PLAINFIELD — Both Northridge High School and Fairfield Junior/Senior High School fared well at the 2013 Indiana State Small School Competition for Mixed and Women's show choirs Saturday.
Plainfield High School hosted the ISSMA–sanctioned event that featured 10 mixed choirs and nine women's choirs from across the state. Northridge's Northern Lights and Starlights both placed third and Fairfield's Fusion and Expression choirs both placed fourth.
Northridge's Women's Choir Starlights under the direction of Catherine Yoder was looking for a repeat of last year's Grand Champion win. The choir had won the previous week's competition at Norwell High School.
"We all worked very hard and we prepare to win," Yoder said. "But that doesn't mean that's what happens. Does it mean we were disappointed? No. We couldn't have done any better. I was very pleased with the performance."
Starlight's songs included, "Reach for the Stars", "Shakin' the Blues Away", "Rainbow Connection", "Love Train" and "The Sound of Love."
For the Northern Lights mixed choir, the third place win was one place higher than last year's.
"In the last five years, our mixed show choir has placed in every position but grand champion," said Choirs Director Dan Baker. "So we've had quite a bit of success when we were fortunate enough to be in state finals. Both were excellent performances."
The weather-themed show featured a variety of songs in a Rain Medley, as well as "Riding the Storm Out", "After the Rain", and "Remember When it Rains."
The Northern Lights Orchestra won Best Band for the second year in row for both the Starlights and the Northern Lights performances.
"They are incredible musicians," Yoder said. "That was very exciting for everyone."
The LightWorks Technical crew also assisted with both programs.
This year's women's division win at Norwell High School, Northern Lights fifth state finals appearance in as many years, and Northridge's third group Lyric Lights Concert Choir the winner in this year's Huntington Midwest Showcase, marks the first time in the school's history that that all three competition choirs have been named Grand Champions at some point in the season, said Baker.
Fairfield's 30-member Women's Choir Expressions were back in the competition this Saturday after a year break.
"We took a year off to restructure show choir and bring in a new choreographer, Jeff Cox," said Choirs Director Ben Kambs. "Jeff has helped to bring a new level of professionalism and energy to the girls' performance – and that played a large part in our placing Saturday."
This is the first year the group had qualified for the show choir state finals and Kambs said he was very pleased with the fourth place finish.
Fusion, Fairfield's Mixed Choir also brought home a fourth place finish with a transportation-themed show featuring the songs "Love Train", "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" and "Vehicle."
"They gave their best performance of the year and finished strong," Kambs said. "It was a great show and we are all very proud of them."
The 40-member group along with a 12-member pit band and 10-student stage crew recently placed fourth at the Midwest Showcase at Huntington North High School and third at the Avon Vocal Invitational in Indianapolis.
Last year the show choir place fifth at ISSMA state competition.
Kim Goudy, whose son Kelby is a sophomore in Fusion was happy with the results of the competition.
"Fairfield has less than half the number of students than do most of the top 10 choirs in the small school division," Goudy said. "We are a small school with a big heart!"
The two fourth place finishes were rewarding for Kambs.
"This season was one of many challenges, but many rewards," Kambs said. "We have all grown and learned from the experience and are excited to keep raising the level of our program."
In the mixed show choir division, Dekalb High School won Grand Champion as well as the award for Best Vocals; Plainfield High School placed second and won Best Visuals; Northridge placed third and was awarded Best Band; Fairfield Junior/Senior High School placed fourth; Bishop Dwenger placed fifth; Churubusco, sixth; New Castle Chrysler, seventh; New Palestine, eighth; East Noble, ninth and Twin Lakes, tenth.
In the women's show choir division, Plainfield was named Grand Champion and won Best Visuals; Dekalb places second and won Best Vocals; Northridge places third and won Best Band; Fairfield placed fourth; New Palestine, fifth; Bishop Dwenger, sixth; Washington High School, seventh; East Noble, eighth and Anderson Prep Academy, ninth.

The Baylor defense has been an under-acheiver during the Coach Art Briles era. It is this group that has ineffectively used up-graded athletes and failed to develop players that could have been effective "projects." Last year's failure at the end of the season could be laid at this units feet, given the amount of points given up during the last four games.
As a result, Coach Briles made an inspired hire. He was able to get one of the top defensive coordinators - Phil Bennett - to come to Waco when he (along with the rest of the Pittsburg staff) was fired last fall. Bennett is a proven leader that will build quality defenses out of talent left by previous coordinators.
Bennett certainly has his work cut out for himself. Last year's defense was deeper and saw a first round draft choice leave for the NFL. There are holes in this year's unit, but it appears that (even with these problems) Bennett has begun to make a big difference in the performance of the green shirts this fall.
This position has been much maligned during the Norwood tenure. Traditionally, they have been very soft and allowed too many easy completions resulting in drive-extending plays. The biggest task for Bennett was overcoming the past mind-set (don't get beat deep).
In addition, Bennett lost three young men that could have helped the depth at this position - Bryan and Baker to graduation and Blaylock to transfer. Bennett could have used these young men in this transition year to provide additional competition and depth, but it was not to be.
The position took an additional hit when Tuswani Copeland, a promising young player from MacArthur HS in Lawton, OK, went down with a season-ending knee injury. This left the Bears with only three solid performers with some type of quality experience at the corner position. But it has become obvious that the coverage this fall is much tighter. While it has resulted in a few big plays, the group appears to have made the adjustment to tighter coverage. This has really tested the quality receiving corps the Bears possess offensively.
The top returning performer is Chance Casey (5'11", 185, Junior ) out of Crosby HS. Casey has been a starter for two years. He has good speed and decent cover skills. He has had to overcome the soft philosophy he has played under for the last two years. This transition has not always gone well. Casey has the ability, but he must master man-coverage techniques that were not emphasized in the previous defensive program. Casey still struggling with providing tight coverage without interferring. He must get better at this.
Casey does appear to be improving, as you would expect of an athlete of his caliber. You can expect Chance to become a top-performer in the Bear secondary this fall.
Casey is being pushed VERY hard by Joe Williams (5'10", 190, Sophomore), the transfer from Fort Scott Community College by way of St. Louis, MO. Williams is a very good man-cover corner. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in strength and speed. In one-on-one work, it is Williams that consistently provides the closest coverage. He does a great job of working to the ball without interferring. Williams still is learning how to integrate these coverage skills within the various coverage schemes employed by Coach Bennett. Joe probably will be able to become familiar enough with these concepts to elevate himself to the point where he successfully makes a spot for himself in the rotation. Both Casey and Williams have proved themselves to be quality tacklers, as well.
At the other corner, Tyler Stephenson (5'11", 160, Sophomore) from Lancaster High School near Dallas was being pushed very hard by Copeland. Stephenson has good man cover skills, but he gets pushed around by big receivers due to his lack of size - he's a really skinny cornerback. Stephenson has improved his ability to play against physical players, but it will continue to be a problem. He must continue to improve his tackling, too.
These three guys are the top players at the corner position. To think that the Bears will be able to go through an entire Big XII season without losing one or more of these guys to injury is probably a mistake. Therefore, the staff must develop more quality depth at the position.
The Bears need some of the support players to be able to step into this position and make an impact. T.C. Robinson (5'10", 185, red-shirt freshman) has been moved back to corner from his previous position at safety. Robinson, from Abilene Cooper High School, will have a steep learning curve to be ready to play against TCU on September 2nd. Terrence Nathan (5'11", 165, Sophomore) from West St. John HS in Edgard, LA appears to be one young man that might be able to step up to this level. Anthony Webb (5'10", 185), the highly recruited corner from La Porte High School, is one freshman that might be able to fight his way into a playing role during his first season.

I've been thinking about all of potential additions for the Padres this offseason, and it seems there is a barrier at every corner. None of the offensive free agents are very appealing to the Padres, and the most attractive ones aren't the best fit. This has been explicitly stated by Fowler and Byrnes. Acquiring somebody like Stanton, Cargo, Cuddyer, Cespedes, Bautista or Encarnacion just seems unrealistic for all parties involved. The last thing I want to see the Padres do is overpay in prospects in order to make a "statement". Even if we were after a top of the rotation pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka is going to be outrageously expenesive due to every single team being interested in him. And don't you dare even bring up the idea of Andre Ethier becoming a Padre, cause that would be the Worst Thing Ever. Don't even mention the possibility.
Then there are the rumors of the Padres being interested in Mark Trumbo. We've discussed this possibility and it has mixed, albeit mostly positive reviews. It seems almost certain that the Padres would have to give up either Alonso, Venable or Denorfia plus a starting pitcher (maybe more) in order to get Trumbo via trade. That reality makes the trade seem even less appealing, cause I don't think we want to let any of those guys go right now, especially for someone like Trumbo.
We've all been brainstorming possible offseason acquisitions, and I keep coming back to the constant topic of the front office wanting and needing to make a "statement". And strangely enough, there really aren't many opportunities for this statement to be made in a smart manner with limited risk. And unfortunately, there isn't that perfect solution staring us in the face.
And considering all of the barriers at play, I think Trumbo's teammate Josh Hamilton just might be the best possible solution.
The Angels made the dire mistake of overloading their team with costly power hitters and not nearly enough effective pitchers. They're coming off a $141 million failure of a season and have a long list of contract commitments for the years to come. And Angels fans are clearly unhappy with these costly commitments & their lack of farm talent. The Angels are stuck with Albert Pujols. That is a fact. His contract is far too long & big, and they are in desperate need of pitching. But they might be able to get creative in dealing Josh Hamilton. This isn't very likely to happen, but the Padres are likely the best possible fit.
Before I get into why trading Josh Hamilton makes sense for both the Padres and the Angels, let's explore the biggest hurdle keeping this from happening. Josh Hamilton has a full no trade clause (and he was also given a luxury suite as part of his contract). Knowing this, it seems impossible that he would be able to get traded. But if both the Padres and the Angels got very creative, they could make this happen. San Diego is very close to the O.C. and Hamilton wouldn't even have to necessarily move. It would be an easy transition.
Here are my reasons why this trade makes sense for all parties involved:
- Josh Hamilton's contract might be huge, but it is not very long. He is signed for the next 4 years at a total of $106 million. I'm proposing that the Padres pick up the majority of this salary (hopefully they wouldn't have to get too creative like having to offer Hamilton a luxury box). If the Padres were responsible for most of this salary, the Angels would be pretty eager to make this happen. I think a theoretical deal of the Padres paying for $90 mill of this contract, plus giving the Angels Robbie Erlin & Burch Smith is a win-win for all parties involved.
- The Angels desperately need pitching, specifically young pitching, and we have quite a lot of minor league pitching depth. I would certainly consider Erlin & Smith expendable in a blockbuster trade like this.
- The Padres desperately need to make a BIG "statement", and acquiring Josh Hamilton is about as big as it gets (without selling too much of the farm). This would especially be a huge statement to the more casual San Diego fans, "fair weather" fans, etc. Josh Hamilton is a Big Name.
- If you think of this as a 4 year, $90 million free agency deal, it doesn't seem that bad. It's almost impossible to find a deal for an All Star player that is so short. Hamilton would only be signed through his age 36 season. He's coming off a down year, but he very well could easily bounce back, and we've seen players like Carlos Beltran and Michael Cuddyer thrive in their 30's. It's when players are signed into their late 30's that it starts getting very problematic.
- The Padres wouldn't have to get rid of any of their current offensive players. We have no idea what to expect from Maybin. Quentin is realistically going to only be good for 80-120 games. And injuries of some kind in the Outfield seem like a foregone conclusion. Considering all of these variables, an Outfield mix of Hamilton, Quentin, Maybin, Venable & Denorfia makes a ton of sense. Having this much high OF depth could be the key to our success. And besides, that's a nice looking batch of outfielders for Buddy to play with. We would likely have to part ways with Kyle Blanks, which seems like a distinct possibility anyways.
- Josh Hamilton is not very well-liked in Anaheim right now and could welcome the change & the fresh start. He also would have some teammates in Nick Hundley and Chase Headley who share his devout Christian belief. You never know, this could be a "deal breaker".
- The Angels get to free up quite a bit of money from their massive payroll, and they would simultaneously get two young pitchers with #3 potential and most likely #5 reliability right now. This especially makes sense considering the high price tag for free agent pitchers.
- Contracts are only increasing every single year, and $90 million over 4 years isn't that bad in today's market.
- The Padres could then go out and get themselves a 1 year Starting Pitcher free agent (to ease the burden of losing Erlin & Smith), whether it be Roy Halladay or Clayton Richard, etc.
- The Padres would likely be contenders in 2014 and with the help of a great farm system, we should be a contending team for a good time to come.
This obviously is a major gamble (isn't every baseball decision), but we wouldn't have to commit to a player for 6-7 years and we wouldn't have to give up any top-tier prospects. I don't see Hamilton regressing from his down season of 2013. I see those numbers likely become the norm with the serious potential of his numbers improving.
Think of the many lineup possibilities the Pads could have with Hamilton in the mix. It makes me excited.
Your thoughts? Bring some advanced stats to the table, make some prognostications, make me laugh, tell me I'm crazy, let's have some fun. God, I hate the offseason.

Smart and elegant, the Stirrup is a three-quarter length men's waterproof jacket from the equestrian-inspired Day at the Races capsule.
Proving that style needn't be sacrificed for substance, this flatteringly tailored overcoat is a summer shower saviour, thanks to its lightweight cotton outer, waterproof yet breathable drop lining and hardworking taped seams. Its clean lines and classic styling create a refined appearance, with elegant details including a fixed half belt, working cuff and neat button fastening. Barbour's equestrian heritage is evoked through the authentic Tattersall trim to the lining and under-collar, while handwarmer pockets, underarm eyelets and a zipped inner security pocket add practical finishing touches.

Oh dear...bordering on obsessive. You're really not a fan of Digital EPO, are you?
Depending on the privacy settings they've chosen, you won't be able to see that info for everyone.
Is the sort of thing Strava could put in to look for automatically I'd have thought.
Tbh if you use strava for its intended use , ie your own training and monitoring, then why worry about digital epo?
I've an idea - why not go for a ride with them?
After all, if their Strava says they can do the hill in 40 seconds, but two minutes later they are still huffing and puffing up it, something's amiss.
As for "your own training and monitoring", there are plenty of other good apps for that. What Strava adds is the competitive element.
So if I 'juice up' my ride using a moped, will the segment smell of two stroke?
I think chiv30 has hit it on the head here
I'm always suspicious of fast people riding without cadence monitors. Lack HR monitor I can understand, I don't always wear mine.... but cadence? Nah, I reckon if you're even vaguely serious you'll have one on all the time if you're putting rides on Strava.
Any segment recorded by the Strava App on a phone I'm instantly suspicious of, the GPS isn't accurate enough.
So I guess cheat codes do exist in real life...
Strava is not real life.
Does anybody just go out and ride to see where they can end up without burying their heads in Garmins, cadence monitors, heart rate readers etc? I sound like an old SPD sandal wearer here, I'm really not.
I put in plenty of fast times on strava and have never had cadence or heart rate, so am I a cheat?
I take Strava quite seriously, both for the competitive element, the social side and for my own progress. I have a heart rate monitor, but never owned a cadance monitor. With a limited budget, it's simply not anywhere near the top of my list of purchase priorities but I would say I am more than 'vaguely serious'.
Hmm, I use strava a fair amount but I really wouldn't want to take it too seriously. For starters all GPS units ate prone to inaccuracy to varying degrees - eg in a marine environment it is not unusual for a unit to map you on dry land when at sea - what you really don't want is vice versa :-o !
So yes, you might lose that KoM to someone by gps error (or worse) but shouldn't you really be competing against yourself ?
The best thing about Strava is that it is on my phone in my pocket, so I neither have my ride tarnished by the display of real time data nor have to fix unsightly equipment to my bikes. Obviously I mustn't be serious or fast as I don't feel the need for a readout to tell me that I'm pedalling fast.
Surely the greatest 'race' of all (initially anyway and for sometime after)is about your own improvement? Stravas a good tool for logging rides and speed/distance etc. But like drfabulous mine is in my pocket and stays there till I am safely home, if I improve great, if not then its not the end of the world, the improvement will follow with more rides and less weight. By extension cheating Strava is cheating yourself. So whats the point in that?
One of the great pleasures on a bike is getting lost. That to me is incompatible with Strava obsession. (BTW I wear SPD shoes not sandals!).
I did La Marmotte last Saturday, didn't get lost or throw in an extra col just for fun. Strava still had me pegged at 7,400m of vertical ascent. That shows how well they handle accuracy!

This article almost didn't happen. Karissa pitched an idea to create an insert for our upcoming issue with our coverage of SXSW 2011 and I hestitated because I knew it would mean more work for me. But I said yes anyway which ended up working out, because it won first place at TIPA in the Special Edition/Special category. Go team!
I had pitched the idea to cover StyleX because it was the first time they included an event for fashion during the week. Karissa almost passed on it because we had a lot of material to cover and limited space to fit it all. Eventually, I just said I'm covering it and planned a page for it. I squeezed a two-minute interview with Joah, attended some events like the panels and a fashion show and wrote the article.
SXSW gets new style
By Sarah Vasquez, Assistant Editor
Originally published on March 28, 2011
Adding to the music, film, technology, and video games, StyleX introduced fashion to this year's South by Southwest.
Instead of using professional models for the runway, several musicians that performed in the SXSW Music Festival or are affiliated in the Austin music scene walked the catwalk. However, this was intentional.
Click here to read the rest at the Accent.
I briefly attended StyleX this year because Tje walked the runway. Look at him:
He looks like a pro.
Before he strutted his stuff, he let me tag along with him backstage in make-up and hair. It was a bit awkward trying to have a conversation with him while people were trying to get everyone ready, but it's whatevs.
I didn't get a makeover, but I felt pretty special being there with all the other musicians and getting the behind-the-scene look without a press badge. And I got a free cup of coffee. The boy treats me well.
After these two StyleXs later, I read about this. Good job, guys.
I need to stop interviewing people I've admired for years. It's hard to control the fangirl when I do, and then I just embarass myself.
I met up with Eve 6 in front of Red 7 for our interview, and as soon as the band came out of thier van and introduced themselves to me, I freaked out (well, on the inside).
You gotta understand. This band defines my high school years. I've followed this band since "Inside Out." "Here's to the Night" is still my jam. I still listen to "Think Twice." I <3 this band like whoa.
I did tell them that I was a long-time fan and was trying really hard to keep it together for them. They were cool with it.
But seriously, I gotta keep that fangirl in check.
Q&A: Eve 6
'90s rock band to release a new album after nine years
Originally published on March 21, 2012
Believe it or not, this year was the first time Eve 6 performed at South by Southwest Music Festival (SXSW). The band that brought us the sing-alongs "Inside Out" and "Here's to the Night" has played in Austin before, but never during the week-long festival. Eve 6 chatted with UWeekly during SXSW to discuss the upcoming album Speak in Code, which comes out April 24, and how fans welcomed them back after nine years of not hearing from this rock trio.
Everyone knows the final score of a game instantly, and can see the box score just as fast. So it then becomes the reporter's job to find something different, something unusual, a person with no personnel access could not.
There are some great tips here for any beat writer.

First, one of the options was only having PSLs for the lower bowl and upper deck sidelines. The upper deck endzone and corners were free of PSLs.
Second, even if every seat is subject to a PSL doesn't mean that every seat will be sold as a season ticket. Hell, we can't do that now without PSLs. Adding an additional charge will trim down the season ticket numbers pretty significantly at first, although it will work its way back up over the years. But I highly doubt we ever get to the point in Minnesota where every seat is sold as a season ticket. That means that the same number or more single game tickets will be on the resale market.
The idea that PSLs are somehow going to screw or take advantage of the fans is misguided. The biggest impact will be on the people who can afford $170+ for a great ticket, and like you said, PSLs won't be as big of an issue.

No more taxes
Dear Mr. Donnelly:
You have been elected to the US Senate by an Indiana electorate that favored Governor Mitt Romney by a wide margin. You are lucky. You will not be lucky for long if you vote to raise tax rates on any segment of the population.
Thank you,

this book is simply amazing! i usually don't read military history, but i am sure glad that i made an exception with this! gemmell creates fiery and passionate love affairs to how ancient men lived on seafaring vessels. we even get some lessons in how huge boats were built. he also does not stint on character development. i felt that these folks were actually real, and also had the same emotions and passionate endeavors that we all have today. he also creates very believable descriptions about the beautiful ocean, and verdent forests. most importantly, though, he creates very strong women characters. as a feminist, this is among the first qualities of a novel that i want to read about. women in the ancient world certainly knew difficulty via their gender, but still, women like andromache work through this, and manage to keep their self identity intact. andromache is not afraid to go after priam, the slimy, calculating king of troy. ah .... nothing like palace intrigues to keep a reader most interested! so go read this .... and have a good time enjoying same!
Recommended by a patron. I loved the recreation of Troy. Violent, but good. Funny that it is sci fi -- it is historical fiction but with a twist (the story is different than Homer's). No real "fantasy" elements in it.Can't wait to read the next one.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Three lives will change the destiny of nations.
Helikaon, the young prince of Dardania, haunted by a scarred and traumatic childhood. The priestess Andromache, whose fiery spirit and fierce independence threatens the might of kings. And the legendary warrior Argurios, cloaked in loneliness and driven only by thoughts of revenge.
In Troy they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries - a maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery. And beyond its fabled walls blood-hungry enemies eye its riches and plot its downfall.
It is a time of bravery and betrayal; a time of bloodshed and fear. A time for heroes.
This is the first book in Gemmell's Troy Series, which retells the story of the Trojan War.

While the citizens of Colorado may have voted to decriminalize the recreational use of marijuana, its use by military service members there will remain illegal.
According to an Air Force news story released from Buckley AFB in Colorado, using pot still violates federal law and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The restrictions apply to all service members, family members and civilians with access to the base, according to the article.
Lt. David Bruton, acting commander of the 460th Security Forces Squadron, notes that people who enter the installation "are under our jurisdiction and will be prosecuted."
Bruton recommended service members should stay away from people and situations that could put them near marijuana usage now that its recreational use is legal in the state, and instead should "play it smart and just stay away from it."
The decriminalization measure takes effect Dec. 6.

Experience the beauty and bliss of an
Ayurvedic Body Treatment
. Ayurveda is the Science of Longevity and provides us with a map to our natural basic rhythms.Our Ayurvedic massage blends are specially formulated using organic herbs, pure essential and base oils to help bring balance back to the body.
This treatment provides external oilation of the body which nourishes the tissues, and begins to 'unearth' the toxins within the cells (accumulated on both mental and physical levels) so that the harmonious flow of energy and life force is returned within the body.The choreographed massage strokes loosen and soften stagnation and congestion in the lymph system and allow these toxins to return to the GI tract for elimination. The entire body is oilated and then blankets are wrapped around you so that while you are lying quietly, the pores are digesting the oils into your cells.
This treatment is used in conjunction with Shirodhara, or
Bliss therapy
. It is essentially streaming of heated oil onto the forehead. It is a powerful treatment to relieve imbalances of the mind including anxiety, fear, depression, nervousness, fatigue and psychological disorders. Allopathic medicine says that 80% of all disease is stress related which makes this therapy very useful in today's lifestyle. Following the Bliss therapy, the head is massaged which allows for the treatment to penetrate to a deeper level. Discover why it is called 'Bliss Therapy'!

Tulsa Carnegie Library Statistics
The Carnegie Library Grant for Tulsa was originally awarded $12,500.00, which was raised to 42,500.00 in 1913, and again raised to 55,000.00 in 1915. These grants were awarded after statehood in 1907.
J. W Hawk was the architect, with Henry Whitfield as consulting architect. Incidentally, Whitfield was Carnegie's brother-in-law, and he contributed several plans for Carnegie libraries during the span of the library program's construction period.
Tom O'Keefe of Tulsa was awarded the bid as contractor.
The Tulsa Carnegie Library
The letter written in 1904 to request a library grant for Tulsa expresses the difficulties felt by many Territorial towns. In the letter, Mrs. H. J. Seaman states that the city of Tulsa faces difficulties in keeping up the public schools:
"There is no solid basis as yet for taxation, except personal property..."
The letter continues with the sentiment felt by many in the new settlements:
"The gift of a few thousand would be of more benefit to us at present to help tone down the newness, or I might say, the unsettled state of things, than to wait for the natural progress of civilization which will ultimately come to all these towns."
The Tulsa Carnegie library was torn down c. 1965.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Oakland Raiders this Sunday in the Black Hole. Pittsburgh is coming off a solid victory at home over the New York Jets that brought them back up to 1-1 on the season, while Oakland has fallen to 0-2 after getting run all over on the road by the Miami Dolphins. Pittsburgh now heads to the West Coast looking like a football team that should once again contend in the AFC North, while Oakland has so much work to do to even try and be competitive.
Nevertheless, it is surprising to see the Steelers are picked by almost everyone to beat the Raiders, considering Oakland has a pretty strong homefield advantage and teams always seem to struggle making the transition from coast-to-coast. 11 of 12 experts at ESPN, nine experts at CBS (including the prediction machine), and four experts at Yahoo Sports (including the users). Only Adam Schefter of ESPN has picked the Raiders to win on Sunday.
Talk about the game with Steelers fans at Behind the Steel Curtain, and with Raiders fans at Silver and Black Pride.

Bus monitor to retire, spend campaign money
In this June 28, 2012 photo, bus monitor Karen Klein, of Greece, N.Y., speaks with members of the media following an award ceremony in her honor at a radio station, in Boston. An online campaign that aimed to raise $5,000 to send Klein, a bus monitor who was recently bullied by students, on vacation is winding down ó after tallying more than $683,000. As the month-long campaign neared its end Friday, July 20, 2012, a spokeswoman for the fundraising site Indiegogo said more than 30,000 people had contributed to 68-year-old Klein, with donations coming in from 84 countries and all 50 states. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
GREECE, N.Y. - An American school bus monitor who was verbally abused and tormented by students is now mulling over what to do with her embarrassment of riches.
A video showing Karen Klein, 68, being tormented and insulted on the bus ended up online and caught the eye of Max Sidorov of Toronto. He launched a fundraising drive on Indiegogo.com to pay for a holiday.
Sidorov, 25, set the initial fundraising target for $5,000 dollars, but donors kicked in $703,873 by the time his campaign wrapped up Friday night.
"I still don't know how that happened," said Sidorov.
Klein now must decide what she'll do with the money.
"I want to save some, I want to invest in some things to make it grow, and donate to a couple of groups that I have in mind," she said in a phone call from her home in Rochester, N.Y.
Klein has a granddaughter who has Down syndrome and a grandson with autism, and has some organizations that work with special needs kids in mind.
Klein said she would like to be able to thank everyone personally for their support, but with numbers climbing into the thousands it's just not possible.
"Hopefully everybody out there knows how much I appreciate everything," she said.
Sidorov has made the trip to New York a number of times to visit Klein and her family.
"We chat on the phone, we send each other texts, we're good friends now," he said.
"I just hope that the money makes her happy," said Sidorov. "It really warms my heart to know that there's so many great people out there."
He is pleased with how the campaign has been able to raise awareness about bullying.
"A lot more people are starting to stand up for anti-bullying and anti-violence so it's great that this happened because a lot more people now can get helped."
Klein is also thinking about where she'll go on vacation.
"I've been to Hawaii, I loved Hawaii," she said.
Klein and her family are planning to take a cruise too, but in the short term, she'll be doing some travelling in the continental U.S.
She's looking forward to a trip to see Tim McGraw in concert. The country singer wanted to meet with Klein but she wasn't able to make it. His staff sent Klein his itinerary and told her to pick a city.
"I picked New Orleans because I've never been down there," she said.
The invitations have continued to pour in, and Klein has a packed itinerary for August.
"This is really unbelievable that people really want me to go and talk or see people," said Klein. "It makes me feel good."
Klein has been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from the public.
"They thanked me, and they said that they loved me and they were so glad that it happened to get this out so far away, you know it was the whole world basically," said Klein. "That made me feel even better than money."
Sidorov said last month that the campaign might be able to give Klein an early retirement, and it looks like that is now going to happen.
Klein confirmed that she will not be returning to work in the fall.
"I have to go do all my paperwork so I don't have to work anymore, so I can retire," said Klein.
—By Melinda Maldonado in Toronto
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version carried an incorrect spelling for Max Sidorov's last name.

The Redskins are, as predicted, scouting college QBs. This is due diligence- any team in our position would do the same. Nonetheless, it inspires me to post this poll.
My personal opinion? JC has paid his dues, and is about to be rewarded. Assuming that Favre does retire this time, he will go to camp with the Vikings and compete with Jackson for the starting roll. Then, we'll see what Campbell does behind a solid offensive line. My bet is he proves to be a much better passer than Jackson.

text: Monsignor John Bendik is the pastor of St. John Parish Community of Pittston. Bendik, 70, attended West Side Central Catholic High School and graduated from St. Meinrad College in Indiana with a degree in philosophy. He received his master's in divinity from the St. Meinrad School of Theology. He has a brother, Frank, and sisters, Dorothy, Helenanne and Maryrose. He lives in Pittston.You recently celebrated the 45th anniversary of your ordination in May. What did that mean to you? "It was and is the proudest moment of my life. All of my last 45 years have been the proudest moments in my life. Every moment of my blessed life has been special."Forty five years ago you were ordained. What led you into priesthood? "It started within my family. I was very blessed to have such good parents and a loving family. All of my siblings are generous and reach out to serve others. I went into the seminary in 1959 at St. Meinrad with the intention of studying to be a priest. Intention is different than total commitment. I had done undergraduate work in philosophy so that gave me the opportunity to become a priest in eight years as opposed to 10 years. As I continued studying I became more excited about being a priest and it felt as if the grace of God was leading me to a firm commitment."Outside of studying, what were you doing during those eight years in Southern Indiana? "I was a chairman for Cooperative Action for Community Development. I would funnel out tasks with other chairmen to seminarians and they would in turn aid me in helping the poor and tending to kids in orphanages. It was an opportunity to help people who may not have been paid attention to. Many times it would be individuals who were without a family. We would bring kids to skating rinks and other fun activities. It really sparked my interest even further in becoming a priest."Your caring contributions continued once you were ordained. Where was the next stop? "I was ordained in 1967 and was assigned to St. Matthews in East Stroudsburg. I was there from 1967 to 1981. In 1970 I was assigned full time to be the campus minister at East Stroudsburg University for the United Campus Ministry at the college. That kept me involved in the development of several programs while I was there. I worked with others in serving special needs kids and was active in the Big Brother/Sister program. We once mowed a field with kids from the projects so they could have a field to play ball on. There were "adopt a grandparent" programs in which people were assigned to the elderly, some in nursing homes. I fondly remember my time at East Stroudsburg. I feel I reached many people. I remember the masses being packed at the campus on Saturdays and Sundays."Misericordia was next among your many assignments. How was it there? "I was chaplain at the university for two years before becoming the director of Campus Ministry in 1984. We did many of the same programs that I was involved with at East Stroudsburg. However, there was one that was very unique. We had a program called Luv-a-nun. Kids were assigned to retired nuns and both the women and the students looked forward to each others company. It was time well spent by all involved. You spent a decade in Clarks Summit at Our Lady of Snows parish. What were some of your key achievements or memories while you were there? "I was involved with the development of religious education there and later, when the congregation grew, I helped create a new Church of St. Benedict on Newton Ransom Boulevard."Your final stop is where you currently call home. What have been some fond memories, achievements and proud moments while you have graced the city of Pittston with your charitable contributions and hard work? "There are four unique parishes that we combined back in 2006; St. John the Baptist, St. Casimir's, St. Joseph's, and St. John the Evangelist. It has been a privilege serving as pastor to this congregation through the years. In 2007 Seton Catholic High School closed its doors but a new opportunity opened up for the underprivileged the years to follow. In November of 2007 we opened a health clinic where people without insurance could get the care they need. We have helped over 2,500 people with medical issues, including 187 children in our pediatric department, get the attention they so desperately need. We have doctors, social workers, dentists and many volunteers and workers that make our efforts successful with over 5,500 office visits to our medical facilities at the building."What are some things outside of your work that you enjoy participating in? "I was an avid racquetball player for over 40 years before some medical issues of my own. I enjoy time with family and friends very much."Where do you like to go when with friends or family? "I really enjoy the shore with friends and I used to go to a cabin in Michigan. Locally I like to go with friends to the restaurant Agolino's."What is your favorite music? "I enjoy classical music and Johnny Mathis and the '50s genre."�What type of books do you enjoy? "I really like any historical novels." Do you have a favorite quote or saying you live by? "Be what you is, because if you be what you ain't, than you ain't what you is.".�John Gordon writes about area people for the Meet feature. Reach him at 970-7229

George W. Marshall-Hall. String Quartett in C (ca. 1895) [from the estate of Johann S. Kruse]
Marshall-Hall was the first Professor of the Conservatorium, from 1891 until he was hounded from the position in 1900 over some allegedly "immoral" poems. While he was born in London and died in Melbourne, the dedicatee of this quartet followed the reverse path. Johann Secundus Kruse was born in Melbourne in 1859, but went to Berlin in 1875 to study with Joseph Joachim, later becoming a member of the legendary Joachim Quartet. Marshall-Hall was inspired to write this quartet after one of Kruse's return visits to Melbourne.
