|To start for Buckeyes, you begin on special teams
|Thursday, September 05, 2013 12:17 AM
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Outside of their friends and family, almost no one notices the often anonymous players running headlong downfield or muscling aside opponents on special teams.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer sure does.
"We kind of have a rule around here that you can't play unless you're involved in special teams," Meyer said.
So before you can be a starter, let alone a star, for the Buckeyes, you have to put on a hard hat, pack your lunch pail and join those sweating it out on the teams that take the field when the offense and defense don't.
Almost every well-known Buckeye has played his way onto the first team based on what he did on those grunt squads — and several have cost themselves a starting job by not committing to them.
Have an awful game? Get into trouble off the field? Skip a class or two? The first step in redeeming yourself in the eyes of the coaching staff is to contribute when you're not in the spotlight, when you're blocking for or defending against kicks and punts.
"Nothing is given to these guys," running backs coach Stan Drayton said. "It starts with special teams. We have a philosophy that if you want to play your respective position, you have to provide some value to this team on special teams."
It's democracy in action. Players work their way up the depth chart and nobody elbows in ahead of anybody else without first serving on those often-overlooked groups.
Front-line players such as Bradley Roby, Rod Smith and Carlos Hyde are rediscovering that right now as the third-ranked Buckeyes prepare for Saturday's home game with San Diego State. Up-and-coming tailback Bri'onte Dunn is, too.
Roby, an All-Big Ten cornerback and Smith, a backup tailback, first caught the eye of coaches by their work on special teams. They went on to be solid players at their positions. Then each was suspended for the opener, Roby for his role in an Indiana bar skirmish and Smith for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Now both are back with the commoners this week, trying to get back in the good graces of the coaches by showing they're team players on kick teams.
Hyde won't return for another couple of weeks, the result of a 3-game suspension for his involvement in an alleged conflict with a female this summer. Even though he was Ohio State's leading scorer and second-leading rusher last year, he'll have to work his way back into the lineup.
Dunn is considered a promising runner but the coaches have not been enthralled with his effort or attitude when called upon to do anything other than play his position. As a result, Dunn didn't get into the opener against Buffalo.
"The head coach is very clear and in fact there were some guys who probably didn't get to play as position players on Saturday because they didn't start or play on special teams," said Kerry Coombs, the Buckeyes' assistant who oversees both cornerbacks and kick teams. "If you don't perform in those areas, you're not going to play.
"So the competition on special teams units is high."
Playing on those selfless squads not only helps the team, it shows that a player isn't in it strictly for the glory or the playing time. He wants to win.
One player who did not have a stellar game in the 40-20 win over Buffalo on Saturday was Armani Reeves, who started his first collegiate game in place of Roby at corner. He had a pass-interference penalty, was frequently beaten on routes and was clearly picked on by Buffalo's offense.
But he also played 68 plays on defense and 12 more on special teams on a hot, humid day when several teammates were overcome with leg cramps.
Reeves' willingness to play anywhere and everywhere didn't go unnoticed.
"Armani (was) a tremendous special teams player for us a year ago," Meyer said. "He played a lot of football for us in that heat. That helps with our depth."
Wide receiver Chris Fields was a seldom used junior a year ago who ended years of grumbling about being bypassed and instead threw himself into special teams. He became a favorite of the coaches and gradually worked himself into the receiver rotation.
On Saturday, he contributed all over the field, catching two touchdown passes and also running with abandon to make stops and blocks on kicks.
"Special teams is very critical," Fields added. "Coach Meyer suggests that if you're able to play you have to play special teams. I've been playing on kick return and punt block and kickoff teams. I've been trying to (raise) my value on the team as much as possible. And everybody knows that."
Coombs regrets that several players, such as Fields, had to do double-duty in the opener. But he realizes that younger players see what is gained by taking one for the team.
"We need kids who can run down the field and take the load off of some of the starters and, unfortunately, on Saturday we had a couple of guys who had to catch a touchdown pass and then go cover a kickoff," Coombs added. "We try to avoid that if we can. At the same time that will be our priority.
"And if (a player) can't cover the kickoff, then he can't catch the touchdown pass."
Meyer doesn't mince words: You don't play special teams, forget about starting.
"You just don't play," he added. "You don't need your uncle calling, you don't need anybody calling, you just need to go get on the special teams and then all of a sudden you find yourself playing."
BUCKEYES BUZZ: It's not just the fans or reporters who notice who does or doesn't play right away in games.
Rest assured, the players, who have the most at stake, are paying close attention.
Just to be certain the message gets across, some assistants meet with their position players and lay it on the line before the game.
"The one thing I try to be with these kids is fair," Drayton said. "And I don't want things hitting them sideways. So they know what's expected of them in their role to this football team. A lot of those concerns are addressed before the game."
For instance, Jordan Hall got the lion's share of carries for the Buckeyes in their 40-20 win over Buffalo. Surprisingly, former walk-on Warren Ball was the next player to get a carry. Then freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott got their first collegiate attempts. And promising sophomore Dunn never got on the field.
"These guys get what they deserve and (Ball) obviously made me feel comfortable during the course of last week's practice for me to put him in the ballgame," Drayton said. "He's a young man who is very conscientious and does a lot right. It was his first time getting the chance to play, so I didn't know what to expect there, either. But we were very, very pleased with the way he responded."
If getting playing time is a reward, then withholding it also sends a message. Dunn hasn't been active on special teams and standing on the sidelines it might just have sunk into him that he must commit in that area.
Asked if Dunn must throw himself into special teams before he can expect playing time at tailback, Meyer replied, "That has to happen."
THE LATEST: After Wednesday's practice, Meyer said the Buckeyes were relatively healthy. C.J. Barnett (ankle) is back and full-go. C Corey Linsley will again have reduced activity in the range of the 16 or 17 plays he saw in the opener.
Meyer said RB Rod Smith was working with the punt team, the first step toward getting carries. And Roby had a good workout on Wednesday but no decision has made as to who would start at the CB spots between him, Doran Grant and Reeves.
GROUP EFFORT: Coach Rocky Long, which leads San Diego State up against the Buckeyes at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Ohio Stadium, says way too much has been made of the fact that he is 1-0 against Meyer as a head coach.
In 2003, when Meyer was in his first year at Utah, Long's New Mexico team beat the Utes 47-35 in Salt Lake City.
Over the last decade, that has been interpreted as Long outcoaching Meyer, who went on to lead Utah to a perfect season the next year and win two national titles at Florida before going 12-0 at Ohio State in his first year in 2012.
"That's a fallacy we (at New Mexico) out-schemed Meyer," Long said. "I have yet to see a coach win a football game. I've seen players win football games. It doesn't matter what the scheme is, players have to execute the scheme. It's all about players. I didn't have anything to do with beating Urban Meyer that day. It was the players."
Meyer has tried to forget that day.
"They got after us pretty good," he said. "Our defense took a beating that day that I'm not sure I can ever remember our defense ever taking before."
GLIAC GLITCH: The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Association, one of the finest Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the country, has a big problem. The roof collapsed on its office in Bay City, Mich., ruining computers, paperwork and desks.
So don't expect any major announcements in the coming days from the conference, which includes members Ashland, Tiffin and Findlay.
QUOTABLE: Long, on whether his team can lose to Ohio State and still feel it accomplished something: "I don't think there's ever such thing as a moral victory but I think we can show improvement and still lose, because (Ohio State) is that good of a team. But we're not going to be happy or satisfied unless we win."

The way in these situations are handled is atrocious. Instead of directly making a case to the staff at the Oracle, these parents lodge formal complaints with the California State Board of Education and call the Mayor of Los Altos?
It's time we stop playing bureaucratic games and learn how to address issues head on.

I applaud these parents for standing up against this.
Abbie Cunniff certainly thinks she is a position of power to do what she pleases. And Groves certainly doesn't have much of a sense for the anger swelling against his sense of leadership and his assertion that only he will have the last word on what goes on in the high schools. Both her and Groves need to go!

Career Coach: The Blind Men and the Elephant
I mention it because articles have begun appearing in business publications around the country that are making me laugh (and cry). These articles, tenuous and late to the party, are saying things like "The job market might be starting to improve," and "Employers are showing signs of ramping up hiring." And then these articles are filled with quotes and stats from economists from all over the place: "experts."
Really? Where have these folks been? For three and a half years, the job market has been growing, and now they're starting to say things like "might be" and "showing signs." Really?
In September 2009, I wrote, "The job market is ready to rebound. Are you?" I got bashed by sorts of critics. They said I was delusional.
Now here we are, 34 consecutive months of job creation later, and some writers and economists are saying we "might be" starting to improve? I've read too many short-sighted doubts for over three years now and, through it, insisted we were on the upswing. I was right but was one of the few believers. However, job seekers who agreed during these last three years - and took action - headed straight into good jobs and resumption of good careers.
So why are the naysayers now changing their tunes? Well, for one, they're reading the revised 2012 job creation stats showing that 2.2 million jobs, 19 percent more than originally reported, were created - numbers we haven't seen since 2005. Now that the proof is in, they're displaying a remarkable grasp of the obvious. But the trends were there, if you knew where to look and how to put it all together. And they're now noticing that we've recovered two-thirds of the jobs lost during the recession. Trust me; the rest of those lost jobs will be back this year. But when you focus on small things, you don't see the big picture. And that brings us to the fable.
It was six men of Indostan, to learning much inclined, who went to see the elephant, though all of them were blind, that each by observation, might satisfy his mind.
The first approached the elephant, and happening to fall, against his broad and sturdy side, at once began to bawl, "God bless me, but the elephant is very like a wall!"
The second, feeling of the tusk, cried, "Ho! What have we here, so very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear, this wonder of an elephant, is very like a spear!"
The third approached the animal, and happening to take, the squirming trunk within his hands, thus boldly up and spake, "I see," quoth he, "the elephant is very like a snake!"
The fourth reached out his eager hand, and felt about the knee. "What most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain," quoth he. "Tis clear enough the elephant is very like a tree!"
The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, said: "E'en the blindest man, can tell what this resembles most; deny the fact who can, this marvel of an elephant is very like a fan!"
The sixth no sooner had begun, about the beast to grope, then seizing on the swinging tail, that fell within his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the elephant is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan disputed loud and long, each in his own opinion exceeding stiff and strong, though each was partly in the right, and all were in the wrong!
This last stanza is the moral of the fable, as offered by the poet.
So oft in theologic wars, the disputants I ween [suppose], rail on in utter ignorance of what each other mean, and prate about an elephant not one of them has seen!
So next time you read an article about the job market starting to improve - and you'll probably see more of them, now that there's no doubting the issue - remember that you're reading nothing new. It's just that it's the first time some people are seeing what's been there all along - and seeing the whole picture, for a change.
Now then, what does the job market look like to you?

Here are nutrients that women are often deficient in, either because they lose too much of a nutrient, don't get enough of a nutrient, or both.
Here's your guide to the best foods to nourish you, as well as those foods best left for that occasional need to indulge in guilty pleasures.
In your grocer's case, you'll find whole turkeys and parts — fresh, frozen, and smoked. You'll also see ground turkey, turkey cutlets, turkey hot dogs, turkey sausage, and turkey burgers.
If you're just getting started with herbs, go at it gradually. Experiment with one or two herbs at a time. For freshness, purchase herbs that have been newly dried, and buy in small amounts.
You should cut back on foods that have only limited nutritional value, that are overprocessed or that contain too much fat, salt, sugar and refined white flour.
Whether they're called subs, hoagies, heroes or grinders, long sandwiches stuffed with a variety of ingredients are a favorite lunch choice.
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms. Although few cause illnesses, probiotics may keep the harmful bacteria in check so that you avoid or shorten a bout of stomach upset.
Although older adults still need plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and fiber, they need to add or subtract a few things from the diet they followed earlier in life.
Many of today's generation of musclemen are told by nutritionists and bodybuilding experts that well-balanced meals will offer enough protein for all but the most intense exercisers.
Today's goal is not to re-create a Norman Rockwell painting, but to produce a festive meal you will be happy to serve on Thanksgiving Day. The biggest change: If you don't need to present the whole turkey for carving at the table, cook a turkey breast instead.
You need to consume some fat to maintain good nutrition, but many Americans eat more fat than they need.
Just when you thought you had your summertime outdoors routine down -- plenty of sunscreen, a large hat, limited exposure between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. -- comes the news that Americans aren't getting enough of the "sunshine vitamin" -- vitamin D.
What if you could do one simple thing to significantly improve your health? Eating at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables can do just that by reducing your risk for cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Austin, TX
The Austin, Texas ASPCA Partner Community is made up of Town Lake Animal Center, Austin Humane Society, Animal Trustees of Austin and Emancipet. Austin has been a Partnership Community since 2012.
Buncombe County, NC
The Buncome County, North Carolina Partner Community is made up of Asheville Humane Society and the Humane Alliance. These agencies are hard at work to increase adoptions, reduce intake and dramatically expand spay/neuter resources in their region.
Charleston, SC
Charleston County, South Carolina became the sixth community to join the ASPCA Partnership in April 2008.
Cleveland, OH
The Cleveland, Ohio Partner Community is made up of the Cleveland Animal Protective League and the Cleveland Division of Animal Control Services. Cleveland joined the ASPCA Partnership in 2008 to implement life-saving initiatives for the animals in its community.
Oklahoma City, OK
The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Partner Community is made up of Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division and Central Oklahoma Humane Society. Oklahoma City joined the Partnership in 2009, and has successfully become a more humane community for animals.
Shelby County, AL
The Shelby County, Alabama Partner Community is made up of Shelby County Animal Control and the Shelby Humane Society. Since becoming an ASPCA partner community in 2009, these agencies have worked together on interstate transport and low-cost spay/neuter.

Southend families to get free energy-saving tips
8:35am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News
FAMILIES can get free energy saving tips this week.
South Essex Homes, which manages Southend Council's housing stock, will be offering free advice on how to save energy at drop-in sessions around the borough.
Advice sessions will take place today (Tuesday) at the West Area Housing Office, in Mendip Road, Westcliff, from 10am to 1pm, and at the Blenheim Community Cafe, in Blenheim Chase, Leigh, from 2pm to 4pm.
Tomorrow, the energy officer will be at Asda, in North Shoebury Road, Shoebury, from 10am until noon, and at the Store House, in Coleman Street, Southend, from 1.30pm to 3pm.
On Friday, a final session will be held at Cafe@theSquare, in Cluny Square, Southchurch, from 10am until 1pm.
The energy officer will also visit schools during the afternoon school run to speak to parents.
Daniel Greenwood, project planning and energy team leader for South Essex Homes, said: "As an organisation, South Essex Homes is dedicated to helping tenants minimise their energy bills by getting on the best tariff for them and by developing more energy efficient habits.
"We appreciate that these messages can be difficult to convey – so rather than expecting people to come to us for help, we decided to get out into local neighbourhoods to deliver our expert advice directly to residents."

Rushville Republican
---- — METAMORA — Gather up the family and head down to Metamora's historic canal for a day of outdoor play at Kid's Discount Day, scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10 on the grounds of the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site. Up to two children will ride the historic canal boat Ben Franklin III for half-price when an adult or senior pays general admission.
"Kid's Discount Day is a chance for families to come out and have one last adventure on a horse-drawn canal boat before school begins," said State Historic Sites East Region Program Manager Anne Fairchild. "Not only will kids have a discount option, but guests age 90 and older as well as children age two and younger will be admitted free."
Metamora, full of eclectic antique shops and vendors, combined with the quaint and charming bed and breakfasts in surrounding Franklin County, makes for a great weekend destination. Visit www.franklincountyin.com for more information on the county. For more information on the Historic Site, please visit indianamuseum.org/whitewater or call 765.647.6512.
Whitewater Canal, one of the few remaining canals in Indiana, was built in the early 1800s and includes 56 locks to accommodate a gradual drop of nearly 500 feet. The 25-minute cruise passes the Duck Creek Aqueduct, a covered bridge that carries the canal 16 feet over Duck Creek. Boat rides begin at noon and leave the dock every hour. The last departure is at 4 p.m.
After the era of canal transportation ended, Whitewater Canal was used as a source of water power for the Metamora Grist Mill, which produces cornmeal the same today as it did more than 100 years ago. The mill is open to visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The operation is closed on most holidays and will close for the year on Nov. 20. Admission is free.
Whitewater Canal State Historic Site is part of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. Canal rides are normally $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for children. Boat rides are available Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., now through Oct. 31. Depending on canal conditions, the schedule is subject to change.
Whitewater Canal State Historic Site is located off U.S. 52 in Metamora. Part of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, Whitewater Canal takes you back to the glory days of the canals. Water wheels and canal boats give you glimpse into pioneer life before railroads and modern transportation. For more information, call 765.647.6512 or visit indianamuseum.org/whitewater.

BEEKMANTOWN — A Philadelphia man was injured in an accident Friday involving two cars and a moose.
Shortly before 8:38 p.m., Benjamin J. Monette, 38, was driving southbound on Interstate 87 when he hit a moose that police believe was crossing the road, said Plattsburgh-based State Police.
The Volvo V70 first struck the moose's legs, then it rolled up the windshield, over the roof and off the back of the vehicle, police said.
Then a vehicle that had been traveling behind Monette's struck the moose, with the vehicle forced up over the animal, police said.
Driving that vehicle was Sharifur Rahman, 40, of Laval, Quebec.
The moose was dead by the time troopers arrived at the accident site, police said.
Its carcass was removed by the Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Conservation was notified of the accident, police said.
There was extensive damage to the roof of Monette's car and the undercarriage of Rahman's, which is consistent with what they believe happened, police said.
Monette was taken to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh after he complained of a hand injury, police said.
The two other passengers in Monette's vehicle were not injured and Rahman was also not injured, police said.
No tickets were issued.

There were a number of records set by WSU players in yesterday's loss to the No. 2 Ducks, particularly by quarterback Connor Halliday. Here's a look at all of them, as well as other notes, stats...
WSU kept trying to score at the end of a blowout loss to Oregon. The Ducks' defensive coordinator took exception to that.
Daquawn Brown was rated as one of the most-impressive freshman in the Pac-12 while the look ahead to Oregon continues.
Finally, after two long weeks, another episode of the ATQ Podcast has arrived. In this episode, Matt Daddy and I address a variety of subjects. Included are a recap of Oregon's win over Washington,...
A visit from Connor Halliday is like a visit from Santa Claus for the Oregon secondary.
What does Washington State have to do to beat Oregon? Never punt the ball under any circumstance, always onside kick and pass as much as possible.
Points per game, yards per game, it's all irrelevant. Here is the only stat you need to know and the reason why WSU will knock off Oregon.
We'll chat with Britton Ransford and examine whether we're being too hard or soft on Connor Halliday.
Another Tuesday HCA full of press conference videos.
While a number of WSU's wide receivers struggled against the Ducks, Marquess Wilson played well.

Maybe he's asking about prime numbers? I think they're pretty special.

I guess zoom lenses were just conspicuous by their absence.

Friends kicked out of Cheam pub for blowing their noses
Updated 6:06am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
A group of friends were accused of being drug users and thrown out of a Cheam pub simply because they had colds.
But the management of the Harrow Inn stand by their actions and say the area has a problem with recreational drugs so they take a strong stance against many suspected incidents.
Nursery worker Jessica Parsons was having a drink with two friends at the High Street pub on Saturday night.
She and one of her friends were suffering with colds and went to the toilet.
Miss Parsons, 23, said: "It was about half nine and we went to the toilet. Because we both had colds we both blew our noses while we were in there. We weren't in the same cubicle or anything like that.
"As we left, one of the female bouncers pulled us back and said 'come with us'.
"They said there was a drug problem and that they heard us sniffing drugs in there.
"I told them I blew my nose because I have a cold and laughed because I thought it was a joke - I don't even smoke, let alone do cocaine!
"We both have respectable jobs and we just wanted to go out for a quiet drink. I work in a school, there is no way I would risk that.
"I asked them to call the police but they wouldn't and they just told us to leave so we had to go and leave a bottle of wine we'd just bought on the table."
Miss Parsons said she has been going to the Harrow regularly since she was 18 but has no plans to go back after what happened.
But the pub has defended its actions.
A manager at the pub who declined to give his full name asking only to be identified as Sam, said: "We have a high rate of drugs issues in the area and our place is one of the red alert places.
"We have three door staff who will deal with situations when there is the slightest suspicion. If, in this case, we have made a mistake then it would be the first time.
"We are a lively pub so in terms of security we can't be too careful."
The women did not let the incident ruin the evening, they headed to All Bar One in Sutton to continue their night.

Mr Flange, they didn't go to the toilet to blow there noses, they went to the toilet - and blew there noses whilst there. Anyone might do that, and young woman more likely, rather than do something so unseemly in full view.
As for 'no smoke without fire', in my opinion that shouldn't be trotted out as another way of saying 'someone has pointed the finger so therefore they are bang to rights'. It's unfair and it's lazy thinking.

Last month Stanford University hosted a roundtable titled "Anxious Times: Beyond a World of Perpetual Threats" where the panelists were literally sitting on a global stage. The event was co-produced by DaVinci Fusion, with DaVinci president Solomon Rosenzweig leading the production.
TV news veteran Ted Koppel hosted the luminaries from all sectors of business, government, and academia—many of them Stanford grads themselves: Stanford president John L. Hennessy, GlaxoSmithKline CEO Jean-Pierre Garnier, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, former US Secretary of Defense William Perry, former US Secretary of State George Shultz, director of Stanford's Beckman Center on Molecular and Genetic Medicine Dr. Lucy Shapiro, and Yahoo! cofounder Jerry Yang.
"The roundtable was held on homecoming weekend and was the kickoff to the university's major fundraising campaign," Rosenzweig notes, "so one of the goals was to get as many people as possible to attend. C-SPAN covered it, and the event was also webcast by the University."
Rosenzweig conceived a bold metaphorical environment for the roundtable, which took place in Maples Pavilion, the university's basketball arena. No dais and talking heads for this panel. Instead, the visionaries talked to moderator Koppel across the vastness of the continents and the oceans.
DaVinci Fusions' artists hand painted a striking gold, brown, and blue-toned armillary inspired, map of the world on the raised, circular stage in the Pavilion. Red leather chairs were located around the world for the panelists who provided the audience of 4,000+ with insights on our place in the global community and how to gain confidence that we can survive on a shrinking planet.
"The circular stage and hand-painted floor really defined the timbre and tone of the roundtable," says Rosenzweig. "Everyone watched with hungry eyes, looking for some kernel of wisdom to help them gain comfort in these anxious times when we are but a speck on the global stage."
DaVinci Fusion also handled the IMAG, lighting, and video aspects of the roundtable. "The idiosyncrasies of a pavilion in a basketball court are many, and they presented numerous technical challenges," Rosenzweig notes. "We wanted to enhance the experience for the attendees with the use of video. I didn't want this program to be a sit back and listen to the drone of voices far away. We filmed with five cameras. The fifth camera was mounted on a jib and got that all-important global shot." We used the built-in screens on the scoreboard to strengthen that sense of a Global Forum. The use of a 360° stage and video screen facing every direction truly enhanced the magnitude of the program."
The stage was illuminated with computerized moving lights and the DaVinci Fusion crew saw to every detail.

For The Herald Bulletin
PENDLETON, Ind. —
If the student-athletes who took the field in Monday night's sectional softball action needed a bit of motivation, they could have looked to pitcher's circle at Legends Field where Andrea Vellinga stood and threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Pendleton Heights battled Richmond in the opening game, as the Arabians ran past the Red Devils 10-0 in five innings. Game 2 featured Anderson and New Castle, with the Indians getting trounced 10-1.
But each game's outcome seemed insignificant when looking behind the third base dugout and seeing Vellinga sitting there with a smile on her face from ear to ear.
Vellinga is a 1999 graduate of Pendleton Heights and was a standout on the Arabians' volleyball and track teams. She sustained a traumatic brain injury as a result of the stage collapse during the 2011 Indiana State Fair.
"I just need to get some strength in this right arm, I didn't throw it all the way to the plate," Vellinga said with a smile. "It feels good being back here and the support, I just can't help it, I was crying. I love this."
Her smile got even bigger after the first inning of Game 1 when the Arabians put up three runs to jump out to a 3-0 lead.
"We wanted to come out and make a statement," PH coach Rob Davis said. "The way we started out, I was not sure we were going to do that."
The Red Devils touched up Pendleton Heights starter Brooke Wendling in the top of the first by loading the bases with just one out. The senior pitcher bounced back to induce two straight popouts to end the inning.
The three runs the Arabians answered with were spearheaded by Sarah Dixon, who led off the bottom of the first with a single to right field. She went on to go 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
"Sarah Dixon is our table setter," Davis said. "When she gets on good things are going to happen, especially with no outs. That is exactly what happened. She got on, and everybody feed off that."
Each of the Arabians that stepped in the batters box reached base at least once.
"It was one of those things where everything was clicking for us," Davis said. "Everything we did was working, and everything we tried to do was right."
Both offensively and defensively, the Arabians continued to roll. Pendleton Heights put up runs in the each of the four innings it batted, including five in the third. Wendling allowed six additional hits, but no Red Devils crossed the plate.
"The first inning kind of scared me," Wendling said. "After that, I felt good and the offense helped out a lot."
Her first inning struggles could have been a result of trying to set aside the emotion of Vellinga's performance.
"It was really inspiring, and I wanted to do my best," Wendling said "She is a real inspiration. Her story is amazing."
Vellinga said she is honored the team thinks of her as an inspiration but quickly added the Arabians have raw athletic talent and need no inspiration to be successful.
But, to the Arabians, she is just that, an inspiration. The ball she was presented with shows the team's appreciation. It read, "Thank you, you are such an inspiration."
"That is special, and it brought tears to my eyes," Davis said. "It was great, just the inspiration she has on all the lives here. Not just in Pendleton but throughout the state. It is just amazing."
Pendleton Heights takes on New Castle at 5:30 p.m., in the first of two sectional semifinals tonight. Game 2 pits Greenfield-Central against Connersville.

My View Cynthia Cafasso Donaldson
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — As a lifelong resident of Gloucester, and as someone who has spent most of my career at Addison Gilbert Hospital, I know how much all of us value our cherished community asset.
Addison Gilbert is one of the foundations of our community. It is where many of us – including me – were born, and it is the place we turn to first for our health-care needs. That's why our community reacts so warily whenever there is talk of change at the hospital or in the health network that owns Addison Gilbert Hospital.
Tonight, at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, I will join Denis Conroy, the interim president of Northeast Health System and vice president of system integration for Lahey Health, in an open meeting to discuss our hospital and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
For those of you who cannot be with us this evening, I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about what we will be saying. As just about everyone knows, the North Shore's two most experienced and most venerable health care systems – Northeast Health System and Lahey Clinic – recently completed an affiliation. The idea for these community forums originated out of Lahey Clinic and Northeast Health System's commitment to be sure that we are transparent to all residents in the communities we are privileged to serve.
Some of the developments we will discuss tonight include:
The new combined entity: Lahey Health System recognizes and reinforces our community focus and commitment to quality care. The new board of trustees' structure includes four members from Lahey and four from Northeast Health System, and it combines physicians and non-physicians. We've also added four new members previously unaffiliated with either organization, along with Dr. Howard Grant, the CEO of Lahey Clinic.
Tonight, we will also announce our new Cape Ann Community Panel, which includes a diverse group of trusted and respected business and community leaders who will serve in an advisory role for AGH. Community leaders on the panel include Ruth Pino, Howard Frisch, James Destino, Brian Tarr, James Perry, Joan Gorga, Patrick Beaton, Robert Crandall, Kay Bierweiler, Beverly Quint, Dr. John Wolfe and Judson Reis.
I'm happy to tell you also that Tina Ketchopulos has moved to AGH full-time and will serve as the Community Relations Coordinator, focusing on day to day community relations at the hospital. Tina is a lifelong resident of Rockport and has been at Northest Health Systems for more than 30 years.
Tonight we will discuss an overview of Addison Gilbert's services, programs, statistics and financial picture – a picture that we believe underscores Addison Gilbert Hospital's value to our community.
Addison Gilbert Hospital contributes positively to the Cape Ann community both health wise and economically. We have 324 employees based at AGH – a number that has risen slightly over the last couple of years. And ours is a very busy hospital. Over the last year we had more than 3,000 admissions, 15,000 emergency department visits, 194 surgeries and 569 endoscopies at Addison Gilbert.
The Gorton's Cancer Center experienced an 11 percent increase over the past year. Our specialty clinics – driven primarily by orthopedics and general surgery clinics – have increased by 2 percent.
I am hopeful that these numbers put to rest concerns that you have to leave Cape Ann to receive any of this care or regarding Lahey Health's commitment to Addison Gilbert Hospital.
We also recently completed a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment to analyze the healthcare needs of Gloucester and Rockport. This was a major undertaking that included a number of components, and our community reported that we have a strong health service network – including Addison Gilbert Hospital.
Programs to counter obesity, help people quit smoking, deal with substance abuse and behavioral health needs or other healthcare needs are all available on Cape Ann.
And that leaves me with the request that we will make to all of you who come tonight: Please, use your hospital and this health system.
The best way to guarantee that Addison Gilbert serves Cape Ann for another century is to use us for your outpatient services such as laboratory, radiology, physical therapy and other healthcare needs. Simply, it is not enough just to think of Addison Gilbert Hospital for your emergency and inpatient needs.
By using your community hospital and the other healthcare facilities and services in Lahey Health, you guarantee that the system remains strong, and a strong system helps to support Addison Gilbert Hospital as a healthy, viable entity on Cape Ann.
Cynthia Cafasso Donaldson is vice president and executive director of Addison-Gilbert Hospital.

In the feature bout of the FX prelims of UFC 160, Mike Pyle looked to extend his 3-fight win streak when he met Rick Story in the Octagon.
Story opened early with a takedown. Pyled looked for a straight armbar, but it went nowhere. Pyle looked to isolate an arm, but Story scrambled out and got back on top. They separated and returned to striking before Story landed a big punch that dropped Pyle. Rick tried to follow up and finish, but couldn't get the stop.
Pyle tried to stay outside Story's reach but struggled to hit the counter before getting taken down. Pyle latched on to a kimura, but Story defended. The action slowed to a crawl after that as Story ground out the round.
Pule looked desperate looking or strikes in the final round, but couldn't land anything hard so far out of range. Rick looked very slow in the last round but still managed to secure back control after a takedown.He threw some knees to Pyle's thigh to keep busy and threw the slowest hook when they separated. Mike tried to take advantage but ended up being taken down instead. He took the back with 20 seconds left, but couldn't do enough to finish the fight.
Mike Pyle took the cards in an split decision over Rick Story

After the economy went pear-shaped, Cremin and the Community Foundation—which in 2010 alone paired nonprofit causes with $99 million from donors—made a crucial decision. They changed the way competitive funds—including the one Cremin created in 1993, the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund—granted their moola. Instead of bankrolling debt reductions or staff positions, the funds would support operating budgets. On top of that, the Arts Fund—which has given $8.1 million to seventy organizations over the years—launched the Atlanta Arts Recovery Initiative to boost its giving, helping the likes of the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre and True Colors Theatre Company stay afloat or remain stable. Cremin also created the Nonprofit Toolbox to help with strategic planning and the Nonprofit Loan Fund to give advice and short-term loans to programs in a pinch. Cremin's next goal is to boost the Arts Fund's endowment from $7.5 million to $20 million. As tickets such as Actor's Express struggle to stay viable, people like Cremin with a passion for the arts—and a little spending power—are more important than ever.
Art History Cremin was previously employed by Weston Gallery in Carmel, California, where she worked with photographer Ansel Adams.

Stop #CUTTINGFORBIEBER trend on twitter
Hey guys. I thought this petition had to be done. When i heard about this trend #cuttingforbieber, I was shocked. I thought it was honestly terrible, and very disrespectful. Suicide is a very serious thing and shouldn't be looked at as a joke. I know every belieber cares, but if you truly cared you wouldnt be hurting and cutting yourselves because doing that actually hurts Justin even more. Do you think he wants to see his fans doing that? No! He loves us. So please guys, stop. For Justin. And for all of his beliebers. #23million and counting. <3

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say an alleged gang member wanted in California has been arrested in northern Arizona.
Coconino County Sheriff's officials say 20-year-old Lebron Flores was taken into custody Friday after driving away from a home in Winona.
They say Flores is wanted on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon out of Riverside, Calif.
Riverside County Sheriff's officials say Flores is a member of a violent street gang.
Arizona authorities say a 19-year-old man was arrested with Flores, but it wasn't immediately clear if he's also wanted in California.
Both men have been booked into the Coconino County Detention Facility. They're each being held on $150,000 bonds.
Authorities didn't immediately know Friday evening if Flores had a lawyer.

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Review Date:
Apr 26, 2012
| Price paid:
| Rating:
build quality, stabilization, versatility, colors contrast, decent sharpness
(somewhat) slow focusing, awkward manual focus ring
This lens is used on a 7D.
I moved from the 70-300L to this lens for extra reach. That is a great lens and if the focal length works for you, I'd actually recommend it over the 100-400, even though I think that it is overpriced and that it definitely should come with a tripod collar and nicer case for the price.
I have also owned the 400 f/5.6 before, but sold it when I bought my kayak since I wanted to shoot from the 'yak and figured IS would be a big advantage for that use.
As far as the 100-400 goes, it is a real work horse lens. I bought an older copy (UT) and was concerned at first that the rumors about copy variation would mean that I would have a soft lens. Luckily this turned out to be a false rumor (at least in my case). I did have to MA my lens to +7 though for optimum results.
The lens is sharp enough for my uses wide open, but does show some improvement stopped down. I like the fact that the MFD is much closer than the 400 prime since it makes the lens more versatile for closeups. Image stabilization is not as good as on the newer design, so I usually count on 2 stops compensation. I also wait for a couple of seconds for the IS to kick in, which seems to help. Colors and contrast are great. I have found the bokeh to be harsh sometimes in very busy backgrounds. The prime seems to be a little bit better in this area. The push/pull design makes the lens easy to transport but takes some getting used to. I usually either leave the tension ring all the way loose or cinch it down when I know I'll be shooting at 400mm. The manual focus ring is in an odd location next to the tension ring which I don't care for. Luckily I rarely use manual, so it's not a big deal. The autofocus is on the slow side for USM, but is usually fast enough. When shooting distant objects the focus limiter comes in handy.
My ratings on a scale of 1-10
Build Quality -9 Bokeh- 8
Focusing - 8 sharpness- 8.5
If you are expecting 70-200 II sharpness wide open then you will be disappointed. If you expect great results in a versatile package at a reasonable price, then you'll be very happy with this lens.
Canon EOS 40D

speed of operation, nice colors, good autofocus using outer points, "bang for your buck" quality.
ISO performance over ISO 400, ai-servo only so so, LCD IQ when zoomed in, weather sealing could be better
This is a really fantastic camera, especially at it's current price point. I started with the 40D and ended up buying one as my second camera rather than going with the 50D. I didn't see anything about the 50D that was worth spending the extra money (for me).
I consider this to be a very well rounded camera. It isn't excellent in image quality like a 5D or 1D series, but still produces very nice images. Paired with top lenses, the 40D is capable of delivering professional level results. The autofocus system is "good." Not fast like the 1d IV or 7D, but holds it's own and is good enough for general purpose use and amateur sports and wildlife. 6.5fps is very handy in certain applications as well.
I would stack the 40D up against just about anything under ISO 400. It begins to show it's age however when you use the higher ISO's. ISO performance is certainly reasonable and good enough for small print and web use up to ISO 1600 with some careful processing, but images begin to look flat over ISO 400 in general. It probably isn't too far behind any of the APS-C offerings out there today though in this regard.
Over all I consider the camera to be a current best buy in the APS-C class. If you want the best in image quality for the price, get the 5D. If you want a camera that you can use in virtually any application and get great images, the 40D may be the camera for you.

wide open sharpness, colors, contrast, IS
mediocre build quality
The only fault I have found with this lens is the build quality. Feels more robust than the 28-135 I used to have, but is basically the same build quality with less zoom creep.
Other than that, I love everything about this lens. It has an excellent ability to capture detail from corner to corner, especially for a zoom lens. I can always count on this lens for great images. I also really enjoy having the IS system. This puts this lens in a league of it's own and comes in very handy when shooting indoors or when I need to stop down and don't feel like using the tripod.
I think that another weakness of the lens is IS and autofocus failure. I had to have my autofocus system fixed on mine. It was frustrating, but I was willing to deal with it because I enjoy using the lens so much. Only better zoom lens I've used is the 70-200 II and this one comes close.

Wide open sharpness, colors, contrast, 4 stop IS, fast autofocus
This is easily the best zoom lens that I have gotten the privilege of using. I used to have a Sigma 70-200 HSM II, which was a good lens (steal for the price), but was always renting the Canon IS version I lens for event shooting. I decided to give myself a Christmas present last year and went for the lens. I knew that I would always regret settling on a lesser lens so I spent the extra money.
This is one of those lenses that you try to find a way to use for everything. Awesome build, fantastic image quality corner to corner at all apertures and distances, and a fantastic 4 stop IS system. I liked the first version of the lens, but there is a noticeable difference between the two. Highly recommended!

Unions supporting pension-gutting bill!
by skeptic06, Mon Mar 20, 2006 at 07:19:40 AM EST
There was a piece here yesterday (my own modest contribution with some links) which flagged the enormous hole (around $150 billion) that the latest pension bill currently in conference would dig in private pension schemes - that's the amount, according to the Federal agency the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, that the bill will permit employers to avoid contributing to such schemes.
Sounds like corporate welfare to me (though I'm no expert).
Now, I find (Boehner's boasting list) that several unions, including Unite To Win member UNITE HERE (but not fellow breakaways SEIU and the Teamsters, it seems) are backing the bill.
