Wednesday, February 27, 2013
A special group of athletes put the finishing touch on their Pinewood Prep basketball legacy Saturday in Sumter.
Pinewood seniors Raygon Hendrix, Brianna Boyd, Katelyn Dambaugh, Maria Corella, Jenifer Rhodes and Jazlyn Hooks led the Lady Panthers basketball team to a 57-50 win over Heathwood Hall during the 2013 SCISA AAA Girls' Championship Game. The win marks the third consecutive state championship the team's Class of 2013 has claimed.
"These girls have so much talent among them plus they have such great chemistry," Pinewood coach Nancy Beatty said. "They all had their own individual goals this year but since the beginning of the season collectively our goal was to cut down the net at the state tournament."
However, the third championship didn't come easy. Heathwood's Aja Wilson is one of the top juniors in the country and she scored 29 points in the championship game.
The teams entered the half tied. Then Pinewood outscored the Highlanders 18-12 in the third period and held on for the win.
"It was not our best game," Beatty said. "In the first half I was frustrated with our lack of movement. I think we were intimidated by Aja, which is understandable. We got good looks but didn't knock enough shots down."
Pinewood took 15 three-point shots in the first two periods but only sank four of them. However, the 3s began falling for Pinewood in the second half.
"Maria hit a 3 early in the third period and then I knew we would be OK," Beatty said. "That sparked a little run and helped me relax. I think that helped the girls relax."
Dambaugh also hit some jumpers in the second half and finished the game 4 of 7 for shots from behind the arch. Hendrix, who hit 10 of 10 free throws in the fourth period, led the Pinewood scorers with 15 points. Dambaugh finished with 12 points and Corella added 11 for the Panthers.
The Panthers improved to 27-4 on the season with the win while Heathwood dropped to 20-8.
It is a fitting end to a year that saw the Panthers go 12-0 in region play for the program's first undefeated mark in the conference and in which all five Pinewood starters signed to participate in college athletics. Dambaugh signed a golf scholarship while Hendrix, Boyd, Corella and Rhodes signed with college basketball programs. In preseason tournaments Pinewood held its own against teams that featured Division 1 talent.
Corella and Boyd both surpassed the 1,000-point scored benchmark for their Pinewood careers this season. Hendrix, Corella and Rhodes served as the team's captains. But Beatty says all six seniors made hefty contributions this year.
"Katelyn and Bri are role players who always shows up ready to play," the coach said. "Jaz didn't get as much playing time, but she was like a team mom. She helped everyone else out and kept spirits high. She also had some good performances on the court. Her rebounding was big for us at times and she put some points on the board."
Beatty says one of the things she will remember this year's senior class for the most is its unselfishness.
"At one point during the season I wanted to get some of our younger players some experience so I told our captains I wanted to start another five the next game," Beatty said. "They all thought it was a great idea. For them to not be worried about their stats in that situation says so much about their character. Also, whether they are on the floor or in the classroom they are all top-notch student athletes."
The Pinewood girls have claimed four state championships in the past five seasons. Beatty is hoping the examples this year's seniors set will lead to future success.
"We have some rebuilding to do next year, but at least we don't have to build from the ground up," she said. "These six players pushed everyone on the team and the other players have benefitted from practicing against them. Plus, because the kids returning went through the journey to Sumter with them they now know what level they need to play at and practice at. They know what it takes to get where they want to go."
Heathwood Hall (50): Wilson 29, Ress 6, Turberville 1, Dickerson 7, Joseph 5, Lefft 2.
Pinewood Prep (57): Hendrix 15, Dambaugh 12, Paylor 5, Corella 11, Rhodes 9, Boyd 5.

Strangeness and Charm by Mike Shevdon
"Mike Shevdon strikes sparks from the flinty core of English folklore,
as a hero every reader can relate to finds he's part of an incredible
and scarily believable parallel realm. If you've been thinking
urban fantasy has nothing fresh to offer, think again."
– Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Lescari Revolution series
"The pacing is spot-on, the characters engaging, and the world fits together
beautifully to create a London that ought to be."
– C. E. Murphy, author of The Inheritors' Cycle and The Worldwalker Duology
Alex has been saved from the fate that awaited her in Bedlam, but in freeing her, Niall has released others of their kind into the population. Now, as Warder, he must find them and persuade them to swap their new-found liberty for security in the courts – but is the price of sanctuary to swap one cage for another?

Fifty shades of Graydon Long: Former Perrysburg student returns to area with musical tourWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
When the musical "Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody" comes to the stage of the Stranahan Theater on Oct. 5, the performance of the raunchy and irreverent show will be an unusual — but exciting — homecoming for one of its stars.
Graydon Long, the young actor who plays hunky lead Hugh Hansons in the parody of E.L. James' blockbuster bondage romance series, is a Northwest Ohio native who attended Perrysburg High School (PHS) growing up. Only a few months into his first national tour as an actor, he gets to return to his old stomping grounds.
"It's really kind of a dream come true," Long said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "I've seen all sorts of shows at the Stranahan growing up, going through high school and doing theater. And I was actually really, really excited because it's the same stage I graduated on. So I will be performing there — it's a dream come true for me."
Beyond the joy of being in front of his hometown friends and family, though, is the deeper dream of being a successful performer — something that has been a passion of Long's almost as far back as he can remember.
"I just love being a part of things that entertain people, or at least, you know, make them feel something in any regard," he said. "I have always wanted to be an actor, since I was a kid. It's just something I've been drawn to, kind of a need I have. And my parents have always supported me. I love music, and I get to dance and sing in the show as well, so that's also appealing to me."
Growing up in the Perrysburg school system gave Graydon plenty of opportunity to learn his craft — the PHS Theatre Department puts on shows that rival most colleges in terms of production value. After graduation, Long attended the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, which he credited with really seasoning him as a performer.
"We just learned how to be a better actor, and just more well-rounded. When I was in high school, I was like, 'Oh, I'll just do as much as I can, and just have a good time.' And that was amazing, and I learned a lot there. But when I got to school, I actually started getting training in acting, singing and dancing, and because of that I was able to hone the skills I have, and sort of explore new ones as well."
One of the perks of an education at the conservatory came in the form of the Senior Showcase — a chance for students to demonstrate their abilities before agents and casting directors in Chicago and New York. Long relocated to the Big Apple after several agents expressed interest, earning a part on an episode of the CW series "The Carrie Diaries" in the process.
"Spank," though, is a relatively new development in Long's career — indeed, the show is relatively new, as well, having been written just last year. "At the time, it was a nonunion production. But they started auditioning again this year for replacements of the roles, and that's when I went — at the beginning of July, this year. And that's when they cast me, and I was in Montreal, rehearsing with the director the next week," Long said.
"I had never read the book [series], and upon seeing the show for the first time, I thought it was hilarious. Because not only are there jokes about the books — which you might not necessarily understand if you hadn't read them — but there's a lot of pop culture references. There's just a lot of witty writing throughout the show that just provides a lot of laughs."
It has been almost a trial by fire for Long during his first national tour — mere weeks after being cast, Long performed his first shows in August. He credits his co-workers for his ability to adapt quickly to the day-to-day realities of life on the road.
"I was very nervous before going on, just because it was such a quick rehearsal process. But everyone in the cast was so supportive that once we started performing, I really got the hang of things. And tour life is fun so far — I've gotten to see some places I've never really been able to see."
As far as whatever the future holds — well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, Long said.
"[If] a bigger opportunity were to arise, I might take advantage of that. But for now, this is the best job I've really gotten so far," he said. "I've only been out of college for a year. And this is certainly something that I'm really happy to be a part of."

Bend's venerable Domino Room will host two nights of quality music this weekend. On Saturday, it'll be a dance party with Seattle Afro-funk band Polyrhythmics and Eugene acid-jazz group Eleven Eyes. But first up, tonight'll be a string-band hoedown with frequent Bend visitors Polecat (from Washington state) and one of the country's finest contemporary bluegrass acts, The Infamous Stringdusters from Charlottesville, Va.
My colleague David Jasper spoke with Stringduster bassist Travis Book about the band's fans and why he doesn't mind when people don't pay attention to their shows. Here's an excerpt of his story.
"We're seeing a lot of people come to the shows, and some of them are refugees from country music," he said. "And we're also seeing a lot of people who were into the jam-band music scene. It's interesting. We have one of the more diverse audiences I've seen. I think that's a testament to the diversity of sound within our band. It runs the full range from country to rock to jazz and more improvisational art forms. So it's an interesting time for us."
And all those diverse audiences are welcome to enjoy themselves however they please at a Stringdusters show. Even if that means talking through the performance.
Wait. Isn't this a notorious pet peeve of live performers? Surely it must bother him when people sit at the bar, virtually ignoring him while he's working so hard keeping his upright bass up, right?
"Hell no," Book said. "They can do whatever they want. As long as they pay (for) the ticket and they're enjoying themselves and not taking away from anybody else's experience, by all means. Sometimes I go to shows, and that's all I want to do is socialize. Sometimes I want to throw down and dance and sometimes I just want to sit and listen."
You should read the whole thing.

The Christmas shopping season officially begins Friday, and we're certain that most of you are ready to get started.
Perhaps you plan to take advantage of "Black Friday" with an out-of-town shopping trip to Huntington or Lexington. Maybe you'll wait until "Cyber Monday" to catch some bargains online. There is certainly nothing wrong with that.
But we hope you also consider doing at least a portion of your holiday shopping in Floyd County, with local merchants. Doing so would be a Christmas gift to the whole community.
When you fork over your cash for some item or another, that money does not disappear. Obviously, it stays with the retailer when you leave, but it doesn't stay long. That retailer then uses your money to pay employees, restock shelves and buy essential services. From there, the process repeats itself, on down the line.
Each dollar spent locally turns over several times, and the more local the spending, the greater the multiplier. Studies have shown that a dollar spent with a local "mom-and-pop" shop turns over two or three times more than does a dollar spent with the local branch of some national chain retailer.
So, this year and every year, look for reasons to buy locally when you're shopping for Christmas. There are many gift shops and other stores in the area that can supply almost any need, or you could always buy a gift certificate to one of the many local restaurants.
Whatever you do, whenever you buy local, you're always giving a gift to your community.
— The Floyd County Times

Russell's PK Score Not Enough
- Release Date:
- September 14, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY –Elmira College (4-0) escaped with a 2-1 victory over Hilbert College in a non-conference men's soccer game September 14. Both teams were emotionally charged and played through a total of 26 fouls and 6 yellow cards on a cool and overcast afternoon. Senior Eric Russell's {in photo to right} score in the 78th minute gave Hawks new life, but time ran out on the team, dropping their overall record to 0-5.
Elmira's Edward Michelson drew first blood on a rifled-kick to the lower right corner off a restart. Hilbert's Kamil Cislak had no chance at stopping the ball from behind his defensive wall. Both teams played even the rest of the first half and continued their back and forth rally into the first 25 minutes of the second period. Alex Poole netted the Soaring Eagles second goal at 70:56 giving Elmira what they thought was a nice cushion.
Eight minutes later, after a hand ball in the box was called on the visitors, Hilbert's Eric Russell stepped up and calming went left as the keeper went right, giving the Hawks their first goal of the game.
Elmira had a 8-1 advantage in corner kicks and out-shot the Hawks 13-7. Both goalies finished with 4 saves but Hilbert's keeper stepped in to break-up more scoring opportunities. James Knapp, Scott Cvetkovski, Tom Cheney, Jon Flowers and Ed Heffron all played gutsy defense and never backed down from the offensive push that Elmira threw at them.
The Hawks have one more home contest (September 17) before they hit the road again. Hilbert hosts cross-town rival Buffalo State Saturday (1pm) then will board a bus and travel to Morrisville (9/19) and Thiel (9/21).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

FORT WAYNE — Columbia City's girls basketball team fell on the wrong side of a back-and-forth battle Wednesday at Snider.
The Lady Eagles faced Northeast Hoosier Conference foe Carroll in the sectional opener, losing 65-57 in a closer game than the score depicts.
Until the final two minutes, for most of the game, neither team had a lead of more than five points.
There were 17 lead changes and seven ties, but foul trouble led to Columbia City's demise, as the Lady Eagles had five players foul out in the last four minutes of play — when Carroll took the lead and didn't give it back.
Though foul trouble may have cost the Lady Eagles' the game, Columbia City was very successful from its own free-throw line, hitting 12-for-12 in the second half — an asset that helped keep the Lady Eagles competitive in the final minutes.
Columbia City's Reghan Decker scored the final bucket of the Lady Eagles' season with 2.2 seconds left in the game to make the score 65-57.
Columbia City finishes the season 8-15 with two seniors, Hannah Schnorr and Megan Deutsch, finishing their careers as Lady Eagles.
Schnorr scored five points, had four rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal in her last game. Deutsch tallied seven points, three rebounds, two steals, and assist and a block.
Whiteleather had a team-high 21 points and 12 rebounds.

The winger would likely cost in the region of £8million and has long been attracting the eye of Premier League clubs, including former club Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
But top-flight Swansea along with Championship winners Cardiff and play-off victors Palace are now also shown to be considering a move.
Palace boss Ian Holloway is thought to view Ince as an ideal replacement for Wilfried Zaha, who has moved to Manchester United, after managing the 21-year-old at Blackpool.
Ince scored 18 goals as Blackpool finished 15th in the Championship in 2012/13 and he was recently involved in England's disappointing European Under 21 Championship campaign.

Recent translations of Dogen's Mana Shobogenzo, compiled shortly after he returned from China, offer both a prologue to his later writings and an invaluable summing-up of his vigorous, unsurpassable practice. We will be studying selected koans from the collection and, where possible, relating them to later commentaries in the Shobogenzo as well as those of the Song dynasty Chinese masters who were his inspiration. In the process, we will explore both what it means to study koans as texts, and what it is to practice with them in a way that goes beyond study.

Ohio-made Buckeye Vodka growingWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A new company operated by a family of fourth-generation Ohioans has been rapidly expanding the availability of its handcrafted vodka across the state, including in Northwest Ohio.
Buckeye Vodka, which launched in April, has been successful beyond its founders' expectations, with more than 2,000 cases sold in its first six months, said Jim Finke, CEO of Dayton-based Crystal Spirits LLC.
"We really hit the ground running and we've done something nobody thought we could do," Finke said. "We didn't hire a distributor to start with; we just kind of did it ourselves and everybody was telling us we were nuts, but we've had a great response. The market has really surprised us. We are more than double our projections. We didn't think we'd be where we are today."
Buckeye Vodka is now available at more than 260 locations, with plans to expand into about 80 more stores in the coming months, said Finke, a Dayton native who graduated from Bowling Green State University.
The brand is also available at hundreds of bars and restaurants across the state, including Bar 145, Black Pearl, Chud's Grille, Dale's Bar and Grill, The Distillery, Easy Street Café, El Camino Real, Ferdos Mediterranean Restaurant, Fricker's (Bowling Green, Fremont, Maumee, Perrysburg), Georgio's, Howard's Club H, Inverness Club, Mancy's Italian Grill, Matthew's Creative Cuisine, Maumee Bay Brewing Co., Parkway Lounge, La Scola Italian Grill, South End Grille, Swig, Trotters Tavern, The Village Idiot, Wesley's Bar & Grill and Zia's.
Finke said the quality that most sets Buckeye Vodka apart from other vodkas is that it's made with distilled water — thanks to his brother-in-law Tom Rambasek, Crystal Spirits president and owner/operator of The Crystal Water Company in Dayton.
"Since 80-proof vodka is 60 percent water, water is a key component of vodka," Finke said. "We use his distilled water in the vodka, which very few companies do. I don't know anyone else who does that; it's too expensive. But it makes for a very clean, pure product."
Between Rambasek's water company and Finke's wholesale distribution business, The Finke Company, manufacturing vodka was a perfect fit for the family, Finke said.
Rambasek converted a company warehouse into a distillery, where the vodka — which is gluten-free and made with regionally grown corn — is filtered 10 times through a high-tech, state-of-the-art, custom-built 20-foot column still to eliminate impurities.
"The logo and the look of it and the fact that it's made in Ohio gets people to pick it up and try it, but the proof is in the pudding and when they taste it, they go back after it," Finke said.
Finke and Rambasek, along with Finke's brother Chris and friend Marty Clarke, developed the Buckeye Vodka concept in 2009 after realizing the spirits market was growing despite the recession.
"Dayton's a lot like Toledo. People there are friendly, they're salt of the earth, a lot of blue-collar workers. Everybody's business was suffering and whole area was just hurting," Finke said. "We wanted to do something to keep money in Ohio, to keep it local. There's no reason you can't make a good vodka here in Ohio or the United States."
The brothers had always thought about operating a family business and started looking for opportunities, Finke said.
They set out to create an ultra-premium, ultra-smooth vodka they could sell for less than $20 — a goal they accomplished. A 750-milliliter bottle of Buckeye Vodka retails for $19.15 with a 1.75-liter size slated to hit shelves Dec. 1, Finke said.

Based on the Marvel Comics character from World War II. A brave, yet mild-mannered young soldier named , volunteers to undergo a series of experiments for a US army Super Soldier program. The military succeeds in transforming him into a human weapon, but quickly decide that their Super Soldier is far too expensive a creation to risk in combat. So, they decide to put him to use as an army celebrity and parade him across Europe to boost morale by performing in USO shows for American troops. He is even given a costume that bear the colors of Old Glory for the stage. Then, when a Nazi plot reveals itself Rogers must rise up and and become the First Avenger, in order to save his country. Steve Rogers becomes Captain America and he earns his way into the hearts and souls of every American, bringing hope and justice to a war-weary nation. Later, during a mission to Germany to stop his archenemy – , from launching rockets at the allies, Captain America sacrifices himself and winds up frozen in ice for almost six decades! Revived, Steve Rogers now must join forces with new heroes and become an Avenger of the modern age.
Bright headlights cut through a thick sheet of snow-flakes. A scientist, bundled as warmly as possible, treks through the sleet. Two other men, in matching black cold-weather uniforms, approach the scientist. He leads them to an excavation site which is easily the size of a football field; at the center of the site appears to be a giant wing and fuselage. The black-suited men cut through the fuselage of the mystery craft and enter. Inside they find the remains of a massive, frozen ship. One of the men brushes away at the snow and sees a shimmering red, white, and blue shield encased in many feet of ice.
Norway, 1942. Two caretakers for an ancient Viking ruin listen as their town is overrun by Nazis. Suddenly the front door blasts open and in flood multiple Nazi agents. One of the caretakers is killed in the blast and the other frantically begs that the soldiers leave him in peace. They pay no attention to the old man and instead open the building's crypts one-by-one. They come to one sarcophagus whose lid is too heavy to lift. A dark figure appears in the exploded entryway. Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving), a high-ranking Nazi, nonchalantly enters. He crosses the room, comes to the difficult-to-open sarcophagus and easily pushes the lid free. Within he finds the skeletal remains of an old Viking clutching a glass cube (the Tesseract). The caretaker pleads for Schmidt to leave it. Schmidt scoffs and tells how this cube would be the jewel of Odin's treasury if it weren't a fake. He smashes it on the floor and goes to the caretaker, asking where the real cube reposes. The caretaker initially refuses but under threat of harm to his family, he relents, gesturing to a hidden drawer across the room. Schmidt pries the drawer open and finds the real, glowing cube concealed within. Schmidt orders his men to level the city and then shoots the caretaker.
Brooklyn, New York. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans): a 20-something, 90 lb, 5-foot tall asthmatic eagerly awaits the opportunity to enlist in the United States Army. The army doctor gives a once-over to Steve's medical file, which reads like that of a 90 year old man, and rejects Steve's application as the military 4-F.
Distraught Steve heads to the movies. He envies the enlisted men featured in the pre-show newsreel, and watches as other audience members tear up. A loud-mouthed, impatient movie-goer begins yelling at the screen "Start the movie! I didn't pay to see this crap!" Steve tells the man to shut up, and is surprised as the man turns around, stands up and towers above him. In the alley behind the theater the bully savagely beats little Steve. Skinny Steve bravely fights back, but is easily overpowered. James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Shaw), Steve's best friend, comes running to the alley. He swiftly kicks the bully away and tends to Steve, who is annoyed that Bucky showed up and got rid of the bully right as Steve got his second wind. "Bucky" is now an enlisted-man. His application was accepted and he's been assigned to the 107th infantry.
In a celebratory mood, Bucky invites Steve to go dancing with a pair of girls on a double date. Bashfully, Steve tags along. The four head to the World's Fair in NYC. While Bucky canoodles with his dates, Steve watches as a young Howard Stark (Dominic West) unsuccessfully demonstrates a flying car. Steve breaks away from the group and goes to another recruiting station. Bucky catches up with him and asks how Steve intends to forge his application this time. Unbeknownst to them both Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) while passing by, eves drops on their conversation. He is fascinated by the gumption of Steve. Bucky wishes Steve good luck on his latest application and Steve heads in to the recruiting station for his fifth physical. Inside Steve sits on an examination table and grows nervous when an MP enters the room, and is soon followed by Dr. Erskine. Dr. Erskine has all of Steve's prior applications, and recognizing Steve's strong will and unwavering conviction, he accepts his latest application.
In a secret military installation high in the Alps of Germany, Johann Schmidt brings the glowing cube to Dr. Arnim Zola, his Hydra weapon specialist. The cube's seemingly limitless power enables Schmidt and Zola to power unstoppable energy guns and cannons. The pair is soon visited by a trio of Hitler's top commanders, tasked with inspecting Schmidt's operation. They ridicule Schmidt, saying that the Nazi party no longer takes him seriously due to his obsession with magic and the occult and playfully refer to him as "The Red Skull"; something that infuriates Schmidt. Schmidt takes the three to his weapons lab where they are shown his unstoppable energy weapons and a strategic map of Europe dotted with targets. One of the three notices a target hovering over Berlin and confronts Schmidt. Schmidt quickly kills the three Nazi officers. By doing so Schmidt announces that Hydra has disbanded from the Nazi party and is now enemies with everyone.
Meanwhile, Steve has been enlisted into basic training under the careful watch of Dr. Erskine and Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones). He and his platoon are told that they are candidates for the government's latest "Super Soldier" program. Phillips is unimpressed with Steve and is vexed by Erskine's interest in him. During basic training Steve meets a beautiful, but serious British officer Peggy Carter (Haley Atwell) who seems to pity Steve. Despite being the smallest and weakest of the platoon, Steve demonstrates the greatest spirit and selflessness. Phillips, still unconvinced, tosses a grenade into the group, and is surprised as Steve leaps on top of it, willing to sacrifice himself, before discovering that the grenade was a dummy. Phillips concedes to Erskine's decision.
That evening Erskine speaks with Steve. The two bond over a bottle of Schnapps and Erskine tells how this is not his first time performing this experiment. He tells a story of being a scientist in Germany, and being ordered by Johann Schmidt to create a serum that would give a man god-like strength. Erskine created an early version of the serum he intends to use on Steve, only when Schmidt injected himself his body's skin corroded away, leaving him as a sinewy red skeleton. Undeterred by the risk, Steve agrees to follow through with the procedure.
The following morning Steve and Peggy wind their way through Brooklyn and come to a stop in front of an old antique shop. Along the way Steve points out various parts in Brooklyn where he's been beat up. She asks him why he never ran away. He responds that running away, in his mind, was an invitation for further abuse.
The two enter the antique shop, exchange pass-codes with an old woman manning the register and descend into a secret military bunker concealed within. Peggy leads Steve to the heart of the bunker where they find Dr. Erskine preparing a medical capsule along with Howard Stark, and Colonel Phillips rubbing elbows with senators and dignitaries. Steve is told to remove his shirt and sit in the capsule. Stark describes that the procedure will first mean injecting muscle regenerators into Rogers' major muscle groups which will then be bombarded with vita rays. Carter bids Steve good luck and joins Phillips in the overhead viewing chamber. Erskine's serum is injected into Steve's muscles and Steve is enclosed within the vita ray capsule. The capsule glows brightly, and thanks to Steve's will-power, the procedure is quickly completed. Steve exits the capsule a foot taller, and a hundred pounds heavier with solid mussle. Everybody, including Phillips, celebrates the success of the procedure, and descends from the viewing chamber to congratulate Erskine. A lone dignitary stays behind, placing a small satchel on a chair. Moments later the viewing gallery explodes, the dignitary descends the stairs and fatally shoots Erskine. He swiftly kills the guards and flees to the street with Peggy in hot pursuit. Steve tends to a dying Erskine, who has just enough energy to point to Steve's heart; Erskine passes. Steve angrily bolts out of the bunker, onto the street.
In the street Peggy pursues the impostor, a German spy named Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage), and easily kills his getaway driver. Kruger steals a taxi and aims to run over Peggy. Steve arrives in the nick of time, saving her from being flattened by the on-coming taxi. Steve pursues the taxi on foot. He leaps onto the roof of the taxi, dodges Kruger's gunfire and the two come to a crashing stop at the Brooklyn docks. Kruger flees to his Hydra sub, which dives underwater just as Steve arrives. Steve dives after the sub, punches a hole through the cockpit's glass and yanks Kruger to the surface. Kruger tells Steve that he is a member of Hydra and that when one head dies, two more take it's place. He pops a fake tooth loose, and swallows it. Foam bubbles from his mouth and Kruger dies.
The following day Phillips and Carter pick up the remains of Erskine's lab. Both are despondent because the only man able to produce the super soldier serum was Erskine. Steve is eager to go the front lines but Phillips would rather he be a lab-rat than a soldier in his army. Steve is approached by a senator holding a newspaper of the prior day's events, emblazoned with a front-page photo of Steve chasing down Heinz Kruger. Steve has become an overnight celebrity and the Senator has an idea that will be mutually beneficial. Steve is enlisted in the USO and travels around the American midwest performing musical numbers in a shoddy red, white and blue costume while carrying a stars-and-stripes shield. He takes on the name "Captain America." Captain America becomes an overnight success, spawning comic books and black and white movies. His antics drum up revenue for the USO.
Steve is soon taken overseas, to Italy, where he is to entertain the troops. Upon his arrival the surly and war-torn men tease him and tell him to get lost. He is soon met by Carter, who along with Phillips, is overseeing this theater of the war. She tells him that the men are unhappy because many men from their division, the 107th, have been killed in battle. Steve realizes that Bucky was a part of the 107th and quickly runs to see Phillips. Phillips is unable to find any man named Barnes on his casualty list and tells Steve to go back to his job as a movie star and a cheerleader. Steve asks Carter where the men, and Bucky, are being held. She shows him a map, and a Hydra weapons plant 30-40 miles behind enemy lines. Steve hastily pulls on a pair of army trousers and leather jacket over his Captain America costume, and a blue helmet with a white 'A' stamped on the front. He aims to steal a jeep and drive into Hydra's back yard, but she has a better idea.
Howard Stark flies them both over the battlefield in his private prop-plane. Steve surmises that Stark and Carter have a relationship and bashfully withholds his feelings for her. Just as AAA guns from Hydra begins firing on Stark's plane, Steve parachutes in, while the other two escape back to safety. Steve stealthily makes his way into the Hydra base, taking out numerous guards in the process.
Inside Johann Schmidt and Arnim Zola are manufacturing enough weapons to wipe out every capital in the world. Steve makes his way to the holding cells where he sees hundreds of imprisoned men from the 107th. He frees the men and tells them to make a messy exit. Under the leadership of the "Howling Commandos" the prisoners manage to overpower their captors, steal guns and tanks, and escape from the facility. Schmidt watches Steve by CCTV, and quickly realizes that he must be Erskine's man. Steve makes his way through the facility and happens across Bucky, who is tied down to an operating table. There, he also notices an oversized tactical map mounted on the wall, with various marked installations. Steve frees Bucky, who is surprised to see that Steve is taller than him, and commits the map to memory. The two head up the catwalks and find themselves face-to-face with Schmidt on a telescoping bridge. Rogers punches Schmidt in the face who surprisingly stands his ground. Schmidt plays with his face, as it has apparently come free from his skull and quickly peels it away as a mask. The Red Skull stares back at Rogers and Bucky and swiftly enters an elevator. In the elevator The Red Skull tells Arnim Zola to meet him at another one of Hydra's bases and to take his car. The Red Skull escapes the exploding facility in a private plane while Zola sneaks away in Schmidt's roadster. Inside Steve and Bucky have a huge divide to cross to their freedom. Bucky crosses a trembling, buckling support beam and manages to cross to safety moments before the beam plummets into the fire below. Left with no other option, Steve backs up as far as he can and leaps over the burning chasm. His fate is unknown.
Back at the 107th base camp, Phillips dictates a letter to his typist, telling how Rogers disappeared the prior night and likely perished during the battle. Just then Rogers arrives, with nearly 400 survivors of the 107th, leaving the base in a fervor. Rogers submits himself to Phillips' discipline for going MIA, but is forgiven.
The news of "Captain America's" success on the battlefield is swept over the world. In Brooklyn, Steve gives Phillips and Carter his best recollection of the Hydra base map and tells them that he intends to go to those bases and take them out one-by-one and wishes to recruit a team of men made up of those he liberated in Italy. Steve meets the men (the Howling Commandos) in a bar and they eagerly accept the offer. While there all the men are surprised as Peggy enters dressed in a form-fitting cocktail dress. She ignores all the men, including Bucky, and flirts with Steve, telling him that she'd love to have a dance with him some day.
The next day Steve is summoned to the Brooklyn bunker to see Phillips and Stark. Steve is approached by a beautiful female officer who wishes to thank him for his service the best way she knows how. Peggy walks in on Steve kissing the enlisted-woman and angrily storms away. Steve apologetically follows her to Stark's lab, insisting that he gets nervous around women and asks why he should apologize if Carter and Stark have a thing going. Stark quickly shoots down the rumored relationship and takes Steve to a table filled with prototype shields. Steve lifts a circular, vibranium shield. Stark explains that vibranium is lighter than steel and is vibration resistant. He holds the shield in front of him and asks Peggy for his opinion. She playfully/scornfully fires a clip at the shield, which Steve ducks behind. The shield works. As she walks off, Steve passes a sketch of a uniform to Stark.
Steve dresses in red, white and blue fatigues, dons a blue form-fitting helmet and lifts the star spangled shield onto his back. Captain America and his soldiers, including Bucky, make their way across Europe, flattening Hydra's bases one-by-one. News of his exploits reach the Red Skull and Zola.
High in the Alps, Steve and his men have a mission to apprehend Zola in his personal train. Three member of the team: Ca

Hugo Weaving

LONDON (January 18, 2013)--The vice president of the International Olympic Committee was among those weighing in Friday on Lance Armstrong's televised interview with Oprah Winfrey in which the disgraced Texas cycling champion admitted using performance-enhancing drugs to win seven Tour de France titles.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Thomas Bach said Armstrong's doping confession is "too little, too late" and fails to provide any new information that will help clean up the sport he tarnished through years of cheating.
A day after stripping Armstrong of his bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the IOC urged Armstrong to supply details to anti-doping authorities in order to "bring an end to this dark episode."
The International Cycling Union said Armstrong's confession of doping is "an important step" toward repairing the damage he did to cycling.
UCI President Pat McQuaid said for Armstrong to confront his past, in the interview with the talk-show host, moves cycling "forward on the long road" to restoring confidence in the sport.
McQuaid said the UCI would welcome Armstrong participating in a proposed "truth and reconciliation process" for cycling.
McQuaid said Armstrong "confirmed there was no collusion or conspiracy between the UCI and Lance Armstrong."
Armstrong reportedly paid the UCI $125,000, which former teammates testified was in exchange for covering up suspicious drug tests.
Armstrong's former teammate, Tyler Hamilton, called the cyclist's confession a "big first step" but said Armstrong must follow it up by telling authorities everything he knows about the doping programs he used to win his Tour de France titles.
Hamilton's testimony was key to the case against Armstrong.
He described the doping program on Armstrong's team and the power Armstrong wielded in pressuring teammates to go along with the doping.
About 12 hours after watching Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey, Hamilton told The Associated Press, "He's broken. He's broken," and insisted he'd never seen Armstrong act the way he acted in the interview.
Hamilton rode with Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service team from 1998 to 2001.

At River Oaks Middle School Daniel Fairburn stays busy.
The 28-year-old teaches keyboarding, computer applications and entrepreneurship. He has assisted in coaching girls volleyball at the school and just finished up baseball. He is a coach for boys basketball the team just won their third basketball championship in a row. The Summerville resident is on the schools PBIS committee and was voted Rookie Teacher of the Year last year.
While he is in his second year teaching he is also working to become a certified teacher, meaning he gets to teach and learn how to teach at the same time.
Fairburn is at school from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on a daily basis but he is loving it.
Fairburn was born and raised in Lima, Ohio and attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio, majoring in sports management.
His mother was a teacher. Growing up, he might have considered the profession as well, but he loved playing sports and wanted to be in the sports industry.
He ended up working for a minor league baseball team in Ohio before transferring to Savannah, Ga. to work with a different team.
Eventually working 160 games out of the year took its toll on Fairburn, who decided to move to the Summerville area with his now-wife Jennifer.
Fairburn enrolled in a program called PACE Program of Alternative Certification for Educators through which he is going to become a certified teacher.
He has been at River Oaks for four years, starting off as a substitute teacher and then an ISS instructor. He is now in his second year teaching keyboarding, computer applications and entrepreneurship.
I think its exactly where Im supposed to be, Fairburn said.
Fairburn said his hardest experience with teaching thus far has been observing students who are overall good kids, but end up making a mistake or two that costs them their spot at school.
They get expelled or go to an alternative school and then down the line you start hearing things about them, Fairburn said. Its hard to see that happen to some kids.
On the flipside, Fairburn loves seeing his own students succeed, and his best experience teaching comes watching students pass the final exam.
Computer applications is a high school class for middle schoolers, and it is good to see when a big percentage of them are passing the final exam so they can go to high school with one credit, he said. You get a smile on your face when you see them do well and pass that test.
Professionally, Fairburn hopes to finish PACE and obtain his official teachers license. He has dreams of being a high school coach maybe even an athletic director. His main goal is to become an administrator.
Outside of the school Fairburn enjoys playing golf. This June he will have been married to his wife Jennifer for one year. Jennifer is a math teacher at River Oaks. The couple has no children but Fairburn said his life goal is to grow old with his wife and raise a family.
For fun Fairburn likes to go on dates with his wife; they enjoy going to dinner and movies. They honeymooned in Jamaica and have plans to put money away so they can one day travel back.

Institute for Conflict Management
It would be wonderful if we could all get along all of the time. But back here on earth, we must work to resolve our differences—because disagreements and disputes are roadblocks to progress. In order to overcome impasses, we must manage conflicts and agree to move forward together.
