Peter Kramer / NBC
June 1, 2012
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb have cultivated a breezy, anything-goes atmosphere for their fourth hour of NBC's "Today" show, but that seeming lack of preparation worked against Gifford on Wednesday during an otherwise routine interview with Martin Short. Gifford asked about Short's children and then began talking about Short's wife, Nancie. "And he and Nancie have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?" Gifford asked. One problem: Short's wife died in 2010 after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Gifford apologized for the gaffe after the interview.

Social entrepreneurs combine the knowledge and skills used in traditional business with a passionate commitment to having a meaningful and sustainable social impact. Social entrepreneurs apply their passion and skill to enrich the lives of people who are poor, sick or disenfranchised. The best social entrepreneurs find creative ways to help the disadvantaged help themselves, by building innovative and sustainable new -social‖ enterprises that can be scaled to achieve significant social change. Over the course of the semester, we will study social enterprises from around the world in order to help you understand the field and to begin to define social entrepreneurship in your own way. Working with the ENACTUS student group, you will take what you have learned into the field to learn directly from social entrepreneurs while touching the lives of the poor, the sick and the disadvantaged.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great quality magnet card!
Family News Magnetic Christmas Cards magnetStreet has done it again with a high quality product. We love the magnet card. Thick strong magnet with good quality envelop. We personalized it with the text and pictures but didn't change anything else much. It was a beautiful design to begin with! All in all, a very satisfy customer. We just wish that there would be a bit more wiggle room to change the picture and text layouts.
Nice summary option next to photos
Family News Christmas Photo Cards This was a really nice card option. I did find it a little cumbersome to revise the language next to each photo as it does not work like a Word processing program as one would expect. I copied and pasted revisions from Word.
Vivid Colors, Cute Design
Holiday Sparkle Magnetic Christmas Cards This design turned out great in person! Vivid colors on our photos, plus the design itself is simple/clean, yet modern, which is exactly what we wanted. I liked how you could change all of the colors and fonts. Not all sites allow that, esp. for free. Thanks again!
Amazing and quick delivery! !
Christmas Wonder Magnetic Christmas Cards I heard of Magnet Street from a friend doing her wedding invites so tried it out for Christmas and WOW! I was surprised on the quality! The pictures look just as i took them! I do wish the sizing for pics was a little different but I made it work. I love them and cant wait to share with the family! I will be ordering for our wedding!
Excellent Experience!
Family News Magnetic Christmas Cards I am extremely pleased with my order! It was very easy to customize my magnet. I was afraid the pictures and font size would be too small, but they both turned out just right. Close up pictures are easier to see, but the pics are clear enough that it doesn't matter too much. I received my order fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the Thanksgiving holiday interfered, otherwise I would have received my magnets sooner. The print quality is very impressive and professional! I think these magnets will last a long time. I'm very happy with everything!

Labour Standards And The "Race To The Bottom": Rethinking Globalisation And Workers Rights From Developmental And Solidaristic Perspectives
AbstractThere is a protracted stalemate between rich (the North) and poor (the South) countries over the question of minimum labour standards in developing economies. This paper is a sequel to Singh and Zammit (2000). It considers afresh key issues in the controversy. While fully recognizing the moral, political and philosophical dimension of this complex issue, the paper concentrates on the central economic question of the "race to the bottom". It emphasizes the difficulties of establishing labour standards in the vast informal sectors in developing countries and suggests that the ILO conventions 87 and 98 should be amended to properly reflect these concerns. It also argues that ILO core conventions should be broadened to include the right to decent living. The overall conclusion is that labour standards are important indicators of economic development but their promotion is best achieved in a non-coercive and supportive international environment such as that provided by the ILO.

ATLANTA — Despite his various struggles over the last three years, Tim Lincecum always likes facing the Atlanta Braves.
"I've always done OK against these guys" he said, "so I was just trying to take that out there today, a positive mindset."
Michael Morse and Angel Pagan homered, Lincecum allowed one run over six innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Friday night.
San Francisco spoiled the season debut of Braves starter Mike Minor with its seventh victory in eight games.
Atlanta has a season-high four-game losing streak.
After missing the first month of the season with left shoulder tendinitis, Minor (0-1) allowed seven hits, two runs, no walks and struck out four.
He trailed 1-0 when Pagan led off the game with his third homer and was down 2-1 in the sixth after Morse added his seventh homer.
Lincecum (2-1) gave up six hits and three walks with four strikeouts and kept Braves hitters off balance by keeping his pitches low in the strike zone and added a sharp curveball and slider.
Though Lincecum's ERA still stands at 5.12 this season, San Francisco has won his past four starts, and the right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.91 ERA over that span.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner improved to 8-6 with a 2.89 ERA in 14 career starts against the Braves.
"I was just trying to go with what (catcher Hector Sanchez) put down, trying to get into a good rhythm, and today it turned out pretty good," Lincecum said. "I was just trying to attack the zone and make them be aggressive, which they are."
Lincecum had problems in the fifth by walking leadoff hitter Gerald Laird, who advanced on Jason Heyward's single and scored from second on Freddie Freeman's RBI single.

Ude sends North Babylon to playoffs
With North Babylon needing one more win to secure a playoff berth, Emily Ude offered some words of comfort for her coach before Monday's game.
"Don't worry, Coach," she said. "We got this."
She then backed up those words by recording a hat trick, her second in three games, to propel North Babylon to a 5-2 win over Half Hollow Hills West.
"I believe great players are at their best when things are toughest," North Babylon coach Steve Corrado said. "That's why they rise above the rest."
Ude now has 13 goals this season, matching her total from last season when she was named first-team all-state.
Her 37 career goals are third most in program history, two behind Casey Filippone for second.
North Babylon (6-5) wraps up the regular season on Wednesday at West Babylon with playoff positioning still on the line. Nevertheless, it's a tough game that won't be quite as stressful thanks in large part to Ude.

A Commonwealth Court judge ruled Thursday that Josephs did not have enough accurate signatures to qualify her as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for state representative in the 182nd District. Joseph needed 300 signatures from voters to appear on the ballot; she initially submitted 599 and determined 467 of them to be valid. However, 171 more signatures were dismissed this week after it was found that the man who collected that batch for the campaign listed an inaccurate address for himself.
He was going by an address at 12th and Bainbridge streets but is registered elsewhere in the city.
Sims, who is openly gay, defeated Josephs in the 2012 primary, ending her 27-year career as the 182nd District representative. He will now be unchallenged in the May 20 primary.

Soul diva JOSS STONE has been drinking alcohol since she was 13, and blames her boozy habit on being British.
The pop star, who now resides in America, fears losing her powerful voice but can't resist having a sneaky drink when she is back in her homeland.

I just finished doing my latest Panthers mock draft on FanSpeak, and the results are very positive:
1st Round: TE Eric Ebron-UNC
It was tough to pass up on OT Zach Martin, who I have picked up in previous mocks, but i wanted to see how the rest of the draft would go if I got a weapon for Cam in the 1st. Ebron has the ability and build to be a future Gronk or Graham, and working with Olsen in 2-TE formations, would give defenses headaches from Week 1.
2nd Round: OT Morgan Moses- Virginia
Moses is tough to project as an NFL player as he might only end up being a very solid RT, but im hoping we could develop him into becoming a respectable LT. The Panthers really need to pick up a Tackle in free agency to eliminate the idea of being forced to draft 2 Tackles if its not the BPA.
3rd Round: CB Stanley-Jean-Baptiste-Nebraska
This one of my favourite picks in this mock as its a case of a mid-round talent who fits our scheme perfectly and could start from Day 1. Baptiste is a long (6'3) zone-corner, which is exactly what the Panthers need. He could start at CB #2 next to Antoine Cason and we could have a hugely improved pair of CB's over last year.
4th Round: WR Brandon Coleman-Rutgers
After getting an inside weapon in Ebron, I wanted to get a guy who had the potential to start outside, at 6'0 Coleman has the length and speed to do just that. Wasn't great value, but when i saw a certain South Carolina WR was much further down the board I decided to wait another round to grab him.
5th Round: WR Bruce Ellington-South Carolina
Here he is, by far the best value pick of this mock, Ellington is an explosive WR who contrasts the sure handed veterans (Cotchery, Avant) we have picked up recently. Grabbing both Ellington and Coleman will lead to a mad chase for roster spots for guys like King, McNutt and Pilares.
6th Round: G Kadeem Edwards-Tennessee State
As the Panthers haven't resigned Travelle Wharton yet (still hoping) some Guard depth is needed. Both Silatolu and Kugbila will be back this season, but I'd prefer to have Edwards as depth than a converted DT.
7th Round: S Issiah Lewis-Michigan State
In the last round or 2 you need to forget about needs and take the best player on your board, it just so happens the BPA filled a need.
What do you think about this mock? What would you change?

text: My gadget guilt: Inside the Foxconn iPhone factory 02 March 11 by Joel Johnson Tweet Tony Law From what I can tell, though, the reality is more banal than either of those scenarios. This is what it's like to work at the Foxconn factory: you enter a five- or six-storey concrete building, pull on a plastic jacket and hat, and slip protective booties over your shoes. You then walk up a wide staircase to your assigned floor, the entirety of which lies open under an unwavering fluorescent light.It's likely that your job will require you to sit or stand in place for most of your shift. Maybe you grab components from a bin and slot them into circuit boards as they move down a conveyer belt. Or you might tend a machine, feeding it tape that holds tiny microprocessors like sweets on paper spools. Or you may sit next to a refrigerator-sized machine, scrutinising its handiwork under a magnifying glass. Or you could sit at a bench with other technicians, placing completed mobile-phone circuit boards into lead-lined boxes resembling small kilns, testing each piece for electromagnetic interference.If you need to go to the toilet, you raise your hand until your spot on the line can be covered. You get an hour for lunch and two ten-minute breaks; roles are switched around every few days for cross-training. It seems incredibly boring -- like factory work anywhere in the developed world.You work ten hours or so, depending on overtime. You walk or take a shuttle back to your dorm, where you share a room with up to seven other employees that Foxconn management has selected as your bunk-mates. You watch television in a common room with bench seating, on a high-definition set that seems insultingly small compared with the giant units you and your coworkers assemble every day. Or maybe you play video games or check your emails in one of the on-campus cybercafés, perhaps sharing a semi-private "couple's booth" with a girlfriend or boyfriend.In the morning, you clean yourself up in your room's communal sink or in one of the dorm's showers, then head back to the production line to do it all over again.A report by the Mail on Sunday in 2006 accused Foxconn of forcing workers to put in long shifts to meet unrealistic quotas. That report prompted an audit from Apple, which found "no instances of forced overtime" but noted that employees "worked longer hours than permitted by our Code of Conduct" -- more than 60 hours a week. (Apple has performed such audits every year since.)In April 2010, the Chinese newspaper Southern Weekend sent a young reporter into Foxconn to work undercover for a month; he returned with bleak tales of hopelessness and "voluntary overtime affidavits". A report in October by Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour, a Hong Kong-based labour-rights group, found that workers at Foxconn's Shenzhen plant worked 13 days straight, 12 hours a day, to produce the first generation of Apple's iPad. Foxconn has denied the reports and said it complies with all Chinese regulations regarding working hours and overtime.That 17 people have committed suicide at Foxconn is a tragedy. But, in fact, the suicide rate at Foxconn's Shenzhen plant remains below national averages for both rural and urban China, a bleak but unassailable fact that does much to exonerate the conditions at Foxconn and absolutely nothing to bring those 17 people back. The work itself isn't inhumane -- it's repetitive, exhausting, alienating and in a workplace over which you have no influence or authority, but doesn't that describe every manufacturing or burger-flipping job in history? Read page 4 12345 Read on one page Comments This article is quite ignorant. The Chinese government is responsible for the working conditions of these employees, not Apple. Maybe the governement should be more concerned about the welfare of it's working citizens. Notice how this problem doesn't occur in North America? Because our government is corrupt. PhallusMuncher Sep 3rd 2011 "To be soaked in materialism, to champion it directly and indirectly, has also brought guilt. I don't know if I have a right to the vast quantities of materials and energy that I consume in my daily life. Even if I thought I did, I know that the planet cannot bear my lifestyle multiplied by seven billion individuals. I believe that this understanding is shared, if only subconsciously, by almost everyone in the western world."This is something that made me think. Good article, well written. There will always be a company like Foxconn. It's enevitable linked to our hunger for gadgets and a better social status.

Modelling Entrepreneurship: Unifying the Equilibrium and Entry/Exit Approach
AbstractThis research report provides a framework for modelling rates of entrepreneurship. The proposed framework may be helpful in separating the effects of a range of different variables, all possibly affecting the rate to which people choose to become or remain self-employed. We unify two approaches with respect to the modelling of the rates of entrepreneurship. The first approach is the 'equilibrium approach', seeking to estimate the long and short-run developments of the number of self-employed. The second approach is the entry/exit approach, seeking to determine the determinants of gross entry and exit rates and their interdependencies. The empirical application to Dutch data indicates how the method works and what sorts of results may be expected.

To the editor:
Mark Acciard is correct on one hand. He writes (Letter, "The difference between rights and freedoms." March 28). He writes that we are free to go to any restaurant we want. But the restaurant can refuse to serve us. True! If you steal, don't pay or cause a disturbance, the restaurant can throw you out or call police.
Under our laws, however, any public domain — restaurant, school, hospital, department store — must serve you. In America we do not discriminate because you have blue eyes, are left-handed, Jewish or are Catholic, are pro-choice or pro-life, do not believe in a god, are evangelical Christian, gay, lesbian, transexual, bisexual or heterosexual.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Acciard alludes to the brouhaha when Arizona's rightwing Republicans kowtowed to fundamentalist Christians who wanted to make discrimination legal: LGBT community members could be refused restaurant service under the ruse that serving them was against religious principles.
It is against one's civil rights. One can walk into a restaurant and order. It is no one's business who his or her sexual partner is. Imagine a teacher refusing to teach a student because that child has two fathers or mothers at home. Imagine a doctor saying, "It is against my religion to treat this ailing human being because he is gay." Can a department store clerk refuse to cash out a man buying woman's underwear? Will it come to a point where a chaplain will not give needed spiritual care to a dying soldier because that soldier is not heterosexual?
Mr. Acciard is a bright man, but I was quite sad to read what he believes. In an age when we should have progressed far beyond such attitudes, we find they are alive and well. It is one thing to state one's opinion, but to state it publicly, in peacock-like style, proudly, without basis in fact is quite another. I continued to be disappointed that letter writers do not edit their writing.

Former Vt. treasurer gets 18 months for embezzlingFebruary 13,2013Woman gets prison for embezzlement
BRATTLEBORO A Vermont woman has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for embezzling more than $80,000 from the Algiers Fire District.
Federal prosecutors say 52-year-old Sherry Roebuck of Guilford worked as a treasurer for the district between 2007 and 2011.
Roebuck was accused of writing checks to herself and cashing them at local banks. Prosecutors say the embezzlement was discovered in March 2011, shortly after she resigned.
A jury found her guilty.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports as part of her sentence, Roebuck has to pay the money back.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Researchers studying bones of long extinct gigantic cattle, the aurochs, recovered from a bog in Amesbury, Wiltshire, and tools used to kill and butcher them,declare that place the oldest human settlement in Britain. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Webster County Library219 W Jackson St, Marshfield, MO 65706
Email this business
(417) 468-3335
LIBRARY HISTORY The Marshfield Public Library was built in 1911 through a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. At the time, it was said to be the smallest town (population 1,300) in the United States to receive a Carnegie library. The first Library Association predated the library building. It was organized April 12, 1878. The original board of directors was composed of E. W. Barnes, president, J. B. Foster, secretary, William Smith, treasurer, N. M. Callaway, Gus Gumpertz, and John Bollinger. In 1965, the library became a member of the Kinderhook Regional Library System, expanded its coverage to the entire county, and became known as the Marshfield Service Center. The Marshfield library operated as a branch of the system, with the main library in Lebanon in Laclede County. One of the benefits of joining the regional system was a bookmobile to visit the distant portions of the county. A new facility, the Garst Memorial Library, was completed in 1995. It was built around the corner from the original Carnegie structure, which is still in use as the Webster County History Museum. The Webster County Friends of the Library were instrumental in bringing the fund drive for the new building to a successful conclusion. After voters rejected a bond issue two times, the Friends rallied supporters to raise the money themselves. The family of Lester and Nanalee Garst donated $100,000. Lester Garst was the founder of the telephone company in Marshfield, and an early board member of the Carnegie library. Bill and Retha Stone Baker issued a challenge grant to Webster County: pay for the building, and they would donate the site. The community responded, and the Garst Memorial building sits on the original Stone family home site. The old system of catalog cards was abandoned in August 1995, when the library automated its card catalog. Now the card catalog is available via the internet, and the library belongs to an online catalog consortium covering eight area counties. The Marshfield Service Center aka Garst Memorial Library underwent one more name change in 1999. On January 1st of that year, it became an independent entity and the Webster County Library was born. Today there are over 10,000 library patrons and the Garst Library houses a collection of about 45,000 volumes. A branch location in Rogersville opened February 2, 2001.

I have a really difficult identification task for you experts. Because I don't have a photo
I was walking towards the lake at our business park today and two large birds (probably about the size of a heron) flew low over the water. I couldn't tell whether they had taken off from the water or not, but they flew behind a building and I didn't see them again.
The only thing noticeable about them was that they were mainly white but the wing tips were black for about a third the length of the wings.
If you can come up with some ideas from that, you are officially awesome.
You don't have anywhere near that may have Common Crane do you Bri? The description could suit
(I see there are some in Norfolk and around the Somerset Levels now, maybe elsewhere too?)
quite a few sightings this year in various places in the UK
Quote: (I would say they were Snow Geese, but not sure they come here)
Snow Geese are a little larger than a Mallard and smaller than a Canada Goose. I would bet money that your birds were/are Grey Herons, habitat and your description points to this species. They can appear very pale in good light, I've had fun photographing one on my local lake recently which is incredibly tame.
OK, definitely NOT grey herons (I see/photograph them regularly) or cranes (same) or avocets.
The birds were on a lake where we have a bunch of other types of geese (including Egyptian).
I reckon they probably were snow geese. Photos I've found of them on the web certainly look very much like what I saw.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Small businesses generate over two-thirds of the new jobs in our economy. Importantly, black-owned small businesses have the fastest growth rate, according to the Department of Commerce. Still, fewer than 5 percent of black-owned businesses employ more than five people. I believe that fact -- the smallness of black-owned small businesses -- is as much a wake-up call for large corporations (and the country's leadership) as it is for black entrepreneurs themselves.
Because minorities will be the majority in the U.S. within the next 30 years, larger black and minority businesses have to be developed to serve the needs of the country's private and public sectors. In other words, without a significant number of high-quality, fast-growing black and minority-owned businesses, innovation and choice in terms of supply chain partners will be limited.
Upping the ante on small black and minority-owned businesses -- turning them into fast-growing powerhouses -- won't come naturally or easily. Consider this: Over the years, major corporations, confronting stiff competition globally and domestically, have consolidated their supplier pool. They're reducing the number of companies they do business with, and the ones they do trade with are themselves large, highly sophisticated, well capitalized and experienced. In lots of cases there is an "old boys" network established with these suppliers. Stated another way, the big supply chain participants and suppliers don't include enough -- and don't seem on the path to include enough -- growing black and minority-owned businesses. (This is certainly true when viewed in the context of demographic shifts.)
That said, a number of enlightened corporate leaders have taken a harder, more proactive look at reality and the challenges of the future. They have designed outstanding programs to increase the number of minority suppliers, ones that have the potential to fill key supply-chain roles. Exxon Mobile, AT&T, PepsiCo, Toyota, Microsoft and Boeing, among others, have pushed the envelope, challenged old paradigms and opened the doors for the development and participation of qualified, sophisticated and forward-thinking black and minority-owned businesses. Each of these multinationals has...
There are now 18 U.S. companies that are each procuring annually over a one billion dollars with minority firms. As a result, these big companies are creating jobs in black and other minority communities across the nation, developing new leaders and role models and fostering a new dialogue between blacks, Hispanics, Asians and whites. This makes the U.S. stronger, and these companies should feel proud. The overriding question, though, is why aren't more big companies doing this? If there were, our country would be stronger.

Barnes & Noble introduces textbook rentals
Published: January 11,2010
NEW YORK (AP) — Bookseller Barnes & Noble Inc. is launching a textbook rental program for college students, making it the newest entrant in a growing field.
The new program, available though campus bookstores or the stores' Web sites began as a pilot program in three of its 636 campus bookstores in the fall. It has now been expanded to 25 bookstores.
Some college bookstores that will offer the program include Ohio State University, The University of Maryland, Borough of Manhattan Community College and University of South Carolina.
Barnes & Noble said books will rent for 42.5 percent of their original price, so a $100 book would cost $42.50 to rent for the entire term. Textbooks can be rented at books stores or online — with orders shipped to a campus bookstore.
College students spend about $667 per year on required course materials, according to the National Association of College Stores.
The effort is operated through the New York company's subsidiary Barnes & Noble College Booksellers LLC. Barnes & Noble bought the Barnes & Noble College Booksellers unit back from its chairman last year in a deal worth $596 million.
College textbook rental programs have been around for decades but have recently begun to generate more interest, in part because Congress last year set aside $10 million to provide grants for college bookstores to start rental programs, said Kathy Mickey, senior analyst and managing editor of the Education Group at Simba Information.
Follett Higher Education Group, one of the biggest college bookstore operators, also started a textbook rental program in the fall and said this month it is expanding it to about 22 campuses.
Online sites such as Chegg.com and academic publishers such as Cengage Learning also started rental programs last year.
"There has been heightened interest in textbook rental programs," said Mickey. Through 2008, about 2 percent of college bookstores offered such programs, but "that's picking up," she said.
The market can be tricky, Mickey added, because professors must use the same books for several semesters in order for book-rental companies to make money on the programs.
"There clearly is new interest in textbook rental programs, but are they going to click any more than they have over the last many decades, who knows?" Mickey said.
Barnes & Noble shares fell 53 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $17.77 during midday trading. The stock has traded between $23.97 and $45.55 over the past year.

East Xtra: Jeannette has eye on its next goalFebruary 14, 2013 5:00 AM
Share with others:
The seniors on the Jeannette boys basketball team realized this was their last chance to earn something that had eluded them their entire high school careers -- a piece of a section title.
The Jayhawks had played second fiddle to Greensburg Central Catholic the past three seasons. They went into their section finale last Friday against the Centurions with a chance to share the section title but ultimately Jeannette would fall again, 52-45, and have to settle for second.
Now the seniors and the rest of the team turn their focus to something else that has eluded them, a trip to the WPIAL Class AA championship game.
The previous time Jeannette won a section title and reached the Palumbo Center to play for the WPIAL championship, the current seniors were in eighth grade.
Their ability to put the lost section title in the rear-view mirror and focus on what lies ahead may be a critical factor on whether the Jayhawks can get over the WPIAL quarterfinal hump.
"Obviously every team has a goal to win the section," Jeannette coach Adrian Batts said. "We had a chance but we didn't play our best. You learn from those things."
Jeannette has lost in the WPIAL quarterfinals the past three seasons.
This season the Jayhawks appear to have the talent to make a deep postseason run. Four starters returned from last season. They wrapped up the regular season with a 17-4 overall record, 10-2 in Class AA Section 3. Their only losses came to Greensburg Central Catholic (twice), Brentwood High School, one of the top teams in Tennessee, and South Fayette on a shot at the buzzer in their regular-season finale on Saturday.
"We had a very good [regular] season," Batts said. "I think we will continue on. We just have to be ready in the playoffs for whatever seed we get, we have to be ready to go. We know now you can't lose."
The Jayhawks will play the winner of Saturday's preliminary-round game between Avonworth and Aliquippa next Wednesday at a site and time to be determined.
"We have to get back to work and get focused," Batts said. "We are happy for the opportunity. I always tell them: 'Yesterday is history, today is a mystery.'"
There is no mystery regarding the talent on Jeannette. Julian Batts, a 5-foot-11 sophomore and the coach's son, runs the point for the Jayhawks. He is a returning starter as are seniors Duke Brown, a 6-3 guard, and Jordan Edmunds, a 5-10 guard, and 6-5 senior center Seth Miller. Miles Sunder, a 6-4 junior, starts at forward.
Jeannette is doing this all without last year's leading scorer, guard Orlando Morgan, who isn't playing this season for personal reasons. He averaged 17 points per game. In his absence Brown emerged as the team's leading scorer, averaging 19 points per game.
"[Losing Morgan] was tough," Brown said. "He was another big threat for us, shooting-wise and defensively. He was always a big presence, but we had to learn to play through it."
Julian Batts is second on the team, averaging close to 16 points per game. The rebounding responsibility has been shared by nearly everyone. Brown, Miller, Edmunds and Sunder all average around eight rebounds per game.
Batts and Edmunds each scored 13 in the section-final loss to Greensburg Central Catholic. Brown (16), Batts (14), Miller (13) and Sunder (12) all reached double figures in a Feb. 5 win against Shady Side Academy.
Jeannette finished the regular season with the best scoring defense in the section, allowing only 47.4 points per game, that ranks fifth in WPIAL Class AA.
"Since I have been here, defense has always been our staple," said Batts, in his seventh year overall at Jeannette and fourth as head coach. "We defend and rebound and take care of the ball, we usually do a very good job of that."
Senior guard Garrett Elliot and sophomore Zac Altieri are the first two guards off the bench while 6-3 junior Michael Wise is the first forward off the bench.
Jeannette had an impressive regular season with notable non-section victories against Class AAAA Latrobe and playoff-bound teams Monessen and Wilkinsburg to go along with winning 10 of 12 section games, but the Jayhawks are not about to dwell on their regular-season resume.
"This is a new season," coach Batts said. "What you did yesterday, doesn't matter. You have to come in ready to play. All our guys are experienced with the playoffs.
"Who knows what will happen with the way the ball bounces in the playoffs? But with that being said, I think we can make a run."hsbasketball

Voters hit the polls day once again on Tuesday for the primary runoff elections. The big local race is between republicans Kelly Pinion and Mike Arismendez for Lubbock County Clerk. NewsChannel 11's Kealey McIntire tells us voter turnout has been relatively high for a runoff election.
Early voting numbers totaled at just over 2,800, that's higher than the total voter turnout in the last runoff election two years ago. The Lubbock County Elections Office says the local race between Arismendez and Pinion is most likely generating the high voter turnout. The two candidates spent election day at polling locations gathering support and thanking voters.
It's election day once again, but after the runoff election voters will send either Arismendez or Pinion to the Lubbock County Clerk's office.
Arismendez spent his morning at the Lakeridge Family Ministry Center polling location thanking voters and calling supporters to make sure they voted.
Across town Pinion did the same at Rush Elementary. Both candidates say their presence is a chance to show voters they are hard workers who will see a project through to the end. "Just being visible, letting them know I am a hard worker," explained Pinion.
Arismendez is former mayor of Shallowater and he's served as legislative director for State Representative Carl Isett. He tells voters his management and legislative experience qualifies him to keep records for the county. "It gives me the qualifications needed to be able to be a good leader for Lubbock County," says Isett.
Pinion says her experience working in the county clerk's office for 12 years makes her the better candidate. "I feel like my hard work and my experience and stability- I think that's going to prove to be my strongest points," stated Pinion.
After nearly four months of campaigning both candidates say they're highly anticipating the outcome. "Anticipation, glad it's at the end, I am nervous, a whole mixture of everything," said Pinion.
"After doing this for a couple months and then doing 30 days more, you know it's just a matter of knowing this is the final day," said Arismendez.
