Mike Pahl likes first-year varsity wrestler Austin Klintworth's attitude on the mat.
"Austin hates to lose," said the Warren wrestling coach. "He's a competitor, and he got his first win this past weekend."
At Saturday's 2012 Warren Burt Builders Wrestling Tournament at the Vincent-based high school, Klintworth claimed fifth place in the 152-pound weight class when he decisioned New Lexington's Austin Syferts in a wild one 19-14.

Warren senior Austin Antill, top, works to pin a John Glenn wrestler during the annual Burt Builders Invitational wrestling tournament at Warren High School on Dec. 8. Antill won the match.
"He just doesn't take losing very well," continued Pahl.
Overall, the Warren grapplers, the defending Burt Builders champion, finished third overall in a field of seven schools. John Glenn was first and Meadowbrook was runner-up.
"We missed tying for second place by one point," Pahl said. "Hopefully, we'll do better at Trimble."
Warren is scheduled to wrestle in the Ray Webster Invitational at Trimble High in Gloucester at 9:30 a.m. this Saturday. Also competing in the invite will be host Trimble, Waterford, Wellston, West Muskingum, and Marietta. This will be the first time this season that the Warriors and Bill Heldman-coached Tigers will be clashing on the mat.
"It's going to be a tough meet, and I'm hoping it'll be between us and Marietta at the end," Pahl said. "We'll only get to face them one more time this season in the sectional tournament."
Pahl said that next season a tentative tri-meet including Warren, Marietta and Belpre will be scheduled.
At the Webster invite, Warren will be featuring three undefeated grapplers in 113-pound sophomore Levi Congleton (6-0), 170-pound senior Austin Antill ((6-0) and 285-pound sophomore Brandon Pahl (5-0), the coach's son.
Congleton and Antill each was 4-0 in the Burt Builders tourney, while Brandon Pahl was 3-0.
Mile Pahl is counting on 120-pound senior Cory Parsons, a two-time district qualifier, to score points for the Warriors, also. Parksons was runner-up to Meadowbrook's Jarad Patterson at Burt Builders.
Warren juniors' Cody Dobbs (138 pounds) and Zach Pike (182) also finished second at Burt Builders. Senior Bradon Hewitt (145), Austin Miles (160), and Klintworth each was fifth.
According to Pahl, after wrestle-offs in practice this week, some of these Warriors in the middle weight divisions may drop down a weight class for this upcoming weekend's tournament.
"We have five boys in two weight classes," Pahl said. "But that's typical for a lot of schools."
Due to injuries to Isaac Gregor (132) and Chris Massey (220), and vacancies at 106 and 126, Warren will have four openings at the Webster Invitational.
Marietta also competed last Saturday at the John Marshall Invitational in Moundsville, W.Va., facing Buckhannon-Upshur, Calhoun County, McGuffey, Oak Glen, and host John Marshall.
Tiger seniors' Will Cogswell (182) and Nick Spurr (195) each went 4-1 at the meet. Sophomore Troy Smithberger (170) was 3-1 while sophomore Garrett Davis (160) was 3-2.
Junior Joshua Clark (106) and sophomore David Vann (113) each posted one victory at the duo.
One of Marietta's highlights at the duo meet in Moundsville was when in order Davis, Smithberger, Cogswell and Spurr each posted a mat win against Oak Glen. Other MHS grapplers expected to wrestle at Ray Webster will be freshman Malachi Vaughn (120), junior Scott Bricker (138, freshman Anthony Winters (145), and Josh Burke (170).
Waterford's wrestling roster includes senior Hunter Munjas (170), junior Austin Lang (132), sophomore Zeb Offenberger (120), sophomore Blake Heiss (182), junior Cody Mallic (160), junior Hunter Schrader (182), freshman Weston Wagner (138), and Tim Leach (132).
Lang is just four wins away from getting his 100th career win as a junior. The school record of 168 is held by Tyler Reed
The Wildcats are coached by Scott Zimmer.

Ashampoo Home Designer is a 3D home planning tool which makes it easy to see how your next home project will look, without having to pay for a professional designer.
You start by providing the dimensions of your room, then add walls, windows, doors, maybe carpets to create the initial shell. Then you'll add further objects - the tables, chairs, bath, TV cooker, whatever's appropriate - and reorganise, rearrange and relocate these until you find the layout you need.
And then you can dress it further for enhanced realism. Would your room look better with parquet flooring or granite tiles, for instance? Choose the appropriate material and you'll see, right away. You're even able to import your own photos to use as backgrounds, maybe a view of your garden as it will appear through the window, to give you the best possible idea of how your romm will appear in real life.
It's hard to tell what works from a standard 2D view, of course, so Ashampoo Home Designer also allows you to look at your new room from any angle and position: outside the room, inside, above or below, from the door, the window, with whatever perspective and zoom factor you like.
Whatever your viewpoint, professional lighting and ray-tracing algorithms mean the program will quickly deliver an attractive and very realistic view of your plan. And you can then share this with others in a variety of ways, from multiple bitmaps showing the room from every angle, to lists of the fixtures, fittings and materials you've used, perfect if you now want to ask a professional builder or other tradesman to carry out this work for you.
Go out and buy a new computer, turn it on for the first time and you'll be amazed how quickly it boots and launches the installed applications. Your first thoughts will be that you were right to sell your old PC as this one is so much more speedy that you have become more productive.
Result? You settle in to your old habits of installing and testing software, removing them from your system and quickly misunderstanding that it's the software that drives your computer, not the hardware. There's little difference between a 1-year-old PC and a brand number computer. They all rely on the same element and that's the operating system and installed applications.
After installing and removing software, then browsing the Internet for a few months, all sorts of temporary information is left strewn across your hard drive. Worse, the Registry, which is a database of information about your computer, is left with erroneous entries that point to long-deleted directories, link filetypes to applications that don't exist and even attempt to launch startup applications that were removed from your machine.
The answer is a system cleanser and there are few better tools than the free CCleaner. This tool will remove unwanted information, temporary files, your browsing history, huge log files and even the settings left behind by previously installed software. It also includes a Registry cleaner and optimiser, which will find and remove entries and streamline the database.
CCleaner doesn't stop there. It includes some security tools such as a data eraser so you can make sure files and information is completely removed from your PC.
This is CCleaner 5.21, which is a minor release. Changes include:
- Improved Chrome 52 History and Cache cleaning.
- Updated DOMStore cookie cleaning.
- Improved Auto-Update checking process.
- Improved crash reporting architecture.
- Updated Xilisoft Video Converter cleaning.
- Improved localization and language support.
- Minor GUI improvements.
- Minor bug fixes.

Giffords, who is still recovering from her injuries, spoke fewer than 20 words in the parking lot of the Safeway grocery store in her hometown of Tucson in a brief but emotional call for stricter gun control measures.
"Be bold. Be courageous," Giffords said. "Please support background checks."
At one point, Giffords pumped her fist in the air and grinned.
Other survivors joined Giffords at the news conference, along with her husband, Mark Kelly.
A gun control group started by Giffords and Kelly began airing a new television ad in Arizona and Iowa Tuesday urging Congress to take action. Giffords and Kelly support extending background checks to gun shows and Internet purchases. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to take up tougher firearm regulations Thursday. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, who sits on the committee, has criticized universal background checks.
"This discussion is not really about the Second Amendment," Kelly said.
Jared Lee Loughner, 24, was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, in the Tucson shooting. The rampage happened at a meet-and-greet event organized by Giffords outside the grocery store on Jan. 8, 2011.
Kelly said it was not difficult to return to the place where his wife nearly died. As he spoke, shoppers and vehicles moved throughout the ubiquitous shopping center that includes a nail salon, a Starbucks and dry cleaners. It smelled like grocery store fried chicken.
It's places like this, Kelly said, that Congress needs to make safer.
Supporters gave Giffords a standing ovation as she arrived at the event with her husband and staffers. With Kelly's help, Giffords walked directly to a memorial outside the supermarket honoring the victims of the shooting, where she placed a bouquet of white roses and daisies.
Kelly, who was not present when the shooting occurred, recalled the massacre that took place two years ago on a chilly morning. Loughner walked toward Giffords and shot her once in the head before directing fire at the crowd around her. He released 33 bullets in 15 seconds, Kelly said.
"It was clear that the shooter had a history of mental illness, but he had easy access to a gun," Kelly said. "If things were different, he would have failed that background check."
Giffords resigned from Congress last year. Kelly, a former astronaut, has been by her side during her recovery.
On Wednesday, Giffords occasionally rubbed her husband's back as he called for gun control reform and introduced the victims of the shooting. Many of the 13 wounded survivors underwent multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy.
Susan Hileman described her excitement before the 2011 event as she waited to introduce her 9-year-old neighbor, aspiring politician Christina-Taylor Green, to Giffords. Green was the youngest of those killed.
"I am tired of this," Hileman said. "If we can save one life, if we can keep one family from feeling this awful, empty ache, if we can do something, and if that something is a commonsense something, if that something is a responsible step ... then I wonder what the problem is, people?"
Emily Nottingham recalled that her son's bullet-ridden body was left on the sidewalk outside the supermarket for hours as investigators scrambled to make sense of the chaos. Her son, Gabe Zimmerman, Gifford's director of community outreach at the time, was 30 years old when he was shot.
"It's very hard to be here today," Nottingham said. "The system is riddled with holes—bullet holes. It needs to be fixed."

Nirvana headlining the Reading Festival in the UK in 1992 has come to be one of the single most bootlegged gigs of all time. It has been largely regarded as one of the most pivotal moments of Nirvana's career, and quite possibly their best show over their entire career.
It's finally being released on DVD and CD, both as a set and individually. The release on November 3rd contains all twenty five performances from the set list, which spanned the entire length of their career to that point ("Spank Thru" anybody?)

When she was out of work for much of 2008, Regina Jackson received help from Reach Out Lakota.
On Thursday, Jackson gave back, with help from Procter & Gamble.
Jackson recently won $1 million from the Ohio Lottery and said she intended to help ROL by donating 5,000 rolls of toilet paper.
When P&G heard about her offer, the company decided to donate 5,500 rolls itself, allowing Jackson's donation to go toward food and other items that Reach Out Lakota needed.
On Thursday morning, a truck rolled up, and volunteers unloaded box after box of Charmin toilet paper.

Fort Worth-based Pier 1 Imports reported higher sales and profits as superstorm Sandy tempered results
The period marked the first full quarter of e-commerce sales. "The level of both new and existing customer visits indicates the long-term opportunity is significant," said CEO Alex W. Smith.
The company also said it plans to spend $100 million to buy back its shares and it increased its quarterly cash dividend to shareholders by 25 percent to 5 cents a share.
Looking ahead to its fourth quarter, Pier 1 forecast a mid-single digit same-store sales increase and a profit in the range of 55 cents a share to 59 cents a share. That compares with 48 cents a share in the same quarter last year.
Pier 1 reported net income of $23.7 million, or 22 cents a share, in the quarter ended Nov. 24, compared with net income of $23.0 million, or 21 cents, a year ago. Results were lowered by about 2 cents a share due to the east coast storm and 1 cent a share due to the timing of certain taxes.
Third quarter total sales increased 10.9 percent to $424.5 million and same-store sales increased 7.9 percent. Management said same-store sales would have been about 9 percent if stores didn't closed due to the storm.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast a profit of 24 cents a share, without the 3-cents-a-share impact from the storm and taxes. The group forecast a total sales increase of 9.4 percent to $418.5 million.

Kristen Stewart said she struggled mightily in the days following her affair with "Snow White and the Huntsmen" director Rupert Sanders became public five months ago, but hinted that ordeal made her a stronger person.
"You have to be OK with your own fears," the "Twilight" star told Britain's The Sun. "If you're an honest person you'll make mistakes, but that's when the most interesting things happen."
Being chased nonstop by the paparazzi and having Robert Pattinson fans call you names on the Internet is now "interesting?"
The 22-year-old actress admitted she struggled with the media spotlight, but found a way to move on from her the affair.
"I used to just stay in my hotel room rather than deal with everything," she said. "But if you get too caught up in what others think you become a really disjointed person."
Stewart recently told the Huffington Post about her decision to finally step back into the spotlight following the difficult time. She said there was never any doubt she'd attend the screening of "On the Road" at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
"You should never step outside of your life and look at it like it's this malleable thing you can shape so that people view it a certain way," Stewart said. "I would never not have gone to something like that. I've been working on this for five years. I love this movie. I'm so proud of everyone involved -- I feel so strong standing next to them."
"I was asked a few times whether I was going to do it or, 'Oh, was it difficult for you? What made you stand up and do this?' It was like, why wouldn't I? It made so much sense to me. With the fans and stuff, it's just human energy that you simply cannot deny. People are standing there and sort of screaming for you and I'm not about to turn my back and walk away and go get warm inside, you know what I mean?"
Yes. Yes, we do.
Stewart and Pattinson, 26, are back together. They promoted the final film in the "Twilight" franchise, "Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" in November. "On The Road" opens in limited release on Dec. 21.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, May 2, 2012
MILNER, Ga. -- A drug addiction hurts more than just the person using. Often times, there are little victims.
Experts believe 80 to 90 percent of foster care placements have something to do with drug or alcohol abuse. That leaves mothers facing two battles: They fight to beat their addiction, and they fight to get their kids back. There's not a lot of help for mothers like this in our area, but soon, there could be.
"They're my world, " beamed Casey Vanhouten as she held up pictures of her two sons.
She laughed as she pointed to her youngest son, explaining why his hair obvious isn't his natural color.
"This was the night before his 10th birthday, and he said, 'Mom, I want green hair.' I said, 'If you want green hair, it's green hair you got.' His grandmother almost had a fit."
Now his grandmother, and not his mother, is the one raising them.
"When the DFCS lady showed up, I had been awake for three or four days."
Casey was using meth then every single day.
"It was bad. I mean, I always professed I was a good mom no matter what, but you're not a good mom if you don't handle things and make sure your children have a clean place to live and warm water to bathe in every night," she said.
Casey wasn't taking care of herself, either.
"I hadn't had a bath in nine days. I hadn't really ate. I was ready."
Casey was ready to come to the Potter's House for Women and give herself one more chance.
"I just kind of gave up. I was fixin' to kill myself. I said, 'If I can't have my kids, I don't want to live," she said.
She admits, however, she really hasn't been living the last two years.
Meth had taken over her life.
"It stole my soul."
Casey says she now has her soul back. The woman who couldn't put meth down hasn't picked it up in more than five months. Instead, she's picked herself up, and she's working to get her kids back.
No one believes in her more than Cherrie Burdeshaw. The woman who founded the Potter's House in 2000 invited Casey to come live there five months ago. Casey now has 14 housemates.
"Most of them have tried to take their lives before they actually came here," Burdeshaw said. "I'd say 80 percent of them at least."
Burdeshaw is often a last resort and a last hope, but for the first time, something is working.
"She's helped me find me and Jesus Christ. I'll owe her forever for that," Casey said.
But Casey also owes her nothing. Burdeshaw's seven-month program also includes room and board is free. The help, however, is priceless.
Burdeshaw is most proud of the internal transformation these women undergo, but that's not as easy to see as the before and after pics. She takes a photo of the women their second day at the Potter's House. Months later, they get a photo shoot. The change on the inside is reflected on the outside, and for the first time in a long time, when these women look in the mirror, they like what they see. They also like who they see.
Casey calls it "awesome," but Burdeshaw admits, it was accidental.
"I never thought it was going to work into a ministry like this," she said.
About 12 years ago, Burdeshaw bought a house to help women getting out of jail. And now, she's running a successful nonprofit, long-term rehabilitation facility she calls a Christian discipleship program. She's never held a single fundraiser, and it hasn't cost taxpayers a dime.
Augusta leaders and even some judges want to know her secret. She has the one and only Potter's House, but she's helping them get the second in Augusta. Casey, who graduates from the Potter's House in two months, is already getting visitation with her kids and hopes to have custody again soon.
"I think the world would be a better place to have Potter's Houses everywhere," Casey said.
So, what does it take to run a Potter's House? Imagine 15 or more women living under one roof, and it is not like a shelter. Burdeshaw says it has to be a nice house with nice things because it makes you appreciate and take care of what you have. It's about pride.
Again, she's never held a fundraiser. That, itself, is an accomplishment, especially in these economic times when nonprofits are collapsing every single day. News 12 asked her that, and the answer might surprise you. More of our exclusive interview with Burdeshaw is coming up Friday on News 12. Tomorrow, we'll give you a tour. Prepare to be impressed.

Out of the two MGB shows I saw this tour the MA show def. had a hometown crowd feel for Mike and a different energy present than my hometown show at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT. Don't get me wrong...the Toad's show was amazing, fast-paced and up close and personal. My friend Mark was able to meet and greet with Danny Barnes and Mike during the breaks. That show was amazing, but walking in late to the Pearl Street show and feeling like walking up that staircase was like floating to the pearly gates. That night Time was the revelator...bubbles filled the tightly-packed crowd as beers and smoke poured freely through the misty cold air. Mark Mercier was a real treat as all who jammed that night were...Danny Barnes had already left the tour and that may have had an effect on the overall sound of the night...this show was certainly not to be missed, and I'm hap-nappy I didn't! Northampton is a beautiful little town w/ several venues for great live music...if you can ever make it up there to a show try to get there early and walk around the town a bit. It's a hoot!

SAN JOSE -- When general manager Doug Wilson declared last month that the Sharks were in a rebuild phase, the 72 hours leading up to Friday night's NHL draft seemed to be the ideal time for a major trade -- maybe even one involving Joe Thornton or Patrick Marleau.
Now, every signal indicates that won't be happening.
For one thing, Thornton and Marleau have shown no intention of waiving clauses in their contracts that prevent Wilson from moving them at any time against their wishes. For another, Wilson says he is not in any hurry for events to play themselves out because he has seven picks in this week's draft and nine more in 2015.
"When you're in the rebuild, there's no panic or rush," the general manager said in his annual pre-draft session with reporters. "You do things at the right time. If we didn't have picks this year I'd be rushing to maybe get some picks. But we have the full complement."
Not that there haven't been plenty of trade possibilities brought up in the past two weeks.
ESPN hockey reporter Pierre LeBrun said the Detroit Red Wings have contacted Wilson to discuss Thornton. The Toronto Maple Leafs, according to a Toronto Sun report, are one of six teams calling the Sharks about their captain. There even has been speculation that Thornton would be a good fit on the New York Rangers, and at one point there was talk -- later shot down -- of a trade back to the Boston Bruins.
But Thornton, through his agent-brother John Thornton, has let it be known he has no interest in leaving San Jose after signing a three-year, $20.25 million contract extension in January. Maybe he would re-think that position if he felt fans wanted him to leave, his brother said two weeks ago, but so far there's been no groundswell for that.
Marleau, who signed his three-year, $20 million extension at the same time as Thornton, hasn't been in the same spotlight.
And until this week, he hadn't talked about his situation. But while in Las Vegas for Tuesday night's NHL awards as a finalist for the Lady Byng Trophy, Marleau told Yahoo!Sports that he hasn't given any thought to approving a trade and intends to stay where he is.
"I want to play in San Jose," Marleau said. "I want to win there."
Marleau recognizes things won't be the same after the Sharks blew a 3-0 series lead and were eliminated by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the playoffs.
"Something has to change," Marleau said. "I think that's what [the executives and coaches are] doing right now. They're looking at every little thing to try to find the right thing. It's going to be hard to figure out what exact thing it was that set it off. I mean, obviously we lose the way we did, but we lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, too."
Wilson has never mentioned Thornton or Marleau, both 35, by name as players he is looking to trade.
But he has stressed that greater responsibility on and off the ice is being given to the next generation. And that he has told veterans that San Jose may no longer be a good fit for them as the team takes one step backward now to take two steps forward in the future.
The general manager added a slightly different look at the situation during an appearance on NHL Network last week, saying he heard from players that the Sharks were more like co-workers than teammates -- an important distinction in hockey -- and that needs to be fixed.
Whatever trades Wilson may make, he said in his pre-draft session, won't bring in veteran NHL players who could provide immediate help.
"We're building for the future," the general manager said. "With any players that we might move, you can get picks for next year or you can get prospects that you can use as assets to acquire players at the right time, too."

Today's game - Swansea
I'm not sure that AVB is right and that 70 points will be enough this season now. Even 70 means 16 points from 8 games - so the win home, draw away syndrome. With Chelsea, City and Everton in the games mix,
I think we'll need all 3 points today - simply to get back on track and in 'win mode' - and to get a couple of extra points behind us, should any of the other games go awry.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
must win game to stay in control of nicking that 5th spot.
everton or Liverpool can easily go on a good run & push us in to 6th.
I reckon it will be another defeat today & 4th on the spin.

Nicking 5th??? What a ridiculous comment. Clearly not a Spurs fan. I'm not at all worried about Liverpool, not really worried about Everton. Arsenal look like they will finish strong though. It will be a tough run in but I think Spurs can hang in there for 3rd or 4th.
Good game today and good performance from Southampton too! I'd love to see Chelsea finish out of the top four again. They were way too lucky to win champion's league last season. They shouldn't have even been there this season.

BOOOM! Lennon back, and with him our performance (JL, I know you disagree with me on the Liverpool game, but I thought we played shockingly; funny, as you and I normally see games very similarly). I'll take 2-1 away to Swansea, they're not an easy team to beat, and games between us get bonus points for being easy on the eye ;)
SB, I try not to point it out, but I have to say it now for my sanity: dropping down the table isn't 'nicking' a spot, it's having our position nicked. As you said the other day, the table doesn't lie and currently we're in 3rd; that's all we're as good or as bad as. But let's not get into the same old debate, I just couldn't bite my tongue when the opportunity to be a pedant was shouting at me!
Special mention for Southampton, they played terrifically for us today! I've watched Rickie Lambert since they were in L1 (ex-boss was a saint so we used to have loads of banter about Bale and how if RL was a couple of years younger we'd have him too), after being dropped at the beginning of the season I'm really pleased he's doing so well. It's exciting down there at the bottom isn't it, 11th is the lowest spot that you'd think is completely safe from the relegation battle; personally I'd like Villa & Wigan to switch places & then I'm happy with the bottom 3.
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Mar 30, 2013 17:52 Flag
I'd not heard the 70 points thing, but had a quick looksee: last season 3rd & 4th finished on 69 & 70 points, and at this point (date-wise) we'd played 30 & those around us had played 31, whereas we're in the opposite position now, and we had 2 less points & were a position lower. So we were pretty much in the same position both points and position-wise.
There were also only 5 points separating 3rd-5th (currently 4pts). The interesting difference for me is in 2nd place; Man City are 9 points lower now than they were then, meaning that second place is obtainable (I'm not saying I'm aiming for it, I'm talking big picture and the mental impact external factors have), which has never really been the case for us before. I get the impression that there's been that 'look up' mentality instilled through the team this year, whereas you could argue in other years there tends to be a 'look at Arsenal' mentality.
Let's not forget, last year we had a downturn, but there were a lot of outside factors influencing it - 'Arry's court case, the England Manager's role, etc etc - and we still finished 4th by 4 clear points, only 1 point off 3rd. Chelsea are still in not one but 2 cups (a lot's been made of today being's their first game of 6 in 16 days), and are still massively inconsistent, and who knows what'll happen to Man City once they mathematically can't catch Man U?
I guess what I'm saying is this season's been a funny one, 2 wins on the bounce and we're tiitle challenging and 2 consecutive losses & we're relegation fodder; the fat lady's not even warming up yet so let's not write anything off and be supporters in the literal sense of the word.

Out against Tsonga
Unfortunately Roger lost his quarter final match against Jo Wilfreid Tsonga today 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. Our champ could only bring 58% of points on his first serve which contained no aces. Combined with 34 unforced errors there was only one way this match was going.
"This is obviously a crushing loss," Roger said following a quick shirt change. "I struggled a little bit everywhere. Personally, I'm pretty sad about the match and the way I played. Jo-Willy played great today. He was better than me in all areas . He returned better than I did, served better than I did. I struggled to find my rhythm. I'm just disappointed I couldn't put in a better match. Missing smashes goes hand in hand with missing so many other things," said our champ, who was broken six times during the contest. "Should have never gotten broken (after being up) 4-2 (in the first set). In hindsight now that's obviously a huge game for me, and things didn't go well from then on for me today."
Roger's next contest is at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle (Germany), starting on the 10th June.

February 7th kicks things up a notch. This show is of a significantly higher caliber than anything else thus far on the tour. Suzy > Buried Alive > Poor Heart is a phenomenally energetic start to the show. Ice has another nice, though truncated, jam. This Forbin's narration is absolutely ridiculous. Trey is really a pretty damn good story teller. He doesn't let his stories get to static and there's always a child-like sense of interest on his part that really draws you in. It's a wonderful thing. I won't spoil the story for you, but it's totally odd and awesome. A tight Rift, "virtuosic" trombone-ing from tubs in I Didn't Know, a good Melt, tight Fee, and fun Jim wrap up frame one. I'm not sure why, but I really enjoyed Fee. It wasn't particularly abnormal. Perhaps it was the placement... I dunno, it was super cool regardless.
Llama always opens well. Fast Enough For You seems to be a little early in the set, but it's a great song and the flow isn't interrupted at all. Reba is a serious highlight. The jam departs Reba's normal fare foreshadowing the type II greatness the song would reach in August. Don't sleep on the non-departed sections either. Trey is playing wonderful lines that sound like they were plucked right out of one of the Fall '95 greats. Tweezer is quite good and the Big Ball Jam to follow is perhaps the only BBJ I've ever even slightly enjoyed from a musical standpoint. The craziness of BBJ is a good yin to Tweezer's yang. Glide is Glide. Who doesn't like that song? YEM is awesome. The ambient vamp in the beginning is really nice. Page really plays well on his solo in this one. Some of the best YEM organ soloing I've heard from him. Trey's solo reaches a great peak; Fish goes over the top! Confession time: I know I called 2.5's bass and drums awesome, but that was before I'd heard this one. Mike and Fish really tear it up. Seriously tear it up. Blows 2.5's out of the water. The vocal jam continues to conclude with drone-y singing. It'll be interesting listening to the rest of the tour's YEMs to see if they continue to mess around with actual harmony in the vocal jams. Page proceeds to purvey a prime performance in Coil. Mike also plays some wonderful lines when Trey has the melody on guitar; listen for him at those points. If I Only Had A Brain sans HYHU is nice. As far as I'm concerned, the most annoying part about Fishman songs is HYHU, so it was nice to hear one without. The Mike penned songs Contact and BBFCFM close this very strong show in style.
Must-hear highlights: Forbin narration, Reba, YEM
PS: I haven't been looking at any current reviews before I write my own, but after I'm done writing I like taking a look to see where my opinion falls. This show has a much lower rating than I was expecting and the other reviewers seem to think it's pretty meh. I'm actually quite shocked. For me, this is a clear highlight so far in this tour and holds up against other great shows from later in the tour. I'm still strongly recommending this show; hidden gem comes to mind when I think about it.

Sunday's letters: Regulations needed
Published: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 21, 2014 at 5:28 p.m.
To the editor: The article in Tuesday's paper, March 28, about Duke Energy, regulations and the government of North Carolina should have been on the front page. The legislature and Gov. McCrory (or should I say, McDuke) certainly kowtowed to Duke. I wonder how much Duke stock they each own.
Of course, cleanup of the coal ash ponds won't affect their earnings, as an article several weeks ago pointed out; the shareholders won't pay, the customers will! That's you and me, folks.
Regulations — most of them were passed in good faith to protect the public. But according to the GOP in N.C. and the U.S., they are stifling business. With no regulations, there will be more jobs. Really? How many jobs were created by "this common-sense legislation … cuts government red tape, axes overly burdensome regulations, and puts job creation first here in North Carolina," said McCrory, a 22-year employee of Duke.
In my opinion, regulations are needed because someone or some company will always try to get away with something.
Better to spend their money prodding elected officials to do their bidding than spending money to correct their own mistakes.
By the way, one gold star to Rep. McGrady for voting against this law.

Don't trust Obama
To the editor: Obama lied when he told the American people they could keep their health care coverage.
Obama lied when he told the American people they could keep their doctor.

Politicians and government bureaucrats do not protect your property and home or your life.

Politicians and government bureaucrats should not dictate to doctors, hospitals and health care companies when, where and how much services should be available to the American people.

Highway needs help
To the editor: I would like to echo Pat Wakeley's spot-on comments about Four Seasons Boulevard. As a recent "transplant" from up north who chose to retire here, I must say that the visual assault that is this highway, particularly between Duncan Hill/Dana Road and downtown Hendersonville is enough to make some visitors do an immediate U-turn and get out of town rather than even make it to our beautiful downtown Main Street shopping district.
Why the city would choose to fund redevelopment of the Historic Seventh Avenue District over a complete redo of the Four Seasons Boulevard corridor is completely beyond me.
If visitors don't have the stomach to get past this stretch of visual blight, they will never get to see the Historic Seventh Avenue District or the rest of this beautiful city, including some outstanding houses of worship.
Having spent many years in the landscape design industry, I can somewhat understand our municipal planning department devoting a lot of effort to redeveloping downtown to attract visitors, but please consider some attention to the U.S. highway into downtown as well.
It is an embarrassment to try and explain away to our friends from "up north" who come to visit us. Thank you.

United Way of McPherson County is working to build a stronger community by addressing issues related to health, education and income. We believe conversations and intensive listening are the best ways to understand the real problems and move beyond short-term solutions. Community change can be accomplished through broad participation and collaboration. We encourage McPherson County residents to be involved with their community through giving, advocating and volunteering. By working together we can make a larger impact on the issues at hand.
For several years we have spent many winter weekends traveling across Kansas watching our children play in basketball tournaments. One of the challenges is eating healthy and inexpensively. The best solution we have found is to bring a cooler full of snacks.
From an athletic perspective it's important to include foods high in protein. Beef or turkey jerky is a great source and is super portable. Other favorites include mixed nuts, hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks and meat sandwiches. We often balance the protein snacks with clementimes, apples and bananas. And an extra treat includes peanut butter oatmeal cookies.
I believe it's important to keep our student athletes excercise AND snacks. So the next time you head out of town for a basketball tournament, avoid the fast food restaurants and pack your bags full of healthy foods. Say "no" to burgers and fries. Say "yes" to almonds and yogurt.

HOUSTON – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team outhit Houston Baptist 11-2 and used a season-high 18 players to cruise to a 3-0 non-conference victory Saturday afternoon at Husky Field. The Islanders have won four straight and eight of its last 10 games.
The Islanders (16-16, 10-4 SLC) used four out of its five pitchers and limited Houston Baptist (14-28, 2-4 GWC) to just two hits and three base runners. Seven different Islanders tallied hits with freshman Hayley Galloway leading the way with three hits.
Greta Cecchetti (10-4) picked up her 10th victory in the circle and third straight. The senior pitched the first two innings and retired all six Huskies she faced. Vianca Pesina entered in the bottom of the third and allowed just one hit while striking out three in two innings. Jordan Trujillo entered in the bottom of the fifth and retired all six of her batters she faced while striking out two in two innings. Sophomore Constance Brandenburg made her fourth appearance of the season in the circle in the bottom of the seventh. She allowed the Huskies one walk and one hit in one inning while sealing her first save of the season.
The Islanders started things off with two hits in the opening frame. Hannah Schwarz tallied the Islanders first hit with a single up the middle and Schumann followed with a bunt in front of home plate to advance Schwarz to second. The Islanders left both stranded as the Huskies were able to pull out of the inning.
Meagan McKinney singled through the right side to begin the second inning and advanced to second on a Cassie Carroll ground out. Galloway followed suit with a RBI double to right center to plate Mckinney and put up the Islanders first run of the game. Mickayla Heller reached on an error to put runners on first and second. Schwarz followed with her second hit of the game to left center but the Huskies were able to escape with an 8-2 play to end the inning.
The Huskies recorded their first hit of the game in the bottom of the third. Mac Christensen started the inning with a single to shortstop before HBU's Holly Webb reached on a fielder's choice. Pesina ended the inning with two back-to-back strikeouts.
The Islanders padded the lead to 2-0 in the top of the fifth. With two outs, Schumann tallied her second hit with a solo shot to center field and Jamise Jackson reached base on a walk. In her first at bat Alejia Cain blasted an RBI double to left field to score Schumann.
The Islanders added another run in the seventh inning on two outs. In her first at bat of the game Laura Phillips hit a RBI double to left center to score Schumann who reached on an error.
Galloway led the Islanders bats' with three hits, while Schwarz and Schumann each chipped in two hits apiece. Jackson, Phillips, Cain and McKinney each added one apiece.
The Islanders will travel to Huntsville, Texas on Tuesday, April 24, to play Sam Houston State in a Southland Conference doubleheader. First pitch is at 2 p.m.
Coach Hughes talks about the team's effort in the Islanders 3-0 victory over HBU:

The Choctaw Tribal Council met in an executive session Tuesday.
Members of the media were asked to stay out of the closed session, but about midway through the 2-hour meeting, a tribal member emerged from the chamber saying that the thrown out election was not on the day's agenda.
"Well, it's not about the not a candidate," said Mac Jimmie. "I think they want to meet on something else."
Jimmie is also the tribal member who filed the challenge to the tribal council about the June 14 election results, claiming that votes cast after the 8 p.m. deadline should not have counted. Supporters of Phyliss Anderson, who won a runoff July 5 that was tossed out, took issue with Jimmie's appearance at the meeting.
"We're supposed to hear on the matter with the council and the tribal chief sitting," said Tracey Trolle. "And now the complainant is being chauffeured by the administration's car, so it's basically self-serving on one party only and that's Beasley Denson."
Denson, who lost in the July 5 runoff, declined comment following the meeting.
With no decision to overturn the council's initial ruling, Anderson says she is ready to run again.
"The Choctaw people have spoken twice, saying they didn't want the incumbent, so we are just excited about the upcoming election on September 6th," Anderson said.
The Tribal Election Commission met Tuesday to hammer out firm guidelines for future elections, so they can avoid the same scenario Sept. 6 that they had back in June.

ROHNERT PARK -- Jalon Luque of the Rancho Cotate High football team broke a Northgate tackle near his 25-yard line and galloped away into the cold, cold night -- all the way to the North Coast Section Division II title game.
Luque finished off a 98-yard touchdown run Saturday night, and finished off Northgate in the process. The Cougars went on to a 30-17 victory and a berth in Friday's final against Clayton Valley Charter at Diablo Valley College. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Luque ended up with 277 yards and two TDs. This despite not feeling well after taking too much of his asthma medication. He estimated he was at 80 percent.
"I thought I was going to be tackled," Luque said of his back-breaking run. "I just broke it and was gone."
It was a tough end to a tremendous season for Northgate (9-3). The Broncos hung with Rancho Cotate (12-0) for a half -- the score was 10-10 at the break. But Northgate appeared to wear down in the second half, especially on defense. Luque had 225 of his yards and both TDs in the second half.
"The seniors led us this year," Broncos coach Justin Lowell said. "And have raised the expectations of the program. We've taken the next step and made the foundation."
Lowell recognized the tall order his team faced -- trying to beat one the best teams in Northern California on the road.
"They're a very disciplined team, they're well-coached," he said. "They have a great line, and they have a great back to follow the line."
Northgate's offense moved the ball in the first half but struggled in the second half until a late scoring drive after the game had been decided. Joe Pelletier hit 8 of 20 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown against two interceptions. Fisi Tavake ran for 45 yards and a score.

The hacking cough was worse than a clock striking at the top of every hour.
My 2-year-old, Carolyn, had picked up a nasty cold virus. Her cough had steadily worsened for two weeks. All the while, her doctor assured us that it wasn't serious unless it lasted three weeks.
Not serious? That's easy for a doctor to say when it's the parents trying to soothe a sick child who is too young for cough medicine and too disturbed to sleep. Night after night, I pulled every home remedy out of the bag of tricks. A humidifier practically turned Carolyn's room into a rain forest. We slept propped up in a steamy bathroom. I even tried coaxing her into drinking herbal tea -- which is how I ended up with a crying, coughing toddler.
Traditional medicine doesn't always work for colds and stomach bugs in children. In the case of coughs, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises against giving children younger than 6 any cough medicine, because it doesn't work and can be unsafe.
Instead, we look to other parents who have traveled this road countless times for advice that will see us sanely through each cold and flu season.
In my case, the answer came from a parent at Carolyn's preschool: 1 teaspoon of slightly warmed buckwheat honey. "My throat hurt no more," Carolyn said that first night, within minutes of swallowing the honey. Ten minutes later, she was fast asleep. (Note: Honey is not recommended for children younger than 1.)
As we head deeper into cold and flu season, we asked parents to share their own home-remedy success stories.
What worked for me was a little of what I call "fire and ice." I put a heating pad (on the low setting) on his stomach. That helped the aches feel less intense. I also gave him bits of crushed ice to suck on, so he wouldn't get dehydrated. Usually, that helped him fall asleep, and an hour or so later, he'd wake up as good as new.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, April 5, 2010
AUGUSTA, Ga. --- Masters week kicked off today, but so did spring break for students around the area.
Some businesses aimed at children, like Adventure Crossing and Fort Discovery in Augusta, have been hit by hard times. They opened their doors today hoping to cash in.
Recently schools have said to be taking students on fewer field trips, and with money tight for parents, some childhood hot spots have had to cut back their hours. But since families have also been cutting back on spring break trips, companies saw extra hours as a perfect way to make money in exchange for some local family fun.
Kids like Austin McKay and Ashlyn Bolen came to Adventure Crossing to shoot some hoops, drive go-karts and compete to be the "master" of the miniature golf course.
"It's hot, nice and it's a lot of fun," McKay said about getting the ball rolling on his spring break. "You get to play golf with your friends."
"I wanted to get outside in the warm air and have some fun," Bolen said.
Parents brought their children to Adventure Crossing all day, even though it's a day the doors would normally be closed, manager Johnnie Cropps said.
"It brings in a lot of extra business," Cropps said. "It's so busy, traffic and everything elsewhere, so you can come here a couple hours and you can just stay here."
Parents also brought their children to Fort Discovery. The building is up for sale and they have recently cut their hours, now only open three days a week. Adventure Crossing also had to cut its hours to three days a week during the wintertime, due to hard times.
The cutbacks are a reason the extra foot traffic is so important to keeping their businesses afloat.
Fort Discovery is offering spring break camps for kids while their parents are at work, but the science center also attracted people from out of town, said camp leader Joshua Bush.
"It was really busy all day," Bush said. "We had some customers from Japan."
They also had families like 5th grader Sammy Verdino's, who came in from Columbia, S.C. to check the place out, even though he is not a big fan of science books in school.
"It was fun," Verdino said. "When it comes to this kind of science I'm 'giddy', as (the Fort Discovery employees) told me."
The kids are just hoping for good times during spring break, but businesses will be open all week in hope the extra money keeps them out of the red.
The Augusta Museum of History, which has also had to make cutbacks, will be open all week displaying a new golf exhibit, complete with a green jacket from Augusta National.

This summer Democratic leaders in Congress introduced H.R. 3200, the "America's Affordable Health Choices Act", which sets the tone for a Washington takeover of the health care system —one defined by federal regulation, mandates, a myriad of new big government programs, and a significant increase in federal spending and debt.
Over the past several months, my staff and I have met with health care providers, community leaders, and concerned citizens from across Virginia about the need to reform our nation's health care system. In addition, my office has received and responded to more than 40,000 e-mails, letters and phone calls from Virginians concerning the health care debate.
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a recent posting on the Facebook Web site that posed the following question: "Should President Obama be killed?"
The choices for answers in this "poll" were telling: yes, no, maybe and "if he takes my health care." According to news reports, more than 700 people responded before the posting was pulled. I'm not sure I want to know how many people voted "yes."
A story on WorldNetDaily, an on-line news site, caught my eye early last week. The title was "Why can't Christians unite to change America's ways?"
The story noted that there are people who claim to be Christians working as activists for both conservative and leftist causes. It contained the results of a poll conducted this year by Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron in partnership with Public Religion Research. The poll revealed some significant differences.
William H. "Will" Smith, of Buchanan, has an unusual background for a person seeking elective office. Back in 1997 he pleaded no contest to two felony charges of procuring prostitution.
According to a Roanoke Times article from April 19, 1997, Roanoke City Police were investigating a business called Shooters 44, which they believed was a front for prostitution. A pair of undercover police officers checked the place out. The business advertised lingerie modeling sessions and they watched one.

Summit County and Front Range commuter skiers are in for a double dose of ski area opening days today as Copper Mountain and Keystone Resort debut their slopes to the public.
Chairlifts for Copper and Keystone depart at 9 a.m. today to kick off the start to the 2012-2013 season.
The two resorts are offering free food, entertainment, and chances to win prizes to mark the start of the opening weekend.
Copper is opening with the Main Vein, Rhapsody and Easy Rider trails offering top-to-bottom skiing. Access to all trails will be via the American Eagle Lift.
Free koozies will be given to the first 100 skiers in line at Copper Mountain, giving them drink specials all day long at Endo's Adrenaline Cafe.
"We can't wait to see all of the excited season pass holders that are able to get out of work for the first day of the season," said Austyn Williams, spokeswoman for Copper Mountain. "There's always an energy among everyone, and having the bragging rights of being there on the first day of the season and seeing the first chair go up the mountain is really a sense of pride among a lot of our guests. We're embracing all of that."
The first chair privilege at Copper's Mountain's opening are reserved every year for Frank Walter, an owner and skier at the resort since the 1970s. Walter, who's been called "Father Time," in a Warren Miller film he was featured in, skied every single day of the 2011-2012 season at 89 years old.
"He's a personality that truly encompasses not only Copper's history, but Copper's spirit," Williams said.
Keystone kicks off the season today with top-to-bottom skiing available on the Spring Dipper and River Run trails, offering intermediate skiing. For those wanting to ease into the season or are learning for the first time, Keystone's Endeavor trail learning area with carpet lift will be open.
On the other side of the spectrum, Keystone's A51 Terrain Park will be open with 25 features accessed by its own chairlift.
"We're excited to begin another season," said Laura Parquette, spokeswoman for the resort. "Our snow makers, groomers and terrain park teams have done an amazing job preparing the snow and we can't wait to let people enjoy it."
Keystone's newest product also kicks off today. All kids 12 years old and younger ski for free with the purchase of two or more night's lodging at the ski area's accommodations.
"This is the industry's most unrestrictive pass," Parquette said. "There are no blackout dates, giving families the freedom to take advantage of the deal during holidays and weekends."
Opening day guests will also be able to take advantage of free hot chocolate, coffee and warm donuts from Keystone's pastry chef Ned Archibald at the base of the River Run Gondola.
"It's going to be really special," Parquette said. "Our chef is world class and we really want to treat our guests on this exciting day."
Another added bonus: The first 100 skiers in line are entered into a raffle to win various prizes, with the grand prize being a special GoPro prize pack.

HERCULES -- City Councilwoman Myrna de Vera faces possible censure Tuesday under a draft resolution that accuses her of unethical conduct and abuse of power when she silenced a resident who she believed was criticizing her on a local blog.
The resolution says de Vera interfered "in a premeditated, arbitrary and conspiring manner" with the administration of a contract that the city is party to, when she allegedly pressured Pinole City Engineer Dean Allison to stop Hercules resident Kent Von Aspern from blogging about her on Hercules Patch. Von Aspern works for HDR Engineering, holder of an $800,000 design contract at the joint Pinole-Hercules wastewater treatment plant; a second phase of that contract is expected to go out to bid within a year.
Emails provided to this newspaper by Pinole under a public record records request indicate de Vera took offense at a June 15 Von Aspern post that started as a defense of former Mayor Joanne Ward.
"Joanne and Councilmember de Vera have only one thing in common: they are both women," Von Aspern blogged. "Joanne never ran a dirty campaign in her life, never spoke about anyone behind their backs, and never shared confidential personnel-related e-mails with the public."
The following week, Allison reported the blog to Von Aspern's boss, HDR Vice President Craig Olson, email records show. On July 3, Allison emailed de Vera that he "spoke with the VP for HDR about Kent's postings on the Patch," adding: "I was told that discussions were made and that we should not be seeing any future postings. If I do, I will get back to the firm."
On July 17, de Vera emailed Allison that Von Aspern was blogging again. "This is not good," Allison replied about an hour later. There have been no Von Aspern blogs on Patch since July.
De Vera copied several Von Aspern blogs into her July 17 email. One, dated July 15, read: "Councilmember deVera, I am sorry to read that you feel I have attacked you. That has never been my intent. I have made sure on multiple occasions to publicly express that I like you! If you feel that I have attacked you, I am sorry. You have my business card with my contact information, including my cell phone. Please contact me so that I can personally assure you that I hold nothing against you. Sincerely, Kent Von Aspern."
In September, de Vera told this newspaper that Von Aspern was "kicked off Patch" along with several other bloggers who also did not "follow the guidelines," as she put it, and that Von Aspern's "file" at Patch was "taken down."
Alex Gronke, Patch's regional editor for Northern California, did not respond to several emails seeking clarification.
As of Friday, the Von Aspern blog post that spurred de Vera's initial intervention was still viewable on Patch, as were posts that de Vera copied to Allison July 17.
De Vera apologized for her actions at the Sept. 25 council meeting but stopped short of admitting what Tuesday's resolution accuses her of.
"Even though I did not tell the Pinole official to silence the citizen, and the Pinole city official did not direct HDR to do the same, and there is no evidence HDR forced Mr. Von Aspern to stop blogging, my actions have caused the perception of a concerted effort to stifle a citizen's free speech rights," she said. She did not immediately respond to an email Friday.
Also on Sept. 25, Von Aspern sent a letter withdrawing his application to sit on a city tax oversight committee, citing, among other considerations, fear for his job, fear of getting blamed if his company does not secure the next phase of the wastewater plant contract, and the presence of de Vera on a wastewater subcommittee. Von Aspern added that he has been removed from the treatment plant project. Olson did not respond to requests for comment in late September.
The resolution before the council Tuesday also calls for de Vera to pay a $1,000 fine "to partially offset the cost of dealing with this incident." It also would strip her of her next turn as vice mayor, which under the customary rotation system would be for a year beginning at this year's annual council reorganization in December.
City Attorney Patrick Tang did not immediately respond to an email Friday inquiring about the council's authority to rule on the vice mayoral rotation in a future term.
Pinole officials have said that Allison's role will be handled as a confidential personnel matter.

So many things can go wrong, because the balance is so delicate that the entire filmic house of cards can collapse in on itself with the slightest misstep. Occasionally, filmmakers will make one or possibly two decent entries into the sub-genre; however, only one filmmaker has made an entire career out of the precarious high-wire act, and that filmmaker is Joe Dante.

Student Safety and Law
The Concord University Office of Public Safety guarantees you the following:
- A public safety officer and a Sexual Assault Response Team member will meet with you privately at a place of your choosing to take a report, or simply discuss your case, whichever is your preference.
*Please note: Federal law requires all University administrators and campus Public Safety officers to be reporting agents. Your case will be counted as a reported sexual assault in compliance with the 1990 student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Acts. Neither your name, nor any particulars of your case, will be divulged as part of this requirement.
- We will not release your name to the public nor the press.
- You will be offered the assistance of a victim advocate. You will be given the choice of several on campus Sexual Assault Team Members, all of whom have been trained in victim advocacy, or the office of the victim advocate of Mercer County will be made available to you. S.A.F.E. (Mercer County's Victim Advocate Program) can be reached by calling 324-7820.
- Realizing that you will want to relive the attack as few times as possible, we will make every effort to take your assault statement on only one occasion.
- We will not engage in pre-judging or victim blaming.
- Concord University Police officers will treat you and your particular case with the utmost courtesy, sensitivity, dignity, understanding and professionalism.

The emergency line transfers your call to the on-duty police officer radio system, so explain that your information is confidential and ask him/her to call you on a landline.
If the assault takes place off campus, the WV State Police Department (425-2101) is available to facilitate this process with the victim.
The Sexual Assault Response Team Program (Victim Advocacy),
The University strongly urges all sexual assault victims to report the crime as soon as possible to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Doing so saves investigative time, preserves evidence, and may prevent future assaults by the same offender. It also ensures that a victim receives prompt medical attention and counseling as needed. However, many victims are hesitant to initiate the reporting process alone, and some victims may decide not to report the crime. The University is committed to providing nonjudgmental and appropriate support services for all sexual assault victims, regardless of whether or not they report the crime. In addition, the University has vested interest in obtaining an accurate count of the number of sexual assault involving student victims that occur on or off-campus. The Sexual Assault Response Team program is designed to accomplish both these goals, as well as to meet federal mandates. The Student Right To-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 requires Concord University to provide accurate crime statistics on an annual basis to the campus community, while the Higher Education Reauthorization Act of 1992 Sexual Assault Victim's Bill of Rights requires, among other things, that all higher education institutions establish a protocol for responding to reported sexual assault incidents. Victim advocates ensure that students who have been sexually assaulted, do not have to navigate the legal, medical or mental health system alone. All victim advocacy services are confidential and free of charge. Victim advocates are designated University staff members who possess knowledge in sexual assault issues, have experience in sexual assault crisis intervention, and have received appropriate training in the medical and legal issues related to sexual assault. Acurrent list of victim advocates is available from the Office of Housing and Residence Life in Sarvay. Any person that is a victim of sexual assault is strongly encouraged to consult a victim advocate as soon after the assault as possible. Any time that a student reports a recent sexual assault (defined as an assault that occurred in the current academic or calendar year) to a Concord University employee, that employee is required to immediately refer the student to a victim advocate.
The victim advocate, in turn, is required to do the following:
- Inform the victim of her/his legal options for recourse (both civil and criminal), encourage the victim to report the assault to the Concord University Public Safety Office, assist the victim with preserving evidence, and inform the victim of her/his legal rights and protections;
- If the victim is a student, inform her/him of other options for recourse, including a campus disciplinary hearing, and notify the victim of her/his Code of Conduct rights and protections;
- Encourage the victim to seek medical attention for injuries, sexually transmitted infection prophylaxis, emergency contraception, GHB/rohypnol testing, and HIV testing;
- Encourage the victim to seek counseling services;
- Assist the victim with obtaining academic accommodations as appropriate in the he event of posttraumatic stress disorder;
- Assist the victim with obtaining new or temporary living arrangements if a threat to physical safety persists;
- Serve as an emotional support resource for the victim during the initial phase of recovery;
- Provide support with/for significant others and friends;
- Make a confidential and anonymous report in writing to the Dean of Students, who, in collaboration with the Office of Public Safety, compiles an annual summary for purposes of federal campus crime reporting.
In the event of a persistent or imminent threat top student safety, the Dean of Student and/or the Public Safety Director will inform the Concord University community in a timely manner.
Role of the Victim Advocate:
- Provide medical and legal advocacy for victims of sexual assault.
- Make appropriate resource referrals for victims.
- Assist victims in obtaining academic accommodations and other support services.
- Assist the University with meeting federally mandated campus crime reporting requirements.
- Ensure consistency of care and response for all victims.

Hi ! I posted the video it was a great race I really enjoy it , I actually have shifter too , but Im not as fast as you all are , even on a Mod Moto , but one of these days I may be there. I really enjoy to watch the shifter class and the great racing action. Nick and Jordon had a great race , Nick's pass over Jordon after passing the lap kart was just timed perfect , I thought that Jordon would keep the inside lane but he open the door and Nick got him . Andrews Perkins almost pulled a great pass too.
