Looking to close out their second straight unbeaten regular season on the gridiron, the third-ranked Lions of East Mississippi Community College travel to Fulton to meet MACJC North Division foe Itawamba Community College Saturday afternoon. ICC's homecoming kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. at Eaton Field on the Itawamba campus.
Having already secured the MACJC North Division's No. 1 seed for the upcoming MACJC State Playoffs with their fourth regular-season division title in five years, head coach Buddy Stephens' 8-0 EMCC Lions have won 20 consecutive games dating back to last year's 12-0 NJCAA national championship season. EMCC also owns a current 20-game win string in regular-season play spanning back to the 2010 campaign.
Despite claiming a key 56-49 home victory over No. 5 Northwest Mississippi a week ago, East Mississippi remained at the No. 3 position in this week's NJCAA Top 20 national poll behind top-ranked Iowa Western and No. 2 Butler. Now with one-third of the nine first-place votes and 182.5 voting points to their credit, the Lions currently trail Butler (189 pts) and IWCC (203 pts) by 6.5 and 20.5 voting points, respectively.
Previously ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA's preseason poll and for the first two weeks of the regular season, the EMCC Lions have remained atop the JCGridwire.com and JCFootball.com national rankings for the better part of the 2012 season. The JCGridwire.com and JCFootball.com ratings include all NJCAA member schools along with the talent-laden California community college programs.
A more-balanced team offensively than last year's unbeaten Lions squad, the 2012 EMCC club is averaging 541.9 yards of total offense per contest on the year to rank fifth nationally. With the current NJCAA Offensive Player of the Week Quez Johnson at the controls, the Lions are passing for an even 300 yards per game to rank sixth in the NJCAA. Completing 57 percent of his passes with 24 touchdowns to stand fourth nationally, Johnson is also tied for the team lead with nine rushing scores on the year.
Sophomore transfer Corey Smith, of Akron, Ohio by way of Grand Rapids (Mich.) Community College, continues to lead EMCC's pass-catching corps with 43 receptions for 649 yards and eight touchdowns. Sophomore running back Rodriguez Moore has rushed for a team-high 779 yards (10th in the NJCAA) and nine scores for the season. The Bastrop, La., native is averaging 6.8 yards per carry and 97.4 yards per game for the Lions.
Defensively, the Lions bent a little last week in surrendering 49 points and 586 yards of total offense in their MACJC North Division title-clinching victory over Northwest Mississippi. Prior to last week, EMCC had only allowed 45 total points in the previous seven contests combined, including three shutout victories (Northeast, Holmes and Mississippi Delta) in the prior four-game span. Including a season-high five interceptions on defense a week ago against NWCC, the Lions are tied for fourth among the NJCAA team ranks with 19 picks for the season. With at least one interception in all eight games this year, 12 of EMCC's 19 picks have come over the last three outings.
Guided by third-year head coach Jon Williams, the Itawamba Indians are 5-3 overall and 3-2 within the MACJC North Division after claiming back-to-back division wins over Northeast Mississippi (36-15) last week and Coahoma (31-28) two weeks ago. ICC's three setbacks this season have come against Holmes, Northwest Mississippi and Copiah-Lincoln, which included narrow losses to Holmes (14-12) in Week 4 and Co-Lin (17-14) two weeks later.
Along with having remained unbeaten in MACJC North Division road action (14-0) since Stephens' arrival on the Scooba scene in 2008, the EMCC Lions will also be looking to extend their current five-game series win streak against Itawamba that dates back to a 31-28 overtime win in Fulton during the 2007 campaign. Most recently, EMCC claimed a 48-7 home victory over the Indians last season in Scooba and previously posted a 37-10 road triumph at ICC two years ago.
Saturday's regular-season finale in Fulton will be broadcast live online by WFCA-FM radio (www.wfcafm108.com), out of French Camp, with Glen Beard and John Lyle Briggs set to describe the play-by-play action. WFCA's broadcast of Saturday's EMCC-ICC contest is also slated to be carried live in the Meridian market on SuperTalk Mississippi 103.3 FM as well as on WLSM-FM (107.1) in Louisville. Post-game highlights and interviews will also be available Friday via EMCC's YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/emccathletics, which can also be accessed through EMCC's school website, www.eastms.edu, and Facebook pages.
Set to make their fifth consecutive appearance in the MACJC State Playoffs under Stephens' leadership, the EMCC Lions clinched the No.1 seed in the MACJC's North Division with last week's clutch win over Northwest and will now play host to the South's No. 2 seed on Saturday, Nov. 3 in Scooba. The MACJC State/NJCAA Region 23 Championship Game will pair the winners of the two Nov. 3 semifinal-round playoff games on Saturday, Nov. 10 at a site to be determined.

SAN JOSE -- John Thornton, who does double duty as Sharks captain Joe Thornton's agent and brother, liked the news this week that the NHL salary cap is expected to climb to $71 million next season, which is higher than many expected.
But not because Joe Thornton will be seeking a more lucrative contract extension than the three-year deal in the vicinity of $21 million that previously had been proposed to general manager Doug Wilson.
"I don't think it impacts us, but it makes it easier on Doug and on the team to get all three done," John Thornton said.
From Thornton's vantage point, his brother's contract is linked to negotiations with two other San Jose mainstays -- Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle -- whose contracts also expire at the end of this season.
Wilson will not discuss ongoing negotiations, but he said before the season that bargaining talks had begun with all three veterans. He also suggested that the goal is to keep them in San Jose while rewarding younger players such as Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic with well-deserved raises.
John Thornton does not share Wilson's reluctance to talk about the situation and offered a look at the process from his own perspective, noting that both he and the Sharks were working under the assumption that the salary cap increase would be less than the $6.7 million bump over this year's $64.3 million.
The agent added that his brother should have a new deal before his old one expires, but he was unsure when.
"I really don't know," he said. "From our standpoint, I think Doug is trying to get all three done, so it's just a different circumstance."
The situation, John Thornton added, is complicated by the fact Marleau's longtime agent, Don Baizley, died last summer and Marleau has not chosen someone else to represent him.
Boyle's agent, George Bazos, said Friday that talks with Wilson had not reached the point where either side had placed a number on the table.
"We expect at some point they'll try to get everybody done, but at this point we're just kind of waiting and hoping they win a lot of games," Bazos said. "We kicked around some ideas. You know, it depends on the number of years, a lot of moving parts. I wouldn't say we have a real number. We haven't gotten that far."
If Joe Thornton is indeed close to a new deal, his brother said it had a lot to do with the big center's approach.
For one thing, the Sharks captain long has preferred three-year deals rather than the lengthier contracts sought by others with his credentials. And though the 34-year-old Thornton, whose 29 assists this season are second best in the NHL, could likely earn more as a free agent, he seems satisfied maintaining the salary level he's had in the past.
Thornton's 2013-14 salary is $6 million, though his current contract carries a $7 million cap hit. Thornton was paid $8 million in the first year of the contract and $7 million last season.
"I wish Joe would be going for a lot more money because of my commission, but Joe's just going to be Joe," his agent said. "You're not going to really see surprises from him."
While the league's governors provided the $71 million estimate this week at their Pebble Beach meetings, there were doubters, especially with the Canadian dollar in decline. The cap is figured in U.S. dollars, and any drop in the Canadian dollar value would be reflected in the spending limit.

Fashion Brands Pitch In for First Lady's 'Drink Up' Campaign
Michelle Obama's long support of fashion designers is paying off again. Fashion designers were potent fundraisers and awareness-raisers for her husband's presidential races, and they're now promoting another of the FLOTUS' causes, encouraging Americans to drink more water in a campaign that will launch June 25.
It's hard to discern a clear connection between sexy fashion brands like BCBG Max Azria, Rebecca Minkoff, and Herve Leger and an initiative to drink water. But the brands are piling on to the Drink Up initiative, and along with J. Crew, HSN, Bloomingdales and others have created co-branded products, window displays, television segments and other promotions for Mrs. Obama's Partnership for a Healthier America.
Fashion, in fact, is sexing up a public health campaign that could otherwise sound rather dreary.
"We've tried hard not to look like a public health campaign," says Drew Nannis, chief marketing officer of the Partnership for a Healthier America, which is, so very obviously, a public health campaign. The aim is to get people to quit drinking sugar-laden drinks – all the soda, fruit juice, and frothy soy mocaccinos that can amount to the equivalent of a bellyful of ice cream or candy.
"Fashion is one of the most visible cultural factors that we have," says Mr. Nannis, noting that the industry offers "serious stopping power" to grab consumers' attention.
With the initiative's launch on Wednesday, designer Rebecca Minkoff will begin grabbing consumers' attention by selling co-branded beach towels printed with her best-selling kissing-bird print from the label's current spring collection, donating 10% of the proceeds to the Partnership for a Healthier America.
BCBG MaxAzria and Herve Leger will do promotional displays in 34 stores. Bloomingdales is throwing a shopping event, and J. Crew will donate 100% of the proceeds from selling co-branded Crewcut t-shirts.
Ms. Minkoff says she "leapt in" very quickly when the Drink Up initiative people reached out less than two months ago despite the fact that her label – like nearly all fashion labels – receives an overwhelming number of requests to support charitable initiatives. The Drink Up concept appealed to her personally.
"With the exception of my morning coffee," Ms. Minkoff says, "I only drink water."

Free event focuses on eye care, shopping on a budget and more
RANDOLPH – A diabetes diagnosis can be overwhelming. But Gifford Medical Center is striving to make living with diabetes easier this March when it holds its eighth annual free Diabetes Education Expo.
Sharing everything from eating healthy and cooking on a budget to simple exercises one can do at home, the March 15 expo aims to provide a "Road Map to Managing Your Diabetes."
Also covered will be eye care in a talk by Dr. Dean Barcelow of Bethel's Eye Care for You and a discussion by behavioral health specialist Sam Medved on the steps and challenges of making lifestyle changes. A cooking demonstration will be provided and vendor booths will include the latest in diabetes products as well as help from Gifford's Blueprint Community Health Team in overcoming obstacles to successful self-management.
According to 2011 data from the American Diabetes Association, 25.8 million children and adults, or nearly 8.3 percent of the population, have diabetes nationally. In Vermont, the disease affects more than 55,000 people, according to the Department of Health.
Diabetes is marked by high levels of blood glucose resulting from the body not producing or improperly using insulin – the hormone needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy for daily living.
To remain healthy, diabetics must have regular checks of eyes, feet, teeth and more and they must take an active role in managing their diabetes through diet, exercise, monitoring their blood glucose and taking medications, if required.
"A diabetes diagnosis and daily living can be overwhelming because it can mean lots of lifestyle or behavior changes," says Gifford certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian Jennifer Stratton. "I often recommend gradual changes that are doable for the patient and don't break the bank.
"This year's Diabetes Education Expo is an extension on that. We'll talk about how to buy healthy foods on a budget, we'll demonstrate cooking healthy foods to make them delicious and enjoyable, and we'll show you simple exercises that you can do at home, without a gym membership or high-tech equipment."
In fact, there's a lot a diabetic can do to manage their disease – even their eye health.
Diabetes can damage small blood vessels in the eye's retina, the back part of the eye. Diabetes also increases one's risk of having glaucoma, cataracts and other eye problems.
Dr. Barcelow, an optometrist, will share what he's looking for in the eye when it comes to signs of disease and talk about what patients can do prevent eye problems.
"I like to tell my patients that diabetes is kind of a lifestyle," he says, listing taking medications as prescribed, diet and exercise as keys to a successful diabetic lifestyle.
To hear Dr. Barcelow, Stratton and the event's other speakers map out diabetes self-management, sign-up for the expo by March 8. Seating is limited. Call Zach Bean at (802) 728-7100, ext. 6 to register.
The expo takes place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Use the southern entrance of the hospital (before the Thrift Shop) on Route 12 in Randolph. Get directions and learn more online at www.giffordmed.org.

When Pete Stark walks into a room nowadays, his supporters get a bit nervous.
As he entered a Hayward union hall last Saturday, campaign volunteers greeted the 20-term congressman with warm applause and then fell quiet as he got ready to speak, flanked by other local candidates and a few cute kids.
What, everyone seemed to wonder, would the famously unpredictable and irascible 80-year-old say today?
"It's the kids and the grandkids that are really important in this effort," Stark said. "It's important for these guys so we have education and health care for them. ... That's what this is all about."
The line brought more applause and, no doubt, a collective internal sigh of relief. This time, there was no mention of challenger Eric Swalwell, no calling him a "pipsqueak" or baselessly accusing him of a felony, as Stark did in April. There was no flash of the congressman's legendary temper, no threat to politically crush those who cross him, as there was in August.
This was the Pete Stark many East Bay voters have known and loved for 40 years, but it was also the Pete Stark who's now mired in a campaign of contradictions.
He's in the political fight of his life -- against a fellow Democrat. He's in one of California's most fascinating House races, but one that means nothing to Congress' balance of power. Stark is running on his record, but is most to blame for elevating his insurgent challenger from distant long shot to serious contender.
For decades, no Republican could unseat this liberal lion in so heavily Democratic a district, and no primary challenger ever came close. But thanks to California's new "top two" primary system -- in which the top two vote-getters regardless of party go on to November's general election -- Stark now faces Swalwell, a Dublin councilman and Alameda County prosecutor.
The situation is poignantly familiar for Stark, an Air Force veteran and banker who first won office in 1972 by unseating an octogenarian, 14-term Democrat whom he cast as out of touch with a new electorate and modern times.
Swalwell, 31, correctly predicted that both the top-two primary and a radical redrawing of Stark's district, now including Dublin and other nearby communities, could boost his bid. And Swalwell correctly foresaw that Stark's well-known thin skin and sharp tongue might do some of his work for him.
But even after months of relentlessly baiting Stark by painting him as an out-of-touch politician who lives mostly in Maryland and has missed too many House votes, Swalwell still looked stunned at a candidates' forum last April in Hayward, where Stark accused him of taking "hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes" for Dublin land-use votes.
It wasn't true, and it took Stark more than a week to admit as much; even then, he made other accusations against Swalwell that he was later forced to retract. In the following weeks, he would goof up his facts during meetings with newspaper editorial boards.
MSNBC eventually picked up Swalwell's attack line that Stark has issued "more public apologies than Lindsay Lohan."
This is the kind of campaign other Democrats chose not to wage, or dared not. State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, for example, wants Stark's seat in Congress but wouldn't take him on. Ditto for Ro Khanna, a former Obama administration official who raised a jaw-dropping $1.2 million in 2011's last quarter with help from national Democratic benefactors, yet won't run until 2014, when it's widely expected Stark will retire if he's not defeated this year.
Yet nationally, "nobody cares," said Gary Jacobson, a UC San Diego expert in congressional elections, because most attention is fixed on who will control the House next year, and this will remain a Democratic seat no matter what.
With candidates of similar ideology, he said, voters base decisions on name recognition and personality. Stark has the name recognition, but perhaps not the more endearing personality. "These are the kinds of conditions under which some of the old guys get knocked off," Jacobson said.
Stark -- who finished six percentage points ahead of Swalwell in the June primary, while a conservative independent candidate failed to make the cut -- contends that Swalwell, with less than two years of experience in elected local office under his belt, is an over-ambitious novice who lacks the know-how to grapple with the next Congress' big issues, from budget cuts to implementation of Obamacare. Yet Stark since the primary has refused to meet Swalwell for more debates. He posts Web videos and sometimes shows up to rally campaign volunteers, but mostly he's lying low and letting his incumbency -- and a reservoir of affection he's built up among local liberals -- do the heavy lifting.
Stark told a reporter Saturday that it's gratifying to see second and even third generations of local voters coming out to support him. He's worked hard for the district, he said, and "it's been good to me."
But Swalwell on Wednesday said all those voters "count on their representative to speak for them in Washington and to them at home. But Congressman Stark is in hiding, and all we hear is the sound of silence."
On the campaign trail, Swalwell has kept calling attention, however obliquely, to Stark's age, either by jabbing at the Social Security benefits that Stark's kids collect or by going out of his way to make himself look as young and vital as possible -- training with county firefighters, sparring with a police dog and so on -- as if to say, "Look what I can do and Pete Stark can't."
He's also been knocking on doors all over the newly drawn 15th Congressional District in search of voters like Elisabeth Olander, 54, an independent-minded Democrat who's married to a Republican and was eager to chat with the candidate on her doorstep one evening early last month.
"I believe if you want the job, you should go door to door and tell us why," she said. "I respect you for doing that."
Stark, who started using a cane in recent years, relies on longtime supporters like those at the union hall last weekend.
They included Oakland resident Susan Hammer, 65, who lives outside the district but said she's glad to walk precincts for him. "He's always been vocal in terms of working families, working class people," she said. "That's why I'm a Pete Stark fan: He's kept his focus. He hasn't strayed from the path."
This year, however, the path is bumpier. Abel Maldonado, who as a state senator in 2009 masterminded the top-two primary, says the new system means Stark "cannot kick back and relax. He's got to campaign, he's got to keep talking to the people in that district ... and that's good for that area."

Stark's campaign gaffes
April 10: At a candidates' forum in Hayward, Stark says Swalwell accepted "hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes" from Dublin-area developers -- and that Swalwell has a spotty voting record.
April 18: Stark issues a statement apologizing for having "misspoke" in making the April 10 allegations, but voices "concerns about my opponent's behavior" including Swalwell's votes for projects "by developers who have been raided by the FBI" and "have plead [sic] guilty to destroying natural habitats."
May 1: At a San Francisco Chronicle editorial board meeting, Stark accuses a columnist of having contributed to Swalwell's campaign. Pressed for evidence, he flips through a folder he said was compiled by his 16-year-old son, finds nothing to back his claim, and apologizes. In the same meeting, he confuses defunct Fremont solar manufacturer Solyndra with electric-car manufacturer Tesla.
May 3: At a Bay Area News Group editorial board meeting, Stark acknowledges he lacked evidence to back his April 18 claims: "I'll concede to that, apologize for it, and let's get back to issues."
July 3: At a Union City event, Stark gets angry as reporters ask whether his age is an issue in this race. Asked why he won't debate Swalwell, he replies, because "we'd only get stupid questions like you're asking that have nothing to do with issues."
Aug. 8: Former Assembly Majority Leader Alberto Torrico, D-Newark, tells the Chronicle that when he called Stark to say he would be endorsing Swalwell, Stark responded by yelling at him, questioning his sanity and vowing that if Torrico ever ran for office again, "I will squash you."

Stark, swalwell: The issues
Rep. Pete Stark: Even after 40 years in the House of Representatives, the incumbent says he still has more to do, such as protecting Medicare and Social Security for future generations; cutting military spending; advancing education bills for disadvantaged children; and bringing home more federal funding for local infrastructure projects. He's proud of having authored the COBRA health-insurance continuation law; helping to craft the Affordable Care Act; and securing aid for workers laid off from the NUMMI auto plant.
Eric Swalwell: The challenger notes how Dublin successfully controlled costs in recent years, including a deal with workers on pension contributions. He wants to see such fiscal discipline in Washington, where the national debt threatens national security. And he talks about leveraging research at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and elsewhere to create a "Green Valley" where the clean technology industry can take root.
Both of the contenders would raise the Social Security payroll tax cap and scale up the retirement age. Swalwell would repeal the "No Child Left Behind" education law, which he says labels schools as failures without giving them tools for success and handcuffs teachers with excessive testing; Stark would amend the law so teachers are evaluated and rewarded for good work with less emphasis on teaching to tests. And both call for a speedier-than-planned withdrawal from Afghanistan and continued sanctions and diplomatic pressure -- not military force -- to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

PHOENIX -- In the midst of a heated rivalry, Madison Bumgarner has developed a friendship with Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw. When the reigning Cy Young Award winner threw a no-hitter earlier in the week, the prevailing thought in Los Angeles was that the historic feat always had been bound to happen one day.
With Bumgarner, it's starting to feel the same way.
The 24-year-old Giants left-hander was brilliant at Chase Field on Sunday, pitching into the ninth inning and giving up just two hits in a 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Through eight innings, the lone Diamondbacks hit was an infield single. As Bumgarner cruised through the first, showing a firm fastball, tight slider and much-improved curveball, manager Bruce Bochy briefly thought that Bumgarner might not allow a base runner. Behind the left-hander, other Giants also started to ponder the possibility of something special.
"I always think that," shortstop Brandon Crawford said. "It doesn't matter what he did the previous start or who we're playing. When you have Bumgarner on the mound, you're pretty confident going in."
Having lost six of seven, largely because of poor pitching, the Giants desperately needed a positive day. Bumgarner was up to the task.
He had a quick first inning, including a three-pitch strikeout of Diamondbacks star Paul Goldschmidt, and got the first two outs of the second. Former teammate Cody Ross then hit a slow roller toward third, and Bumgarner rushed off the mound, slid to scoop the ball and threw a one-hopper to first from his knees. Joaquin Arias, filling in for Michael Morse (back tightness), couldn't make the scoop.
"It was a tough hop," Bumgarner said. "Nine times out of 10, he comes up with it."
Bumgarner didn't give up another hit until the ninth. He walked Goldschmidt twice but got out of one of those innings by snagging a lined shot up the middle and doubling off Goldschmidt at first.
"I'll take it however I can get it," Bumgarner said, smiling.
He got seven outs on strikeouts and nine on ground balls, including a highlight play from the new Giants second baseman. In his first major league start, Joe Panik charged a two-out chopper by Ender Inciarte in the sixth and glove-flipped the ball to first. Panik said he knew the speedy Inciarte from the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, and the play is one he practices before games. Bochy had received good reports on Panik's defense in recent weeks, so he wasn't all that surprised.
"I have a son in Triple-A," said Bochy, whose son Brett is a relief pitcher for the Fresno Grizzlies. "He was telling me what a great job (Panik) was doing."
Panik was in the middle of a late rally that gave Bumgarner three insurance runs. The Giants had taken a 1-0 lead on Tyler Colvin's fifth-inning double, and Hunter Pence, Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford had base hits in the ninth to make it 3-0. Panik fouled off three pitches from tough left-hander Joe Thatcher before lofting an RBI double to deep left-center field.
"That's a great at-bat," Bochy said. "He has a short stroke and doesn't try to do too much. It's nice to have that in a left-handed bat, a guy who can hit lefties."
In the fifth inning, Panik had picked up his first career hit, a single to left off right-hander Mike Bolsinger. It was one of three commemorative balls sitting in Panik's locker after the win, along with the one from his first RBI and his first walk, which came Saturday night. After Panik lined his first hit, Pablo Sandoval scooped up the keepsake and then threw a fourth ball into the stands, trying to fool the rookie. Panik didn't, well, panic.
"I'm not going to lie," Panik said. "I've seen that trick before."
When Panik was stranded on second after the hit, Pence brought him his glove and gave him a pat on the back. Crawford, Arias, Colvin and Gregor Blanco then approached for handshakes and hugs.
"That's when it kind of hit me," Panik said. "Everybody was like, 'Congratulations! Attaboy!' It really sunk in that I got my first hit. It was a special moment."
The rest of the plaudits were reserved for Bumgarner, who had one previous shutout, a one-hitter in 2012 that came 15 days after Matt Cain's perfect game. He was at 103 pitches heading into the ninth, but a Crawford error and an infield single off Sandoval's glove ended Bumgarner's day. The Diamondbacks pushed a run across off Sergio Romo, but he picked up his 22nd save.
The late blemish didn't matter to Bumgarner, who is 4-1 with a 1.64 ERA over his past six starts. He was simply thrilled to have helped the Giants win a second straight after a six-game losing streak.
"It's time for us to start working our way out of this now," he said. "We knew that."

States are on the front line of human and social service delivery. Significant services provided by states include the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and various programs that include federal block grants to states for an array of social services. In fiscal 2011, it is estimated that total public assistance, including TANF, represented 1.6 percent of total state expenditures. Federally funded human and social service programs have generally received stable but level funding over the past several years.

Woodland vs. North Branford should be a shootout
Only once in the 127-year history of Connecticut high school football has there ever been a game that featured more aerial firepower than the one set for today's Class S semifinals.
No. 7 Woodland (8-3) faces No. 3 North Branford (11-0) at 12:30 p.m. at Meriden's Falcon Field. It's not only a rematch of the 2005 Class SS semis, when the Hawks took a 27-7 win, but more importantly it's a meeting of the state's statistical top two quarterbacks.
Woodland junior Tanner Kingsley leads the state with 2,996 passing yards and a state-record 47 touchdown passes. North Branford senior Brandan Basil is second in both categories with 2,579 yards and 39 scores.
Their combined 5,575 passing yards is second-most between two quarterbacks entering one game, just shy of the 5,802 yards put up by Masuk's Casey Cochran and New Canaan's Matthew Milano heading into their 2010 Class L final.
Kingsley's and Basil's 86 combined passing touchdowns, though, are 10 more than Cochran and Milano had two years ago and the most ever.
Even though it's a game of historic proportions, North Branford coach Mark Basil said his team's game plan will be the same as in its first 11 games.
"We're not treating it any differently than any other game," he said. "We'll take what the defense will give us. Fortunately, we have a balanced attack. We have a number of guys in different positions we want to get the ball to."
Basil's son, Brandan, engineers an offense that has scored more than 40 points in all but one game. His favorite target is Chris Caron (887 yards, 15 TDs), but Joe Delucia (660 yards, 13 TDs) and Alex McGuigan (540 yards, seven TDs) are close behind.
Woodland has been hot and cold against spread offenses this season. The Hawks shut down St. Paul early in the regular season, but could not contain Wolcott early last month.
To prepare for Basil's slinging, Woodland coach Tim Shea said his starting defense got plenty of looks against Kingsley in practice Friday and Saturday.
"Hopefully, when the ball goes up, we're there for it and can come down with it," Shea said. "There are going to be a lot of momentum changes in this game. With the short turnaround, it might come down to who makes the fewest mistakes."
Both teams are used to momentum swings. Woodland rallied from a 16-point deficit in the quarterfinals to beat Capital Prep while North Branford came back from 16 down to defeat Hyde on Thanksgiving eve.
Those comebacks are sticking with each team.
"It showed that no matter what, we have a shot," Shea
See HAWKS, Page 4C
said. "The kids have confidence right now and hopefully that helps us move on."
"We have confidence that we'll be in every game right up to the end," Basil said. "The team that went 9-1 last year, a majority of these guys returned. This group of kids is special and they have a lot of chemistry."
The Thunderbirds don't exclusively throw the ball. Running back Dale Hausman has 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns this year, and has been crucial in each of their last two wins, according to Basil.
"The Hyde game, we came out and figured they were trying to defend the pass," Basil said. "In the second half, we tried to stretch them on the perimeter. The last game against (Trinity Catholic), we did a lot with our running game. We have a little twist for our offense."
Whatever North Branford's offense does, Shea said tackling and confidence need to remain firm.
"We need to tackle better," Shea said. "We need to play better and more confident on defense. This time of year, everyone is going to move the ball and score, so we have to get it in our heads that if people move the ball and score, it's not the end of the world."
Woodland doesn't plan on straying too much from its offense, although the Hawks may try to build upon their second-half rushing success against Capital Prep.
"We're not going to trend away from what got us here," Shea said. "We'll have a few wrinkles in, and if that means running the ball more, we'll do it. If it means throwing the ball more, believe it or not, we'll do that. We have a lot of tools in our toolbox, and we'll have to use them to win."
If the Hawks somehow find a way to throw more than they already do, Basil said his defense will be ready and eager to slow Kingsley and his receivers, especially Anthony Scirpo (1,087 yards, 23 TDs) and Rahmi Rountree (737 yards, 12 TDs).
"They're excited about the challenge," said Basil, whose defense has made 19 interceptions this year. "They're really looking to get after it. We're well aware of what (Kingsley has) done. Our defensive front knows they have to get pressure and our secondary knows it has to make plays."

Coyote drags 2-year-old girl at S. Calif. cemetery
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
CYPRESS, Calif. (AP) — A 2-year-old girl is recovering after she was bitten and dragged by a coyote at a Southern California cemetery.
The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/1baABM7 ) reports Klarissa Barrera, of Long Beach, was given a rabies shot and treated for a 2 1/2-inch gash on her calf.
She was attacked 10 feet from her mother Thursday as the family visited a relative's grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Cypress.
Michelle Luper says the coyote bit her daughter on the back and dragged her toward some bushes. Luper says she screamed and lunged, and the coyote let go.
State wildfire officials later shot and killed three coyotes at the cemetery.
Experts say coyote attacks on people are rare and this was the first reported in Orange County this year.

Really great program you have here . I'm having a bit of trouble with MKV embedded subs. I mostly use this app to stream HQ Anime episodes from my computer to PS3. Which works great for the most part. However, for some reason MEncoder won't pick up the subtitles in some of the MKV files. Some work and some don't. I don't even know where to begin to figure out why. I've tried toggling many different options to no avail.
Anyone else have any similar issue with MKV and the embedded subs? When I play the MKV file via Zoom Player + CCCP codec pack the subs work fine. Just not when using PS3 Media Server.

The Dangers of Imported Medicines
Importing prescription medications can be risky. The prevalence of counterfeit drugs is soaring overseas, growing 118% in 2008 alone. A patient taking a counterfeit medication may not be getting the correct dose or may not be getting any real medicine at all. Especially for patients facing cancer or other life-threatening diseases, the consequences of counterfeit drugs are frightening to contemplate.
Beyond the risk of counterfeit drugs, imported medicines present additional hazards. In the U.S., pharmaceutical manufacturers are held to high standards in all phases of production. The FDA routinely inspects pharmaceutical manufacturing plants to ensure compliance with the agency's Good Manufacturing Practices.
To protect the American public, the FDA requires that prescription drugs in the U.S. be shown to be both safe and effective prior to being sold. Throughout the drug approval process, pharmaceutical manufacturers must prove that they can consistently produce medications of expected strength, quality, and purity. The FDA also reviews labeling to ensure healthcare professionals and patients have the information necessary to understand a drug's risks and proper use.
The FDA identifies a range of potential problems associated with imported medicines:
• Quality assurance concerns. Medications that have not been approved for sale in the U.S. may not have been manufactured under quality assurance procedures designed to produce a safe and effective product.
• Presence of untested substances. Imported medications and their ingredients, although legal in foreign countries, may not have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness with the same rigor we use for drug approval in the U.S. These products may be addictive or contain other dangerous substances.
• Risks of unsupervised use. Some medications, whether imported or not, are unsafe when taken without adequate medical supervision. You may need a medical evaluation to ensure that the medication is appropriate for you and your condition. Or, you may require medical checkups to make sure that you are taking the drug properly, it is working for you, and that you are not having unexpected or life-threatening side effects.
• Labeling and language issues. The medication's label, including instructions for use and possible side effects, may be in a language you don't understand or may make medical claims and suggest specific uses that have not been adequately evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
• Lack of information. An imported medication may lack information that would permit you to be promptly and correctly treated for an allergic reaction or dangerous side effect caused by the drug.
Help with Prescription Drug Costs
Patients facing high medical costs can be especially vulnerable to deception by illegitimate pharmacy sites selling imported medicines. At PhRMA, we recognize the importance of drug affordability. The high standards in the U.S. for drug research, medical clinical trials, and pharmaceutical manufacturing contribute to the plethora of excellent medications available to Americans, as well as to their costs.
Recently some state and local governments have attempted to reduce drug costs through importation programs. These programs, though well-intentioned, actually ended up costing taxpayers millions of dollars. For this reason, the programs were eventually shut down.
Fortunately there are safer, better ways to afford prescription drugs. Medicare helps millions of seniors and disabled citizens pay for the medications that will prolong and improve their lives. The pharmaceutical industry has also taken a leading role in prescription assistance through the creation of the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). The PPA has helped nearly eight million uninsured and underinsured Americans access patient assistance programs that provide free or nearly free medicines. Patients can get more information about PPA by calling 1-888-4PPA-NOW or by visiting its web site at www.pparx.org.

As of mother of two boys at Summit Middle School, I have had inquiries over the last three days questioning, "As a mother, aren't you worried about the safety of your children?" Upon reflection this is what I have decided: I am not so much worried about my children, but what is happening in our society and our world.
Please world, this needs to stop.

When I transcode using MEncoder, the colours are distorted in such way that half of the screen is grey the other part is, somehow, red. The sound and subtitles are working. This problem only happens when I play Breaking Bad, the IMMERSE releases.
When I transcode using VLC, the colours and subtitle are ok, but there is no sound.
When I transcode using tsmuxer, the colours and sound are ok, but subtitles are not working.
It's so frustrating seeing that each transconding engine has one little thing not working.

Hyundai Adds More Velosters to Recall Roster
Hyundai Motor Co. is recalling additional Veloster compact cars from the 2012 model year to fix a potential problem with their sunroofs that could cause the glass to shatter.
In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the car maker said the problem affects cars it built from July 4 through Oct. 31, 2011 that have optional panoramic sunroofs. The company said the sunroof assemblies may have been weakened during installation at the factory and could suddenly break while the vehicle is being driven.
In December Hyundai recalled about 13,500 Velosters for similar sunroof problems. The latest recall adds 5,835 2012 Velosters in the US, and 236 units in Puerto Rico, bringing the total to about19,600.
Under the recall, Hyundai dealers will inspect each car's sunroof and replace it if necessary. The recall is scheduled to begin next month. Owners may contact Hyundai at 800-633-5151.

Norwich voters on Tuesday rejected a $33.4 million bond question that would have allowed the city to construct a new police station downtown.
Residents voted 7,254-4,178 against the measure, which was backed by Mayor Peter Nystrom, Police Chief Louis J. Fusaro Sr. and a bipartisan majority of the City Council.
"The people expressed themselves, and that's all you can ask for," Nystrom said Tuesday night. "If this is your decision, you have to respect it."
Fusaro echoed that.
"Obviously we're disappointed, but we also accept the will of the voters. It was their decision to make," he said.
Proponents spent months trying to make the case that the department's existing 29,000-square-foot facility at 70 Thames St. is woefully small and presents safety and privacy issues for users.
But many people balked at the price tag, saying it was too steep a cost when the economy remains weak.
"I think it's a lot of money," said Liz Baldwin, who voted against the measure. "It's a hard thing for people to justify in their minds if they want to support it."
Throughout the day, off-duty and retired police officers campaigned in support of the proposed 57,000-square-foot building, which officials wanted to build at 2-6 Cliff St.
Many, including Fusaro, visited polling places holding signs that read "Vote YES!" and "Help Us Help You."
Chris Nott, a city police officer, said early Tuesday he was hopeful taxpayers would see the need for the new building.
"We need the new station. We need the new location, we need the bigger space. It's a good plan," Nott said.
The City Council in August voted 6-1 in favor of putting the bond item on November's ballot, saying residents should have ultimate say over the project. Proponents, including Fusaro, Nystrom and City Manager Alan Bergren said the planned complex would meet the needs of the department for up to 100 years.
The 2-6 Cliff St. site is more than double the size of the existing police headquarters, and officials say its proximity to major access routes makes the location ideal. They also believe it will be a catalyst for the revitalization of downtown, though the completed building would not have a retail aspect.

Share your experiences with the Survivor Harbor 7, 2010 below Back to event details page.
The Active Survivors Network (ASN) and Smalltimore Events have joined forces to present a commemorative and unique pre race party for the Survivor 7 race on June 11th 4pm till 8pm. Smalltimore Events, a local based company that works with Baltimore?s business, charities, restaurants, musicians, artists and various communities has contributed special concepts and ideas to complement the ASN for this important fundraising event.
Pre-race festivities include a spacious social beer and wine garden in the Canton Can Company foyer with live music from The Radio Dials and DJ Stylo. The surrounding community is welcome to join the participants of the Survivor 7 race during and after the packet pickup for this event. Come network and socialize with the runners and volunteers while enjoying food samples and perks from local businesses.
A new concept is the Can Company Passport, which is a one of a kind voucher which for only $30 you are rewarded with $80 towards the Can Company restaurants. Participating restaurants are Outback Steakhouse, Field House, Austin Grill and Langermanns. This Passport is truly a perk and we hope all participants will take advantage of this while staying for the music and atmosphere.
The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.
Race was well organized. Start time was too late. Weather needs to be taken into consideration. Another water/gatordate stop would have been nice. Hard to wait around so long when doing a point-to-point race. Probably will not run again unless an earlier start time.
The starting line for the 4-miler was not marked at all - and volunteers that we asked did not know where it was. We received answers like "it's up there somewhere". Also, it was an extremely hot day and there were not enough water stations. Other than those 2 things, the walk was good! We will definitely do it again next year. At least now we know where the starting line is.
I loved the course and the race was very well organized. The weather is always a gamble this time of year but can you start the 7 mile race earlier, and add mile markers with splits next year.
This race has a pretty big field of Wheelchair Racers and Handcyclist thanks to the race organizers care and hospitality for such athletes. I hope that the divisions are continued and grows because we need more metro area races that pays attention to these athletes. With that in mind, the course can be improved by changing it to avoid bad roads or paving the parts that are rough. In specific, the road we start on is horrible! If this races hopes to become a premier event for wheeled athletes, this will need to be remedied. Other than that, this is a great event for our divisions and I hope it grows!
I agree with previous commenter. The start time is too late for a June run. It was hot and there are stretches of this race with no escape from the sun which is right in front of you. I liked the shuttle the starting points but like others, was confused where the start was and I did the 7 miles.
As for the route, I thought it was sheer torture that you ran past the finish and then looped around. I understand it's a logistic issue but I'd rather run and extra 1-2 miles in a small loop at the beginning then the end.
LOVED that they had cold watermelon at the finish. Ever warm weather race should do that!
Other then that it was a fun route! I'd love to do it again if it started at 7 or 7:30 to escape the heat a bit.
This is a great cause and a great course, however, 8am is just too late of a start time.
Also, this is the second year in a row that I have done this race, the second year it was dangerously hot, and the second year in a row they have run out of water at the finish line. Also, need bigger cups at the water stops.
Well said: The start time is too late for a June, 7 mile run, especially with so few water/aid stations. A 7am start and another water station would help considerably The people with water spray along the course really helped with the heat but there isn't much of an escape from the bright sun. Still curious if the mistake with the results has been resolved yet. I have not found the results listed other than at the finish. I doubt I will come to Baltimore for a 8am start for the 7 miler
In response to the comment about not having water at the finish... I went back after most people had left and there was tons of water left....
Agree about needing more water stations and that the start time was a bit too late. It was HOT.
An earlier start time would definitely be advised since the temperature was BRUTAL by 8:30am. I'm not sure if the two people spraying runners with water were associated with SH7 or not, but I'd like to give them a big shoutout! For hot days like this past Sunday, more water stations and more water sprayers would be great! The route was fairly good; I liked how we ran thru the inner harbor walkway instead of Pratt St. I did not like running on the cobblestones in the Harbor East roundabout. But it was so short so it wasn't that bad
especially because the taller buildings provided some brief shade. The most brutal part for me was running down Aliceannasuper straight. I would've like to break up that up with some turns...Boston St. wasn't as bad since it curves a bit. I don't know, this is probably ticky-tack stuff. Overall, it was a great race with great end-race amenities--watermelon, bagels, energy bars, etc. Thanks to Field House for opening up and letting people feel the cool AC! I'll definitely be running in 2011.
I have run this event 5 years in a row. I think an 8am start time is fair due do key logistical considerations. Because it's a point to point race, those who have to park at the finish line and catch buses to the start have to be there over an hour before the start of the race. If the race started at 7am, that would push everything up an hour which would be very early and might discourage a lot of people from running. (I live 30 minutes outside of the city so I already have to wake up at 5:15am to catch the shuttle bus on time. I would not enjoy waking up an hour earlier than that.) Normally it is not blisteringly hot in June. This year was an exception. I don't think the start time should change in the future simply because of one hot day.
I have a recommendation for how to improve on this year's race. First, the mile markers were tough to find. I only saw mile 3 and mile 5. It would be helpful for runners to clearly see the mile markers for every mile. It makes pacing the run much easier, and as a runner I would feel better knowing my mile splits so that I did not burn out before the end of the race, especially on such a hot day.
I thought the packet pickup and post-race events were fine. It seems that the post-race amenities were a little skimpy this year though. Bagels, watermelon, bananas, and energy bars are a meager selection compared to the goods that have been offered in the past. Some type of fruit or sports drink like Gatorade would also be good. After 7 miles, some people might like replenishing with something other than water.
Other than that, it was a great race and I enjoyed it. Thanks again!
A few simple changes would make this race MUCH more enjoyable:
1) Clear and calibrated mile markers. For the second year in a row, the mile markers were not in the right places and volunteers standing along the route to guide runners gave out erroneous information (for example, one said "almost at the 2-mile mark" when we were easily at 2.4). This is very disorienting.
2) More water stations. The shot glass size water cups across from the Can Company were a joke! It was dangerously hot and while it's not so hot every year, the organizers need to be responsive to the conditions and be prepared. I passed several runners who were dehydrated and sitting on the curb. People who were running with water were very kind in sharing with them. However, by mile-5, even those of us running with water had none left to share.
I don't know that I will run this race again next year. The organizers need to be more responsible in providing a safe and organized. race.
I usually have a great time at this race with no criticism and high praises, but this year two things were really frustrating:
1. The announcer said that the race was going to be starting 5 minutes late. I was waiting for friends to use the bathroom, so we made are way to the start line a few minutes after 8... only to find there was NO start line because they had already removed the timing mats. And there were a lot of people behind us who also didn't get a chip time, not just a few stragglers.
2. The cups at the aid station were too small for people to hydrate properly on a hot day without having to take multiple cups, causing some of the aid stations to run out (at least temporarily, according to a friend).
I have run this race a few years back and again this year. I enjoy the route and its nice that it takes us through Baltimore's hotspots. However, I did not anticipate the intense sun and heat that I was going to endure. One more water station with bigger cups and several more people spraying hoses would have made a world of difference. In regards to the setup, I was disappointed with the mile marker signs and how they were missing, upside down, and even backwards! And lastly, I don't quite understand why the chip timers weren't distributed with our packet pickup. I really wish it was made more clear or emphasized that a second pick up for the chips was needed to be made. However, I am confused as to why should we spend a Friday and Sat going to pick up packets just to stand in line again to pick up chips on Sunday am? I would have rather had chip pickup with registration and have the race start earlier. Probably won't run again given how frustrated I am with not having a timing chip, having to do two packet pickups, how hot it was to run, lack of water stations and mile markers.

The Silverthorne Town Council and the Silverthorne Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) have announced the second year of the Silverthorne Business Grant Program.
Introduced in 2012, the two-track program offers "site enhancement" grants to Silverthorne businesses for traditional improvements such as façade improvements or architectural upgrades, and "economic development" grants for capital improvements that would bring new jobs or other positive economic impact to the community.
The grants are funded from the Town Council budget, which awarded $43,000 to a total of six businesses in 2012. Interest in the grant program was high even at its beginning, with more than 20 applicants representing funding requests totaling $223,881. The application process is competitive and each request is reviewed by EDAC, a community-based advisory group formed by the council to aid economic development decisions. Grants are open to any commercial business within Silverthorne.
"It was very successful," said Eddie O'Brien, EDAC chair, of the program last year. "The success is based on two things - one, if it improves the business, the income to the business, and number two is, of course, will it increase the number of people that work in that business."
Vista Auto Group, for example, with the funds granted for economic development, purchased the machinery and equipment needed to open a new oil change operation in the building. This led to the hiring of several more employees.
From the site improvement side of things, Red Buffalo Coffee and Tea received a grant to put in a patio with tables and chairs behind the shop, connecting it with the Blue River Trail and recpath.
"We constantly get compliments on it," said owner Erin Young of the new patio. "People come to enjoy a cup of coffee or a pot of tea by the river."
Increasing clients and customer flow is one of the goals of the grant program, O'Brien said.
"We want that economic impact. We're getting ready to go again this year," he said. "Everyone has had a success story with it."
According to Young, the grant program is a much-appreciated show of support from the town.
"I think it's amazing. Over the past three years I've noticed a significant increase in the level of support form the town council and the town of Silverthorne in general for small businesses," she said. "It's such a nice way for them to show their support.
"A lot of the little guys are really appreciating it," she added.
Both EDAC and the council are looking forward to the next round of applications in 2013, said Ryan Hyland, assistant town manager.
"It's just one of the programs that we have in our economic development menu that helps the town to help our local businesses be successful," he said. "At the end of the day, the town can only be as successful as our businesses are."
The 2013 Silverthorne Business Grant Program application deadline is 5 p.m. on May 8. Complete program details and applications are available at www.silverthorne.org and Town Hall, 601 Center Circle, Silverthorne.

Atherton teenager CiCi Bellis is enjoying the attention from her surprising first-round U.S. Open win.
The 15-year-old Bellis was seemingly everywhere in the media world Wednesday, one day after she upset the world's 13th-ranked player in the first round. Eyes will be on her Thursday when she plays in Round 2 against 20-year-old Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.
Bellis, a home-schooled 10th-grader, doesn't seem too bothered by all the attention.
"I like it," Bellis told the New York Post on Wednesday. "I really like it. But I definitely have to focus and move on from (Tuesday's) match and not think too much about it anymore."
Bellis told reporters she isn't turning pro any time soon. She will reject her winnings from one of the world's richest tournaments, which amounted to $60,420 after her first-round win.
"I think I'm definitely going to stay an amateur right now to keep my options open for college, in case an injury or something happens," Bellis told the London Telegraph. "But I'd love to be a pro one day. I don't really think about it (the prize money). I mean, I try to just focus on the tennis rather than anything else."
Bellis' father, Gordon, told the New York Post that surrendering some $60,000 in winnings is one thing, but ...
"There are bigger things out there than money," he said. "If she were to win the finals, then we would be having a different discussion." The women's winner of the U.S. Open is expected to pocket nearly $2 million.
Bellis reached the Open as a wild-card entrant, a right she earned by winning the national 18-and-under title nearly three weeks ago in San Diego. She is the youngest player in the draw.
"I love it when people watch me," Bellis told reporters in New York. "It gives me more energy and makes me play better." She's slated to be last up on Court 17 on Thursday.
Win or lose, Bellis will make a big jump in the world rankings. USA Today reports that even with a loss Thursday, Bellis will move up approximately 800 spots to somewhere around 430th. She entered the tournament ranked 1,208th. She is the No. 2-ranked junior in the world.
As her celebrity rises, perhaps Bellis will visit the set of a talk show or two.
"I love Ellen (DeGeneres)," Bellis told reporters. "I think I would want to go on 'Ellen.' "
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Luxurious Ride
Whether you want to cruise the lakes, rivers or just hang out at your favorite beach and take a dip, the 225 RE Legend will deliver you there in style and luxury.
Premier 225 RE Legend
By Capt. Bob Smith
Honda brought nine boats together on Lake Lanier in Georgia to put their 2007 model engines to the test and. Premier has been producing high quality pontoons for many years and the 225 RE Legend is no exception. Whether you want to cruise the lakes, rivers or just hang out at your favorite beach and take a dip, the 225 RE Legend will deliver you there in style and luxury. Not only do you get a luxurious ride, but you also have something left over to customize your pontoon to your specific standards.
Starting Up Front
The Premier 225 RE Legend comes with anodized and media blasted rails with side panels that are siliconed into place, then crimped to ensure rattle-free service for years to come. Spaces are at the bottom to allow good drainage and air flow under the seat bases. The docking lights and horn are mounted in the front edge of the deck to get them close to the water where they will be most effective. Topside, the cleats allow good sized lines to pass through and securely tie your boat to its dock slip. The wide bow gate allows easy passage from the dock into the bow seating lounge area.
Seating up front is comfortable and plush, they are built with hinged bottom cushions over roto-molded bases and features carpeted toe-kick space. The port lounger back is hinged to allow tall items such as fenders to be stored vertically. The roto-molded seat bases are self draining and offer a ton of storage capacity. Courtesy lights provide enough light on the floors to make sure you can get around after dark.
At the Helm
The fiberglass helm station features a storage compartment and allows for access to the electrical connections under the dash. The upper half of the opening is dedicated space for a small first aid box. Next to the driver's seat on the starboard wall is a cargo net storage pocket for charts and magazines. Rocker control switches and a 12 volt receptacle manage power and provide a source to charge portable gear. Faria gauges have bright chrome bezels. The Kenwood stereo is mounted to the left of the wheel so the driver can control the tunes on board. The Flexsteel captain's seat is very comfortable and features a headrest, flip arms on both sides, and seat adjustments. There is also plenty of leg room at the helm so you don't feel cramped up while driving.
Aft Seating
Back in the aft section, is an "L" shaped lounger seating arrangement which encourages the friends and family to join you on the ride out to your favorite spot on the water. When it is time to serve snacks, you can set up a table to lay out your spread. The battery tray is located in the aft seat base and easy to access. When the sun is too strong or the rain starts, the bimini top can be set up quickly thanks in part to the quick release stainless steel fittings.
Moving on back is another gate at the stern. The back above the stern lounger offers some room to stretch out and enjoy the sun. And, when you need access, the aft section lifts to reveal the fuel tank and engine.
Specifications & Performance
The 225 RE Legend measures 22'9" length overall with a beam width of 8'6". She weighs in at approximately 2272 lbs and rides on 25" tubes.
Honda had powered this 225 RE Legend with their all-new 75-hp 4-stroke outboard. I found this engine provided great power making the 225 RE easy to handle and her perfect for a family with young, eager drivers.
If you are looking for all-around luxury and comfort from a builder you can have confidence in, check out the Legend 225 RE from Premier.

Houma's Valhi extension opens to traffic
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 7:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 7:38 p.m.
The "road closed" barriers had just been removed at the intersection of Valhi and Equity boulevards.
Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet stood alongside a dozen other parish officials and contractors Thursday in the intersection where the ribbon across the new Valhi had just been cut.
The officials were discussing being first to drive on the road when out of nowhere a blue Volkswagen Beetle buzzed by on the new stretch just feet away from them.
"Well, I guess folks are excited to drive on it," one of the contractors commented with a laugh.
The new section of Valhi extends about three miles from Equity Boulevard behind a few subdivisions and through wetlands to connect with Savanne Road.
Jeanne Bray, capital projects administrator for Terrebonne Parish, said the route provides another option for those entering and exiting Houma's northwestern reaches as it runs parallel to La. 311, which experiences some clogging during heavy traffic hours.
The intention is to eventually extend the road to U.S. 90, though that plan is in the distant future, Bray said.
Claudet said the opening provided for a "momentous" day and noted the project was done nearly a year ahead of schedule.
The project cost $11.5 million and was paid for entirely by parish government. The extension is two lanes, though the right of way will be available to widen it to four at a later date.
Bray said the parish is now turning its attention to another local project, which is the extension of Bayou Gardens Boulevard from its intersection with Coteau Road to Bayou Blue Road. The parish is also paying for this $10 million project.
The mile and a half extension will include construction of a bridge crossing the St. Louis Bayou. The project will take more than a year and a half to complete as it is being done in two phases, Bray said.
The parish is also continuing construction on a new St. Anne Bridge over Bayou Terrebonne in Bourg. It is to be completed in August 2013.
The state Department of Transportation and Development also has several Terrebonne projects in the works.
The widening of Grand Caillou Road has been delayed three to six months because of difficulty acquiring the necessary rights of way to relocate utilities along the road.
The project is now slated to start midway through 2013. The two-lane road will be widened to five with a turning lane for a two-mile stretch.
Hollywood Road will also be widened next year from two to four lanes from the intersection of La. 3040 to La. 311. The $5.4 million project is set to begin late next year and will be paid for by federal money.
