HIDALGO – Sharyland Pioneer sophomore quarterback Alec García scored twice, including a 95-yard TD run from scrimmage, to lead the Diamondbacks to a 21—10 inaugural season-opening victory over Hidalgo on Friday at Bill Pate Stadium.
"It's exciting, it's a starting point. I felt that we matched up pretty well," said Pioneer first-year head coach Jason Wheeler. "We got some things we've got to correct, but anytime you get a win and you're a young program, it's huge on confidence and you can almost tighten up a bit more now. When you get a tough loss, it's harder to get after them so much and we're going to learn from this."
"We got a lot of work to do, but I saw some things," he added. "We stood up defensively a lot there and kept them out of the end zone real well. Alec García, our speed guy, we put him back there at quarterback and he really gave us a spark there in the first half, and that really helped."

As the rains let up and a double rainbow appeared in the eastern sky the Veterans Memorial Patriots and the Mission Eagles took to the newly turfed field at Tom Landry Stadium for the most recent chapter in their long-running cross-town rivalry. With the Eagles having won the last three matchups between the two sister schools it was the Patriots turn to emerge as the victors as Coach David Gilpin's team pulled off a 14-7 come-from-behind victory much to the pleasure of the boisterous Patriots' fans that filled the visitors' side bleachers.
It was the Eagles who drew first blood when MHS starting quarterback Jesus Cuellar completed a 38 yard touchdown pass to David Flores with 6:40 left in the first quarter. Cuellar, who connected on his first eight passes on the night, completed nine of 12 passes for 104 yards and one touchdown in the first half. Flores caught four passes for 64 yards and rushed 10 times for 27 yards on the night.
The Patriots scored their first points of the 2014 season when senior quarterback Santos Villarreal connected with John Garcia for a 10 yard touchdown pass with 1:31 remaining on the clock in the first half. The point-after-attempt failed which gave the Eagles a 7-6 lead at the intermission.

Tom Landry Stadium will be rocking tonight as the Veterans Memorial Patriots and the Mission Eagles face off on the gridiron for their annual head-to-head, east side versus west side matchup. While the Eagles and the Patriots have met on the football field many times before, tonight's contest will be unlike any other Eagles-Patriots game. Not necessarily as a result of the play on the field but definitely due to the look and feel of the game due to its surroundings.
As fans of both teams will certainly notice as soon as they've made their way up one of the ramps and emerged from under the bleachers, the natural grass is gone and brand new artificial turf has been installed. In addition, a new state-of-the-art track encircles the field, a new fieldhouse has been erected on the west end of the field, a new Eagle sculpture and Patriot sculpture have been erected at Tom Landry Stadium.
With all the improvements the stadium has undergone, the Patriots now having a sculpture they can call their own and with tonight's contest being a non-district game for the first time in three years, this matchup has all the makings of being a celebration of the community of Mission coming together.

The bat signal was on at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission Saturday evening.
Bats were the topic of discussion during the most recent edition of the park's Creatures of the Night interpretive program.
With 11 different species calling the Rio Grande Valley home, helping the public better understand these underappreciated–and oftentimes feared–winged creatures of the night that make up the second largest order of mammals in the world was the program's goal. Led by Park Ranger and Interpreter Roy Rodriguez and Jesus Franco, assistant coordinator of the Rio Grande Joint Venture (a conservation partnership), Saturday's program began with a PowerPoint presentation featuring the "A, B, Cs" of bats followed by an outdoor demonstration of the process biologists use to document vital information about them. Information that includes, but is not limited, to their species, sex, measurements, weight and overall health.

Projected revenues for 2015 were increased from $172 million to $176 million in the third budget workshop held by Hidalgo County Commissioners Court.
At the same time, Budget Director Sergio Cruz decreased the projected shortfall from $16 million to a projected shortfall of only $35,548. At the last workshop, Cruz suggested reducing operating expenditures, the amount of money set aside for indigent health care and COPS grant employees to save $9 million.
Wednesday, Cruz found $7.5 million in additional revenues to cut the shortfall even more. Additional revenues include $2 million for the sanitation permit, $500,000 from a land sale, $2 million from salary savings, and $1 million each from third party collection, lapsed operating expenditures and additional revenue.

Aware of the need for lighting in parking lots for safety and the need for additional beautification of parking lots, the Mission City Council approved changes in ordinances regarding city policies of both at a Monday meeting.
Lighting plans for parking lots will be examined whenever a building permit is sought for safety against vandalism, theft and assault, and for the convenience and comfort of the user.
Levels of lighting will be regulated to provide sufficient lighting but not cause interference on public thoroughfares or encroach on the privacy of occupants of adjacent buildings. The plan must show the types and heights of the lights to be used, which must provide illumination at 10-foot intervals.

A cross section of economic indicators in Mission are showing that the city is bouncing back from the recession with steady growth, job creation, stronger retails sales and more residential construction.
Through the first half of 2014, unemployment is down over last year and has dropped to its lowest point on average since 2008. Mission's retail stores and restaurants are humming this year and the city stands to have its biggest year yet for retail. On construction, residential building is a bright spot and through the first six months, it's the busiest in three years.
The Mission Economic Development Corporation and the City of Mission have worked together for years to draw more business to the city and to grow from within. In 2014, MEDC CEO Alex Meade, said that "as the economy begins to turnaround, businesses are seeking to expand".

There were tears from both students and parents Monday as schools in the area welcomed them in for the first day of class.
La Joya Independent School District is one of few districts in the area to offer full-time pre-kindergarten programs, and some of the youngest students at Camarena Elementary weren't quite ready for their parents to leave.
The first day of the school is the only morning parents are allowed on campus to visit their children's classrooms before school, and Principal Mary Lily Garza said everything was running smoothly as she ushered parents out of the building at 8:15 Monday.

At first glance, the La Joya Coyotes had an extremely disappointing 2013 season. With their only win being a non-district 64-0 thrashing of Brownsville Porter, the Coyotes went on to lose eight straight games en route to a 1-9 season.
While it has been said that numbers never lie, they can be deceptive. And according to La Joya head football coach George Espinoza that is the case when it comes to the team's 2013 record.
"Last year we knew going into the season that we were very young," explained Espinoza. "Therefore as a staff we decided that what we needed to do was to give our young players some experience. We had a lot of sophomores that got thrown into the mix right away and they had to grow up."

The Hidalgo County Commissioners Court authorized administrators to advertise for architects with extensive experience in the design, construction, and related services of judicial and courthouse facilities.
There was no discussion on the proposed new courthouse, only an approval of the request for qualifications.
Alex Palacios, of Prodigy Engineering, told the court the construction manager for the new Hidalgo County Administration Building is asking for two additional weeks to complete the project. Palacios did not give a date for final completion.

Wolfram Alpha has huge potential, but it would be useful if it would be integrated with a dictionary so that it could derive the meaning of scientific terms from the word's roots.
I was looking up the term for an organism that can live both in fresh water and in saltwater (a wide range of salinities). After some browsing, Wikipedia yielded the answer: euryhaline (eury=wide, broad, hal=salt). Here the roots of the word are Greek, but many scientific terms are a mix of Latin and Greek.
It would be nice if there was a way to submit and check dictionary definitions, which are not 'facts', as such.
And WA needs a _lot_ more data about biology!

I share the same concern. I am a biologist and it is odd to me that there is not a biology section to this website yet. I would love to type in "American Mistletoe" and it show me the scientific name and other things such as demographics for the species and what it is commonly used for even a picture would be great. Hopefully, Wolfram will soon add on and quickly come up with some helpful items for biologist and ecologist.

The specification of Wolfram alpha requires the words it uses to be curated in order that they be computable. So what you ask for is already a requirement. Perhaps this has been overlooked. Wolfram Alpha is a front end for Mathematica plus a database from a computing point of view. The Mathematica language is definitely computable. It remains to make sure that the Wolfram Alpha database is also computable.
So it is not just scientific terms that need defining in computable terms but every word in the WA database.

It happens every January.
People make New Year's resolutions to "get fit," and flow into the gym to fulfill them.
At the McCormick YMCA in Logan Square, they know the trick is to keep those resolutions from melting with the snow.
Falling off the wagon is not just a personal disappointment; the price of treating illness related to obesity is now higher than the healthcare costs of smoking.
Prices that Chicago may pay as it suffers some staggering numbers obesity related illness.
Childhood obesity in Chicago is more than twice the national average, and two thirds of adults are overweight or obese, the same as the national average.
But there are extremes.
"In this community, Logan Square, Humboldt Park, Hermosa, we have the highest diabetes and obesity rates in the country. three and four times the national average," Executive director of the McCormick Tribune YMCA, Stephen Vick said.
"While we still have a significant problem we're starting to see some elements of hope," Chicago Health Commissioner Dr. Bechara Choucair said.
Chicago's Health Commissioner says fitness is a top priority.
That's why the city is working to bring recess back to public schools, to get sugary snacks out of vending machines and to put more butts on more bikes and give them more lanes for pedaling.
The public campaign seems to be paying off.
"Between 2003 and 2013, the obesity rates for kids entering kindergarten at CPS has decreased by 20 percent. what that means is a thousand kids are entering kindergarten at a healthier weight," Dr. Choucair said.
"It's not just about coming and working out, but changing your habits on a daily basis, [and] changing what you do week to week. Let's put an apple in their hand, and a water, instead of a Pepsi and a Cheetos," Vick said.
"If you start losing weight you're less likely to have high blood pressure, less likely to develop diabetes," Dr. Choucair said.
So it may be cliché, but this is one new years pledge worth keeping.
"I stuck with it two years, doing Zumba mostly, um 45 pounds I lost. And so I love Zumba so much I started teaching. You just feel stronger and healthier, it's not all about the scale," Zumba teacher Amanda Schultz said.
Amanda's success started with a New Years resolution in 2012.
Just about everybody wants to be fit and healthy. As a nation, we spent more than $22 billion on health club memberships last year.
The "Y" has jumped into that field in recent years, with one big difference: it's not for profit, and if you prove you can't afford the membership, they don't turn you away.
To help people stay on track, the YMCA is offering an open fitness fair. Visit their website to learn more.

Stamford police are searching for two suspects who allegedly dropped an automatic handgun loaded with illegal ammo Saturday morning, authorities said Monday.
According to police, two officers on patrol just after midnight Friday spotted what police called "two suspicious males" hanging out on the 200 block of Greenwich Ave.
Police said when they exited the vehicle to speak with the males, both of the suspects took off running. Police said they recovered at the scene an automatic pistol loaded with hollow-point ammunition, which is illegal to own for everyone except law enforcement.
Descriptions of the suspects were unavailable.
Stamford Arrests
Juan Jose Avila, 34, of Cantwell Ave., charged Sunday morning with third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree assault, disorderly conduct and three counts risk of injury to a child.
Justin Nicholas Brunco, 33, of Pacific St., charged Sunday morning with sixth-degree larceny.
Steven Patrick Cesare, 56, of Bridge St., charged Sunday night with third-degree assault and second-degree threatening.
Rosa Albania Delos-Angeles, 36, of Lockwood Ave., charged Sunday night with disorderly conduct and refusing fingerprinting.
Marvin Martinez-Guitierez, 31, of Chestnut St., charged early Sunday with second-degree breach of peace and interfering with an officer/resisting.
Jorge Luis Murillo, 31, of Bridgeport Correctional Facility in Bridgeport, charged failure to pay or plead to an infraction.
Keith Allen Norberg, 30, of Proctor Rd. in Biddeford, ME, charged Sunday evening with second-degree larceny.
Jerlin Palma-Cato, 27, of Seaside Ave., charged Sunday morning with disorderly conduct.
Janusz Ratynski, 50, of Hope St., charged Monday morning with illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under suspension and traffic control signals.

They got lucky however that both Cohen and Slutskaya made mistakes. With similar jumping content, it's also a testament to Arakawa's superiority to Suguri that Arakawa could win it but Suguri still had to settle for 4th behind the other 2 mistakes-ridden medallists.

To the surprise of nobody except Justin Verlander and his biggest fans, Wednesday the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced that Tampa Bay Rays left-hander David Price is the winner of the American League Cy Young Award.
It was incredibly close, though; aside from the American League tie in 1969, this was the closest Cy Young balloting in the award's history. Price got 13 first-place votes and 153 points, and Verlander got 12 first-place votes and 149 points. Price was listed first or second on 27 ballots, and third on the other; Verlander was listed first or second on 26 ballots, and third on the other two. Coincidentally (or bizarrely), both of the ballots listing Verlander third were submitted by writers covering the Angels, and both ballots were the same:
1. David Price
2. Jered Weaver
3. Justin Verlander
With due respect to No. 3 finisher Weaver, this was a two-man race.
Who did you like more? David Price's 20 wins in the tough American League East? Or Justin Verlander's modest edge in strikeout-to-walk ratio and big edge in innings pitched? Because their ERA's were virtually the same, and while Verlander pitched for a postseason team and Price didn't, the Rays actually won more games than the Tigers (which isn't going to help Mike Trout against Miguel Cabrera, but the "playoffs bonus" isn't nearly as large for Cy Young candidates as for MVP candidates).
Those are the easy arguments, boiled down about as far as we can boil them down.
Or rather, about as far as most of the Cy Young voters were likely to boil them down. At best.
As Dave Cameron points out, though, there were more reasons to prefer Verlander. Comerica Park is friendlier than Tropicana Field to hitters. Price had a significantly better defense behind him. Oh, and it's really hard to ignore the fact that Verlander finished with 27 more innings than Price; that's three complete games' worth of innings!
Weaver finished third in the balloting -- but without a single first-place vote -- because he went 20-5 and sported the third-best ERA in the league (behind Price and Verlander). We've known he was going to finish third since last week when the three Cy Young finalists were announced. And considering his strikeout-to-walk ratio, third is charitable.
Felix Hernandez finished fourth, which is impressive considering his 13-9 record. And fifth was Rays closer Fernando Rodney, whose 0.60 ERA was the lowest in major-league history among pitchers with at least 50 innings. If you want to dive in even deeper, here's the complete balloting.

Ex-councillor will only have to pay £5 back after £154k fraud
4:34pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News By Joe Nimmo, Senior reporter. Call me on (01865) 425373
DISGRACED Tory councillor John Morgan will only have to pay back £5 of more than £154,000 he stole from an elderly Alzheimer's sufferer.
At a confiscation hearing today at Oxford Crown Court a barrister for the Crown Prosecution Service said because his wife was awarded their £250,000 home in divorce proceedings the pensioner has no remaining assets.
Alan Blake, prosecuting, said it was with "regret" that the CPS had decided it could not oppose civil court proceedings which had ruled the house should belong to Morgan's wife.
Recorder Patrick Hamlin said in light of the prosecution's decision the former Wantage and Vale of White Horse councillor would have 28 days to pay a nominal sum of £5.

Can I ask about the 6D sharpness compared to the 5D3? Is it just the slightly higher pixel density of the 5D3 or do you think there is another factor in play?
You can discover this yourself by downloading any raw files with fine details yourself, use the dpreview widget http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canon-eos-6d/11 or look at this comparison: http://www.etherpilot.com/photo/test/misc/6d_5d3_d600.jpg
The difference is not big enough to make a difference for me, but it is visible. The best test I know concerning the resolution differences is on the German site traumflieger.de - look for the 6d review video.
From what I've read and seen for myself this is not only due to the lower resolution of the 6d, but because Canon applies more forced noise reduction to the 6d raw files - look at the strong chroma noise on the 5d3 in black areas, it's nearly completely gone on the 6d but at a loss of sharpness.
To put it another way: If you downsize the 5d3 files to 6d resolution and apply strong chroma and mild luma nr until the sharpness matches the 6d it's a wash except for a slight luma noise advantage of the 6d @same iso: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=11279.msg202164#msg202164

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
• "I was surprised the Patriots did not address the receiver position in the draft. The offense was not the same without Randy Moss. I would guess they have a plan to address the position once the league opens. If you look at who is out there, there are a couple guys that would make a lot of sense. Bill (Belichick) could help Chad Ochocinco the way he did Corey Dillon. That guy (Ochocinco) is goofy — he is way out there — but Bill could get him to blend in. (Bengals GM) Mike Brown has to trade him or fire him. He'll be gone when the season starts. (Jets WR) Santonio Holmes would look good in New England. Sidney Rice would fit the bill, but with the new rules, he might not be able to go anywhere. (Panthers WR) Steve Smith would be great in New England. He could stretch the field. There are going to be some good options out there."
• "In the old days, there was minicamp and then you would not see players again until training camp. The only way players get better is to play. Running around in shorts does not do anything for me. There is no contact. The only groups OTAs really help are the quarterback and receivers getting their timing and routes in rhythm. The rules were changed for offensive and defensive linemen years ago — they are not allowed to go one-on-one. I can't tell you how many players look like they are all-world until the pads come on."
• "Everyone gave 'Tags' (Paul Tagliabue) and (former NFLPA president Gene) Upshaw a lot of crap for being too chummy, but they saw the big picture. If you go back to the last deal, the mistake the owners made is that they were so worried about the basement, they did not focus at all on the ceiling. Players did not expect the growth to be as big as it was. That is where they made the mistake."
• "Owners are making money right now. There are a lot of players that had offseason workout bonuses from $750k to $1 million. That is money saved. Teams start working out in April and teams have to feed them breakfast and lunch. There are costs for chiropractors and masseuses. You are looking at a potential savings of $5 million to $10 million per club in cost savings with no OTAs and no roster bonuses. Plus, a lot of employees have taken pay reductions. If you are an owner, why would you settle now? I know there are owners that do not want to be on the hook for offseason bonuses. At a minimum, I think this goes into July. Owners are making money while they are negotiating with players. Once the lockout gets into July, owners will start taking a hit. That's when I think you'll see a real urgency to get a deal done. The question is — how much will the owners have alienated the players at that point because of all the real money they cost them? That's where negotiations could get ugly."
• "All of the owners hate DeMaurice Smith. He's playing goalie now. He keeps saying he has an ace up his sleeve. He's not telling anyone what it is, but I think it is (President Barack) Obama. They are not at a breaking point yet, but that could change quickly."
• "The quality about (Vikings 12th overall pick) Christian Ponder that could justify drafting him early is he will be ready quickly. That's why he played better than any other quarterback at the Senior Bowl. He gets it. And if he has weapons around him, he could be very good for that offense."
• "If Andy Reid thought Kevin Kolb was so good, why would he be trading him? He knows quarterbacks. Good quarterbacks don't get traded when they are young by good coaches."
• "Did anyone wonder why Denver passed on Marcell Dareus? What you have to remember — one of John Fox's best friends is (former Panthers DL coach) Sal Sunsieri. He coaches (linebackers) for Alabama now. Fox took the best pass rusher and emphasized how he will be able to contribute on every down. He did not think (Dareus) would be a three-down player. … (Buffalo GM) Buddy Nix apparently did. Or maybe he just missed it, like the huge mistake he made giving the oldest right tackle in the league (ORT Cornell Green) a lot of money. How well did that work out? About as good as flipping to a '30' defense and moving all of their best players out of position. Buddy knows how to fool (owner Ralph) Wilson."
• "When you have five Pro Bowlers on your defense, anyone can be a great coach, but can you keep the team competitive when Pro Bowlers are not there? When you compare (former Eagles defensive coordinators) Jim Johnson vs. Sean McDermott, you have to keep that in mind. The great coaches can keep a team competitive when the Pro Bowlers are not there. Not many can do it."

Cardiac catheterizations are procedures in which tiny equipment is inserted into the body through a catheter (tube), which is usually inserted through a large blood vessel at the top of the thigh. Once inside, the physician performing the procedure guides the catheter to the heart, watching the process on a monitor. Some patients require catheterization as a diagnostic tool, often in preparation for surgery. More frequently, though, cardiac catheterization is used to correct a wide range of heart defects.
Team members in the cardiac catheterization lab also provide electrophysiology services, which help diagnose and treat disturbances in heart rhythms. During an electrophysiology study, a specially trained pediatric cardiac specialist will induce an arrhythmia--a disturbance in the electrical activity in the heart--in order to diagnose the source of the problem, evaluate the effectiveness of medicines being used to treat heart rhythm disorders, or assess the need for surgeries or other treatments. Sometimes, treatment can begin immediately while the patient is still in the cath lab.
Children's has the only cath lab in Minnesota designed for children. The technology and equipment in the lab was specifically selected for treating young patients, whose bodies vary much more than adults' bodies in size and weight and whose cardiac conditions manifest very differently than adults' do. The cath lab is built to operating-room specifications. While rare, a catheterization patient's condition may require that physicians quickly initiate surgery without moving the patient. The technology of the cath lab allows heart surgeons to watch the procedures, especially higher-risk ones, from a variety of portable monitors. These features help optimize quality of care.
The cath lab is located near the pediatric intensive care unit at Children's - Minneapolis.

News: C-Murder's Fatal Shooting Trial Delay Denied, Judge Refuses To Postpone
Tuesday, Jul 21, 2009 1:20PM
Incarcerated rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller's recent request to have next month's fatal shooting trial postponed has reportedly been denied.
The decision was made yesterday (July 20) afternoon.
A Louisiana judge has refused to postpone next month's trial. Prosecutors wanted a delay so they could investigate a claim by another man that he killed the teenager. Judge Hans Liljeberg ruled Monday that prosecutors have less than two weeks to investigate allegations raised by Miller's attorney that Juan Flowers killed Steve Thomas on Jan. 12, 2002. (Newsday)
The judge said his decision was in part due to having previously postponed the trial.
But Liljeberg, who inherited Miller's case in January, said he has twice postponed the trial and noted he was ready to try it on Jan. 12, the date that was set before he became the presiding judge. "I wanted to go to trial with it that Monday, " Liljeberg said. (The Times-Picayune)
Miller associate Juan Flowers recently confessed to the fatal shooting charge which C-Murder faces.
Three weeks before Miller is retried on a murder charge, Flowers has admitted he was the shooter in a Harvey nightclub seven years ago that left a teenager dead, Miller's attorney said. Prosecutors, however, said Flowers, who was with Miller at the Platinum Club on Jan. 12, 2002, denied he and the rapper were involved in Steve Thomas' killing. Miller's attorney, Ron Rakosky, wants Flowers transported from Smith State Prison in Glenville, Georgia, to testify in Miller's trial, records show. "Juan Edwin Flowers has stated under oath that it was he who fired the shot which killed Steve Thomas," Rakosky wrote in the July 3 request. "His testimony is therefore relevant and he is a material witness." (NOLA News)
Currently incarcerated, C-Murder pleaded "no contest" to attempted murder charges in a separate case earlier this year.
Rapper C-Murder has pleaded no contest to two counts of attempted second-degree murder. In the plea agreement, C-Murder, whose real name is Corey Miller, will be sentenced by the judge to 10 years in prison. The formal sentencing will be August 25th. (WAFB News)

A South Dakota fugitive who had been on the run for more than 15 years was captured by federal and local authorities while working in a yard in Mesa on Tuesday.
Deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service and members and task force officers from the Tempe Police Department arrested Steven Charles Durant without incident at the East Mesa home.
Durant was wanted for escaping from a transition center in South Dakota in 1997. He was using an assumed name at the time of his capture, according to a U.S. Marshals Service news release.
Durant was convicted in federal court in South Dakota in 1991 on charges related to the unlawful possession and transfer of automatic weapons, according to the release.
He was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison and ordered to report to a community transition center upon his release. Durant did, but escaped soon after, according to the release.
He eluded authorities until deputies in South Dakota developed information that Durant was in Mesa.
Durant was arrested while doing yard work at the Mesa home, said David P. Gonzales, U.S. Marshal for Arizona.
Durant was in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service in Arizona awaiting extradition.

FS Taylor Mays
USC senior
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 236 | 40-time: 4.45 (estimated)
Upside: Looks every bit the part with a chiseled frame that could pass for Superman — has an imposing physical presence with rare size, outstanding musculature and very little body fat. Excellent timed speed and range. Very good leaping ability. Has the speed to carry tight ends down the field. Delivers some knockout shots when he has a clear lane. Rare measurables — freakish height-weight-speed ratio.
Downside: Takes too much time to read and process what he sees — average instincts and anticipation. Questionable downfield ball skills — too often is in position to make plays on the ball and plays the man instead. Takes poor angles. A bit leggy and straight-linish — loses some quickness in transition and rounds out of some breaks. Not a face-up tackler and struggles in space. Very marginal production on the ball for a four-year starter. Lacks the toughness desired to transition to linebacker.
The way we see it: A rare physical specimen with explosive striking ability, Mays is perhaps the most physically and athletically gifted safety to emerge from the college ranks, but he misses too many tackles, misplays too many balls and misdiagnoses too many plays for a team to feel comfortable selecting him in the top 15.

Farmall 100/130
Are there any cosmetic differences between a farmall 100 and 130 other than paint and emblems? I am going to look at a tractor and its either a 100 or 130 but the 100/130 emblems are missing and its painted yellow (industrial) and the serial tag is worn. Thanks
Re: Farmall 100/130
No. Check the date codes and get the engine number.
Re: Farmall 100/130
Check my post below titled: "Engine Serial Number Help", a few of those notes should still be helpful. Also will attach a few photos to help ID the different manifolds. These are not the best angles for viewing but all I could find at the moment, so rather than looking for the curve of the runners, in these views note the large square casting connecting the intake and exhaust runners on the early manifold vs the 3 thin ribs on the later manifold. Also note the distance between the lower runner and the carb on the two manifolds, the later manifold looks like the carb is much closer.

PHS rally falls short in hockey
PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh High School Hornets dug themselves out of a big hole Monday night, but couldn't finish the deal as Northwood School scored with 4:26 to play to come away with a 5-4 victory in hockey action at Ameri-Can North Sports Centre.
"It was a tale of two halves," PHS Coach Jamie Reidy said. "We got everything we deserved the first period. We were lacking in everything — energy, skills, concentration …"
Eli Kinsman, Noah Wild and Matt Edwards all scored to give the visiting Huskies a 3-0 lead after one period. Pierre Laffitte extended the lead to four goals early in the second, before PHS finally got untracked.
Eric Bechard broke through at 5:17 and then the Hornets responded with three goals in the first nine minutes of the third to tie it at four. Jack Tolosky, who also picked up two assists on the night, connected at 1:05, John Anthony Fine-Lease tallied at 3:51 and then Andrew Bechard tied it with an unassisted tally at 8:45.
"An eighth-grader, Andrew Bechard, and our freshman goalie, Giancarlo Ventre, led us back," Reidy added. "They were outstanding."
But Northwood's Ian Nathan thwarted the PHS comeback with a goal at 10:34 and the Huskies held on for the victory.
Ventre finished with 39 saves while Northwood tender Bradley Stone stopped 18 shots.
"I was not happy with our start, but I was happy with the second half of the game," Reidy continued. "It was important for us to rebound with a big game on Friday."
Plattsburgh High will take on Beekmantown at 7 p.m. at AC-North with the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference championship on the line.
Northwood 5, Plattsburgh High 4
Northwood School 3 1 1 — 5

Saranac Lake 4, Saranac 1
PLATTSBURGH — Grant Strack recorded a hat trick and Nicholas Bayruns added a goal and an assist to lead the Red Storm to victory.
Strack's second goal, just 56 seconds into the third period, broke a 1-1 tie. He completed his hat trick two minutes later and then Bayruns added an insurance goal midway through the period.
"We had some defensive zone breakdowns that hurt us. We couldn't get out of our own end at times," Saranac Coach Ed Davis said.
Strack opened the scoring 2:31 into the second period, but Kyle Erickson knotted it for Saranac at 7:59.

fundraising effectiveness
How to Calculate the Cost of Fundraising
There is an analysis I wish every nonprofit leader would do which could transform how the sector is financed. If more nonprofit leaders took a step back and calculated the cost of fundraising, in all the various ways that they raise money, they could focus their efforts on the most effective activities. And stop pursuing things that exhaust their board and staff.
If nonprofit leaders understood the net revenue and cost to raise a dollar of every fundraising activity they engage in they could answer questions like:
- How much does that gala really get us?
- How effective is our direct mail campaign?
- How does it compare with our email campaign?
- Would it make sense to cancel our annual event and hire a major donor fundraiser instead?
- Should we keep writing that government grant?
The Social Velocity on demand webinar "Financing Not Fundraising: Calculating the Cost of Fundraising" will help you answer these (and more) questions.
I asked for audience participation prior to the webinars. When people registered for this webinar, I asked them to submit some numbers from one of their past fundraising activities (an event, a direct mail piece, a foundation grant) so that I could calculate the fundraising costs of a couple of participants during the webinar.

CSC wrestlers to warm up this weekend
The Chadron State wrestling team will return to action Friday and Saturday during a busy weekend in the Phoenix area.
The Eagles are slated to dual Embry-Riddle on Friday and then participate in the Grand Canyon University duals on Saturday.
The opponents on Saturday will include the host Antelopes, along with Minot State of North Dakota, California Baptist and Simon Fraser of British Columbia.
CSC coach Brett Hunter noted Grand Canyon is ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division II and Cal Baptist is ranked first in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association that is made up of non-NCAA programs.
Hunter said 14 Eagles will make the trip. Two starters at the beginning of the season, C.J. Clark at 149 pounds and Bret Klopp at 174, will not go because of leg injuries. Clark is out for the season and Klopp may not return until at least mid-January, the coach said.
Both Grand Canyon and Simon Fraser will be among the teams competing in the NCAA Super Region 4 Championships that Chadron State will host Feb. 22-23.
Grand Canyon is moving up to Division I next year, when Cal Baptist will come into the region, Hunter said.

Time for what's trending at 5:30...
One man's fight with a 230 pound Ahi in Hawaii nearly cost him his life.
The large tuna was so big it capsized fisherman Anthony Wichman's 14 foot boat.
Wichman was initially caught in the line and dragged under water.
He freed himself, called his wife, who then called the coast guard.
After the rescue, Wichman's friends came to retrieve the boat... and noticed the fish was still on the line!
They reeled it in and towed it back to shore along with the boat.
That is actually Wichman's friends pictured.

You may have heard the saying, "A woman's hair is her crown" Well, losing that crown, often strips a woman of self-esteem and can drastically change her life. One area group is helping give girls and women their lives back.
"This client here she got burned when she was 2 years old," explains Christal Mercier as she shows amazing before and after pictures of women she has come to the rescue for.
A bald head on a woman or a girl can be more like a billboard that screams "Look at me. I'm sick". Donna Bates who recently lost her hair after cancer treatment says she's sick of all the stares and getting "treated like a sick person" because she doesn't have hair. Bates says she's thankful not to get "the cancer looks anymore."
It all started for Mercier when her sister was battling breast cancer and lost her hair to chemotherapy. She watched her sister's self-confidence go away as well. "My sister was vibrant. She did modeling shows, first black to model Jordache jeans. She was an Ebony Fashion Fair model and then when she began to lose her hair she became very inward and depressed," Mercier explains.
Mercier made up a wig for her sister and watched her come back to life. "You can be sick and you don't have to look it. It's just about rebuilding confidence and restoring self-esteem," Mercier says wiping away tears.
Her sister lost her battle with cancer but now Christal creates natural looking weaves and wigs for women who are ill. "I find people that are broken and have a feeling of hopelessness". Mercier started a non-profit group called Hair Dreams by Christal and donates the specially designed hair pieces to women who can't buy it. "It is custom made. It's like if someone loses an arm, leg or an eye. They can get a prosthetic arm, leg or an eye. Well, I do a cranial prosthesis for the head. It fits like a glove," says Mercier.
"It has made a big difference in my life," says 46-year-old Cindy Juarez who began losing her hair ten years ago. "First they thought it was because I was exposed to toxic mold at one point. Then they weren't sure. Nobody could ever give me a complete diagnosis," explains Juarez. She didn't want to wear an unnatural looking wig. So she would comb her hair over trying to hide the bald spot. "I noticed I didn't take as many pictures or wanted my picture taken as much," says Juarez.
Now she has a head full of hair, thanks to Hair Dreams by Christal. "It has given me back some self-confidence, some self-esteem that I didn't know that I did not have," says Juarez.
The hair Christal creates lasts 9 to 18 months. You can shampoo it, curl it, style it. She works off of donations, fundraisers and sometimes pays for the hair herself. She uses the good stuff, so the hair can cost up to $1,200. "You are blessed to be a blessing and I don't ever not want to give back," says Mercier. You can find her at www.hairdreamsbychristal.org.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Supreme Court let stand a newly drawn state legislative map Tuesday in a defeat for Democrats.
In a 4-3 ruling, the divided high court upheld the map approved last year on grounds that Ohio's Constitution does not require political neutrality in the process.
Democrats, who brought the challenge on behalf of a group of voters, had argued the five-member Ohio Apportionment Board intentionally sought political advantage with the maps as prohibited in the constitution, in a maneuver known as gerrymandering.
Republicans in the case argued the state constitution asks the map-drawing board to consider minimizing county, township, city and precinct splits but sets no absolute rule.
The court ruled that opponents of the maps didn't present convincing evidence the Republican-controlled apportionment board manipulated the districts for GOP political gain.
"The role of a supreme court in considering constitutional challenges to an apportionment plan is restricted to determining whether relators have met their burden to prove that the plan adopted by the board is unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt," Justice Terrence O'Donnell wrote for the majority.
In his dissent, Justice Paul Pfeifer said the Constitution does not set the stringent proof standard perceived by the majority.
"In order to justify its finding of constitutionality, the majority opinion expresses two conclusions of questionable legitimacy; these anchors of the majority opinion fail the tests of logic and fairness," he wrote. "First the majority opinion erects a nearly insurmountable barrier to a successful constitutional challenge by assigning to the board's actions a blanket presumption of constitutionality and requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt to establish that the plan fails to meet all constitutional requirements.
Pfeifer went on, "Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is typically necessary only in criminal cases. Such a high burden of proof in the current constitutional matter turns this court into a rubber stamp, not the guardian of the constitution that it is designed to be."
O'Donnell was joined in the majority by justices Judith Ann Lanzinger, Robert Cupp and John Willamowski, sitting in for Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, who had recused herself for unstated reasons.
Pfiefer, Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, and Justice Yvette McGee Brown, the court's only Democrat, dissented. O'Connor signed both Pfeifer's and McGee Brown's dissenting opinions.
Besides the proof burden, the majority cited limits in the court's ability to judge legislative maps.
"This court does not sit as a super apportionment board to determine whether a plan presented by the relators is better than the plan adopted by the board," O'Donnell wrote. "Instead, we determine whether the board acted within the broad discretion conferred upon it by the provisions of (the Constitution) when it adopted its plan."
Ohio, like other states, redraws its congressional and legislative maps once every decade to reflect population shift records in the U.S. Census.
The litigation says the latest state legislative map of 99 House and 33 Senate districts split cities, counties and other community units more than 250 times. Democrats said a more neutral map was possible that split only 30, rather than 50, of Ohio's 88 counties.
The Apportionment Board was made up of the governor, secretary of state, state auditor, Senate president and House minority party. In 2011, four of five of those were Republicans. The panel voted 4-1 along party lines in September 2011 on the map challenged in the lawsuit. During 2012 elections run using the new district boundaries, the GOP retained majorities in both legislative chambers.
The court had delayed its ruling to keep from affecting the 2012 election -- allowing the disputed map to remain in place for legislative races this fall.
Voters First, a coalition of voter advocacy groups that advanced an unsuccessful 2012 ballot proposal to overhaul Ohio's map-making process, found in a post-election analysis that 97 of 99 Ohio House districts went to the party favored by new district lines. They pointed to the review as proof that map makers, not voters, control Ohio elections.
House Democratic Leader Armond Budish, who served on the apportionment board and was not sued, criticized Tuesday's decision for legalizing a system of political self-interest.
"This does not serve the broad interest of Ohio voters," Budish said. "Instead, it perpetuates a broken political system which will continue to favor extremism, not responsible governing."
Budish said the ruling signals an urgent need to reform Ohio's redistricting process -- a statement where he and Republican House Speaker William Batchelder appeared in agreement.
Batchelder praised the ruling as "a recognition that the system works," but left open the question of whether Ohio's way of drawing lines could be amended.
"I absolutely think we should look into it," he told reporters after a House session Tuesday. "I don't think there's any question about that."
Batchelder said he wants the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission, a bipartisan panel charged with reviewing Ohio's constitution, to hear testimony on how the state draws its political boundaries.
Associated Press writer Ann Sanner contributed to this report.
