive athletes. By the time one gets to Junior, the ones who are not serious, are not willing to put in the time, don't make good use of their time tend to get weeded out. Lazy doesn't apply to D/W, V/M, or any other serious skaters.
I do think that D/W are more interested in the athletics of the sport and therefore are more strategic about their program choices. It's not about being "cutting edge" or "making a name with ground breaking programs", or even making sure there are radically new elements and choreography. It's about the medals. And COP today does not reward innovation as much as it should in my opinion, or new choreography, or new elements year over year, etc. V/M are more interested in how they are shaping the sport of ice dance, and therefore are making vastly different choices....especially the last couple of years. This culminated in the very unique and impressive piece of art and sport that was Carmen last year. But again, COP didn't reward their innovation and supreme quality of dance. If one compares the results of the 2 approaches, clearly the reward is not to push the sport, but to keep the status quo. I'm sure, in this Olympic year, we will see something much more mainstream from V/M because medals matter a little more to them this year, although I'm guessing it will still have their unique twist. Because the judges have been either too lazy or uneducated to really use GOE and especially PCS to distinguish these things, and both teams get pretty much the same PCS, there is no incentive for D/W to take any risks. That doesn't make them lazy. It makes them strategic. They are laser focused on their goals.

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have devised an advanced technique that uses mass spectrometry to identify specific proteins that are over-expressed in cancer cells, blood, urine, or any substance that contains proteins.
Using this new technique, they have already identified two proteins – MIF and CyP-A -- whose levels are elevated in lung cancer cells but not in normal cells, said Edward Patz, M.D., professor of radiology and pharmacology and cancer biology at Duke.
Their discovery is one of the first steps toward elucidating potential new drug targets aimed at blocking the effects of these proteins. Scientists could also develop a simple blood test using MIF and CyP-A as molecular markers to diagnose lung cancer without the need for invasive biopsies.

Rita Bell of North Collins is an American Kennel Club judge who is devoted to dogs. Born in Girard, Pa., Bell moved to Western New York after graduating from Edinboro State College (now Edinboro University). For more than three decades, Bell worked as a math teacher in the Eden Central School District.
Bell is now retired, and she spends much of her time with her German shorthaired pointers, including Phoenix, a grand champion. Next weekend, Bell will be one of the judges at the Nickel City Cluster dog show, which features AKC clubs from Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Ashtabula, Ohio. The event, which runs from Wednesday through Sunday at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg, will draw hundreds of entries.
People Talk: Were you always into dogs?
Rita Bell: We always had dogs in the house, but I grew up showing horses. We had a pasture and barn in our backyard, and for my sixth birthday, my grandfather brought over a pony called Bobby. My parents were not real thrilled.
PT: What attracted you to pointers?
RB: I'm not really a toy dog person. I like all dogs, but I wanted to have a dog that had a job to do. Pointers hunt birds, and they're very good with people. They're protective, but they're not aggressive. This breed appealed to me. I think they're a very attractive dog.
PT: Was earning your accreditation with the American Kennel Club an arduous task?
RB: Absolutely. We kid each other about the time we spend being approved to judge. We could have been doctors or lawyers. I took my first test and had my first interview in 1995. Because I was a breeder, I was only allowed to apply for one breed. I was approved in 1996 to judge German shorthaired pointers and junior showmanship. It took me six or seven years to be approved to judge the entire sporting group.
PT: Why does it take so long?
RB: There's a standard for each breed. Many of the breeds have disqualifications, and you have to be able to recite them during an interview. A certain number of times you have to be observed by an AKC field representative. If you get a number of positive evaluations, they will approve you for permanent status.
PT: Do you command respect in the ring?
RB: I taught math in junior high and high school in Eden for 31 and a half years. Teaching for that many years gave me the ability to go into a ring, judge a dog show and command a certain amount of respect.
PT: Don't dog judges have to make their decisions in a matter of seconds?
RB: Yes. AKC recommends a judge take two minutes for each dog. If you have a class of 30 dogs, you are expected to finish in 60 minutes. So you can't stand and stare and think about it. Like, this one has a wonderful head. This one moves better. You can't stand and analyze. That's why you need to know the breed standards.
PT: Is your decision final, or can it be challenged?
RB: There are no challenge flags thrown at a dog show. An exhibitor who may not like what a judge decides could choose not to enter their dog under that judge again.
PT: Have you ever been bitten on the job?
RB: No, though that could be a job hazard. I mean, some judges have been bitten, and the dogs are disqualified. Biting a judge is highly frowned upon. You can tell by looking at the dog's eyes, usually. There are aggressive biters and there are fear biters.
PT: Are there other drawbacks to being a judge?
RB: The travel, and going through security. Very seldom do I have a direct flight anywhere I'm going. So the travel is very tiring. Standing on hard floors is tiring.
PT: Do judges have a dress code?
RB: No. I try to wear a skirt, or in the summer a dress. I don't often judge in slacks.
PT: What makes Westminster Kennel Club shows so special?
RB: Westminster is a bench show. Dogs have to be in the building all day. They have to be in a crate on a platformlike bench. Philadelphia is still that way, too. Spectators can walk up and down the aisles looking at the dogs in the crates.
PT: Why are dogs so popular these days?
RB: People are realizing how wonderful dogs are. People kind of come and go, but dogs love you unconditionally. If you've been gone all day, they'll still love you. If you yell at them, they forgive you.
PT: Is there a shortage of judges?
RB: I wouldn't say so, but it is difficult for a judge to come up through the system and become an all-breed judge. There are seven groups. I've been doing this since 1995, and I have two groups, but I didn't pursue it as rapidly as I could. It takes a good part of a lifetime, so by the time somebody is an all-rounder they're old.
PT: What makes you good at what you do?
RB: I care about dogs. I want very much to do the right thing.
PT: Do you agonize over decisions after the fact?
RB: Sometimes, but it's a learning experience. You can't go back and second-guess yourself. You can't beat yourself up over it. You do the best you can on the day
PT: How can you tell a show dog is having a bad day?
RB: Their tail might be down. They might be uncooperative with their handler. They have to stand still. The judges will feel them to see if they're solid. A lot of dogs have long coats, so you're feeling to see what's under all that hair. Because some of the groomers are very skilled, they could cover up faults by grooming and hair spray.
PT: As a judge, what are you known for?
RB: I'm a sporting dog judge who likes movement. When I'm standing in the ring judging, I'm watching and I ask myself: Can this dog do the job it was bred to do? A pointer must be able to run in the field, pointing at birds. A retriever must be able to swim in water.
PT: Does judging dogs pay well?
RB: You get paid, but when you first start out, it costs you more than what you earn. You have to go to seminars, to specialty shows. That's all costly. Judges base their fees on the number of groups they judge. You have to love what you're doing.

Make a countdown calendar with her! Like all the ones for Christmas only use a silly spider or candy corn design. Every night before bed she gets to take a loop off/decorate something/whatever and when she reaches the end the next day will be trick or treat!

A capsule look at Bill O'Brien's weekly news conference.
Opponent: Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten)
Last time vs. Penn State: The Lions won on the road last year, 34-24.
Article Video
Kickoff: Saturday, noon
Television: ESPN
Line: Penn State is favored by 3; over/under is 49
Recruiting, part I: O'Brien gave a lengthy, passionate response when asked about recruiting in the wake of the NCAA sanctions. "I will tell you that when the sanctions happened, I know that everybody said, 'Uh oh, here we go, what's going to happen to Penn State?'" O'Brien said. The coach then went on to say that between 40-50 recruits have been at every home game and again stressed the importance of being on national TV every game and the positives about PSU, such as a good coaching staff, good education and playing in front of big crowds.
Recruiting, part II: O'Brien also stressed that PSU can help players get to the pros and noted every NFL team has had a scout at practice so far. "OK, the [scholarship] numbers ... are not equal to the other teams out there. We understand that. As a staff we have to do a great job of understanding that. But at the end of the day, you know, I've been very, very impressed with the fact that people really, really enjoy being recruited by us, coming to the games here. ... So is it going to be hard? Yeah. Recruiting's hard, recruiting's hard. But at the end of the day, I think there's a lot of good stuff."
Scholarship strategy for kickers: With only 65 scholarships from 2014-17, getting a top-flight punter or place-kicker could be tough because the best ones will get free rides somewhere. Whether or not to offer a kicker a scholarship, O'Brien said, is "a strategy that we are talking about every day, and it's an ever-evolving strategy, but that's something that we are very well aware of."
Top priority: PSU's former strength and conditioning program had been questioned for many years, and O'Brien told a telling story about his first meeting with LB Michael Mauti after getting the job. "That night I had a team meeting. He came right up to me after the meeting and had a lot of questions about our strength and conditioning program," O'Brien said. The players have raved about new strength coach Craig Fitzgerald since he was brought onto the staff.
Good bye time: The Lions get a bye after this week, then will have six games remaining. "I do like the fact that the bye week comes in the middle of the season. That's good," O'Brien said. "To me that's a good time for a bye. You've had a long training camp. You've had the beginning of your season and there have been some tough, physical games, so that's one good thing."

When you are really pissed off at someone who is normal(not retarded in anyway) and has a slightly down syndrome look face, you yell at them "what the fuck are you looking at, you down syndrome motherfucker!! This releases stress and puts a great big smile on your face. Try it today!
No examples needed for down syndrome motherfucker. You can fit it in with just about anything.

a heated debate over legislation passed earlier this year in Arizona
aimed at identifying, prosecuting, and deporting illegal immigrants,
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will
be increasing the number of unmanned
drones used to patrol the U.S. Mexican border, hunting for
drugs and illegal immigrants.The Federal Aviation
Administration has granted the DHS permission to launch
missions from along the border, including Texas, and along
the Gulf Coast region. The Customs and Border Protection
department will maintain a drone at the Corpus Christi Naval Air
Station in Texas. That drone will likely be used to hunt down
groups of people crossing the border illegal, alerting authorities to
apprehend them.The Office of National Drug Control Policy
will also be cooperating with the DHS on using other drones on
drug-enforcement related missions. The collaborative effort is
dubbed "Operation Roadrunner" and will scan license plates
on the U.S. side of the border to try to spot known drug
traffickers.The DHS will also be working with the Justice
Department to implement a cooperative framework to share
drone-related info with the state, local, and federal law enforcement
agencies. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's plan
involves cities not on the border, but in the general area providing
additional resources to the border towns.The drones used in
most of the patrol will be the General
Atomics MQ-9 Reaper, a large, versatile UAV sometimes referred to
as the Predator B. The Reaper can carry a heavy amount of
ordinance, but it would be assumed that the border patrol drones will
be unarmed. The drones can be outfitted with a variety of
sensors.Thus far the U.S. Border Patrol and Customs has only
used 6 Predator B drones, the first of which was deployed in Arizona
in October 2005. That drone contributed to the seizure of four
vehicles and 8,267 pounds of marijuana [PDF]. That
success encouraged the Border Patrol to establish more patrols of the
Mexican and Canadian borders. One drone is based in North
Dakota, at the UAS Operations Center in Grand Forks, four in Arizona,
at the UAS Operations Center in Sierra Vista and one based at Fort
Drum, N.Y.Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the drones
will be their use in detecting and capturing illegal immigrants.
President Obama, an advocate of immigration reform, was reportedly
reticent to increase government spending to deploy more drones to
track illegal immigrants and drugs on the border. However,
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) forced
Obama's hand by blocking the confirmation of Michael Huerta to be
deputy director of the FAA. They now are going to received the
$500M USD in extra federal spending they wanted, and at least two
more drones.Mexico is one of the heaviest sources of illegal
immigration. Of the 11 million illegal immigrants who
participated in a 2008
study by the Center for Immigration Studies, 57 percent, or
roughly 6.3 million individuals came from Mexico.
quote: Arizona is essentially giving the state the rights to ask for federal information (cops asking us for citizenship/green card papers?), which is highly unconstitutional.
quote: You can't have state officials ask you for FEDERAL documents.
quote: Where in the constitution does it say that local and state authorities are forbidden from enforcing federal law? The "unconstitutional" canard came only from those that haven't read 1070, and those that did immediately backed off on the assertion.
quote: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
quote: Millions of people immigrate to the United States of America legally every
quote: By making it way too difficult to legally immigrate to the US (something that the foundation of this country has been built upon), you promote illegal immigration.
quote: 1) This is a nation of foreigners so anyone who is hard core against immigration is a friggin moron they live in the USA
quote: Spokesman Mark Hinkle says Social Security does not know how much of the $9 billion can be attributed to illegal immigrants. The number is certainly not 100%, but a significant portion probably comes from taxes paid by illegal immigrants.Nine billion dollars sounds like a lot of money, and it is, but it is only about 1.5% of the total $593 billion paid into Social Security in 2005.The impact on Social Security is significant, though, because most of that money is never claimed by the people who pay it but instead helps cover retirement checks to legal workers.
quote: In 2006, then IRS Commission Mark Everson told Congress that "many illegal aliens, utilizing ITINs, have been reporting tax liability to the tune of almost $50 billion from 1996 to 2003."An IRS spokesman said more recent figures aren't available.The Social Security and Medicare taxes from mismatched W2s for the same period was $41.4 billion, Hinkle said.That adds up to roughly $90 billion in federal taxes during they eight-year period
quote: But the latest figures available indicate it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year. One rough estimate puts the amount of Social Security taxes alone at around $9 billion per year.
quote: Are the illegals now flying in the air?
