The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board awarded KidsPeace a grant to produce a section for both TeenCentral.Net and ParentCentral.Net on Underage Drinking Awareness.
We have completed these sections and they are filled with very important information. Teens can benefit from this interactive section and can learn about the dangers of drinking and even why it is best to avoid it. Most people don't even realize when they have a problem and this complicates their situation because unless they realize there is a problem, they can't take steps to correct it. When teens go partying and overindulge, they often lose their ability to make good decisions. They can get into fights, end up with alcohol poisoning and even drive while under the influence. Any one of these can, at best, complicate their lives. At worst, it can take their lives.
Now, this is not meant to scare our teens or their parents, it is simply stating the facts. Both teens and parents have to learn as much as they can so that one or the other can make the best choices. Teens can learn why they should avoid drinking and parents can help the teens if and when they start to show signs of a problem. Recognizing a problem early is key to avoiding major issues later. Parents can learn how to deal with a son or daughter who is experimenting or even involved with alcohol and how to get them help. While this may appear to be overkill, any time you deal with something that can potentially cause harm to a loved one or they can be responsible for hurting someone else, you can never do too much.
TeenCentral.Net is here for your teens and now, through ParentCentral.Net, we are here for parents. Together we can make some great changes and help our teens grow to their fullest potential. Log on -- work it out.

OK, I am back to the subject of "squeeze pouch foods" or as another cute 2 1/2 year old called it "squeegy fruit". I have written about this before as I was fascinated by these when they first hit the market. On the one hand, I get that they are convenient and are easy to use for those first months of pureed baby foods, but beyond that, I think they are given to older children.
It seems that more and more kids are enjoying "squeegy fruit" and also "slurping" pureed vegetables. The issue is these pouches foods are being "masqueraded" as healthy foods. Yes, they are fruits and vegetables often mixed together, but if you read the labels it gets a bit more complicated.
I see so many toddlers in my office who are happily "sucking down" a packet of apples and blueberries. These parents are adamant that their kids don't drink juice boxes or eat "junk food" but at the same time they are letting their children "suck down" several of these pouches a day. This is also often in place of meals, as many of these children are described as "picky eaters". I saw a little boy today who had been vomiting, but was on the exam table with pouch to mouth as he "drank/ate" a combo of apples, peas and something else. (note: not recommended when vomiting).
So....I decided to look up the nutritional value of these pouches....many of them although "all organic" or described as "healthy" do contain a lot of carbohydrate and sugars. Actually, as much as two fruit roll ups! Yes, I did a little comparison and 2 of the "dreaded" fruit rolls ups contain 23 grams of carbs and almost 11 grams of sugar.....while a 3.2 ounce pouch has somewhere between 19-24 grams of carbs and between 14-23 grams of sugar.
The point of this is not to say that "squeeze pouches" are bad, or that a child should never have a fruit roll up. Rather, it is to point out that even "healthy" snacks can be full of sugar. Rather than a fruit roll up or a squeeze pouch, what about a piece of fruit? Sure, it may be a bit messier to cut up a piece of fruit, but those pouches are not teaching children about textures and chewing.
Pouches are great for travel, special occasions and babies. But, they are not for toddlers and certainly not for everyday consumption. Oh lastly, they are bad for the teeth as well!

It is recommended that you DOWNLOAD information from Scoutnet. Only if you have proof that ALL adults on the printed roster have current youth protection training and your unit software has the exact matching names as printed unit roster for all current members then UPLOAD the roster. This is the ONLY time it might be advantageous to upload.
When you think you are complete, print out a draft copy to review with the Committee Chair and Unit Leader. The key points you are looking for are:o Correct adults in key leadership positionso All youth that are part of the unit are on the roster and those not returning are removed.
Sign back into My Scouting, go to Internet Charter Renewal, and log in as a returning user.
Make the changes that were requested by Committee Chair and Unit Leader. When you have completed the process – "SUBMIT" the charter. This locks in the names and roles.

Komperdell Carbon Ascent Trekking Poles
I've been really impressed with my new trekking poles. They fold down to fit into my rucksac out flight bag and are so light I barely notice I'm carrying them. The locking mechanism is very quick and easy and would be manageable with gloves on, a bonus in cold weather. The straps and grips are comfortable to use and the tip gross well, leaving me feeling secure on rough ground. My only regret is the fact that, although I'm not a particularly short female at around 5' 4", the minimum length is… Full review
Pacerpole 3-Section Alloy
Excellent trekking poles that have helped reduce stress on knees and wrists, encouraged proper posture, better breathing and efficient movement. Pacerpoles have become a key component in my everyday hiking gear. I highly recommend these poles for hikers and backpackers. I have been using Pacerpoles almost daily since I purchased them 4 months ago, hiking with and without a backpack and on a variety of terrain. Most hikes are between 3-10 miles long over a combination of packed dirt, rocks and at… Full review
Black Diamond Spire
Literally saved my life, but that's not why they're getting 4.5 stars. *Not the lightest can actually be a "Pro" as well as a "Con," as those extra few ounces translate directly into lateral strength...read on. In my opinion, it's a shame that Black Diamond is no longer producing the Spire. If you're looking for a pole to have in your hand so you look like the rest of the "well dressed sheep" on the trails, this one might not be for you...you're looking for the thinnest, lightest pole you can find. Full review
Leki Tour Stick Trigger S
I must say, it would never occur to me to spend $200 for a pair of poles...but I will certainly accept them as a contest prize, and will put them to good use. These poles have been described as "the ultimate for 4-season use," but are also advertised as ski poles. I have used them for snowshoeing and micro-spike winter hiking, and they are certainly an upgrade over my basic snowshoe poles. These poles are way more pole than I would ever need, but I have come to really like them...and my husband… Full review
Grivel 3.16 Poles
These poles are not reliable: the lower locking mechanism can fail under intensive use and can be dangerous. The lower baskets are easily lost, which is very problematic on snow trips. They look nice, have comfy grips, and the design is innovative, but reliability is key for such a product therefore I would not recommend these for anyone. I have been using these poles for a while in light use. I chose them because Grivel has a good reputation with reliable serious mountain products. I was shocked… Full review
Black Diamond Syncline
Perfectly fine — cheap, light, strong, simple. I own / used both of Black Diamond's (orange) Syncline and (red) Trail Back for ultra-lightweight backpacking, with my son and I each carrying one pole and using both for shelter. Actual weight w/o baskets of Syncline is 270 grams (9.5 oz) and Trail Back 290 grams (10.25 oz). Both handle miles and hands well, but both of ours are pretty soft (we're in Ohio after all). Given the price is often almost the same on these few-years-old-model poles,… Full review
Black Diamond Syncline
These are lightweight, strong trekking poles that won't collapse regardless of how much weight is put on them. The straps and handgrips are very comfortable for snowshoeing. I bought my Black Diamond Syncline trekking poles for snowshoeing, and they're excellent for that purpose. The straps are comfortable and don't chafe when I use them without gloves, and the grips have enough of a lip on them for pulling up my heel lifts. The included snow baskets keep the poles from sinking too far in snow,… Full review
Black Diamond Ultra Distance
Very, very, very light — and compact poles. Require bit more care. The last three years I have used and abused three section Leki poles once or twice a week in the local mountains. As I do more scrambling and running now I decided to check out the Black Diamond Ultra Distance Z-Poles, and.. kind of fell in love. Features: The Ultra Distance poles are made of carbon shafts, and all the rest is paired down to a minimum to create the lightest pole possible. Light straps and small basket at the… Full review
Leki Makalu Ultralite
Superbly built poles allow confident use in a variety of conditions--creek crossings, uphills, downhills, as shelter supports, etc. Leki Speedlocks work great, allowing for swift adjustment with no worries about the locks giving way. There are lighter poles out there, but these are solid, reliable, and a pleasure to use. This may be an old school review. You see, years ago Leki made the Makalu. I've had these poles for quite some time. A lot of miles in sun and rain and snow. My Leki Makalu Ultralite… Full review

Autonomic Dysfunction FAQ
Please add, edit, update, or modify as needed. This is a work in progress.
← Back to Dysautonomia & Autonomic Dysfunction Index Page
1. What is the autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the regulatory part of the central nervous system (CNS). The ANS regulates the automatic functions within the body that occur without concious effort. For example: heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, digestion, etc.
2. What is autonomic dysfunction?
Autonomic dysfunction, (also called dysautonomia), is a chronic illness that causes a dysregulation of ANS functions. It can be a symptom of another illness, or an illness in itself.
3. What are some examples of specific dysautonomias?
Two of the most commonly occurring forms of Dysautonomia are Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Neurally Mediated Hypotention (NMH). Infrequent episodes of Vasovagal Syncope are also common in adolescents. These patients may later outgrow the condition, or develop Neurally Mediated Syncope. A couple of other examples of Dysautonomia include:
4. What is a Vasovagal Reflex?
In order for you to stay concious, the ANS must keep the heart pumping oxygenated blood to your brain. A Vasovagal Reflex is the result of an exagerated responce by the ANS. This can result in nausea, or fainting. Fainting is not all that uncommon, and Vasovagal Reflex Syncope is the most common cause. Some individuals may only faint once in their lifetime, but others have repeated symptoms. Those with repeated symptoms are often diagnosed as having dysautonomia.
5. What are some of the more common symptoms of an autonomic dysfunction?
Some of the more common symptoms include:
Not every form of dysautonomia causes every symptom, nor does every patient experience the same group of symptoms. Some patients experience many, while others experience very few.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Drew Stubbs had three hits, drove in three runs and stole two bases as the Cincinnati Reds jumped on the Chicago Cubs early and held on for a 9-4 victory in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.
Homer Bailey (1-2) picked up his first win after allowing four runs -- one earned -- on five hits.
Jay Bruce added two hits and two runs scored for Cincinnati, which earned its 10,000th win in franchise history, joining the Cubs, Giants, Dodgers, Braves and Cardinals as the only other clubs to accomplish the feat.
"That's a lot of wins," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "...That means we've been around for a long time and have done a lot of winning."
The Reds have won two straight since dropping five of their last six.
Chris Volstad (0-2) gave up six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits and two walks for the Cubs, losers of six consecutive contests.
The Reds jumped on Volstad immediately, plating four runs in the top of the first as they batted around for the first time this season. Stubbs reached with a one-out single, stole second and then moved to third when Starlin Castro couldn't field Geovany Soto's throw to second. Joey Votto then singled through the hole on the right side to bring home Stubbs.
Runners were on the corners following Bruce's base hit to right field, and Scott Rolen walked to load the bases. Chris Heisey plated Votto and Bruce with a single up the middle. Rolen then scored on Willie Harris' RBI groundout.
"It put me in a huge hole, it put our team in a big hole to start the game," Volstad said of his struggles in the opening frame.
The Cubs got on the board in the home third with two runs. David DeJesus scored when Heisey dropped Castro's flyball along the warning track in left- center field. Castro came home on Bryan LaHair's single to make it 4-2.
But the Reds answered with two runs in the visitor's fourth on Stubbs' two-run slicing double to right field, which brought home Devin Mesoraco and Zack Cozart.
After Barney grounded out to third, plating Blake DeWitt in the home fifth, Bailey registered an RBI groundout in the top of the sixth to bring home Harris, making it a 7-3 game.
Alfonso Soriano's RBI groundout to shortstop scored LaHair in the home sixth, cutting the Cubs' deficit to 7-4.
Stubbs added an RBI single in the eighth and Todd Frazier tripled to deep center field in the ninth to plate Bruce and account for the final margin.
It's the Cubs first six-game losing streak since an eight-game stretch from May 30-June 7 of last season...Volstad is 0-6 over his last 13 starts and is one of two pitchers -- Minnesota's Nick Blackburn -- with no wins in at least 10 starts since last year's All-Star break...Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday because of right shoulder fatigue.

Franz's 2012 NFL Power Poll - Week 13
1) HOUSTON TEXANS: Cushing's already out for the year and now the LBs lose Ruud for 4 weeks...still weird -- Houston hasn't played Andrew Luck and won't for another three weeks.
2) NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Amazingly converting 53% of 3rd down attempts (yea, that's number one)...the only team to hold them to under 23 points is the Cardinals.
3) ATLANTA FALCONS: Second on third down at 48%...short week hosting the Saints on Thursday.
4) SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: Lost Williams and Hunter for the season...will take a four-game winning streak into New England.
5) DENVER BRONCOS: Manning is third in passer rating at 104...fourth-best offense and fourth-best defense almost equals fourth-best team.
6) BALTIMORE RAVENS: The only other time I saw a fourth & 29 converted, Michael Bishop of K-State did it to my Bobcats...not going to cost you the Super Bowl but allowing 50% of fourth downs to be converted is a little high.
7) CHICAGO BEARS: Lost a starting guard for the season (Louis), their best RB has a bum ankle (Forte) and the second-best defensive player in the league this year has a chipped bone in his foot (Tillman).
8) NEW YORK GIANTS: New York has a chance on MNF at Washington to end Redskins' hopes or completely complicate the NFC East...1-0 to start a vicious stretch to end the season.
9) INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: Amazingly enough, it looks like this is a 10-win team...the -14 turnover ratio is awful but will improve as the young team matures -- meaning they'll get better.
10) GREEN BAY PACKERS: I rarely care about time of possession, but the fact that TOP is split 30/30 is weird...still has four division games left out of the five remaining.
11) SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Everyone loves to talk about Russell Wilson but no one mentions he leads the second-worst offense...season hangs on the appeals of starting CBs Browner and Sherman.
12) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Not ready to recant that the hiring of Schiano was a bad one, but it doesn't look good for me...Martin with 1,000 yards rushing as a rookie with five games remaining and is fourth in rushing overall.
13) PITTSBURGH STEELERS: I wanted the Cards to draft DeCastro and he's finally healthy, let the mauling begin...I love Todd Haley but he had his worst day as an OC Sunday.
14) CINCINNATI BENGALS: Up and down year but starting to show signs of consistency...don't be shocked at a strong finish to a 10-6 record and a playoff bid when it's over.
15) WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Along with 49ers, only teams averaging over 160 yards rushing/game...who guessed Alfred Morris would be the fifth-best RB in the NFL?
16) MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Christian Ponder has been sacked 27 times, same as Kevin Kolb...20 plays run on third down Sunday and seven of them were third and three or less, Peterson got the ball on one of the 20.
17) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Worst defense in the NFL allowing an unbelievable 156 yards rushing/game.
18) MIAMI DOLPHINS: Will finish poorly, but 7-9 with a new coach, new OC and new QB isn't a bad year.
19) DALLAS COWBOYS: Last in rushing offense, Garrett must go...Dallas was only down 14-3 when Garrett called two runs over the final 53 plays.
20) SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Four wins and two of them are against the Chiefs...I assume no one else will ever hire Norv Turner again as a head coach.
21) NEW YORK JETS: The great Rex Ryan leads the third-worst rush defense...it's gotten this bad.
22) ST. LOUIS RAMS: Only four have done it and no one since 1960 -- a rookie (Janoris Jenkins) had two pick-sixes in one game...RG3, Josh Freeman, Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson and Jake Locker are all rookies or young QBs rated higher than Bradford.
23) TENNESSEE TITANS: This defense gives Locker no chance -- giving up 30 points/game takes away the run game and allows pass rushers to tee off on young QB.
24) DETROIT LIONS: #1 passing offense doesn't score enough because of Stafford's 10 INTs and the 25 sacks against just makes the offense tread water...Jim Schwartz is too volatile to be a successful head coach; his teams are undisciplined because he's undisciplined (fourth in penalty yards allowed).
25) BUFFALO BILLS: It might be too little too late but Mario Williams is up to 8.5 sacks and could easily finish in the top 5...don't look now but Buffalo is entering it's easiest stretch of games and could finish on a strong run.
26) CAROLINA PANTHERS: Only kicked eight FGs (yes, that's last)...with all the options Cam Newton brings to the table, how have they only converted one 4th down?
27) CLEVELAND BROWNS: Allowed the most first downs by committing a penalty (29).
28) ARIZONA CARDINALS: The only team under 30% on third down conversions...Kevin Kolb is still the sixth-most sacked QB.
29) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Sorry Andy, but it's time to move on...all the talk about the defense but when you score less than 17 points/game, there's way too little margin of error.
30) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Worst offense in the NFL is backed up by the second-worst defense in the NFL.
31) OAKLAND RAIDERS: Tried to find something nice to say -- hey, you're fourth in punting average (of course you have the second-fewest punts downed inside the 20)...in your big game back you throw for 146 yards and a pick, Carson?
32) KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Let this sink in...you're worse than the Jags and Raiders

Most of us make resolutions to somehow change ourselves for the better in the upcoming year. More often than not, these resolutions involve promising ourselves to get into better shape, improve our diet, or quit some habit we think is hurting our health or well-being.
While the practice of making health-related resolutions tends to be great for business at Beachbody® (or any health and fitness company), these resolutions really only matter to you if they're helpful to you. Unfortunately, the statistics show that most of us won't see our resolutions through to the end of the coming year. Of course, you're an individual, not a statistic. Whether or not you succeed is entirely up to you.
Our job is to make your path to health and fitness easier. So here are some tips to help you succeed with your New Year's makeover.

Vintage-style trends will be prevalent in 2014Written by Guest Author | | firstname.lastname@example.com
by Heather Zeller
With the popularity of Pinterest and blogs like Green Wedding Shoes and Ruffled that feature real weddings, 2014 brides are dedicating more time and effort toward decorating their ideal weddings.
La Boutique Nostalgie specializes in conceptualizing timeless vintage wedding design. We have noticed a few vintage "trends" that will likely be prevalent this wedding season — and the best thing about vintage-style weddings is that they never go out of style.
- Brides are still gravitating toward "Great Gatsby"-inspired weddings like they did in 2013. Roaring Twenties weddings are full of fun, but also feature sophisticated details like hand-cut crystal buckets filled with white hydrangea and black or silver candelabras. Candelabras are a great way to make a statement and fit in perfectly with the Prohibition-era look. They can be used as dramatic centerpieces or as elegant ceremony decor on the altar. Top them with candles for a classic look or with lush, floral ball arrangements containing vintage classics like hydrangeas and large garden roses. Complete the look by inviting Leonardo DiCaprio.
- Rustic vintage weddings have been hugely popular for the past few years. While some brides are reporting "rustic fatigue," many still like this fun, earthy look. To differentiate yourself from other rustic-style brides, incorporate lots of small, unique details into your decor. Vintage-style blue Mason jars were all the rage in 2012 and 2013 and, while they are still lovely, more brides are gravitating toward a more European rustic look. Think long Tuscan-style tables with several centerpieces of varying heights. Centerpieces can include delicate single-stem flowers like ranunculus in milk glass vases or small candlelit lanterns with a succulent resting in front. Pops of bright colors like yellow and teal among neutrals also fit in perfectly with rustic-style nuptials. Rustic weddings also don't have to take place in barns (although it's a nice touch). Venues like Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids, Ohio, can be transformed into a farm-style hall with the right rustic decor.
- Many brides and some designers are moving away from the standard two- or three-color weddings. Why limit yourself to a couple of shades when you can use a compilation of complementary colors? Brides, who in the past may have chosen green and pink as wedding colors, could try a variety of pastels accented with metallics and ivory. Think gold Chiavari chairs, off-white linens and centerpieces with blush peonies and ivory garden roses in mercury glass pieces. By using a variety of soft colors and maybe a couple of hints of brighter shades, brides can create a classic, vintage-style ambience that will look as current in 20 years as it does today.
Brides that come to us are all about the little details. Everything from the cake table to the ladies' room is decorated. However, it's still important to keep in mind that your wedding day is an actual event and not a staged photo opportunity. Keeping a wedding authentic and remembering that the day is about love — not trends — will help couples enjoy their wedding.
To bring a sense of authenticity to the big day, put photos of your parents' wedding in antique frames on the escort table, weave your grandmother's brooch into the bouquet or borrow your future mother-in-law's blue earrings. A well-designed vintage-style wedding with these small details not only ensures beautiful photos, but a sense of family, love and history.

Most precious gift ever!!
I gave this lamb to my grabddaughter's baby shower and she was thrilled. Thank you so much.
I was very pleased with this Musical lamb. It was given as a gift for my granddaughter's shower. I cannot tell you how the baby likes it since she has not arrived but my granddaughter really loved it.
Thank you so much.
This is perfect for a new baby or young child. Very soft and huggable but as one other person commented, the voice recording of 'Jesus loves me' is of an older child, singing without music and in my opinion is not what you expect to hear.
Ideal gift for a newborn. The song - often sung with Mum as it plays is a good soother and great to get the fact that Jesus loves them into little minds subconsciously. I have given a few of these and they are loved by Mums, later children - also older siblings. Grandma's love them too. Look good, soothing and gets home a vital point.
Excellent give for young children. Very reasonably priced! Great for my needs for Christmas presents.
these are the softest stuffed lambs I've ever felt and very cute, too. However the description said "Jesus Loves Me" sung by a child. I thought it would be a younger child. The voice sounded middle schoolish...a bit disappointed by that, but a very nice little lamb gift for Easter for my grandsons.
This is the second one I've purchased for 2 of my grand-children. I think they're adorable and I love the message.

Beneficiario di un regalo CRÉATION? Beneficiario di un forfait LYS?
"Unique in the world:Beauty and relaxing treatments based on organic ingredients such as milk and normandy apples."Jean-Marie and Christine Boelen, Maîtres de Maison, present their property:
Once a refuge for impressionist painters, La Ferme Saint-Siméon is celebrated for its bucolic surroundings and beautiful Seine estuary light. Monet and Courbet would come here and work on their colours, and Baudelaire would flee the melancholy of Paris in search of inspiration. The farm, close to the old harbour of Honfleur and the Eugène-Boudin Museum, has now been restored throughout and provides an outstanding spa with beauty and relaxing treatments based on organic ingredients such as milk and Normandy apples. "Oh, Saint-Siméon", exclaimed the painter Eugène Boudin in one of his journals. Indeed it is hard not to love the place, and even harder to leave it behind.

No-gi vs skins
So we've all heard the gi v no-gi debate. Well I just realized that no-gi has differences in itself too.
Tonight I didn't wear my rash guard and neither did another guy. Makes things a whole lot more slippery then with it. Just though I'd point it out and see if anyone else agrees.
Wearing a shirt during no gi doesn't give you anything to grab onto but it absorbs all the sweat.

Style: Judo--
I've found no-gi grappling on sand to be awseomely weird in that after about five seconds you're both covvered in sand, absorbing all sweat and actually causing a fair amount of friction. In my opinion, it's close to the perfect balance between speed and strength elements that come to fore in conventional no-gi due to lack of grips, and the focus on technique that comes from the slowing down in gi grappling. Beaches are fun. :toothy10:

I wear a rashguard and gi-pants most of the time, sometimes I wear board shorts instead. Catching people in triangles is noticeably and frustratingly more difficult without the gi-pants on.
On the very rare occasions when I wear a t-shirt I'm constantly getting my hands or feet tangled in it. So I hate them...
Style: Judo--
My biggest problem when I roll no-gi against someone with a shirt or rashguard on is I can't stop grabbing it. Twenty plus years of grabbing gi is hard to overcome. It really ticks me off since my mind is telling my hands not to grab the shirt but my hands are saying "lots of handles here, we're gonna just grab and pull him over, it's much easier".
I'd love to roll skins only but most people find it kind of gross with the sweating and all. Plus I'm not as fit as I used to be so I look better with a shirt on now to cover up the love handles.
Style: bjj--
Board shorts or grappling shorts ( I like Sprawl) and a rash shirt work best for me. It may be just a mental thing but I feel I'm tougher to hold on to with a rashie as opposed to a t-shirt. Plus the rash shirt seems to dissipate the sweat better while the t-shirt turns into a drenched rag.
oh, and I'm only rolling skins with the opposite sex. Period.
Style: MMA--
I usually just wear a t-shirt or a wifebeater for no-gi.
The only real benefit to the rashguard is that t-shirts get stretched out during rolling.
If you think it affects your ability grappling, it doesn't. Or it really shouldn't anyhow; it's in your head."This is why we are here. Because the Martial Arts for too long have been cloaked in an unnecessary level of secrecy bordering on mysticism, and its in these shadows that the cockroaches love to hide. -Phrost"

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga Mocs (4-4/3-2) pushed No. 2 Georgia Southern (7-1/6-1) to the limit before losing 39-31 in triple overtime at Finley Stadium. The loss spoiled a strong comeback for Chattanooga after a fast start by the Eagles.
GSU took a 21-7 lead, scoring touchdowns on three of its first four possessions. Jacob Huesman's (Chattanooga, Tenn.) two-yard first quarter score was sandwiched by three rushing touchdowns for the Eagles. Darreion Robinson (29 yards) and Jerick McKinnon (10 and 18 yards) looked like a juggernaut early.
But the Mocs defense stiffened and the offense took flight on Huesman's legs. The redshirt freshman quarterback ran for a career-high 170 yards on 26 carries, scoring twice in the game. Down 21-7, he engineered a drive that resulted in Nick Pollard (Nashville, Tenn.) nailing a career-best-tying 39-yard field goal which led to a 21-10 deficit at intermission.
That trio of points started a great run for the Mocs. It was the beginning of 17 unanswered as Chattanooga dominated play in the third quarter. Marquis Green (Palmetto, Fla.) and Huesman scored on six and 10-yard runs, respectively, to give UTC a 24-21 advantage heading into the fourth quarter.
After holding GSU to a three-and-out on the first possession of the fourth quarter, a turnover sent the Mocs defense back on the field. Tommy Hudson (Moultrie, Ga.) fumbled the GSU punt which the Eagles recovered on the UTC 36. McKinnon converted a key third-down in the drive to get the ball inside the UTC 10 at the nine.
The Mocs defense was up to the task. It allowed just two more yards in three plays and Alex Hanks tied the game at 24-all with a 24-yard FG. Neither offense mounted a dangerous threat although the Eagles did manage to give Hanks a chance from 49 yards out to win the game. His kick was not close and free football for all commenced in the Scenic City.
Georgia Southern wasted no time. Two plays and a score as Robinson ran 20 yards down the right sideline for the 31-24 lead.
The Mocs opened with a Huesman to Terrell Robinson (South Pittsburg, Tenn.) connection for nine yards and a Huesman three-yard run. But three plays later they faced elimination on fourth-and-five from the eight. Huesman scrambled, bought time and found Faysal Shafaat (Orlando, Fla.) in the back of the end zone to tie the game at 31.
In the second extra period, UTC started with the ball. Three plays netted one yard. Pollard's 41-yard field goal effort sailed wide right opening the door for the Eagles. It was slammed shut on the first play as Zack Rayl (Englewood, Tenn.) pounced on McKinnon's fumble sending the game to a third overtime period.
GSU started with the ball and could not have been more methodical. It took 10 plays to move 25 yards converting on short-yardage three times, including fourth-and-one before McKinnon edged in from a yard out. He rushed in for the two-point conversion for a 39-31 advantage.
That score would hold up. The Mocs got inside the Eagles' 10 but could not convert on fourth-and-two from the five. The loss overshadowed some amazing efforts.
Huesman's 170 yards rushing is the second-most by a freshman in school history. He had a game-high 282 yards of total offense throwing for 102 on 11 of 20 passing and a touchdown. He also caught a Robinson offering for 16 yards.
Defensively, Derrick Lott (Kennesaw, Ga.) had 15 tackles at defensive tackle. That's a number not often reached by the interior of a defensive line as a unit much less by an individual. He was joined in game-high honors by Wes Dothard (Carrollton, Ga.) with 15 stops of his own.
Defensive end Davis Tull (Knoxville, Tenn.) added 12 tackles including three for loss. Safety D.J. Key (Centerville, Tenn.) chipped in 11 tackles of his own.
McKinnon and Robinson paced a stout rushing effort for GSU. McKinnon had 141 yards on 28 carries with three touchdowns while passing for 55 completing three of five attempts. Robinson had two scores of his own running for 74 yards on 11 totes.
All-in-all, the Eagles amassed 372 yards on the ground to 198 for the Mocs. GSU had 217 yards at the half and 109 in the final two quarters of regulation. It added 46 in the extra periods.
Both teams had two turnovers. GSU converted the Mocs' miscues into 10 points, while UTC had seven off the Eagles' lone regulation fumble.
The Mocs travel to Western Carolina next Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Audio broadcast and live stat links can be accessed via the football schedule page on GoMocs.com.

The crack of the bat, the dew on the grass, players stretching in the Florida/Arizona sun, and the arrival of MLB figures at Toys 'R' Us always means that Spring Training is right around the corner. For the third consecutive year, Toys 'R' Us will offer an exclusive line of McFarlane's Sports Picks as part of their "Opening Day" section to celebrate the start of the 2008 baseball season. So which MLB stars will you find at Toys 'R' Us next spring?
Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies 2B: A two-time All-Star who delivered 100 RBI in his first two full seasons, Utley brings slick fielding, timely base stealing, and the most dangerous bat of any player at his position. With Utley and Ryan Howard patrolling the right side, Phillies fans will have plenty of reasons to cheer for years to come.
Barry Zito, San Francisco Giants P: A three-time All-Star and former Cy Young award winner, Zito came out of unrestricted free agency with the largest pitcher's contract in baseball history - signing on with the San Francisco Giants with a seven-year deal.
Chien-Ming Wang, New York Yankees P: After a promising 8-5 record as a rookie in 2005, Wang developed into the ace of New York's staff in just his second season. He won 19 games in 2006, and finished second in the American League. Cy Young award voting. With a bowling-ball sinker and a powerful offense behind him, Wang is an absolute staple at the top of the Yankee rotation.
Kevin Youkilis, Boston Red Sox 1B: His hitter's eye and defensive flexibility has seen him bounce around Boston's lineup the last few years, but in 2007 he firmly established himself at Boston's starting first baseman. Dubbed "The Greek God of Walks," by the Fenway faithful, Youkilis hits for average and power, but doesn't mind walking to first to set the table for the Ortiz/Ramirez wrecking crew that hits behind him.
Gary Sheffield, Detroit Tigers OF: The Tigers turnaround was baseball's best story in 2006, but falling just short in the World Series led them to upgrade their offense. Detroit acquired Sheffield from New York, adding a wicked right-handed bat to their offense and a cannon arm to right field. The Tigers' roar is a little louder this year, as their newest slugger speaks loudly AND carries a big stick.
Paul Konerko, Chicago White Sox 1B: Konerko was a highly regarded prospect for the Dodgers, but never truly realized his potential in Los Angeles or Cincinnati. Once he arrived on Chicago's South Side, he exploded into the dynamic force we see today. Konerko rewarded the organization's faith by dominating the post-season in 2005 - crushing five homers and delivering 15 RBI in Chicago's 15 playoff games that culminated in the World Series championship.
In addition to the six-figure lineup, Toys 'R' Us will also have a pair of 3-packs available - featuring a Sports Picks debut and five figures in uniforms we've never released before:
Boston Red Sox 3-pack (alternate red jerseys)
Manny Ramirez 2, Jonathan Papelbon & J.D. Drew
New York Mets 3-pack
David Wright, Carlos Delgado & Pedro Martinez 2 (alternate black jerseys)
Look for MLB 20 and the Mets/Red Sox 3-packs exclusively at Toys 'R' Us stores in February 2008. Stay tuned to Spawn.com in the upcoming weeks for images of these figures and more.

Monday, April 8, 2013
The Wando School Improvement Council is sponosoring a parent-driven educational initiative about preventing alcohol and substance abuse, April 15 at the Wando Performing Arts Center. It's called Choices 101.
In a letter signed by principal Lucy Beckham and council chairwoman Kate Darby, it noted "medical and legal experts, alongside a Charleston County School District representative, will present timely and useful information on aspects of alcohol and substance abuse."
Topics include how substance abuse affects teenagers' physical development and how the school district handles abuse problems occuring on school property or at a school-sponsored event.
"It takes a community of understanding to shepherd our children through the middle and high school years," the letter continued. Speakers in attendance are: Scarlett Wilson (solicitor, ninth judicial circuit), Louis Martin (associate superintendent with the school district), Sylvia Rivers (community outreach coordinator at MUSC) and Scott Hayes (ER trauma doctor with East Cooper Medical Center and Trident Health System).
Speakers present information and then are available for questions. The event begins at 7 p.m. and is expected to last two hours.

Toledo man recalls service as WWII Naval aviatorWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledoan Alex Rapp made it through World War II unscathed, but not for lack of action.
The Naval aviator, now 94, was stationed on the USS Yorktown and flew a Grumman TBF.
"That was a rugged airplane. It could take an awful beating," Rapp said. "Our job was to sink ships, blow up hangars, blow up airfields, anything we could destroy. We were all over that ocean. I estimate I killed about 2,000 Japanese myself. It's a big ocean. They had lots of places and we bombed them all."
One place in particular he recalls is Truk Lagoon, now known as Chuuk Lagoon, in the Caroline Islands.
"Truk was a big installation in the middle of the Pacific," Rapp said. "It made our Pearl Harbor look like a little hole in the wall. It was a powerful place. We attacked that four times. Oh boy, that was a dangerous place."
Although never injured, Rapp had several close calls.
One came when he was lined up for takeoff too close to the end of the carrier's runway.
"We were supporting landings at Saipan and I was the first of six planes to take off from the carrier, just after dawn. I got down to the end of the deck and I only had 69 knots. It takes 72 knots to fly, so I'm sinking down right to the ocean," Rapp said. "It takes patience and nerve just to hold everything steady and I finally got that plane up in the air. The dangerous part was I had depth charges. If I would have hit the water, they would have blown me right up. When I came back, the flight officer came up to me and said, 'I apologize to you. I only gave you 300 feet for takeoff and it should have been 330 feet.' I could have punched him in the nose."
Another time, Rapp left with a group of 150 pilots on a bombing mission to Kwajalein, an atoll in the Marshall Islands, but when they arrived at the specified location, the intended target was nowhere in sight. They soon located the ship further down the coast, but getting there used extra fuel.
"I got right down on the water, right at the ship, dropped the bomb and went over," Rapp said. "I could see a guy shooting at me from the stern of the ship and, when I went over, why, he hit me underneath and blew a hole in the plane. But that was the easy part."
Meanwhile, the group of carriers the planes had taken off from came under attack by the Japanese and radioed to say they were moving out. Already low on fuel from the miscalculated bombing location, the pilots would now have farther to fly to make it back.
"We were expendable," Rapp said. "They left us, but we finally caught up with them. We all landed while the Japanese were attacking. We got aboard the carrier and had to find places to hide. I had 23 gallons of gasoline left and these other guys had less. They were patting me on the back saying, 'Boy, you were terrific to save all that gas.' So we made it back, but that was a rough day."
TBFs were designed to carry torpedoes, but the pilots used bombs instead because it was safer. To minimize their chances of being shot down, the pilots would dive at more than 300 mph toward their targets.
"You'd try to get as fast as you could go," Rapp said. "With torpedoes, you had to fly low and slow, but with bombs, you could go in fast and still have a lot of speed to get out of there."
Rapp recalled dropping a torpedo only once, near Saipan.
"There were nine of us loaded with torpedoes and we chased this destroyer and caught up with it and attacked it," Rapp said. "Five planes attacked from the port side and four planes came in from the starboard side and we bracketed that ship. They hit at almost the same time and it was the biggest explosion I'd ever seen. Just like that, it disappeared."
One time, the pilots loaded their planes not with bombs or torpedoes, but with food. After helping Marines take control of Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, Rapp's ship had moved on to another mission when they got word the Marines had run out of supplies.
"We were about 1,000 miles away, but we sailed back there and loaded up 11 planes and brought them 11 tons of food," Rapp said. "The runway was made out of coral and it was just as white as can be. I was flying in and thought to myself, 'Boy, this is beautiful. I've never seen anything so beautiful.' The food came from our ship. We ate a lot of rice after that."
Rapp was the oldest of eight siblings. All four of his younger brothers also served in the military.
"We were all over the world," Rapp said. "It must have been tough on our parents, all the boys being gone. I think about it once in a while, but my mother and father were tough people. They were immigrants from Europe."
His brother Gene was drafted into the Army and was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked.
"He said it was terrible and we were not prepared for anything," Rapp said. "He was at Hickam Field and the Japanese shot up all the planes that were on the runways."
Knowing they would soon be drafted, Rapp and another brother, Joseph, joined up.
Joseph served in the Army and Air Force with a B-29 photographic intelligence unit.
"His group had more pictures and knew more about Japan than the Japanese did," Rapp said.
Rapp's two youngest brothers later served during the Korean War.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's Bay Apache Classic Western Boots:
For the cost these are a disappointment. I have never had a pair of cowboy boots wear out so soon. Less than a year after purchase. The location indicates poor workmanship and manufacturing as the side seam of a boot should never "wear" out there is little if any wear on the side of a boot.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Men's Bay Apache Classic Western Boots:
I was looking into a new pair of boots and came across these. When I got the boots, they were not the quality that I was expecting. I noticed that the heels were not attached to the boot that well and there was a gap between the sole of the boot and the heel. Another thing I found was that the heels were not the same size. When you line the heels of the boots up together, you can see that one is significantly bigger than the other. The Justin boots that I wear now were made in China, and I have not had a problem with them. I was hoping that the Justin boots made in the U.S. would be made even better than the ones from China, but this is not the case. I will be returning these boots. However, the boots look nice and are decently comfortable. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I really expected more than this from Justin Boots.
