Very nice goat!!! Congrats!!
Here is a picture of my antelope buck shot this past weekend with my bow. We have been watching this antelope for about 3 years now and I was unable to get him last fall, not for lack of trying though! He green scores at 74" I'm pretty happy with him as he's the biggest goat I have shot. We call him 'Curly'. My dog also found one of his 'sheds' from last year too so that is really neat!
Very nice goat!!! Congrats!!
Good job! Very unique horns.
Good looking speed goat.......congratulations!

Schwertfeger: Police Department Adapting Well to Changes
January 13, 2013
WHEELING — If he didn't know better, Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger might believe his department's switch from two officers to one per patrol car took place years ago, not last week....
Good job in the transition. This change was long over due.
7.3 million budget. Whats that come out to be, about 300-500 per person. How come we cant get an officer to write up vandalism reports

Everyone is concerned about police safety. They are also concerned about public safety, which is the primary reason for having police in the first place.
Every other police organization in the country affords the command structure the opportunity to decide how to deploy resources. The life of the citizen that is saved by having greater resources flexibility counts for something in the process too.

Perfect. Didn't know if my group would be alone down there.
One of my hawkeye friends gave me his tickets...........he didn't want to watch the blood bath!
I bought 6 tickets in II, R39 I think it was. Looking forward to the game!
I went several years ago and vowed to never return. Traffic was horribly slow. People walking were passing us as we creeped closer to a place to park. As if getting that wasn't painful enough, getting out was almost as bad. I think we were driving 2 hours to go 1 mile to get there, and about 1 hour to get out of town.
What is the price range for tickets? Cant do it from my phone at work

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - When I was a kid, I loved when Christmas cards would come in the mail.
My favorite part? Snapshots of my distant cousins. When you don't get to see your relatives very often, those yearly holiday cards bridge the gap.
Nowadays, social media helps to bridge that gap between distant relatives, so some say Facebook has killed the Christmas card. It's like we have real-time glimpses into our Facebook friends' lives... Even those who live hundreds of thousands miles away.
I, however, still get that childlike thump in my heart when a Christmas card comes in the mail. Last night I received one from some of my best friends, complete with a couple funny photos of the two of them posing in front of their Christmas tree, one with and one without their pets.
To me, Christmas cards still bring holiday joy, even if you've seen photos of that couple or those kids 1,000 times throughout the year on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Time Magazine writer, Nina Burleigh, writes, "...The demise of the Christmas photo card saddens me. It portends the end of the U.S. Postal Service. It signals the day is near when writing on paper is non-existent. Finally, it is part of a decline of a certain quality of communication, one that involved delay and anticipation, forethought and reflection."
So, what do you think? Should you still send out Christmas cards each year when most folks have already seen pictures on social media sites of the kids, the dogs, the food you've been eating, and the places you've visited throughout the year? Is it worth shelling out the dough to spread some holiday cheer via "snail mail?"
In a comment below, let us know what you think. Or, head over to the THV Facebook page and weigh in. We'd love to hear from you.

Is that small-c conservative a lawyer or just pretending?
Either way, he seems to exemplify people who can take the 20,000 foot lofty intellectual view and say well, this is all debatable and no harm was done, maybe it was justified anyway. Except that a man was hounded to suicide - well, he just shouldn't have been so upset by being prosecuted because it was all so very academic, apparently.
Bullshit. When the penalty for a victimless, profitless property 'crime' is potentially higher than for child abuse, robbery or manslaughter, there's something slightly amiss, eh?

The Museum of Performance and Design launches their new conversation series, Designers on Design, tonight, with the legendary costume and set designer, Tony Walton. After a career as a Broadway set designer in NYC and London, Walton hit the big screen in 1964, as the costume designer and visual consultant for Mary Poppins. His detailed costume work was immediately recognized with an Oscar nod, but it wasn't until 1980 that he won an Oscar for his designs in All That Jazz. All of this and more will be discussed when Walton joins Brad Rosenstein, Curator of Exhibitions for the MPD, in an intimate conversation on Walton's life and five decades of work. Photos and footage behind-the-scenes of Broadway and Hollywood will accompany the conversation.

How many people died? It's one of the first questions asked in a war or violent conflict, but it's one of the hardest to answer.

An example is this week's announcement that scientists have devised a biological computer, based on an idea first described by Turing in the 1930s.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - A return home was just what the Tampa Bay
Lightning needed to reverse their recent fortunes, as Martin St. Louis and
Teddy Purcell each scored twice to support a 37-save performance from Ben
Bishop in a 5-0 drubbing of the New York Rangers that halted a four-game
losing streak.
The Lightning went 0-3-1 on a just-completed trip to the West Coast, but
delivered their sixth straight win on home ice behind Bishop's second shutout
of the season.
Nikita Kucherov added a goal in his NHL debut, with St. Louis and Purcell
each tacking on an assist to help Tampa Bay improve to 9-2-0 at Tampa Bay
Times Forum this season.
"First of all, he's not afraid to shoot the puck," Lightning coach Jon Cooper
said of Kucherov. "And you've got a good chance of scoring when you shoot.
That will not be the last goal that kid will score in the NHL."
The Rangers had a string of six consecutive road victories halted and saw star
goaltender Henrik Lundqvist pulled after two periods upon allowing four goals
on 22 shots.
"We didn't play that bad," said Lundqvist. "We made a few mistakes and paid
for it. I wasn't able to come up with the saves."
Tampa Bay wasted little time in setting the tone, striking twice in the game's
first three-plus minutes to put the Rangers in a quick hole.
Kucherov, recalled from Syracuse of the AHL on Sunday, made his initial NHL
shot a memorable one by one-timing a behind-the-net feed from Purcell through
Lundqvist's pads just 2:12 in.
With the teams skating on a 4-on-4 a mere 58 seconds later, St. Louis outraced
New York defenseman Marc Staal to a puck dumped into the Ranger zone by Victor
Hedman and beat Lundqvist on the resulting breakaway.
Bishop was exceptionally sharp as well early on, turning aside 17 shots during
a busy opening session.
St. Louis again used his speed to extend the margin to 3-0 early in the second
period, splitting a pair of defenders to take in a well-placed pass from
Valtteri Filppula and sneaking the puck by Lundqvist while 1-on-1.
Purcell got into the act 3:08 prior to the second intermission, skating nearly
the length of the ice following a Rangers' turnover and rocketing a wrister
over Lundqvist's glove.
Bishop recorded 10 saves in the third period to finish off his fifth career
shutout, and Purcell put the finishing touches on the rout with 1:01 left.
Working a 2-on-1 with St. Louis, the forward jammed a backhander past Cam
Talbot for his second tally of the night.
Game Notes
The Lightning had managed just six goals total over their four-game skid,
while New York had allowed only eight goals during their six-game road streak
... Forward Ryan Malone (foot) and defenseman Radko Gudas (upper body) both
sat out for Tampa Bay ... The Lightning improved to 11-1-0 when scoring the
game's first goal and have scored 46 times in their 11 home outings ... Talbot
registered two saves on three shots after replacing Lundqvist.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida A&M University is delaying the hiring of a new director for its famed Marching 100 band.
FAMU interim president Larry Robinson was expected Tuesday to name a successor to former band director Julian White.
But university spokeswoman Sharon Saunders told a crowd of nearly 100 faculty members and students that the appointment was on hold.
Saunders told reporters that the finalist for the job and the university were still negotiating a final contract.
The university initially fired White shortly after the November 2011 hazing-related death of drum major Robert Champion. But his dismissal was put on hold at the urging of law enforcement officials investigating Champion's death.
White announced his retirement in May 2012.
Saunders said FAMU changed the responsibilities of the band director in the wake of Champion's death, and this issue may be partly responsible for the hiring delay.
Last year, four people interviewed for the band director job, including current band directors at a North Carolina college and a Florida high school. Three of the finalists had attended FAMU.
The Marching 100 has been suspended since Champion's death. There is no scheduled date for its return.

Engaging With Suppliers to Meet Supply Chain Sustainability Goals
May 10, 2012
As companies advance their sustainable development initiatives into the extended supply chain, their suppliers become a crucial source of information and market expertise. Consequently, suppliers are under increasing pressure to participate in these programs. How best to involve trading partners in green supply chain projects and develop mutually beneficial relationships is an urgent challenge for enterprises worldwide.
According to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in its 2012 Supply Chain Report , "suppliers that do not measure, quantify, and manage their greenhouse gas emissions will soon see their business move to competitors that can provide better information and clearer evidence of change."
Of the 50 CDP Supply Chain member enterprises surveyed in the report, some 62% reward suppliers with good carbon management practices, up from 28% in 2010. Moreover, 39% of these member organizations "will soon begin deselecting suppliers that do not adopt such measures," says CDP. This compares to 23% of member organizations in the previous report. Even though the CDP sample is biased toward environmentally aware organizations, there is "growing momentum for supply chain engagement," CDP asserts.

Things between Jelena Jankovic and her sexy new boy toy, water poloist Mladjan Janovic, seem to be going strong.
The slidin' Serb and her new beau were spotted at Madera recently, a restaurant in Belgrade, looking pretty cozy together. I guess this budding romance hasn't rocked JJ off her game based on her two consecutive titles (Beijing, Stuttgart) and her move back into the WTA Penthouse this week.
Some girls have all the luck, huh? But word of advice JJ: you better hold onto him tight. That's all I'm saying.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A winter storm will dive into the Ohio Valley Tuesday afternoon and then intensify off the coast of Virginia Wednesday.
For some of us the precipitation begins as rain on Tuesday night, but then changes over to heavy, wet snow by dawn Wednesday. This potent area of low pressure will bring a hefty snowfall to the Beltway and beyond, with snow falling throughout the day and into Wednesday evening.
Winter Storm Warnings have already been issued for areas west of the Metro starting this evening.
Some areas in the Northern Shenandoah Valley could see more than a foot of heavy wet snow, possibly even 18". Downtown could even receive six to nine inches of snow coupled with winds over thirty mph winds Wednesday afternoon and night.
That will likely bring down branches and power lines. Southeast of DC, heavy rains will eventually change to snow and that will keep their snow totals on the low end but you are still under a Winter Storm Watch.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- A new poll shows the Virginia Governor's race is in a dead heat and the Libertarian could be the key.
Quinnipiac University survey finds Democrat Terry McAuliffe's lead dropped several points to 44% of likely voters.
Republican Ken Cuccinelli has 41%, which given the three percent margin of error, is even.
The poll shows Sarvis, a Fairfax County native, Harvard educated software engineer, business owner, and lawyer, with 7% percent of likely voters. Sarvis says an average of four recent polls puts him at 9%. That's enough to do major damage to one or both of the mainstream party candidates.
"My support is coming fairly evenly, especially from people who weren't going to vote because they found the other two candidates so toxic. So I'm bringing a lot of people back to the polls who weren't going to vote," said Sarvis.
"You could imagine a Ralph Nader-type situation where you have an extremely close race between the two major party candidates and the third party candidate tilts the election one way or the other," said George Mason University Public Policy Professor Mark Rozzell. He says if the race between Ken Cuccinelli and Terry McAuliffe is very close, Sarvis could more likely spoil it for Cuccinelli, because typically, libertarians pulls votes away from republicans.
"Neither candidate is really exciting the electorate right now. You look at these polling data and they show that, yes the candidates are close, but neither one is very popular, in fact their negatives are quite high," said Rozell.
The escalating number of negative attack ads from both candidates may have something to do with that. But Rozell thinks if a candidate decides to run only positive ads, it could benefit him by pleasing voters.
However, he doesn't expect that to happen. Instead, he expects the number of negatives ads to increase up until November 5th, with McAuliffe out spending Cuccinelli.
McAuliffe has $5 million for the final stretch. Cuccinelli has about half that.

That looks excellent though a bit confusing with this small image size
These are two drawings I've made for an upcoming fantasy book,
the first is a bridge over a deep gorge that was the only significant defensive structure protecting a city, and has been siezed in battle, and the second drawing is of the conquered and abandoned city itself.
I still have some small modifications to make before it goes to publishing,
any suggestions or corrections would be most welcome.
That looks excellent though a bit confusing with this small image size
That's fantastic! Amazing perspective. I would also love to see bigger images, if possible. Looks like there's a lot more detail than I can see clearly!
There's a tiny teeny bit of additional details that can be seen from up closer, but then other areas of the image would get a bit pixelated or blurry.
what i tried to do here was to make the illusion that this thing can be zoomed in further. I agree it does look rather confusing when viewed at this size, but i couldn't find a better way to do it - if i use a thinner brush it would look far worse, if i use a thicker brush it looks like a drawing by a 10 year old. if i remove some details it looks more boring. I tried to "juggle" all of these factors and make something that looks nice. I bet there's a better solution for this but never got to find it.
Not sure to get it, this is the original drawing size?
no, the original size is about 4 times larger, but It looks smeared and quite ugly when viewed from that distance.
Very nice! I understand the balancing act you are dealing with but I agree that it would be nice to view this in a bit more detail. Nevertheless, great job.
Oh my gawd. This is awesome. I might have to try this.

I really like that style. It really kind of emulates the chaotic life of a growing busy city, but gives you the sense if you took a step inside that city everything would fall into place and make sense.


text: Hello. I'm looking for a map for my first d&d campaign that I will be the DM of. I have tweaked the rules of crafting to make the players reliant on each other and there self and each other. So now what I want is a large island with a peninsula on the right side that's were the party will start there campaign. The island will need a few small towns more toward the west of the island and the major town on the ocean as a harbor town on the west. The east is inhabited by tribes of kobolds, goblins, and orc tribes. A mountain should separate east and west with caves and tunnels all over the mountain some leading trough and some leading down. But I can handle that much which is which. But the main thing is the west needs to be almost barron the towns are huddeled around the last little bit of fresh water and last few hundred acres of trees. And the major city on the ocean is surrounded by desert. While the east side has springs, rivers wild life and is a huge forest with the must southern tip being a swampland. All I ask for is the right to reprint this to use in my game. So who ever choices to do this thank you in advance your assistance is really appreciated.

OK Sketchers, try this
Posted 15 September 2012 - 07:22 AM
Posted 17 September 2012 - 06:43 PM
And aperture here only helps to make color easier to see by virtue of permitting a large exit pupil while providing a comfortably large size. Once an eye-matching exit pupil is employed, further increases in aperture do not increase image surface brightness.
Further, before the advent of color imaging, were there reports of seeing red in nebulae, even with the largest telescopes any astronomers would have peered through? Beside the demonstrated illusion that in comparison dim grey patches appear reddish beside less-dim grey patches which are greenish, our familiarity with the photographic appearance today must be at least an unconscious source of bias.

Frankly I think texture is exaggerated in most deep-sky sketches, mostly because it is the limitation of the common techniques - they produce texture whether the artist wants it or not, and it is difficult to smooth it out enough without sometimes actually physically destroying the sketch. So here we have a lot of fine texture which I am certain is not seen visually (I haven't looked through an f/3 40" like this, but have looked through a professional 24" RC that I had to myself for a couple nights). There is a fairly gradual transition as far as size from this clearly artifactual texture to the many little wisps. The thicker wisps should be seen. The multitude of the thinner ones should be regarded as an extension of the texture-producing technique.
The people in charge of APOD (hats off to them - the site is huge in science education and inspiration - but let me say something here) are professional guys. And it is well known that the vast majority of professional astronomers have no idea how deep-sky objects look visually and what visual observing actually entails. So, the sketch is good, great in fact - to those who understand the conventions used and how these texturing conventions have interfered with presenting real detail clearly. But its appearance on APOD (otherwise a photography website) will contribute to the unrealistic notion of the general public that is APOD's audience about how celestial objects look to the eye. They will think that the problems of deep-sky observers producing boring, bleak sketches are lack of technique and lack of aperture

About red in M42. The only bit I've detected was in the bright, inner Huygenian region, where surface brightness is highest.
Posted 20 September 2012 - 02:41 PM
I am the author of the sketch.
All that I have drawn have been seen, color and texture.
There is no artefact due to the technique, the wisps directed toward the central star are intentional. I don't pretend having represented each of them at its real place, but it was this impression at the eyepiece. Some of my companions have seen it too.
Glenn, as in the subject «sketches with a 40''», you're trying to refute my observation by all means, but never observational. The theory obeys the observation, not the reverse. You should practice with a big telescope before having so much convictions.
You should be happy that a drawing was published as an APOD, instead of trying to demonstrate that the choice was wrong.
The only thing that this publication can contribute, is to remind that we can observe with the eye, not only the CCD sensor.
IVM, a 24'' clearly shows less than a 40''. The resolution is almost halved and the brightness almost divided by three. It is like comparing a 24'' and a 14''. And it's not only theory, I have already observed in a 24'' ;-))
Posted 20 September 2012 - 03:35 PM
your drawing of M57 is magnificent. As I said in the other thread 'Sketches with a 40" :
"You and your circle of friends are some of only a few people on earth who know what can be seen through the eyepiece of a 40" Reflector. For everyone else it's just theory."
Congratulations on your many fine observations and thanks for making them available to us all through your drawings,which I for one, prefer to any theory.
Amicalement, John
Posted 20 September 2012 - 05:23 PM
That said, there will be friendly and perhaps at times robust critique of techniques in general - whether you use them or someone else. And there will be discussion of how much exactly can large aperture help - again, irrespective of who looks through the scope and what they say they see. Also there will be discussion of how exact a notion of the Universe the public without access to telescopes acquires through our drawings and photos. I am glad that you weighed in in this thread because otherwise we were (I was) here sparring with the shadow, so to speak.
I do not doubt your words. That said, I doubt I would see such fine texture and details through a 40", and my "problem" would not be eyesight. I almost never see any texture in nebulous DSOs. What I know about the physical limitations and capabilities of the instrument does affect what I perceive looking into the ocular - probably on the subconscious level already. Reality is neither theory nor perception. I like to attune my perception to reality using theory as a crutch if necessary. Theory we are talking about in this thread is quantitative principles of optical instrumentation and observational astronomy, not some arguable hypotheses.
On the technical level, please note that the 24" that I mentioned was a professional Ritchey-Chretien (retired professional, of course). I admire large short-focus (f/3 in this case IIRC) Dobsonians and their gutsy owners. But these instruments cannot achieve or approach the theoretical resolution of their aperture due to the limitations of the mirror figure and of the focal ratio (that would be collimation and eyepiece aberrations). More importantly, both a 24" of any design and a 40" are limited by the atmosphere.
I accept your argument about light grasp. Indeed light grasp may be of primary importance for DSO details. I think that the effective resolution on DSOs does often scale as the aperture because magnification giving the same surface brightness scales as the aperture. However, the details that cannot be resolved due to aberrations and atmosphere will remain unresolved regardless of brightness.
The texture may be perceived by the observer, but individual grains in it are not of physical origin but of perceptual. This is how I regard the texture in your sketch. The perceived texture may also be anisotropic due to the overall shape of the object and brightness distribution in it. This is how I regard the finer threads of nebulosity in your sketch (radial in the middle and circumferential on the margin). I do not doubt that you perceived them - not after you have explained now that they did not arise merely from the drawing technique.
Again, welcome to Cloudynights and I hope to see more of your sketches here in the future. They are beautiful and, as you have now clarified, reflect with precision how you see the Universe using some of the rarest and most powerful instruments on this planet.

It's not exactly a classical dobs. Like small pro scope is the mirror cell is an astatic one and the optical quality is really good. I haved try to take pics with it and unfortunately, I'm everything but good. I was lucky for the first shots on the moon, dmk31 camera, powermate4x. (Sorry to put pics links in the sketching section of the forum)

- My own views of M57 through a 24". Yes, the image at given exit pupil diameter is smaller, which is a handicap; better to have a larger extent when the subject is faint.
- The knowledge the the eye's sensitivity to the H-alpha wavelength is no better than 10% that of the O-III wavelengths, and is worse still when dark adapted.
- The knowledge that in M57 the H-alpha emission has at best 1/2 the intensity as O-III, meaning that visually the intensity is no better than 1/20 that of O-III. Not only is the red weak, but it is of very low contrast color wise, at the 5% level, and has the green dominance to 'fight' against.
- The well known (?) illusion of dimmer regions of a colorless image take in a reddish hue.
- My frequent observation of auroras, which visually showed only green, but in photos I'd taken and developed later revealed surprising red structure.
This last point is what really drives home to me just how insensitive the eye is to red. To be seen as such, the red atomic oxygen and molecular nitrogen components of auroral emission have to have a surface brightness rather higher than the H-alpha component in M57.
If one were to fly out to M57, from immediately beside it there would still be insufficient surface brightness to see the red. (The view would be like that delivered by a 35m telescope at 5,000X--and 7mm exit pupil for maximum image surface brightness.)
My last reason for doubt is that I've not encountered any report of red seen in M57 by other observers using big telescopes before the advent of color imaging, or photography especially. Surely the experience and equipment of the day were up to the task. If an unbiased observation mentions no red, it's to me a more reliable indicator than a modern observation of same after long familiarity with its colorful aspects.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - There's a sense of opportunity in Southern
Conference football this season.
With Appalachian State and Georgia Southern headed out the door to the FBS
level next year, the other schools will jockey around in a potentially odd
conference title race.
During their final season in the FCS, ASU and GSU will play above the 63-
scholarship limit, making them ineligible for both the SoCon title and a bid
to the FCS playoffs. Their games will count toward the SoCon standings,
however, meaning the conference's automatic bid to the playoffs will go to the
highest-finishing team that is eligible.
And that could be the third-best finisher.
Still, the other teams believe this is their season to finish higher than ASU
and GSU.
Wofford has been the other power in the conference - winning a share of last
year's title with its two rivals - and is seeking its fourth straight FCS
playoff appearance. But the conference race is so deep that the SoCon head
coaches picked the Terriers to finish fifth.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has a talented enough squad to earn
its first playoff bid since 1984, Samford and The Citadel their first since
Only rebuilding Furman, Elon and Western Carolina appear to be out of the
title mix.
"Everyone in the league is thinking the same thing about how this is a great
time to make a move and establish themselves as a top-three type of team," The
Citadel coach Kevin Higgins said.
Elon remains eligible for the SoCon title, although next year it will make a
move in FCS conferences to the Colonial Athletic Association. That's when
Mercer, East Tennessee State and VMI will enter the SoCon.
A strange season? It should be just that this year.
Following is a team-by-team breakdown of the 2013 Southern Conference race.
The Sports Network's predicted order of finish:
1. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
2. Wofford
3. The Citadel
4. Samford

6. Elon
7. Western Carolina

OUTLOOK: There's a lot of pressure on the veteran Mocs to make this a
breakthrough season under coach Russ Huesman. They have seven returning all-
conference selections and have improved greatly as a program, but they have
struggled against Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Wofford during the
Huesman era. The Mocs should have a dominant defense with the return of two
Buck Buchanan Award nominees in Tull and Dothard, a difference maker up front
with Lott and two standouts in the secondary in Key and Wise. The overall
speed on offense will trouble opponents, but the Mocs have to produce more
yards and points after so-so results last season. Huesman turned over the
quarterback job to his son Jacob last season, but the Mocs still makes great
use of Robinson as a triple threat. A particularly tough schedule in November
means the Mocs have to get off to a strong start this season.

OUTLOOK: How does a team replace a 2,000-yard rusher? In most cases, it
doesn't. Breitenstein had 5,730 rushing yards and 65 touchdowns in his career,
but Johnson is a good substitute as he has rushed for 1,793 yards in his first
three seasons. He returns to the fullback position from halfback. It might be
harder to replace Brian Kass at quarterback, with Lawson and Weimer seemingly
ahead in the battle of six candidates. Ayers is looking to pass the ball more
often this season. His offensive line has to replace three starters, although
Singleton returns as one of the better centers in the FCS. Like the offense,
the defense lost six starters. Scioneaux and McCrimon are a pair of highly
productive linebackers. There's concern for the secondary as the Terriers
replace their starting cornerbacks. But Ayers has reloaded squads before and
nothing short of a SoCon title and a fourth straight appearance in the FCS
playoffs will satisfy his team.

(64 in FCS, 5 in SoCon)
OUTLOOK: A stunning sweep of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern last
season fueled The Citadel to its first winning season since 2007. The winning
should continue this season while the Bulldogs play disciplined football under
Higgins. The triple option, which ground out 300.6 rushing yards per game to
finish fourth in the FCS (but only third in the SoCon), has five fifth-year
senior offensive linemen paving the way. Robinson averaged 7.2 yards per carry
while going over 1,000 yards. Dupree and Miller both see time at quarterback.
On defense, it's still a relatively young nucleus, although cornerbacks
McCladdie and Jean-Pierre are fifth-year seniors who helped key a No. 7 ranking
nationally in pass defense last year. A healthier Riley will make a big
difference with the Douglas-led defense. The Bulldogs' SoCon opener against
Wofford will go a long way in determining if they can win the conference's
automatic bid to the playoffs.

OUTLOOK: After Samford posted its best overall record since 2003, and its best
conference mark since joining the SoCon in '08, the Bulldogs' veteran squad
believes it can make a run at the conference crown. And rightfully so. Truss,
a threat out of the backfield and on kickoff returns, finished third in the FCS
with 179.8 all-purpose yards per game. The NCAA granted QB Summerlin a sixth
year of eligibility and he has a dynamite wide receiver in Pope. The offense
should be ahead of the defense, which has to replace an NFL Draft choice
(Williams) and its co-tackle leader (linebacker Darion Sutton). Tartt was a
Buck Buchanan Award finalist as a sophomore and sets the tone with his
playmaking style. A particularly tough road schedule could wear on the

OUTLOOK: The Paladins went from six wins in Fowler's first season in 2011 to
three last year. Fowler has been trying to restock the program with young
talent because his team has only 11 seniors. The Paladins will have to play
better in the second half of games, having been outscored by a combined 184-83
in the third and fourth quarters last season. Their team suffered a big loss
with Williams, but it returns all five starters on the offensive line, which
gives McCloud a chance to excel as the new starting running back. At
quarterback, Hannon splashed onto the scene as a freshman and will keep
getting better. Three veterans on the defensive line took their 87 career
starts to graduation, leaving DE Boone as the lone returning starter up front.
To fill some of the production, Wilkins, who led the team in tackles last
season, has moved up to defensive end from linebacker. A brutal five-game
stretch starting with Chattanooga will be difficult, but the Paladins should
improve on last year's record.

OUTLOOK: Swepson is still trying to get the Phoenix to a higher level after
posting two straight losing seasons. This is their final season in the SoCon
before moving to the Colonial Athletic Association. They appear to be building
toward a better 2014, especially with the young offense returning only four
starters. Quinn, last year's backup quarterback, played in four games as a
sophomore and indicated he is ready for a bigger role. He won't be throwing
the ball to Mellette, the two-time All-American, but Brown and Rorie will
improve their numbers. The Phoenix struggled to stop the run, which in turn
helped them to allow a SoCon-low 156.9 passing yards per game. Their veteran
secondary should be strong again. The defensive leader, though, is Spain, whose
118 tackles were the fourth-most in the program's single-season history.

OUTLOOK: Western Carolina has an exceptionally young squad as it moves forward
in Speir's second season since he arrived from Appalachian State. The
Catamounts' only two wins in the last two seasons are against Division II
Mars Hill, which they play again. They also have lost 22 straight SoCon games.
But they are switching to a read-option on offense and a 4-3 alignment on
defense, hoping brighter days are ahead. Mitchell took over the regular
starting role at quarterback as a true freshman after Sullivan was injured.
The Catamounts are well served by using both dual-threat signal callers.
There's also a double threat at running back with Ramsey and Warren. The
Catamounts' defense is deep at defensive back and also has some good returning
linebackers despite the loss of Williams, their leading tackler in each of the
past two seasons. The Catamounts are one of three FCS teams playing three FBS
opponents, so it might be hard to improve a lot in the win-loss column. Gaining
a SoCon victory would be a good start.

(77 in FCS, 6 in SoCon)
OUTLOOK: Talk about a wild offseason. First, Appalachian State replaced
legendary head coach Jerry Moore after 24 seasons and then the Mountaineers
became ineligible for the SoCon title and an FCS playoff bid because it
accepted an invitation to join Conference USA on the FBS level next year.
Satterfield, who spent 17 of the last 22 years as a student-athlete and
assistant coach at ASU, takes the reins for an interesting season ahead. The
Mountaineers haven't quite lived up to their talent level in recent seasons -
losing home playoff games in three straight seasons - but they are as ready as
any program for a move up in levels. Dynamic QB Londry-Jackson is a Walter
Payton Award finalist coming off an ACL injury, but to help him through his
recovery are seven of his top eight pass catchers from last season, led by
Price, Peacock and Washington. They need a running back to replace Miller, but
the offensive line returns all five starters. The Mountaineers had one of the
top linebacker units in the FCS last season, but there's some inexperience
there as they switch to a 3-4 alignment under new defensive coordinator Nate
Woody, formerly the defensive whiz at Wofford. A healthier Middleton will boost
the secondary, which lost veterans Demetrius McCray and Troy Sanders. An
opening win at Montana would set up a potential big run to open the season.

OUTLOOK: Monken says there's still plenty to play for this season, including
winning every game. Are you listening, Florida Gators? The Eagles are coming
off three straight appearances in the FCS semifinals and would have been a
national championship contender if they were eligible for the playoffs. Their
triple option will trouble any team, and it led the FCS in rushing yards per
game (399.4) last season. With four starters returning on the offensive line,
the triple option could be even better - as incredible as that sounds.
McKinnon, a Walter Payton Award nominee, gained 1,817 rushing yards last season
- the third-highest total in school history behind former Payton winners Adrian
Peterson and Jayson Foster. Swope's 1,246 rushing yards weren't too shabby,
either. The Eagles don't pass often, but they pick up big chunks of yards when
they do. It's a different story on defense as the graduation losses were
significant. Overshadowed players like DE Mention and CB Westbrooks will have
their shot at the spotlight. As the FBS-bound Eagles try to win the unofficial
SoCon title, they will make visits to fellow defending champions Wofford and
Appalachian State.

Blue Trails: Protection through Recreation
Although most Americans live within a mile of a river or stream, many don't realize the central role that hometown rivers play in enhancing community quality of life. A healthy river provides plentiful supplies of clean drinking water, thriving fish and wildlife habitat, natural protection from flooding, and abundant recreational opportunities.
Unfortunately, when people don't feel a connection between their community and their river, they're less likely to care for it – which can lead to pollution, irresponsible development, and overall negligence.
American Rivers launched its Blue Trails program in 2007 to help remedy this problem and inspire communities to view their rivers as a resource and take action to protect and restore them.
A Blue Trail is a waterway adopted by a local community that is dedicated to improving family-friendly recreation such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching, and conserving land and water resources.
Just as hiking trails are designed to help people explore the land, Blue Trails help people discover their rivers and provide communities with a host of benefits:
- Protect the environment. Blue Trails are an organizing tool that galvanizes citizen support for clean water and healthy riverside lands. They inspire people to protect important habitat and provide corridors for people and wildlife. While specific protections vary from community to community, Blue Trails are often associated with conservation easements, land acquisition, stream buffer requirements, stream flow protections, and higher water quality standards.
- Enhance local economies. Blue Trails are economic drivers that benefit businesses and quality of life. According to The Outdoor Foundation, 113 million Americans enjoy fishing, paddling, and trail activities yearly, generating 1.6 million jobs and $20 billion in state and federal revenue.
- Promote healthy living. Exercise is important for maintaining good health in all stages of life, however many people do not regularly exercise. Blue Trails provide a safe, inexpensive avenue for regular exercise for people living in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
- Preserve history and community identity. Blue Trails have the power to connect us to our heritage by preserving historic places and providing access to them. Through these cultural, historic and natural places, Blue Trails enhance a sense of community identity and pride.
- Connect people and places. Blue Trails connect urban and rural communities to parks, forests, and refuges. Through them, we create a valuable legacy that honors the past, enriches the present, and provides a precious gift to the future.
American Rivers is the only national organization helping communities create Blue Trails. Learn more about Blue Trails and our work:
