|'Nag Me to Click It' to get tweens buckled up
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Nearly seven out of 10 children, ages 8 to 12, killed in motor vehicle crashes in Colorado since 2004 were not wearing seat belts. That's why Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Team Colorado is launching a new campaign with a goal of getting more of these so-called "tweens" to buckle up and sit in the back seat.
The campaign, called "Nag Me to Click It," aims to encourage parents and caregivers to keep reminding kids to buckle up and not take "no" for an answer. The campaign uses humor by turning the table on parents, with kids taking the role of disciplinarian if parents don't make them wear seat belts.
"As children get older and develop their independence, it's more important than ever to set a good example by buckling up yourself and making sure your kids do too," said Corp. Eric Wynn, Colorado State Patrol. "Parents have more influence than they think.
"In surveys, tweens admit that parents are the ones most likely to get them to wear their seat belt, so help them develop a habit that could save their life by making seat belts non-negotiable. Besides, it's the law, and drivers will be pulled over and ticketed when children are not properly buckled up."
Dr. Todd Porter, a pediatrician with Children's Medical Center agrees that parents play a critical role. "Just as parents are concerned about getting their children immunized against diseases like the H1N1 flu virus, they should be just as concerned with protecting their kids against the number one-killer of children in Colorado—traffic crashes," said Dr. Porter. "Children are particularly susceptible to serious injuries because their bodies and bones are still developing and can't withstand the force of a collision. Children are also safest sitting in the back seat, away from air bags."
Safety experts recommend that children be at least 13 years old before being allowed to sit in the front seat. Between 2004-2008, 18 percent of children under age 13 who died in traffic crashes in Colorado were sitting in the front seat.
Studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia show that children are 40-48 percent less likely to be fatally injured in the back seat of passenger vehicles. Airbag and vehicle manufactures also recommend children remain in the back seat to be away from the airbag deployment zone.
But simply buckling up and being in the back seat isn't enough. Children need to be in the appropriate child restraint according to their age, height and weight.
For example, not all "tweens" are tall enough to fit an adult seat belt. Safety experts recommend that kids remain in a booster seat until they are at least 4'9" tall, which can typically be anytime between 8 and 11 years old. This is because if the hips are not developed enough, the lap belt can slip up into the soft abdominal area during a crash and can cause very serious abdominal and spinal cord injuries.
To insure that your child is tall enough to fit into vehicle safety belts, all five of the following criteria must be met:
—The child should be able to sit in the vehicle seat with their back and bottom touching the vehicle's seat-back cushion.
—The child's legs should be long enough to be able to comfortably bend at the knees at the edge of the vehicle seat.
—The lap portion of the safety belt should be touching the upper thighs and be low over the hips.
—The shoulder belt should fit across the center of the collarbone and center chest.
—The child should be mature enough to remain correctly positioned in the safety belt at all times.
"Parents need to make sure their children's friends are also properly buckled up when they're giving them a ride. They also need to talk to other parents about making sure their kids are buckled up when riding with others," said Corp. Wynn. "Parents often lift the rules when carpooling with kids, but most crashes happen on those short trips. Also, make sure kids take off their backpacks before buckling up to make sure the seat belt fits them correctly.

Conway, SC (SportsNetwork.com) - Warren Gillis scored 22 points and Josh
Cameron added 19, as Coastal Carolina captured the Big South title with a
76-61 victory over Winthrop and earned its first NCAA Tournament berth since
The Chanticleers (21-12) had lost their last three Big South championship game

Winthrop. Sunday's victory made Cliff Ellis the 10th coach to take four
different schools to the NCAA Tournament.
Badou Diagne chipped in 17 points and Elijah Wilson contributed 12 for Coastal
Carolina, which was playing on its home floor as the tourney's top seed and
avenged a pair of regular-season losses to Winthrop.
Keon Moore scored 19 points and Joab Jerome finished with 13 for Winthrop
(20-13), which was playing for the fourth time in five days. The Eagles had
beaten Liberty in the first round on Wednesday, then knocked off North top
seed High Point in Friday's quarterfinals and edged UNC-Asheville in
Saturday's semifinals.
Winthrop fell to 10-2 all-time in the Big South championship game and had won
its last nine in the title contest since a 1993 loss to Coastal Carolina.

Prospect Park
If Prospect Park feels like Brooklyn's answer to Central Park, there's a reason—Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed both massive green spaces in the mid-19th century. For its part, the 585-acre Prospect Park is highlighted by the immense Long Meadow, whose name isn't just an empty boast—at almost 1 mile long, it may be the longest continuous meadow in any American park. The meadow is a popular site for sports and picnics. Prospect Park as a whole is home to endless recreational possibilities, including not only the usual suspects like jogging and biking but also such rare treats as dog swimming—four-legged New Yorkers can make a splash at Dog Beach. The beach is part of Prospect Park Lake, where visitors are also known to go fishing (it's a great place to catch largemouth bass—but anglers must abide by the "catch and release" rule). Prospect Park also contains Brooklyn's only remaining natural forest, which spans 250 acres (in total, the park features more than 30,000 trees).
Other notable Prospect Park attractions include Lefferts Historic House, where visitors can view artifacts, churn butter, start fires with flint and steel, sew and otherwise experience some of the rural activities that once characterized life in Flatbush; the Prospect Park Zoo, home to a wide array of animals you're unlikely to see frolicking through most parks, including red pandas and kangaroos; and the Prospect Park Bandshell, which during the summer hosts Celebrate Brooklyn!, a mostly free concert series that has showcased Sonic Youth, They Might Be Giants, David Byrne and more. A newer development, Lakeside, has year-round ice/roller skating rinks, viewing terraces, a water feature and a café. Finally, the nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden is one of the largest attractions of its kind; highlights include a scent garden for the blind, a serene Japanese tea garden and a recently opened Discovery Garden geared towards kids. Other neighboring sights include the Brooklyn Museum and the gorgeous main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. For many more worthy attractions west of Prospect Park, check out our guide to Park Slope.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Sophomore Chalmer Moffett came off the bench in the later innings Tuesday against St. Clairsville and eventually ripped a two-run single to right field that gave Wheeling Park some breathing room in the sixth inning.
Turns out, it didn't count. A rain and lightning storm halted - and eventually stopped - play midway through the sixth and all of the official stats reverted back to the last completed inning, giving the Patriots a 4-3 victory.
It hardly mattered to Wheeling Park coach Mike McLeod, whose team is off to an eye-opening 14-1 start. He tends to look at the bigger picture.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park catcher Andrew Kawolo heads up the line to field an off-line throw as St. Clairsville's Turner Provost scores during the third inning of their game Tuesday.
''Like I tell them,'' he said, ''it's all practice till the sectional.''
Whether the hit counted or not, McLeod knows he's got guys who have proved they can get a big hit off the bench. Or throw some quality innings like the four Trevor Stewart, a senior who wasn't on the varsity club last season, gave him Tuesday.
Teams that plan on making more than a cameo appearance in the postseason need guys like that.
McLeod has them.
''We have a good group of kids that are baseball kids,'' he said. ''Everyone's willing to accept their role. I called everyone into my office, and I told them what their role was. When you have good baseball kids, sometimes things come together.''
There's a little insight how these Patriots - seemingly out of nowhere - have won 14 of their first 15 games
They pull for each other.
''We laugh together, we hang out together, we eat together,'' McLeod said. ''And I know it sounds cliche - and I'm not really into cliche's - but they are really a close-knit group that loves being around the game of baseball. And that makes it fun for me.''
Still, jokes and sandwiches don't win many baseball games.
This club has its share of talent, beginning with senior Andrew Kawolo, who scattered five hits in seven innings against the No. 6 team in the state during the weekend.
On this team, everyone seemingly has a story.
Football speedster Eric Banks didn't play baseball last season. He is now, and no one goes first to third faster than that kid.
Justice Jackson, who hasn't done a lot of pitching, yielded four hits in six innings against always-tough Hurricane last weekend.
Eric Crow is a sophomore who has impressed the coaches with his outfield play and his bat.
Senior Ethan Jacobs hasn't pitched yet. When he's ready, he'll likely get the ball in big spots in the postseason.
On Tuesday, four different players pinch hit. They went 1-for-3 with a hit by pitch and two RBI.
It's anything but a nine-man club.
''I like to give guys ample opportunity to play because it helps keep the morale up,'' McLeod said. ''You keep a kid on the team and even though he knows his role, I like to get kids in the game and intertwine them with our leaders. That makes them feel good about themselves even though they're not (necessarily) going to start or play a major role. We can still get this done, no matter who is in there.''
They're certainly hoping the second half of the season goes as well as the first..

BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- Less than one week after the fatal shooting of Antonio Santiago the two teen suspects at the center of the case have been indicted.
Documents say 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins shot the 13-month-old baby in the face
with a .22 caliber revolver while trying to rob the baby's mother.
District Attorney Jackie Johnson of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit said in a
statement, "The law does not allow the death penalty to be sought against the defendants charged with murder in this case because both defendants were under the age of 18 at the time of the commission of the offense."
Criminal Defense Attorney Richard Kuritz explained further, "The Florida Supreme
Court and the U.S. Supreme Court not too long ago decided you cannot sentence a juvenile to death or mandatory life. So, while I expect a large number of years it will not be life or death."
In a Wednesday media update, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering explained
investigators are trying to determine if the case is gang related. The 17 year old accused murder posted statements and pictures on social media suggesting he was affiliated with the street gang the Bloods.
Kuritz said social media is often used in investigations, by law enforcement and defense attorneys. Social media allows them to see what suspects are really doing and really saying.
"I've seen several times with social media where people who are convicted felons holding guns, holding drugs, and carrying fire arms and they're posting pictures proudly on websites or social media, only to find out it's going to bite them in the long run."
Kuritz added that pictures and tattoos have helped law enforcement add RICO, or
Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations charges in cases similar to this.
"They're all doing something individual but at the end of the day you can tie them all together, at the end of the day I would not be surprised to see that in this case."
Elkins' mother and sister were charged with trying to dispose of the gun believed to be the murder weapon. Elkins is currently behind bars at the Glynn County Detention Center.

Comments about Martin X Series 2015 D12X1AE 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
The first thing that surprised me was the box the Martin D12X1AE arrived in had "Made in Mexico" printed in bold red ink. Quite frankly, I never knew Martin made any instrument outside of Nazareth, PA. However, after doing some research, I learned Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico was not a small town tucked in a remote valley. On the contrary, it's a resort city of about 158,000 hardworking people located right on the Gulf of California - 378 miles south of the Arizona border to be exact.
As for the D12X1AE, it's definitely on the heavier side, but plywood tends to be more dense than solid wood. Even though the plys are quite obvious, the guitar is beautiful to look at and sounds pretty darn good for having HPL back and sides. If you have the extra $1800 to spring for a D12-28, by all means have at it, but this guitar pushes out some sound. If you're not going to amplify the axe anytime soon, take out the 9-volt battery inside the body the next time you change strings. Otherwise, you won't get at that battery unless you're a skilled surgeon with the proper tools.
My D12X1A is protected by an Epiphone EDREAD hardshell case and plays easier with some Martin M200 silk and steel strings on it. This guitar is a good buy for the price and has the usual meticulous Martin manufacturing built in.

Dual Algorithm Technology
Choose the one dive computer that's liberal, conservative or middle-of-the-road.
Dual Algorithm™ technology lets you choose the decompression algorithm that best suits your diving needs without compromising safety.
Wireless Air Integration
Our Sophisticated Personal Dive Computers feature Wireless Air Integration technology.
A transmitter threaded into the first stage high-pressure port continuously sends cylinder pressure data to the dive computer. Frequencies are individually coded to allow multiple divers to swim side by side without interference with other units. Because the transmitter and display module are independent and separately powered units, the dive computer may also be easily used as a stand alone, non-air integrated dive computer.
Patented Air Time Remaining Algorithm
You're at 80 feet with 1300 psi remaining in your cylinder - how long before you need to begin an ascent to a shallower depth?
Our patented Air Time Remaining feature calculates your current depth, breathing rate, cylinder pressure, ascent time, and decompression status to tell you exactly how much time you can remain underwater.
Download and Settings Upload Interface
The PC Interface is an exquisitely detailed digital dive log. It allows you to easily transfer dive data from your Dive Computer to your PC via a plug-in USB cable.
Following download, your dive data is automatically formatted for easy viewing, sorting, analysis, and printing. Enter location, dive buddy and your notes and you've instantly created your own digital logbook. In addition to detailed dive analysis, the dive computer PC Interface also allows you to quickly and easily set most of your user settings and options through your PC.
Automatic Altitude Compensation
Selected Personal Dive Computers automatically compensate for altitude dives up to 14,000 feet, giving adjusted no-decompression times and depths.
Our Dive Computers even automatically recalibrates the depth displays for freshwater instead of seawater above 2,000 feet.

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has turned his collection of horror film memorabilia into the basis for a gory new festival.
The heavy rocker will launch Fear FestEvil in San Francisco, California on Thursday after freaking fans out with his haul of movie props and costumes at Metallica's Orion Festival events.
The Kirk's Crypt exhibits became such a hit that he showed off his odd collection in the book "Too Much Horror Business" in 2012, and now he's teaming up with a few famous faces to scare up a storm at the Regency Ballroom over the weekend.
On display will be full-size figures of Frankenstein's Monster and Dracula and original props from the film Bride of Frankenstein, while guests at the first Fear FestEvil will include fellow rocker and horror buff Slash and Carrie actress P.J. Soles, as well as filmmakers and special effects gurus.
Hammett has also booked heavy metal icons Carcass to perform, telling Revolver, "For us to get Carcass, I'm just so psyched to even be able to make that happen, and it brings the convention up another level."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Tuesday, we told you about nearly 100 World War II veterans getting around a barricade with a sign from the National Park Service that read, "Because of the federal government shutdown, all National Parks are closed."
Their visit of the WWII memorial was organized by Honor Flight, a program that brings veterans from all over the country to see the WWII memorial for free.
At the time, Carol Johnson, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service said, "The Park Service did not want to do this, but we've been instructed as a federal agency to close our facilities and our grounds."
Some members of Congress defied the National Park Service and opened the barricade.
Tuesday, the Daily Caller reported that "The White House and the Department of the Interior rejected a request from Rep. Steven Palazzo's office to have World War II veterans visit the World War II memorial..."
Palazzo told the Daily Caller that his office contacted a liaison for the White House, the National Park Service, the Department of the Interior and the Capitol Police and all officials rejected his request to allow the veterans to visit the memorial. After helping open the barricade, Palazzo announced in a statement that he planned to introduce legislation to ensure Honor Flights were able to see the memorial.
Wednesday, Carol Johnson tweeted, "The Honor Flights are being granted access to the WWII Memorial to conduct 1st Amendment actives in accordance with NPS regulations."

Royals Found in Florida
Aaron Solomon might live in Florida now, but that doesn't mean he isn't rooting for or talking about his Royals.
The Kansas City native, who had Royals season tickets growing up, is coaching a youth baseball team in Wellington, Fla., this fall. The team, which is made up of 7- and 8-year olds, is named the Royals. The Major League naming is part of Coach Aaron's way of not only teaching the kids the fundamentals of the game, but also the history of the sport – specifically the Kansas City Royals!
Here's a picture of the team before the start of the new season. From all of us here in Kansas City, best of luck to the Wellington Royals this fall!
1 Comment
Aaron happen to be a very good coach for the boys. You might find one or more of these boys in real Royal Uniform in the future. Go Royals in Wellington Florida
I happen to grew up in Kansas City with the A's and then the Royals. So, go Royals.

When the Cyclones and the Hawkeyes renew their intrastate football rivalry for the 61st time this Saturday at 5 p.m., 75,000 fans will be in and around Jack Trice Stadium to cheer them on. And that's a lot of people, cars and congestion in an area covering less than a square mile.

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Patrick Marleau's power-play goal with 6:42
left in overtime secured San Jose's first-ever sweep of a seven-game series,
as the Sharks downed the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3, at HP Pavilion to advance to
the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Vancouver forward Daniel Sedin was whistled for a questionable boarding call
at the 13:03 mark of the extra session and the Sharks quickly cashed in, as
Joe Thornton rifled a shot from the high slot that Cory Schneider fought off.
Schneider wasn't able to secure the rebound however, and the puck trickled to
the low left side, where Marleau pounded it home to send the Sharks into the
second round.
Joe Pavelski potted a pair of goals in regulation, including the game-tying
goal with 4:27 remaining to force overtime. Brent Burns also lit the lamp,
while Thornton added a trio of helpers for the Sharks, who received 32 saves
from Antti Niemi.
Alexandre Burrows and Mason Raymond recorded a goal and an assist apiece,
while Alexander Edler scored once for Vancouver, which suffered its second
straight first-round exit. Schneider stopped 43-of-47 shots in defeat.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's public colleges and universities will be taking a state budget cut for the third straight year.
Gov. Jay Nixon announced a nearly $9 million cut for higher education Friday while signing Missouri's $24 billion budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. He cited concerns about state revenues, including whether the Missouri Lottery can generate enough money to meet budget expectations.
Nixon said he believes the budget passed by lawmakers is $50 million out of balance. But he made just $15 million of cuts Friday and said he will re-evaluate the need for more cuts later. If circumstances improve, funding also could be restored.
Besides the higher education cuts, most of Friday's reductions were to new initiatives or programs that had been slotted for funding increases.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - The New Orleans Hornets finally ended their
eight-game road losing slide as they held off the Phoenix Suns for a 95-92
victory at the US Airways Center.
Anthony Davis led the charge with 20 points and blocked two shots for New
Orleans as it ended a two-game losing streak. Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson
scored 17 points apiece. Anderson also grabbed 10 rebounds and the Hornets
improved to 16-21 with Gordon in the lineup.
Markieff Morris scored 18 points for Phoenix, which also received 17 points
and 10 boards from Luis Scola. Jared Dudley chimed in with 15 points off the
bench, but it was not enough to help the Suns avoid their season-high ninth
consecutive setback. Goran Dragic had 11 points and eight assists in the loss.

The blazer; a piece so iconic, versatile and timeless, that no well-styled wardrobe is complete without one. Make this wardrobe hero your new BFF and put your blazers set to stun.
The Great British Weather. At this time of year, it's safe to say that it's going to get worse before it gets better. But, with the first day of spring and the prospect of brighter days just months away, this leaves us in a rather tricky style spot. Do I buy more wintery clothes to keep me warm through freezing February? Or do I stock up for spring on all those lovely new season lines? The solution, lovely readers, is the trusty transitional wardrobe; pieces that can be worn now with woolly knits then peeled back as temperatures rise. Which leads us nicely onto arguably the most versatile of transitional pieces: the blazer.
One blazer. Three ways to wear.
From winter to spring, day to night, the blazer is a must-have basic to build your look around. While bold-toned blazers give this menswear-inspired piece an on-trend twist, black and white styles will never fall out of fashion favour. We've taken one of our favourite blazers from the Simply Be collection and created three unique looks to take you from season to season in style.
Laidback layers
Cute cami's are a Spring/Summer darling, especially those that keep the grunge flame burning. Layer a feminine dress with masculine separates for a spot of '90s-inspired androgynous chic.

As temperatures dip in autumn and the threat of frost hovers, most plants take the opportunity to rest from the hard work they've put into creating blossoms and fruit. "All plants need a breather after seed is produced and before active growth," says Michelle Reid, the horticulture foreperson for Toronto Parks, Recreation & Forestry. "In northern climates like ours, this dormant period coincides with winter." But while hardy shrubs and perennials can withstand the cold under their blanket of snow, our shivering fragile specimens need extra protection to survive.
That's where overwintering comes in. "Overwintering offers the gardener a number of benefits," adds Reid. "First and foremost, it saves money. It's easy, takes little space and the gardener can quickly increase his or her quantity of unusual and expensive species. And having plants indoors improves our well-being, as they cleanse the air during the long winter."
Suitable for most plants, especially tropicals and tender perennials (plants that we treat as annuals, but are perennials in warmer zones), one of the tricks to overwintering is to find the right place for the right plant. Some like a sunny spot by the window, while others prefer a cool, dark resting place.
Tender perennials, such as impatiens, coleus and geraniums, can be trimmed back and placed by a cool, bright window. If you want to keep them over the winter, dig and pot them up in containers before bringing them indoors. Some ardent gardeners nurture cuttings and plant them outdoors after the frost date passes, but others find it too much bother, so they buy new plants each spring.
Before the first frost in the fall, dig up summer-flowering bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes. Trim back the foliage, brush off the soil and lay them out in a dry, airy, warm place for two weeks. Divide if necessary and over- winter them in dark, cool, dry yet airy surroundings—the basement is perfect. The storage container depends on the type of bulb, corm or tuber. Gladioli and any bulbs with a papery husk should be placed in mesh bags with plenty of air circulation. Don't water, but do check them once a month and discard any that show signs of rot. Dahlias, cannas, caladiums and tuberous begonias can be stored uncovered in either trays or boxes loosely packed with vermiculite or dry peat moss. Check every month to see that they aren't drying out—you may need to sprinkle a few drops of water over the vermiculite or peat moss to keep it plump. (Don't overdo the water or rot may set in).

Stronger Codes Mean Safer Buildings
The Board of Rules & Appeals first met on January 10, 1971. On March 9, 1976, the voters of Broward County recognized the need for a single autonomous agency to write, modify, and interpret a uniform body of building codes applicable throughout the County. The County Charter was amended, as proposed by the Charter Review Commission, to establish the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals as an arm of county government. Made up of professionals, some appointed by the Broward County League of Cities others by the Broward County Commissioners, Board members are volunteers who serve without pay.
BORA works throughout the year to provide educational programs available to inspectors, contractors and design professionals, and to increase and improve the knowledge and performance of the persons certified by BORA pursuant to the Building Code. The Board convenes monthly, as needed, to consider proposed amendments to the Florida Building and Fire Prevention codes to hear appeals on decisions made by Building and Fire Code Officials, and to render formal interpretations on the precise meanings of code sections that may be disputed. Board members and staff are continually working to provide stronger codes and greater safety for all who live and work in Broward County, and are well represented in state, national, and international organizations developing codes and standards.

Southampton, Bermuda (SportsNetwork.com) - Propelled by an eagle at the par-5
17th, Masters champion Adam Scott rallied to overtake Justin Rose on Wednesday
and win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf by two strokes.
In addition to his go-ahead eagle on No. 17, Scott carded five birdies during
his bogey-free, 7-under 64 at Port Royal Golf Course to overcome a 3-shot
overnight deficit. The Australian finished 36 holes at 8-under-par 134 in his
first appearance at the event, which brings together the year's four major
Rose held a 4-stroke lead through seven second-round holes, but the U.S. Open
winner managed a pair of bogeys and nine pars the rest of the way en route to
a 69 and a runner-up result at 6-under.
PGA Champion Jason Dufner shot 70 and placed third at 3-under, while defending
champion Padraig Harrington (71) finished last at 3-over 145. Harrington
replaced Phil Mickelson in the field after the British Open champion withdrew
due to a scheduling conflict.

IndieGameStand is a new site for promoting indie games through 96 hour pay-what-you-want sales whenever a new game is released on the site. Many games will come with Steam and Desura keys according to the site. If you register before the launch September 26th you'll get the platformer Chester for free.
I think the concept looks pretty interesting, but then indie titles are pretty much the only games I play when it comes to modern games, besides my guilty pleasure Diablo 3.

WEIRTON - If there's one thing Tony Filberto has been good at through the years, it's rebuilding projects.
He faces a big one in his second go-around as head coach at Weir, coming over from Oak Glen where he turned the Golden Bears into a playoff contender. Filberto was previously the head coach of the Red Riders from 2002-2004 and had assistant coaching stints in 1983-88, 1993-94, and 1997-98.
''Maybe I'm not a long-stay but we get in there and get things right and it's the next guy's responsibility to keep it right,'' Filberto said. ''Right now, I feel it's such an honor to be the coach at Weir High School. I think Weir High School has history that nobody in the Ohio Valley has.
''You walk up and down the halls and see those plaques on the way. Bob Jeter, who played in the first two Super Bowls, and Bob Gain the Outland Trophy winner, we've had three Kennedy Award winners, numerous state championships. There is a lot of history here and I am very proud to be a part of that.''
Weir won the state title in 2005 under former coach Eric Meek, the year after Filberto left. Meek stepped down three years ago and the Red Riders went a combined 3-27 the following three seasons under Tom Taylor and Jason Kekseo.
Even with a string of unsuccessful seasons, Filberto isn't looking toward the future is trying to get his team to focus on winning right now.
''I have expectations of winning football games,'' Filberto said. ''We didn't come here to build for the future and that's never my attitude. We owe that to our older kids and our approach is we are going to win right now.
''We have a pretty good football team. I wish we had a few more numbers but this is a group of players that has worked as hard as any group I have ever coached.''
William Larch, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound sophomore, again begins the season as the starting quarterback. His freshman season was a short one as he was injured in the second game and spent the rest of the time on the sideline.
''He came in as an untested sophomore,'' Filberto said. ''He has grasped our offense, he leads our offense and he's a big, strong kid that runs well and throws well.''
Joining Larch in the backfield will be running backs senior Eric Piatt (5-10, 195) and sophomore Phil Digiloramo (6-1, 230).
Wideouts will be Matt Barnes (5-8, 140) and Clarence Bennett (5-11, 155). The tight end is junior John Frankovitch (5-11, 185). Others in the mix are Brandon Zapotoceny and Jonathan Rice.
The offensive line will consist of center Shain Livada, right guard James Owens, left guard will be split between Austin Wolverton and Dan Mohoroski, right tackle Daren Baldwin and left tackle Devin Dollison.
''We have a lot of speed and I am real, real pleased with that,'' Filberto said. ''If you have speed, people say you are undersized. I don't think we are undersized because we have a lot of 6-1s, 225s, 250s. We don't have a lot of 270s, 280s but I don't do well with a 280. We are more of a speed approach and we have always been that way offensively and defensively.
''The pieces of the puzzle that we want are there.''
Livada (5-10, 205) will be the nose tackle with Baldwin and Owens playing the tackles. The defensive ends will be split between Dollison, Digiloramo, and Frankovitch.
Piatt will be the middle linebacker while Matt Barnes and Zapotoceny are on the outside.
Bennett and Rice will play at corner with Larch at safety.
''I have six seniors that have been through the spring and summer and we have a lot of leadership in those kids,'' Filberto said. ''Who will step up and be noticeable? I think Daren Baldwin is going to be a great football player. I think James Owens is going to be a great football player. Matt Barnes is a receiver who is awfully good. Eric Piatt is our true leader.
''We want to put them in high pressure situations to see how they are going to react and so far the kids have done a pretty good job handling those.''

Gorilla, I don't think the V-twin market is nearly played out in the US. As evidence I offer the fact that HD is still around selling hugely expensive bikes even in this economy, as are all it's imitators foreign and domestic.Scott
I say we keep the bike different, that may not be the best way to go marketing wise,Or engineering wise, but i think that's why most of us bought an Enfield.
Well, that wasn't me that wrote that...

happy mother's day!
may your day be full of sweetness & snuggles – xoxo

a little more sweetness...
a bowl full of perspective…
1 year anniversary
this bowl has 150 syringes in it each one was a shot filled
with insulin my son has this many shots each & every month
when i am having a hard day…running late etc….i think about this bowl & remember
how grateful i am…for my son…for his health & for all i have learned this past year…..
(please remember i am only a mother – with no formal medical training or knowledge…
all i know has been learned in the field so to say & i just my point of view from our personal
journey as a family…if you or someone you know has a child with TYPE 1 DIABETES
please consult a doctor for medical professional for information & help & treatment)
so this is what the "old normal" looked like…our life before DIABETES….
soooooo….one year ago today my sweet SON was whisked in an ambulance to the hospital & admitted to the ICU where doctors told us he had TYPE 1 DIABETES…we have somehow inexplicably made it through the year…truth be told much of this year has been rather surreal…through both the good times & the hard days i have to remind myself that this is actually happening…he has JUVENILE DIABETES & there is no cure…i wanted to honor my son & his journey by celebrating his 1 year diagnosis anniversary…i know i know, that sounds so strange to "celebrate" his condition….but i want to celebrate his life & this whether we like it or not (ok we don't like it at all) DIABETES is part of his life…& i am so grateful he is here…blessings come cloaked in the most unusual packages…so here it goes..a bit of of our year & journey as a family as we learn to care for his health & find a new normal…
1st of all ever since we were in the hospital the nurses & doctors & everyone we encountered would use this phrase "new normal"…i think they thought it was somehow comforting…i'd like to share here & now that i am not fond of the phrase at all…after a full year of finger pricks, blood & shots there is nothing "new" or "normal" about it…it is unnatural to constantly be gathering bits of your child's blood to check & see if he is ok…& same goes for giving your child a shot every time he eats & every night before bed…so there, that's how i feel about that…however, i will humbly admit that we are getting used to this…my son doesn't cry & struggle every time he needs a shot, so that's good…& i have gotten soooo good at giving shots i secretly think of myself as a nurse (no disrespect to actual nurses)…& my husband & i sleep through the nights most nights now…when our son 1st got out of the hospital, it was a bit like having a newborn…we got up all the time at night to check & see if he was breathing & we'd poke his finger & check his blood too to be sure he was ok at night…now we just check him at night once a week…i suppose we are actually used to DIABETES…& after reflecting i will begrudgingly admit we do have a "new normal" in our home…i think is the phrase "new normal" sounds so cheery & cute…and there is nothing cute about this bowl full of perspective….
but my sweet boy IS oh so cute – we have made through this past year by making some personal choices that really helped us navigate the intensity of what was happening with our son & truly with our whole family…within days of his diagnosis it was evident that HE did not have TYPE 1 DIABETES but that WE did…what i mean is that my husband & i decided to implement many of the necessary lifestyle & diet changes not just for him but for all of us…(i'd like to interject a side note here – we were already EXTREMELY healthy as a family – i am an organic mama & all my children have been raised on vegetables & healthy food & my husband was a professional athlete & he has instilled a genuine love of sports & athletics in all our children –TYPE 1 DIABETES is an autoimmune disease – it was not brought on by any dietary or lifestyle choices we made – it was just bad luck to say the least)…ummm ok, where was i?? so WE as a family had DIABETES…& that meant a few simple things…NO JUICE…now the juice we normally had in the house was fresh squeezed OJ or organic apple juice, they could have after exercising or sometimes with breakfast – no big deal right?? WRONG – juice has so much sugar in it & our son could no longer drink it, as it could send his blood sugar up too high too fast, in fact the only juice he would be able to have would be a small juice box (exactly 15 carbs) that would be given only if he had a blood sugar of 70 or below…so "juice" was now "medicine" for him…so NO JUICE for anyone, because how much would is suck to get a shot before you eat, then site down & watch everyone drink juice that you couldn't have…so that was that…next up…our son had an intense fear of shots before he was diagnosed, so the realization that he would need 4-5 shots every day was really hard for him to comprehend…so he (quite cleverly) came up with his own language/words to minimize his fear…basically anytime someone said the word "SHOT" he would feel stressed…so "time for your shot" was an anxiety producing phrase…he decided to call it the "S-WORD" (again so clever in my opinion – S.H.O.T. is so a four letter word)…he referred to his insulin as his "POWER SOURCE"…he pretty much molded the scary words into words he could tolerate…all of us honored his word preferences & his little sister would be sure to let anyone know do not say "SHOT' in front of her brother…i loved it & still do…his anxiety levels have greatly decreased over this year & he can now handle hearing the word shot from time to time but for me it will always be the S-WORD….in another effort towards solidarity for our son's diagnosis, we all at one time or another let HIM prick OUR fingers & test our blood sugar…he really loved this…i was most proud of his youngest sister (just 5 at the time of his diagnosis) for she was very worried about pricking her finger…she tried several times over many months & always backed out at the last minute…then one day out of the blue she marched into our room and announced she wanted to check her blood sugar & she held out her finger..we swabbed it with alcohol & pricked it & checked her number, she gave me a sly smile & said that didn't even hurt that much…her brother laughed…it's moments like that, so bizarre & yet so sweet that keep me going…we have somehow inexplicably "normalized" pricking our fingers & checking our blood…i think it is that we are still US, even though we have been turned a bit upside down…DIABETES is a bit like having an uninvited stranger move into your home & needs attention all the time & goes everywhere with you…it is a major drag…. the hardest DIABETES related obstacle i faced as a mother this year was HOLIDAYS & his BIRTHDAY…i decided nothing would be different…meaning we were gonna go trick or treating on HALLOWEEN santa was definitely stopping by our house for CHRISTMAS & i was gonna make my son a fabulous cake for his birthday….
now before anyone starts freaking out, let me explain…i think most holidays & birthdays are about the EXPERIENCE not the candy or sweets…i wanted to be sure not to deprive him of the experiences of holidays & celebrations…truth be told we are pretty strict about sweets anyway…we always took the kids candy when we got home after trick or treating…they could dump out their bags & organize it into piles, then they could pick 2 small pieces & eat them after dinner…so that's what we did again…only now we are carefully counting the carbs & making sure he has enough insulin for him to have that treat…& anyone who knows me knows i like to throw my bambinos cool BIRTHDAYS (this may or may not be connected to a bit of guilt i have for working so much)…anyhow, i called my son's diabetes team (yup its a team, doctors, nutritionist, counsellors, nurses etc) & asked everyone's advice on birthday cake…the final analysis & concesus was i could make a cake with a substitute sweetener (which would be a few less carbs) but i don't like fake sweetners…so i made a regular cake…a BIG cool airplane cake…it took hours & i had lots of fun decorating it…my son kept wandering into the kitchen to keep tabs on my progress…we debated which was the coolest plane & so on…then his friends came…the played with abandon in the back yard…then they sat together & ate plates of salad & carrots, strawberries & chicken…a healthy robust meal for growing boys…the best moment was when my son & i filled his plate, counted & discussed the amount of carbs & insulin he would need (we always talk through it, even if i know what he needs i want him to be connected to the decisions regarding maintaining his health)…anyhow, between joking with his friends & picking his food we somehow checked his blood & gave hime his S-WORD & no one batter an eye or paused in the boyhood banter…then we came into the house to light candles & eat cake…we laughed, i of course made them all wait so i could take photographs….we sang & he blew out the candles…i passed cake to his friends & put a small slice on a plate for him…he looked at me & said mom i really don't feel like eating cake, but can i have 2 of the airplanes…ummm yes…you see he somehow instinctually has been rejecting unhealthy foods, in a way he didn't before his diagnosis…i let him pick out two planes & he had a couple of dried apricots instead (i had given him enough insulin for the cake but he didn't eat it, so he needed some extra carbs to make sure his ratio was correct)…the point is we had a year full of BEAUTIFUL celebrations & EXPERIENCES..a year full of blood drops & S-WORDS…& we did it together, as a family, hand in hand…heart to heart….& that is all that truly matters….
…last night before he went to bed i asked him two questions…
1st i asked "what is the worst thing about DIABETES?"
he replied (rather incredulously) "the shots"
2nd i asked "what is the best thing about DIABETES?"
he replied (with a bit of a giggle) "no-one messes with your food"
i laughed & kissed him and realized how we are still so much the same…
his sly wit is intact & our rapport is rich with our shared history…in contrast
to my initial judgement we actually are beginning to create a "new normal"…
most of all i am amazed by how strong & brave my son is…
he is certainly been able to handle all of the changes in his
young life better than i am…a brave sweet child…xoxo
thank you to KIRSTEN ELLIS for taking the sweet portraits of our family
a little more sweetness...
my girl….

love is beautiful…
today i am sending a heartfelt post to TORI & DEAN who are expecting their forth beautiful bundle of joy…i have been honored to photograph their blossoming family over the years…from wedding celebrations to baby bumps & beyond…check out some of their most intimate family moments on TORI's BLOG…motherhood is a tremendous journey….i love being a mother so much…i am so touched to have been included in TORI & DEAN's journey as parents over the years…sending them lots of love & hope they don't have too many sleepless nights…love is just so beautiful…xoxo

little kisses…
so many people i know are expecting right now….
it brings up such feelings of longing for me…now let
me be clear, i have a full house & i am oh so happy….

sweet lilt of a newborn in my arms….to all of you blessed
with a bun in the oven, i am thinking of you…& if you
come around me, can i please hold your baby??

Claim Jason Smith; Hochevar to Omaha
Some roster changes in the Majors and Minors for the Royals today.
Straight from the Media Relations department: The Royals claimed infielder Jason Smith off of waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Smith will suit up and be with the team in Cleveland on Friday. To make room for Smith, Cortez was DFA.
Smith, 29, is a .228 hitter in 195 Major League games. He was originally selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 23rd round of the 1996 June Free Agent Draft. Smith has played in the Cubs, Devil Rays, Tigers, Rockies, Blue Jays, and Diamondbacks organizations. He was Toronto's Rule 5 pick in 2006, and opened this season with the Blue Jays, batting .212 with four RBI in 27 games. The Blue Jays then designated Smith for assignment on May 14, where he was claimed by the Diamondbacks. He appeared in just two games with the D-backs before going on the D.L. with a burst appendix (ouch). In his most recent rehab assignment, Smith batted a combined .333 with four home runs and 15 RBI with Class AAA Tucson and Class A Visalia. Throughout his career, he's been all over the infield: 59 games at second base, 50 at short, 39 at third base and seven at first.
In other news…we also just announced that Luke Hochevar, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 June Free Agent Draft, is heading to Triple-A Omaha from Class AA Wichita. Sounds like he is scheduled to make his Omaha debut on Sunday against the Iowa Cubs (check out the first game of the series tomorrow on RSTN). Hochevar appeared in 17 games this season at Wichita, compiling a 3-6 record with a 4.69 ERA. He currently leads the Texas League with 94 strikeouts. Hochevar started for the North squad at the 2007 Texas League All-Star Game and recently pitched one scoreless inning for the U.S. team in the 2007 All-Star Futures Game in San Fran.
Thoughts on the J. Smith pick up? Backup for Grud…Pena…Gordon…Gload/Shealy/Butler? And, this obviously puts Hochevar just one step away from the big leagues…do we see him pitching at the Major League level this year?
4 Comments
I have it on good authority (the sports guys across the newsroom) that Hochevar will be in the bigs by the end of August. And Smith might be good to have around as backup, but you'd had to see him encroach on German's playing time now that German is swinging a bat of fire.
Hochevar should come up sooner. Change the Royals starting rotation to Meche, Bannister, Greinke, Soria, and Hochevar. The other starters are too unpredictable and too inconsistent. Put them in the bullpen.
I was looking at the Royals roster the other day, and I'm just wondering, how do you pronounce Joakim Soria's first name?
Wah-Keem Soria

Serie VNM
Serie VNL
Tight schedules. Frequent stops. Busy traffic. The demands of urban deliveries are high. But whatever your task, the VNM 200 knows its way around.
This lightweight truck is designed to help you excel in regional bulk or specialty hauling. And it's easily tailored to match your specific needs.
The shorter hood, 50-degree wheel cut, and panoramic windshield make driving a snap, especially in those tight areas in and around town. And even entry and exit are easy, thanks to offset steps and internal grab handles that stay clean and dry for no slips.
With Volvo's innovation in fuel efficiency and uptime, the VNM 200 is a truck you can rely on – helping you deliver on your promises every day.
The wedge-shaped hood and headlights. The recessed door handles. The streamlined sun visor. The sleek hood mirrors. Every detail has been designed to contribute to the outstanding aerodynamics of the VNM cabs.
A torque-strong Volvo engine perfectly matched to an intelligent I-Shift overdrive transmission – that's the base of the exceptionally efficient XE package. It's fully integrated so you can cruise at 65 mph at a mere 1,150 rpm – 200 rpm lower than an average truck – helping you lower fuel costs as much as 3%.
Great performance and great fuel economy – Eco-Torque offers the ultimate combination to drive savings to your bottom line. In the top two gears, the engine defaults to a lower torque curve to optimize fuel economy, while the higher torque is still available on demand when you need it. And with a simple software change, you can change torque ratings to put your Volvo truck to work in a new application.
I-Shift is the most intelligent automated manual transmission on the market. It automatically chooses the most fuel-efficient gear, and will often skip gears to help you stay in the sweet spot while getting to your cruise speed faster. Add the clever Eco-Roll function, saving fuel on downhill grades, and you've got yourself a transmission that will help you save fuel, mile after mile.
Learn more about I-Shift.
Volvo trucks are famous for their incredible ride. We've designed the whole truck to deliver comfort, from the stiffness of the frame to the geometry of the cab suspension – all integrated to stop unwanted forces and vibrations from reaching the cab. The result is a relaxing driver's environment where you'll feel refreshed, even after a full day behind the wheel.
Few things create as much stress and fatigue as working in a noisy environment. Thankfully, you won't find this in your Volvo truck. The high-strength steel cab of your VNM 200 is well insulated and features double-sealed doors and thick floor covering – all to keep exterior noise out, and making the interior as quiet as many passenger cars.
Ergonomics are crucial if you want to feel refreshed even after a full day. That's why we haven't compromised on the driving comfort of our cabs. All seats offer supreme back and lateral support, 7" fore-and-aft slide, front cushion adjustment, power air lumbar, rear cushion adjustment, and fore/aft isolation – and those are just the standard seats. In addition, the steering column and wheel telescope 4.5" and can be tilted a full 32 degrees – helping you find the perfect position for the most comfortable drive.
Learn more about the seats.
A quick glance is enough. The over-sized Driver Information Display tells you everything you need to know, including your fuel efficiency, trip mileage, battery voltage, and fluid levels. You can also set it to show the favorite gauges you like to see. And our unique Performance Bonus Display can give you real-time driving feedback to help you increase fuel economy. The interface is available in English, French and Spanish.
Want to know the secret behind the great driveability and superb efficiency of Volvo engines? Just look at the performance curves. Excellent torque even at low RPMs, with a broad range for maximum torque. You'll also see that peak torque overlaps peak power in the mid RPM range, helping you drive both performance and fuel economy. That means you'll notice the difference immediately, whether you work behind the wheel or behind the desk. And you have plenty of power options, from 325 to 500 hp.
Sit. Steer. And smile. Volvo's I-Shift automated manual transmission is more than the driver's preferred choice. It is also a real pleasure to drive. Intelligent electronics automatically put you in the right gear at the right time, letting you keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. Still, if you want to get more involved, you can. The buttons on the premium shift selector allow you to step in and shift manually.
Learn more about I-Shift.
It can happen. If you're in a crash, Volvo's passive safety wraps you in a cocoon of safety. Starting with our high-strength steel cab that exceeds the world's toughest cab safety tests. And in a frontal collision, the engine and transmission are designed to drop down and under the driver, while the steering column and dash absorb impact to help prevent injury. But don't forget that Volvo's standard active safety technologies can help you prevent that crash from ever happening.
Safety has always been Volvo's guiding star. In fact, we invented the 3-point seat belt that is now standard on every car and truck in North America. We are also the only ones to offer a driver's side airbag as standard on every Volvo model. Together, they reduce the chance of being injured in a crash. Nothing is more important.
Good visibility is crucial to avoid crashes. VNM cabs feature a panoramic, one-piece windshield, slim A-pillars, and sloping side windows, all to increase your field of vision. And our wipers use a crossover pattern to more effectively clear the windscreen of rain or snow.
Volvo Enhanced Stability Technology (VEST) is standard on your VNM 200. By monitoring several vehicle parameters, VEST can detect hazardous situations and help you keep control of the vehicle … sometimes before you even realize there's a problem. It automatically reduces engine torque and applies braking to individual wheel ends, to help you mitigate rollovers, jackknifes, or loss of control.
Learn more about VEST.
Volvo Enhanced Cruise (VEC) is Volvo's fully integrated radar-based system that helps you maintain a safe following distance in traffic. If you're following too close or a car cuts you off, a buzzer sounds while warning lights are displayed in the dash. And if you don't react in time, VEC can step in by de-throttling the engine and applying brakes – helping you avoid having a really bad day.
Drifting out of lane is a common cause of many crashes. Volvo's Lane Departure Warning is a sophisticated safety system that tracks the road markings with a windshield-mounted camera. Should you unintentionally drift out of the lane, it provides audible and visual alerts to get you back on track.
I-VEB, Volvo's unique integrated engine brake, is highly popular among Volvo drivers. And it's easy to see why. It offers extremely high retardation over the speed range (on the D13, it offers an impressive 310 HP at just 1,500 rpm), without the driver even having to touch the brake pedal. This can help you improve safety … and increase your brake service life.
Learn more about I-VEB.
Remote Diagnostics is an innovative service designed to help you keep your truck on the road and making you money. When a truck shows a fault code that needs our attention, it's immediately transmitted to our Customer Uptime Center. They diagnose the fault, contact the decision maker, find the nearest dealer, schedule repairs, confirm parts availability – dramatically reducing diagnostics and repair times. In fact, customers are saving as much as a full day per repair event.
Learn more about Remote Diagnostics.
An unplanned stop in the middle of nowhere? Volvo Action Service is there to help you. As soon as the driver calls, our skilled and highly-trained staff immediately set to work with one single mission – to help you get back on the road again as quickly as possible. Volvo Action Service is available 24/7, everywhere in the United States and Canada.
Learn more about Volvo Action Service.
ASIST is Volvo's web-based service communication platform. It lets you log in and view the full service history of your trucks and communicate directly with your dealer. You can also receive electronic estimates, approve repairs and issue a purchase order, regardless of the where your truck might be.
Learn more about Volvo Action Service.
You depend on your trucks to keep rolling – mile after mile, year after year. That's why we design our trucks to last, and build them only in the USA. We only choose the best available materials, parts, and assembly techniques. The premium quality of a Volvo helps you reduce the risk of unexpected repairs and lower your overall operating costs.
Volvo was the first to choose SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to meet EPA '10. With our integrated engine and aftertreatment solution, we returned our engines to full performance and fuel economy, while eliminating the need for active regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. That means there is no driver action needed. Nor will you have to park somewhere and perform a regen – losing precious time and fuel. All you have to do is drive.
Interested in buying a new Volvo? Start by talking to a skilled Volvo sales professional who can help you determine how to transform a truck into your ultimate transport solution. You'll start by talking about your business needs for today and tomorrow. Then together you'll spec the right truck to meet those needs, find the best financial deal, and the right coverage and service agreements to keep your truck performing at its best … mile after mile, year after year.
Whether you need a new fleet, a new part, or simply to schedule service—your Volvo dealer is here to help.

Ocean cargo/global logistics: Ag shippers release latest findings
June 13, 2010
APL was named the the top ranked player in the the 4th annual AgTC Ocean Carrier Performance Survey last week in San Francisco.
The AgTC initiated the Annual Survey in 2007 in order to address significant shortcomings on the part of some carriers in the area of documentation, specifically, timely and accurate bills of lading. In recent years, with the proliferation of government data collection requirements and commercial and financial demands—and the shifting volumes from imports to exports—carriers have faced new challenges.
"The objective of the AgTC Ocean Carrier Performance Survey is to recognize those carriers who consistently perform well, and to incent the others to focus their company, personnel and resources on doing better" said association spokesmen.
The AgTC has each year extended an invitation to each carrier to work with the AgTC and its members to address documentation and other performance practices, in order to improve them and enhance the shipper-carrier relationship.
According to spokesmen, a demonstration of positive potential of the survey has been the effort of Maersk to address documentation issues.
"Maersk met with ag shippers at the AgTC mid-year conference, established a documentation initiative, with dedicated personnel, and heard directly from the AgTC members, the specific documentation metrics required for the shipper to perform under their contracts to their foreign customers," said spokesmen.
The Confidential Survey asks each shipper to "assign a number that reflects your overall experience with the booking, equipment and space allocation, documentation and customer service practices of the carriers with whom you ship: 1. Among the best; 2. In the upper half; 3. In the bottom half; 4. Among the worst."
To calculate a score for each carrier, all the submissions are aggregated and averaged. The submissions of each participating shipper are completely confidential, and after the scores are calculated, all individual submissions are discarded.
The complete survey findings can be found on the AgTC's website: http://www.agrans.org
