Up to an inch of rain total is expected to fall in the region today by Friday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a flood watch for Jackson County.
The flood watch will be in effect from 4 p.m. today through Friday evening.
Weather officials said heavy rain will likely result in rapid rises and possible minor flooding in small rivers, creeks and streams.
"Minor urban flooding of roads and low-lying areas is possible," NWS officials said in a news release.
The affected area includes Medford, Ashland, Yreka and Weed.
Landslides and debris flows are possible during a flood, putting structures and roadways below steep slopes at high risk.
A wind advisory also remains in effect today, with southeast winds up to 30 mph impacting the area, along with 40 mph gusts. The highest wind speeds will be near Ashland, weather officials said.
Motorist travel could be made difficult because of the high winds. Check www.tripcheck.com for up-to-date travel conditions.

WASHINGTON (October 5, 2012)--The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent in September, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday.
The rate fell because more people found work, a trend that could impact the presidential election.
The Labor Department said employers added 114,000 jobs in September.
The economy also created 86,000 more jobs in July and August than first estimated.
Wages rose in September and more people started looking for work.
The revisions show employers added 146,000 jobs per month from July through September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months.
The unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in August, matching its level in January 2009 when President Barack Obama took office.
The decline could help Mr. Obama, who is coming off a disappointing debate against Mitt Romney.

I grew up near Milwaukee, Wis. For many years, Milwaukee was especially known for one thing: brewing beer.
Once upon a time, three of the largest breweries in the nation - Schlitz, Miller, and Pabst - were located there. When you said, "Milwaukee," people instantly thought of beer. Currently, however, only one of those breweries is still in existence, and it merged with Coors a few years ago. So while it may have been true at one time, Milwaukee is hardly the beer capital that it once was. Yet that perception remains. It may not be reality, but Milwaukee is and perhaps always will be known for beer.
What are you known for? That's a question those of us who bear the name of Christ ought to ask ourselves. I'm afraid, though, that we may not like the answer. More and more it seems that Christians are known for politics, hypocrisy, and poking our noses in other people's business. I'm not saying that this perception is correct. In fact, I would dispute it, at least in most cases. But too many people in our society, when you say, "Christian," they instantly think of busybodies who try to force their morality on others.
That's too bad. It's too bad because that means many people will never bother to listen to anything Christians have to say, or learn about what Christianity is all about. Christianity is about Christ. It's about the son of God becoming a man, living a perfect life in our place, dying a perfect death in our place, and rising from the dead in glorious triumph. Christianity is all about God's amazing grace, his unconditional love, and his never-failing promises.
So what can we do about this image? St. Peter had much to say about this subject in his first letter. Peter lived in a time of intense persecution. Under the Emperor Nero, Christians were routinely imprisoned, had their property confiscated, and often lost their lives. But Peter did not advocate that Christians ought to hide their identity. He didn't suggest that they go underground with their faith. Instead, Peter urged Christians to be known as kind, gentle, helpful, law-abiding citizens. He wrote, "Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
Living a "good life," according to Peter, includes sharing our faith. He also wrote: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."
As we Christians seek to influence those around them and share the good news of our Savior with others, let's start by making it our goal to change people's negative impressions of us and our faith. With God's help, let's be known not as meddling hypocrites, but good neighbors, honest business people and loyal citizens who don't shove their religion down anyone's throats, but are ready to share what they believe with everyone.

Another day, another reason to fall in love with the most exciting duo in R&B, the UK's Alunageorge. Today they played the BBC 1Xtra Live Lounge, where they unveiled the new track "Body Music" and this gem: an upbeat cover of Frank Ocean's glorious "Thinkin Bout You." I had been thinking that Aluna Francis' voice had been manipulated on the group's recordings, but nope, it turns out that she actually just sounds sped up by 15 percent naturally. Unreal.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The pilot of a 748-foot-long oil tanker that struck the Bay Bridge in heavy fog three months ago committed "misconduct" by making a risky last-minute change in course, state investigators concluded Thursday.
The pilot, Capt. Guy Kleess of San Francisco, failed to effectively communicate with other members of the ship's crew and "lost awareness of what was happening around him," an investigative committee of the state Board of Pilot Commissioners concluded.
The board voted unanimously to immediately suspend Kleess' pilot license and move ahead with the formal process of extending the suspension or permanently revoking the license.
"The Board of Pilot Commissioners takes seriously its regulatory role," said Capt. Allen Garfinkle, the board's executive director.
According to the report issued shortly before Thursday's board meeting, Kleess on Jan. 7 changed his route while the ship, the Overseas Reymar, was moving toward the Bay Bridge because the fog was thickening and he discovered that the radar beacon between two towers of the bridge was not working.
The tanker sideswiped a tower of the Bay Bridge's western span near Yerba Buena Island. The accident caused an estimated $1.4 million in damage to the bridge, Caltrans reported in new estimates released Thursday. The ship sustained $220,000 in damage.
Fortunately, the vessel was empty, having off-loaded its oil at the Shell refinery in Martinez the night before.
Still, it was the second time a large ship has hit the Bay Bridge in the past five years, highlighting a key environmental risk.
"I'm very pleased with the board's decision," said Deb Self, executive director of the environmental group Baykeeper. "This was serious. The risk of catastrophic oil spills in the bay is pretty high."
Kleess, a former Exxon oil tanker captain who has sailed professionally for 36 years, was heading north toward the ocean on the morning of the incident.
He had planned to sail between the Bay Bridge's "C" and "D" towers. But as the Bay Area News Group first reported in January, he suddenly changed course and veered east, investigators concluded -- like a truck driver switching lanes at the last minute while heading into a toll plaza.
"Capt. Kleess executed his turn toward the bridge late, not accounting for the advance of the vessel in the turn and not realizing the degree of set the vessel was experiencing," investigators said.
At 11:18 a.m., the huge vessel collided with the "E" tower. Although its side was gashed, the ship, built in 2004, had a double hull -- as required by federal law signed by President George H.W. Bush after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill -- and no pollution spilled into the bay from its bunker fuel tanks.
During the previous ship collision with the Bay Bridge, in November 2007, the Cosco Busan, a 901-foot cargo ship, hit the "D" tower. That accident, also in heavy fog, spilled 53,000 gallons of bunker fuel into the bay, killing more than 6,000 birds and oiling 69 miles of shoreline.
After the January accident, a radar beacon on the Bay Bridge that shows sailors the midpoint between towers "C" and "D" was discovered not to be working. Complicating matters, the ship went under the Bay Bridge as currents quickly accelerated because of a 3-knot ebb tide.
With the vessel in trouble, Kleess only used one of the radar systems on the ship to see where the bridge was, and its images were fuzzy, investigators found. He did not use a more precise radar on board, or a laptop with electronic charts pilots he carried. Nor did he talk with the captain of the ship, Jeffrey Memarion, during critical moments, the report found.
Shipping pilots are experts who help captains bring large ships in and out of the bay and negotiate local conditions.
Investigators revealed that Memarion was talking on a satellite phone to a ship chartering company while his vessel was in grave danger. At one point, only six minutes before the collision, he casually asked Kleess if he wanted to eat lunch soon. As the ship careened at 12 knots -- about 1,200 feet per minute -- toward the tower of the bridge in thick fog, Coast Guard officials on Yerba Buena Island radioed to ask Kleess if everything was OK.
Yes, he said. Minutes later, the rear of the ship shuddered against the bridge tower and Kleess could be heard on the ship's voice recorder yelling, "Oh shit!".
On Thursday, Kleess' attorney, Rex Clack of San Francisco, said his client is a "dedicated and highly skilled mariner" who has sailed thousands of large ships without a significant accident. Telling the board that no one can survive the scrutiny of 20-20 hindsight, Clack said that the conditions were dangerous the day of the accident and that Kleess will seek to clear his name and restore his license.
Concerned about the two collisions with the Bay Bridge, the Coast Guard and the San Francisco Bay Harbor Safety Committee in February passed new rules that prohibit oil tankers, cargo ships and other large vessels from sailing northbound under the Bay Bridge when there is less than half a mile of visibility due to fog.

S&P is being investigated for improperly rating mortgage companies prior to the 2008 financial crisis. The investigation could prove that the credit agency does not in fact work independently as originally thought. It is not rare for credit agencies to provide high ratings for a certain fee. It is reported that the investigation had already started prior to the downgrade of the United States credit rating.

Jackson police said they found a grenade launcher and cocaine during a drug bust overnight.
Authorities said the raid took place at about 2 a.m. Saturday at a house on Lyndon B. Johnson Drive. Tony Lewis was arrested, but no charges have been announced.
Detectives said they set up surveillance on the house after receiving several complaints from neighbors about the large amount of traffic at the home.
Officers found a safe in the bedroom of the house that contained pure cocaine, marijuana and at least $4,000, police said.

WILLIAMSTOWN - In typical Williamstown fashion, Man High School became yet another victim of the Yellowjackets' relentless pressure.
Friday night in a third-place game for the W.Va. Hometown Invitational Tournament, Williamstown scored 26 of the game's first 28 points and the Hillbillies never threatened while losing 84-61.
After cooling off the defensive pressure following a timeout at the 3:52 mark of the first quarter and Williamstown leading 23-2, coach Sauro never really showed more than a half-court scheme. "We've been doing that for the last four games or so - we have been coming out strong," Williamstown coach Fred Sauro said after his ballclub improved to 11-8. "Our no fear aspect has really helped us the last couple of weeks. It's like what do we have to lose?"

JEFF BAUGHAN Special to The Times
Man's Taylor Whited, left, and Williamstown's Lauren Amos battle for a loose gall Friday night.
Williamstown's Carley Ellison wreaked havoc on the defensive end and picked off five Man passes in the first four minutes of the opening period and teammate Brooke Cieslewski knocked down the first four 3-pointers she attempted in the first half and scored all 17 of her points by intermission.
Kenzie Smith scored a team-high 23 points and Ellison added 12 points to go with nine rebounds as the Yellowjackets increased its winning streak to four straight games with one game remaining in the regular season. Williamstown travels to Huntington St. Joseph next Wednesday before awaiting their postseason fate in the Class A tournament bracket.
"Between now and Wednesday, we have to shore up some of the defensive aspects of our game," Sauro said. "We also have to work on our post defense, especially we are small and people are going to try and post us up. We have to concentrate on blocking out because all the teams we play are bigger than we are."

Also scoring in double figures for the 11-8 Hillbillies was Mika McCoy with 12 points. Her bucket with five minutes remaining in the second quarter sliced the Williamstown advantage to 35-20. Lauren Amos contributed a pair of buckets as the Yellowjackets padded their cushion back to 49-22 by halftime. Smith's 3-pointer with two minutes left in the third quarter pumped up the margin to a game-high 33 points at 66-33.
The fourth quarter belonged to the reserves with Williamstown point guard Heather Albertson registering four points and two assists.

3-year-old hit during parade
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
A Shriner motorcyclist riding in a parade hit a 3-year-old during the Krewe of Houmas and Kajuns parade, the Houma Police chief said.
This story has been corrected. Houma Police initially incorrectly reported that two additional motorcyclists hit the first Shriner motorcyclist during the parade. The two motorcyclists only assisted the first after he hit the child, according to the Shriner's statement, relayed by Chief Todd Duplantis.
The boy had "minor scratches" and medical help was not needed, Chief Todd Duplantis said. The motorcyclist was not injured.
The Shriner clipped the boy on the arm while doing a figure eight, Duplantis said. No charges were filed.

What follows is a discographic profile to complement John Child's extensive interview with Mario Ortiz Jr.: Mario Ortiz and his
All Star Band Revival
Ortiz, Mario (b. 5 August 1935, Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico; d. 4 November 1999, Puerto Rico)
Described by virtuoso trumpeter Elías Lopés as "one of the all-time great trumpet players," Mario Ortiz was one of Puerto Rico's most eminent bandleaders and arrangers. He started studying music at the age of 11, and became a member of the municipal band in 1949. He played with various local groups, including the Caribbean Kids, Melody Boys and Mingo y sus Whoopee Kids, before working with "name" bandleaders like César Concepción (with whom he first performed in New York at the Teatro Hispano during the 1950s), Pepito Torres, Ramón "Moncho" Usera Vives and Miguelito Miranda. Parallel to performing with Moncho and Miranda at the Caribe Hilton Hotel, he worked in Puerto Rican TV as a sideman with the orchestras of Pepito Torres on El Show Libbys and Rafael Elvira on El Show de las 12 and on Una Hora Contigo with Myrta Silva. In 1958 he was hired as the first trumpeter with the Vitín Miranda band, performing with them at Bayamón's Tres Palmas club. In 1962 he became the musical director for the singer Vitín Avilés (1924-2004), also working with him at the Tres Palmas.
In 1962 Mario organised his All Star Band, a 14 to l6-piece orchestra featuring Elías Lopés (trumpet), Paquito Jouvert (trumpet), Pedro Rivera Toledo (tenor sax), Julio César Delgado (baritone sax, who went on to become a major producer with TH Records in the '80s), Celso Clemente (conga), Pablo "Papi la Mona" Bonilla (bongo), and vocalists Paquito Álvarez and Emma Rogers (she remained with the band until 1964). The band made their album debut in 1963 with On The Road produced by Alfred D. Herger for the Rico Vox label (the record was reissued the following year by the Puerto Rican Tourist Company under the title Holiday in San Juan). Also in 1963 the band were contracted by Catalino Rolón to play for three weeks as the house band at New York's Palladium Ballroom, alternating with Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez, Machito, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri and Willie Rosario. While in the Big Apple the band were contracted to record for René Moret's Remo label, resulting in three albums: Swinging With Mario Ortiz All Star Band (1964), The Best Of Mario Ortiz (1964) and Los Cabezones (1965), with Chico Rivera joining Paquito Álvarez on lead vocals on the second and third releases.
Mario played trumpet on Puerto Rican All-Stars Featuring Kako (c. 1965, Alegre), a jam session recording made in Puerto Rico between 4:00 and 9:00am in February 1963, including Rafael Ithier, Roberto Roena and other members of El Gran Combo at the time; Chivirico Dávila (1924-1994), Paquito Guzmán and Johnny Rodríguez (1912-1997) on vocals and Charlie Palmieri singing coro! In 1966 Mario and his band began a six-year residency at San Juan's San Jerónimo Hilton Hotel, during which time they accompanied national and international stars like Tito Rodríguez, Danny Rivera and Tom Jones, among others. He continued to work in TV and in 1966 Rodríguez invited his orchestra to accompany him for a spectacular in Venezuela. After his return to Puerto Rico he recorded Quisiera (1966) with the singer Tito Lara for Darío González's Borinquen label and released the Christmas album Bailables Navideños the following year. In circa 1969 Ortiz co-produced the debut album for Lissette Álvarez.
In 1972 Mario left the San Jerónimo Hilton for a brief stint at Dupont Plaza Hotel before returning to the commercial circuit. In 1975 he recorded Vivito y Coleando!, produced by Willie Rosario for El Gran Combo's EGC label. The band sported a horn section of two trumpets, two trombones, tenor and alto sax, and included pianist Rey Coen, lead vocalist Paquito Álvarez, and Elliot Romero, Junior Toledo and Roberto Angleró singing coro. Mario wrote all the charts. In 1977 he replaced Miguelito Miranda's orchestra at the Caribe Hilton just as he was beginning work on Borinquen Flame (1977) for Borinquen, on which 15-year-old Gilberto Santa Rosa made his recording debut. Gilberto sang lead vocals on the tracks "Palo de Caña Brava," "Los Rosales" and "Regálame Tu Amor," which he also composed. Elías Lopés wrote three arrangements including the disco-oriented instrumental "Buglers Holiday" by Leroy Anderson. Unusually, Mario dropped the saxes and just used trumpets and trombones. In 1977 he made Ramito En Salsa and La Calandria En Salsa for Borinquen with the traditional trova singers Ramito (Flor Morales Ramos) and La Calandria (Ernestina Reyes). Also in the '70s, Mario participated in the first two Puerto Rico All Stars albums and wrote arrangements for Roberto Roena's band Apollo Sound.
In 1984 Mario guested on Willie Rosario's masterpiece Nuevos Horizontes (Bronco, 1984). He signed to Ralph Cartagena's Rico Records and his 1984 hit on the label, Vamos A Gozar, was exceptional. The 15-piece band on the album comprised of four trumpets, three saxes (alto, tenor and baritone), bass, piano, timbales, bongo, conga and three vocalists. Mario wrote all the arrangements and played trumpet, as did his son, Mario Ortiz Jr., who sessioned widely on the Puerto Rican recording scene. Lead vocals were shared by Anthony Cruz (b. 5 January 1965, New Jersey, USA) and Primi Cruz (b. 1956, Arecibo, Puerto Rico), who had sung previously with Orquesta Kaffé (1973-5) and Concepto Latino (1975-83) and was recommended to Ortiz by Gran Combo leader Rafael Ithier. Gilberto Santa Rosa acted as artistic assistant on Vamos A Gozar, and on four of Ortiz's other releases between 1985 and 1990; he also sang in the chorus on this album and all of Mario's records issued during the same period.
Ernesto Sánchez began his tenure as Ortiz's regular baritone saxophonist on 1986's Dejenme Soñar!, and contributed a few arrangements to subsequent albums. Sánchez sessioned outside the band and worked extensively as an arranger, mainly in the salsa romántica vein. He arranged Lalo Rodríguez's enormous 1988 hit "Ven Devorame Otra Vez," and wrote charts for Eddie Santiago, Andy Montañez, Paquito Guzmán, Oscar D'León, Amilcar Boscan, Pupy Santiago, David Pabón, Rubby Haddock, Frankie Ruiz, Grupo Clase, Héctor Tricoche, Vitín Ruiz, and others.
In 1986, Ortiz and El Gran Combo leader, Rafael Ithier, co-produced Gilberto Santa Rosa's solo debut Good Vibrations (Combo). Mario contributed arrangements to this album and Santa Rosa's next two releases: Keeping Cool! (Combo, 1987) and De Amor y Salsa (Combo, 1988). 1987's Algo Diferente was Primi Cruz's last album with Ortiz before he left to join Willie Rosario's band. Nelson Rodríguez joined as a third vocalist (lead and chorus) on the same album. Luigi Valentín filled Cruz's vacancy on Sexy Salsa (1988). Rodríguez was replaced by Roberto Dávila, who sang the hit title track of the Puerto Rican Top 10 album, Que Sera De Mi?, in 1990. Anthony Cruz departed to pursue a solo career and had a big hit with his debut album Algo Nuevo, released on Tony Moreno's Musical Productions label, for which he continued to record up to the present day.
For 1991's The Trumpet Man, Ortiz radically re-jigged his frontline to two trumpets, two trombones and baritone saxophone. Vocalist José David replaced Cruz, and Dominican merengue star Bonny Cepeda sang and composed one track.
During the '80s and at the beginning of the '90s, Mario wrote arrangements for artists and bands, such as: Julio Castro, Conjunto Clásico, Puerto Rican Power, Pedro Conga, Tony Vega, José Alberto and Ray de la Paz. Subsequent to The Trumpet Man, Ortiz concentrated on producing, arranging and performing on a trio of albums by Colombian singer Moncho Santana on Combo: Aquí Estoy!, From Cali With Love and Sabor & Sentimiento '90-3. In 1992 Gilberto Santa Rosa hired Mario to arrange "Mama Güela" and "Baranga" for his Tito Rodríguez tribute album A Dos Tiempos De Un Tiempo (Sony Discos) and invited him to arrange one track and perform on his 2-CD set En Vivo Desde El Carnegie Hall (Sony Discos, 1995), capturing his successful March 23, 1995 concert at the prestigious New York venue. Ortiz toured extensively with Santa Rosa and Jerry Rivera, for whom he conducted during his latter days. The last studio productions he worked on were Cano Estremera's magnificent 1994 comeback Cambio de Sentido and 1996 follow-up Punto y Aparte, both on Combo.
Mario died of a heart attack on November 4, 1999.

About the Book
World-renowned experts on gender intelligence Barbara Annis and Keith Merron suggest it's time to move beyond arguments based on politics and fairness, building an economic business case for gender diversity in the workplace.
Despite forty years of laws, quotas, diversity training, and legal expenses aimed toward equalizing pay, opportunities, and working conditions between the sexes, the glass ceiling remains firmly intact. For too long, companies have played the "numbers game"—attempting to tackle gender imbalance by forcing affirmative action policies and numeric standards on organizations to increase the representation of women in management. Yet, these efforts have rarely been sustained.
In this groundbreaking comprehensive analysis, based on more than twenty-five years of in-depth surveys involving 100,000 men and women across dozens of Fortune 500 companies, Barbara Annis and Keith Merron provide a deeper understanding of the multiplicity of forces that have combined to create and perpetuate gender inequality. Gender Intelligence exposes common false assumptions that prevent men and women from successfully performing together at work—myths exacerbated by worn-out theories of gender blindness and sameness thinking. It show how a small but growing number of courageous, leading-edge companies have broken through the barriers to successfully advance women, making the remarkable transformation from compliance to choice—from pressure to preference—and show how it can be done in any business.
Gender Intelligence features 17 illustrations.
World-renowned experts on Gender Intelligence argue that it is time to move beyond politics and fairness to build an economic business case for gender diversity in the workplace.
For too long, companies have played the numbers game—attempting to tackle the problem of gender imbalance through affirmative action, numeric standards, and quotas. Yet these efforts have had no measurable impact on the number of women in leadership or on a company's bottom line. Meanwhile, the dominant paradigm of traditional business remains the same.
In Gender Intelligence, Barbara Annis and Keith Merron introduce a revolutionary and effective approach that is fundamentally altering the cultures of major corporations around the world. They uncover the forces that create the current condition of gender inequality and reveal, for the first time, the powerful principles that are bringing about a shift in thinking. They highlight organizations that have made the transformation from a focus on gender equity to the more powerful objective of welcoming the natural differences between men and women, which ultimately produces greater economic value. Gender Intelligence proves that the true measure of gender equality does not reside in a percentage but in the untapped power of men and women openly working and winning together.

Columbus Blue Jackets
Columbus Blue Jackets Tickets
In spite of their strong finish last season, the Columbus Blue Jackets came up just short of playoff competition. Injuries cost various players a combined total of 500 games last year, and fans are hopeful that 2016-17 will be a different story. Captain Nick Foligno will lead a revamped squad into battle, which will include game-changer Brandon Saad. With the imposing Sergei Bobrovsky manning the crease again for the Blue Jackets, they figure to be a legitimate threat in the Metropolitan Division this season. You can get tickets to check out the Blue Jackets live at home and on the road—turn to Razorgator for premier prices every day!

Columbus Blue Jackets 2016-2017 News and Updates
It's tough at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division; just ask the Columbus Blue Jackets, winners of three out of their last four contests but still bringing up the rear in the Eastern Conference. After a disappointing 3-2 shootout loss at the hands of the New York Islanders, Columbus bounced back nicely with a 4-3 SO victory, this time over the Anaheim Ducks. The decision lands them at an even 50 points in the standings, seven fewer than both Carolina and Philadelphia. Even if the postseason is a far cry, there's still plenty of time for the Jackets to make moves this year. Get your seats for Bruins at Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, prices start at $11!

2/2/16 - The Columbus Blue Jackets lost to the Oilers on February 2. The Blue Jackets got on the board first with a goal in the first period. Matt Calvert scored with an assist by Scott Hartnell 11:37 into the game. Their lead only lasted until the opening minutes of the second period. Then, the Oilers found the net four times during the second period and once more in the third to take the game. The loss was their first in three games. The Blue Jackets play the Canucks on February 4 and the Flames on the 5 before returning home to host the Islanders on the 9. You can still get tickets, with prices starting at $18.
1/26/16 - The Columbus Blue Jackets have broken their losing streak. On January 25th, they hosted the Montreal Canadiens and came away with a strong 2-5 victory. It was all tied up going into the third period, but the Blue Jackets took off and scored three times while shutting their opponents out. Then, they had a rematch on the Canadiens' rink, but the Blue Jackets won with the same score. The Blue Jackets may be on a roll, but they have a long way to go before they can return to their own rink again. They have three more away matches, but they will then begin a five-game home series, which starts on February 9th when they host the New York Islanders.
1/19/16 - The Columbus Blue Jackets are finally back on their own rink. They managed to win their final away game, against the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 13th, and they were able to maintain this momentum by beating out the Colorado Avalanche with a final score of 1-2. Unfortunately, the Washington Capitals proved to be too much and the Blue Jackets lost their short streak. There is just one more home game before they hit the road once again, so be sure to come out and show your support. The Jackets will be hosting the Calgary Flames and you can attend for as little as $8. After that, they are heading to Boston to face the Bruins.
1/12/16 - The Columbus Blue Jackets are definitely not happy with their last place spot in the Metropolitan Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference. Despite the dismal standing, the Jackets are coming of a 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday evening. It seems they learned something after losing badly to the Isles just the night before and were able to come together as a team with more purpose and focus. They were faster, more accurate and goalie Joonas Korpisalo made 41 key saves to keep their opponents to just one goal. Columbus looks to continue in the right direction this Saturday with a game against Colorado at Nationwide Arena. Starting price for tickets is just $31.
1/5/16 - Bringing up the rear in the Metropolitan Division is a less-than-ideal situation, but for the Columbus Blue Jackets, it helps to highlight the big wins just a little bit more. The squad which opened the 2015-16 NHL season with eight straight losses has won two straight, with both victories coming over division leaders. The Jackets got started on 12/29 with a 6-3 drubbing of the first-place Dallas Stars before taking down the Washington Capitals in a shootout, 5-4. Columbus is looking forward now to a home-and-home series with Carolina, wherein they can pull into a tie with the Hurricanes if they pick up back-to-back W's. Get your tickets for Nationwide Arena on Saturday night starting at $22!
12/29/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets had a short series of away games, but they were not able to hold their own while away from their own rink. They faced the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Florida Panthers, but they were not able to come away with a victory. The Blue Jackets have now returned to Columbus, and it looks like all they needed was their fans cheering them on. They beat out the Dallas Stars, with an impressive three-point opening period, to bring the final score to 3-6. Two more home games remain before they head out again. Be sure to catch the Jackets when they host the Washington Capitals on January 2nd.
12/23/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets have had it rough this season. With a 13-20 losing record, the Blue Jackets are in last place in the Metropolitan division. The Blue Jackets had a bright spot last week when they won two games in a row against the Arizona Coyotes and Philadelphia Flyers. However, on Monday night the Pittsburgh Penguins took it to the Blue Jackets during their away game. The Blue Jackets were in control during the first period, but that slipped away when the Penguins scored four goals alone in the second period. The Blue jackets left the arena with a 2-5 loss to add to their record. Cheer them on when they play against the Lightning on December 26.
12/15/15 - It's a tough time to be a fan of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The sluggish team has won just one game out of their last eight, and that victory is starting to feel like it happened a long time ago. The Blue Jackets most recently fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning, blowing the match 1 – 2 in the last period. It will be difficult for Columbus to recover, as they are now on a two-game road trip until this weekend. They'll need all the support they can get on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers, so be sure to be there. Tickets are currently available at prices as low as $21.
12/8/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets are placing goalie Sergaei Bobrovsky on the injured reserve list. He will likely be out for three weeks after leaving Tuesday's game against the Kings with just five minutes left on the clock. Stepping in for the last stretch was Curtis McElhinney, who made five saves but also allowed two goals, which gave LA the win. Despite the disappointing loss, McElhinney is a good backup and has earned the respect of his team. "We're very comfortable with him in the net," Coach John Tortorolla stated. The Blue Jackets will welcome the Islanders to the Nationwide Arena this Saturday, Dec. 12. Tickets can be purchased now starting at $16.
12/1/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets came off their victory against the Devils on November 25 with another victory, this time in overtime against the Penguins on November 27. The game remained scoreless going into the third period. Then, the Penguins scored during a power play goal. The Blue Jackets did not stay behind for long and tied the game a few minutes later with a goal by Ryan Johansen. Cam Atkinson scored in the overtime period for the win. Unfortunately, they were unable to keep up their winning momentum and lost against the Blues on the 28 and Canadiens on the 1. The Blue Jackets host the Panthers on December 4. You can still get tickets, with prices starting at $13.
11/24/15 - Even though the Columbus Blue Jackets are at the bottom of the standing board in the Metropolitan Division, they have had a pretty successful month compared to the rest of their season. They have won five of their nine games during November and even went on a three-game winning streak. On November 22, the Blue Jackets hit the ice against the San Jose Sharks. All looked to be going in the favor of the Blue Jackets when they started the third period with a 2-1 lead. However, they weren't able to hold off the Blue Jackets defensively, letting them score four goals late in the third. See if they can recover from the loss when they play the Devils on November 25.
11/17/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets added a third win in a row when they played the Blues on November 17. This win brought them closer to a .500, bringing their overall record to 7-12-0. The Blues scored first in the seventh minute of play, but Cody Goloubef's goal in the 17th minute of the first period tied the game. Two goals by Brandon Saad, one early in the second period and an empty net goal in the final minute of play, ensured the victory. Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets' winning streak was short lived, as they were shut out by the Senators on November 19. The Blue Jackets next host the Predators on the 20. Tickets remain available, with prices staring at $21.
11/10/15 - After a couple close losses, the Columbus Blue Jackets are back to dominating. Most recently, the Blue Jackets earned an impressive 2-5 victory against the Arizona Coyotes on November 14th. This is their second consecutive victory, which brings their season record to 6-12-0. The Blue Jackets will have one more home match, against the St. Louis Blues on November 17th, before hitting the road for a single away match. With the upcoming Blues match, as well as the two home games after the Blue Jackets return, fans have plenty of opportunities to catch their team in action. Get your tickets for their next home game, which start as low as $9, today.
11/3/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets have two wins in a row. On the 3, they beat the Sharks 5-2, thanks to a three goals in the second period. Brandon Saad had a power play goal in the first period, but the Sharks quickly equalized. Scott Hartnell, Boone Jenner, and Ryan Murray scored in the second period to bring them ahead, and Matt Calverty had an empty net goal to ensure the victory. Their win against the Kings was closer, with a final score of 3-2. Cam Atkinson, Brandon Dubinsky, and Gregory Cambell scored. The Blue Jackets will look to continue their streak when they play the Ducks on the 6. Tickets remain available, with prices starting at just $9.
10/27/15 - The season is still young in the NHL and a lot can happen, but the Columbus Blue Jackets are going to have a hard time catching up to the pack. They are currently sitting in last place in the Metropolitan Division and have only been able to pull off two victories in ten games. The good news is that the two wins have come from their last two games, which means that things could be looking up for the Blue Jackets. See if they can keep up the momentum and continue their winning streak when they take on the Washington Capitals on October 30. Buy your tickets today for $19 each.
10/19/15 - If there is one NHL team that has really taken a beating so far in the 2015-2016 season, it would be the Columbus Blue Jackets. This season has brought nothing but hardship for the Blue Jackets. They have lost all eight of their games and haven't even come close to pulling out a victory. Their closest shot was against the Minnesota Wild on October 22 in St. Paul. The Blue Jackets scored two very important goals in the first period, but were unable to hold off the Wild for the rest of the game. The Wild left their home turf with a 3-2 win. Get your tickets to watch the Blue Jackets live and possibly see their first win of the season.
10/14/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets 2015 season isn't something that should be written home about. The Blue Jackets have lost their first four games of the season, which is a first for the Ohio franchise. On October 14 they hit their home turf ice against the Senators and it wasn't a pretty sight. The Blue Jackets had a tendency to give the puck away and they were unable to ever gain control of the game. Despite all of the turnovers the Blue Jackets incurred, they were able to score three goals. See if they can pull out of their losing slump when they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 16. Tickets are available for $20 each.
10/5/15 - With the start of the NHL season just days away, the Columbus Blue Jackets are preparing to host the New York Rangers. In preparation for the official start to the season, the Blue Jackets have trimmed down the roster by assigning several players to their AHL affiliate the Lake Erie Monsters, including Markus Hannikainen, Dean Kukan, and Kerby Rychel. They also waived Andrew Bodnarchuk, Michael Chaput, and Justin Falk, with the purpose to assign them to Lake Erie as well. Josh Anderson will miss the first four weeks of the season after undergoing injury for an injury suffered in a preseason game. Fans still have a chance to get tickets to the season opener for prices starting at $61.
9/15/15 - Playing in the tough Metropolitan Division, the Columbus Blue Jackets assembled a respectable 42-35-5 record in 2014-15. This year, they've got their sights on loftier goals, such as a trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With the additions of left wings Brandon Saad and Paul Bittner, the Jackets figure to have a new look on offense in the season to come. They'll still need some big output from defensive standout Ryan Murray if they hope to make real noise in 2015-16, but Columbus is definitely in position for an exciting campaign. Preseason NHL action is underway now, and you can score tickets for Nationwide Arena today! Check out the Penguins vs. Blue Jackets contest on Monday evening with great seats that start at just $11!
2014-2015 Season
4/7/15 - The Columbus Blue Jackets, finally healthy after losing over 400 man-games to injuries this season, had a franchise-record nine game winning streak snapped on Monday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the N.Y. Rangers. During the winning streak, the Jackets got hat tricks in three games over a six-game span.
3/31/15 - They won't make the playoffs this time around, but the Columbus Blue Jackets are aiming to end an injury-plagued 2014-15 season on a high note. The Jackets are, at the moment, the hottest team not only in the Eastern Conference but the NHL as a whole, riding the wave of a six-game winning streak, as well as nine victories in their last 10 games.
3/24/15 - There have been few positives to point to during the Columbus Blue Jackets' injury-plagued 2014-15 campaign. But one thing does stand out for the Jackets: Their road record of 20-15-2 is significantly better than their record (13-20-2) on Nationwide Arena ice; while it's not likely for the Jackets to achieve another team first – that of making the playoffs in consecutive seasons – they are on a three game winning streak.
3/20/15 - Even though the Columbus Blue Jackets overall record isn't incredibly impressive this season, the amount of shootouts they have one in the month of March is. Facing three shootouts in a matter of eight days and coming out on top on all three is incredible. Their last shootout was against Edmonton on Wednesday, March 18. Columbus started the game off by scoring in the first period on the first shot of the game. This game was anything but boring as the scoring continued throughout. Regulation time ended with a 3-3 score, but the game winner was made by Alexander Wennberg. See what happens next week when the Blue Jackets compete against the Pacific division leader, the Anaheim Ducks, on March 24. Game tickets start at $9.
3/10/15 - The turnover of personnel at the Columbus Blue Jackets has already started. The Jackets sent popular defenseman James Wisniewski to Anaheim last week in exchange for two players and a second-round pick; but, more famously, sent Jordan Leopold to Minnesota – his hometown – after his 11-year-old daughter wrote a letter to the Wild front office (never sent, but posted online by the child's mom) asking them to trade for her father.
3/3/15 - A repeat of last season's visit to the playoffs is looking increasingly unlikely for the Columbus Blue Jackets this year. The Jackets have lost their last six in a row, and are now just a point ahead of Carolina in the Metropolitan Division with 20 games left in the season.
2/25/15 - After stringing together a pair of wins last week, the Columbus Blue Jackets found themselves losing three straight, the first two of which wrapped up a five game road trip over the weekend. The Jackets currently stand in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division, three points behind New Jersey but five points ahead of Carolina.
2/18/15 - As the replacement for Sergei Bobrovsky, the Columbus Blue Jackets' Curtis McIlhinney has faced a barrage of shots from his opposition. Fortunately for the Jackets, McIlhinney has been up to the task, allowing seven goals in Columbus' four wins this month.
2/4/15 - With the loss of goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky for essentially the rest of the season, the Columbus Blue Jackets find themselves falling further behind. The Jackets have lost three of their last four coming out of the All-Star break, the lone win coming in their first game back.
1/21/15 - he Columbus Blue Jackets have spent much of the first month of 2015 on the road. Interestingly, the Jackets have won four of those six games including their last two, in Boston and St. Paul, Minn.
1/14/15 - After climbing back into relevance last month, the Columbus Blue Jackets have faltered a bit. With two wins against three losses in their last five games, the Jackets have given up some ground to the Metropolitan Division leaders.
1/7/15 - There's a distinct divide between the top four and bottom four clubs in the Metropolitan Division. But, the Columbus Blue Jackets have made great strides in picking up ground and are just seven points out of fourth place.
12/23/14 - This time they didn't need overtime or a shootout. In falling 5-1 to Nashville last Monday at Nationwide Arena, the Columbus Blue Jackets broke a string of six games – and seven of eight – which required more than regulation time to complete.
12/17/14 - It's funny what a seven-game winning streak will do for a team's outlook. Just ask the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have revived their fortunes with just such a streak, the longest at this moment in the league, and moved into a fifth place tie with Philadelphia in the Metropolitan Division.
12/10/14 - Well, well, well – look who's got the longest winning streak in the Eastern Conference at the moment. The Columbus Blue Jackets seem to have picked themselves up off the ice and, with a win streak of four games, have pulled out of dead last place in the Metropolitan Division and are just a point behind Philadelphia for sixth place.
12/3/14 - The injury news to key players just keeps coming for the beleaguered Columbus Blue Jackets. First, center Artem Anisimov was placed on injured reserve after tearing a muscle which will keep him out two to three months; followed by the news that center Mark Letestu would be out another six weeks after surgery.
11/19/14 - Despite their typical early-season struggles, the Columbus Blue Jackets can still say they have one of the top goaltenders in the league, in Sergei Bobrovsky. "Bob," as locals call him, was recently rated the No. 5 netminder in the league by ESPN.
11/12/14 - Chalk it up to a ton of injuries; to soft goaltending, or to something else – but the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team expected to be a contender this year, have fallen way off the pace. The Jackets, currently the owner of the second-worst record in the league, are missing several key cogs responsible for their drive last season; and former Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky is allowing nearly three goals per game average.
10/28/14 - As with many of the hockey teams, the Columbus Blue Jackets are facing a slew of injured players. With just nine games into the season, their record is 4-5-0, placing them 7th in the Metropolitan Division. However, they do have a reputation for being a hard-working team that overcomes this adversity. Currently, they have lost their last three games, the most recent against the Ottawa Senators, but they have high hopes going into their weekend game against the New Jersey Devils. After the Devils, they have two consecutive games against the Carolina Hurricanes, one at home and then one away. The Blue Jackets want to show their fans they can be successful and play the game the way they want to win and have fun.
After last year's monumental run into the postseason, the inspired Columbus Blue Jackets are eager to tackle the upcoming 2014-2015 as true contenders and not just a Cinderella Team. The tenacious Blue Jackets surprised the NHL with their first playoff appearance in six years, and their second in club history, thanks to a rough-and-tumble band of players who refused to go down without a fight. This showed in the first round of playoffs, when the Pittsburgh Penguins were forced to six games in order to eliminate the Blue Jackets.

2013-2014 Season
5/2/14 - In the end, even though the end came a couple rounds too soon, it was an historic, record-setting season all the way around for the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team which has historically struggled for success on the ice. Despite being knocked out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by Pittsburgh, the Jackets set franchise marks for wins in a season (43), points (93), and goal differential (+15); the squad qualified for the postseason for just their second time in history, and notched not just their first postseason win (Game 2, in Pittsburgh), but their first home postseason win as well, in Game 4. While the Jackets did struggle to fill Nationwide Arena during the regular season, it was clear that, with some sustained success (so far one strike-shortened and one full season) that there is a market for hockey in central Ohio, and a "5th Line" of fans who stand ready to "Carry the Flag" and support the team.
4/17/14 - This wasn't exactly how the script was supposed to go. The Columbus Blue Jackets, in just their second trip to the NHL postseason, definitely made their presence on the ice known to the Pittsburgh Penguins; and some commentators noted that, at least through the first two periods, the young Jackets had the Penguins showing their age. But in the end, age and experience won out over youth and exuberance, and Pittsburgh took a 1-0 series lead on the Jackets, 4-3, thanks to a pair of power-play goals in the second period. Those two goals gave the momentum back to the Pens, after Derek MacKenzie put the Jackets up 3-1 less than a minute into the second period; the pair of scores occurring just 45 seconds apart. Then at 8:18 in the third, at the tail end of a 2-on-1 rush, Brandon Sutter sent home the game-winner for Pittsburgh on a wrist shot which handcuffed Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. With the Blue Jackets still looking for their first postseason victory, Game 2 of the series is Saturday night in Pittsburgh, while Games 3 and 4 head to Nationwide Arena in Columbus next week.
4/4/14 - Win one, lose one…with just seven games left, the Columbus Blue Jackets must find the consistency they had before the Olympic break to solidify their hold on their second playoff berth in team history. Over their last five games, the Jackets have alternated wins and losses; dropping one on the road to the New York Islanders, then falling at home to potential postseason opponent Pittsburgh, and then losing in overtime to one of the Western Conference's contenders, Colorado. In between these losses, the Jackets collected a big home win over Detroit, and then headed to Raleigh to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes in overtime. Against the Avs, the Jackets pulled out to a lead in the second period on goals by Cam Atkinson (his 20th) and Blake Comeau (his 4th), but Colorado would get two goals of their own in the third period, and then the game-winner from Gabriel Landeskog on a power play in overtime.
3/27/14 - A year ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets, in what would be their final year to date in the NHL's Western Conference, just missed out on the Stanley Cup playoffs, losing on a tiebreaker to Minnesota. This year, it's a different conference – the Eastern – and a different story: These Jackets, even though they are currently tied on points with three other East squads (Detroit, Washington and badly slumping Toronto), hold all the tiebreakers should they be necessary. It also didn't hurt that the Blue Jackets went into Hockeytown USA and handed the Red Wings a 4-2 loss earlier this week, vaulting them back into the thick of the race. It is looking more and more that this playoff race will come down to the last day of the season!
3/20/14 - With just 14 games to go in the regular season, fans of the Columbus Blue Jackets are sweatin' it out. The Jackets, currently eighth – the second wild card slot – in the NHL's Eastern Conference, are amazingly enough taking aim at second place in the realigned Metropolitan Division, just two points behind the third place New York Rangers and three back of current second place Philadelphia. However, the Jackets dropped a tough one at Nationwide Arena earlier in the week, as visiting Carolina – and goaltender Anton Khudobin, who made 46 saves on the night for the Canes – prevailed, 3-1. Columbus outshot Carolina 47-20 – 19-0 in the third period alone – but could get just the lone goal from Boone Jenner, his 13th on the season, assisted by Ryan Johansen and Nathan Horton.
3/13/14 - Every win puts them one game and two points closer to the Holy Grail: a berth in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Having been aced out of last year's postseason by unfavorable tiebreakers, the Jackets are relishing the opportunity, which would be just the team's second ever taste of the playoffs, the first being a short lived run after the 2008-09 season. After their game with Dallas was postponed due to the collapse of Dallas Stars player Rich Peverley, the Jackets showed that the experience was behind them, handing the Detroit Red Wings a convincing, come from behind 4-1 loss at Nationwide Arena. With the score tied at 1 after two periods, the Blue Jackets simply unloaded on Wings rookie netminder Petr Mrazek, exploding for two goals within a minute;s time halfway through the third period, and a fourth goal five minutes later.
3/7/14 - Just a week after reactivating him, the Columbus Blue Jackets unloaded right wing Marian Gaborik, sending him to the Los Angeles Kings for wing Matt Frattin and a pair of draft picks – a second rounder and a conditional third rounder. Gaborik, who was a deadline acquisition by the Blue Jackets for last season's abortive playoff push, had only appeared in 22 games this season, scoring just six goals. The Blue Jackets were involved in one other trade deadline deal this week, picking up defenseman Nick Schultz from Edmonton for a fifth round draft pick. The Jackets are pushing hard for just their second ever playoff appearance; after losing their first game after the Olympic break to New Jersey, they've won two straight to move into a seventh place tie with the New York Rangers.
2/28/14 - Without even playing a game since the post-Olympic Games resumption of the National Hockey League's regular season, the Columbus Blue Jackets received good news this week with the activation of right wing Marian Gaborik off the injured list. Gaborik, acquired at last season's league trading deadline, had been inactive since suffering a broken collarbone against Philadelphia on December 21, missing 22 games plus representing his home country of Slovakia in the Olympics in Sochi, Russia. As well, Russian national team – and CBJ – goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has to be happy to be back in Columbus, after a disappointing showing at the Sochi Games.
2/21/14 - Columbus, OH has had no shortage of hockey during the Olympic break. The Blue Jackets sent one coach and four of their players to Sochi (Fedor Tyutin, Artem Anisimov, Nikita Nikitin and Sergei Bobrovsky) to represent Russia in men's hockey, and will welcome them back for practice this weekend. Before the break, the Blue Jackets were on a roll: achieving a franchise record 8-straight games due to increased intensity during power play. Columbus currently sits one point away from securing that final wildcard spot in the East. Can they make a playoff run for the second time in team history? Columbus takes on the Florida Panthers at home on 3/1, and tickets start at $43. Score some Blue Jackets tickets and see if this team has what it takes to compete in the postseason!
1/30/14 – Before the Jackets recently lost three in a row, they were one of the
hottest teams in the NHL
winning a franchise best seven games in a row. While the team remains above .500, the Jackets will make some changes including adjusting their lines. Cheer on the team as they try to make the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2009. Columbus Blue Jackets tickets saw the biggest bump in price for remaining home game since the start of 2014 (22%). You'll pay an average of $117 at Nationwide Arena, $13 under the league's average price.
Columbus Blue Jackets tickets are currently averaging $78, fourth cheapest in the League and second cheapest in the Metropolitan Division behind
Carolina Hurricanes tickets
. Last year at this time, Blue Jackets tickets had a similar price tag at $85. Like most teams, interest in the Blue Jackets fell and so too did
ticket prices with the NHL lockout
last year, 16% to be exact to $71. By the start of the 2013 shortened season, Blue Jackets tickets averaged $73. While the price was lower than it had been six months prior, Columbus hockey tickets were up 14% since the 2011-2012 season.
2012-2013 Season
The slight increase in price from last season to now is likely due to the quality of play (the Blue Jackets just missed the 2013 NHL Playoffs via a tiebreaker with the Minnesota Wild) and marquee Divisional matchups. The most expensive game on the Blue Jackets schedule at Nationwide Arena is a late-March matchup Columbus Blue Jackets vs.
Pittsburgh Penguins
, averaging $152. In fact, the three most expensive games in Columbus will be against the Penguins – averaging $135 in November and $128 at the end of the calendar year. Columbus will open the preseason at home against the Penguins where tickets are as low as $13 and average $69, half the cost of the top 3 regular season Blue Jackets games.
The Penguins along with the Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, and Washington Capitals make up the new Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. A must-see NHL game in the Division: Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers, the
return of Rick Nash
. Like the Detroit Red Wings, the Blue Jackets made the jump from the West to the East after the NHL realignment this year.
Recent changes to the Blue Jackets roster include the additions of defenseman David Savard, Mario Gaborik from the New York Rangers, last year's Vezina trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky and former Boston Bruin Nathan Horton.

Comments about Run Happy Smile SS T:
I run every day. The fushia Run Happy shirt is my favorite as it's a great length, it flares slightly and the sleeves aren't too tight. I don't like to be constricted when I run. I also wear the Run Happy visors - great! I was disappointed that the blue shirt runs a half size smaller than the fushia. I wish they would make this same shirt in other bright colors like oranges and lime greens, and size them exactly like the fushia shirts. I would buy one in every color! Love the logo too. How about some shorts with this logo?

Comments about Run Happy Smile SS T:
Love the color (bright pink) and the graphic.
Was a little disappointed with the fabric. It seemed to stretch out of shape, the hem on the sleeves folded up, it just didn't seem to be of the quality I expect from Brooks.
I have several other 'run happy' Brooks shirts but this one was cut from a different cloth, literally.

BRENTWOOD -- The principal and a teacher at Loma Vista Elementary have been placed on administrative leave while the Brentwood school district investigates the handling of a parent's claim regarding alleged abuse, which the police have since deemed unfounded.
The action stems from a May 6 physical interaction between a special education teacher and a special needs preschooler on a Loma Vista Elementary School playground, which a parent observed and reported to the school that same day. The school investigated, but police were not notified until May 16, according to district officials.
While the Brentwood school district further investigates the handling of this incident, the teacher and Loma Vista Principal Lauri James have both been placed on leave.
According to the Brentwood police, which concluded their investigation Monday, there were allegations the teacher kicked the student down the slide.
"The teacher actually followed the student down the slide and the student turned around to bite the teacher on the leg and she moved to avoid being bitten," Brentwood police Lt. Doug Silva said. "They later went down the slide laughing together."
Before entering the slide, though, the student had thrown tan bark at the teacher, he said.
"She placed her hands on his shoulders to place him in time out," Silva said. "That was the school psychologist approved technique to deal with that behavior."
A Brentwood police officer interviewed witnesses of the playground incident on May 17 after James contacted them on May 16, according to district officials. James was asked to notify local law enforcement by Brentwood schools Interim Superintendent Doug Adams after district officials were informed of the incident by another parent on May 16.
"I made the decision after that to send a team of different district members to assist with the investigation. After hearing those initial interviews, I made the decision to place the teacher and administrator (James) on leave," Adams said. "I want to be able to thoroughly investigate the matter."
According to Adams, James had immediately conducted an internal investigation after learning of the May 6 incident that same day and the teacher called the student's parent that night to explain what happened.
James was the Loma Vista principal when former special education teacher Dina Holder threw a 5-year-old student with autism onto a classroom floor and kicked him in 2010. Again, James investigated the incident internally but did not inform the authorities until days later than state law required. Holder was later convicted and the district finalized a $950,000 settlement with the victim's family earlier this year.
All school employees who work with children are "mandated reporters" who must report any suspicions of abuse to police or Child Protective Services immediately by phone, and then through a written report within 36 hours.
In a letter to Loma Vista parents on Monday, Adams wrote that James failed to inform any district officials or law enforcement of the incident.
"Administrative leave is not an indication of wrongdoing. This incident may not have been an instance of abuse," Adams said. "We need to examine the facts of what occurred and whether our staff followed proper procedures in responding to this incident. I am very concerned about the lapse in time from May 6 and May 16."
Brentwood school board President Carlos Sanabria said that contacting the police provides an objective look at the situation.
"Everyone is on heightened awareness," Sanabria said. "There is the new training and everyone knows what they are supposed to be doing now. A lot more stuff is being reported to the police and they are doing more investigations now."
Sanabria said that when new BUSD Superintendent Dana Eaton starts July 1, the district will be further investigating these matters.
"We will be looking at everything for some root causes and whatever other changes we want to make to improve communication," Sanabria said.
Adams said that the district's current investigation should provide a fair and honest assessment of what happened.
"As a principal, the first thing you should do is conduct an internal investigation. If there is any doubt, you should call the district office," he said. "An element of my investigation is to determine why that call wasn't made."

Grovetown, Ga--Any time you're a start up program it's going to take some time before you are a true playoff contender. Now in their fourth year, Grovetown feels like they are ready to be just that.
A lot of key pieces to the puzzle return with their entire offensive backfield and several lineman back for another go. Hunter Peace has had a good off season slinging the ball and with Jamal Cummings and Terrell Hughes in the backfield, weapons are in place. 10 of these guys have now been with the warriors all four years and they want to go out with a bang.
"It would be awesome. I would love it. It's definitely one of the things that I want to do" said Hunter McBride
"We've had like 10 guys be here since the begining" said Jamal Cummings "Just the fact that we want to go out big after those four years is what's really going to motivate us to do good this year."
One big thing this team needs to do is finish the drill. After running off to a six and one schedule, the Warriors faltered losing their last three. While it's served motivation for the season, it's also served as a lesson for the coaching staff.
"We've talked about it since last year and you know it's great to be 6 and 1 but it doesn't do you any good if you finish the year and don't make the playoffs. So that's our big push and that's why we've beefed up our non-region schedule." said coach Rodney Holder
That non-region schedule includes Washington County, Swainsboro, North Augusta and Houston County to start the year.

SAN DIEGO -- The Cornetto trilogy continues with a bang with "The World's End."
Filmmaker Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the cheeky blokes who brought you the classic zombie epic "Shaun of the Dead" and the action romp "Hot Fuzz" are back in the coming of middle-age in the apocalypse movie "The Worlds End."
The pithy Wright sees the cycle as a riff on "the joys and dangers of perpetual adolescence."
"World's End," an epic pub crawl adventure, is the last in the trio of movies. It's the exclamation point on the quirky mythology.
"It's the unifying factor in the trilogy of films," says Pegg, who also plays Scotty in the Trek reboot, "We wanted to give it a great sendoff."
Pegg quips that the bromance cum sci-fi flick is also an homage to Whovianesque time travel, only "our Tardis is beer."
Wright concurs: "It's like Dr. Who if the Dr. were really hammered...Dr. Hooch."
His character Gary is a "sad goth" antihero lost in 1990. A king in high school, he never found his way to adulthood.
Instead he just drags all of his buds back into his time warp in a sort of "Big Chill" meets "Alien."
Though they hedged about revealing too many of the flick's secrets, Pegg said that Gary is one of the most challenging roles he has ever played.
"He's the villain of the film as much as he is the hero," says Pegg. "He's a nutcase."
Frost, a man of few words, said it was nice to play a character that's not a "stoned idiot." His character is an tightly-wound corporate lawyer who turns into "pink hulk" after hitting the sauce.
Cornetto fans flocked to the morning panel in Hall H and they're weren't even any pints in sight. The witty meets schlocky movie spins around an epic pub crawl involving 12 bars and countless plot twists and turns. Bottoms up.
