Over the past two seasons, both teams which earned the double bye as the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds lost their opening game ...

► IN THE MAC PART 1: The Ball State softball team is 367-379-1 (.492) all-time in Mid-American Conference action ... The Cardinals best two seasons, based on winning percentage, came in 2009 and 2013 when BSU went 18-3 (.857) ... This season, the Cardinals won the MAC title with a 12-4 (.750) league mark after missing six conference games due to weather ... The .750 winning percentage is the fifth-best in program history.
► IN THE MAC PART 2: From 2009 through last weekend's MAC action, the Cardinals have proven to be one of the league's premier programs by racking up a 95-26 (.785) record in league play ... Kent State has the second-best league record during the span at 78-44 (.639).
► HEAD COACH TYRA PERRY: After leading the Ball State softball team to a 12-4 league record, the 2014 MAC regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the 2014 MAC Softball Championship, Tyra Perry became the first first-year coach in program history to earn MAC Coach of the Year accolades ... A two-time Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year (2009 & 2013), Perry was named the eighth head coach in Ball State softball history Aug. 6, 2013 ... Perry enters the MAC Tournament with a 374-361-1 (.509) career record, including a 32-17 ledger so far in her first season at Ball State ... Perry's biggest win to date with the Cardinals was a 3-0 victory at then-No. 3 Arizona State (March 2) ... Prior to coming to Ball State, Perry had six-year head coaching stints at both Western Kentucky (2008-13) and Birmingham-Southern (2002-07) ... In 2013, Perry guided WKU to the program's first-ever NCAA Regional appearance and to a final ranking of 26th in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), the highest final ranking in program history ... The Lady Toppers also posted the program's first 40-plus win season (43-18) under Perry's tutelage in 2013, and earned its first SBC regular season title with a 20-3 league record.
► SCOUTING THE CARDINALS: Ball State enters the 2014 MAC Softball Championship with a 32-17 overall record and as the tournament's No. 1 seed after capturing the league's regular season title with a 12-4 MAC record ... Last weekend, Ball State split a Friday doubleheader versus Central Michigan (W, 8-3 / L, 5-8 in 8 inn.) before clinching the MAC regular season title with a Saturday win over Eastern Michigan (8-0 in 5 inn.) and the No. 1 seed in the league tournament with a Sunday victory over the Eagles (11-3 in 5 inn.) ... The Cardinals are the top batting team in the MAC with a .327 average and also lead the league in runs scored (289), slugging percentage (.539), on base percentage (.403), total bases (715) and home runs (59) ... Senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert leads the league in nearly every offensive category entering the tournament, including batting average (.414), slugging percentage (.952), on base percentage (.517), runs scored (54), runs batted in (61), home runs (19) and total bases (138) ... Sophomore center fielder Briana Evans is second on the squad and in the MAC with a .401 batting average ... In the circle, sophomore Kelsey Schifferdecker paces the squad with a 15-5 record and has three complete game shutouts on the year ... Schifferdecker also has a team-best 3.40 ERA over 133.2 innings of work and has struck out 70 batters.

► RPI UPDATE: Based on the strength of its 32-17 record entering the week, the Ball State softball team is 66th in the latest NCAA RPI rankings released May 5 ... The Cardinals have played 17 games versus current top 100 teams and own a 5-12 record in those games ... Kent State is the highest-ranked MAC team, one spot ahead of Ball State at 65th.
► SCOUTING MIAMI (RPI - 201): The RedHawks earned the No. 8 seed in the 2014 MAC Softball Championship by finishing the regular season with a 22-26 overall record, including a 9-11 ledger in league action ... Last weekend, the RedHawks clinched the final spot in the league tournament by going 3-1 ... After opening the weekend with a 5-3 loss to Eastern Michigan, Miami rebound to take the nightcap in a Friday doubleheader versus the Eagles by a score of 3-2 (9 inn.) ... The RedHawks then swept a two-game series versus Central Michigan with wins Saturday (3-2) and Sunday (3-0) ... Miami enters the tournament ranked fifth in the conference in batting (.273) and fielding (.962), while owning the seventh-best team ERA (3.27) ... Taylor Shuey leads Miami with a .325 batting average and is second with 24 runs scored ... Bree Lipscomb is the top slugger on the team with 18 doubles and eight home runs, she also has a team-best 38 RBI ... Paige Myers is Miami's top pitcher, boasting a 10-9 record in the circle with a 2.91 ERA over 108.1 innings of work ... Myers is also holding opponents to a .264 average and has 90 strikeouts on the year ... Ball State holds a 51-42 lead in the all-time series versus Miami, including wins in eight of the last 11 meetings ... Ball State swept the regular season series versus the RedHawks winning the first game 2-1 (April 26) and taking the second 9-1 in 5 inn. (April 27).
► MAC PLAYER OF THE YEAR: For the third consecutive year, Jennifer Gilbert was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year ... She is the first player in MAC history to earn the league's top individual honor three times ... She is also one of only 11 players in NCAA Division I history to earn their respective conference player of the year award three times.
► IN THE TOP 10: With her 75th career home run in last Sunday's 11-3 (5 inn.) win over Eastern Michigan, Jennifer Gilbert remains eighth on the NCAA Division I career home run list ... Gilbert, who is already the NCAA career home run leader among Canadian-born players, needs two homers to pass Arizona's Jenny Dalton (1993-96) for seventh all-time ... Former UCLA slugger Stacey Nuveman (1997, 99, 2001-02) is the NCAA Division I career home leader with 90 long balls ... Gilbert also enters the week ranked eighth in NCAA Division I history with a .822 career slugging percentage, which includes all active players meeting the minimum requirements (250 career at bats).
► LEADING THE NATION: Jennifer Gilbert enters the week as the NCAA Division I active career leader in RBI (246), runs scored (215), doubles (62) and home runs (75), all of which are also MAC career records ... Gilbert's 242 career RBI are 39 ahead of the next closest player, Alabama's Kaila Hunt ... Her 75 career home runs are seven ahead of Oklahoma junior Lauren Chamberlain, while her 215 career runs scored are 16 ahead of Arizona State's Alix Johnson ... Gilbert's 62 career doubles are tied with Louisville's Katie Keller, plus are just five more than her Ball State classmate Taylor Rager in fourth at 57 ...

► THE RAGER FACTOR: In addition to being the program's record holder for career double plays turned at 65, Taylor Rager is also close to the top in nearly every career offensive category ... Rager is currently fourth in program history with a .353 career batting average ... Her 175 career RBI are second in both BSU and MAC annals, while her 57 career doubles are tied for second in both BSU and MAC history ... Rager is also tied for second in program history in home runs (38) and fourth in hits (229).
► WALK IT OUT: Taylor Rager became just the sixth player in Mid-American Conference history to draw 100 career walks when she was issued a free pass in the third inning of the April 5 win over Toledo ... With three walks this past weekend, Rager moved into third in league history and became the program's all-time career walk leader at 115 ... Her 115 career walks also rank 16th among all active NCAA Division I players ... With her seven walks last weekend, Jennifer Gilbert also broke into the top 10 on the league's career chart at 94.
► WINNING IN THE CIRCLE: Sophomore Kelsey Schifferdecker enters the MAC tournament tied for eighth in program history with 30 career pitching victories, while sophomore Nicole Steinbach is not far behind, ranking 11th with 28 career wins in a Ball State uniform ... Elizabeth Milian (2007-10) is the program's all-time wins leader at 85 ... Steinbach also enters the tournament tied for second in BSU annals with six career saves.
► Ball State posted a 3-0 win at then-No. 3 Arizona State March 2, marking the highest-ranked opponent the Cardinals have defeated since a 2-1 victory at then-No. 3 Missouri March 19, 2010.
► The Ball State softball team placed a program-record five players on the All-MAC First Team with Jennifer Gilbert, Taylor Rager, senior third baseman Audrey Bickel, Briana Evans and sophomore designated player Sammi Cowger being named to the squad ... In addition, Ball State led the league with eight total honors this season as Nicole Steinbach was named to the All-MAC Second Team, Gilbert was named MAC Player of the Year and Tyra Perry was named MAC Coach of the Year.
► Sammi Cowger was named to the All-MAC First Team after posting a .343 (12-for-25) batting average in league play ... She blasted her first career home run in Ball State's 15-2 (5 inn.) win over Akron (April 18) and also had a pair of doubles in league action ... Cowger was also sixth in MAC-only contest with a .478 on base percentage, having been walked and hit by a pitch five times each.
► Of Briana Evans' 57 hits this season, 33 have been either infield hits or bunt singles ... Evans is also tied for 11th in the MAC with 11 stolen bases this season.
► Briana Evans leads the league with five triples this season, with all five coming in BSU victories ... Her first triple came in a 7-1 win over Morehead State (Feb. 22) ... Her second came in a 12-0 (5 inn.) win over Alabama A&M (March 14) ... She posted triples in back-to-back games versus North Dakota State (6-4) and UMKC (8-0, 5 inn.) March 22 ...

► After serving mainly as a pinch hitter/runner last season, sophomore Emily Dabkowski has stepped nicely into the starting role at second base for the Cardinals in 2014 ... She has reached base safely in 41 of Ball State's 49 games and put together a career-best 10-game hitting streak starting versus No. 3 Arizona State (March 2) and ending following a single versus No. 23 Auburn (March 15).
► Emily Dabkowski drove in what proved to be the game-winning run versus No. 3 Arizona State (March 2) with a two-out RBI single through the left side in the top of the seventh ... She also showed a flair for the dramatic versus Murray State (Feb. 22), blasting an eighth inning walk-off two-run homer to give BSU the 5-3 victory ... In BSU's 7-4 win at Northern Illinois (April 11), Dabkowski blasted her first career grand slam with two outs in the seventh to drive in what proved to be the game-winning run ... Dabkowski added another game-winning home run at Indiana (April 16), blasting a three-run shot with one out in the seventh.
► Emily Dabkowski and Jennifer Gilbert are tied for first on the team by helping account for 13 game-winning runs each ... Dabkowski has scored the winning run eight times and added five game-winning RBI ... Gilbert has driven in 10 game-winning RBI and scored six game-winning runs (three of which were on her own home runs and are factored out) ... Six of Gilbert's MAC-leading 19 home runs this season have produced game-winning RBI, while three of Dabkowski's six home runs have provided game-winning runs.
► Lauren Schroeder blasted a three-run, pinch-hit home run with two outs in the third inning of the April 5 win over Toledo ... It was her eighth career home run and fourth career three-run blast ... Of her eight career home runs, five have been pinch-hit bombs, including a walk-off grand slam to cap last season's run rule of Butler (April 9, 2013).
► Uniform Watch 2014: Ball State has a 12-3 record in its white uniform, a 15-9 mark in its black uniform, a 5-4 ledger in its grey uniform and a 0-1 mark in its red tops this season.

1) The 130X will fly in a smaller space.
2) The 130X will be safer around people.
3) The 130X may be more crash resistant (remains to be seen).
4) I already have a heli I like in the 300X size class that does great 3D (Gaui 200FES - wish the 300X was around when I built that!)
5) I'm sick of Walkera (V120D02) and I want to get down to a single TX
The 130 won't be safe around people
The MCPX can draw blood if it hits your hands
130X is larger and more powerful!
Sure part of that is the skill of the pilot, but even more has to do with the stupidity of the people. Which seems to have no limit sometimes.
C'mon, there are idiots out there that can find a way to get hurt with an mcX floating around in a big room.

I've been hit in the arm with a Walkera V120D02 and it wasn't bad at all... left a little welt but didn't break the skin. My Gaui 200 is a buzz saw by comparison and I don't want to find out how far to the bone it would cut.
I'm comfortable flying the 130X class close in but the 300X class I keep farther away. It's funny that makes the smaller heli easier to see sometimes.
Don't get me wrong. The concept of the 130X is a great one.
Having a 3D capable machine in that size is excellent, and there is certainly a market for the product.
So far I can agree that it will fly in smaller spaces, and it will likely be quieter than the 300X. The rest has all been subjective.
I just think that Blade, or HH, or E-flite, or whatever, has missed on the pricepoint.
The value for dollar (taking out any emotion, or what it will mean to one person) is just not there.
It should have been priced closer to the mCPx.
For the people where this bird fits you personally... Fantastic! Whether that be because of the space that is available, the noise, other helis you own etc...
You're part of the target market for this item.
It may not appeal to everyone but to some, certainly.
Of course, the way to fix that is have it hit the market before the 300X. So that all of the people that have to have "the latest thing" will buy it as soon as it hits the shelves, but those people will buy the next thing, and the next thing as well.

In a worse case accident with spinning knives heading toward your face, you don't think 5 times the mass makes an objective difference in safety?
Regarding the value... be happy the early adopters fund the R&D for these great machines. The price will drop... and quickly if you are right and it is priced too high for the market.
I come from the perspective of a very happy 120SR owner and have for some time wondered when (not if) Blade would come out wih a cp version and now here it is... do I have to say anything more? Well... at least one more thing: I currently practice Cp with my only cp (a 450 as you can see under my avatar) and my flight sim, so though this is smaller a will be much "squirrely" than my flybarred 450, I am more than happy to see this model and will buy it at some point after my next heli (which will be a T-Rex 550E as I have already decided). I have always felt a need for a micro CP, and this will fot the bill for me. (Steps down from soap box)
However, what I think doesn't really matter. Almost every new model is priced high because there's a group of people who really want it and can afford it (and are willing to put up with teething problems and poor spares support for the first few months). After a year or so the competitors appear and price comes down and those who felt it was too expensive buy theirs. Horizon have extracted the maximum profit from the first batch AND the second batch AND they've minimised the supply problems that would have occured if both groups of people had wanted to buy the heli on day 1 (and spares on day 2)
I was in that first group for the mCP-X (I got the first one in our LHS, a few months before there was enough stock for the shop owner to have his own!) and don't really care that the current version is significantly better and a bit cheaper, because I've had a lot of fun with it over the last year.
The logic you provided would also say that the only Blade heli that should ever be flown is a Scout CX. At 17 grams it would be capable of the least amount of "facial damage". Or ideally, no RC helis should ever be flown because of the risk of personal injury.
Personally, I fly RC helis, not into my face mind you, and have made the decision that I am willing to accept the risk that entails. I also ride a motorcycle, and drive a drag car. Both of those activities present a possible risk, but are ones that I have chosen to accept. Of course, I wear a helmet while riding my bike, and while at the track, and I have an 8 point roll cage welded into the car to help mitigate some risk, but I am not convinced that I require any personal protective equipment to fly RC helis.

Now whether you value that with $$$ is subjective and up to you. Some people value great 3D performance in something small they can comfortably fly close in. Some people don't.
I never said anything about risk-free helis. Everything in life has some risk. Go ahead and take the risks you want. Fly whatever helis you want.
If the 130X can perform like a big heli but only weigh 100g then I will pay a premium.
The MCPX is crashable but there is a reason there are so many mods. Stock it doesn't fly like a 450X. Don't get me started on my Walkera V120 experiences.

The Walkera 120 CP line is very popular and essentially has the market cornered. No reason for Blade not to fire back with some competition. I'm also digging the size. I love my Genius CP, but I fly in a 2 court gym and it gets very small very quickly. Learning 3D on something so small presents it's own challenges. A 120/130 size heli is much more visible. I'm also limited to 6oz where I fly, anything much bigger than this is to heavy. The Walkera 120s have shown that a shaft tail can work very well in this size, so you don't have another motor to burn out. It seems that all the sub micros with tail motors always need some sort of tail upgrade, whether it's a stronger motor, extended boom, whatever. A driven tail doesn't have that problem. If this heli is as durable as the MCPx and 120SR, and the V120D02S, it'll probably be worth every penny.

The Vikings continued to cruise through the second half of the season with a sweep against North Tahoe at home Tuesday.
In their final meeting of the season against the Lakers, the Vikings set a blistering pace for a 72-39 boys' win and a 50-34 girls' win.
The South Tahoe boys set the pace in the first quarter, outscoring the Lakers 15-4. North Tahoe (8-12, 2-5) recovered to outscore the Vikings 17-12 in the second quarter, which shaved the lead to 27-21 by the half.
But South Tahoe (11-9, 5-1) took complete control after the break, outscoring the Lakers 22-4 in the third quarter to pull away.
"We did a great job until halftime. The second half we just went cold," said North Tahoe coach Frank Wright.
John Espiritu led the Vikings with 18 points in 17 minutes of playing time, and went 3-for-5 on 3-point attempts.
Cale Backinger had 15 points. Brandon Cramer had 10, and John Cefalu had eight. Kyante Wilson led the Vikings with seven rebounds.
The lady Vikings took an early lead and continued to inch ahead of North Tahoe (8-10, 2-5) through the game. South Tahoe (10-10, 5-1) had a 12-8 lead after the first quarter, 26-18 at the half and 35-27 at the end of three quarters.
Brooke King scored 12 points to lead the Vikings, but the girls spread the points around. Mel Grady had 10 points and four rebounds. Hannah Neiger had nine rebounds to go with her 10 points. Grace Bronken had seven rebounds. Bailey David had six rebounds. Alisa Caro had six points and two rebounds.
"Everyone saw a lot of action in the North Tahoe game," girls coach Mike Neiger said. "Mel hit some nice outside shots, and we had another balanced attack."
UP NEXT: South Tahoe will travel to Incline on Friday as regular season play winds down. The girls play Incline (11-12, 3-3) at 6 p.m. The boys take on the Highlanders (10-11, 2-4) at 7 p.m. The Vikings will wrap up regular season play next week with home games against Truckee on Feb. 5, Sparks on Feb. 8, and an away game at Whittell on Saturday, Feb. 9.
South Tahoe 15 12 22 23 - 72
North Tahoe 4 17 4 14 - 39
South Tahoe 12 14 9 15 - 50
North Tahoe 8 10 9 7 - 34

A day after Apple announced the
iPhone, Cisco Systems quickly filed a lawsuit
against Apple, claiming that the computer company infringed on its
trademark. True enough, Cisco's consumer arm Linksys had released a product
called the iPhone earlier than Apple, and the trademark name
"iPhone" had been owned by Cisco for several years already. Despite
all this, Apple decided to launch its mobile communications device under the
iPhone name anyway -- a move declared as extremely bold by many analysts.
In a report, Cisco mentioned that Apple had repeatedly approached it for
permission to use the iPhone name, but no solid agreement had ever come to
realization. Now, however, it could be possible
that both companies will be allowed to use the iPhone name -- and so would
everyone else, says a trademark expert.
According to Brian Banner, a seasoned attorney dealing with intellectual
property and trademarks at Rothwell Figg, the "iPhone" name may
actually be generic enough that a judge will rule it usable by both Apple and
Cisco. The ruling will be under condition however, that a company name be
attached to the term "iPhone," like "Apple iPhone" or
"Cisco iPhone." Banner mentioned that the term may also be deemed
generic enough to use by any company.
"They must have figured the reward would be greater than the risk. They
probably did a lot of homework before calling it the iPhone and figured that
the registration Cisco has is not a serious impediment," says Banner. But
this is definitely not what Cisco thinks. Cisco representatives indicated that
it will vigorously defend what it owns. Apple on the other hand disagrees with
Cisco. "We believe that Cisco's U.S. trademark is tenuous at best,"
said Apple representative Katie Cotton. "We are the first company to use
the iPhone name for a cell phone and we're confident we will prevail."

The trial of a man accused of child abuse in Leflore County is expected to begin next month.
James Haskin was arrested on nine counts of child neglect and three counts of child abuse.
His trial was set to begin this week, but has been pushed back. According to the LeFlore County clerk, Haskin's trial is now set to begin on Oct. 29.
The defense filed a motion to move the trial date.
Authorities in Leflore County said this was one of the worst child abuse cases they have ever seen.
Haskin's ex-wife, Lucinda Haskin, was also charged with nine counts of child neglect and three counts of enabling child sexual abuse.

Top-ranked Academic Magnet avoided falling off its 2A girls soccer perch Thursday night with a 3-2 win over No. 2 Bishop England.
Staying on top is Anna Merriman's coaching philosophy. After the game, the Raptors coach huddled her players and told them what the program needs to accomplish to be called a "legacy team."
"A legacy team doesn't get rattled," she said. "A legacy team doesn't get taken out of their game. A legacy team doesn't leave anything on the field."
When the girls left the field, Merriman clarified the often repeated phrase. "That's what we want to be," she said. "I'm telling the girls that I don't want to be like an overnight phenom that lasts for a week and then fall off. I don't even want to last for a season and then fall off. I want to be a team that teams fear."
Academic Magnet has beaten its Daniel Island rival eight consecutive times. That includes being the grim reaper of the Bishops' state playoff hopes each of the past three seasons.
Bishop England enjoyed a 1-0 lead after Regan Van Metre found the back of the net in the eighth minute, started by a well-placed corner kick from Taylor Lott.
Bishops coach Dave Snyder said they were close to tacking on another goal. "We did not make a major change after the first goal and actually generated a great opportunity at a second goal shortly thereafter," he said. "Only a great save by their keeper prevented them from being down 2-0."
Thirteen minutes after Bishop England's score, Raptors' Jesse Dooley scored after beating three defenders and lacing a shot over diving goalkeeper Julianne Dahlman.
"There was a lack of urgency in the first 10 minutes for us," Merriman said. "We were passing the ball beautifully, but we weren't looking to penetrate and get inside."
The Raptors controlled the time of possession for most of the game. Passing has been a point of emphasis for Academic Magnet this season, and through solid passing, the Raptors were able to tire out chasing Bishop England players.
Standout Callie Peurifoy scored twice in three minutes just before halftime to take a 3-1 lead.
"The prettiest part of our game was the last 20 minutes of the first half. We really pushed the issue after they got that first goal," Merriman said. "That woke us up a little bit."
The 3-1 advantage held for more than 20 minutes, before Bishop England narrowed its deficit following a goal by MacKenzi Mazur. But, the Bishops could get no closer.
"We had periods of solid play throughout the night," Snyder said. "Unfortunately, these were mixed with moments where our communications and coverage broke down. The emotional dagger came on the breakaway goal where it appeared that the player was offsides. My younger players had trouble setting that aside and lost a bit of focus."
Merriman said she would've liked to add to the scoring distance between the rivals after intermission.
"I would've liked to put another goal in the second half," Merriman said, "but overall, I told the girls I wasn't doing backflips, but I wasn't displeased either."
Academic Magnet and Bishop England play again April 18. "Anna has a great team and we respect them," Snyder said. "That said, we are not prepared to concede the outcome of the next game with Academic Magnet or the season."

Ross Rogers disrupted breakaways, corner kicks and anything Academic Magnet kicked into the Bishop England boys soccer team's goalkeeper box, Thursday night in a game between the top two 2A programs in the state.
But, in the end, No. 1 Academic Magnet prevailed in penalty kick fashion, winning the one-on-one overtime 7-6 after playing to a 2-2 time.
"Ross really is the player of the game," Battling Bishops coach Ed Khouri said of his senior goalie. "He came up with some huge saves that kept us in the game."
Rogers had 15 saves, including a diving one-armed stop to the Raptors' final shot in regulation. Academic Magnet sprayed shots all night and was able to keep the ball on the host team's end of the field with precision passing and a host of capable forwards.
Academic Magnet had 18 shots on goal, contrasted to Bishop England's 10 attempts. Raptor goalkeeper Brady Allardice had four saves in regulation.
The Bishops took an early lead in the 18th minute when captains Mateo Gomez and Drew Costa connected on a breakaway. Gomez laced the ball through a couple Academic Magnet defenders and Costa flipped the ball over a charging Allardice.
But, the Raptors were quick to equalize and eventually take the lead. Their first was scored about a minute later, aided by a Bishop England defensive miscue. Academic Magnet's Jonathan Glenn missed a shot that deflected off the right post. A Bishops defender tried to clear the ball but did so back toward the middle of the box. Nick Nybo found the back of the net.
Then, in the 28th minute, Ethan Hanson scored when a Bishops defender mishit the ball attempting to clear a Raptor corner kick.
"We gave them two easy goals," Khouri said. "Academic Magnet is a good team, and they're going to be coming at you at the while."
The 2-1 advantage held through halftime, until freshman Joel Bunting scored in the 56th minute, assisted by Matthew Mellin. Mellin's shot was deflected high in the air, and Bunting booted it into the net for the equalizer.
Khouri said he liked his team's resolve after facing a deficit for nearly half the game. "Joel scored a nice goal to bring us back and give us that mental edge," he said. "It rejuvenated us."
Two 5-minute overtime periods were completed without any scoring, so the game advanced to penalty kicks. Bishop England scored its first three attempts and led 3-1. The Bishops would win with a goal or by stopping a Raptors' shot.
Bishop England missed its next three tries, and Academic Magnet connected on two of its next three to tie the penalty kick score at 3.
The rivals played even until the 11th round when Raptors' Buckley McCall scored after a Bishops miss to end the game.
"If we don't stay focused in what we do, that is what happens," Khouri said. "After three PKs, I thought we would have won that. Very seldom do you have three PKs leading, and then you lose."
Khouri said he was confident heading into penalty kicks. "We practice them. That is more or less our bread and butter over the years," he said. "We've won a lot of championships and games with penalty kicks."
Academic Magnet coach Jason Hamil did not return a request for comment Friday.

The feds have put off a ruling on rear-view cameras for cars. Should new cars have a camera?
Much of the problem is that people don't realize how much we pay in taxes. Check on your gas tax and your phone tax and fees...if you just take the time to look, you will see how government is too big!
We cannot afford it anymore!
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
mtlhed Another one of those hidden taxes is in Gasoline prices. The price of gas not only includes the direct tax of 46 cents per gallon for state and federal taxes, but it also includes the extra cost added to the price we pay caused by all the government regulations placed on the industry which drives up the price of gasoline. Other stupid things like banks and other companies being required to notify their customers of their privacy policy every year. It is all government mandated and the cost is passed on to the consumer because the expense is figured into the cost of a product or service. All hidden cost caused by government mandates.

Bug, I never expected you to understand it anyways. If the gov't says, "Hey, we're going to start a new tax on the sale of cars," the peasants, err I mean people would be in an uproar. But if they just say "For your own good, we now mandate cameras," a good percentage of the population (liberals)say, "Gee, ok, my all knowing all wise big brother, if you really think it's best." So the price goes up and therefore the sales tax goes up and therefore....."a hidden tax." Libs can't understand this for some reason, but conservatives see it plain as day. It happens all the time, not just with cars.

Kozy I brought the tax issue up. I think the question was about Government thinking of mandating review cameras in vehicles. I say every government mandate is just a hidden tax, as it causes the cost of the product to increase. Therefore the consumer is forced to pay a higher price than they would of just because of government mandates something. I say it is just a hidden tax. There are many things that we have to pay extra for because of government mandates. Who pays in the end for these new government laws? We the people.

Some taxing is good and many good things have happened through the years...and what does that have to do with the question?
If you are saying that government and taxes have come up with most improvements then you are wrong. Companies through our free enterprise system is the real hero.

Wrap your head around this and tell me where the hidden tax is.

Some mandates actually reduce costs, Seat belts,safety glass, air bagsetc.
The main thing hurting the poor is low wages.Trying to pay 2013 prices with 2000 wages .Boght a bag of sugar yesterday.Oh good the price didn't increase ,There was only 4# of product.Stupid customer takes it up the butt again.

I realize this is not something that you seem to easily be able to wrap your head around ladybug. But every time the government mandates something it causes the cost of that product or service to increase. Every regulation government puts on businesses results in raises to the cost of their products. Had government not put the regulations on, the product would have been less expensive. So who causes inflation?? Inflation is the poor man's enemy and it is partially created by government regulations. No you are not paying extra directly to the government that is why it is called hidden. But the increased cost is a result of government mandates.

Who pays the sales tax ?
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
For one thing, an increase in sales price due to all the dudads that big brother says we need for our own good, equates to increased sales tax. So it's more expensive for people who have brains enough to drive a car without bumping into everything, yet now have no choice in the matter; and the gov't gets more sales tax due to the overall increase in cost.

Explain to me why it would be a hidden tax rather than an additional cost to the consumer.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
They should have them only if the one buying the car wants to pay for one. Forcing companies to put extras on vehicles only drives up the cost of the vehicle. If government forces them to put them on it will just be yet another one of those hidden taxes brought about by a government regulation.

NIAGARA FALLS – Car burglars made their return to the downtown area on New Year's Eve, breaking into multiple vehicles in at least three different locations, city police said.
In each instance, a front passenger side window was smashed out to permit entry to the vehicle, according to reports. Items taken included global positioning systems and other electronics, car stereos, personal effects and cash. In all, well over $1,000 worth of property was reported stolen.
Police said that between 5 p.m. Monday and 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, cars were broken into in parking lots at First and Niagara streets, at the Days Inn motel on Main Street, and in the 400 blocks of Third and Main streets. The victims were from Lockport, Buffalo, Penfield, Belmont and New Jersey, police said.
Police have added patrols downtown in recent months after a spate of such incidents since summertime. Many of the break-ins have targeted tourists and other visitors to the downtown area.

Phonearena's reviews are faaaar better and unbiased than others. I once saw a c-net review of the Lumia 1020 (by Molly, I guess. Not sure about her name.)
At the end of the review, she said the Apple iphone 5 had the best camera in any smartphone!!
(And I was like, Oh man, I don't want to live in this planet anymore...)

Make sure Compatibility Mode is turned off. F12 and click where it says "IE 10 Comparability Mode" click the drop down option for "IE 10".
I'm unable to click the "thumbs up" and "reply" on my Lumia 925 in IE.
Why PA refuses to serve the largest technological user base on the planet astounds me

Can you define these popular missing words?
A truly saddening development of modern media. Programming which lacks any redeeming social, intellectual or moral value but is nonetheless poigniant in a macabre way due to the reflection it offers of a rapidly declining western culture. Primarily watched by mindless, brainwashed Americans who are long since bereft of any intelligent thought or recognizable human values (greed and self-interest notwithstanding).
Reality TV is one of the major reasons I decided to stop watching television entirely. That, and the fact that every news station in the country is owned by a very small number of rich white males who have absolutely no vested interest whatsoever in educating the public, offering useful information, or doing anything other than making more money than any human being could possibly have practical use for over several lifetimes.
dari Erik Jacobson Jumat, 20 Mei 2005
possibly the worst advent in television since pro wrestling. Basically an excuse for Fox TV to only have to spend $30,000 dollars on random street folk and a handycam, so they can tape for twelve hours and get ridiculously high ratings, turning a large profit in the process-originated with shows like COPS, and Candid Camera, and eventually degraded itself to shit like "The Simple Life," "Joe Millionare," and most recently and disgustingly, "The Swan"
"Rupert Murdoch is a walking, talking asshole who uses human degradation to add to his pile of blood-money."

Complete and utter crap.
I hate reality TV, because it is complete and utter crap.
dari Nik Gilmore Senin, 01 November 2004
Overhyped, overrated television shows which are in no way, shape, or form, real.
Survivor was the catalyst which has spawned all the crap reality TV show that you now see on nearly every channel on cable and satellite.

NEW WASHINGTON The more things change, the more the last names stay the same.
Buckeye Central is making its 10th appearance at the state volleyball tournament and its first since 2008.
And as much as the team has changed players in four years, a scan of the roster would make one do a double-take.
Six girls on this year's regional championship team had sisters that were on Buckeye Central's last state team: Sammi Marcum, Brooke Karl, Kilee Kimmel, Emily Weithman, Sierra Hanes and Hailey Hildebrand all had sisters on the Buckettes team that season.
Buckeye Central coach Bill Bonham said that kind of lineage has aided to the Buckettes' tradition of success.
"There's no doubt. A lot of these girls had sisters involved or a lot of them were fans," Bonham said. "A lot of these kids had a parent that played volleyball or basketball. We have Sammi Marcum's mom and Brooke Karl's mom, who won a state title in basketball in 1985."
Nancy Ackerman, who helmed the team from 1988 to 2002 and won BC's two state volleyball titles, said the success is contagious.
"I think the school and environment is that way," Ackerman said. "Maybe the family ties grow up with friends that (play volleyball) and have fun with what they're doing. It's kind of a contagious thing."
For Marcum, who started playing in a team atmosphere in the fourth grade, there's no better sport out there than volleyball.
"I grew up around it. My friends would play volleyball at recess. It's my favorite sport," Marcum said. "But I think being around it made it less obligating."
She said making it to the state tourney fulfills a dream for her.
"I feel absolutely amazing," Marcum said. "Ever since I was little and watching the high school varsity play, I've always strived to be like them and wanted to play on that varsity team and to get to where they were at."
She was at the 2008 tourney appearance for the Buckettes because her sister, Trenna, was an outside hitter for the team that lost to Jackson Center in the Division IV semifinal.
"It was really loud and it was one of the most intense games that I've watched," Sammi said. "That team had a few issues that they had to fight through in the course of the game."
One of those issues was Jordan Kimmel getting injured early in the first game against Jackson Center.
The now-junior varsity coach for the Buckettes was a senior outside hitter in 2008. She sprained her ankle in the first game, came back late in the second game and was limited to only playing the front row in third game.
Jordan said she hasn't had to say much about the state tournament to Kilee.
"I haven't voiced too much. She was around enough so she knows how I felt about everything and how exciting it is," Jordan said. "It's definitely just as exciting (as it was then) and it's still very exciting (as a coach)."
The Kimmel sisters had two older sisters, Ashley and Whitney, who played on previous teams. Ashley played on the 2000 and 2001 teams that went to state.
Kilee said Jordan has passed on some sage advice.
"She's definitely been like, 'it's something you'll enjoy it forever,'" Kilee said. "It goes so fast, so enjoy every second of it."
She said she's enjoyed being coached by Jordan.
"It's good. I know our parents were worried about it. We've been best friends since we've lived together longer than with my other sisters," Kilee said. "Whenever she tells me something, I take it for the best and that it's something I need to fix."
Kilee and Karl went to the state tournament every year from third through eighth grade to watch the competition down there.
"We didn't always know someone down there. Our last year was eighth grade because we got into high school and had basketball starting," Karl said. "(Kilee's) mom said (in eighth grade) this will be our last year, but it doesn't have to be. She said we could come back whenever we wanted to."
Kilee said she still thinks about that prophetic statement.
"Before (high school), we went down there every year. Sitting there watching those teams, I thought it would be pretty awesome," Kilee said. "(My mom) saying that still sticks with me to this day. We definitely get the chills thinking about it."
Karl's sister Tara was a setter on the 2008 team.
"She just said 'Live it up' and it's some of her best memories in high school," Brooke said.
The younger Karl said it's nothing in the water in New Washington.
"I always played with my mom and my sister. At Buckeye Central, it's in the genes," Brooke said. "All my family has played. My mom (Traci Karl) coached JV here for a while. It's such a tradition here. It's something everyone wants to be a part of."
Weithman, whose sister Morgan was a freshman on the team, said volleyball is just what you do if you're a girl growing up in the district.
"Most girls do. I don't know why. Everyone wants to be a part of the tradition," said Emily, who is a niece of Ackerman. "I started playing in fourth grade. I had been around it for a while because I was the manager for Morgan's teams."
Morgan Weithman and Taylor Hanes, Sierra's sister, were freshmen that season and kept stats at the state tournament since they weren't on the varsity roster at the time.
"She didn't really play but she said to had have fun and to live it up because it doesn't happen that often," Sierra said of Taylor's advice.
It's the same advice that Hildebrand was given by her sister, Shelbi Daniel, who was the team's right side hitter.
"She just told me it's a really great experience pretty much," Hailey said.
But the blood lines don't end with these girls.
"Steph Sheibley was on that team in 1993 that had perfect season. She's a teacher here and she already has her daughter in the elementary program. There's two more Heydingers coming. There's another Karl coming. Another Agin," Bonham said. "Nancy Ackerman has two daughters of her own and a niece in the St. Bernard's program. She's helping develop our kids over in the elementary."
So stories like Kilee's aren't unusual.
"I have three older sisters and I've been playing since I could," Kilee said. "It's definitely a great tradition here that people want to be a part of it. Since I grew up with it, it was automatic that I was going to play volleyball."
Hailey was in sixth grade then and remembers making her sister a special shirt for the state tournament, which she has fond memories of.
"It was pretty huge for me and I was excited," Hailey said.
That's the kind of thing that Bonham expects when he looks into the stands at the Nutter Center at Wright State University.
"There will be a lot of little kids down there, watching, waiting for the next generation," he said.

On the eve of today's GOP 1st District primary runoff, Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch released an internal poll that indicated she would be competitive with either Republican candidate in the May 7 election.
The Lake Research Partners survey shows Colbert Busch ahead of former Gov. Mark Sanford by 47 percent to 44 percent and leading former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic by 48-39.
The poll of 500 voters was conducted a week ago and had a 4.4 percent margin of error.
Colbert Busch, a political newcomer, has shown solid fundraising ability, but she is still considered an underdog because a Democrat hasn't won the 1st Congressional District since 1980.

–– Last of a three-part series ––
If nature runs its slow course, West Valley's hilltop plateau where nuclear wastes are stockpiled could erode in as soon as 150 years.
Or, some fear that fueled by dramatic climatic events, the plateau could wash away in torrential downpours like the one that hit nearby Gowanda four summers ago.
Either way, radioactive material would wash through several feeder streams into Cattaraugus Creek and then into Lake Erie, the Niagara River and on into Lake Ontario, fouling the drinking water for millions of people in Western New York and southern Ontario.
More than 40 years after the nation's only commercial effort to reprocess nuclear fuel was closed down, the West Valley nuclear waste site is arguably Western New York's most toxic location. Despite billions of dollars in federal spending – and ambitious efforts to turn highly radioactive waste into something safer and easier to manage – West Valley remains a dangerous place.
Located in northern Cattaraugus County less than 50 miles from Buffalo, West Valley has 275 two-foot-wide stainless steel canisters containing highly radioactive glass – byproducts of a groundbreaking six-year process designed to stabilize liquid nuclear waste. The canisters are stacked in the belly of the main plant behind six-foot-thick protective concrete and glass. Separately, lower-level radioactive waste is buried in two underground storage areas.
Among the highly toxic elements present at the three West Valley sites: cesium, strontium, thorium, uranium and plutonium. The longest lasting radioactive element on site – Thorium-232 – has a half-life of more than 14 billion years.
Federal law says the most-toxic waste – the glass in the steel canisters – must eventually be moved out of West Valley, likely out West. But for now, the West Valley waste has nowhere to go. Federal statutes provide depository space only for high-level nuclear waste used in weapons programs, not byproducts of commercial nuclear energy uses.
"Water, water, water," said Joanne E. Hameister of the West Valley Citizen Task Force, a group closely monitoring the site. "The overarching concern is water. If you think about radioactivity getting into the water intake – I don't care what level it's at – it's going to contaminate all the infrastructure of the water intake, and then it goes into the sewer outflow and into our lakes. Our whole infrastructure could be affected."
How West Valley grew
Most of the most deadly materials are remnants from the 1960s partnership between the private company Nuclear Fuel Services and state and federal governments in a collaborative cutting-edge effort to reprocess spent nuclear fuel. The reprocessing occurred at West Valley from 1966 to 1972 but was closed down following regulatory reform of the nuclear industry. Left behind were 600,000 gallons of liquid, high-level radioactive waste.
In 1980, Congress passed a plan to contain and remove the liquid waste. Since then, 875 spent fuel assemblies have been removed, the toxic liquid waste has been turned into glass, and work has begun to put the 275 stainless steel canisters in a safer place.
Low-level radioactive waste is leaving the site for destinations in Utah and Nevada regularly nowadays – nearly 1 million cubic feet dating back to 1998, about the volume of 11 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Full remediation of the site is estimated to be a $6 billion to $8 billion endeavor.
Bryan C. Bower, director of the project for the U.S. Department of Energy, said the risk is ameliorated so long as the site is maintained and remains under constant government watch. "Our job is to make sure, while we're here, that catastrophic release never occurs," said Bower, acknowledging that some citizens may be "disappointed at the pace" of efforts to clean up the site.
Until the government finds a place to send the most toxic waste, it plans to build better storage at West Valley.
Starting in 2015, as part of the site's decommissioning process, the high-level waste canisters will, one by one, be robotically shifted into a nearby building. There, they will be packed five at a time inside 55 stainless steel-covered, two-foot-thick concrete cask lined with carbon steel for permanent storage. That will take three years.
Then the 55 concrete casks, which are being designed now, will be moved onto an above-ground, 110-by-144-foot concrete pad that is three feet thick at West Valley. Bower said the casks are licensed for 50 years and are impervious to external environmental conditions.
Bower noted similarly designed casks performed flawlessly in Japan during the 2011 earthquake there that resulted in the release of radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor.
West Valley's casks, Bower said, would remain on the concrete pad until a permanent federal repository is established, then they will be transported, likely by rail, somewhere out West, to be buried a mile or so underground.
"You never have to touch it again, never have to open it again," he said.
The strontium plume
When activists paint the dangers of keeping high-level waste in West Valley, they point to the strontium plume.
Sometime between the late 1960s and early 1970s, radioactive strontium escaped from the nuclear fuel-reprocessing site and started slowly seeping toward the water table. Strontium is dangerous. If ingested, it deposits itself in bone and bone marrow. It is linked to bone cancer, cancer of the soft tissue near the bone and leukemia, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
"There's this giant dragon just there, and it's very alive," said Judith Einach, a member of the Coalition on West Valley Wastes.
The plume is slow-moving. So far, it hasn't gone much beyond the building it leaked from. Since 1995, federal managers have been trying to stop the plume. After a pair of marginally successful experimental ventures, in 2010 they built a sophisticated 860-foot-long underground barrier "wall" that is three feet wide and up to 30 feet deep in places.
The wall has seemed to quell that tide for now, Bower said. Filters in the underground wall at the West Valley site catch the strontium and keep nearly all of it from entering the groundwater.
The other waste
The other waste stored at West Valley – a pair of underground, low-level waste disposal areas and buried high-level tanks on site – poses a tough choice, Bower said. Environmental activists want them exhumed and removed from West Valley. Bower said the long-term risks of keeping that material on site, which could threaten the local area, must be weighed against the costs and risks of transporting it to places off-site, which could threaten the workers who excavate it and those who could come in contact with it during transport and during its eventual re-deposit where ever that might be.
Said Bower: "It's about weighing the risks. There's nothing that's risk-free."

Sporting the shocker sign + (Ambitious) Nose mining = Shocker Pick. The Shocker Pick is not as easy as the Birdie Pick to master but can be done right with a little practice. With either hand, make the shocker sign. Put your middle and pointer finger up your nose, one in each nostril. Then put your pinkie in your mouth. It's as easy as that. The Shocker Pick is also known as "2 in the boogs, 1 in the loogs".
Always wash your hands before Shocker Pickin'... It's common sense hygiene.

For all the celebration that followed Saturday's 35-34 win over Baldwin-Wallace, Heidelberg's coaching staff and players weren't able truly to relax.
That's because despite going 9-1 and despite having its only loss against No. 1-ranked Mount Union, the Student Princes weren't guaranteed a postseason spot.
As a result, when the players and coaches gathered at Frost Lecture Hall to watch the Division III postseason selection show, there were plenty of worried faces.
Article Photos
Heidelberg football players Adam Schwieterman (from left), Quentin Rembert, Chris Saltman and Tyler Johnson celebrate the NCAA playoffs selection.
"There's no guarantees unless you're an automatic qualifier," Heidelberg coach Mike Hallett said. "Our conference, that's been one team (Mount Union) for the better part of a quarter of a century, so it's a waiting game, and we had to wait all day."
But for Heidelberg, it was worth the wait.
The Student Princes celebrated with each other for the second time in as many days after it was announced via television that Heidelberg would host Wittenberg at noon Saturday in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.
The game, which will be played at Frost-Kalnow Stadium, marks Heidelberg's first playoff appearance since 1972, when the program won the Stagg Bowl.
"It's been a long time coming," said Heidelberg defensive back Justin Suddeth.
Has it ever. Forty years, eight U.S. presidents, and a 36-game losing streak all occurred during Heidelberg's playoff drought.
The players were aware of the time between playoff appearances.
"Man, it feels amazing," said linebacker Chadd Williamson, also a senior. "It all started with belief in the coaches. I'm getting emotional, man. It's a privilege, a blessing (to make the playoffs)."
It's new to Heidelberg, but postseason play isn't necessarily new to the players. Fullback Aaron Kapelka, a Hopewell-Loudon graduate, and halfback Cartel Brooks, a Galion grad, each had playoff experience in high school.
"It's a whole 'nother level here in college, though, it's completely different," Kapelka said.
Galion made the playoffs in Brooks' senior year, and went one game and out. That's something Brooks doesn't want to repeat.
"It does feel good to be in the playoffs again," he said. "Hopefully I'll learn from that.
"We're a good team," Brooks said. "If we play to our potential, it should be no problem."
So Heidelberg gets Wittenberg, a program that was a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference until 1989. Heidelberg and Wittenberg met 60 times, with their last meeting coming in 2001. Wittenberg went 42-18 in those games.
As for 2012, Wittenberg is 9-1. Its one loss, to Wabash, came by just three points.
"We've seen them on film," Suddeth said. "We know what they're capable of."
Williamson said Heidelberg already is done congratulating itself.
"That passed when we saw our name (in the bracket)," he said. "It's all to business now."
For sophomore quarterback Mike Mees, it's nice to be able to tackle that business in Tiffin.
"We get to host an NCAA playoff game," Mees said. "That's something very special."
The game will be at noon Saturday. But it isn't a normal home game, or even a home setting. Heidelberg hasn't played a game at Frost-Kalnow Stadium since 2009, when it moved to Mayer Field for its final two home games.
"I think only 10 kids on our roster actually played games down there, so for the majority of the kids this will be a new experience," Hallett said. "Much like a road game, you have to deal with your surroundings. The good news is I'm hopeful we're going to be able to get a couple of days of practice down there and have a higher comfort level than maybe Wittenberg's gonna have, with one Friday practice."
But for offensive lineman Quentin Rembert, where Heidelberg's playing isn't as important as making the postseason, and making a statement.
"Once you've been in a position we were in before, where you know how it feels to lose, you know how it feels for people to schedule you for their homecoming game every year," Rembert said,
"Nobody wants to go back.
"We're only going to get better from this point, and I'm really excited to take things from here."

A young Buffalo man was shot twice while walking in the East Delavan-Grider area Friday night, authorities reported.
Brandon Bibbes, 23, told Northeast District police that he was walking on Schuele Avenue, south of East Delavan Avenue and east of Grider Street, when he was shot in the back and left shoulder at about 9:40 p.m. Friday.
Following the shooting, a passerby drove him to ECMC, where he was listed in fair condition in Erie County Medical Center on Saturday.
Several 911 callers reported hearing about five shots fired, and three bullet fragments were recovered in the street. Police believe a red Trailblazer may have been involved in the shooting.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call or text the police confidential TIP-CALL line at 847-2255 or submit information at bpdny.org.

Gov. Nikki Haley breezed into Charleston for a deep-pocketed fundraiser to help Mark Sanford's run for Congress, giving the Republican a much-needed late financial boost.
Haley declined to talk with the media Wednesday night on why she was helping Sanford financially, going straight from her traveling vehicle into the South Battery home of luxury car seller Tommy Baker.
Set donation amounts for the event ranged from $250 a person to as high as $1,000 or $2,600 per couple, according to one invitation, with the higher donors getting special recognitions.
Sanford likewise opted not to discuss how the Haley appearance was put in motion. "It's good," he said before heading into Baker's fenced and gated property. "I'm just pleased it's happening."
While Haley once considered Sanford a leading political influence, there was a rift that arose out of his much-publicized trip to Argentina that resulted in a record $74,000 ethics fine.
Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer also declined to discuss the specifics of the Haley nod or what the campaign expected to raise from her appearance. But he added it will be "put to good use spreading our message to voters."
The boost comes as Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch are less than a week away from their special election face-off Tuesday.
Stumping, endorsing
Wednesday's events saw most of the attention focused on West Ashley, where both candidates paid morning visits to several small businesses. Colbert Busch mingled with shoppers at the South Windermere Shopping Center, briefly touching on three parts of her platform: creating jobs, getting the nation's fiscal house in order, and being a congresswoman voters can trust.
"This is what it's all about," she told Brannen Daugherty in his consignment store, Worn. "You guys are the ones who create jobs."
She also met George Ward, who recently moved here from Maryland and who vowed to vote for her. "New faces in Congress are what we need," Ward told her.
Sanford visited shops at St. Andrew's Center and also posed for pictures with supporters. He said voters need to realize there is a big philosophical difference between how he and Colbert Busch would approach problems in Washington.
The Haley appearance came at a crucial time for Sanford. Financial support from the national party dried up after it was revealed April 16 that Sanford's ex-wife Jenny had accused him of trespassing at her Sullivan's Island house. Colbert Busch also has raised more money than Sanford since then.
Besides Haley, other Republicans have begun to rally around Sanford in the final days of the campaign. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose political rise coincided with Sanford's, endorsed the former governor Wednesday.
"Mark has a proven track record cutting spending and fighting government expansion," Graham said, "something we sorely need more of in Washington."
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, who had held the 1st District seat until January, also issued a statement saying Sanford "merits support."
"On all the most important issues facing our state and country, from dealing with our dangerous levels of debt, to repealing or resisting the government health care takeover, to standing up for Charleston jobs against the NLRB, First District voters have a stark choice," Scott said. "Mark Sanford is hands down better on all of those issues."
The support closely follows endorsements from U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and his father, former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
The last minute
Some of the 11th-hour dirty tricks that have made South Carolina elections so memorable may be surfacing in the 1st District race.
Published reports contend push polls — which are phone calls disguised as polls that are meant to push voters in a certain direction — are popping up. Wednesday's reports said the influence was an attempt to dissuade voters from backing Colbert Busch. The liberal blog ThinkProgress said multiple individuals in the state reported receiving the phone calls from a company claiming to be polling on the race.
A Sanford spokesman said he knew nothing about such polling attempts.
"We're not concerned," said Colbert Busch's spokesman James Smith. "Elizabeth is focused on talking to the voters about creating jobs, getting our fiscal house in order and electing a representative they can trust."
Meanwhile, the state's political attention will briefly shift to Columbia on Friday where Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will speak at their respective party fundraising dinners.
The 1st District candidates, though, plan to stay in the Lowcountry drumming up last-minute support.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - In just five years Western Reserve has gone from a mediocre program to a state power.
The keys to the transformation are no secret. First is the arrival of Andy Hake who has posted a 50-9 record as coach at the school. Second is Hake's commitment to fielding a strong defensive unit every season.
Western Reserve has become known for a tough, physical stingy defense. Unfortunately for the Devils, they met a team which - at least Saturday night - had a defense which was a bit tougher, a bit more physical and a bit stingier.
Glouster Trimble jumped out to a 14-3 lead after a quarter, limited Reserve to 129 total yards and seven first downs, and held off the Devils 14-10 in a Division VII state semifinal in a battle of 13-0 teams. The Tomcats will meet Maria Stein Marion Local for the state title next Saturday.
"We've been relying on our defense all year," said Trimble coach Phil Faires. "We were getting penetration all night."
Said Hake: "They go really well to the ball. I think that's what it is. They have a lot of passion in going to the ball.
The Tomcat defense held Western Reserve to just 19 yards and two first downs in the opening half as they walked off the Red Devil Stadium turf with a 14-3 halftime lead. Nick Allison, who had thrown for 1,827 yards and 20 touchdowns on the year did not complete a pass in the first half and finished the game just 5 of 19 for 38 yards and three interceptions.
Hake said his team has made a habit of underperforming in the early parts of games.
"We do that in the first half and it bit us in the (behind) this time," Hake said. "We did not come out and play particularly well and then we got going like we always do. It was hard but our kids played very valiantly. I'm just very proud of our kids; they played very, very hard."
Despite very little success offensively, the Devils' defense kept them in the game until the very end. Reserve got within four points late in the third quarter after a questionable decision by Faires. Facing fourth and one from his team's 39, the coach decided to go for it. Jon Timko tackled Jacob Koons for no gain and the Devils took over. Evan Nesbitt then had runs of six and 33 yards, the later for a touchdown.
As the defenses dominated, Western Reserve had one last shot at victory. Getting the ball at his team's 23 with under two minutes and no timeouts remaining, Allison completed passes of nine and 16 yards to Danny Rosati. After an incompletion, Allison aired it out for Joe Falasca down the left sideline but it was intercepted at the 10 by junior cornerback Austin Downs.
Falasca came into the contest with 928 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. Downs, in single coverage on him most of the night, limited him to one catch for 16 yards. Downs also intercepted Allison three times.
"We knew he was the playmaker and if we could shut him down we'd have a good chance," said Downs, who is Faires' nephew.
Downs did more than that, dominating the talented receiver. He was asked if there was ever a time during the game when he lost him.
"There was one time when ... I bit a little and he got me," Downs said. "But I was able to catch up and knock it down. That was the only time he got behind me at all."
Trimble took the opening kickoff and marched 60 yards on six plays before sophomore tailback Justice Jenkins scored on a 12-yard run to make it 7-0. Western Reserve took advantage of a fumbled punt (recovered by Tim Coler) to get possession at the Tomcat 30. The Devils got as far as the 3 before settling for a 25-yard field goal by Parker Clegg.
Trimble immediately answered, moving 61 yards on four plays before Jenkins scored from 16 yards out. Jenkins finished the contest with 89 yards on 15 carries while quarterback Konner Standley had 81 on 22 totes.
"They played well early on," Hake said. "I sure wish we could have that first half back but we can't do that. They've got great players on their team ... 20 (Jenkins) and 42 (fullback Jacob Koons) and their quarterback and 10 (Downs). Credit goes to them. They win tonight."
The Devils were making only their second trip ever to the state semifinal, the last one coming in 2011. Trimble will be making its first trip to the finals and will face the two-time defending champion.
Nesbitt led the Devils with 81 yards on 15 carries. Trimble finished with 219 total yards but just 68 in the second half.
