Alumni Spotlight on Emily Chaney
In the Spotlight: Alumna Emily Chaney
Deputy United States Marshal Emily Chaney, '10 is a go getter. From the time she was in high school, her ambitious attitude allowed her to reach goals that would take most people a lifetime to achieve. Kent State University at East Liverpool played an important role in her journey.
Chaney developed her career goals at Edison High School. As a senior, she enrolled in Kent State's Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO), to get an early start on the college degree she knew she would need for her future career in law enforcement. PSEO is one of three Kent State East Liverpool programs that allow high school students to take college courses for free.
After graduating high school, Chaney continued to take courses at Kent State East Liverpool aiming for a degree in criminal justice. Chaney said she enjoyed attending Kent State East Liverpool because of the small classes and the teacher-to- student ratio. "The instructors had a much better opportunity to get to know each student and it was much easier to talk one-on-one with them if I had any problems or questions," Chaney added. Unlike larger universities where you can become just a number, students at Kent State East Liverpool benefit from 22:1 instructor-to-student ratio. Criminology and Justice Studies instructor, Paul Blevins, recalls Emily's commitment to academic excellence by "always looking for additional information about federal law enforcement. I knew she would succeed and I am proud Kent State East Liverpool played a role in this."
In 2007, Chaney continued her courses at the Kent Campus where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a minor in sociology.
"As I was going through my college years, I began looking at federal law enforcement," she said. "I applied to many agencies and received an interview with the United States Marshals Service. Seeing as my father is a Deputy U.S. Marshal, the U.S. Marshals Service was my top choice." Chaney was thrilled with this opportunity. Her father, James Chaney, '84 is also a deputy U.S. Marshal and Kent State graduate. "Kent State prepared me to follow in my father's footsteps," stated Chaney.
Chaney was hired by the U.S. Marshals in April of 2010. She continued her education at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) academy located in Glynco, GA in August of that year. "After I graduated, I was filled with pride," Chaney said. "I was proud to be part of the oldest and most versatile federal law enforcement agency in our country, and I was proud of all the hard work and determination it took to accomplish my goal."
Some of her daily activities include transporting prisoners from local jails to the federal courthouse where they will see a District Court or Magistrate Court Judge, processing new prisoners and updating their files and performing fugitive investigations on felony and misdemeanor warrants.
During the two years Chaney has spent with U.S. Marshals she has received two Time-Off awards for having superior scores in fitness and one Time-Off award for a significant arrest she made during a court hearing.
Chaney hopes to make a career as a U.S. Marshal and is looking forward to what the future holds. "My future goals center on finding my niche in the Marshals Service."
Chaney is one of many diverse success stories at Kent State University. Students can complete more than 25 degrees locally including 12 bachelor's degrees.
Enroll now for summer courses at either one of our two conveniently located campuses. For more information please call Kent State East Liverpool at 330-385-3805 or Kent State Salem at 330-332-0361.

We absolutely LOVE hearing how GoGrid customers are using our cloud solutions to create unique "cloud fingerprints" and environments using the features and data centers of GoGrid. Paul Trippett just published a very interesting write-up of an infrastructure environment that addresses many of the common concerns facing any company looking to provide a highly-redundant infrastructure while also ensuring a solid Service Level Agreement (SLA) for their customers.
You can find Paul's original write-up titled "Utilizing GoGrid's Multiple Data Centers for Routing and Failover" on his site. With his permission, we have reposted the article so that others can learn, mimic and build upon his unique scenario.
At the beginning of the year one of our customers asked us if we can provide an SLA for StormRETS and with it, the sound gritting teeth suddenly echoed around the room. As you can imagine, this caused more questions than which we actually had answers for:
What kind of SLA did we want to provide and what could we realistically provide?
Our hosting provider, at the time, had an SLA which entailed "We don't give any guarantee that your servers will be available, but if for any reason they are unavailable we will get the back up and running as soon as we can.", erm, how on earth can we build a SLA based on that. It was decided at this time we would migrate our servers to another hosting provider, one at least with a SLA we can build on and a company we can actually contact directly should a problem arise.

NICEVILLE — A strong Niceville boys soccer team was too much for Crestview to handle Thursday night in a District 1-4A contest.
The Eagles used an aggressive and attacking style of play to stymie the Bulldogs on both ends of the field.
When the final whistle sounded the Eagles had a 4-0 win over Crestview.
Crestview coach Scottie Milton said the Bulldogs (0-2, 0-2) were unable to match the strength of the Eagles.
"Niceville is one of the top teams in the state and they came out pretty physical this game," he said. "We really couldn't match their physicality that they had. We just have to get a little better."
Niceville (1-1, 1-0) drew first blood less than 10 minutes into the match when Colton Savage scored after a mad scramble in front of the net.
For a while it looked as if the Savage goal would be the only one of the first half as both defenses stiffened. But in the final minutes of the half Matt Worthen scored on a penalty kick to extend the lead to 2-0.
A Joey Bohler goal early in the second half pushed the Eagle lead to 3-0. Parker White finished off the scoring midway through the second half.
The Bulldogs were never able to get their offense untracked and had just four shots on goal the entire game.
Niceville coach Wes Nelson was pleased with his team's performance, but said the Eagles still have plenty of room for improvement.
"We did OK," he said. "We've been working on a lot of things. We've got a long ways to go, but I saw some good things out there tonight. This is a step in the right direction, but we aren't anywhere close to the finished product."
Nelson also said it was big for the Eagles to open district play with a win.
"We want to keep ourselves out of a hole in district," he said. "We understand it's going to be difficult and so we are happy with this one."
The Bulldogs play their home opener Tuesday at 7 p.m. The game will honor Crestview soccer player Markos Papadopoulos who died an a traffic accident in August.

Achoo! SLU Compares Virus' Effect on Sick Seniors, Healthy Adults
Saint Louis University's Center for Vaccine Development Scrutinizes Coronavirus
ST. LOUIS -- Saint Louis University's Center for Vaccine Development researchers in association with VA Medical Research are comparing how a virus that causes illnesses like the common cold, influenza and pneumonia affects older adults who have a chronic health condition and healthy young adults.
|Geoffrey Gorse, M.D.
The coronavirus causes illnesses and infections in the nose, throat and lungs and may be mild to severe. Not enough is known about the viruses, said Geoffrey Gorse, M.D., principal investigator of the comparative prospective clinical research trial.
"New coronaviruses have been found to cause illnesses such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in adults in recent years. We haven't extensively studied how many infections new coronaviruses and previously known coronaviruses cause," said Gorse, who also is a professor in the division of infectious diseases at Saint Louis University.
Researchers hope to find out when and how often during the year coronaviruses cause infection, and how serious the illnesses are. They will examine whether those with sicknesses caused by coronaviruses take more medicine and seek more medical care than those whose sicknesses are not caused by coronaviruses, Gorse added.
They will compare two groups of study volunteers - up to 500 who are at least 60 years old with known heart and/or lung disease and up to 500 who are healthy and between 18 and 40 years old.
Study participants will be seen by a medical professional for a "study visit" at the Center for Vaccine Development or the VA Medical Center any time they develop fever and any two or three symptoms of illness, such as cough, shortness of breath, phlegm, chills, headache, sore throat, runny nose, tiredness and muscle and joint aches and pains.
During the initial illness study visit, blood, nasal wash and nose and throat swab specimens will be collected. A follow up visit to the study clinic will be conducted three to five weeks after the initial illness visit. Specimens will be tested in a research lab for coronaviruses, other viruses that could cause the illness and antibodies to the viruses.
In addition, participants will share information about their use of health care resources, such as visits to a doctor and the emergency room, medicines and admissions to the hospital. The process will be repeated every time the participant develops fever and symptoms of similar illnesses during the two-year study period.
"We need to know more about the symptoms and severity of illnesses associated with coronaviruses in older patients who have chronic lung and heart disease, and whether these patients seek medical care," Gorse said.
"Patients who have heart and lung diseases possibly are at risk to become sicker from a coronavirus and these infections could make heart and lung diseases worse for a while. Our research seeks to answer important questions about infections linked to coronaviruses."
Those participating in the investigational study will be compensated for their time. The research is sponsored by VA Medical Research.
Established in 1836, the School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease, cancer and heart/lung disease. The school's department of internal medicine celebrates its centennial in 2011.
For more information about the study, contact the Saint Louis University Center for Vaccine Development at email@example.com and (314) 977-6333.

The Montgomery Village golf course officially changed hands Tuesday afternoon after the sale to a real estate developer.
Michael Darby, principal of Washington, D.C.-based Monument Realty, finalized the sale Tuesday afternoon. Monument Realty will keep the course open, but has long-term plans to transform the 147-acre space. Longtime Montgomery Village golf course owner Jack Doser has decided he will retire, instead of running the course under new ownership.
Doser — formerly a professional golfer who now lives in North Palm Beach, Fla. — once owned all or part of five courses in Maryland and in Florida. He owned the Montgomery Village course for 34 years.
He called the sale "very bittersweet."
"I was there for 34 years and my employees were my family, and my members were my friends. That's the bad news," he said. "The good news is now I'm down here in sunny Florida."
Doser called the multimillion-dollar business unprofitable at Montgomery Village Foundation meetings in 2011, The Gazette previously reported.
The golf course filed for bankruptcy protection on Aug. 17 to stop a foreclosure, according to Doser's attorney, Jim Greenan. A bankruptcy court judge ruled Dec. 20 that the course be sold, and Monument Realty was the winning bidder.
In 2012, the state determined the property was worth about $1.6 million. The price Monument Realty paid for the golf course has not been released.
Darby said his firm and the existing golf course staff will work on improving cash flow and creating a better experience for members. They will run a membership drive to bring more people to the course, and perform maintenance on the facilities. The greens will be manicured with updated equipment, he said.
Darby said much of the staff will remain the same, but more seasonal workers will be hired. Richard Rosenthal, a 24-year employee of the golf course and former head of the pro shop, will now oversee golf operations.
Rosenthal, an Olney resident, said he hopes to create "more of a family atmosphere" on the course, including continuing their junior clinics for young golfers.
Doser taught Rosenthal how to play golf when he was a child, and the two have known each other for decades.
Darby said Monument Realty wants to bring housing to the property. He envisions townhomes and multifamily residences mixed with open spaces on the current site, designed with input from nearby residents.
"We're eager to work with the community," Darby said.
Darby said his firm has met with Montgomery County and the Montgomery Village Foundation to feel out the rezoning process. It will take at least three years before the lot can be rezoned and designs can be made for the site, he said.
Veterans of the course have mixed feelings about the sale. Rosenthal said the 13th hole is his favorite — he sunk his only hole-in-one there. He hopes to play the course about twice a week, but may not be able to do that because of his new responsibilities.

The features shown from an aerial photography have confirmed the delicacy and gracefulness at the same time of the islands located between Maluku and one of the world's largest islands, Papua. Many have undoubtedly avowed that Raja Ampat is the world of its own, found nowhere else but in Indonesia. Photos by Alain Issock...

The Island of Flores
8 March 2011
Categories : Travelings - Diving and Snorkeling
A fascinating, mountainous and remarkable beautiful island, flores has a volcanic topography that has longed shaped its destiny. A chain of cones stretches the length of this verdant island, provoking a complicated relief of V-shaped valeys and knife-edge ridges-terrain that was near- impenatrable until recent years and that has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups. Flores is Portuguese for "flowers", located in east of Sumbawa and Komodo and in...

|March 2013 is National Social Work Month
All Children's Hospital joins the National Association of Social Workers in celebrating National Social Work Month 2013. We salute our dedicated medical social workers for the service they provide to our patients and families.
Throughout the year, our social workers offer counseling, support and access community resources to help families make positive changes regarding their child's illness. As a part of the interdisciplinary team, social workers also help the medical team to understand the patient and family dynamics within the context of the family's social situation and to view the issues from all sides in order to develop a plan of care that will help patients and families to be as successful as possible once their child goes home.
This year's national theme is "Weaving Threads of Resilience and Advocacy: The Power of Social Work." Social workers are society's safety net, promoting positive social change. The social work profession was established more than 100 years ago to teach people the skills and give them the support they need to overcome social issues such as poverty, addiction, illness, abuse and discrimination and to reach their full potential as individuals.
Join us as we say thanks to these caring professionals who positively change kids' futures every day.

Great catchers mitt.
Date : October 28, 2013
"There is great padding in this glove. My son is in high school and catchers some mid-to-high 80s pitchers. This is the first glove he's had that hasn't left him with a bruised thumb. I'm not sure if the same type of passing is in all Rawlings catchers mitts, but it should be. I did have to re-lace the pocket after about two years."

Dual Core Catchers Glove
Date : March 29, 2013
"I was looking for a new catchers glove that would last me a few years and always having a Rawlings lead me too look at them again after ruling out All-Star brand. I found this one and got it one the spot once it came in the mail i took it out and it was very stiff i could barley squeeze it together but after a few coats of oil and putting in under my bed and using it in practice for 3 weeks its about game ready to use! this is by far one of the best catchers mitts i have had yet! i love it! it has a nice crack to it when a ball hits it right! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good glove that isnt wanting to use a whole pay check to buy it!"

Pro cm33dcc catchers mitt
Date : January 16, 2012
"We love the PROCM33DCC catchers mitt for all the above mentioned(ratings). Great mitt !!!! A gentlemen (manager, sorry for not remembering his name) was great in helping us select the correct mitt for my son, Thank you for the time & effort. Also, I have a request. I had purchased a REVO SOLID CORE 750 SERIES baseball glove for my son last year & the glove came with a glove bag, would there be a chance that we can have you send us a PROCM33DCC bag. We use the REVO glove bag all the time for transport/storage, and would do the same with the catchers mitt bag. If you have any Rawlings stickers you could send, we have a baseball bucket for batting practice we decorate . Could you let me know thru an E-mail your decision. Thank you again."

Very fine catcher's mitt
Date : November 08, 2011
"I spent a lot of time researching the different mitts available; this included chatting with the catchers of the local AAA team, players on the college team, a former MLB catcher, and a fraternity brother who owns a sports equiptment store. They all guided me to Rawlings. I chose this glove because of its fit on my hand,the feel of the leather, price, and I liked the idea of the dual core system. Despite all the research, a purchase is a bit of a gamble that the product will satisfy me the way it may have done for everyone else. This mitt though worked out great. It broke in very quickly, and formed just the way I prefer. It fits my hand like a second layer of skin, it's easy to maneuver, and especially important is that it does seems to cushion my hand from the faster pitches. I use the mitt to train with my 11 year old son and as a manager of an adult baseball team (NABA). Several of my pitchers can throw some heat, and this mitt receives those pitches very comfortably."

Best Mitt I've Ever Used. PERIOD.
Date : October 11, 2011
"This was my first Rawlings glove, and I can assure you, I'll never use another brand. Rawlings is the far superior brand above all others. Now, for this glove specifically, it is most definitely the best mitt I've ever used. I'm a college catcher, and I absolutely love this mitt.The Poron XRD padding is unlike anything I've ever used before; catching a 90 mph fastball feels like nothing with this glove. The 33" pattern of the glove is the perfect size. It's large enough to maneuver across every corner of the plate and small enough to scoop even the shortest of short-hops. The glove surprisingly took less time to break in than I expected. After several bullpen sessions and long-tossing, it was game ready. This is the first glove I've ever used that I'm 100% confident it increased my performance behind the dish. Plus, the pure aesthetics of this mitt are beautiful. The Camel-colored rawhide laces and the black tanned Heart of the Hide leather combine into a mitt that truly is a testament to wonderful craftsmanship by Rawlings. The weight of this mitt is lighter than any I have ever used, as there is no wasted space. The mitt has been very durable, and I'm sure it will continue. To say this mitt is a value for the price is a huge understatement. Not only has it met my expectations, it has far and above surpassed them. If you are a serious catcher looking to get the most out of your ability, you NEED the Rawlings PROCM33DCC."

The Town of Moncks Corner has a house it wants to give away.
All you have to do is figure out a way to move it.
The Town recently purchased the properties located at 105 White Street and the adjacent lot on the corner of White and Heatley Streets. The two-story house is located on this property, and the town, rather than have it torn down, wants to sell the house for nothing and have it moved.
While the house is in need of restoration and renovation, Public Services Director Butch Svagerko said the building is structurally sound.
The floors are in decent shape and are the old style type of hardwood flooring and the structural integrity of the house is in decent shape.
Svagerko said a number of World War II and Korean War era newspapers and magazines were still in remarkably good shape.
The pages were yellowed but they were all dry, which should tell you the roof doesnt leak, he said.
The intent of the purchase is to increase the towns green space while providing much needed parking for the downtown area. With this in mind, the house will need to be removed, Svagerko said. The Town is currently listing the house for removal at no cost to any qualified party interested.
Details for qualifications regarding this transaction will be listed on www.Govdeals.com starting May 5 for a six week period.

For some reason, Google added a YouTube contact group to many Gmail accounts. I currently have 82 contacts in the YouTube group and they have only one thing in common: they sent me or I sent them an email in 2006, 2007 or 2008. They don't have anything to do with YouTube and some of the email addresses couldn't be used to create Google accounts (for example, the Writely email address for importing documents).
The YouTube group can be renamed or deleted, but it's strange that it was automatically created. Gmail has some system groups for Google Latitude, Google Talk, Google Buzz, but they're hidden and can't be removed.
Do you see the YouTube group in your Gmail account?

The Chicago Wolves announced Monday they have named five-time league champion and Wolves all-time winningest head coach JOHN ANDERSON as the team's new bench boss.
The Wolves will host a press conference to introduce JOHN ANDERSON at 11 a.m. at Harry Caray's Restaurant, 33 W. Kinzie in Chicago, on Tuesday, July 16. The team will also livestream the press conference on youtube.com/chicagowolveshockey.
ANDERSON returns to the Wolves with four years of National Hockey League experience, which includes two years as head coach of the Atlanta Thrashers from 2008-10. He most recently served as an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes from 2011-13.
"Johnny's record speaks for itself. Six Finals appearances in 11 years in a pretty good success rate," said Wolves general manager WENDELL YOUNG. "The Wolves have not had the type of success we have grown accustomed to since he left. We didn't realize that so much of our winning tradition was based around Johnny."
The 56-year-old ANDERSON captured four league titles in 11 years as the bench boss of the Wolves, which included the 2002 and 2008 Calder Cup Championships. He also guided Chicago to the International Hockey League's Turner Cup in 1998 and 2000. The Toronto native returns as the winningest coach in Wolves history, after amassing 506 victories in 808 regular-season contests and 105 postseason wins during his first stint with the franchise from 1997-2008.
ANDERSON racked up a 506-283-24-28-47 (.688) regular-season record and led Chicago to 10 postseason berths in his 11 seasons behind the bench. Under his leadership, the Wolves established numerous team records, including 55 wins (1997-98), 114 points (1999-2000), 331 goals (2006-07), and 112 power-play goals (2006-07). The year before he joined the Wolves, he captured the 1997 Colonial Cup as head coach of the Quad City Mallards of the Colonial Hockey League.
The Toronto Maple Leafs first pick (11th overall) in the 1977 amateur draft, ANDERSON played 12 seasons in the NHL with the Maple Leafs (1977-85), Quebec Nordiques (1985-86), and Hartford Whalers (1986-89). He collected 282 goals, 349 assists, and 631 points in 814 career NHL games.
DAVE ALLISON and SCOTT ALLEN will join ANDERSON's staff as assistant coaches. ALLISON served as the Peoria Rivermen's head coach last year, while ALLEN was his lone assistant.

Darcy is pregnant with Marcus' baby and although she can't get over the betrayal by Rachel and Dex, she forges ahead with plans to marry Marcus who has, somewhat reluctantly, stepped up to the plate. But Marcus is no Dex and even Darcy can't change who he is. Though Darcy seems to know that in her heart that Marcus is not the one for her, it shocks her when he tells her that he doesn't want to marry her and that he doesn't want to be a father. Truly on her own (her mother having written her off for the audacity of getting pregnant), Darcy makes the decision to move to London and stay with Ethan, a mutual friend of her and Rachel's from elementary school.

Halloween tropes make sports scaryWritten by Matt 'Shaggy' Culbreath | | email@example.com
"Why are chain saws so ubiquitous in horror movies?"
It was about the third inning when I gave up on Game 1 of the World Series. The Boston Red Sox had already opened up a 5-0 lead over St. Louis by that point (would have been 8-0, if it weren't for Carlos Beltran robbing a grand slam away from Big Papi), so instead of subjecting myself to two of the most insufferable teams in baseball, I instead flipped on an old classic horror film to watch while I folded laundry: "Evil Dead 2." I really wanted to watch "Army of Darkness," but that was all .. the … way … over .. in … the … DVD … cabinet … and it wasn't on Netflix. "Evil Dead 2," however, was. So I watched Bruce Campbell stumble around in a haunted cabin for an hour and a half. (For the record, the ballgame didn't finish until 11:30 that night, so I made the correct call.)
The infamous chain saw in Evil Dead 2 is nothing new to horror films, in fact, it rebooted the whole idea from back when "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was released in 1974. Loud, graphic and an efficient killer, the chain saw single-handedly invented the slasher film by overloading the senses and making every toolshed in America a nightmare waiting to happen.
And, because my mind wanders to these types of things while I fold laundry, I considered those terms "loud, graphic and efficient" in regards to the NFL. Which team is the chain saw of the league? For that matter, who's the hatchet, or the zombie, or any number of tropes in the ephemera of horror movies? Since it's Halloween, let's run through them all.
Starting with our original question: Who is the chain saw of the NFL? Clearly, the Denver Broncos. They're loud, they're gory, they show no mercy. They've scored 298 points this year, far and away the highest total in the league. Yeah, Indianapolis managed to get in their way last week, but every good horror villain gets killed off once, right?
Locally, the Cleveland Browns have got to be the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, because their offense keeps losing its head. It was going to be Trent Richardson, but he got traded away. It was going to be Brian Hoyer, but he tore his ACL. They were willing to give Brandon Weeden another go, but he's straight garbage. Now it's the Night of the Living Backup, Jason Campbell, who was already leapfrogged once for the starter spot, and has already been with four teams in his short career.
The Detroit Lions are akin to a favorite tool of the horror hero: the sawed-off shotgun. Deadly, but inaccurate, and likely to shoot your own foot. Yes, when Matthew Stafford hits Calvin Johnson for a touchdown pass, it's awesome. It's primal.
Megatron making that catch in triple-coverage last week in Cincinnati? That'll be in someone's nightmares for years. But four dropped passes by Reggie Bush? Three by the now-released Tony Scheffler? Two by Brandon Pettigrew? Stafford's QB rating has been pretty decent this year, but the rest of the team has got to step up.
Let's get this out of the way: Both Jacksonville and Tampa Bay are the two kids who go into the abandoned cabin/toolshed/outhouse to make out before being brutally torn asunder. You know, running off right after they read from a dark, mysterious book written in a long-dead language. Ugh, those kids are the worst.
The "Cat That Jumps Out At The Hero Just To Scare Him (Before the Actually Scary Thing Happens)" is the New York Giants. Not that the Giants were expected to make a whole lot of noise this year, but it's been a Dumpster fire for the Blue Man Group this season. I know they managed to finally get a win on Oct. 21, but when your only win is against a one win Minnesota Vikings squad, you've got problems. (Minnesota, for the record, is Freddy Kruger. Really scary a while back, but really a one-trick pony that everyone figured out.)
And the murderer that you never expected? Apparently that's Kansas City. Still unbeaten, but look at who they've beaten: only one team that has a winning record this far into the year. Kansas City is tearing through the kids at Camp Crystal Lake right now, but wait until after the bye week, when they face Leatherface twice, not to mention two games against the San Diego Chargers (who I'll call the Evil Dead of the NFL, having found new life after their initial run) and a game against Indianapolis as well. It's possible that the Chiefs won't even make the playoffs, just as it was possible to make a scary movie without Jason.

HOUSTON---Right winger Mark Mancari registered his 152nd career American Hockey League goal in vain as Houston earned a 4-1 victory over the Wolves on Sunday night at Toyota Center.
Mancari, a 2011 First Team AHL All-Star, carved into Houston's 3-0 lead at the 4:13 mark of the third when he lifted his stick waist-high to tap in a rebound. Kevin Doell and Adam Polasek received assists on the play.
Playing just 19 hours after wrapping up a shootout loss at San Antonio, the Wolves (0-1-0-1) struggled to generate scoring chances in the first two periods against a Houston squad revved-up for its 2011-12 opener.
The Wolves finished with 25 shots against Aeros goaltender Matt Hackett (1-0), but 12 of those came in the third period after Houston built a 3-0 lead.
Center Casey Wellman scored the game's first 2 goals for Houston. Kris Foucault and Jeff Taffe added 2 assists apiece for the Aeros (1-0-0-0).
Wellman opened the scoring early in the second period. With Houston enjoying a 4-on-3 advantage, he camped out in front of Wolves goaltender Matt Climie and redirected a Taffe shot at the 2:06 mark. The goal snapped the Wolves streak of seven consecutive penalty kills to start the season.
Less than four minutes later, the Wolves enjoyed a 3-on-2 breakout but an errant pass off a skate led to a 2-on-1 rush by the Aeros. Carson McMillan's shot went wide left, but took an unlikely bounce to the right side of the net where Wellman tapped in the rebound.
Houston posted its third goal of the period when nifty passes by Foucault and Warren Peters set up Jed Ortmeyer for a close-range blast past Climie (0-1).
The Wolves played with more energy at the offensive end in the third and Mancari's first goal with the team provided an additional jolt, but Jon DiSalvatore's power-play goal on a redirect at the 11:39 mark blunted the visitors' momentum.
The Wolves return to action Friday night at Milwaukee. The Wolves host their 18th home opener, presented by LifeSource, at 7 p.m. Saturday against Milwaukee at Allstate Arena. For tickets, go to chicagowolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

Another year has come and gone
2012 was a big year for Rutherford County sports. A girl's soccer team played for a state title, county high school softballs teams squared off for conference bragging rights, school records were broken and a once-forgotten football program became relevant.
Now is the time to recap this calendar year's biggest stories (in no particular order) and reminisce about the year that was.
Thomas Jefferson football starts 2012 6-0 behind Mac Martin and Co.
After recoding just one win in their short history, The Thomas Jefferson Gryphons football program racked up a perfect 6-0 record to start the 2012 season.
The 6-0 start helped the Gryphons earn their first ever playoff berth with a first-round home game.
Martin finished a spectacular season with over 1,000 yards passing and rushing with 19 total touchdowns to go along with seven interceptions on the defensive side of the ball. Will McCraw and Efrim Borders teamed up with Martin to help lead the Gyphons.
TJCA lost their final seven games but instilled unmeasurable excitement for the future.
"A lot of folks here at TJCA will be satisfied that we won a few games this year. I am not," head coach Cash said. "I want to win conference championships and playoff games. This team accomplished some great things and I am proud of them, but it is only the first step. Building a football team is more than a one year deal. It is a process. This year's team did a great job in laying a solid foundation. Now we just have to build on it."
Shannon Hines sets all-time scoring record
The scoreboard read 7:41 remaining in the fourth quarter. That's when R-S Central senior Shannon Hines set Rutherford County history.
A 12-foot baseline jumper, the first basket in the fourth quarter, put the Lady Hilltoppers in front of Patton 44-38 on Feb.1.
Hines , who finished with 25 points, moved to the top of the R-S Central AND county scoring list.
Her early fourth-quarter basket gave her 22 and allowed her to pass R-S graduate Frances Hernandez, who had held the mark at 1, 975 points since 2007.
"It means a lot to get this record," Hines said. "A lot of people will look at it and say it was something I did.
"But a lot of people have worked with me, pushed me and I owe each of them gratitude. It took a lot of hard work and tons of support from my coaches, teammates, family and friends." Moments after Hines set the record, Hernandez congratulated her at midcourt.
Lady Gryphons play for stat soccer title
The Lady Gryphons' Anna Dedmon, a junior, received the highest honor of any TJCA student-athlete when she was selected as the 2012 Player of the Year in Girl's Soccer .
Dedmon, who has over 100 career goals, helped lead the Lady Griffs to the 1A State Championship game.
In addition to Dedmon, the Lady Gryphons' Victoria Bennett, Courtney Flack and Eleora Albala were chosen as All-Conference players.
The Thomas Jefferson Lady Gryphons won almost every statistical category as they out-shot Southwest Onslow, 7-4, and earned three more corner kicks than the Lady Stallions.
But the only stat that mattered in the 1A State Championship Friday, May 26 was goals and Southwest Onslow scored a pair in the first half to top Thomas Jefferson, 2-0.
"I think we were a little in awe of the big stage," said Coach Brian Espinoza. "We were nervous and did not star t playing soccer until the last five minutes. That is completely understandable though. Right now, the team is disappointed - but they are hungry to get back here next year."
Before Espinoza starts focusing on 2013, however, he took some time to put TJCA's historic 2012 season in perspective.
"It has been a special season and a special team", he said. "They have accomplished so much this season. I am so proud of them and they should be proud of themselves. It been a great year that I won't ever forget.
Cavaliers make it to semifinals
East Rutherford basketball beat Shelby twice during the regular season but couldn't defeat the Golden Lions in the Western Regional semifinals losing 45-40 on Thursday, Mar. 2. in Greensboro.
The Cavaliers shot just 4-of-25 from 3-point range and were out-rebounded by the Golden Lions 41-34.
"We just allowed them to get the rim more than they should have," said East head coach Brad Levine after the loss.
The loss capped a 25-5 season for the Cavaliers led by Devonte Boykins.
Trojans and Cavs battle for SMAC softball title
In a neutral site game to determine the SMAC's top seed, conference co-champions Chase and East Rutherford locked horns for the third time in the 2012 season.
When the dust settled, it was the Lady Trojans who captured a 9-2 win and the top conference seed in the upcoming softball playoffs.
"This game was good practice to get ready for the playoffs," said Chase coach Daniel Bailey.
Chase put four more runs on the board in the third when three consecutive batters smacked doubles to start the frame. By the time White's two base hit rattled the fence, the Lady Trojans had grabbed a 5-1 lead. Two ground balls to the right side brought home White as Chase led 6-1.
The Lady Trojans added two more runs in the four th as Ashley Brown and Gowan doubled with one out. One batter later, Kaitlyn Smart yanked yet another double down the third base line as Gowan scored, making the tally 8-1.
Chase added another run in the fifth as Jessie Alexander walked, stole second and moved third on a wild pitch. Cavs pitcher, Klinnin Carson uncorked another wild pitch as the Trojans expanded their lead to 9-1.
East got one run back in the sixth as Gray reached on a walk. She was singled home later in the inning by Smith to account for the 9-2 final as the skies opened and the game was called off after 6.1 innings.
Owls host Military All-Stars
In a rain-shortened affair, the Forest City Owls hosted the U.S. Military All-Stars on their country-wide tour on June 22 at McNair Stadium.
"These are some of the best ball players in the country who turned down the money and the fame and decided to serve their country," said Jeremy Boler, Owls ' general manager. "It shows that there are definitely those who will take up the call for that." In addition to a baseball game, the All-Stars will also bring the flag hung at the World Trade Center site after 9-11.
Prior to the game against the U.S. Military All-Stars, a moving celebration included a presentation of the Ground Zero flag and a first pitch by Chase alum and former Marine, Brian Ebert.
Little Leaguers win state title
The Forest City Junior All-Stars Softball team captured the state title with a win over Jackson County, 10-4, in Morganton Tuesday, July 19.
The Junior team is the first team to represent District 1 with team members from four different area little leagues. Players from Boiling Springs, Chase, Forest City and Rutherfordton make up the team.
In the title game, Jenna Carter struck out 10 in the win. The team followed the state title with a trip to Florida to play in the regional tournament.

The story was first told to me late last year, and like a lot of stories of financial impropriety inside a huge company, it was almost impossible to nail down. Hewlett-Packard's Autonomy division, my source told me, was vaporware writ large: An $11 billion software company with an overhyped flagship product that was literally being given away because customers didn't have a use for it.
Today, Meg Whitman admitted as much. H-P announced it was writing off 80% of the purchase price for Autonomy and accused "some former members of Autonomy's management team" of using "accounting improprieties, misrepresentations and disclosure failures" to hide the software company's true performance and value.
In the release, H-P identified one of the oldest accounting tricks in the book, a variation on the one "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap used to accelerate revenue at Sunbeam — by getting customers to "buy" products now, under terms that really just borrowed from the future.
I spoke to my source again this morning and he detailed what he saw at H-P, from his position deep within the 300,000-employee company.
"What I saw was exactly what Meg Whitman wrote in her internal memo to employees," my source said. "There was really sketchy accounting going on."
Autonomy was founded as Cambridge Neurodynamics in 1991 by Michael Lynch, a Cambridge-educated computer scientist, according to this flattering profile by the Guardian after he left H-P in May. The company was based on the then-hot concept of Bayesian search, named after 18th-century mathematician Thomas Bayes, and ultimately developed an all-encompassing software package it called IDOL — Intelligent Data Operating Layer.
H-P today said it stands behind IDOL and well it should. Otherwise it would have to write off the entire $11 billion it paid for Autonomy last year. But my source doesn't think much of the product, which is supposed to find all of a company's data, wherever it resides, and whether or not it can be identified by specific words. (Typical example: Finding documents that contain the phrase "flightless bird" when you're looking for "penguin.")
"It's the primary smoke and mirrors that Autonomy has used to make people think they've got something very impressive," he told me. "It's a fancy search engine."
I attempted to reach Lynch this morning, unsuccessfully. His spokeswoman told Reuters he is still reviewing H-P's allegations. H-P said it has referred the information it uncovered in a forensic accounting to fraud officials in the U.S. and the U.K.
Here's what my source observed personally. Autonomy grew through acquisitions, buying everything from storage companies like Iron Mountain to enterprise software firms like Interwoven. They'd then go to customers and offer them a deal they couldn't refuse. Say a customer had $5 million and four years left on a data-storage contract, or "disk," in the trade. Autonomy would offer them, say, the same amount of storage for $4 million but structure it as a $3 million purchase of IDOL software, paid for up front, and $1 million worth of disk. The software sales dropped to the bottom line and burnished Autonomy's reputation for being a fast-growing, cutting-edge software company a la Oracle, while the revenue actually came from the low-margin, commodity storage business.
"They would basically give them software for free but shift the costs around to make it look like they got $3 million in software sales," said my source, who directly observed such deals.
Lynch's management team also was practiced at the art of wringing attractive-looking growth out of a string of ho-hum acquisitions. The typical strategy was to bolt IDOL and other software onto a company's existing products and try and convince customers to pay more for the "new" products. If that failed, they'd milk the existing customer base by halting development and outsourcing support, my source says, using the cash from the runoff business to fund more acquisitions.
"Mike Lynch was famous for saying Autonomy never put an end of life on any product," said my source. "But the customers were screaming."
Now, my source has never been a Mike Lynch fan. In sales meetings, he says, Lynch "loved to do vague and theoretical academic-type presentations to show what a visionary he was."
And Autonomy may have some powerful features my source didn't appreciate. The Defense Department reportedly is a customer. But from his perch within the company, it looked like a lot of vaporware wrapped up in fancy Cambridge talk and the kind of accounting tricks managers have engaged in since the dawn of publicly traded stock.
With its announcement today, H-P seems to agree. The company accused former managers of "a willful effort" "to inflate the underlying financial metrics of the company in order to mislead investors and potential buyers. These misrepresentations and lack of disclosure severely impacted HP management's ability to fairly value Autonomy at the time of the deal."
Calling customers wouldn't necessarily have uncovered the problem, my source says.
"I think these companies are embarrassed to admit they spent $10 million on software that doesn't actually work," he said.
