LUMBERTON — Lumberton High School will have a new head football coach when it takes the field tonight at Hoke County.
Coach Joe Salas was told Thursday morning he was no longer leader of the program effective immediately, Lumberton interim athletic director Mackie Register confirmed to The Robesonian.
"I'm sad this happened and from experience, I know we were headed in the right direction," Salas said. "I'm upset with the timing and the way it was handled, but you can't cry over spilled milk."
Seven consecutive losses and growing discontent from staff, players and parents, were primary reasons for his dismissal. Players and assistant coaches were informed of principal Larry Obeda and the athletic department's decision shortly after first period in the cafeteria.
Salas was not granted permission to meet with his team according Register, a longtime coach at the school who stepped in for Tripp Satterwhite in an administrative position last month. Obeda said that he will provide a statement on the school's behalf this afternoon.
"Everyone was shocked at first when they told us, but then after the fact, it's like we knew it was coming," said senior wide receiver Bryan Carpenter. "It was kind of weird for everybody."
The hammer came down Thursday when the Pirates made a final decision to move in a different direction after seven weeks of football under the current regime. Salas, who went 0-11 in 2012 at West Bladen, was hired in January to replace Mike Brill after six playoff-bound seasons.
In 2009, Salas led South Johnston to the state 3AA championship game.
"As losses pile up, the volume gets louder," Salas said. "I've been through this seven times and know it's part of the process. I lost sight of the fact it had been six years since they had been through this and they may have forgotten how tough that first year can be when your team is inexperienced and your schedule is demanding."
At the time of his hiring, Salas requested patience from the Lumberton brass and said it would take time to install his pass-heavy Air Raid offense at a program used to running the football. He enacted a four-year plan for success and broke his program into three tiers — God-approved, mission centered and hedgehog focus — hoping to use each to help the Pirates take the next step toward a state championship.
"My job is to now fade into the background and support my girls," Salas said. "They both like it at Lumberton High School and right now want to finish the year before we move on. I did a poor job of communicating to stakeholders as the season progressed and there's always a normal level of drama that goes on that first year.
Without the benefit of a single returning starter on offense, Lumberton suffered through a treacherous start in Salas' first season, a two-month stretch that included a 34-point homecoming loss to Hoggard and last week's Southeastern Conference setback to Pinecrest.
Lumberton's administration had seen enough.
"We aren't ready to talk on the situation at this time," Obeda said. "We'll give our statement on Friday."
Defensive coordinator Ron Cook has been promoted to interim head coach and met with his players before practice Thursday. The Pirates went through their normal routine despite the unexpected circumstances.
"Ideally, you don't want your first opportunity as a head coach to come in this way, but it is what it is," Cook said.
Lumberton's defense has been its most effective unit this season behind the individual performance of senior linebacker Demetri Sheridan who's the state's second-leading tackler. Cook, who was at Red Springs last season along with Lumberton offensive coordinator Lawrence Ches, has utilized a 4-3 base defense this year to take advantage of the Pirates' speed off the edge.
He says minor changes will be made in game plan and philosophy over Lumberton's final four games.
"A few things will be different, but we don't want to get the kids out of the routine they've been used to these last few months," Cook said. "We'll maybe change the way we practice and switch up a few things."
Salas says Cook will do a fine job in the the interim.
"The kids are awesome and have really worked their butts off," Salas said. "They deserve a fantastic finish."
Public Schools of Robeson County athletic director Jason Suggs declined comment on this story.

|Honda Grand Prix Drivers Visit the Kids at All Children's Hospital
On Thursday, March 24, drivers from the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg visited the kids at All Children's Hospital with autographed hats, calendars, and toys. Justin Wilson, Indycar driver with the #22 Dreyer & Reinbold team, as well as Star Mazda Series' Team Pelfrey drivers Connor de Phillippi and Nick Andries toured ACH and made new fans.
"It was a fantastic visit," Wilson said of the experience. "A lot of great kids, great nurses, and great families. I saw lots of smiles, and that's always good!"
The visit was made possible by Racing for Kids. The Detroit-based organization uses the popularity of motorsports to focus public awareness and funding on the health care needs of children. Racing for Kids has visited more than 20,000 young patients in nearly 400 children's hospitals throughout the world.
The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is run on a 1.8-mile, 14-turn waterfront circuit that includes a combination of adjacent downtown streets and extends onto runways at Albert Whitted Airport. The event marks the start of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season.

National team competitions
25-16, 20-17, 17-26, 22-23
Gaz Metan Medias got off the mark in EuroChallenge Group I with a thrilling 84-82 victory over Joensuun Kataja.
A battle between two teams considered to be overachieving after coming through the qualifying round went right to the wire as a fine fightback from Kataja fell agonisingly short.
An outstanding first quarter had the hosts leading 23-10 on Kyle Shiloh's lay-up with two minutes to go and their lead ballooned to 31-16 on a three-pointer from Slobodan Dundjerski early in the second period.
His lay-up then made it 36-19 but Kataja had no plans to just fade away and an 8-2 run made it 37-27 on Daniel Coleman's dunk.
They trailed 45-33 at the break but made a more concerted comeback effort in the third period, with back-to-back three-pointers from Coleman and Antti Kanervo part of an 8-0 run that made it 49-43.
They drew level with another Kanervo three to make it 59-59 with 58 seconds left in the period, setting up a nervy finish.
Medias kept their noses in front through the first nine minutes of the fourth quarter, but their lead was never more than four points.
Petri Virtanen's three for Kataja tied it at 76-76 with 2:07 to go, but Medias responded with Dundjerski hitting two free throws before Zoran Krstanovic made a jump-shot after a pair of misses from Coleman at the other end.
Kataja coach Jukka Toijala called timeout and got the response he wanted. Jermaine Flowers hit a pair of free throws before Kanervo's three-pointer gave them an 81-80 edge.
A turnover from Ivan Lilov gave them the chance to extend, but Kanervo only split his free throws before Shiloh snatched the lead back with a three nine ticks from time.
Flowers' turnover put Medias back in control and although Lilov only split his late free throws, time ran out on Kataja.
Lilov led Medias with 19 points while Shiloh had 17 and Ivan Ivanovic 16. Krstanovic added 12 and Dundjerski 10.
Kanervo poured in 25 points for Kataja with Coleman just behind on 23 and Flowers adding 16.

Antti Kanergo, player Joensuun Kataja"We started very poorly and I don't know why. We had too many mistakes, we missed a lot of shots, and we didn't play as we used to play. In the first half Gaz Metan was better and I think that was the key of the game."
Jukka Toijala, coach Joensuun Kataja"It was one of our best games, but we couldn't find the intensity of what we played usually, especially in the first half when Gaz Metan scored easily. That was not actually a problem because we succeded to come back in the second part of the game, but our real problem was the defense. At the end Kanervo scored a couple of outside shoots, but it wasn't enough. When you loose like that, you always want to play again."
Marcel Tenter, coach Gaz Metan Medias"I'm glad we succeded to win this match. In my oppinion we deserved it. We worked a lot for this game, and there many more to come. They have a very special player who made our life terrible tonight and we must be more concentrated."
Kyle Shiloh, player Gaz Metan Medias "It was a good game for us, but we can always play better. There were a lot of things we did wrong, especially in the second half towards the end. There were also good things too, so there's a lot that we can improve for the next EuroChallenge game and championship game. We just look to get better every game."

Three steps to make it out of the impenetrable (financial) fog
Tuesday - 4/9/2013, 5:57am EDT
By Sam Mok
Managing Member, Condor International Advisors;
Former CFO, Labor Department
Special to Federal News Radio
In April 1802, Thomas Jefferson wrote of an "impenetrable fog," much like the one that frequently blankets the nation's capital during the spring months, though the fog he referred to was perhaps not the first one that comes to mind. Instead, the fog of which the third president of the country penned was the one enveloping the financial management system at our highest level of government.
Sam Mok (Courtesy of Condor Intl. Advisors)
Mr. Jefferson wrote about the "great importance to simplify our system of finance and bring it within the comprehension of every member of Congress," and his goal was that "the finances of the Union be as clear and intelligible as a merchant's books, so that every member of Congress, and every man of any mind in the Union, should be able to comprehend them to investigate abuses, and consequently to control them."
Unfortunately, 211 years later, to the month, "impenetrable fog" can still be used to describe the state of financial management in the federal government.
Over more than two centuries, through war and peace, there have been numerous attempts by various administrations to carry out Mr. Jefferson's vision of financial management in the federal government.
As a former comptroller of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (over 25 years ago) and chief financial officer of the U.S. Department of Labor (six years ago), it is my opinion that the progress made by the federal government in financial management improvements during the last 25 years has been limited. The frequently quoted GAO audit report language, "While progress has been made, much work remains to be done," is most fitting to describe what has been accomplished so far in this area.
If history is a guide, will it be necessary for us to wait another 200+ years to see more progress? Shall we continue to hope things will work out eventually? Lamentably, with the European financial crisis and the deepening national debt America is carrying, we may not have the luxury of time like in the past.
Opportunity for changing the game in financial management
As President Barack Obama begins his second term, a new OMB director will be taking office to shape his legacy in financial management. I believe this is a great opportunity for this administration to accomplish some game-changing results in the financial management arena without risking hundreds of million of dollars in new systems or hiring armies of consulting contractors to reinvent the wheels. If the new OMB director seizes the opportunity to update the management structure that stymied most former directors, she will put into place an historic exemplar that may be one of President Obama's most long-lasting impacts. It will also be a giant step towards fulfilling Mr. Jefferson's vision from over 200 years ago.
The key to this revamping lies in a single letter of the office's acronym: putting the "M" back in OMB by fully implementing the CFO Act of 1990 in all Cabinet agencies and strengthening the CFO structure within the agency leadership team accordingly.
A quick examination of the current OMB organizational chart will reveal that there is no CFO for the entire federal government, but there is a federal CTO, CIO, etc. Furthermore, the staffing and resources given to the "controller" pale in comparison to those of the budget examiners organization. The Controller of the United States at OMB is like the Treasurer of the United States. Both have grandiose titles, but no real authority over key management operations or programs. The OMB Controller's Office is so thinly staffed and sparsely resourced that it is severely limited in its ability to function as an effective first among equals within the cabinet CFO community.
While I am impressed by what current OMB Controller Danny Werfel has accomplished despite all the resource and staffing challenges he faces, it is my opinion that the controller should not have to function like a titular controller of a holding company. The controller position should be given the staff, resources and authority to lead, direct and manage federal financial affairs like a real CFO. Establishing these essential keys for leadership will be the first important step toward empowering the federal CFO team to carry out and implement the financial management vision of Thomas Jefferson. In short, empowering the OMB controller to conduct business like the actual CFO of the United States is crucial for putting the "M" back in OMB.
For too long, critical financial management decisions (and the resulting service delivery to the taxpayers) in the government have been made mostly in budgetary context by dedicated professional staff steeped in budget formulation, but not necessarily schooled in overall financial management precepts. The budget process and the professional budget staff throughout the federal government rightfully have very important roles in financial management, and I applaud their contributions over time towards fiscal stewardship. Nonetheless, relying on budgetary process and staff to run the federal government's financial management system is like running a global enterprise on a cash basis and treating the cash manager as the ultimate decision maker on financial matters. I maintain that the budget process and staff should be an important subset of overall CFO operations, not a small engine propelling a substantial operation forward.
I am quite sure many of you will yawn and say, "No news here," or, "What else is new?" I think most former OMB directors have made herculean efforts to try to procure a more balanced OMB by fortifying the "M" of OMB through various initiatives, but without much lasting success. OMB remains a very B-focused organization and the most important levers are under the control of the "B" side.
In addition to the usual difficulties associated with changing government agency culture and rebalancing an entrenched bureaucracy, most past reform attempts and management initiatives to strengthen the "M" of OMB were either too sweeping or overly abstract. While the financial management process as a whole has indeed improved slowly overall, it is still difficult to show any clear tie between these improvements and an enhancement of the quality of government service delivery to average citizens.
Lack of government-wide CFO hampers progress
The absence of a strong government-wide CFO vested with the portfolio mandated by the CFO Act of 1990 may be the most important cause for the failure to directly link any financial management improvements to enhancement of taxpayer service delivery. I frequently use the following "Balloon Story" to illustrate how federal government financial management professionals, especially the CFO, miss the boat on "accurate measurements of success" in carrying out their leadership roles.
There was a man who wanted to see the countryside, so he got into a hot air balloon and floated around enjoying the scenery. Suddenly, he was hit by an unexpected rain storm. After the storm passed and the weather cleared, the man realized that he was hopelessly lost. Anxious to return to his starting point, he lowered his balloon, and much to his delight, he saw a man walking on the ground. He shouted to the man on the ground, "Mister, where am I?"
The man on the ground looked up, thought for a minute, and yelled back, "Sir, you are about 300 feet in the air." Dismayed, the man in the balloon said to the man on the ground, "You must be from OMB or a federal CFO!"
The man on the ground was shocked and asked, "How did you know?" The man in the balloon said, "Because the information you gave me is timely and technically correct, but totally useless!"
Many government financial management initiatives, including past attempts to put the "M" back into OMB, fall into this category. (You should note that this is a fungible story by simply substituting OMB/CFO with another agency or group of people. My years in government service trained me to consider reusability and interoperability all the time.)
My first exposure to federal financial management improvement was "Reform 88" in the '80s, and the battle cry then was to have a standardized general ledger system in the federal government. My most recent involvement in this area was "Getting to Green" on the OMB Scorecard. All of these and many other similar initiatives before, after or in between were serious attempts by various OMB directors to strengthen management and put the "M" back into OMB.
I am very sure that those efforts did not go to waste, but I have yet to see how these programs directly improved the delivery of government services to the taxpayers. It is the practical usefulness question in my balloon story that may merit closer examination by the OMB director and staff before they launch another government-wide management initiative that could consume precious resources.
Some recommendations for new OMB director
To achieve "usefulness" in a practical way, I would like to offer a few near-term solutions to the new OMB director and her staff to consider in order to effect meaningful, enduring results and create long-lasting legacies for the administration:
- Work with Congress to update and fully implement the CFO Act of 1990
- Consider term appointments and term limits for cabinet level CFOs. Eliminate Senate confirmation requirements on all cabinet level CFOs and make these positions into five-year term presidential appointments with no option for renewal in the same position.
- Consider Appointment Portability - require all incoming CFO appointees with no prior federal financial management experience to start with smaller departments first. After establishing their expertise on the job within the first two years, they will be rotated to larger agencies, with DoD, State, and Treasury being the "brass rings." There should be no requirements to go through the entire time- consuming and tedious presidential appointment process/vetting (PPO paperwork) nor redundant security clearances if a CFO is being rotated.
- Create a presidentially-appointed "Former Cabinet Level CFO Council" and invite those former CFOs who received an "honorable discharge" to serve as trusted advisors and sounding boards to incumbent CFO appointees. Certain ethics and conflict of interest provisions would be necessary so as not to repeat DoD mentor issues (where retired generals working for DoD contractors return to the Pentagon at very high compensation to coach current generals).
- Vest each CFO with all the portfolio requirements under the CFO Act of 1990 and standardize accountability across all agencies for incumbent CFOs.
- Training and professional education
- Improve skill-set training and certification for career financial management staff by rewarding those who engage in continuing education and self-improvement programs.
- Require independent skill-set testing and certification for all financial management staff from GS-5 through GS-15 in the various accounting and budget core functions. Not every financial management job in the government requires a college education. Nevertheless, every position in the financial management arena should require a reliable independent assessment of essential skill sets.
- Provide flexible online continuing education training opportunities (distance learning and webinars) to all agency CFO staff to maintain and improve their relevant skill sets. Competent commercial entities providing these services should be invited to partner with the government to facilitate such continuing education endeavors.
- Create standardized agency financial performance metrics to track
improvement, progress and identify high performing CFOs.
- ZBB (Zero Based Budgeting), TQM (Total Quality Management), Reform 88, ReInvention of Government, and Getting to Green were all wonderful ideas, but ended up like sand castles on the beach. Focus should be on smaller but enduring metrics that have no political taint or fads. Tracking and improving erroneous payments is an example of a more focused and aggressive offset program (matching who owes the federal government to what is being paid and withholding government payments to offset collection) that could do wonders for the national debt and provide funds to deliver critical taxpayer services.
- Increase the use of data analytics and big data technology to root out fraud and abuses in various entitlement and benefit programs. Expand the use of forensic accounting to detect waste and abuses in financial resource deployments. Place more emphasis on leading edge data analytics because an ounce of prevention is infinitely more cost-effective than a pound of cure.
- Embrace market place technologies to enable decision makers to have access to instant USEFUL data that's already in their agency financial system. The extensive utilization of electronic tablets (such as iPads) by senior agency financial management decision makers could drastically improve their leadership and decision-making capacity.
None of these are new or radical ideas. Some have been debated and tried with limited success but, by and large, many of them lost their places on the front page as leadership became distracted by other national events such as 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror, two wars in the Middle East and the Great Recession.
The country is now well on its way to putting all these interruptions behind us, and since the Obama administration no longer needs to be concerned with re-election, this is the ideal time to lay the foundation for a lasting legacy in the financial management arena. This foundation can begin with the few small bricks outlined above. Some may require congressional support while others can be mandated by internal edict.
We all have a responsibility toward our next generation to leave them an effective financial management structure as well a good set of books. There is no one else we can pass the buck to, so the time to act is now.

If fenders do not have such a predisposed composition it would be simple to drill a couple holes to mount the Fenderbot. The light has two modes when on, solid and flashing. The light is very bright and provides great attention getting and visability from a sizable distance. The Reflector adds great redundancy should you forget to turn it on or your batteries should ever run out. Although mine have not in the past 2 years and the lights are as bright as the day I bought it. If you run fenders I highly recommend this item.

5 Darling DIY Ideas for the Fourth of July
5 Darling DIY Ideas for the Fourth of July
Ready to get festive this Fourth of July? Here are 6 easy and inexpensive crafts to set the perfect scene for your patriotic soiree. Your family will "ohh" and "ahh" over your handiwork, and you'll be delighted at all the money you'll save by making your own Fourth of July decor!
1. Fourth of July Mason Jars
Source: Too Much Time on Hometalk
What's more American than mason jars? Mason jars painted to represent an American flag, that's what! These will take you less than 30 minutes, but they'll look like high-end, designer decor. Use tape to paint the stripes, and stickers or stencils for the stars. If you're aiming for the vintage look, just dab the drying paint with a paper towel in a few places, varying the pressure each time.

2. Patriotic Porch Columns
Source: Front Porch Ideas on Hometalk
Dress up your front porch with these charming column banners! They're incredibly easy to make, and you can usually find burlap material pre-printed with the stripes and stars. If not, painting burlap is a snap! Just fold the striped portion into a corner, and iron or sew together.
3. Red & Blue Ribbon Runner
Source: Domestically Speaking on Hometalk
This fun DIY craft is the perfect addition to your Fourth of July tablescape. To make your own, just cut even slits in the burlap and run the ribbon through. This quick DIY should only take about 20 minutes. Be sure to replicate the striped and solid combination for the best look.
4. Patriotic Coasters
Source: A Dose of Paige on Hometalk
These Fourth of July DIY Coasters will last you for many patriotic parties to come! You'll just need to Mod Podge the stars and stripes (or full flags) scrapbook paper onto tiles. Use consistent horizontal strokes when applying the Mod Podge for the cool, antique look seen here.
5. Patriotic Table Number or Food Embellishment
Source: Completely Coastal on Hometalk
Is your version of the American dream more nautical in nature? Well then, this is the perfect Fourth of July table decor craft for you! Simply select some patriotic fabric or paper, and attach it to a dowel using a hot glue gun. For the sail's number, you can use a sticker, a scrapbooking accessory, or just paint it on yourself. The best part is, you can use this table centerpiece for the rest of summer too!

Hiro Onoda, a Japanese soldier who fought during WWII in the Philippine islands, hid deep within the islands after the US reclaimed them in 1945. He stayed hidden until 1974, never realizing the war had ended. Someone found him in 1974 and told him the war had been over for 30 years. Hiro refused to believe unless his commanding officer told him to surrender. Through a chain of events the government of Japan found the commanding officer, flew him to the Philippines where he went into the jungle and commanded Hiro to surrender. Still with a serviceable rifle and ammunition, and in uniform, Hiro laid down his arms and walked out of the jungle. His story is here. He wrote a book about it, too.
I was raised in a Christian family, received my B.A. in Biblical Studies from a conservative Baptist university, and for past 15 years, have believed entirely what most fundamental Christians believe.
For the past 6 years I have been an analyst for the Army, working to understand what makes terrorists tick - daily watching people, in the name of their god, kill men, women and children in most gruesome manners.
Within the last month I have read half of Richard Dawkins book, the God Delusion, read a handful of articles by Sam Harris, and watched a handful of debates with Sam Harris . . .
and renounced my faith.
Last night my wife, who remains a believer, asked me how, after 31 years of faith in the Christian god I could just give it all up after one month of consideration.
The only way I could explain it was to tell her the story of Hiro. When obvious truth came crashing down on my head, I only needed the slightest assistance to realize the jungle of lies that I was living in.

Please just stop trolling me. Seriously. I'm getting a little fed up with this.
You can't throw away the fact that she was created for the sole purpose of being the main character of the sequel. They created the series, they know where they wanted to go with it. They stated several times that she was going to be the main character of Makai Wars, it's in her character bio in several games as well. This is not irrelevant. It may be in your opinion but the devs wanted her to be the main character the game.
Me being a fan is irrelevant, I only said that because I wanted to tell you why you are annoying me.
I don't want to argue, I never wanted to. Please just leave me alone and go bother somebody else.

"As a fan of Victoria's Secret, this design was absolutely perfect! It fit with the bridal shower and bachelorette party! Paper is good quality (thick and not flimsy). Color is on point and the shades of pink are the same as on the sample."
"This was a big hit for our party as we will be celebrating in the city . I added cute quotes on the back. Quality was great and received fast ."
"I was looking for something simple within the black and gold theme and found this. Super easy to customize and the best part was that it's a postcard so I didn't have to buy envelopes! It showed up way before the estimated arrival date, which was great. And I could include a little message on the back for the guests. Perfect!"
"The invites were exactly what I saw in the proof, and I was very pleased with my order! I will definitely be keeping this in mind when my other friends get married (and other occasions!)."
"I loved these bachelorette party invites! I chose a customized color to match my bridesmaid color and it turned out great!"

Welcome to Week 11 of the SoConversation, featuring The Citadel beat writer Jeff Hartsell of the Charleston Post and Courier, Elon beat writer Adam Smith of the Burlington Times-News and Chattanooga beat writer John Frierson of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Before we discuss what happened elsewhere in the SoCon last week, let's take a moment to go over what happened with the teams we cover.
The Mocs looked hideous in the first half against Western Carolina before crushing the Catamounts in the second, while The Citadel's big first half carried it past Elon. Thoughts?
JOHN:I don't know if the Mocs didn't take the Catamounts seriously or if they just came out flat, but the first half was pretty ugly. Down 24-16 at the half, Chattanooga outscored Western Carolina 29-0 in the second. The Catamounts had one first down in the second half, while UTC rushed for 291 yards in the final two quarters.
You can't read too much into what the Mocs did offensively because Western Carolina ranks No. 119 out of 121 FCS teams in total defense, but UTC's rushing attack was still impressive.
As for the Catamounts, freshman quarterback Troy Mitchell looked pretty good, at least in the first half, and I can see why coach Mark Speir is really high on him. There are some good players on Western Carolina's squad, but getting the club out of the SoCon cellar won't be easy.
JEFF:Thanks to the generosity of the Elon coach at the end of the first half, The Citadel looked like it was well on its way to a blowout of the Fightin' Phoenix, with a 31-6 lead in the third quarter. But Elon QB Thomas Wilson kept chucking the pill, and the Phoenix climbed to within a TD before the Bulldogs put it away with a 14-play, 75-yard drive.
Elon WR / beast Merle Mellette ended up with nine catches but no TDs. Citadel CB Brandon McCladdie did a fine job on him, but I felt Elon could have / should have targeted him more often.
Anyhow, The Citadel remains alive for a winning record and can still at least talk about a playoff bid.
ADAM:Elon keeps finding frustrating ways to lose games. The latest hair-pulling episode included a Hail Mary touchdown as the first half expired (one of only two passes Citadel completed, the direct result of botched clock management by Elon) and a 31-6 deficit before the Phoenix rallied within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter.
Elon safety Chandler Wrightenberry — who Citadel's Matt Thompson got behind on the 51-yard Hail Mary — called it "a bad tease" after the Phoenix defense stuffed the Bulldogs' option on four straight possessions, but then allowed the game-clinching drive with its deficit at 31-24 in crunch time.
The fifth loss in the last six games assured Elon of its second losing season in a row. Now it's about playing for pride, which the team's 10 seniors have a lot of. They were beginning their careers in 2008 and 2009 when Elon was contending for SoCon titles.
Here are last week's results: The Citadel defeated Elon 38-24, Appalachian State defeated Georgia Southern 31-28, Samford defeated Wofford 24-17, Chattanooga defeated Western Carolina 45-24.
What surprised you or caught your eye during Week 10?
ADAM:That you need a semester in advanced calculus to figure out the SoCon championship picture.
Also, did your boy here call Samford beating Wofford or what? Actually, allow me to check myself, I said last week (well, typed, really) that I wanted to pick Samford playing in Birmingham but admitted I was too much of a wimp to pick against Mike Ayers, Eric Breitenstein and Wofford. I should've manned up.
Speaking of man-sized things, App State QB Jamal Jackson (383 passing yards, 3 TDs) and freshman Sean Price (seven catches for 231 yards and a TD) delivered those types of performances at Georgia Southern, where the Eagles had won 14 straight home games.
On the third weekend of the season, I remember thinking "what the heck is wrong in Boone?" as Citadel destroyed App. Now, two months later, the Mountaineers are a win away from securing the SoCon's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs.
JEFF:Where to start?
I was stunned by the news out of Statesboro, a little less stunned by the word from Birmingham. App State WR Sean Price, who did not play when The Citadel whipped the Mountaineers, apparently is the deal, and apparently was in bounds, according to the photos I've seen.
Wofford looked vulnerable in its 24-21 win over The Citadel, and Samford proved that to be the case. The Terriers have gone from top of the table to fighting for their playoff lives with their third-team QB.
JOHN:As Chattanooga was losing in the first half, I tweeted that the Mocs would surely regret blowing the opportunity that was presenting itself as Appalachian State led Georgia Southern and Wofford led Samford 10-9 in the fourth quarter.
The Mocs turned things around in the second half as the Mountaineers finished off the Eagles and the Bulldogs won in double overtime. I had a feeling App State would pull out a win in Statesboro, but to see Wofford struggle in the second half again was a big surprise.
The day's games showed off the parity in the league this season and showed that picking a SoCon Coach of the Year isn't going to be easy.
Here are this week's matchups: Chattanooga at Wofford (1:30 p.m. / ESPN3), Samford at Elon (1:30 p.m.), The Citadel at VMI (1:30 p.m.), Howard at Georgia Southern (2 p.m.), Furman at Appalachian State (3:30 p.m.).
Any predictions on what's to come this weekend?
JOHN:It will be a knockout game at Gibbs Stadium as the Mocs take on the Terriers. A win clinches a share of the SoCon title for Wofford and a win by the Mocs sets up a title-clinching game at home against Elon next week.
Wofford has spent much of the season in the Top 10 of the FCS, but a loss would leave the Terriers with only six Division I wins heading into next week's game at South Carolina — and that would make earning an at-large playoff bid a big-time long shot.
If Chattanooga was to beat Wofford and Elon, it would finish the season winning six of its last seven, with the one loss a triple-overtime defeat to Georgia Southern. The Mocs would only have six D-I wins, but would that strong closing stretch sway the NCAA selection committee? Probably not, but UTC would at least force the committee to say no.
Predictions: UTC 27, Wofford 24; Samford 35, Elon 31; The Citadel 33, VMI 13; Georgia Southern 42, Howard 28; Appalachian State 44, Furman 27.
JEFF:The Citadel will clinch its second winning season in eight years under Kevin Higgins with a win at struggling VMI, thus retaining possession of the coveted Silver Shako.
From a purely Bulldogian perspective, The Citadel could use a Chattanooga win over Wofford, an Elon win over Samford and a Furman win over App State. Of those three, I'd say a Mocs victory is the most likely.
ADAM:Armageddon descends upon gentle Spartanburg.
Too much? OK, sure, probably so.
To a degree, though, there are worlds colliding, with Chattanooga trying to mount a run at a piece of the SoCon title and Wofford trying to avoid falling into playoff peril. As Johnny Frierson has chronicled, the Mocs have been masters of heartbreak for two seasons. I'll say that finally ends here. Chattanooga by an eyelash.
Elsewhere, you can't sleep on Furman coming off its bye, but App State should be supremely motivated given the stakes and that its own bye week comes next.
Georgia Southern hammers Howard, Samford beats an inspired but reeling Elon team and Citadel marches past VMI — such great tradition in this series — to keep the awesome Silver Shako (http://www.citadel.edu/root/images/old_imgs/externalaffairs.citadel.edu/files/Image/sy06-07/homepage/Citadel_00504794.shako.355wide.jpg).
In the spirit of Tuesday's elections, suppose you were elected president of the NCAA or of college football. What would be the high-priority things you'd like to change?
JEFF:A strict 11-game regular season and eight-team playoff in FBS, a cut back to a 16-team playoff in the FCS, a ban on all tackles leading with the helmet, a "two-and-done" rule for college hoops instead of "one-and-done," a higher scholarship limit for college baseball (currently 11.7) and, most importantly, free four-year rides for kids of sports writers.
Thought I'd try to slip that last on in there.
ADAM:I would push for Proposal No. 2011-78, which seeks to make it permissible for schools to offer cream cheese or peanut butter or jelly with the bagels they already provide players. Oh, sorry, bad word. Student-athletes.
Yeah, as nuts as it sounds, there's actually NCAA legislation — passed in 2009! — that only allows schools to provide bagels, fruits and nuts to players, meaning a packet of Land O' Lakes is a minor violation.
Similar impermissible benefit absurdity can be found in the Gatorade-is-OK-but-chocolate-milk-is-not "debate."
Who comes up with this mess? That's not happening on my watch as NCAA president.
JOHN:Instead of an FBS and FCS as they presently exist, I would go ahead and make it the BCS schools and everyone else in Division I. I firmly believe it's going to happen sooner or later, so why not go ahead and do it.
Football programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Tennessee, etc., have virtually nothing in common, at least financially, with the likes of Troy, Middle Tennessee State and every other FBS mid-major that has a zero shot at playing for a national championship.
Bring those schools back in with their budget-conscious brethren and add some strength, as well as some financial sense, to the other level of D-I.
Two exceptional SoCon seniors are close to wrapping up their careers. Elon wide receiver Aaron Mellette and Wofford fullback Eric Breitenstein have been the best offensive players in the league the past two seasons and their career numbers are tremendous.
Where do they rank among the all-time greats in the league?
ADAM:"Merle" will finish his career ranked second in league history in catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches — behind recent Elon great Terrell Hudgins, the NCAA Division I all-time leader, who he learned under for two seasons.
Statistically, Mellette's numbers speak volumes on their own. And his imposing package of size and speed likely makes him an NFL Draft pick in April.
But he will leave Elon having played in many less meaningful games than Randy Moss did at Marshall or Brian Quick did at App State or even Hudgins did at Elon. While he's experienced so much personal success, I know the Phoenix's won / loss record (now 14-17 since the start of 2010) has been bittersweet.
As for Breitenstein, the monster, he's up to fifth place on the SoCon's career rushing chart, ahead of legends such as App State's Armanti Edwards and John Settle and Citadel's Stump Mitchell. That's incredible company considering the league's long history of ground-pounding offenses.
I was fortunate enough to see Georgia Southern's Adrian Peterson and Furman's Louis Ivory – first and third, respectively, in all-time SoCon rushing — finish their careers a decade ago. Breitenstein isn't as dynamic as they were, but his maxed-out effort on every carry is singular and highly impressive.
JEFF:They are both great, of course, and at the same time products of the systems in which they play.
Mellette has the better pro future, I would think, and seems to fit the mold of the Megatron receivers in the league today. I'd put Merle behind Terrell Owens and Randy Moss in the SoCon pantheon, alongside Terrell Hudgins and Andre Roberts, who is having a solid season with the Cardinals, it should be pointed out.
Former Georgia Southern great Adrian Peterson is the best SoCon RB I've seen in person, and ex-Citadel star Stump Mitchell had a long and solid NFL career. Furman's Louis Ivory and VMI's Thomas Haskins were super, and I'd put the monster with those two.
JOHN:A million words have been written about Breitenstein and all that he's done — and he's earned them all, as well as the right to be talked about in the same breath as Adrian Peterson and Armanti Edwards. He's not quite at their level, but he's very close.
Mellette, who received my vote for Offensive Player of the Year in 2011, is a superstar that has been rather under the radar this season because it's been a tough season for the Phoenix. Mellette will go down as one of the two or three best receivers to play in the SoCon and I think he's headed for a good NFL career, as well.

Unit is very modern looking with the tabs hanging downward. Installation was a breeze. Not only is there an adjustment screw easily seen aft of the mount; but there is adjustment at the mount as well. I hate setting up pads and this was a snap!

* Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is keeping a close watch on the Assam situation in the wake of violence in two communally-sensitive districts of the state that has claimed at least 32 lives.
Late on Friday evening, 12 bodies were recovered in the villages of Narayanguri and Khagrabari adjoining each other on the fringes of Manas National Park in Baksa. A group of militants reportedly belonging to the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit faction) stormed the Naraynguri area, and fired indiscriminately, killing at least nine people on the spot.
According to reports, seven women and two men were among the dead. The rebels also set around 50 houses on fire in the area. After the attacks many of the villagers from the above-mentioned districts fled to nearby villages to be safe. Most of the people living in these areas are non-Bodo people.
Ethnic riots between tribal Bodos and Bengali-speaking Muslims in BTAD in 2012 had claimed over 100 lives. The opposition parties besides groups and organisations sniffed a political conspiracy in the attacks given the growing dissidence within the ruling Congress in the state. They demanded Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi resign immediately owning 'moral responsibility'. The attacks prompted the authorities to rush additional forces to the restive areas and Gogoi to cancel his official visit to Germany.

The army staged a flag march to instill confidence in the minds of people even as curfew was clamped in the sensitive and vulnerable areas. Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde called up Gogoi and assured him of all help in controlling the situation.
Reports suggested that hundreds of families fled to neighbouring Dhubri district fearing fresh attacks. Bishnoi said the administration managed to convince people in at least five villages to not flee.
Besides Chirang and parts of Dhubri districts, indefinite curfew has also been imposed in Kokrajhar and Baksa districts where 23 people were killed. The violence started when heavily armed NDFB-S militants entered a house and shot dead three members of a family, including two women, and injured an infant of a minority community near Ananda Bazar area in Baksa district on Thursday.
The All Bodoland Minority Students' Union (ABMSU) held Bodoland People's Front (BPF), which runs the Bodoland Territorial Council, responsible for the bloodbath. "We suspect the hand of BPF because the attacks were perpetrated a day after BPF leader Pramila Rani Brahma's assertion that the party candidate might lose as he didn't get the votes of Muslims in the parliamentary election for the Kokrajhar seat," said Lafikul Islam Ahmed, a leader of ABMSU. But the Bodoland People's Progressive Front believed that the attacks were the result of a 'political conspiracy'.
Non-Bodos constitute over 70% of the voters in the Kokrajhar seat. A conglomerate of 22 influential non-Bodo organisations had backed a former Ulfa leader, who contested as an independent. "It could be a conspiracy of the state government. It was perhaps done to divert the attention of people from the growing dissidence among Congress legislators. It happened in 2012 when Gogoi was faced with rebellion from within," said BPPF leader Rabiram Narzary.

"This is the best flip flop ever. I buy a new pair every summer.I have two pair to wear in the house, another pair for the pool, and another pair to do projects outside.I wash the flip flops in the washing machine and they air dryin a couple hours. A new pair comes in and the oldest pair goes to Goodwill. The arch of the foot does not fall inward...like alot of other flip flops do."

Disappointed that I had to return
"I bought this exact style of Nike Celso Flip Flops about 6 years ago and absolutely loved them!! I wore them all of the time and I was looking to replace them with a new pair this season. Unfortunately, I have tried several pairs on (in-store and the pair that I ordered online) and they all have the same uncomfortable fit now between the toes on either side of the thong. I believe the specs have changed which ultimately changed the fit for me and I had to return them to a local store."

(The Knight of the Rose)
Richard Strauss
1864 - 1949
Opera in three acts
Libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal
First performed January 26th 1911, Royal Opera House, Dresden
Sung in German with German surtitles Duration: 4 1/4 hours with two intervals
About the work
The pain-wracked dissonances in Elektra and dream music in the fairy tale-like rose scene in Der Rosenkavalier seem worlds apart but, almost exactly to the day, only two years separated the world premieres of both masterpieces. The original title of Der Rosenkavalier was Ochs von Lerchenau ! The work is full of comedy, tinged with tragedy. The melancholy of loneliness can be sensed behind the jolly Viennese waltzes. We realise that it is pointless to try and stop the clocks in the middle of sleepless nights, trying to defy the unstoppable. We discover, in shock, the deep conflicts between our inner perception of time and its stubborn, onward marching outside. Nevertheless, so Marie Therese, the Feldmarschallin and Countess of Werdenberg teaches us, one should not fear it because time, too, is »a creation of the father, who made us all«. This was Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's second, and most successful opera.
