ALTAMAHAW — R.D. Smith scored his first Late Models victory at Ace Speedway in 10 years.
That the Burlington driver reeled in, passed and then held off Barry Beggarly to win Friday night's 60-lap featured event made the special performance even sweeter.
"I don't have more respect for anybody than that black (No.) 82," Smith said, referring to Beggarly. "To be able to catch him and go by him … and then when he was up there on the outside, I was definitely worried."
That moment-of-truth situation came on a restart with five laps remaining.
Beggarly, the four-time former champion of Ace's premier classification, chose the higher, outside lane, pulling his Chevrolet alongside Smith's No. 16 Ford, which proceeded to pull away while the other contending cars bottled up in pursuit.
Ultimately, Smith climbed from sixth position at the start and led the final 18 laps to deliver his first Late Models victory since 2003.
"This means a lot, an awful lot," he said. "We've probably run 30 or 35 (Late Models) races since then and just haven't had much success, maybe a second or a third here or there."
Pelham's Beggarly placed second for his best result of the young season. He came in just ahead of Burlington's Dean Fogleman and McLeansville's Dustin Rumley, in a spirited sprint to the finish line. Pelham's John Moore took fifth.
Earlier in the night, Beggarly topped qualifying with a lap of 15.787 seconds. After avoiding an inversion of the fastest qualifiers, Beggarly led the race's opening 42 laps.
Smith, muscling past Moore and Fogleman while rising through traffic, tracked down Beggarly with increasing quickness during the middle portion of the race.
Kevin Parker's lapped car became a factor in the battle at the front of the 11-car field.
"The lapped cars kind of held him up," Smith said. "And when I caught (Beggarly), he was on the outside. He actually was up so high I think he got a little rubber on his tires. So he got loose up off the corner and I got a great run on him just initially.
"It would've taken me a lot more laps to get by him had that set of circumstances not played in my favor."
-- In the 35-lap Modifieds race, what appeared to be a feel-good victory for Jerry Scott – his first since 2006 – was denied when his car failed post-race inspection due to a carburetor issue.
That left Devin Steele, the race runner-up, as the winner. Brian King was elevated to second in the finishing order, after Scott denied his quest for a fourth consecutive victory to start the season.
Scott's No. 88 car led all 35 laps. With King rocketing to the front after starting last on the 11-car field, the race's defining moment came with 17 laps remaining.
Scott's car veered high as King attempted a pass for the lead on the outside, between turns one and two. Scott said his car bounced off the inside guardrail. King disagreed.
Nevertheless, King's substantial momentum was short-circuited, allowing Scott to regain the lead and Steele to retake second position.
-- In the 30-lap Limited Late Models race, Boo Boo Dalton collected his third straight victory to remain perfect in the division this season.
Dalton led the final 17 laps after passing early leader Ziggy Zimmerman and later withstood three double-file restarts during the last four laps, including a green-white-checkered ending.
Jason Payne placed second and Randy Sampson came in third.
-- Friday night's other winners at Ace were Michael Tucker (25-lap Mini Stocks) and Keith Brame (20-lap X-treme Cars).

Does anyone know of any local shops to buy disc golf supplies?
Does anyone know of any local shops to buy disc golf supplies?
The club is selling a lot of discs right now as fundraiser for our A-tier later this year. The next chance to buy discs will be at the Louisville Classic this Saturday at Charlie Vettiner. Martin will have them and just about everyone knows him so just ask if you can't find him. Here's the thread with everything we have, who has it and where they'll be: http://louisvillediscgolf.com/forum/...ead.php?t=4517
Derby City Discs is a new shop that opened up this year in Louisville at 9310 Blue Lick Rd.
Eddie has a huge selection at his store River Town Spirits, 155 By Pass Rd, Brandenburg, KY
Those two places probably have the best selection, or you can try a Play It Again Sports.

Derby city disc. Blue lick road Louisville ky.
Southern Indiana needs a little shop somewhere. We have a few courses here and no place to buy disc unless you catch the club on a tourney day or drive to BFE (no offense to those of you who live in BFE)
You may check with Judge if you're interested in Gateway discs.
He's in New Albany, too.

DEEP RUN — South Lenoir gave the fans a little bit of everything Friday night, and clinched a state playoff berth in the process.
Some nifty baserunning led to an early advantage and a pair of timely hits late widened the margin as they defeated East Duplin 7-2 to sweep the Panthers and close out the regular season with a win.
Depending on how things shake out in the remaining games in the East Central 2A Conference, South Lenoir (11-9, 8-6) could be as low as the league's fifth seed or as high as No. 3.
Regardless, the Blue Devils are in the postseason. Again.
"When we play Friday we're going to be the best, most prepared team we can possibly be," first-year South Lenoir coach David Combs said. "We win by doing the little things and being aggressive."
Head's-up baserunning plays by Cody Ladich and Jake Villabona added to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Villabona broke for second with two outs, and while he ran back-and-forth in a rundown Ladich scored from third before the tag was made to go up 3-0.
Ladich's slow roller down the first-base line in the fifth fell in for a hit with Garrett Holland at second, and seeing that no one was covering home Holland kept on going for a 4-2 lead.
It was plays like those — Justin Howard in the on-deck circle actually waved Holland home — that have been the backbone of the Blue Devils' success to date.
"Our offense is situational and timely hitting," Combs said. "We're not going to ground-and-pound anybody."
Holland (2-1), a senior right-hander, was solid in his final start at home. He gave up two unearned runs on two hits, struck out five and took a one-hitter into the fifth.
Three errors behind him in 5 2/3 innings led to East Duplin's lone two runs.
Fellow senior Wyatt Janning pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his second save but they weren't easy. He struck out three and worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh.
East Duplin (7-14, 3-10), which has lost five in a row and seven of its last eight, got a decent start out of Jacob Carter. But like Holland, the left-hander was hindered by errors, and of South Lenoir's seven runs only one was earned.
Carter fanned three and gave up six hits in the loss.
"I'd like to see what happens when we don't make two or three errors. … You can't make mistakes like we made and give them a chance to get extra hits. That's just the bottom line," Panthers coach Tim Jenkins said.
"I thought we pitched well enough to win, but we didn't hit when we needed to hit. And that's kind of been the story of our season."
Ladich, who went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs, singled home a pair in the sixth for the final score two batters after Grant Tyndall's RBI single made it 5-2.
After the first two Blue Devils batters of the game reached on errors, Holland drove home a run in the first on a hard-hit ball up the middle for a 1-0 lead. Justin Howard made it 2-0 with a groundout that scored Taylor King, who was running for Brett Davis.
South Lenoir's 3-0 lead held until Holden Taylor scored on Holland's throwing error in the fourth. Blaze Tanner scored in the fifth when Taylor's fly ball to left was misplayed by Villabona.
Those types of plays are the ones the Blue Devils need to sure up come the state playoffs, which begin next Friday, Combs said.
"We're a team that has to stay mentally focused all game," he said. "If you can't play defense you can't win. We have to be clean on defense."

OXFORD, Ohio – Playing in a steady rain throughout, the Miami University softball team cruised to an 8-0 victory over Northern Kentucky on Wednesday. The game ended after five innings due to the run rule. The RedHawks improve to 14-15 on the season, while the Norse fall to 3-27.
The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was canceled due to the weather.
Miami struck early with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. With two outs, senior designated player Kayla Ledbetter doubled to left center. NKU intentionally walked junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb. That came back to haunt the Norse, as senior first baseman Allie Larrabee followed with a shot to deep right center that scored both Ledbetter and Lipscomb and gave the RedHawks a 2-0 lead.
Five runs in the bottom of the fourth would help put the game out of reach. Larrabee led off the frame with a single to left field, and was lifted for a pinch-runner, sophomore Tanya Busby. Junior third baseman Remy Edwards put down a sacrifice bunt, but the Northern Kentucky third baseman threw the ball away, allowing both runners to advance two bases. The right field threw the ball away trying to get the ball back in, which allowed Busby to score and Edwards to advance to third base.
A sacrifice fly by sophomore right fielder Hailey Reed brought home Edwards and made it 4-0. The next three RedHawks reached on a walk, an error and an infield single. With the bases loaded and one out, senior second baseman Kristy Arbour put down a squeeze bunt attempt. Junior catcher Shanyn McIntyre was able to slide in before the force tag to give Miami a 5-0 lead. Ledbetter followed with a single down the left field line, scoring redshirt freshman shortstop Eryn McCarver and sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey to make it 7-0.
In the bottom of the fifth, Edwards led off with a single to left field. A sacrifice bunt by Reed moved her up to second. After NKU recorded an out, a double to left center by McCarver brought Edwards home and gave the RedHawks the 8-0, run-rule win.
Senior pitcher Paige Myers kept the Norse off the board for her third shutout of the season. When they had the bases loaded and only one out in the top of the second, she responded with a strikeout and a pop-up to get out of the jam. Myers allowed only three hits and struck out seven in five innings of work.
Ledbetter finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run scored. Larrabee was 2-for-3 with two RBI. McCarver was 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored.
Miami returns to Mid-American Conference play when its host Toledo on Friday for a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.

Is this plagiarism, or just really close to it?
"Stolen Bones
After spending some time studying the works of this burst of popular atheism, I have realized that they have very little to offer in the way of anything new or profound — just old bones to pick. You can't teach old dogs new tricks. The similarity in language and argument to the popular atheists who wrote a century or so ago, is quite comical. In fact, in some places they seem to verge on plagiarism. In my book, The Return of the Village Atheist, I document some of the arguments of the former Communist murderers as an eerie echo in Sam Harris, for example, but those parallels exist due to the logical conclusions of atheism (a culture of death). Here are some more instances, these smacking of intellectual borrowing and unoriginality.
For example, Harris uses the language of bygone atheist Bertrand Russell (1872-1970). Russell was a famous philosopher, mathematician, and loud opponent of religion. Among his anti-faith arsenal was the argument that the Church, "by its insistence upon what it chooses to call morality, inflicts upon all sorts of people undeserved and unnecessary suffering."[iv] Russell first gave this comment in 1927. Harris digs up the same 80-year old slander:
"Religion allows people to imagine their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral — that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings."[v]
Russell continued that the Church is,
"an opponent still of progress and of improvement in all the ways that diminish suffering in the world, because it has chosen to label as morality a certain narrow set of rules of conduct which have nothing to do with human happiness."[vi]
Harris echoes, "Religion allows people to imagine their concerns are moral when they are not — that is, when they have nothing to do with suffering or its alleviation."[vii]
Russell's basis for morality was that which "would make for human happiness."[viii] Harris repeats: for morality, "there need only be better and worse ways to seek happiness."[ix] Same thought, no reference (and neither, by the way, could tell you exactly what happiness is, or when it is legitimate or illegitimate).
Harris could not even resist using the same example as Russell. The Cambridge scholar ridiculed what he saw as the Roman Catholic strictness on marriage:
Supposing that in this world that we live in today an inexperienced girl is married to a syphilitic man, in that case the Catholic Church says: 'This is an indissoluble sacrament. You must stay together for life' . . . I say that that is a fiendish cruelty.[x]
Harris uses the same bark, only updating syphilis to HIV:
"If you can believe it, the Vatican is currently opposed to condom use even to prevent the spread of HIV from one married partner to another."[xi]
The similarities between the two writers on this issue are more extensive yet. Russell wrote,
"Take, for example, the question of the prevention of syphilis. It is known that, by precautions taken in advance, the danger of contracting this disease can be made negligible. Christians, however, object to the dissemination of knowledge of this fact, since they hold it good that sinners should be punished. They hold this so good that they are even willing that punishment should extend to the wives and children of sinners."[xii]
For Harris, his alleged Christian ambivalence to human suffering "explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year."[xiii] Similarly, he complains,
"We now have a vaccine for HPV that appears to be both safe and effective. . . . And yet, Christian conservatives in our government have resisted a vaccination program on the grounds that HPV is a valuable impediment to premarital sex. These pious men and women want to preserve cervical cancer as an incentive toward abstinence, even if it sacrifices the lives of thousands of women each year."[xiv]
I refute these lies in Village Atheist. Here I just intend to show how Harris can't even make up his own lies. Rather, he repeats Russell's ideas, almost his very words, hoping to bring smear the Church. This level of intellectual pirating would get you expelled from any major university, and would end the career of any major journalist. But atheistdom, as we theists have been saying for some time now, is a worldview that destroys the foundations of morals. So much for the atheist's vaunted quest for intellectual honesty.
Today's generation of atheists even plagiarize each other. Harris seems to do so to Dawkins without citing him. In one place, Dawkins tries to argue that morality improves in history regardless of input from Christianity. Harris picks up his language without reference. Compare the two side-by-side:
Dawkins: "Although martin Luther King was a Christian, he derived his philosophy of non-violent civil disobedience directly from Gandhi, who was not."[xv]
Harris: "While King undoubtedly considered himself a devout Christian, he acquired his commitment to non-violence primarily from the writings of Mohandas K. Gandhi."[xvi]
Dawkins himself has no real ammo against the faith, except that which he has garnered from Russell. His only defense against Christian scholar Alister McGrath's insightful critique of him is to dig up an old bone from Russell's back yard. Russell referred to the impossibility of disproving God as ridiculous, because, he said, it would be like disproving the existence of an undetectable teapot orbiting Mars. I have exposed the fallacy of Russell's "celestial teapot" in a previous post; here we should just see the bankruptcy and utter tiredness of the modern atheists in their reliance on a dead and gone generation. Even though Dawkins cites his source, he nevertheless uncritically uses the same old argument. The old arguments failed once. They are just as flea-ridden today."

Optimal Service and Arrival Rates in Jackson Queueing Networks
2000, Naval Research Logistics
Kurt M. Bretthauer
In this paper we present an algorithm for solving a class of queueing network design problems. Specifically, we focus on determining both service and arrival rates in an open Jackson network of queueing stations. This class of problems has been widely studied and used in a variety of applications, but not well solved due to the difficulty of the resulting optimization problems. As an example, consider the classic application in computer network design which involves determining the minimum cost line capacities and flow assignments while satisfying a queueing performance measure such as an upper limit on transmission delay. Other application areas requiring the selection of both service and arrival rates in a network of queues include the design of communication, manufacturing, and health care systems. These applications yield optimization problems that are difficult to solve because typically they are nonconvex, which means they may have many locally optimal solutions that are not necessarily globally optimal. Therefore, to obtain a globally optimal solution, we develop an efficient branch and bound algorithm that takes advantage of the problem structure. Computational testing on randomly generated problems and actual problems from a health care organization indicate that the algorithm is able to solve realistic sized problems in reasonable computing time on a laptop computer.

Eyewitness Investigates has learned that the state Legislative Auditor is investigating whether the New Orleans Police Department improperly requested disaster reimbursement last summer for officers who worked Southern Decadence weekend on the heels of Hurricane Isaac.
Raymond Burkart III, attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police, confirmed that officers have been questioned about their pay during the disaster declaration, as well as the annual gay and lesbian gathering that followed it over Labor Day weekend.
'The issue really centers at City Hall and that's where it should be,' Burkart said. 'The rank and file officers don't make the decisions about what type of trip sheets they're going to fill out.
They don't make the decisions on how their pay code is going to run. And they don't make the decision about who's going to reimburse the city, if at all, with regard to Decadence or any other type of emergency.'
NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas said he had no knowledge of any such investigation.
'While we're aware that some officers alerted local media to what they perceive as issues, we know of no investigation in progress,' Serpas emailed in a statement. '
The NOPD would readily comply with any such investigation as we believe all policies were properly followed for officers working citywide. Any story that insinuates wrongdoing is unfair to the hundreds of NOPD officers who have worked tirelessly during Isaac and the recent special events that highlighted our city so well.'

Head to Sequim for festivals, fields of lavender
Sequim Lavender Farmers Association
Purple Haze Lavender Farm is on the Heritage Farm Lavender Farm Tour, one of two tours in Sequim on July 19, 20 and 21.
Sequim Lavender Farmers Association
Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm is on the Heritage Lavender Farm Tour.
Sequim Lavender Farmers Association
Purple Haze Lavender Farm is on the Heritage Farm Lavender Farm Tour, one of two tours in Sequim on July 19, 20 and 21.
You can also smell, eat, pick and learn to grow purple starting Friday at Sequim Lavender Weekend.
Farm tours, festivals and everything lavender celebrate the Olympic Peninsula region's purplehood on July 19, 20 and 21.
Events hosted by Sequim Lavender Farm Faire and Sequim Lavender Festival make for a three-day wave of purple haze.
There's plenty of the lavender to go around. Sequim and the surrounding Dungeness Valley is a lush paradise where the plant grows like crazy.
You'll see why it's been called "Lavender Capital of the U.S."
Bring the kids and the dog. Pets are not allowed on farm tours, but pet sitting will available at Carrie Blake Park.
Lavender is the star of the show, but other attractions include a quilt show, arts studio tour, jazz and open-air market.
Free city shuttles go to all the lavender events in town with stops downtown and at designated parking lots.
Not every flower gets a color in its honor.
Lavender lives up to the honor in many ways. It is used for cooking, cleaning, bathing, burning and decorating.
Historically, it was used to repel insects, treat wounds and incite passion, as well as in burial rites and as offering to gods. Queens freshened up their castles with lavender and drank it in their tea.
Now you can do all of the above too.
There are a total of 13 lavender farms to visit on two separate self-guided tours.
Sequim Lavender Farmers Association spokeswoman Deborah Anastasi Black said one new farm is Victor's Lavender owned by Victor Gonzales.
She said lavender changed Gonzales' life and, through lavender, he is changing the lives of others.
Gonzales didn't know anything about lavender when he came to Sequim from Mexico in 1997 in search of a better life. He now grows oodles of lavender varieties.
"His skills are being sought internationally," Black said. "He's been working with farmers in developing countries, helping them get their lavender industry up and thriving."
Black said the six farms on the Heritage Lavender Farm tour, which has an admission fee, are larger.
"At each farm there's a festival unto itself. There are workshops, demonstrations and culinary lavender," she said.
The seven places on the free Sequim Lavender Festival Farm Tour also are a lollapalooza of lavender.
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; firstname.lastname@example.com

Saturday Science Links: October 18, 2014
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Let me briefly suggest three elements in the pine savanna ecology that Christians may take as prompts for meditation on life in Christ.
The religion-environmental movement is powerful exactly for these reasons. When people are motivated by a deep-rooted desire to worship God, they are willing to invest time, energy and emotion to what they believe is the right thing to do.
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.
As much as I love the fertilized soccer green at the foot of the library, I can't imagine Gordon College without the woods and wetlands. They are our best classrooms.
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
As we mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we'd do well to remember that it was successful because of its remarkable grassroots response. We've all become aware of the daily choices we encounter where we could all do our part.

Final Score: Louisiana Tech 52, Illinois 24
Champaign, IL (Sports Network) - Colby Cameron tossed four touchdown passes as the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs cruised to an easy non-conference win over the Illinois Fighting Illini, 52-24, at Memorial Stadium.
Cameron completed 15-of-22 passes for 284 yards for Louisiana Tech (3-0), which has won 10 of its last 11 games dating back to last season. Quinton Patton hauled in six receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns, while Tevin King ran in two scores on the ground.
For Illinois (2-2), Nathan Scheelhaase started under center (8-of-11, 85 yards, TD, INT) before being relieved for Reilly O'Toole, who completed 19-of-25 passes for 120 yards. Donovonn Young led all rushers with 78 yards and also added a touchdown. The Illini committed six turnovers, and it was their worst non-conference regular season loss since 1996.
Illinois started the scoring six minutes into the game when Scheelhaase connected with Ryan Lankford on an 18-yard touchdown.
Louisiana Tech tied the score at 7-7 a few minutes later on a 27-yard touchdown catch by D.J. Banks from Cameron. The Bulldogs took the lead on their next possession on a nine-yard touchdown rush from King. They scored their third straight touchdown just before the close of the first quarter on another rushing score from King.
The Illini halted the Louisiana Tech run early in the second quarter with a 26- yard field goal from Taylor Zalewski to make it 21-10.
Illinois brought its deficit to just four later in the second quarter following a one-yard touchdown rush from Young. The score would remain 21-17 heading into halftime.
Louisiana Tech wasted no time padding its lead in the third quarter as Cameron completed a 78-yard touchdown pass to Patton less than a minute into the second half.
The Bulldogs continued to pull away just a few minutes later with another Cameron-to-Patton touchdown connection (21 yards) to go up 35-17. They tacked on another score midway through the third quarter when Antonio Mitchum returned an Illinois fumble for a score.
Louisiana Tech added on more points before the end of the third quarter. A 33- yard field goal from Matt Nelson brought its lead to 45-17.
Cameron added yet another touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, this time a 38- yard strike to Myles White. Illinois scored one more touchdown before the game was finished on a one-yard rush from Reilly O'Toole.
Louisiana Tech has now scored 50 or more points in each game this season.

My item came in absolutely perfect. They are nearly identical to what is shown and what you expect to receive!! I have used this company in the past and will continue to use it based on my amazing experience.
Great Product.
I personalized these programs with purple, black, and white. They looked great. I was a little surprised at how thin they were, I expected them to be printed on thicker than normal, paper. Regardless, they are very pretty and I cannot wait to hand them out at my wedding. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
Beautiful and classy wedding program.
The program is classy and elegant. Our guests will be able to keep it as a souvenir of our special day. The customer care at MagnetStreet is excellent!!

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Placing four runners in the top 20, the Miami University women's cross country team earned a second-place finish Saturday morning at the 2012 Mid-American Conference Championships, hosted by the University at Buffalo at a cold and rainy Beaver Island State Park.
The RedHawks fought through the elements to total 81 points for their runner-up finish while Toledo, which is ranked 20th nationally, captured its third straight MAC title with a league-record 24 points, placing all five scorers in the top eight. Ohio was third behind Miami with 92 points, as the Bobcats' Julie Accurso won the individual title in 20:48.4. Central Michigan (124 points) and Eastern Michigan (144) rounded out the top five in the 12-team field.
Redshirt junior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio) was Miami's top finisher for the second straight meet and second time in her career, placing 10th overall in 22:00.6, improving 21 places from last year's MAC Championship. By finishing in the top 14, she earned Second-Team All-MAC honors for the first time in her career.
Sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio), who was a Second-Team All-MAC performer as a freshman last year, was the second RedHawk to cross, taking 15th overall in 22:11.0. She just missed repeating as an All-MAC recipient as Toledo's eighth runner snuck in two seconds ahead of her for 14th place overall, though Hoover only counted for 14 points because only the top seven runners per team count for team scoring.
Fellow sophomore Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y), running just miles from her hometown, was Miami's third scorer in 17th place, clocking 22:11.9, while also improving 21 spots from last year's MAC meet. Junior Erica Howes (Fairfax, Va.), running in her first MAC Championship, was right behind in 18th in 22:15.1, while freshman Brenna Poulsen (Indianapolis, Ind.) rounded out the scoring five in 25th in 22:22.8.
Fellow freshman Julia Valencia (South Lyon, Mich.) was Miami's sixth runner in 27th (22:24.3) while sophomore Anna Lamb (Granville, Ohio) completed the RedHawks' top seven in 42nd (22:41.3).
Miami has now finished in the top three at the MAC Championship in each of the last six years, winning titles in 2008 and 2009 and taking third three times, including each of the two previous years.
The RedHawks next run at the Great Lakes Regional Championship Friday, Nov. 9 in Madison, Wis. where they will try to earn a spot in the NCAA Championship, which is Nov. 17.

The Erie, Pa. community kicked off events for Breast Cancer Awareness Month on Oct. 1, and Lake Erie College of Medicine (LECOM) took time to help recognize those afflicted with the condition.
The LECOM chapter of the American Pharmacists Association in Erie, Pa. handed out pink ribbons for all students and faculty to wear throughout the day and all were encouraged to wear a pink shirt or tie.
|LECOM students, faculty and staff gathered in the school's atrium in Erie, Pa., on Oct. 1 to create a "Human Pink Ribbon" in recognition of the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Those who wore pink to the school had the opportunity to form a "Pink Red Ribbon," a symbolic gesture aimed to show support for those who live with breast cancer and survivors of the condition.
According to Sohini Sarkar, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pa., the event brings together medical and pharmacy students and faculty to raise awareness for an important cause.
"As future pharmacists and physicians, our students will be on the front lines working to prevent the onset of cancer and encouraging patients to be screened," she said. "These students will eventually play a prominent role in the communities they will serve, and it will be their duty to contribute to the awareness of breast cancer."
On Oct. 3, LECOM students will participate in the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" walk on Erie's bayfront. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly five million walkers have raised more than $340 million through this event since it began in 1993.

HouseStark wrote:It's not unreasonable to use the 1098-T figures, but they are often wrong, so it's good to have an understanding of what you are paying. It shouldn't be that difficult to obtain and review an actual account statement from the institution. The statement should show what was billed and what was paid when, and whether it was qualified expenses such as tuition and fees, or whether it was other.
IRS Pub 970 wrote:Related expenses. Student-activity fees are included in qualified education expenses only if the fees must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance.
However, expenses for books, supplies, and equipment needed for a course of study are included in qualified education expenses whether or not the materials are purchased from the educational institution.
IRS Pub 970 wrote:Qualified education expenses do not include amounts paid for:
Medical expenses (including student health fees),
Room and board,
Transportation, or
Similar personal, living, or family expenses.
This is true even if the amount must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance.
Kevin M wrote:OK, so even though the 1098-T may show the amount billed for 2012 as $10,000, you didn't pay all of it (my 1098-T does not show amount paid, only amount billed). If it were me, I'd do whichever was to my advantage depending on my tax situations in 2012 vs. 2013. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, since the credit you don't get this year you'll get next year; I think I'd keep it simple and just count the entire $5,000 paid in 2012 as a qualified expense, then include the other $5,000 as qualified expense for 2013.
VGSailor wrote:Thanks everyone for your replies.
I'm not sure if my question was clear or if I made clear what my question was.
I think it boils down to this. Let's say,
Tuition Spring 2013: $10,000
Room Spring 2013: $5,000
In December 2012, I pay $5,000 to cover some of the costs of 2013; In January, I pay the remaining $10,000. I can only claim the $5,000 that was paid in $2012.
But, how does that $5,000 get allocated in this case? Does all of it go to tuition, in which case $5,000 is qualified education expenses? Or does it all go to room and I can claim none of it? Or do I do the prorated and say 2/3 * $5,000 = $3,333?
This is what doesn't make sense to me. It's not like that $5,000 went towards something specific. It was just a payment that gets credited to the overall bill. Right now, I favor the prorated method.
EDIT: I also realize that TurboTax asks me for what I paid. That is what I'm trying to figure out and hence my question above. I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I feel like I'm missing something.
(4)Treatment of a comprehensive or bundled fee.— If a student is required to pay a fee (such as a comprehensive fee or a bundled fee) to an eligible educational institution that combines charges for qualified tuition and related expenses with charges for personal expenses described in paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the portion of the fee that is allocable to personal expenses is not included in qualified tuition and related expenses. The determination of what portion of the fee relates to qualified tuition and related expenses and what portion relates to personal expenses must be made by the institution using a reasonable method of allocation.
(3)Personal expenses.—Qualified tuition and related expenses do not include the costs of room and board, insurance, medical expenses (including student health fees), transportation, and similar personal, living, or family expenses, regardless of whether the fee must be paid to the eligible educational institution for the enrollment or attendance of the student at the institution.

We have two questions today that are quite different — one about what happened to the Compare Foods store in Gastonia and the other concerning the rise of stink bugs in the area.
We also are still working to find out what's going to happen with the old Sears building on Franklin Boulevard. If you have information, please feel free to call or email.
Compare Foods
The Compare Foods grocery store in the Dixie Village shopping center on West Franklin Boulevard seemed to be a thriving business before just closing one day.
Gazette reader Jason Kincaid wanted to know what happened.
The decision to close the store had nothing to do with business, but rather the building, said Eli Pena of Compare Foods.
The mid-February snow storm revealed some roof damage at the store, which made the building unsafe, Pena said.
"After the roof gave way, the snow and water also caused some damage, so it's not going to be just the roof. It's going to be a major overhaul," Pena said.
No decision has been made on whether to re-open the store, he said.
Deputy Fire Chief William Thompson said the store called the fire department after seeing water running through light fixtures and across electrical systems.
"Our main concern was just to shut the electrical power off to prevent fires," Thompson said.
Code Enforcement came out and documented additional structural problems, Thompson said.
A business can't legally operate with structural damage to its building or without electricity. We'll keep you posted on what's going on with the business.
Stink bugs
What's the deal with all the stink bugs, asked another Gazette reader.
Stink bugs — in particular the brown marmorated stink bug — was first reported in North Carolina in 2009. Since then, the creatures have sort of just moved in and taken over, according to the N.C. Cooperative Extension Office.
Smash one and you'll know how they got their name. Their shells resemble shields and they are related to the squash bug, a consistent garden pest.
The stinky bugs can be a pest of fruit trees when they feed on the fruit. Stink bugs damage apples by leaving corky, brown spots just under the skin of the fruit. Their eggs resemble those of squash bugs and are laid in clusters on the undersides of leaves.
During the summer, stink bugs hang out on plants. Cool weather has them seeking shelter and migrating indoors.
Some tips from the Cooperative Extension Office to keep them out of your home:
- Install tight-fitting sweeps at the bottom of doors.
- Install or adjust weatherstripping to close cracks around doors.
- Caulk around windows, doors, and fascia boards.
- Repair or replace damaged window screens.
- Seal openings where cables or pipes enter foundation or siding.
No practical treatment exists to keep stink bugs off of your property. The most effective method is to seal up your home.
Pesticides labeled for application around windows and doors provide a temporary solution.
