Stephen F. Austin State University Earth Day Growing Seeds of Sustainability Page 3 Volume 2, Issue 2 February - April 2011 Fitness Through The Ages Part II Page 6 Intramural Domination Former Pi Kappa Alphas relive the glory days Letter from the Director Welcome to the New Year and a new edition of the Rec Insider! Hopefully 2011 will bring you happiness as well as move you closer to your goals in life. At Campus Recreation, one of our goals is to promote sustainability. The term sustainability has many definitions and meanings depending on the context in which it is used. For us it means improving the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems. To that end, we are utilizing new methods of communication by providing online versions of our program guides and newsletters, teaching "leave no impact" techniques for enjoying the outdoors, and monitoring what, and from whom, we buy goods and services. Campus Recreation also coordinates and promotes Earth Day at SFA each Spring. You can learn more about this event inside this newsletter. We would love to see you here at our event but also encourage those that live out of town to participate in the Earth Day celebrations where they live. We each have a part to play in promoting sustainability and you can learn more about how to do this by getting involved in Earth Day. We of course have plenty of other great activities, events, programs and people to share with you in this newsletter so please read on and as always we appreciate your comments, concerns, ideas, and feedback. 2011 Campus Recreation Staff Ken Morton Director Janice Casper Office Manager Kelley Consford Administrative Asst.

About a year ago, she decided she wanted to continue working in the recreation field after hearing about internship opportunities at Campus Rec from a former Group X instructor. As an intern, Chrystina will receive plenty of time to create and hone skills that will help her advance in future careers, but she also expects to have fun. "I love the atmosphere. When you start working here you get to know so many people. Working here has definitely helped me become more outgoing and comfortable meeting new people." Projects Chrystina will be spearheading as intern include monthly educational displays for the Recreation Center and the Wellness Fair, a huge event for the program held each semester. Projects such as these will help Chrystina gain experience in the Wellness side of the program area, complimenting her already acquired knowledge in Fitness. Heidi Parvez and Lauren Radtke, Graduate Interns, Outdoor Pursuits Heidi worked for Outdoor Pursuits throughout her undergraduate studies at SFA and was excited to hear about the internship program from Assistant Director Michael Maningas. "The program has allowed me to help Outdoor Pursuits in a more purposeful way than I was able to as a undergraduate. Also as an intern I learn different aspects of OP that I did not get to work on before. My overall favorite part of the internship is being able to help a program that I believe so much in. " Lauren also worked for Outdoor Pursuits prior to her internLauren Radtke ship. She chose an internship with Campus Rec because of the people she works with and the opportunity to further develop the Outdoor Pursuits program and get people outdoors. She works in the OP office and leads trips and hopes to gain key skills for her future career path. "I believe this internship has prepared me socially. What I mean by that is that I have/am learning to work with all kinds of people, whether they are our OP staff, professional staff, or any/all of the participants on our trips. It's been a neat challenge to develop personally and professionally." Heidi Parvez Liza MacDonald, Undergraduate Intern, Promotions Liza was worked for Campus Recreation for three years and heard about the internship program through her job as office assistant. She is a Public Relations major with a minor in Spanish. "The promotions team has always been a program that impressed me. I respect all of the behindthe-scenes work that they do. So, when I read in a text book that promotions and public relations are considered close relatives, I became determined to land an internship with Elizabeth Ross." As the specialty promotions intern, Liza will work one-on-one with several program areas, including Outdoor Pursuits. She will also gain knowledge and experience in performing publicity stunts, focus group tactics, in-house promotions, blogging, and programs such as Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, and Final Cut Express. "The unique thing about Campus Rec is the familial atmosphere, I know that I can trust my superiors and coworkers to help me grow and provide me with valuable experiences as I work my way through college." Page 5 As we all know, physical activity can help improve the quality of life as the years go by. Whether you are an active individual or perhaps inexperienced with exercise programs, we are all affected by the aging process. Our choices about physical activity can greatly factor how our bodies will respond to the five major fitness components today, as well as 20 plus years from now. Muscular Strength & Endurance: Fitness and Wellness Studies have shown that both men and women of all ages have the ability to improve their muscle strength and size specifically through progressive training methods. Beginning a strength training program within the years of 10 � 20 will produce greater gains than starting a program above this natural development range. "For each decade after 25, 3-5 percent of muscle mass is lost." (ACE Personal Training Manual, 2003) The five major components of fitness: � Cardiorespiratory Fitness � Muscular Strength & Endurance � Flexibility � Body Composition � Skill-Related Components Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Flexibility: Incorporating flexibility training into one's exercise regimen can significantly improve adaptability and therefore increase the ability to function. Body Composition: Frequency and intensity of training, initial level of fitness, genetics and exercise history all factor into one's ability to increase aerobic capacity. It is recommended that when testing for heart rate during activity on elderly individuals, it is suggested to use a rate of perceived exertion along with heart rate checks to gain a more accurate idea of how hard they are working. Body Composition changes as we age, however, the extent of these changes and how they can be affected by physical activity is still being researched. Skill Related Components: While function may not be on our minds early in life, we've seen research that shows with active adults, functional training can add physical improvements.

A squat is a very essential BLAST FROM THE PAST Where They Are Now An update on former Campus Rec employees Dana Cusic started working for Campus Rec in 2004 as an intramural referee. When the new facility opened in 2007, She moved to the Administration Offices as the Office Services Supervisor. While at SFA, Dana was very active in intramural sports, participating in flag football, softball, basketball, and, later when coed was introduced, flickerball. Dana says her favorite memories of Campus Rec are the relationships she built with her co-workers, late nights on the intramural fields, watching the new facility being built which really made Campus Recreation come alive, and it cannot go without being said," Janice Casper. "She was a great mentor and taught me the value of a strong work ethic." Dana is currently a Recruiter at Frontline Source Group, a staffing firm headquartered in Dallas, TX. They handle recruiting in the fields of IT, Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Sales and Medical Administration positions for companies across the United States. Other offices are located in Austin, Fort Worth, Plano, Houston, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Nashville, and Phoenix. "I started at Frontline Source Group almost a year ago in an entry level recruiting position and have been able to grow into a Senior Recruiter role and continue to advance my responsibility within the company. They have given me a great opportunity!" "I believe that working for Campus Recreation really gave me a chance to shine while I was in school. It gave me the opportunity to gain and sharpen skills that I have been able to carry with me after graduation. No matter what position you have within Campus Recreation, they expect the very best. My advice would be to take advantage of the tools you learn while you can." Rusty Pendergrass worked as a sports official in 1982 and 1984 and worked the intramural equipment cage on weekends. He received a degree in Health and Physical Education and a masters in Education from SFA. Although he and his teams won many championships in their time at SFA, the "most fun was the washers champsionship." When asked his favorite Campus Rec memory, Rusty noted, "The friends I made and the fun of playing all the sports." Rusty also gives some words of wisdom to current Rec employees: "Study hard and get your degree but mix in some fun and make some friends for life. Rusty currently works as a scout for the Houston Astros. Brice Hodge worked for Intramural Sports from August 2006 - December 2007. He graduated from SFA with a degree in Communications. In his time at SFA, his flag football team made the playoffs every year. Brice's best memory from Campus Rec was the summer of 2007, when Campus Recreation moved from the HPE and Birdwell Building into the new facility. His advice for future SFA alumni is to "get involved in as many campus activities and organizations as you can fit in your schedule; it's a great way to get out and meet people, make friends and connections, and relieve stress from class." Brice is currently an academic advisor for Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas.

An update on former IMS participants The Pi Kappa Alphas, or Pikes, were at the top of the pack for many years when it came to intramural sports at SFA. Their longest streak at the Overall Intramural Championship was from `73 to `82. They also were the overall champions in `62, `63, `84, `85, `86, `96, `97, `98, `00, and `01. SFA Alum Greg Samford attended SFA from `78-'82, earning a bachelor's degree in Physical Education and a master's in Education. He did not begin his intramural career with the Pikes, but soon caught their eye. "I had no intentions my first year pledging to a fraternity." But when Samford beat the Pikes in the intramural volleyball championships spring `78 - "playing the best game of my life" - he was approached to pledge in fall `78. His favorite memory playing with the Pikes was when they played in the volleyball championship in `82 with only 5 players. While Joe Rendon, SFA attendee from `75-'80, was competing with the Pikes, they went undefeated in many sports in various years, including flickerball (`80, `86), flag 1986 1st Place Flickerball football (`83), volleyball (`83), and softball (`85). The Pikes also won championships Glenn McLaren, Rick Wilson, Greg Bryan, Joe in water polo, wrestling, and track and field. Rendon served as the Pike Coach and Rendon, Mark Earwood, David Reeves, Mitch Lee, Intramural Director for 5 years. When asked his favorite memory, Rendon said he not pictured: Mel Coffland most enjoyed the 1986 flickerball championship: "We won the whole thing with only 6 players on the team; won the flickerball championship with only 5 players playing that particular night." Rendon also notes that the Pikes were so dominant in Greek Week for a few consecutive years that they began referring to it as "Pike Week." Rendon lists a few Pikes who made great contributions to the Pikes' intramural success `73-'86: Charlie "Choo Choo" Goldstein, Scott Randolph, Ted Burgett, Rick Marberry, Eli Rodriguez, Mart Graham, Greg Samford, Mark Bacon, Glenn McLaren, David Reeves, Tracy Ainsworth, and himself. Since leaving SFA, Joe Rendon has taught Physical Education and high school English, as well as high school basketball, football, and softball at Alief, Santa Fe, Lamar Consolidated, and La Marque high schools. He is now teaching Physical Education and health classes in La Marque ISD. His advice to future SFA alumni: "Take your time in college and meet as many people as you can. Make as many friends as you can. Make as many good memories as you can. College life is a time when you must stop and smell the roses." After leaving SFA, Samford ended up taking a job at the University of Texas Medical Branch where he worked as a system analyst and more recently a computer operator. He still keeps in touch with several of the guys he played intramurals with at SFA, including Joe Rendon and former Pike intramural faculty advisor David Campbell, with whom he credits to saving his life after Campbell and his wife took him in during Hurricanes Rita and Ike.

Page 8 Sport Clubs NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS Women's Volleyball Has High Expectations For Spring Season Successful Men's Basketball Team Seeking to Develop Strong Women's Team The men's basketball club team is continuing to make a name for themselves in the few years they've been a sport club at SFA. The men's basketball club team started up in 2007 and added a women's team in spring of 2010. Last spring, both the men's and women's basketball teams went to the regional tournament held at the University of Texas in San Antonio. The men's team advanced to the national tournament in Tennessee. Last spring, the women's volleyball sport clubs team made it to the regional tournament and fell just a few spots short of a national berth. This season, they hope to extend their season and earn a spot in the national tournament. After finishing tryouts in late January, their first tournament is Saturday, February 5 at the University of Texas at Austin. By competing well in this tournament, they will advance to the crossover tournament at Baylor February 25 and 26. Here they can qualify for the championship tournament at Texas A&M University March 26. Inline Hockey Looks to Defend League Championship The inline hockey team won their league championship in 2010 and scored a berth to the national tournament. They hope to defend their title and make it back to the national tournament. They will compete in a tournament in Denton February 12 and 13. Playoffs for inline hockey will be March 5 and 6 in Denton. This season, the club is focusing on building the women's team and sending them to more tournaments.

Consumer spending up 0.3%, latest data show
WASHINGTON - U.S. consumers increased their spending in October even though their wages and salaries barely increased, raising questions about how strong the economy will grow at the end of the year.
Consumer spending increased 0.3 percent in October compared with September when spending rose 0.2 percent, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Wages and salaries rose a slight 0.1 percent after a much stronger 1 percent rise in September.
Americans' borrowings rose $18.2B in October
WASHINGTON - Americans boosted their borrowing in October, led by another big increase in auto and student loans and the biggest rise in credit card debt in five months.
The Federal Reserve says consumers increased their borrowing by $18.2 billion in October to a seasonally adjusted $3.08 trillion. That is a record level and follows a September increase of $16.3 billion.
The increase was led by a $13.9 billion rise in borrowing for auto loans and student loans. But borrowing in the category that covers credit cards rose by $4.3 billion following a decline of $218 million in September. It was the biggest monthly credit card gain since May and could be a sign that consumer spending will increase in coming months. Credit card borrowing has lagged other types of debt.
Sears to spin off Lands' End clothing business
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Sears Holdings said Friday it will spin off its Lands' End clothing business as a separate company by distributing stock to the retailer's shareholders.
It's the latest move by the struggling retailer to turn around its results as it faces wider losses and increasingly displeased investors.
FDA OKs breakthrough treatment for hepatitis
WASHINGTON - Gilead Sciences Inc. says the federal government has approved its highly anticipated hepatitis C drug that is expected to offer a faster cure to millions of people with the liver-destroying virus.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the pill Sovaldi as a daily treatment in combination with older drugs.
Current treatments for hepatitis C can take up to a year of therapy and only cure three out of four patients. Sovaldi is cures roughly 90 percent of patients in just 12 weeks, according to company studies.
The approval comes as the government urges baby boomers to get tested for the disease. Hepatitis C is five times more common among people born between 1945 and 1965.
Big ice storm is snarling deliveries nationwide
OKLAHOMA CITY - Whether you're ready to ship that holiday package across the country or waiting for your next shipment of cooking grease, now's not the best time to be in a hurry.
Businesses small and large are waiting for pickups and consumers across the land are receiving notices that their packages will be delayed because of a massive, icy blast that will eventually hit from coast-to-coast.
For people who rely on the shipping industry, the storm comes at the worst time: the height of the holiday mailing season.
Judge refuses to block American-US Air deal
NEW YORK - A judge refused to block a merger between American Airlines and US Airways on Friday, saying a bankruptcy court correctly rejected arguments made by a lawyer for some consumers.
Attorney Joseph Alioto argued that the deal would harm fliers because it would result in less competition and higher prices. But U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska repeatedly noted his arguments relied on outdated facts, had no evidence to support them and sometimes made no sense.
American has said it plans to complete the merger with US Airways on Monday.

A new approach to compliant motion control using neural networks is presented. In the paper, "compliance" is treated as a nonlinear mapping from a measured force to a corrected motion. The nonlinear mapping by a multilayer neural network is outlined, this allows one to deal with complex control strategies that cannot be represented by linear compliance, such as in stiffness and damping control

Kendra Wilkinson is done with dieting! After all that hard work she put into the weight loss regimen, the reality star mom says she's over it!
She says the stress of traveling, promoting her new book and taking care of little Hank has taken its toll. "It's so hard because I was on this book tour, and…doing a book tour, you're all over the country and you have to catch flights and everything," Wilkinson told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show this morning.
She added, "So I actually took a break from my diet. I'm on my gaining weight part now."
On top of everything, she and husband Hank Baskett are in the process of moving from LA back to Philadelphia where he's been re-signed to the Eagles. "We're having picnics on our living room floor right now," Wilkinson said. "Man, it's hard right now, but we're doing it. We're so all over the place. We need to settle."
Once the family is settled back on the east coast, Kendra says she's ready to have another baby! "That's right, that's right."
Yay! Little Hank needs a younger brother or sister! Congrats to Kendra and Hank on the move, and to her for not feeling the pressure of having to be Hollywood skinny. She'll be much happier in Philly where there's not as much pressure!

CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Need for Document A hazardous materials (hazmat) commodity flow study (CFS) is a special kind of transporta- tion analysis project. It is intended to identify the types and amounts of hazardous materials transported through a specified geographic area--such as a single community, a large urban area, a region, or a state--and the routes used for transporting these commodities. It is a methodical way to identify and quantify the unique hazmat transportation hazards that may be present in a community. This guidebook was developed to update the U.S.DOT's 1995 Guidance for Conducting Hazardous Materials Flow Surveys (1), using funds from U.S.DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), administered through TRB's Hazardous Materials Cooperative Research Program (HMCRP). Its intended users are local government entities--including local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) and tribal emergency response commissions (TERCs), counties, municipalities, councils of government, tribal councils, rural communities, and other similar authorities. It also can be used at the state and federal levels. The guidebook � Can be used by LEPCs and other local, state, tribal, and federal emergency planners and stake- holders for evaluating hazmat flows, as well as by metropolitan planning organization (MPO) or department of transportation (DOT) staff for hazmat-specific or similar commodity flow studies; � Provides guidance for planning, conducting, and implementing a local-level hazmat com- modity flow study (HMCFS, used to denote either the singular or plural in this guidebook); � Covers road, rail, pipeline, water, and air modes of transportation; � Focuses specifically on the objectives, resources, data, analysis, and applications that are com- monly found or are actionable at local levels across the United States; � Does not cover every possible type of commodity flow data source or analysis method but rather provides a "toolbox" of different data sources and ways of evaluating information; and � Was developed based on a comprehensive review of literature, local practice, and available data resources. 1.1.1 Role of the HMCFS in Emergency Planning An HMCFS is not a plan of itself, but it provides a knowledge basis for critical aspects of the emergency planning process. LEPCs have responsibility for local emergency planning under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). LEPCs develop emergency response plans for dealing with chemical hazards, either as stand-alone plans or often as part of a community's comprehensive emergency management plan (CEMP), or emergency operations plan (EOP). Users of this guidebook who are involved in comprehensive emergency planning may be familiar with the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101: Developing and Maintaining 10

Introduction 11 State, Territorial, Tribal, and Local Government Emergency Plans (2), developed by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), which is a part of DHS. CPG 101 lays out guidelines for developing emergency plans at local, state, and federal levels. An HMCFS informs on the following three key elements of the emergency planning process identified in CPG 101: 1. Understanding the situation, 2. Determining goals and objectives, and 3. Plan development. An HMCFS can inform an emergency plan's hazard-specific annexes that are focused on haz- ardous material, and also the basic plan and emergency support functions/functional annexes. Figure 1-1 illustrates how an HMCFS can inform and be informed by the emergency planning process identified in CPG 101. An HMCFS can be used for multiple purposes in emergency management and response, as well as in broader community planning and risk assessment. It provides information that can be used to help "anticipate conditions and systematically identify potential problems and workable solutions" (2, p 1-2) to hazmat incidents. In the absence of information that can be obtained through an HMCFS, emergency planners may need to make a great number of assumptions about hazmat transportation in their community. CPG 101 urges planners "to use assumptions sparingly and to put greater effort into performing research and acquiring facts" (2, p 3-13). Infor- mation obtained through an HMCFS can � Reduce uncertainty about which hazmat transport hazards are locally present; � Help identify hazmat transportation risks that may present in a community; and � Be validated by the experiences and knowledge of local responders, carriers, and other stake- holders when HMCFS results are communicated, reviewed, and implemented in the broader emergency and community planning context. Information from an HMCFS helps inform the science of planning by providing quantifiable, measurable information about the types and levels of hazardous materials that may be expected to be transported through a community. Application of HMCFS information affects the art of Figure 1-1. The HMCFS as part of the emergency planning process. Source: Adapted from CPG 101, Figure 3.2

Golden Gophers
Preview 2007 - Offense
2007 Minnesota Preview |
2007 UM Defense Preview
2007 UM Depth Chart
2006 CFN Minnesota Preview
What you need to know: New offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar
and his spread offense might seem like a radical departure for
the Gophers, but the pieces are there, for the most part, for
the thing to work right away with small, athletic linemen, quick
running backs, and big receivers. The one thing missing is a
steady quarterback who can hit the open receiver on a regular
basis, meaning the Tony Mortensen vs. Adam Weber battle will go
on until fall. Basically, the offense will undergo a change to
achieve the same rushing results with a less effective passing
Passing: Tony Mortensen
2-10, 15 yds, 2 INT
Rushing: Amir Pinnix
252 carries, 1,272 yds, 10 TD
Ernie Wheelwright
26 catches, 437 yds, 5 TD
Star of the offense: Senior RB Amir Pinnix
Player that has to step up and become a star: Junior QB
Tony Mortensen and/or redshirt freshman QB Adam Weber
Unsung star on the rise: Redshirt freshman OT Dominic
Best pro prospect: Junior TE Jack Simmons
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Pinnix, 2) C Tony
Brinkhaus, 3) Simmons
Strength of the offense: Running backs, starting
offensive line
Weakness of the offense: Quarterback, offensive line
Projected Starter: Is junior Tony
Mortensen the right player to run the spread offense? He's a
6-3, 230-pound bomber with a great arm, but don't let his size
fool you; he can run with his size allowing him to take a
pounding. While he won't remind anyone of Vince Young, he's not
a statue and should be able to crank out yards in bulk when the
opportunity is there. It's not going to be all about the ground
game; he has to make the Logan Payne-less receiving corps
effective. It's a fast group that'll benefit from Mortensen's
Projected Top Reserves: 6-3, 210-pound redshirt
freshman Adam Weber is being given every shot to win the
starting job. While he doesn't have Mortensen's arm, he's more
mobile and built to run an offense like the Minnesota spread.
All he's missing is more time and more reps.
Junior Mike Maciejowski
has roughly the same makeup as Weber with good mobility, but
he's the clear number three man in the mix. He doesn't have the
passing upside of Mortensen or the running skills of Weber, but
he's a nice emergency option.
Watch Out For ... Weber. It was basically assumed
that Mortensen would be the man going into the season, but
Weber's wheels could make him more than just a competitive
number two option.
Strength: Mobility. All the quarterbacks can move
enough to do what the offense wants. While the running backs are
going to do the heavy lifting, whoever's under center should be
able to rumble 7-10 times a game.
Weakness: Mortensen's accuracy. He's only seen action in nine
games, but he's been a disaster throwing the ball completing
just 11 of 34 passes fro 145 yards with a touchdown and three
interceptions. Obviously, that has to quickly change.
Outlook: It'll be a work in progress. The
offensive changes are just enough to make the passing game a bit
inconsistent to start and for things to be a bit sloppy, but
once the coaching staff decides to go with Mortensen or Weber,
it has to stick with him.
Rating: 6
Running Backs
Projected Starters: While Amir Pinnix
might not be flashy like Laurence Maroney, and he might not
have the power of a Marion Barber, he became an ultra-productive
back rushing for 100 yards in the final three games of the year
on the way to a nice 1,272-yard, ten touchdown season. The
senior is more than quick enough to pick his way through the
holes that'll be there in the spread offense, and he should be a
lock for 1,000 yards again if he can stay healthy. While he's
not used much as a receiver, he can catch a little bit with 16
grabs for 138 yards.
Senior Justin Valentine is a strong
veteran with 36 career appearances rushing for 183 yards and ten
scores. The 6-1, 230-pounder is an excellent blocker who does
all the dirty work, but he might not be used nearly as much in
the new attack.
Projected Top Reserves: Pinnix is quick, but
sophomore Jay Thomas is fast. The 6-0, 195-pound star
high school sprinter has decent pop and a little bit of
experience coming into his own over the final four games. He
ripped off 79 yards and two touchdowns on six carries against
Indiana, and picked up the workload against Iowa running 15
times for 79 yards and a score. With his speed, he appears to be
a natural for the new offense.
Sophomore E.J. Jones is a
small, quick back who got a little bit of work, including a
start against Kent State, but he got hurt and only finished the
season with 30 yards. He'll be an interesting option in the
running mix if he's out of hot water after being arrested for
allegedly being involved in the raping of an 18-year-old woman.
He was released in early April, but the investigation is still
Watch Out For ... the running game to be as effective
as always, just in a different way. Minnesota is already set up
to run the spread offense the way the coaching staff wants, and
with the quick corps of backs, the ground attack should remain
Strength: Pinnix and Thomas. This isn't Barber and
Maroney, but it'll be a strong twosome that'll alternate and
combine to crank out big numbers. Throw in Valentine in short
yardage situations and the Gophers have a good group to work
Weakness: Depth. Thomas is a good number two, but if there are
any problems with Jones, there's not a deep stable of backs to
rely on. Pinnix can't get hurt.
Outlook: This might not be the sexiest backfield
around, but it'll produce. Pinnix is a reliable back the offense
can give the ball to 20+ times a game, while Thomas is a
burgeoning star. The entire group needs to be more involved in
the passing game, but as long as they're taking advantage of the
holes provided by the spread, hitting the 2,000-yard mark
shouldn't be a problem.
Rating: 7.5
Projected Starters: Senior Ernie Wheelwright lost
his status as the team's number one receiver with the emergence
of Logan Payne, but now he's the man again with 93 career
catches for 1,659 yards and 17 touchdowns in 37 career games. At
6-5 and 215 pounds, he's a big target with good enough deep
speed to average 17.8 yards per catch. Now he has to go from
streaky to steady; he only had three games with more than 40
receiving yards last season.
Taking over for Payne will be 6-2,
210-pound sophomore Eric Decker, who played like a number
one receiver in spring ball. While he's not going to stretch the
field too often like Wheelwright, he has the hands and the route
running ability to quickly grow into a go-to guy.
On the other
side will be 6-2, 210-pound junior Marc Cheatham, a key
JUCO transfer who averaged 18.1 yards per catch for Laney
College in California. He has the potential to quickly be a
steady contributor.
While Cheatham might be the number two
receiver, watch out for junior Jack Simmons to challenge
for the team lead in receptions. Minnesota is a tight end
factory, and considering Tim Brewster's history coaching tight
ends, Simmons should shine after catching 17 passes for 229
yards and a touchdown playing behind Matt Spaeth. While he's not
going to be the blocker Spaeth was, he should grow into a heck
of a receiver; he caught 108 passes in high school.
Projected Top Reserves: Playing behind Wheelwright
will be 6-2, 195-pound junior Michael Kasten, a walk-on
who has yet to see the ball come his way, but has the deep speed
to eventually be used as a field stretcher. He was a Minnesota
high school state champion sprinter.
Pushing for time behind
Cheatham will be sophomore Michael McKelton, a former
cornerback who has the quickness to be a good underneath
receiver. W
orking with Simmons at tight end will be 6-6,
250-pound sophomore Troy Reilly, who'll be used more as a
blocker. He caught two passes for 29 yards and started to see
more and more time as the year went on.
Watch Out For ... plenty of deep plays. There might
not be a sure-thing, seven-catch a game target to count on right
away, but Wheelwright, Cheatham and Kasten can move. The
receivers have to take advantage of the mismatches in the spread
Strength: Size. This is a tall group that can all
block a little bit and has been groomed to be physical for the
Gopher running game. They should be able to create a few matchup
Weakness: Experience. Outside of Wheelwright and Decker, there's
not a sure-thing D-I wide receiver in the bunch. There's no
experience, which isn't a plus considering the offense is
breaking in a new quarterback.
Outlook: The corps will be decent if Cheatham is a
player. Decker and Wheelwright form a serviceable 1-2 punch,
while Simmons could catch 50 balls if he's able to take
advantage of mismatches. The concern will for the first half of
the year will be the stickiness of the offense. Will they guys
get it? The other worry will be health with no depth to rely on.
Rating: 6
Offensive Linemen
Projected Starters: The left side will be the only question
coming into the year with Steve Shidell moving over to right
tackle and guard Tyson Swaggert needing to be replaced. 6-5, 275-pound
sophomore Ryan Ruckdashel will step in for Swaggert as a
relatively light blocker who's quicker than he is powerful. He's still
filling out his frame adding 20 pounds over the last year. Next to him
will be redshirt freshman Dominic Alford, a promising 6-3,
305-pound prospect who's expected to grow into one of the rocks of the
line for the next four years. He has the size and the mobility to be
terrific for what the Gophers will want to do on the ground.
Shidell was one of the rocks on the line before missing the Insight
Bowl. He's a smart player who rarely gets beat in pass protection with
good feet and nice quickness. At right guard will once against be
sophomore Nedward Tavale, a 6-5, 305-pound run blocker who
quickly became a major factor last season starting all 13 games as a
freshman. One of the team's most talented linemen, he has all-star
potential with a little more work.
In the middle as the anchor of the
line is 6-3, 295-pound senior center Tony Brinkhaus, who made the
move over from guard last year to replace all-everything star Greg
Eslinger. He started of his career at tackle before moving inside, and
he's been good wherever he's been. He's strong enough to be the team's
most consistent run blocker.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-5, 275-pound Matt
DeGeest will serve as the understudy behind Shidell on the right
side, but he could step in if Shidell moves back to the left at some
point. He's a good veteran with a little bit of starting experience and
enough talent to step in and keep the line rolling. The rest of the
backups are small and quick, just how the coaching staff wants them.
Sophomore left guard Jeff Tow-Arnett is only 275 pounds,
sophomore left tackle Jason Meinke, a walk-on, is only
255, and backup center, redshirt freshman D.J. Burris, is 280.
Burris is a star in waiting just needing a little bit of time. He'll be
the man in the middle next year when Brinkhaus graduates. Tow-Arnett can
play center or guard.
Watch Out For ... Alford. He has All-Big Ten
potential on the left side and should be great as the season goes on.
Brinkhaus should start to receive a few honors now that he knows what
he's doing in the middle.
Strength: Quickness. Tim Brewster wants to keep
the current Minnesota trend of going with light, quick linemen who can
move in a hurry. There's a reason the Denver Broncos like Gopher
Weakness: Depth. It's never a plus when you have to count on
walk-ons to fill key backup roles. Only DeGeest has any appreciable
experience, so if there are injuries early to the starting five, the
machine will break down.
Outlook: The line wasn't the killer of past
seasons, but it was strong enough to lead the Big Ten in sacks allowed
and should be good again. While there aren't any sure-thing road graders
of past seasons, this isn't going to be a weakness of any sort if
everyone stays healthy.

Yet another American for NYR: Danny Kristo Whether Christian Thomas makes it as a Montreal Canadien is of little concern to Rangers fans, although his smallish frame should fit right in with the Canadian club. Rangers' fans however should be excited at the prospect of Glen Sather once again acquiring a potential NHL regular from Montreal. In Danny Kristo, the Rangers have acquired a player who has dominated at college level and who appears to be joining the club at the right time. With Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin injured there is a position in the top six up for grabs to begin the year and while there are a few options with NHL experience ahead of Kristo (Zuccarello, Kreider, Pouliot come to mind), none of the options have a top six spot nailed on by any means and all of the options mentioned can play elsewhere in the line-up. If Kristo has a strong training camp he could easily earn himself a look. Kristo is a man who has earned accolades. In April, College Hockey named Kristo t...

There are many different levels of archival mat boards. The lowest level are paper mat boards which are considered suitable only for "decorative" framing, not conservative framing. A level up from that are mat boards mat of alpha cellulose. The Bainbridge Alphamat is such a mat board. It is acid and lignin free, and uses Artcare technology that allows it to actually neutralize acidic compounds entering the framing package. It is a little more achival than most other alpha cellulose mat boards. It is laminated with a color surface paper that has dye's that you would not use for museum quality framing but the surface paper is not in contact with the print. This is also the reason that the bevel on the core is not the same color as the surface. The primary mat board being referred to was the Bainbridge Alpharag Pearl White. This is the highest level of protection you can get, and a little better than the Westmister which is also very good. The Alpharag board is composed of cotton which is naturally inert. The board is acid free, lignin free and only very safe dyes are used. That is why the color selection of the musuem rag mat board is so limited and you never see any bright colors. It is also treated with the Artcare process and since Bainbridge purchased exclusive rights to the technology no other mat board companies can offer it. This board is composed of cotton layers that are dyed which is why the color will be uniform from the surface to back. All of these mat boards are buffered with calcium carbonate which helps make them even less acidic. Paper mat boards are often buffered also and then sold as acid free, however, since the substrate is naturally acidic they will return to being acid when the buffering wears off. I dont know how long that takes, but the general guideline I have heard is that if you want it to last longer than 5 years with no noticible damage, do not use paper mat boards.

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show Makes Fun of Hillary Clinton's 2016 Rollout for President (VIDEO)
Of course Jon Stewart attacked the GOP, after all it is Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, but his mockery of Hillary Clinton's boring presidential roll out as he compared the Hillary Clinton VIDEO to a State Farm commercial. After watching the beginning of the video, Stewart says, "this is boring as SH*T." Stewart went on to opine, "it's weird how they wouldn't let you make your own commercial, you had to share your announcement with a guy from a gravel company." But Jon, this is to she she is own of the people. yeah, Stewart isn't buying it either.
The Daily Show had a bit of fun with Hillary Clinton's big announcement this week. After mocking her fairly boring campaign video, host Jon Stewart praised Clinton for "not acting like she's dropping a bombshell with the announcement, because this isn't about her," which he called a "refreshing change from her 2008 strategy, "shut up I'm talking, the I am inevitable bus tour."

Daily Show's Jon Stewart Rips Barack Obama & Eric Holder for Failing to Attend Paris March: "Unbelievable!" … "Je Suis To e Kidding Me"
"Unbelievable!" … "Je Suis To e Kidding Me"
From The Daily Show, Jon Stewart rips President Barack Obama for not attending the 'Unity March' in Paris, France on Sunday as world leader came together for freedom and liberty and against radical Islam. Stewart mocked Obama saying, how could Obama not be there, look how many world leaders he could have bowed down to and apologized to." One would think that alone would have had Obama running to the event.
"How can the U.S. not be there when representatives from of such beacons of freedom and lack of censorship as journalist-punishing Russia was there?" Stewart continued. "Journalist-jailing Turkey was there. Egypt — enough said."
(The money comments begin around the 4:15 minute mark of the video)
Stewart, visibly perplexed, questioned how the leader of the free world failed to participate in the march.
"How can Obama not be there?" he asked. "Look at how many world leaders he could have bowed down to and apologized. He missed an opportunity."
"How can the U.S. not be there when representatives from of such beacons of freedom and lack of censorship as journalist-punishing Russia was there?" Stewart continued. "Journalist-jailing Turkey was there. Egypt — enough said."
Stewart then slammed Attorney General Eric Holder for not representing the U.S. at the march, even though he was in Paris as it took place.
"What the f***?" the comedian said. "Eric Holder, you were in France! In Paris! At the time of the march and were like, 'eh'?"
"Unbelievable! An enormous global rally in supporting freedom of expression after an attack on a close ally and the U.S. was a no-show? It's going to take a lot to make up for this."

Jon Stewart Mocks Obama's New Ambassadors to Argentina and Hungary (Colleen Bell) … Then Shreds WH Spox Josh Earnest's Lame Comments
Jon Stewart of The Daily Show has been on a roll lately ripping the Obama administration. Then again, he has had so much material. What is sad, all he is doing is repeating what happened. Two new ambassadors, hand picked by Barack Obama,have been approved by the Senate. Their credentials you ask? None. America's new ambassador to Argentina doesn't even speak Spanish and the new ambassador to Hungary is a former soap opera producer, who has admitted not knowing what the US interests are in that region of the world. Because she did so well during the confirmation hearing. But they certainly bundled campaign cash for Obama.
Yesterday, we showed you Press Secretary Josh Earnest's lackluster response to being grilled on the matter by ABC's Jon Karl. But just how confounding was that response? On Wednesday's "Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, the host stopped everything to scream out his disapproval.
To recap, when Karl pushed on the pair's credentials and how it seems their greatest skill is their ability to raise funds for Obama, Earnest responded, "Frankly, I was not part of this decision-making process."
Stewart was dumbfounded.
"What?! You can't do that!" he yelled. "That is the greatest thing I've ever seen the president's press secretary do. His entire job — his only job — is built around trying not to go, 'Hey, look, I just fu***ng work here.' But that's what he did! 'Take it up with my supervisor! Earnest, out.'"

Jon Stewart Slams Barack Obama on Immigration … Didn't Obama Previously Says, 'I'm Not the Emperor of The United States'
Wow, even Comedy Channel's Jon Stewart mocked Barack Obama for his flip-flop on his, "I am not an Emperor," in taking executive action on immigration. In 2013 Obama was telling people who could not change immigration alone as that is not how the US Constitution worked and he was not the Emperor of the United States. As Stewart amusingly opined, "all it took was one bad midterm election" for Obama to go from "I'm not an emperor" to, well, this.
Jon Stewart took a shot at President Obama tonight for promising executive action on immigration over a year after saying he can't because he's not an "emperor."
Stewart found it amusing that "all it took was one bad midterm election" for Obama to go from "I'm not an emperor" to, well, this.
"My job is to execute laws that are passed and Congress right now has not changed what I consider to be a broken immigration system," Obama said. "I'm the president of the United States. I'm not the emperor of the United States."
Stewart said, though, that it only took "one bad midterm election" for the president to totally change his tune and abandon his initial "I'm not the emperor" sentiment.
But Republicans weren't immune to Stewart's critiques either, as he went after numerous politicians and talking heads during the segment.
EXIT QUESTION: How on earth does this man justify his actions when his own words states the contrary?
Daily Show's Jon Stewart Rips Obama and Democrats in Post 2014 Midterm Election Analysis … 'Chickensh*t' Dems, Obama Played Very Cynical Midterm Politics
The Daily Show's Jon Stewart properly names the Democrats 2014 midterm election strategy … the 'D*ckless H. Chickensh*t' gambit.
Ha, Ha, Ha … I don't agree with Jon Stewart that often, but he pretty much nailed this one. Democrats ran away from issues in red states that they thought were harmful to them and could cost them the elections. In the end they lost those states anyhow.
The "Daily Show" host went on to posit that the tactic was an intentional one used by the Democrats as a means to protect themselves in the midterm elections.
"Senate Democrats wanted to avoid votes on contentious issues, so they wouldn't have to take unpopular [stances] that might cost them reelection and they got the president to go along with it," Stewart said. "It's a well-known political maneuver known as the 'chickens**t gambit.' It's named, of course, for Senator Dickless H. Chickens**t."
He concluded by accusing Democrats of adopting a do-nothing strategy and avoiding acting on what voters elected them to do.

Even Lib Jon Stewart Rips Into Barack Obama for Acting 'Chaotic & Confused' on ISIS
Comedian Jon Stewart shredded President Barack Obama during his program Monday night, accusing him and his minions of acting "chaotic and confused" on how to deal with the Islamic State. Maybe the youth will now understand that Obama is a complete screw up.
Stewart concluded by pointing out a key difference between the Obama and Bush administrations: the Bush administration was "incredibly disciplined and focused" in doing the wrong thing, while the Obama administration is doing the right thing, but couldn't be more "chaotic and confused" about it.

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show Doesn't Blame Toxic Political Discourse For Arizona Jared Loughner Shooting Massacre
The Democrats might want to learn some thing from the Daily Shows, Jon Stewart.
As reported at Mediaite, Jon Stewart appears to be the voice of reason as Democrats try and play party politics with the terrible events of the Tucson, AZ shooting massacre at the hands of crazed gunman Jared Loughner. Instead of doing his usual satirical dialogue, Stewart addressed his audience and discussed the henious actions of a gunman who killed six, wounded many and left US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition. Stewart went so far as to tell his audience to concentrate on the positive and the heroic actions that came from his tragedy, rather than focus on the negative and speculation.
Jon Stewart did not blame the toxic political discourse or the vitriol, "prejudice and bigotry"as some have claimed for the shooting, although he stated that such rhetoric is not productive to finding solutions to issues and problems. There is a responsibility of those involved in political debate. I have to commend Jon Stewart for his reserved, thoughtful and well thought out remorseful, yet positive dialogue in dealing with such a heinous and deadly act. It is a far crime from those on the LEFT have been doing either in print, web, cable or even politicians. Stewart even made an "enemies" reference which is a direct shot at President Obama who called Republican opponents "enemies".
I do think that its important for us to watch our rhetoric, I do think that its a worthwhile goal not to conflate our political opponents with our enemies if for no other reason than to draw a better distinction between the manifestos of paranoid mad men and what passes for acceptable political and pundit speak. It would be really nice if the ramblings of crazy people didn't in any way resemble how we actually talk to each other on TV. Let's at least make troubled individuals easier to spot.
Is it any wonder why so many have rejected the LEFT's spin that the actions of Jared Loughner were caused by toxic political discourse? The LEFT cannot even spin the very people who are their demographic.

Deke: Les Miles is pumped for TCU
by Deke Bellavia
posted Aug 27 2013 8:54AM
As LSU Coach Les Miles put it yesterday at his first Lunch with Les yesterday, its "game week." 12th ranked LSU will battle 20th ranked TCU this Saturday in Big D. The excitement level is climbing even higher as we inch closer to Saturday's kickoff between the Tigers and Horned Frogs.
Coach Miles talked about how his veteran Defensive Coordinator John "Chief" Chavis has groomed up a young Tigers offense.
"As a veteran, and dealing with young guys, is really called upon to be his best in this two-a-day camp," Miles said. "He was. It looks like the kind of defense we're used to having here at LSU, I can't imagine it playing any differently."
Miles also talked about the type of training camp his new Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron has had as well.
"I can tell you that our team with Cam on offense are excited and are looking forward to performing at a very high level."
The Coach also spoke of how his team enjoys preparing for big games like this week's match-up with TCU and Miles broke down what type of team his Tigers are facing in their season opener this Saturday in Dallas.
"It's great to start a new season, there's great enthusiasm around our building, finally in game week. Now, we're confronted with a very significant challenge in TCU, a team that our team recognized as a great challenge and voted to take," Miles said.
"(Coach) Gary Patterson does a great job on defense, offense, and special teams…Well prepared, a very talented team. They have two very, very quality quarterbacks, (and) they return a bunch of starters from a successful team a year ago."
One point of interest at the first installment of Lunch with Les was the way Coach Miles handled the questions about the current status of LSU RB Jeremy Hill. Like he has done since he arrived at LSU, Miles simply kept family business within his Tigers Family.
"I would not be surprised that he (Hill) makes the trip. Again, the discipline will be internal, it will be something that we will deal with as a team."
Be sure and listen to our special features covering the big game between the Tigers and Horned Frogs each day right here on the home of the Tigers, WWL Radio and WWL.com

only les
Jeremy hill is a thug and I am a diehard Lsu fan and do not want him on the team,kenny hilliard and Alfred blue as well as terrance mcgee are just as good if not better! Sex with a minor and sucker punching a guy from behind while he's not looking and having a friend hit him as well,real tough guy there! Les miles is too easy on these players!
Zzzzz, wake me up when this team gets a coach that knows what he is doing!!
Let's all get excited for another LOST LSU Season. As long as this man is the coach this team WILL NOT be winning a championship. His offense is not creative and he can't develop a QB to save his life. He's a poor game-planner and can't make adjustments in the game.
don' be a hater
national championship best won lose record of any lsu coach.iI bet they should hire you!
National championship only because a miracle happened with Oklahoma and west va getting upset allowing us to make it in,and yeah with all the talent we get he should have a great record,its just when it matters he gets outcoached or kills his own team with idiotic decisions!
come on man
Les is a joke ------ bottom line ______________

Clair G. Dippold, 80, of 185 Center St., Elk Towers, St. Marys, and formerly of Schissle Street, died early Friday morning, Dec. 6, 2013, at the Elk Haven Nursing Home after a lengthy illness.
He was born Nov. 7, 1933 in St. Marys, son of the late Joseph and Josephine Kraft Dippold. He was a lifelong resident of the area and attended St. Marys Schools. He was a retired employee of the Stackpole Carbon Company.

This is the hardest week to handicap the NFL for some people, because different scenarios dictate what players will suit up for the game. This also has an effect on the Vegas line. Some of the opening lines for week 17 were unable to be posted early, but others were delayed.
After reviewing the odds here are three best bets for the NFL week 17 schedule.
FREE PICKS: For updated free football picks in college and the NFL, check out Bookie Blitz for the latest in free sports betting selections. More free--NFL Picks at the end of the article.
The Cardinals are out but playing at home in the last week of the season gives a team motivation to play well. Seattle came close to making a run at the playoffs, but fell short and now will be less than motivated to put forth a strong effort in the desert. The Seahawks are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games on grass and that will neutralize any advantage they may have had coming into this game. The Seahawks are just 1-4 ATS in the last five games at Arizona and the Cardinals are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 0.5-3.0.
The Raiders are still in a position to make the playoffs and with the Chiefs inspired to beat Denver; Oakland has to beat the Chargers. Luckily for the Raiders, the Chargers have thrown in the towel. A great NFL betting angle is to go against a team in week 17 when they were eliminated from the playoffs in week 16. The Chargers will be flat after getting hammered in Detroit, and ready to end the season. The Chargers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss and the Raiders are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 against the AFC West. The Chargers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings and they win and cover.
The Washington Redskins battle the Philadelphia Eagles in week 17 and there is nothing on the line for either team. The Eagles are battered and bruised and they are sick of hearing about the dream team. In short, they want this season to be over with. The Redskins are still playing hard and Mike Shanahan is cutting players. That gives the Redskins extra motivation going into this game. The Eagles are 2-8 ATS in the last ten home games and 4-11 ATS in the last 15 games as a favorite.
These are three best bets for week 17 in the NFL, but with recent news and information being released on the playing status of the top stars, look for more best bets at Bookie Blitz.com.

The low-key, cozy atmosphere of your cruise makes it perfect for intimate conversations or a special milestone celebration. Your luxurious, 3-hour Manhattan cruise concludes back at Pier 81.

If you are looking for something to give your significant other, this is it. Getting aboard ship on the Hudson and sitting at white tablecloth clad table with glass of bubbly was the beginning of magical evening. Food was very good and the sights are breathtaking, especially after sunset. Well worth the price.

We had a great time! Service was terrific. The food was very good and the dancing was totally fun. It was a most pleasant experience that also included the opportunity to see and take photos of lots of New York landmarks. You will enjoy it.
