During our testing, we discovered a few simple secrets to the juiciest, most flavorful pork chops recipe: Choose tender and flavorful bone-in rib loin or center-cut loin chops and brine them to pump up their flavor and lock in their moisture; grill one side over high heat and the other side over moderate heat to allow the chops to cook through without burning the exterior; and apply a quick but flavor-packed spice rub before grilling.

Lorain National Guardsmen sent off to Afghanistan (with video)
LORAIN — Joann Wilson took video as her husband, Michael Wilson, and other Army National Guardsmen from the Lorain armory yesterday as two bus loads drove past well wishers on the way to Cleveland Hopkins Airport.
She knew her husband was going to be in the second bus, so she stood on the side of Fairless Drive and waited for the buses to pass. As the second bus passed, she blew a kiss to her husband with her children standing near her.
Michael Wilson is one of the 100 Ohio Army National Guardsmen of the 837th Engineer Company who has been called up for active duty in Afghanistan. The unit is stationed in South Lorain at the National Guard armory on Grove Avenue. They will train at Fort Bliss, Texas, before going to Afghanistan.
Lorain police escorted the two buses as they drove south on SR 57. They then turned left onto East 42nd Street and passed Lorain High School, before turning right onto Palm Avenue to Fairless Drive, then back on SR 57 toward the Ohio Turnpike.
Family, friends and supporters waved their flags and cheered as they drove by. Some eyes teared up as the soldiers passed by. Vehicles that were stopped honked their horns in support.
Joann Wilson said before the send-off that it hasn't hit her yet, but it will eventually, as her husband leaves her, their sons, Michael Jr., 3, and Avery 1, and their unborn child behind.
"We are proud of all of them (guardsmen) not just Mike," Joann Wilson said. "I hope he comes back in one piece."
U.S. Combat Engineer Justin Cisar, 23, of Lorain, has said that in Afghanistan, the guardsmen will be clearing the roads of improvised explosive devices and making sure the roads are safe from obstructions.
Cisar's duties also have led him to leave behind his wife, Natalie, and daughters, Ava, 3, and 15-month-old Riley.
Joann Wilson said that while the guardsmen are in Afghanistan, they will be putting together a "Fill the Bus" event. She said everyone is invited to donate items that the guardsmen might need such as non-perishable food items. The event will be held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at First Student, 1800 Colorado Ave.
Michael's mother-in-law, Pam Collins, choked up as she thought of something to say about him. She is proud of him, she said, and can't wait for him to come home.
"He better be safe and come home for his kids," Collins said.
Cisar's wife, Natalie, said that she is emotional, but doesn't think she is at the extent of it.
"Once I go home and he's not there tonight, then I will be very said," she said. "I love him, I'm going to miss him a lot; I'm proud, he's ready to go."
Natalie Cisar said her children's interpretation can be funny when it comes to what their father does.
"(Ava) says, 'My Daddy makes donuts for the army,'" Natalie laughed.
Joann Wilson said her Michael Jr. also talks about what his Dad does.
"He says, 'My Daddy is going to fight bad guys,'" she said with a smile. Continued...
Michael Wilson's wife and children aren't the only ones who came to support him, but cousins as well. His cousin, Brandi Krasienko, said that there is no goodbye.
"It's not goodbye, it's see ya soon."
Ray Kershaw, Ohio first junior vice commander of the Disabled Veterans of America, said that he brought flags for the public to wave. He said it was a good turnout despite it being windy and cold.
"We're proud of their service and stay safe," Kershaw said. "All their brother veterans are here to support them."
Martin Leibas, 51, of Lorain, said he doesn't know anyone being deployed to Afghanistan, but he said he wanted to be there as a patriot.
"It's good to see all the young kids out here," Leibas said. "Just a lot of support these kids need; I hope they all get back safe."
Combat engineers make up most of the National Guard unit, which is on a one-year tour of duty. The guardsmen are expected to return home in January or February 2014. The unit also includes soldiers from Columbus, Cincinnati and other cities across Ohio.

2. | Hemi | ||
Term used by those in the gay community to describe a, supposed, heterosexual man's erection provoked by homo-erotic thoughts, situations or other stimuli. "He says he's as straight as a die but his hemi showed through his pants a mile away."

6. | Hemi | ||
Nickname for a powerful Chrysler V8 engine from the 1960s that had a hemispherical combustion chamber. The name has since been trademarked by Chrylser and applied to a new, 345 horsepower V8 that does not have the characteristic hemispherical heads. The new engine is not really a hemi; DaimlerBenz, the owners of Chrysler and Dodge, wanted a name that would convey the power of the new engine so they picked Hemi.
The copyrighted term Hemi and the accompanying engine have been marketed with a series of commercials featuring actor Jon Reep. Q: That thing got a Hemi in it?
A: Well, if you mean, does it have the new, 345 horsepower Chrysler V8, then yes. But if you mean, does it have the legendary Mopar V8 characterized by hemispherical combustion chambers, then no, this thing does not have a Hemi in it. |

An abbreviation for the medical term hemroid. That thing got a hemi?

Back in January, we told you about the itineraries for the Disney Cruise Line through September 2013. We've now got information for the remainder of nextyear, and it looks like the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder are swapping home ports between the spring and fall, after their respective time away from the Caribbean.
As we noted earlier, the Disney Wonder sails from Port Miami from December 23, 2012, through May 2, 2013, departing Miami on May 6, 2013, to return to the West Coast. After its 14-night Panama Canal voyage and a May 20 departure from Los Angeles to reposition to Vancouver, B.C., the Wonder sails 7-night voyages to Alaska, with a final departure from Vancouver on September 9 to return to Los Angeles on September 14. That was as far as we had in January, and we speculated that the Wonder would then reposition through the Panama Canal again to Miami.
We now know that we were half right. The Wonder repositions through the Panama Canal, but then end its voyage in Galveston, Texas. From there, the ship begins sailing on 7-night Western Caribbean voyages to Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, and Cozumel through the end of 2013. Those cruises (starting at $840 per person) depart on September 28, October 5, 12, 19, and 26, November 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30, and December 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2013.
Meanwhile, the Disney Magic sails 6- and 8-night Western Caribbean voyages out of Galveston from September 2012 through May 10, 2013. On May 10, it departs for Europe, where its itinerary includes 4-, 7-, and 12-night Mediterranean cruises from the port of Barcelona. The Mediterranean sailings will depart through August 31. We expected the Magic to depart Barcelona on September 7 for a 14-night Trans-Atlantic repositioning cruise to Galveston.
We now know that the Magic is heading to Miami instead, but the transfer is somewhat hazy. There is no announced repositioning cruise for the ship, and the sailings from Miami aren't scheduled to start until October 27, 2013. It would appear that the Magic may be in for some extensive drydock refurbishment during that time. There may be additional sailings announced during that gap depending on the drydock schedule as the time gets closer. Once the ship gets to Miami, it sails 3- and 4-night Bahamian itineraries and two different 5-night Caribbean itineraries.
The Magic departs on three-night Bahamas cruises from Miami to Nassau and Castaway Cay (starting at $609 per person) on December 27 and 30, 2013. The ship sails four-night Bahamas cruises to Key West and Castaway Cay (starting at $500 per person) on November 6 and 20, and December 4 and 18, 2013. The Magic's five-night itineraries (starting at $575 per person) visit Cozumel and Castaway Cay for departures October 27, November 10 and 24, and December 8 and 22, 2013, and visit Grand Cayman and Cozumel for departures November 1, 15, and 29 and December 13, 2013.
The Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy continue to cruise their current itineraries from Port Canaveral. The Dream sails 3-, 4-, and 5-night Bahamian voyages, while the Fantasy sails 7-night cruises that alternate between Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.
For more information about the early-2013 voyages, see our story from January. For further information or to book a cruise, you can call Disney Cruise Line at (888) 325-2500, visit the DCL website or contact your travel agent. MousePlanet's preferred Disney travel providers are Mouse Ear Vacations, Small World Vacations, and Get Away Today Vacations.

We're hearing that about a free dining offer released this week for fall and winter 2012. Reports say that the offer is available to Disney Visa cardmembers today, July 9, and to the general public this Thursday, July 12. The promotion is reportedly valid for all room types except standard rooms (Little Mermaid buildings) at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. The free dining would be available for travel with arrival dates during the following periods:
Note: If you're planning to play MouseAdventure: World Explorers IV on November 3, you can get free dining as long as you arrive by the preceding Thursday, November 1.
While this has not been officially confirmed, we have heard it from a fairly reliable source. If the offer is released, we'll have more details in next week's Update.
Construction on the restroom complex in Fantasyland adjacent to Liberty Square has gone vertical. The building is somewhat large for just a pair of restrooms, and some have speculated that there may be a Tangled-themed meet-and-greet as part of this area. The taller steel tower may be a forced-perspective aspect of just such a location. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.
Construction walls have moved closer to Pinocchio Village Haus, hiding the newer work that included a rock wall and set of benches. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

We've now got the list of HGTV stars who are appearing at this fall's 17th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. The personalities are speaking each weekend on the HGTV Stage at the Festival Center located in the former Wonders of Life pavilion. The speaker series kicks off wth this season's winner of Design Star, to be announced July 25. Here's the list of the personalities currently scheduled to speak (subject to change, as always):
Guests waiting for Dumbo from both the Fastpass and Standby queues can now enjoy the air-conditioned thrills of Dumbo's interactive one ring circus. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.
Those using the Standby queue are given easy instructions on the use of a restaurant-style pager device. On what should have been a fairly busy summer afternoon, guests were given the option of using the pager device, or simply walking right on the attraction. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.
Still, for small children up to 8 years of age, the circus tent offers its own enjoyments, such as this "high-wire act" set of swings high above on a net... Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

This final section of the Storybook Circus has been a little more difficult to discern. Hosts at One Man's Dream at the Studios are clear that this is a food and beverage location, with snack wagons in the circular park-like foreground, and other facilities in the background. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.
They also make it clear—as does the circus poster—that the key character in this section is Humphrey the Bear. How he will appear in this corner of the park is yet uncertain. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

Last week, the Disney Parks Blog contained a hint that more missions are coming to the Agent P World Showcase Adventure at Epcot. "Doofenshmirtz is building new missions," Imagineer Jonathan Ackley is quoted as saying. "Also, keep an eye out for more Perry the Platypus!" Since all seven countries from the Kim Possible version of the interactive game are already utilized in the new Agent P version of the game. it is uncertain whether there will be additional missions in the existing countries or if there will be an expansion of the game portals to additional countries. The seven countries already prepared for the game are Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Japan, France, and United Kingdom. The remaining unused countries are Italy, the American Adventure, Morocco, and Canada.
Last Tuesday morning, new Phineas and Ferb topiaries appeared at Epcot in the planter along the main walkway from Future World to World Showcase, near the Odyssey Bridge dispatch location for the Disney Phineas and Ferb's Agent P World Showcase Adventure. Take a look at how Disney put the topiaries up overnight.
The following is a listing of interesting items from paperwork filed with Orange County in the last week:

Bruno747 They will have approximately 3 for sale. 4 if they beg Nvidia
Andrew_K Bruno747 They will have approximately 3 for sale. 4 if they beg Nvidia Lol. Sadly realistic.
BioHazardSperm release and purchase info generally are not spoken about by EVGA unless Nvidia gives them permission and they decide to .EVGA will have them but when is not something they will tell us ,other then on or after the official Nvidia release date .Having seen the 680's and the limited supply im going to say these will sell out worldwide in the first 20 mins of retail sales.Be prepared to F5 all day on release day. It will be 10x worse then trying to get a 680 with the 690 being a limited run to begin with. Good Luck (personally i would wait and go SLI 4G 680 cards as they will beat a 690 and have more memory for multi monitor setups)
fabbasi Jacob mentioned mid May
BioHazardSperm quantities and dates they wont mention together...your gonna have to wait and see like everyone else in the world. they might get 10 they may have none ....they may get 200,but telling your hand in advance is bad business F5 AWAY
BioHazardSperm Why would they start doing that now? 11+ years /....Business doesn't work that way.All it takes is one mistake in shipping or hold up and boom all dates are screwed.Do you see any dates in advanced for the 680 Classy or FTW?(or for any other GPUS in the past) they even have them in shop for sometime now but a date is not set in stone or published yet. Business wise your not seeing the implications of making a promise of a retail sales date .I cant make you understand so i dont know what else or how to get this across to you.
dreadcorp will i be able to step-up my 2 680's ?
BioHazardSperm Like i said Launch and sell date are never the same thing in retail at the upper levels .Technically the cards are already launched and in production,retail sales dates are a complete different idea.Chances are good they will,but in reality unless they have them in shop and have finished retail packaging they very well might not be ready on the 3rd.Do you see ANY other 690 vendor promising sales on the 3rd? Might be a reason behind that .....Generally launches are Fridays (rarely) but mostly tues,sometimes Mondays.And ill be real with you ,i doubt more then 10 people on these forums get to buy one as the first sales are going to be multi purchase of 4/2 for resale by the price jackers at amazon and ebay .Also notice this thread has been seen by EVGA for sometime now and no one has said anything? I hope you get one but being realistic your going to have to wait like everyone else did for the 680's and previous GPU's .
dreadcorp i want to step up 2 680 to into 2 690 ... post was maybe a bit too short :)
BioHazardSperm TeamEVGA just sent a twitter message saying : https://twitter.com/#!/TEAMEVGA Very soon! RT @Hypereth: @TEAMEVGA I want to order a GTX 690. I can not find out where to place the order though. Shut up and take my money Its something :)
DeadPhoenix86 dreadcorp will i be able to step-up my 2 680's ? why you want to do that? 2 680's is faster than a single 690. plus they will overclock much further.

All of our bodycare products are facial quality. That means we put the same amount of care, attention and expense into making our Boob Tube as the cosmetic giants do into making their eye cream. Why? Because the skin on your bust and décolletage is very similar to the skin under your eyes – very thin, very delicate without a lot of inherent elasticity. Boob Tube is designed to help avoid the classic lifecycle of every boob – gorgeous young boob (perky), fast forward a million bounces to a slightly older boob (saggy). You want firm and pert, right? But it is not just about sag; it is about the quality and tone of your skin across your neck and chest. It is about feeling good in a V-neck t-shirt forever. You want to avoid the common complaint of thin, dehydrated skin with too many crinkles and creases.
Remember that great scene in 'Something's Gotta Give' with Diane Keaton wearing those turtle-necks – because she was worried about her own turtle neck? She took great care of her face but forgot about her neck and chest, what a shame! Boob Tube will keep you skin nourished, plump, juicy and youthful – but you will need to work it in to your everyday skincare routine. It takes 10 seconds, 1 pump from below the chin to below the boobs – done.
Who loves it?
It seems EVERYBODY! Already winning 5 industry awards, Boob Tube is even recommended by plastic surgeons to help skin cope and heal with bust surgery. We have a following of 18 year olds whose clever mums have told them that they should start to fight gravity now. Women of all ages are loving Boob Tube as daily skin maintenance. Some women start using it as a pre-bikini booster (nothing like stripping to your bikini on a beach to focus the mind on skincare!). The list goes on and on… and if you happen to find us in stock of Boob Tube you are lucky because we sell out regularly.
Boob Tube is brilliant from my boobs to my neck to my face everything is lifting including my confidence and sensational for my sensitive skin what more could I want!Barnsley

Customer Reviews for Boob Tube Bust & Neck Firmer
by Pleased in USA
Really works!I love this product and have re-ordered several times. I don't have much size in the boob department, but my neck and chest was showing my age (59) and dryness. Voila! Wrinkles and crinkles have softened, reduced, and some are gone with my regular use. Thank you much!

londonderryThis has to be Mama Mio's hero product!!

blackpoolWhen you think of a "yummy mummy" you picture a twenty-something woman pushing a designer pram through Notting Hill. Well, I turn 60 this year and I don't want to be a frumpy granny so I dieted, joined a salsa dancing class, had my hair cut and colored and invested in Mama Mio Boob Tube after seeing the miracles it worked on my daughter.
My throat and neck is tightened - no more polo necks to hide the bags and wrinkles - my boobs look better than they have since before I breastfed many many years ago.
I can now treat myself to low-cut, saucy dresses to go salsa dancing in and feel confident and comfortable, knowing that I look great and much younger than my 60 years.
So what if my daughter is 40? I'm still a yummy mummy! Don't write us mature ladies off just because we are nearing pension age - 60 is the new 40 thanks to Boob Tube! -
by Leanne
Sittingbourne, KentAfter breastfeeding my first son, I was very "deflated" with the sight of my boobs which looked like a pair of balloons you find left over, hidden behind the sofa a few months after the party. At 22, this really got me down and I didn't like my partner to see me - after finding this product I truly believe that it actually works and my boobs are becoming more and more firmer by the day. I will still use it after our second child has been born and breastfed, which is currently baking in the oven !! Always recommended.

Golden Gloves, boxing used to be a big event in area
Kyle Korner …
In years past the annual Golden Gloves boxing tournament used to be a very big event.
The bouts were held in the old Burch High School gymnasium up on the hill in downtown Delbarton.
At one time there were boxing clubs in Delbarton, Williamson, Gilbert and other communities in the Tug Valley area. There were even cards held at the Williamson Fieldhouse and I've been told in the old Memorial Building in downtown Williamson.
The local boxing club produced many outstanding boxers over the years.
Current Mingo County Circuit Clerk Grant Preece was one of those boxers. He became a state champion and then went on to box in the military in the early 1960s.
He became the Second Army
Preece, who grew up in the Delbarton area, brought by a booklet that his mother had saved for him which was called West Virginia Centennial Sports Greats for the state's broken down by county. Preece was included in the Mingo County list for his accomplishments.
He also received a certificate from the W.Va. Centennial Commission which was dated April 6, 1963. That year marked the Mountain State's 100th birthday.
Melvin Fulgham, a boxer from Williamson, was also on the list. He was a former professional fighter, who also started out in the Golden Gloves.
Former Mingo County Clerk Tommy Diamond, who also hailed from the Delbarton area. He went on to fight in the Marine Corp and came close to making the U.S. Olympic team back in his heyday.
Other championship fighters listed for Mingo County included William Hairston of Williamson, Mike Penner and Custer Perry of Delbarton.
My half-brother, the late Fred Caudill, was also a fine Golden Gloves boxer back in the late 1950s from what many local sports fans have told me.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s Delbarton's Carey Lee Hatfield became a Golden Gloves champ and went on to have a few pro fights.
Mingo County has a long history of producing tough boxers, especially back in the days of the Golden Gloves.
Due to early press deadlines, the game stories and photos for Tug Valley's Lady Panthers, Belfry's Lady Pirates and the Mingo Central Miners tournament games from Thursday night will appear in the Sunday print edition of the Williamson Daily News. Check our on-line edition for the stories at williamsondailynews.com.

AnniversarRE: RE Sources Celebrates Building
Healthy Communities for 30 Years
A Brief History:
A small band of idealistic volunteers started picking up recyclable materials in Bellingham with a borrowed truck in 1982. That crew included now well-known public figures like Harriet Spanel and Louise Bjornson. By 1985, Bellingham Community Recycling (BCR) had expanded its operations to cover ten neighborhoods, owned its own truck and employed a paid crew. Moreover, BCR had begun to conduct programs in the schools designed to teach students the ABC's of recycling. In 1989, after the citizens proved it could be done, the City of Bellingham began offering curbside recycling to all city residents. Shortly thereafter, in 1991, Whatcom County followed suit, making it the first County in the State to offer curbside recycling.
The non-profit organization changed its name in 1995 to RE Sources for Sustainable Communities aka RE Sources. Two years prior to the name change, it had started The RE Store. This cherished community asset featured building material retail stores for used building supplies as well as pick up, salvage and green demolition services along with educational workshops and green jobs training. Programs continued to be started out of RE Sources, like the North Sound Baykeeper, RE Lectronics electronics recycling and reuse(now an independent non-profit), and Sustainable Connections even rented its first office in the conference room at The RE Store's former facility on Holly Street. The nationally recognized Pipeline Safety Trust was also incubated by former RE Sources executive director, Carl Weimer, in response to the 1999 Olympic Pipeline tragedy.
Challenges along the way have included overcoming many hurdles, including broken down vehicles, outdated computers and other tools, and raising funds for purchasing a permanent home.
Today the organization owns its own compound at 2309 Meridian Street, has a store in Seattle, a field office for the Baykeeper, visits thousands of locations each year and is on track despite the challenging economy.

"Difficult to Describe"
Wednesday, February 15th, 2012 by
Permalink for this paragraph 1 Reader-Response criticism is the one area of critique that I have the most experience with. In high school, and even elementary school, I responded to my teachers' questions, such as what I thought the text was about or what my reaction was to it. However, even with some familiarity to this concept, right after I finish reading a poem, watching a movie, or looking at a work of art, I am not able to immediately put what I think into words. My initial response, if asked my opinion right away, is usually, "I like it," or "I don't like it." This is not the eloquent answer I want to give to anyone. I am always envious of the students who know right away what they believe the text is trying to convey. The particular quote from chapter 4 of Texts and Contexts that reminded me of my efforts to quickly piece together the thoughts in my head was, "The immediate impression that one gets from a painting or sculpture will be difficult to describe, of course, because it feels like an all-at-once experience" (79).
Permalink for this paragraph 1 Finally, someone has summarized what I have been struggling with; I cannot immediately voice my thoughts because the task of putting them all together in a very short timeframe is overwhelming. This "all-at-once experience" bombards my mind, so it takes me a bit longer to formulate my opinions. I know how I generally feel about a text, however it is "difficult to describe" because I do not know where to begin. With a bit of time, I am able to develop my own critique and can ascertain what I believe about whatever it is I am evaluating. Now that I know the step-by-step of Reader-Response criticism, it will hopefully help me to create an impression that I can voice more quickly.
Permalink for this paragraph 1 An additional point that I found interesting in the reading was when the author discussed how people's responses are different depending on their previous knowledge of the text. If they know more about what to expect, they will have a richer response toward it. This caused me to consider when this has happened in my life, and I realized that it has occurred quite often. For example, before viewing a film, a friend told me that it was quirky; so, I went into watching the movie with the expectation that it would be a bit strange, and therefore was not surprised when it fulfilled that expectation. I knew what to anticipate and I had a better viewing experience because of it. On the other hand, I remember a few times that I knew very little—if anything—about a movie's plot or genre, and because I did not know what to expect, I was repeatedly startled by certain things within it, and left either confused or unhappy about the film as a whole. Background information to texts or some previous knowledge about it is essential to having a positive response towards it.

Student Employment
The Student Employment Program is managed by Liz Condon-Oakberg, the Student Employment Coordinator in Career Services. She can be reached by phone, 314-968-6982 or email, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Student Employment Program is designed to help students meet educational expenses through meaningful employment. Career Services assists students in finding part-time student employment positions. Student employment at Webster is divided into three different programs:
Federal Work Study
Federal Work Study (abbreviated CWSP on the Financial Aid Award Letter) recipients may work either on campus or in an approved community service work study site. Community service work study sites are created by the Student Employment Coordinator. Students must be enrolled at least half-time at the University to retain their award over the course of the academic year.
Program Date: July 1 - June 30
Budget Student Employment
Budget Student Employment (abbreviated BSWS by the Career Services office) is available to current students, regardless of financial need. The hiring department funds the position directly, so appeals for an increase in award amount must be made to the hiring supervisor and not the Financial Aid Office.
Program Date: June 1 - May 31
International Webster Work Study
International Webster Work Study (abbreviated IWWS on the Financial Aid Award Letter) is awarded to a small number of international students annually, as a recruitment tool for incoming freshmen. International students are awarded a set dollar amount to earn over the course of the year and additional funds are not available. This funding does not require international students to complete and submit a financial aid application.
Program Date June 1 - May 31

RUFit athletes compete in national meet
By JIM WALLER
Whidbey News Times Sports editor
December 13, 2012 · 9:24 AM
Five Running Unlimited Fitness athletes competed in the USA Track and Field Junior Olympic national cross country championships in Albuquerque Saturday, Dec. 8.
Ryan Vasileff, 12, and Dylan Rydell, 11, were on "loan" to the Cascade Striders and helped their team place eighth among 23 midget (11/12) teams. Vasileff placed 67th (11:32) and Rydell 180th (12:22) out of 260 runners over 3,000 meters.
RUFit coach Catie Rodeheffer said Vasileff was boxed in early and stood about 100th 2,000 meters into the race but "showed great strength to make surges and work to move up."
Laura Rodeheffer, 13, placed 138th (16:54) out of 238 in the 4,000-meter youth (13/14) race and helped her team, Whatcom Tesseract, place fourth, just 27 points out of first. Coach Rodeheffer said her daughter was hampered by a sore heal, an injury that she couldn't worsen by racing, and had to fight through the discomfort.
Jonalynn Horn, 15, placed 39th of 132 (21:22) runners in the intermediate (15/16) 5K race.
John Rodeheffer, 16, finished 31st out of 160 in the intermediate boys division. His 5K time of 17:38 was only 74 seconds behind the winning mark.
None of the RUFit athletes ran personal records at the meet, but that wasn't unexpected because of the elevation (5,000 feet), according to coach Rodeheffer. She said, "Coach Bill (Rodeheffer) and I were very proud of all of them for putting out their best efforts and rising to the challenge of racing to the best of their abilities."
It was Rydell's and Horn's first national junior meet; the others are veterans. Laura and John Rodeheffer have qualified eight times and Vasileff twice.
RUFIT is a non-profit club and would like to thank Iverson Insurance Agency for its support of the runners and Applebees for the shout-out.

If you wanted to build a case for the controversial decision to ban rep players from playing girls high school hockey in Halton, Brianne Verwey could very well be a perfect example for both sides.
After playing rep hockey for five years, Verwey decided she wanted a schedule that was a little less demanding. So this year, the 15-year-old switched from rep hockey to house league and supplemented it by playing for her school team at Burlington Central, where she could play with her friends.
That is exactly what the Halton Secondary School Athletic Association is counting on when its rule takes effect next season. "The no-rep rule creates opportunities for other players to play high school hockey," said Halton District School Board associate director Jeff Blackwell.
House league players will get additional ice time to develop their skills and players who want a less taxing schedule will come from the rep hockey ranks to represent their school.
There's just one small problem.
The majority of Central's team is made up of rep players, including their one and only goalie. Verwey said it's unlikely many other rep players will make the switch to house league next year. And with only three or four more house league players in the school, she said the chances of Central having a team next season are "very minimal if we don't have rep girls."
Asked what she will do next year, the Grade 10 student said, "I'd most likely go back to rep."
The HSSAA says its boys' league is thriving despite not having allowed rep players for more than 30 years (it's one of only three leagues in the province that doesn't allow rep players). Oakville Hornets Girls Hockey Association president Mike Turczyniak says the model works for boys because there are four times as many players in the minor hockey system. He says there are not enough house league players to sustain the girls' high school league and without rep players many high school teams will fold, defeating the HSSAA's purpose of creating more opportunities for players.
Turczyniak hoped to make a presentation to the HSSAA at its meeting at the end of January but was told via e-mail Friday, "There is no meeting to accept or deny this proposal. The new rule will be in place as of September 2013. The meeting later this month is unfortunately for only members of the HSSAA." He was offered the chance to share his concerns in writing.
Allie Gillies and Kristina Kocsis, both members of Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team, were also hoping to make a presentation. They started an online petition, have been building support through a Twitter account, @HaltonLetUsPlay, and a Facebook page and have been gathering information to show the impact the ban will have.
A survey of five schools showed that 93 players tried out, including 71 rep players. They said many teams don't even make cuts, so if more house league players wanted to play high school, all they would have to do is come to tryouts. For example, at Robert Bateman, which ended up not having enough players for a team this year, 11 players tried out — six rep and five house league.
Nelson coach Marc Messier said the boys' high school league is largely populated by players who leave the rep system. He doesn't see players in the upper levels of girls' rep leaving because those players are trying to make junior teams or get scholarships and high school games are not scouted.
"I could see the lower levels being where we lose players," said Lindsay Oliver, president of the North Halton Girls Hockey Association, which serves Milton and Georgetown.
None of Milton's three high schools had a girls' hockey team this year. And Oliver doesn't see players, even at the lower levels, leaving rep for a high school team with an uncertain future. That would make it increasingly harder to re-establish a team once it folds.
Kocsis, a defenceman for the Stoney Creek Sabres of the Provincial Women's Hockey League, says if forced to choose, she will play rep. The Grade 11 student says there are many reasons for wanting to play high school as well, including fostering school spirit.
"There's a sense of pride," she said. "In Grade 9, I heard the Grade 12s talking about Irish pride. I learned that through hockey."
The diverse ages and hockey backgrounds is another unique aspect of girls' high school. Because girls' hockey teams draw from a smaller pool of players, its commonplace for Grade 9s to play with Grade 12s. In that way, hockey bridges a gap between first-year and senior students who may otherwise have little or no interaction with one another.
"If I didn't play school hockey, I wouldn't know the Grade 9s or 10s on our team," said Gillies.
Mentoring their younger teammates can teach players valuable skills.
"On my PW(HL) team, I'm one of the youngest players and I'm in my first year," says Nelson goalie Kyra O'Brien, now in her third season with the Flames. "On the high school team I have more of a leadership role."
Development on the ice is also important, even if many of the players compete at a higher level. O'Brien is enjoying a strong rookie season with the Burlington Barracudas of the PWHL. The 16-year-old goalie has posted a 2.23 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage — very good numbers for a team that sits in the middle of the pack in the league standings.
The Grade 11 student hopes to earn a hockey scholarship and has already been contacted by coaches and visited schools. She's committed to her team, with two practices a week and anywhere from one to three games.
O'Brien still manages to find time to play for her high school, in large part because games and practices are right after school. There won't be any scouts in the stands to see her play for Nelson, but she says the benefit of playing for her high school can't be discounted.
O'Brien regularly faced players from the PWHL in her first two seasons of high school hockey, helping prepare her for what she would face in her rookie season.
"I was playing against girls I looked up to, who were playing on the teams I wanted to play for," she said. "It pushed me to become a better goalie."
The ban of rep players will not affect O'Brien's ability to get a scholarship. But the players who come after her will not have the benefit of following a similar development path.
Notre Dame coach Paul Leonard said the diversity in hockey backgrounds in girls hockey benefits players of all skill levels. His team has players ranging from house league to the PWHL, as well as two players who play exclusively high school.
"You can have a Grade 9 bantam AA player defending against a Grade 12 junior player. Where else can they have exposure to that level (of play)? That speeds up their development," he said. "For the high level player, they are able to do things in a high school game that they wouldn't try in a junior game. It's a win-win situation."
The hockey players feel they are being subjected rules that don't apply to athletes in other sports.
"Personally, I don't like them taking the rep girls out," says Verwey. "What I don't understand is why don't they take out the rep girls (in other sports). Why single out hockey?"
Blackwell spoke on behalf of the HSSAA, though he doesn't sit on the board. He said the restrictions are in place "when (rep and high school) seasons coincide."
However, the seasons of girls' volleyball and boys' and girls' soccer seasons also coincide, but there are no restrictions on rep players in those sports.
Blackwell said another factor taken into consideration is the "balance of time for students. There are a lot of games, a lot of practices and they want to see some balance between academics, athletics and social time."
O'Brien played both rep and high school last year and had a 90 per cent average in her classes. She said the demands can be taxing at times, but believes the benefits are worth it.
"Definitely, I can be overloaded at times and it can be stressful. It's helped me manage my time better, though. It's given me those extra skills that aren't taught in the classroom."
In Grade 9, O'Brien backed up Jenna Hague on Nelson's Halton championship team. Hague is now attending Ball State University on a golf scholarship. In her first two years at Nelson, she played high school hockey, had eight to 10 hours of golf practice during the week and played rep hockey.
"It was a lot, but it wasn't a problem," Hague said. "I was able to do it,"
Hague didn't play rep hockey in her final two years of high school as golf became more of a focus, but her case brings up an interesting point. Are high school hockey players unfairly having restrictions put on what they can do outside of school?
Next year, a student could play rep hockey and high school volleyball at the same time, though the time commitment would be the same.
Halton's ban on rep players is defended by its supporters who say when conflicts arise between rep and high school schedules, players will choose rep, leaving their school team severely shorthanded or even force them to forfeit a game.
In girls hockey, though, players tend to come from a wide variety of teams. Notre Dame, for example, has players from eight different teams with no more than three players on any single team, minimizing the chances of being left without enough players. Gillies, who plays midget A in Burlington, says she has missed only "three or four games" over three seasons because of conflicts with rep.
"At Nelson, there probably wasn't a player on the team that didn't have some other commitment, whether it was music or dance or another sport," Hague said. "It almost seems they're really looking for an excuse."

Mullin (Detroit News, file)
Detroit — Turkia Mullin may get another severance after all.
The fired Detroit Metropolitan Airport CEO — whose $200,000 payout from Wayne County ignited a scandal and FBI probe — improved her chances of a $700,000 severance from the county Airport Authority when an arbitrator recently ruled her contract was valid.
Airport officials had hoped an arbitrator, retired Wayne County Circuit Judge Paul Teranes, would rule the contract was illegally negotiated, halting her demand for nearly three years' pay.
Airport officials this week learned of the decision.
"We hoped he would rule it was illegal and that would be the end of it, but it's going forward now," said Wayne County Commissioner Bernard Parker, D-Detroit, who serves on the Airport Authority. "It's not good news."
Ray Sterling, Mullin's attorney, wouldn't comment specifically on the decision, but called it a "major, major victory that the arbitrator ruled not only was it legal, but it's an enforceable and binding contract."
Mullin, the county's former economic development director, was hired as the airport's $250,000 per year CEO in August 2011.
The process was heavily criticized because of airport officials' close ties to her onetime boss, Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano.
She began work Sept. 2 and was fired Oct. 31 for undisclosed reasons, two weeks after the FBI served subpoenas on Ficano's administration for Mullin's severance and deals she and other officials helped broker since 2007. Her three-year airport contract called for her to receive the balance of her salary if she was let go without just cause.
Scott Wintner, an airport spokesman, declined comment. So did airport authority member Suzanne Hall.
Airport officials had claimed the contract was void because Hall negotiated the deal without other airport authority members.
This week, unsealed search warrants in the Ficano probe showed for the first time that Mullin and former Deputy County Executive Azzam Elder are a focus of the probe.
Sterling said he's not only trying to secure the rest of Mullin's airport contract, but "trying to clear her name and show what an excellent employee she was."
