A series of contradictory tweets and blog comments posted by members of an anti-transit group has observers wondering of there is dissension in its ranks — or whether one member simply has anger management issues.
Ever since an initiative put on the Nov. 8 ballot by the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was rejected by voters, someone with the group has vowed on various local blogs that it still would try to block Cincinnati's streetcar project.
It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
Streetcar proponents have spent considerably more on their campaign than the anti-streetcar people, probably because Issue 48 is so wide-reaching it has brought out people concerned with things way more important than the streetcar such as regional planning, commuter rail and making Cincinnati not look like it totally sucks.
Also being outspent are the SB 5 supporters, who have seen support decline dramatically in recent weeks as people look around their neighborhoods and see a bunch of regular people whose rights would be taken away. And Building a Better Ohio does unethical things like this, which makes people think they are meanies.
Here's a blog about City Council candidate Chris Smitherman arguing against all the legal experts who say Issue 48 will block all rail construction through 2020.
Based on the latest comments on his Facebook page, it appears Christopher Smitherman either doesn't understand the wording of Issue 48 or is deliberately trying to mislead voters.
On Wednesday, Smitherman wrote on his Facebook page: "Remember Issue 48 DOES not STOP light rail but it does force City Council to ask the citizens (sic) permission before spending $144 million. City Council does not want to ask the people (for) permission."
As several legal experts have agreed, Issue 48's net effect will be to stop the planning and construction of any type of passenger rail project within Cincinnati city limits until Dec. 31, 2020 — even if the project is privately financed.
The person who often ranks in polls as the most popular politician in Hamilton County is breaking with his Republican colleagues and is appearing in a new radio commercial urging a "no" vote on Issue 48.
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. asks residents to oppose the anti-streetcar initiative that was placed on the ballot by the NAACP's local chapter and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). The commercial will begin airing Wednesday during the morning drive time period on WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM), two stations with predominately conservative, Republican audiences.
Here's how The Enquirer describes an Ohio Supreme Court decision allowing Democrats to challenge a ridiculous Republican attempt to unfairly redraw Congressional districts: "Court ruling throws 2012 elections into chaos." Here's the same report by WLWT, minus the drama: "Ohio Supreme Court Allows Redistricting Challenge."
Although the current leader of the NAACP's local chapter is trying to block Cincinnati's planned streetcar system, two former leaders of the organization are coming out in support of the system in a big way.
Milton W. Hinton and Judge Nathaniel R. Jones have endorsed a "no" vote on Issue 48, the proposed anti-rail charter amendment that will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot in Cincinnati.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "Do you support or oppose the city's streetcar system as currently planned and financed?"
Mark Miller isn't a subtle guy.
Miller, treasurer of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), recently apologized publicly after using the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to tweet a comment comparing the attacks to a political battle about the planned Cincinnati streetcar system.
Now Miller has posted an altered photograph on his Facebook page that some people believe is racist. The photo depicts a streetcar filled with young African-American males brandishing weapons. The streetcar has a sign that reads, "Banks & Freedom Center Only."

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9) -- The Prince George's county serial murderer known as the "mother-daughter killer" was given an additional sentence Wednesday that prosecutors say guarantees he will die in prison.
Thirty-year old Jason Scott was given a life sentence with all but 85-years suspended for the murders of mother and daughter Delores and Ebony DeWitt in March of 2009. Scott had made an Alford plea in the case in which he admits no guilt but concedes prosecutors have the evidence for a conviction.
The sentence comes in addition to a 100-year federal sentence for related crimes, and ensures he will never be released, according to Prince George's County State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks.
Scott terrorized Prince George's County in 2008 and 2009. He used his part time job at a UPS sorting facility to access computer records and identify victims.
In all, investigators say he was responsible for at least five murders, one sexual assault, 37 burglaries or home invasions, two arsons, a gun store heist and related crimes.
After the DeWitt murders, police swarmed Largo for weeks and made hundreds of traffic stops in an attempt to catch Scott.
He was caught when a federal informant purchased a stolen gun from him. A resulting search warrant uncovered evidence of what one judge called Scott's "tsunami" of crime.
The bodies of Delores and Ebony DeWitt were found March 16, 2009 in a burning stolen car in Largo. Evidence showed they had been killed in their home.
Prosecutors say Scott is responsible for the January 2009 killings of mother and daughter Karen and Karissa Lofton inside their home about a mile from the DeWitt's residence. He is also the alleged killer of Vilma Butler, whose body was found in her Bowie home after it was set afire, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors say they will not attempt to try Scott for the killings of the Loftons or Ms. Butler to spare families from the emotional trauma of trials.
Families of the victims made no comments after Wednesday's sentencing.

Goodguys 20th Annual East Coast Nationals Rhinebeck - East Coast CoolWritten by Chuck Vranas on December 1, 2011
For rodders, there's nothing like setting course through the picturesque winding country roads leading to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, New York, to take in the Goodguys East Coast Nationals. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, it's an event that showcases not only the finest in rods and customs the East has to offer, but also its culture and history. When you finally motor into town you'll immediately note the classic architecture that frames the quaint little town of Rhinebeck. Loaded with historical sites, it's a place where time seems to stand still, making it a refreshing change of pace from the everyday rat race. Even before making your way to the event there are countless points of interest that you should be sure to check out, including the vast collection of vintage aircraft from the Pioneer, World War I, and the Lindbergh/Barnstorming eras at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Weather permitting, you might even have a chance at taking a Barnstorming flight in a '29 New Standard D-25 open-cockpit biplane over the scenic Hudson River.
Arriving at the event, Goodguys always rolls out the red carpet to its attendees and this year was no exception. For the 20th year, the Dutchess County Fairgrounds welcomed visitors to check out an endless array of the finest rods, customs, classic trucks, and muscle cars in the Northeast. After stopping by and getting your credentials, you entered the heart of the fairgrounds, which offered countless, well-designed, tree-lined cruising roads and plenty of opportunity to get settled within its vast confines. Once settled in it was time to get out and tune into many of the finer points of interest, including hundreds of vendors showcasing plenty of their latest wares to outfit your rod or custom with cutting-edge technology. When the need to feed hit, there were loads of vendors hawking just the right combination of fried goods, and cold beverages, giving you loads of energy to check out the expansive car corral and swap meet area. Sure it wouldn't be Rhinebeck if it didn't rain (which it did for a bit), but dedicated attendees didn't let that alter their plans for a weekend of fun and excitement. With weather in the 70s and 80s, it was perfect for taking the kids for a stop over to the Make-n-Take model build area or take a break while jamming to the live entertainment by Crimson Tears who ripped it up during the day and evening at the Saturday night hot rod party and dance. There were loads of rods and customs in attendance, covering all different types of build styles, from traditional to slick high-tech rides with just enough primered cars to keep it real. On Saturday there were a number of special parking areas to showcase various categories, including the Builders Choice, Homebuilt Heaven, and Young Guys, to name but a few. These areas are always a hotbed of activity for everyone to check out between 7 a.m. to noon. With the rolling topography of the fairgrounds there were plenty of unique areas to visit as you walked the event, including hot rod hill to take in some of the most bitchin' traditional rods and customs of the weekend. There was even a display of vintage fire trucks in attendance showcasing restored vehicles from the horse and buggy era all the way into the '60s.
This year there were plenty of standouts to dig, like Keith Goettlich's '37 Chevy that was just plain bitchin' with its dramatic Westergard styling, Jon Schuchart's '26 Ford roadster was pure soup-job packed with a '55 Merc V-8, and Dick Applegate's downright evil '41 Willys filled with a 528ci Hemi mill. By the time Sunday afternoon arrived, it was time for Goodguys extensive awards program to blast off, bringing a fun-filled weekend to completion. If you haven't yet experienced the magic of the Goodguys East Coast Nationals, mark your calendars for 2012 to experience firsthand what everyone in the Northeast considers one of the finest events around.
Painless Performance Products presents Street Rodder TOP 100
For the Top 100 program, Street Rodder attends 10 particular car shows each year and picks 10 vehicles at each to make up the Top 100. For more on where those shows are and how they're voted on, check StreetRodder.com.
Tech Tip
Voltage Drop
Voltage drop is common in vehicles when too small gauge of wire is used to power accessories. Bad connections can also cause voltage drop as well as a switch that isn't designed to carry enough amperage for an accessory. Check the output of the alternator and compare it to your voltmeter; they should be within a tenth of a volt for best performance.
Best Ford in a Ford
Tom Weisman,
Poughkeepsie, NY
'40 Ford DeLuxe coupe
With the fairgrounds packed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Goodguys East Coast Nationals, it was a perfect time for Street Rodder and Ford Racing's recognition of Street Rodders who install a late-model Ford engine in a Ford hot rod. A thorough cruise through the event led us to Tom Weisman of Poughkeepsie, New York, who is the latest award recipient with his cool '40 Ford coupe, fitted with a 302ci Ford Racing crate V-8 linked to a Ford C4 transmission. Breathing deep through an Edelbrock intake and matching 650-cfm carb, it was dressed up with just enough chrome accents. The coupe sits on an original spine updated with a Ford 9-inch rear out back and IFS up front for smooth handling. Rolling on vibrant wheels from TQ capped with BFGoodrich wide whites, a razor-sharp body was treated to just enough navy blue pearl accented by vibrant red pinstriping. Inside, a comfy bench was covered with yards of dazzling white vinyl while business is handled by a Lokar shifter along with a Flaming River tilt column topped with a classic banjo-style wheel to set the course. For added comfort, Vintage Air keeps the cabin cool while Pioneer keeps the tunes cranking and VDO gauges monitor the vitals. Congratulations to Tom Weisman who will receive a Limited Edition jacket as the award winner.

PCC in the News
News: Shiba's Pitching Stands Out In 4-3 Loss to Victor Valley
The Pasadena City College baseball team seems to have a gem of a starter in freshman knuckleballer Tim Shiba. The question is will the team be able to give him enough run support? Such was not the case Saturday as Shiba's complete-game, 9-hitter resulted in a 4-3 loss by the Lancers against visiting Victor Valley College. The game was played at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.
Shiba (1-1) already has the team's lone pitching victory and he has allowed only 16 hits in 16 innings pitched thus far for a 3.38 ERA. Shiba (pictured) allowed just two singles over the final five innings and kept his team in the game.
Victor Valley took a 4-3 lead in the fifth without benefit on a hit. Shiba hit Richard Gala with a knuckler. Gala stole second and then was moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. Thomas McCarty then knocked in Gala with a sac fly to left field.
PCC scored all three of its runs in the bottom of the fourth inning keyed by a two-run double by centerfielder Charles Smith. Although five of the Lancers' nine hits went for doubles, the team continued an early season trend of leaving runners in scoring position. Catcher Cameron Silva and second baseman Cody Van-Es both had 2-hit performances while the team left seven runners on base.
The Lancers' base running also struggled as two runners were thrown out stealing. In the third inning, an opportunity was thwarted when Van-Es doubled down the left field line and shortstop Josh Clark tried to score all the way from first. Clark was cut down on a relay throw to home that ended the rally.
The Rams (2-4) received brilliant relief pitching by winning pitcher Nick Roberts (four innings, three hits, no runs) and closer Fernando Ortega (1-2-3 ninth with two strikeouts).
The Lancers (1-4) have lost three straight games, including an 11-4 loss at Grossmont (Feb. 5) and a rough 16-2 thumping handed to them by host Irvine Valley (Feb. 7). Pasadena's starting pitchers were knocked out in the second inning v. Grossmont and the first inning v. IVC. For Irvine Valley, Dallas Porter slugged a grand slam dinger in the third inning that gave the Lasers a 12-0 lead at that point.
PCC will next be in action Tuesday, Feb. 12 when it travels for a 2 p.m. non-conference game at Oxnard College.

Bicentennial birthday
Presidency | Exactly 200 years after Lincoln's birth, it seems that the Great Emancipator still has hold of the nation's heart
In 1860, soon after he had learned that Republicans had nominated someone named Lincoln from Illinois to be the party's presidential candidate, a 51-year-old Philadelphia lawyer named Sidney George Fisher wrote in his diary: "I never heard of him before . . . he has a difficult task before him, requiring much firmness, prudence, large views, and courage."
Five years later, upon hearing word of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Fisher wrote he felt like he had lost a personal friend: "[F]or indeed I have and so has every honest man in the country. He was indeed the great man of the period . . . [he] won all hearts."
In that short time frame Lincoln had helped save the nation and expand its meaning of liberty.
Exactly 200 years after Lincoln's birth, with nearly 16,000 published books (and counting) on the 16th president's life, its seems that the Great Emancipator still has hold of the nation's heart.
Today, as events in all 50 states celebrate the bicentennial of Lincoln's Feb. 12 birth, the life of the tall but gaunt, sometimes awkward but usually genial storyteller who harbored a soft shade of melancholy still holds lessons for the nation he helped preserve.
His life is relatable and inspiring to many Americans who face tragedy and sorrow, says Michael Burlingame, author of a new two-volume Lincoln biography.
The list of obstacles Lincoln overcame is indeed Job-like: Born into poverty he endured the death of his mother at age 9 as well as the early deaths of two siblings. His father was unsympathetic and distant. He had less than one year of formal education and suffered a series of career failures. He endured bouts of depression so severe friends feared he was suicidal. He endured an unhappy marriage and the deaths of two children. He oversaw a war that killed more than half a million of his fellow countrymen.
Yet he taught himself law. He taught himself politics. He taught himself how to be commander in chief.
He overcame his troubles to lead the nation through its darkest period using such enduring speeches as the Gettysburg Address and his address for his second inauguration.
"Lincoln represents the possibility in America that anybody can rise," said Ronald C. White, author of the recently published A. Lincoln.
Both White and Burlingame agree that the fallow periods in Lincoln's life turned him from a small-town lawyer and local politician into the great statesman the country needed during the Iliad of the nation's history.
Through it all, White said, Lincoln developed a deep moral center in his life and grew to take faith in a Biblical pattern of reconciliation and forgiveness that he hoped the nation might embrace at the end of the Civil War.
Lincoln's spiritual odyssey saw him grow from skeptic and scoffer to a president who mentioned God 14 times, quoted the Bible four times, and invoked prayer three times in his second inaugural address.
As the war waged on, compounded by the personal loss of his son Willie in 1862, Lincoln wrestled with the questions of how God could allow the war in the first place and then let it go on and on with so many deaths leading to so many widows and orphans.
He put this internal debate into words on a scrap of paper that he never intended to be published in his Meditation on the Divine Will. Ultimately answered the question, according to Burlingame, in his second inaugural speech where he says the "ways of the Lord are righteous and just all together."
White, whose book is currently on the New York Times bestseller list, says the Lincoln of 1865 had a much greater appreciation of God's power, of Biblical Providence, and of a God who has a personality, who loves and who acts in history.
Burlingame, who spent more than a decade researching and writing Abraham Lincoln: A Life, said Lincoln's story has come full circle today with the recent rise to the White House of Barrack Obama: "Lincoln would be delighted to see that a black man-who like him, is from Illinois, is articulate, served in the state legislature and briefly in Congress-was able to rise to the highest office in the land. In a way it is a fulfillment of the emancipation movement Lincoln helped spearhead."
The life of Lincoln should be instructive to today's politicians, Burlingame and White both agree.
He could disagree without being disagreeable. He declined to quarrel or demonize the opposition and took almost nothing personally.
"He refused to let his own ego get in the way of carrying out his oath of office," Burlingame said.
In a reply to a young Union captain who had been grumbling about his superior officers, Lincoln wrote in 1863: "No man determined to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention."
Lincoln believed you start with humility, not arrogance, and that one must be willing both to listen and use inclusive language in seeking reconciliation.
"He imputed the best possible motives to those who were reputed to be opponents or even enemies," White said
Finally, he is still relevant today because his words endure. They are not stuck in time. White said Lincoln had an ability to think into the future.
In his annual message to Congress in December 1862, Lincoln wrote, "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present. As our case is new so we must think anew, and act anew."
As Congress, the White House, and the nation face their own battles with a spiraling economy, job losses, wars in two countries, and the threat of future attacks from Islamic extremists, Lincoln's words can be useful.
"Lincoln taught us that every generation has to redefine America for its own time," White said.

SHADYSIDE - The Shadyside Tigers feel as if they have potential.
They come into every season knowing the expectations that surround the program, which has played for two state titles, won four OVAC crowns and qualified for the postseason in every season except one since the turn of the century.
Tigers coach Mark Holenka begins his fourth season at the helm of his alma mater knowing that potential and expectations don't mean a thing because every team has those in August.
''Sometimes it can be tough to pick up right where you left off,'' Holenka said. ''Our starting point is a little progressed from where we were last year, but our starting point is where our ending point was. We've shortened the distance to get to the peak since our starting point is a little further along, but we've still got a long way to go.''
The last time the Tigers strapped up the pads in a meaningful game, they were on the opposite end of a 49-7 shellacking at the hands of Berlin Center Western Reserve in the Division VI, Region 21 championship game at New Philadelphia's Quaker Stadium. That capped a 9-4 campaign.
Gone from that squad due to graduation are OVAC All-Star and All-Ohioan Matt Hammond, Dylan Merryman, Mason Gulash, Jacob Clark, Kyle Shepherd, Hunter McPherson and Donnie Heath.

While they weren't necessarily large in number, the class of 2012 played vital roles in the success of the Tigers the last couple of seasons, which now creates holes that Holenka and his staff must deal with.
''We've got talent, but we don't have talent at every place you need it,'' Holenka said. ''At several positions, it's feast or famine, so we're going to need certain kids to step up and take on a bigger role than they've had in the past. I think where we're good, we could be dang good, but where we're questionable ... they're true question marks.''
The Tigers' senior class, which measures 12 for this season, has been a part of 28 victories since arriving on the scene when Holenka was hired for the job.
''Since I've been here, both as an assistant and now as head coach, I think each (senior) group wants to see that the winning tradition carries on,'' Holenka said. ''Senior leadership is always important because the senior class doesn't want to be the one that didn't succeed like the others in the past. Plus our fans are rabid and want us to win every game. But those fans propel or motivate you to exceed expectations.''
To help gain that experience quicker, Shadyside faced three Buckeye 8 members (Indian Creek, Union Local and Martins Ferry) in its scrimmages as it prepares for Friday's trip to Strasburg.
''Those scrimmages were designed to show us if we needed to change the bolts and screws or just tighten them up,'' Holenka said.
Shadyside features an impressive collection of talent at the skill positions.
Battling for the quarterback job have been senior Chase Kinemond (6-foot-1, 175 pounds) and sophomore Austin Dorris (6-5, 205).
Kinemond was the quarterback for much of the season last year until a torn ACL put him on the shelf for the balance of the season. Prior to the injury, he had passed for 806 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also ran for 547 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Dorris, meanwhile, played admirably in the balance of the second-round playoff game against Western Reserve for being thrown into the fire.
Whomever isn't playing quarterback will shift to the outside and be one of the Tigers' receivers.
Sophomore Luke Nardo (5-10, 150) and freshman Cole Tiger (5-8, 130) are the other quarterbacks listed on the roster.
While known as a passing team first, Shadyside has had success running the ball the last few years.
The team's leading rusher returns to handle the tailback chores and is the game breaker. Diminutive senior Brooks Ramsey (5-5, 150) ran for 1,149 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
He'll be joined in the backfield by senior Alex Quinn (6-0, 170) and junior Chris Littell (5-9, 181), who had scored seven touchdowns in six games before going down with a season-ending injury last season.
Sophomore Eric Howell (6-1, 185) is another who could see carries this season.
Other running backs vying for time include sophomore Matt Krupa (5-11, 175), freshmen Brett Kahl (6-0, 140) and Austin Allen (5-7, 135).
On the outside, the Tigers also boast several key returnees who had impressive seasons in 2011.
Senior Cody Hudson (6-2, 180) will line up on one side after making 23 receptions for 495 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Dorris made six receptions from his tight end spot last season and with his frame will be one of the Tigers' go-to-guys should he not be playing quarterback.
Senior Ian Baker (5-8, 165) has developed into another solid option and he'll be relied upon heavily. Junior Robert Newhart (5-10, 140) is another who's been solid in camp and could see valuable action.
''We're pretty solid at receiver, but we don't have that one burner who can just light it up like we've had in the past,'' Holenka said.
Sophomore Scott Hammond (6-0, 170) could see time on the flanks, tight end or could move into the offensive line rotation if need be.
Senior Dillon Tomlinson (5-8, 135) is also seeking action at receiver.
Also vying for time are juniors Jake Haswell (5-10, 130) and Jake Duvall (6-0, 160); sophomores Zach Vaughn (5-4, 130), Logan Price (5-7, 150), Wyatt Skapik (5-4, 105) and Bryce Clark (5-10, 154).
The ultimate key to the season lies in the trenches.
Like so many prep teams, Shadyside feels it's got plenty of options to catch and run the ball, but giving time and opening holes is a concern.
''The lines, on both sides of the ball, are the big keys for us,'' Holenka said. ''If those kids can mature, come along and play with a sense of urgency, then I believe we can be a decent football team if we continue to progress like we did last year. We've got two seasoned quarterbacks, but if they don't have time to breath, it doesn't matter. We have to maintain the comfort level for our quarterback, and if we can do that, I really believe we'll be in great shape.''
The Shadyside line is led by two returning starters in junior Zach Meadows (5-10, 225) and senior Branden Krock (6-3, 190). Meadows will serve as the center.
Junior Cory Banco (6-2, 250) was a part-time starter and saw a lot of action up front and is ticketed to take over a full-time role this season.
''We've got depth galore up front, so we just have to see who is going to separate themselves and take a job,'' Holenka said.
Junior Hunter Hammond (5-9, 230), sophomore Jacob Spencer (5-9, 285), sophomore Colton Campbell (6-3, 220), senior Jake Schramm (5-5, 160) and sophomore Eli Henderson (6-3, 255) were locked in a battle for the other starting jobs.
''We've got some options, but whoever is going to win those jobs are going to be pups,'' Holenka said. ''We could see ourselves being able to do some platooning.''
Seniors seeking to contribute to the line are Von Adams (5-7, 170), John Higgins (5-8, 280), Kevin Balk (5-6, 189) and Lucas Watson (6-1, 280). Juniors Justin Wagner (5-10, 190) and Devin Stillion (5-7, 175) also supply depth.
''We've got a knowledgeable group offensively, so it's not really a work-in-progress, but a work in how far we're going to progress beyond where we've been,'' Holenka said.
On the defensive side of the ball, Holenka thinks the Tigers' key will be in the front four.
''We've got talent at our linebacking crew, but we have to let those guys have an opportunity to make some tackles,'' Holenka said. ''We can't have our defensive line getting pushed back into our backers, then we should be OK. I like the defense because I know what I am getting out of most of the guys, but can our linebacker play sustain with so many new faces on the line? That's something we'll have to see.''
At the defensive end, Holenka believes Howell and Hammond will hold down those spots. Meadows, Banco and Krock are amongst the guys battling for the defensive tackle spots.
Quinn is moving into one of the linebacking jobs where he'll join Dorris and Littell. Both Dorris and Littell started games at backer last season.
The Tigers' biggest strength on the defensive side is in the secondary. Kinemond returns at free safety, while Baker, who Holenka says is the ''vocal leader of the defense and coach on the field,'' returns at strong safety.
Tomlinson and Ramsey are battling for the cornerback job opposite of Hudson, who is also a returning starter.
Others Holenka feels could make an impact defensively are Newhart and Nardo, who Holenka says is ''very football smart.''
Shadyside also returns one of the area's steadiest placekickers in Hudson, who will also take over the punting duties because doctors have advised Kinemond against punting after the knee operation.
Littell and Price are both back after seeing time at long snapper a season ago.
As has become an annual rite of spring in Shadyside, Holenka and then Athletic Director Gary Cunningham had trouble filling the 10-game schedule.
Gone from the 2011 slate are Imani Christian Academy, which handed the Tigers a setback, Southington Chalker and Fairfield Christian Academy.
They've been replaced by Linsly, Toronto and Buckeye Trail. The meeting with the Red Knights came to fruition because Chalker had scheduled two opponents for the same week and opted out of the contract with Toronto, creating the opening.
''With the schedule we've got, I am hoping for a winning season,'' Holenka said. ''I think the schedule is pretty loaded. Monroe Central will be good, Wheeling Central and Linsly will both be tough games for us, Beallsville has a four-year quarterback, Toronto is beefing up its schedule for good reason, so they'll be tough, too.''
Shadyside's coaching staff is primarily the same. Former Ohio Valley Greyhounds player Wilkie Perez is on the staff after moving back to the Ohio Valley from Florida. Returning are Mark Bonar, Gregg Bonar, John Grinch, Jeff Campbell, B.A. Holloway, David Bonar, Chase Grinch, Randy Merryman, Kurt Glasser, Bryce Allen and Eric Krupa.

Woodbury County Supervisors Looking At Budget Shortfall
(Sioux City) -- Woodbury County Supervisors convened their 2013 budget hearings with a notice from budget analyst Dennis Butler that the county was looking at a projected $2.6 million shortfall. The county had previously told departments that they hoped to allow a two percent increase in their budgets for the coming July 1st fiscal year. Butler says the county is looking at a "worse case" projection and has some options for the budget, which totals about $54 million.
Listen to
Supervisors trimmed around $30,000 of that shortfall on Tuesday, including a two percent increase requested by non-county social service agencies like the Council on Sexual Assault. Butler says city tax increment financing also puts a strain on the county by reducing property tax revenues.
Listen to
Butler says there's also a gap involving proposed replacement of aging rural bridges. Public hearings are scheduled beginning January 16th in Anthon to determine if rural residents are willing to pay higher taxes to help replace those bridges. Those meetings all take place at 6:00 p.m. starting January 16th at the Anthon Community Center, January 17th at the County Secondary Roads Building in Moville and January 23rd at the Salix Community Center.
Legislative Committee Looks At Voting Rules
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A legislative committee is looking into a proposed new rule that establishes a process for removing voters from registration rolls if they can't prove citizenship.
Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is pushing the rule saying it's needed because he believes people who are not U.S. citizens are registering to vote in Iowa.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement and other civil rights groups oppose the rule saying it intimidates minority voters especially Latino immigrants.
The ACLU also says Schultz doesn't have the legal authority to pass the rule himself, instead it should be considered by the Legislature.
The Administrative Rules Review Committee is scheduled to hear input on the rule at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday.

Iowa State Patrol Reducing The Number Of "Unmarked" Vehicles
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa State Patrol is putting logos and emergency light bars on previously unmarked cars in an effort to increase its presence.
The administrative change was ordered by new Department of Public Safety Commissioner K. Brian London. It means there will be new equipment atop half of the 70 previously unmarked cars.
A patrol spokesman says the move is aimed at increasing law enforcement visibility on state roads. And it's also aimed at encouraging people to obey the speed limit better.
Each district will retain an unmarked vehicle, and others will keep two.
State School Board Looking For Student Member
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are looking for the next high school student to apply for a special position on the State Board of Education.

Each time you shave, you expose the delicate tissue of your face to rigid metal razorblades. The closer the shave, the greater the friction produced, putting you at greater risk for nicks, cuts and chaffing. Daily shaving has the potential to lead to chronic irritation, pain, and unsightly bumps on the skin. The Jack Black Men After Shave collection was designed to help heal and soothe your skin even after the closest of shaves.
The products in the Jack Black Men After Shave line use natural herbs to help condition and nourish skin that is irritated and raw from shaving. The leading men's skin care experts at Jack Black created the Jack Black Men After Shave range specifically to increase the overall health of the skin. In addition to their moisturizing and nourishing properties, the products in the Jack Black Men After Shave line protect the skin to reduce the amount of irritation caused by future shaves. The after shave collection features fragrance free formulations, allowing you to still wear your favorite men's fragrance after using the soothing products.
Sooth your skin and protect it from future irritation with the Jack Black Men After Shave collection. Using the healing power of natural herbs, this lineup of skin-healthy products reverses damage done by razorblades, leaving your skin tone more even and its texture smooth and supple.
The Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel conditions your skin with a blend of natural ingredients completely free of alcohol and fragrances. The environmentally-friendly, vegan formulation combines cool aloe leaf extract with chamomile and witch hazel to reduce redness and swelling, making your face more comfortable and your skin tone more even.
A blend of sage and rosemary herbs and lavender flowers speed up the healing process and eliminate bacteria that can invade damaged tissue and result in the infections that cause acne and razor bumps. These natural elements also disinfect nicks and cuts and aid in their healing. Antioxidant-rich balm mint in the formulation prevents your skin from damage from the free radicals in the environment that make your skin leathery and contribute to aging. Allantoin and glycerin give the gel the power to impart moisture into your skin, battling flaking and dryness year round.
The Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel slides on smooth and has a lightweight formula that will not make your skin appear shiny or greasy. Not only is the gel effective for alleviating shaving irritation, but it also can help soothe painful sunburns through its nourishing blend of ingredients. The gel comes in a 3.3 ounce bottle.

And the reviews are in:
"…this reg turned in Excellent performance on the breathing simulator, earning perfect work of breathing scores when subjected to our standard reg tests." - ScubaLab
See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: Atomic M1 Monel Regulator Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
I do a lot of wreck diving in warmer water off the NC coast. I am comparing the Atomic M1, Atomic Z2X and the ScubaPro Titan Legend LX. Can you recommend the best one for the money? I rarely will dive in water colder than 55 degrees. I am planning on using Nitrox as well in the future. Thank you
The Legend and Titan are Aqualung products and are 2 different models of 1st Stage. Atomic makes extremely high quality products but the only reason to go with the M1 would be if you are planning on engaging in mixed-gas diving. The Atomic regulators all share the same internal parts with the materials they are made of being the difference. The performance will be next to identical, so the Z2X would be the regulator to choose based on your questions.
I do mostly public safety diving in zero visibility (muddy water) with great extremes in water temperature (up to ice diving). Which would you recommend of the atomic m1 and apeks xtx 200. thanks
Atomic Aquatics M1 Regulator
Why Monel?
The M1 employs state-of-the-art metals specifically chosen for extreme diving situations. Monel parts are used internally in the first stage for high strength, corrosion-resistance and oxygen compatibility. 316 Stainless Steel, multi-layer Zirconium coated Brass, and Titanium are used throughout the second stage. The M1 valve body is Zirconium/Nickel over Brass and the seat saving orifice is Stainless Steel.
Designed For Challenging Conditions
Engineered by Atomic for specialty diving – rec or tech
The M1 has an expanded performance range to meet almost any diving condition imaginable, whether Recreational or Technical. Accomplished specialty divers will appreciate this regulator designed to fulfill virtually any need or diving scenario. The M1 is built on the same platform as the world acclaimed T2 and B2 regulators.
First Stage:
Factory ready for Nitrox to 50% or oxygen mixes to 80% when special guidelines are followed
First stage materials are chrome plated Brass for the body and Monel for key internal components
Atomic Jet Seat high-flow piston first stage
Freeze protected factory-sealed first stage also prevents contamination such as silt and sand
First stage ports: 2 HP fixed / 5 LP on swivel cap
Second Stage:
Designed for cold water diving featuring thermal heat sink and improved super-dry exhaust valve
Second stage components are made of precision machined Brass with Zirconium plating and Titanium
Patented Atomic Seat Saving Orifice

Rapid adjustment knob for manual second stage de-tuning in special situations
Surge protected second stage front cover for high current scenarios
Super-wide exhaust deflector to disperse bubbles for enhanced visibility
Dual silicone comfort fit mouthpiece with tear-resistant bite tabs
2 year/300 dive service interval
Limited Lifetime Warranty – not contingent on proof of service
Here are some important answers to frequent questions regarding Atomic regulators...
What is Natural Breathing?
Atomic Aquatics has achieved what no other manufacturer has in a high-performance regulator – Natural Breathing. All Atomic regulators breathe with a natural and controlled air delivery sensation at any depth or breathing rate. Inhalation on the surface will feel the same as it does during your deepest dive. This is in part due to the AFC (Automatic Flow Control) employed in our second stages. This patented innovation is a simple device that adjusts the airflow automatically to compensate for the effects of depth. Atomic Aquatics regulators are the smoothest breathing regulators available...period.
What are the diving benefits of Titanium?
First, it is unbelievably lightweight which reduces stress during your dive and makes it a perfect travel regulator. Second, Titanium has no equal for corrosion resistance which means more safety, reliability and repeatable performance. And finally, its beautiful appearance stands apart from any other regulator.
Unparalleled light weight means less stress
In our mission to invigorate the diving experience, the first priority is on reducing stress – travel stress, gearing-up stress, jaw-clinch stress. The best way is to use the lightest material possible. But light weight must never compromise strength or durability. Titanium is the perfect solution. When you hold a Titanium Atomic regulator in your hand, you immediately realize the difference from other regulators. That means less stress for you from packing your gear bag, to donning, to even the final minutes of a long dive.
The Atomic M1 is geared towards those divers who like to mix up their breathing gasses and maybe push the limits a little bit. It is enriched air compatible up to 80% oxygen due to the combination of internal parts made from Monel, a metal widely known for its corrosion resistance, very high strength and most importantly very low friction rate making it extremely oxygen compatible. This gives it the same extreme high quality in construction being combined with state of the art, cutting edge materials still at a quite reasonable price compared to other choices in the category. The addition of a swivel cap on the first stage for the low pressure ports offers the diver high performance, cutting edge technology and unmatched comfort in the various potential configuration possibilities.
Internally this first stage delivers consistent air to the diver with a balanced flow-through piston that will offer the same intermediate pressure with each breath at the deepest depths or lowest tank pressures of your dive. The high pressure piston uses a seal system that is self lubricating that is designed to minimize the friction in this critical part and reduce wear and tear and in turn maintenance costs for the regulators owner
And as if all of this technology and innovation in the Atomic 1st Stages wasn't enough, their 2nd Stages are packed with one feature after the next all geared towards ease of breathing, longevity of the piece of equipment and low maintenance. The M1 uses an adjustable, pneumatically balanced poppet incorporated into a portion of the regulator that many manufacturers are looking for ways to cut corners and reduce costs in materials. Here, Atomic leads the way by using Titanium, Zirconium, Stainless Steel and Kevlar in all the key common metal parts. For most manufacturers that would the highlights to every single advertisement and mention of this product, but not with Atomic. They pressed on with redesigning two other important pieces in the 2nd stage that turned out to be so successful they were awarded patents for their efforts! The Seat Saving Dynamic Orifice was designed to reduce wear and tear on the low pressure seat and in turn increase the high performance of the second stage for the diver by making sure the orifice only comes into contact with the low pressure seat when the regulator is pressurized. The other innovation is their Automatic Flow Control. Most every manufacturer of regulators offer some sort of a venturi switch in their second stages designed to reduce breathing resistance and help with the opening of the valve that delivers air to the diver when they inhale. At Atomic they've perfected this into a pressure sensing, self-adjusting device that regulates the delivery of the diver's air with every breath adjusting for increased pressure the deeper the diver descends. No more switches or dials to get that perfect breath of air!
With all of this innovation and technology packed into the M1, it is no wonder that this regulator is seen as a "must have" by many technical divers around the world and probably will for years to come.

The Kansas City Curling Club is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit Organization, whose main objective is to promote the sport of curling across the greater Kansas City area. Our club coordinates curling activities for people of all ages by offering instruction, training, practice and league play by providing equipment and ice rentals. This foundation gives our curlers the means to become competitive athletes on the regional, national and international stage. Locally, the club hosts an annual Bonspiel Curling Tournament much like most curling clubs do when we travel to them. This event has attracted curlers from all corners of the United States (i.e. Seattle, New York, Texas), as well as several Canadian teams from Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
Having maintained a more than 10 year continuous track record of programs, our current longer-term goal is to build a dedicated curling facility taking our 501(c)3 organization to the next level. This curling facility will allow us to expand curling to 7 days a week as well as expand programs to differing groups and levels of experience of various junior, high-school, university, adult, and senior leagues, among others. This would make our club the only dedicated ice curling facility within a 350 mile radius.
In order to help us achieve our goal of a dedicated curling facility, we would greatly appreciate any financial support to curling in Kansas City you can provide. All donations are tax deductible.
More importantly, we want you to give this sport a try. We hope to see you on the ice!
