Rent-Seeking with Asymmetric Valuations
This paper analyzes G. Tullock's (1980) rent-seeking game with asymmetric valuations for a variable range of the returns to scale parameter. A necessary and sufficient condition for a unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium is established. Equilibrium effort and expected profits are determined and subjected to comparative statics analysis. Increasing the underdog's valuation induces both players to increase their efforts. Increasing the favorite's valuation increases his effort but decreases the effort of the underdog. Expected profits increase with a player's valuation but decreases with the valuation of the competitor. The impact of the returns to scale parameter is also analyzed.

Despite All the Hype, Obama Continues to Lead
(Note from Extreme Liberal: As regular readers know, I think horse race polls this far out from an election are silly. But having said that, sometimes you just have to play along with the rest of the media who live by them.)
Guest Blogger: Mike Sax
As much as the boobirds take any temporary drop in Obama's numbers as proof he is in deep trouble, he continues to lead all GOP challengers. He leads Romney 46-43 percent among likely voters. He leads Perry 50-38 and the currently surging Herman Cain 49-37.
He also is doing very well with women with a 49-41 lead with women against Romney, 53-36 against Perry and 53-32 against Cain.
While the naysayers belabor his 44 percent approval rating, the large majorities that are concerned about the direction the country is going in and the economy, what they always ignore is Obama is personally liked by the public. I've pointed this out to FDLers who scoffed that this could be relevant, but what they fail to consider is how close likability is to trust or at least think of it this way: if you like someone you probably have a decent level of trust for him or at least think his heart is in the right place.
The numbers clearly show why the Republican party establishment quite desperately prefers Romney, he is clearly the only one who has a prayer of winning. Yet he still hasn't put the primary race away. This is the latest the GOP has been open since Wendell Willkie. Normally the party would know who its candidate is by now. Yet the establishment is struggling. Cain is currently leading the field yet he trails Obama by the most. Rush Limbaugh attacked Romney this week as not a conservative-about as damning as it gets- pointing out that 70 percent of the GOP field is not interested in Romney.
In addition there was some good news from this Time poll regarding issues. On most issues the public agrees with the Democrats.
"For Democrats, the silver lining in a gloomy series of electoral rebukes and legislative setbacks is that voters remain partial to their chief economic principles, at least compared to the alternatives. Forty-two percent of respondents say they place greater trust in the Democratic Party to deal with the nation's problems, compared to the 31% who side with Republicans. In particular, some two-thirds of those surveyed say they prefer the Democrats' blueprint for trimming the federal deficit — a mix of spending cuts and tax hikes — to the GOP prescription, which would solely slash spending. At the same time, more voters think reducing spending is a better way to juice the moribund economy than an additional round of stimulus, the approach advocated by liberal economists."
That last line about preferring reducing spending to increasing stimulus however is the one thing the GOP can jump all over. If this is what the public believes it is wrong. There is no way cutting spending could juice the economy. A majority also thought that Saddam Hussein was connected to 9/11.
Meanwhile the Occupy Wall Street protests are seen much more positively than the Tea Party movement is: "The survey also revealed that respondents have a better impression of the left-leaning protest movement known as Occupy Wall Street than they do of the Tea Party movement. Fifty-four percent of respondents harbor a positive view of the burgeoning protest movement, well above the 23% with a negative opinion. By contrast, just 27% of those surveyed have favorable views of the Tea Party, while 65% say its impact on U.S. politics since its inception in 2009 has been negative or negligible."
"Those results reflect a strain of economic populism common to the new movement's backers. Among those respondents familiar with Occupy Wall Street, nearly 80% argue the wealth disparity in the U.S. has grown too large and 68% say the rich should pay more taxes. Even so, this cohort is aware of the challenges facing the movement. Fifty-six percent predict Occupy Wall Street will have little impact on American politics, and another 9% say its effect will be negative."
So Americans support OWS but are pessimistic about its chances of success.

A 46-43 "lead" is a TIE. (Margin of error)
We don't elect presidents by popular vote.
The media (and bloggers) should break down the
numbers by electoral regions to get a better picture.Comment by ed-words | October 18, 2011 | Reply

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Our Story
It was 1987, and my twin brother Matt was a punter in college. Tired of chasing footballs up and down the street in Montclair, NJ where we grew up Matt went to work on building a punting net in our parents' backyard. From these initial efforts came the unique "S" shaped frame design and ball return feature that defines The Net Return today.
After college, life happened including marriage, kids and mortgages and our dream of creating the ultimate sports training net was put on hold. Matt eventually moved down to Myrtle Beach, S.C. and took up playing golf while my wife and I moved to Bergen County, eventually settling in Glen Rock.
We continued to develop the product over the years to encompass multiple sports – not just football but golf, soccer, baseball, softball and lacrosse. The value and backyard application of one multi-sport net was evident for my wife and me, as our two boys played numerous sports including baseball, lacrosse and golf.
First and foremost in our minds was quality. We moved from a PVC frame design, to steel (too heavy) and ultimately to what comprises the frame today – tubular aluminum.
Significant changes were also made to the netting, transitioning away from the traditional nylon used in the majority of today's sport nets to heavyweight polyester. This change provides significant benefits in strength, durability, UV protection and safety.
After thousands of hour's field testing the product with training facilities, high schools, colleges and universities, professional sport teams, parents and athletes – rapid setup and breakdown also became a priority. This feedback led to the development of the Push Button "Quick Color Connect System". The simple matching of tube colors allows a single individual to setup (or breakdown) a Pro Series training net in under 5 minutes. We later added a duffle bag for ease of transport and storage.
The Net Return officially "unveiled" the Pro Series at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show in January, which is the largest golf industry show in the world. The response was overwhelming positive. That was the good news...the bad news was that we had no idea what our price points would be or how (or who) would be able to manufacture our new training net.
After the PGA Show we attempted to contract numerous manufacturers to make our nets, to our dismay the quality we received from these manufacturers did not meet our standards. Our goal was (and still is...) to produce the best training nets in the world. We quickly realized that to accomplish this goal we were going to have to setup our own production facility, monitoring and controlling each aspect of net production.
In February 2008 we did just that, not in China, but in Wyckoff, NJ., It is here, where we cut, sew and inspect by hand, each and every high performance training net that we produce.
In August we released our second product, called The Net Return Extra Point which is a training net designed specifically for place-kickers and punters. Look for the Extra Point on the sidelines of your favorite NFL and College Football teams this season.
Spring 2013 Update
Thank you for all of your support,
Paul Crawley – President

Trilogies in sports are nothing unusual, but very rarely do they happen on a yearly basis in high school basketball.
For the third straight year, the No. 5 Sterling Tigers and the No. 6 Velma-Alma Comets met in the finals of the Black Diamond Tournament at Rush Springs.
But, unlike the past two years there was a plot twist this time around as the Tigers used clutch free throws down the stretch to claim a 52-48 victory.
"I just told my boys that's a good team and they made plays down the stretch," V-A coach Kenny Bare said. "We just needed to play better and make plays. Our effort was there all night, it was just a couple of bad decisions near the end. The tide turned on us there in the end."
Trevyn Woolbright made five free throws in with less than two minutes remaining to help the Tigers keep the Comets at bay, as V-A suffered only its second loss of the season.
V-A held a two point lead at 41-39 with 4:39 left in the fourth quarter, but was never fully in control in what turned out to be a physical game on both sides of the ball.
An exciting first half saw multiple ties and lead changes occur, but only after SHS held a 9-4 lead at the 2:40 mark of the first quarter.
Despite holding an 11-8 advantage going into the second, the Comets took the lead into the locker room at halftime, 25-23.
"You just relate the frustration of the first half to Kenny Bare and Velma-Alma," Sterling coach Bink Woolbright said. "He's a great defensive coach and has a great group of athletes. It's hard to get an offense going against them. Trevyn (Woolbright) hit some shots early on and was fortunate to do so. I was proud of our kids though for executing when they needed to."
Sterling's biggest lead in the third quarter was three points, but only momentarily as the Comets managed to tie the game both times the Tigers held a three point lead at 32-32 and 44-44.
Going into the fourth quarter, the Comets were still in front leading 38-37.
V-A managed to get within two points with seven seconds left, but it wasn't to be on the night.
Jaz Gayanich led the scoring attack for the Comets (12-2) with 16 points followed by Dallen Mercer with 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds. Zac Cable added nine points with Connor Sullivan putting in seven points.
"Sterling is number five for a reason," Bare said. "We're right there with them also. I just hope they will look at the tape and realize what we need to do to get better. I think our guys will use this as something to show us we're not where we need to be."
Sterling (17-1) was led by Trevyn Woolbright with 23 points, followed by Mickey Milam with 14 points.
V-A will be on the road against Walters Tuesday night with tip-off set for 6:30 p.m.

Comets can't pull out upset
When Velma-Alma senior Conner Sullivan hit a halfcourt shot at the halftime buzzer to trim Glencoe's lead, the Panthers, who had gone 57-1 in the last 58 games had to be thinking "oh no, here we go again."
Comanche can't close out Alva
It wasn't the way No. 8 Comanche basketball wanted its season to end, but with a 64-62 loss to No. 10 Alva Thursday, the Indians headed home after the first round of the Class 3A area tournament.

Perkins-Tyron awaits Marlow in area tourney
As the only unranked team in Class 3A, Marlow coach Kirk Harris knows nothing will be easy in the area tournament.
Wood's defensive skills key to Comanche's success
No. 7 Comanche boys basketball plays No. 10 Alva on Thursday in a win-or-go-home scenario that could put the Indians two wins away from the state tournament.
Marlow No. 3, Central High No. 12 in first baseball poll
The first OSSAA rankings of the season came out for baseball Tuesday, with Marlow and Central High cracking the top 15.

GW exceeds the legal limit with this roundup of the 50 fastest masters of the fretboard.
It's the place where true, universal emotion comes from
It's been stuck in my head for minutes and seconds and hours...
When I was writing our last Exposed column, I couldn't resist including Blare N. Bitch, formerly of the ever-stupendous Betty Blowtorch. But I came up short when I tried to uncover what she was up to today. Luckily, Blare jumped in to give us the lowdown on what she's been doing for the last couple of years.

TEAMS: New York Giants, Washington Redskins
New York Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph got into an altercation with Redskins offensive lineman Will Montgomery and admits he almost stomped on him.
With 6:56 left in the third, Redskins tailback Alfred Morris rushed the ball down the sideline to the Giants nine, then had the ball punched out by linebacker Chase Blackburn. Giants linebacker Keith Rivers pounced on the ball, but as players piled on top of him, Joseph and Redskins lineman Will Montgomery got into a minor altercation.
Joseph appeared to pull Montgomery's leg from the pile, and the lineman kicked at Joseph. It looked as if Joseph stomped on Montgomery in retaliation, but he said he did not.
"It took me everything not to hit him back, because I didn't want to hurt the team, I didn't want to get fined," Joseph said. "I started (to stomp), then I stopped."
Joseph drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play, as did Redskins OL Kory Lichtensteiger, who was also involved in an altercation on the play. The penalti...

From the 0-6 2011 Colts' stunning 62-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints to the 0-6 2011 Rams' stunning 31-21 victory over that same New Orleans Saints team one week later, the recent history of 0-6 teams covers a broad spectrum of seventh game results. And, by and large, 0-6 teams have fared better than you may think. Before we get into the recent history of NFL teams who have started 0-6, let's first go over how much luck and skill determine the result of an NFL game.
Luck versus skill
Think about it this way: if the result of an NFL game was entirely dependent upon the skill level of each team, we would see a 19-0 team and an 0-16 each season. On the other hand, if the result of an NFL game was entirely dependent upon luck, we would see an overwhelming distribution of teams with 7-9, 8-8, and 9-7 records, and a 15-1 team would be expected just once every 128 seasons. Clearly, the result of an NFL game is dependent upon both the skill of the teams and some amount of luck.
Brian Burke from Advanced NFL Stats has plotted expected win distributions for a variety of luck/skill levels. On the same chart, he overlaid the actual distribution of wins seen in the NFL. The result shows that the distribution of wins in the NFL most closely mimics a distribution where wins are 52.5% determined by skill and 47.5% determined by luck. For the sake of ease/clarity in this discussion, let's round that to 50/50.
Here's an easy way to think about how a 50/50 split in skill and luck determines a team's record: for 8 games a season the better team wins, and for 8 games a season the result is determined by a coin flip. Therefore, the worst you should project a team to finish is 4-12, as they'd lose all 8 of the skill games and would (on average) win 4 of the 8 luck games. Conversely, the best team shouldn't be projected to win more than 12 games.
Don't believe this? Take a look at what Vegas projected in 2013. Or 2012. Or 2011. You get the point: luck is a significant factor in determining the result of an NFL game. Vegas knows it (and bounds its win/loss totals accordingly) and now you can explain it.
So where does that leave us? With the understanding that even if Jacksonville is the worst team in the NFL, that the worst we should consider their true winning percentage is .238.^
^ This is derived using the 52.5% skill figure cited above, not the rounded 50/50 share.
0-6 teams in the past decade
Year | Team | Game 7 Result | Final Record |
2011 | Colts | L 7-62 | 2-14 |
2011 | Dolphins | L 17-20 | 6-10 |
2011 | Rams | W 31-21 | 2-14 |
2010 | Bills | L 10-13 | 4-12 |
2009 | Titans | W 30-13 | 8-8 |
2009 | Buccaneers | L 7-35 | 3-13 |
2009 | Rams | L 6-42 | 1-15 |
2008 | Bengals | L 10-38 | 4-11-1 |
2008 | Lions | L 17-25 | 0-16 |
2007 | Rams | L 6-33 | 3-13 |
2007 | Dolphins | L 28-49 | 1-15 |
2005 | Texans | W 19-16 | 2-14 |
2004 | Dolphins | W 31-14 | 4-12 |
The combined record for these teams following their 0-6 start is 40-89-1, good for a .310 winning percentage. Their record in their seventh games? 4-9, a .307 winning percentage. Not a ridiculous sample size, but this reinforces what's written above: that NFL wins and losses are very much decided by randomness.
While none of these teams made the playoffs -- in fact, the only team to start 0-4 and make the playoffs is the 1992 Chargers -- some of them played over .500 ball after their 0-6 start: the 2009 Titans actually went 8-2 from there on out, after swapping out Kerry Collins for Vince Young; the 2011 Dolphins went 6-4, with a 6-6 record after swapping out Chad Henne -- more on him later -- for Matt Moore in week six; the 2008 Bengals went 4-5-1, with a 4-6-1 record after Carson Palmer's elbow injury ended his season in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The previous paragraph illustrates another point: when a team is 0-6, they're desperate. The coach feels the hot seat and is probably more inclined to make bold changes than he ordinarily would. Whether it's the result of changing out the quarterback or modifying their philosophy altogether, 0-6 teams have won more games over the remaining ten games than theory says they should win: they won 40 (and tied another) when the worst team, in theory, would win just 31.
Reasons Jacksonville isn't a .238 team
The final sentence of the previous section also leads to an important note: six games doesn't appear to be enough to definitively determine the worst team, ie. that .238 theoretical team. Are you sure the Jaguars aren't better than the Buccaneers, Giants, Vikings, or Steelers? After all, Jacksonville's losses are against the Broncos (6-0), Chiefs (6-0), Seahawks (6-1), Colts (4-2), Rams (3-3), and Raiders (2-4). Those teams are 21-10 excluding their wins against Jacksonville! So while the Jaguars look awful -- in record, point differential, FO metrics, and PFF metrics -- it could be the case that it's as much about who they've played as who they are.
And in case you weren't aware, Chad Henne will be starting against the Chargers this week...not Blaine Gabbert. This alone should be enough to lift Jacksonville from "freaking awful" to "bad".
As a starter in Jacksonville the past two seasons, working with roughly the same cast, Jaguars backup quarterback Chad Henne put up a -8.1 PFF passing grade in 797 snaps. So basically -1 per 100 snaps. Over that same time-frame, Blaine Gabbert was "worth" roughly -2.1 per 100 snaps. To put that in perspective: that's roughly the same difference in performance as it is between Jay Cutler and Carson Palmer this season.
In more classical statistics: Henne's career QB rating (74.6) is 8.2 points higher than Gabbert's, his yards-per-attempt is 1.1 more than Blaine's, and he completes 6% more of his passes. As a Jaguar, Henne has taken a sack once every thirteen passing plays, while Gabbert takes a sack once every eleven passing plays. So while few would argue that Henne is good, the difference between him and Blaine Gabbert is statistically measurable.
Furthermore, Justin Blackmon averaged nearly 90 yards a game receiving last season in the seven games in which Henne got extensive playing time, and has 236 receiving yards from Henne in the 1.5 games he's had with him at the helm in 2013. Chad Henne can get Justin Blackmon the damn ball, and that's before even considering the Chargers porous secondary.
0-6 teams aren't cakewalks. We know this because NFL games are largely dictated by luck and because the history of 0-6 teams isn't as poor as their record would lead you to believe. They win around 30% of the time going forward, which is closer to a coin flip than it is to an automatic win.
When you add in their quarterback change and hellacious schedule they've played to-date, it only reinforces the point. Hell, the Jaguars are even wearing a new jersey kit against the Chargers this week. Anything to change their fortunes, right?

Heat shock and deciliation induce phosphorylation of histone H1 in T. pyriformis
Cell, Volume 23, Issue 1, 1 January 1981, Pages 73-77
Claiborne V.C. Glover, Karen J. Vavra, Susan D. Guttman and Martin A. Gorovsky
SummaryBoth heat shock and deciliation of Tetrahymena pyriformis lead to an increase in the level of histone H1 phosphorylation. After heat shock, starved or growing cells reach the same maximum level of H1 phosphorylation, although the increase is more easily detected in starved cells because of their relatively low initial level of phosphorylation. In starved cells, stress-induced phosphorylation is rapid, involves a large percentage of the H1, occurs at multiple sites on the H1 molecule and is inhibited by cycloheximide. Stress-induced phosphorylation of H1 in Tetrahymena thus has many properties in common with cell-cycle-dependent H1 phosphorylation although it is not coupled to the cell cycle.

Meng-Chao Yao and Joseph G. Gall
SummaryThe macronucleus of the protozoan, Tetrahymena, is known to contain multiple rRNA genes which are not linked to the chromosomes. Here we present evidence that the germinal micronucleus of this organism contains a single gene for rRNA integrated into the chromosomal DNA. Unlike the extrachromosomal copies of the macronucleus, which are composed of a pair of reversely repeated sequences (a palindrome), the integrated copy of rDNA is nonrepetitive or half the size of the extrachromosomal rDNA. Furthermore, we have failed to detect such an integrated copy of rDNA in the macronucleus. The implications of these observations for the amplification and evolution of rDNA are discussed.

Cell, Volume 28, Issue 3, 1 March 1982, Pages 595-604
Wei-Chun Pan, Eduardo Orias, Miriam Flacks and Elizabeth H. Blackburn
SummaryThe amplification of ribosomal DNA during development of the somatic macronucleus In Tetrahymens thermophila was analyzed by genetic and molecular biological techniques. We have Identified an alternate form of the rDNA, structurally distinguishable from the wild-type by an extra cutting site for Bam HI in its nontranscribed spacer. The altered rDNA was Inherited in crosses in a simple Mendelian fashion, consistent with the presence of only one rRNA gene copy per haploid genome in the micronucleus. We therefore define a locus for the rRNA structural gene, the rdnA locus, with the allele determining the alternate form designated rdnA1. In over 95% of T. thermophila clones heterozygous for the rdnA locus in the micronucleus (rdnA1/rdn+), the macronucleus, which develops from a division product of this micronucleus, contained almost exclusively rdnA1-type amplified palindromic rDNA molecules. The rdnA1 allele is thus almost always dominant over the rdn+ allele with respect to amplification. This genetic variant of the rdnA locus was used to show that the single, free, nonpalindromic rRNA genes, which are synthesized during rDNA amplification, are derived from micronuclear gene copies from both chromosomal homologs. We therefore conclude that in these heterozygotes, selective amplification of the rdnA1 allele is not caused by the production of only one type of free, single rRNA gene during amplification.

- Heat shock, deciliation and release from anoxia result in similar alterations in the pattern of protein synthesis in starved Tetrahymena pyriformis. In each case, synthesis of the same set of (at least) 16 polypeptides is induced, and many of these polypeptides accumulate in stainable amounts within 50 min. The molecular weights of these proteins, which we refer to as stress proteins (sp), are very similar to those of the heat shock polypeptides of Drosophila. Heat shock and deciliation also lead to similar changes in proteins associated with isolated nuclei. One stress-induced polypeptide, designated sp29c, is highly enriched in the nucleus. This protein is undetectable in control cells but is synthesized in response to stress and accumulates in the nucleus in stainable amounts within 50 min. It is not released by staphylococcal nuclease digestion, suggesting that it is not chromatin-associated. Three other stress-induced proteins, sp73 and sp75a and b, are also present in nuclei isolated from stressed cells but, unlike sp29c, are not enriched in this compartment. Another protein, which is present in stainable quantities in the cytoplasm of control cells, appears to be translocated to the nucleus after stress.

Research Summary
We study the negative impact of stress, and mechanisms for better treatment of stress-related psychiatric disorders. Our focus is on the brain neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) and its role in a) acute behavioral, cognitive and endocrine responses to stress; b) adaptive and maladaptive responses to chronic stress; and c) regulatory mechanisms of action of psychotherapeutic drugs. NE is an important neuromodulatory transmitter, which plays a critical role in the acute response to stress by influencing arousal and sensorimotor response capabilities, and by integrating autonomic and endocrine responses with behavior. Using in vivo microdialysis and behavioral pharmacology, we investigate the role of NE in modulating anxiety-like behavioral and neuroendocrine responses to acute stress, and in enhancing higher-order cognitive processes in the prefrontal cortex related to arousal and attention. At a molecular and cellular level, we study regulatory changes in gene expression in brain noradrenergic neurons induced by stress, including synthetic enzymes, the NE transporter and post-synaptic adrenergic receptors using in situ hybridization. We assess changes in noradrenergic function produced by chronic stress that may contribute to stress-related pathology such as depression, PTSD or anxiety disorders. We also investigate the regulatory changes in NE function that contribute to the beneficial effects of antidepressant and anxiolytic drugs. Experimental approaches include behavioral tests of cognition, arousal, anxiety and defensive responses; intracerebral drug microinjections; in vivo microdialysis to measure neurotransmitter release in behaving rats; in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry and receptor autoradiography; radioimmunoassay for plasma hormone measures; and the application of chronic metabolic and psychogenic stressors. These studies will help us to understand the differential roles of NE and other monoaminergic neurotransmitters in a number of complex physiological contexts, including the response to acute stress, the development of chronic stress-related psychopathology such as anxiety or depression, and the mechanisms of beneficial action of psychotherapeutic agents such as antidepressants.

Allied News area wrestlers made a solid showing Saturday in the Section 2-AA Wrestling Championships at Sharon High School, led by 3 champions — Sam Breese (285) of Lakeview, Luke Walter (132) of Grove City and Dave Huselton (120) of Slippery Rock.
Breese defeated Slippery Rock's Forrest Christman, 2-1, in the finals in a clash of two of the state's better heavweights. Other local runners-up were Lakeview"s Evan Clayton (106) and Marquis Spence (170), Mercer's Rodney Brant (138) and Colton Smith (220), Grove City's Trey Maher (145),
Reynolds recorded its 43rd section team title, posting 248.5 points and advancing all 14 wrestlers to the District 10 Class AA Championships this coming weekend at Sharon High. The two four finishers in each weight moved on.
Leading the way for the Blue and Gray were seniors Austin Matthews (152) and Jamar Henry (182). Matthews recorded his 4th section crown and Henry his third. Other Raiders to reach the top of the medal stand were: Seth Hogue (106), Mason McCollum (126), Levi Stoyer (145), Logan Rickert (220).
Sharpsville's Ben BuCher (160) annexed his third section crown and could become a 4-timer next season. Other winners Saturday were: Cody Buchanan (113) and Michael Bonner (138), both of Sharon; Chris Matthews (170), Franklin; Sharpsville's Cody Hughes (195).
Following is a look at the tournament by weight class:
106 – Reynolds freshman Seth Hogue (25-11) nailed an early takedown on Lakeview senior Evan Clayton (24-6) and made it hold up for a 4-1 victory over the tourney top seed. Hogue defeated second-seed Justin Walter of Hickory in the semis.
113 – Sharon senior Cody Buchanan (23-4), a section winner in 2011, grabbed a takedown with 1 second left in the opening period on Raider Mike Bartolo (23-7) for the lead and never trailed on his way to a 6-3 win. It was Buchanan's 100th career win.
120 – Slippery Rock junior Dave Huselton (25-5), the top seed, dumped Raider Nick Nottingham to his back on the first-period takedown for a 5-0 lead. In the second period, the unseeded Nottingham hit a Peterson in the second period for a reveral and back points to tie the count at 5. They then traded reverals for a 7-all deadlock at the third-period turn. The final frame was a series of neutrals and takedowns with the Rocket ace prevailing in a 12-8 thriller.
126 – Sharon junior standout Jarray Norris saw his bid for a third straight title sidelined by a determined Reynolds junior Mason McCollum. Norris led 6-5 late in the match, but McCollum picked up a takedown with a leg cradle and held on for a 7-6 upset victory. Norris fell to 28-2, while McCollum moved to 25-13 after wrestling much of the year at 132.
132 – A pair of sophomores, Grove City's Luke Walter and West Middlesex's Gavin Kroesen squared off in a tight bout that ended 3-3 in regulation. Walter (25-7) hit a single leg takedown in OT for a 5-3 victory.
138 – Sharon senior Michael Bonner put on a takedown clinic against Mercer sophomore Rodney Brant. The lightning quick Tiger notched 13 takedowns en route to a 27-12 technical fall in 4:37. Bonner moved to 28-2 on the year.
145 – Grove City senior Trey Maher led 2-1 after the opening period against Reynolds junior Levi Stoyer and built a 5-1 margin. But Stoyer roared back and deadlocked it at 5 in the final frame. Stoyer (33-6) came up with a 3-point tilt in the final 10 seconds for an 8-5 triumph.
152 – Raider senior superstar Austin Matthews, a three-time state place-winner, grabbed a cradle off the takedown on Franklin freshman Dakota Geer for a 5-0 lead. Matthews (39-1) went on to a 16-0 tech fall in 3:53.
160 – Sharpsville junior Ben BuCher (31-4) picked up his third crown with a hardfought, workmanlike victory over Mike Millero of Reynolds. BuCher notched the first takedown en route to a 3-1 win. "He's the first three-time champ for Sharpsville, I believe," said a proud Blue Devils coach John Whalen. "He's patient and very methodical, he doesn't make many mistakes. We'd like to get a district title next and set outselves up for regions. We'd like to eat some chocolate this year."
170 – Franklin senior Chris Matthews (28-4) only needed 3:45 to record the first fall of the night in the finals, decking Lakeview sophomore Marquis Spence. This marked Franklin's first appearance in the AA tournament after several years in Class AAA.
182 – Raider Jamar Henry picked up a trifecta of section crowns with a tough, 3-2 triumph over Hickory's Joe Hines. Henry (32-8) scored an escape and takedown in the second period for a 3-0 front and made it hold up. He had to battle off a single leg takedown shot at the end of the match for the win over Hines (25-5).
195 – A pair of seniors, Franklin's Dan Geer and Sharpsville's Cody Hughes, tangled here. With the bout tied at 1 in the third period Hughes spun behind for a takedown. He went on to win 3-2 for a second Blue Devil championship of the evening.
220 – Mercer freshman Colton Smith came in as top seed, but was overpowered by Reynolds' Logan Rickert. Rickert led 7-1 after one period and 14-2 after two on his way to a 19-5 win.
285 – This was one of the most anticipated matches of the night as two of the top heavyweights in the state went at it – Slippery Rock senior Forrest Christmann and Lakeview junior Sam Breese. Christmann (26-3), who defeated Breese during the season, scored a second period escape after a scoreless opening frame. However, Breese (27-3) picked up a reversal in the third and rode out for the 2-1 victory.

Breese wins 2nd straight region crown
"One more step!"
Those were the words of Lakeview heavyweight Sam Breese after winning his second straight Northwest AA Regional Championship Saturday at Sharon High School.
Of course the step he referred to was the top of the medals stand at the PIAA State AA Championships this weekend at Hershey Giant Center.
Breese, who won the state 285 crown last season, is seeking to join an elite group of Pa. matmen to win more than one state crown. -
Mercer girls bow in D-10 title tilt; SR ousted in consys
In 1986, the Mercer Lady M's won the school's first and only girls basketball District 10 title at Edinboro University's McComb Field House, but in the same gym on Saturday in 2014, the squad in blue wasn't so lucky.
Mercer led the Gen. McLane Lady Lancers 27-19 entering the fourth quarter, but the Lancers outscored the Lady M's 19-4 in the final frame to win the Class AA title tilt 38-31. -
EXTRA INNINGS: Teams like the Pirates need to invest for the future
Rounding the bases…
FIRST BASE: If you among the very elite at your job, and your company — rolling in money — asked you to take a 50 percent pay cut, then offered a 25 percent cut instead, would you be happy?
Or might you leave for a company that offered you a chance to make 275% more than your former company?
Be serious. Would you stay with your original company? -

Mister Rogers gets auto-tuned again: Watch the 'B-Side' video, 'Sing Together'
There can never be too much love for Mister Rogers.
That's what lies beneath a new digital remix from PBS, "Sing Together." Called the "B-Side" version, this is the second video to feature the words and kindness of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" star Fred Rogers auto-tuned into a song.
Yet again, the result is beautiful and happiness-inducing.
The original, PBS-sanctioned auto-tune remix for Mister Rogers hit the Internet almost exactly one year ago, on June 7, 2012. With footage and lyrics taken from episodes of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," the tune was a nostalgic flashback to decades of childhoods.
And it did rather well for PBS -- "Garden of Your Mind" has over 8.7 million views in its first year.
Can "Sing Together" replicate that success? While it's unlikely that this newest remix, made as before by MelodySheep (Symphony of Science's John D. Boswell), will replicate the initial video's viral status, there's still plenty of Mister Rogers nostalgia out there.
If nothing else, PBS can legitimately hope that "Sing Together" will match the success of its other video remixes: "Happy Little Clouds" (featuring Bob Ross, 5.2 million views), "Keep on Cooking" (Julia Child, 1.5 million views) and "In Your Imagination" ("Reading Rainbow," 850,000 views).

George Best
Article Free PassGeorge Best, (born May 22, 1946, Belfast, Northern Ireland—died November 25, 2005, London, England), Irish-born football (soccer) player who was one of the premiere forwards in the game's history and a fashionable playboy off the field. The stylish Best became one of the iconic figures of "Swinging London" during the 1960s.
While still a schoolboy, Best was recommended to Manchester United by a local Belfast football scout, who called the youngster a "genius." Best joined the club at age 15, and he made his first-division debut two years later, in 1963. He was an immediate sensation, scoring acrobatic goals and helping United to a league title in his second season. He led the club to another league championship during the 1966–67 season. In 1968 he was named European Footballer of the Year and helped United become the first English club to win the European Cup. Best scored a total of 178 goals in his 466 career games with United.
Called the "Fifth Beatle," the handsome Best had long hair that was an anomaly among footballers but was reminiscent of the "mop tops" of England's preeminent rock and rollers, the Beatles. Like them, Best was a colossal celebrity. His fame transcended the football world—Best was the first of many footballers to become a regular subject of the British tabloids—but it also helped foster a drinking problem that would prove to be his undoing. After a bitter departure from United in 1974, he played for numerous lesser teams in Britain, Spain, Australia, and the United States until 1983. His drinking continued to affect his play, however, and he became as well known for his squandered talent as for his undeniable brilliance. Best underwent a liver transplant in 2002 but ultimately was unable to overcome his alcoholism, and he died from a series of transplant-related infections that his compromised immune system could not combat.

The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)
The Black Eyed Peas
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music.
16 Items |
iTunes Review
Falling in step with T-Pain and Kanye West, The E.N.D. proffers a vision of retro futurism in which the sparkling electronics and club beats of the 1980s are recast as the sound of the present. From the squirmy disco of "Rock That Body" and "Meet Me Halfway" to the New Wave revivalism of "I Gotta Feeling" and "Alive," The E.N.D. is the most focused Black Eyed Peas album since their debut, Behind the Front. The band has moved past the mish mash of influences that pervaded Elephunk. Instead they remain squarely situated within a neon panorama, a place where Prince, Madonna, and Flashdance reign supreme. Daft Punk are an obvious touchstone, especially "Missing You" and "Rockin to the Beat," although "Imma Be," "Alive," and "Electric City" are resolutely rap — Daft Punk as reimagined for Young Jeezy. While nothing on here is as poppy as "Let's Get It Started" or "Where Is the Love?" tracks like "Boom Boom Pow," "Now Generation," and "Ring-a-Ling" have the same unstoppable catchiness that made a sensation of Fergie's breakout hit "My Humps."
Customer Reviews
The E.N.D..... Rocks
Ok to start off, The Black Eyed Peas experimented with something really unusual and it worked great! The Hook that was Boom Boom Pow gave you a taste of what they are... Somewhere I read that Fergie said "We've always been kind of misfits, and so it kind of fits. The song is to the left, but it works, because we're being true to ourselves." Their theme is Futuristic and Electronic. Overall production was great and original. The Autotune FX was used accordingly and not overused like I have thought. Meet Me Halfway was one of the best in this Album (Pump It Harder in the Deluxe Version) in my opinion. This Album IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY SO NO HATE. Don't hate on the members nor say that this is crap. If you don't have the Set to review the way I did, keep it to yourself cuz they ain't helpful.

Stem cells were first discovered in the early part of the 20th century when scientists observed that certain cells could give rise to blood cells. Since then a lot of progress have been made. Three unique properties characterized the nature of stem cells:
First, stem cells have the unique capability to divide or self-replicate for a long period of time.
Second, they are unspecialized in the sense that they do not have the tissue-specific structure for performing specialized function.
Third, under the right physiological conditions, stem cells can develop into other cell types which make up the living organism.
In other words, stem cells carry the intrinsic potential to develop into a variety of cells for specialized functions, for example, cells in the heart tissue, or the nerve cells.

text: The instant we met Brianna & Eric, we felt like we had known them forever. They are just so down-to-earth and cool like that. We were so glad we had a chance to hang out more during their engagement session along St. Anthony Main. They are planning their wedding reception at a local art museum, and have some fun ideas for using picture frames throughout their wedding branding. We had a little fun with an empty frame during their session and took some fun and crazy photos which will no doubt make an appearance at the museum! These two are both so creative and amazing–we absolutely cannot wait to see all of their ideas unfold next summer!

The History of GPPHLI
The Great Plains Public Health Leadership Institute (GPPHLI) began in 2005 as an initiative of The Nebraska Educational Alliance for Public Health Impact (NEAPHI)—a group of representatives from numerous academic and practice organizations concerned with Nebraska's public health workforce training and education who explored joint interests. Initial funding for GPPHLI came from the Nebraska Health and Human Services System's Health Care Cash Fund, Robert Wood Johnson, and the University of Iowa's Upper Midwest Public Health Training and Upper Midwest Public Health Preparedness Centers.
Since its inception, GPPHLI has trained nearly 150 professionals in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota who care about the future of the public's health. Currently residing within the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Public Health, the GPPHLI is entering its ninth year of providing leadership development for a broad cohort of stakeholders from governmental public health, to insurance companies, from community health centers to civic and elected leaders.

how come gas is 3.95 in town but if you drive only 17.3 miles it is only 3.79. I know its only 16 cents but its the same company and probaly the same truck that brings it. It takes 15 gallons to fill my car so that means I can fill my car for $56 instead of $59 thats an extra gallon of milk I can buy for the family. Yes I know it will take gas to get there and back but its the principle of the thing and they preach shop local.

Ciliegiolo is a red grape variety of central and north-western Italy, something of an obscurity in recent decades but now undergoing a renaissance in Liguria and its spiritual home, Tuscany. It is now used increasingly in the red wines of several western Italian DOCs including Chianti, Colli di Luni, and the lesser-known Montecarlo, Colline di Levanto, Golfo di Tigullio and Val Polcevera. The number of varietal IGT wines made from Ciliegiolo has increased considerably since 2000.
... moreMarche IGT is the region-wide IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) title used in the Marche region of eastern central Italy.
Some IGT titles cover quite specific wine styles from specific areas. Others cover whole provinces or even regions, as is the case with Marche IGT. Every commune in the region's four provinces (Ancona, Ascoli Piceno, Fermo and Macerata e Pesaro Urbino) is covered, and may produce Marche IGT wine.
Perhaps obviously, given the appellation's broad, catch-all nature (and the large area it spans), it covers a wide range of styles. The basic forms are the three key wine colors – bianco (white), rosato (rosé) and rosso (red) – but beyond ... more
