Im a freshman basketball player at a small D3 school. I sprained my ankle bad a couple of days before our first practice (Monday). Our trainer has made me sit out this entire week of practice to do rehab and such. I feel like I could maybe practice but I probably would only be about 50-60% right now. The worst part is our roster has almost 30 kids on it right now so everyone is trying to compete to get on the travel squad. Due to having to sit out, I feel like I am falling behind/being overlooked, plus, I just hate having to watch; I want to play!!
Any help or suggestions? I know I need to listen to the professional trainer...
what i did when i broke my ankle was for cardio i rode a stationary bike and lifted as much upper body and lower body as i could handle with the ankle. i also did ball-handling in chair or standing still. If you continue to do this through the injury, it will stand out to the coaches of the travel squad that you wanna get better and compete. Also take time to watch film and review playbook. Basically im saying you should rest it from pracitces but do the things i mentioned to stay in shape and in fine tune with the team and show the coaches your ready to work. Hope this helps!
I hear you what I did was rehab in class, yeah i know wierd, but i did stuff like writing the abc in the air using the ankle I sprained. Also to maintain my level of play I studied alot of nba games paying attention to every detail, free throws cause if you make em like 90% u'll have a great jumper, and ball handling. hope this helps

Riot Against Black Mill Men.
ELDORADA, Ark., Nov. 12.-- Serious
trouble has broken out among the white
and colored men of the South Arkanas
Lumber Company, situated near here, and
the Sheriff was sent for to go out and
quell the riot. It seems that the whites
object to the presence of blacks in the
woods, and banded themselves together and
began a work for examination with shot-
guns. Several negroes are said to have
been shot. Details are meagre. The
Sheriff summoned a posse and left for the
scene immediately.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team will embark on its first road trip of the 2013 season, as it heads to San Antonio for a matchup against UTSA on Friday at 7 p.m. It is the first of three consecutive road games for the Islanders.
A&M-Corpus Christi sits at 0-3-0 on the season, while the Roadrunners are 1-3-0 on the year. UTSA lost a pair of games its opening weekend – to Baylor and Texas A&M – before going 1-1 in last weekend's UTSA Classic against a pair of Southland foes. The Roadrunners knocked off Sam Houston State 1-0 and fell to Lamar 3-1.
UTSA has gotten one goal apiece from Taylor Wingerden and Anissa Munson on the season, while Happy Orere-Amadu leads the team with 12 shots. Bubba Makela has started each of the last three games in goal for the Roadrunners, amassing a 1.14 goals against average and an .826 save percentage.
The Islanders have scored in each of their first three games, but have been on the wrong end of a one-goal contest every time. After a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Houston in the program's inaugural contest, the Islanders fell in a double-overtime heartbreaker, 4-3, against Dallas Baptist. In the most recent contest, Campbell used a strong start to knock off the Islanders, 2-1.
Freshman Yvette Franco has been the offensive leader for A&M-Corpus Christi, as the local product has a team-leading three goals and seven points. Meghan Cordero and Alyssa Miller have also registered single tallies on the season. Senior Audrey Baldwin has been a team leader off the field in addition to being a strong presence in net for the Islanders, posting a .714 save percentage on the season.
Live coverage of the UTSA-Islanders match will be provided on GoUTSA.com with live stats available. Updates will also be provided on the official Twitter feed of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team, @IslandersSoccer.

Oregon State police drug investigators tracked marijuana found during a traffic stop near Lakeview on Friday back to Gold Hill, where they discovered even more pot.
Three people face charges in the case that started at about 10:20 a.m. Friday when an OSP trooper stopped a rented 2012 Chevrolet Sonic with Utah license plates as it was eastbound on Highway 140, police said in a news release today. The trooper had seen a lane-use traffic violation, but an investigation after the stop uncovered more than five pounds of marijuana hidden in the trunk, police said.
The Sonic's driver Susan M. Jackson, 54, and passenger Cheryl K. Jackson, 53, both from Boise, Idaho, were arrested on charges of unlawful possession and distribution of marijuana.
The OSP Drug Enforcement Section continued the investigation, leading detectives to a home in the 100 block of Jacoby Street in Gold Hill. A search there yielded an additional 39 pounds of marijuana and other related evidence, police reported. Timothy E. Wyatt, 61, who lived at the Gold Hill home, was cited and released on charges of manufacture, possession, and distribution of marijuana.

Fuel Cell Technologies to Power Transit Buses
January 19, 2011
From the sunny climates of Pasadena and Atlanta to the chill of Chicago winters, fuel cell buses will be getting a real-time test because of the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program. The Center for Transportation and the Environment in Atlanta will receive $6.42 million and CALSTART in Pasadena, California, will receive $10.17 million to coordinate research among fuel cell manufacturers, engineering firms, and transit agencies throughout the country. Included in the funding will be money to demonstrate how a fuel cell bus operates in the harsh winters faced by Chicago's RTA fleet.
Other funded projects include an effort to develop a smaller, less costly and more durable fuel cell power system that will enable commercialization of U.S. fuel cell buses, and an effort to develop and demonstrate a lightweight highly efficient bus that incorporates an improved hybrid-electric drive and enhanced bus design. The purpose of the National Fuel Cell Bus Program is to facilitate the development of commercially viable fuel cell bus technologies and to increase public acceptance of the fuel cell vehicles. See the FTA press release and a list of funded fuel cell projects.

Workers in Oakland and San Francisco have a chance to earn free college degrees online, if their companies agree to help out.
On Thursday, the for-profit UniversityNow is announcing a free undergraduate business degree through one of its two universities, books and materials included.
But the 2-year-old company doesn't have traditional college prospects in mind. The free-degree offer applies for now to anyone working in Oakland, Sacramento or San Francisco whose employer provides tuition assistance of any amount.
The College Works program, endorsed by the three cities' mayors, is expected to expand uNow's enrollment of about 600 students.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said she hoped the city's businesses would use the opportunity to invest in their workers, as she plans to do.
"Forward-looking companies really benefit when they grow their own employees and raise their standards," she said.
The school's offer is more than a marketing strategy, said CEO Gene Wade. Working adults, he said, too often are left out of discussions about higher education, the need for more highly skilled workers and the crippling student loan debt.
People 30 and older carried $610 billion in college loan debt by early 2012, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
"People are getting hosed, and we're saying we can do something to stop the problem," Wade said. "It's the right thing to do."
UniversityNow's announcement comes as millions around the world are signing up for free, so-called massive open online courses, or MOOCs.
But so far, most of those courses, taught by university professors, are offered without credit, and few low-cost online degree programs exist. An online bachelor's degree from Kaplan University, for instance, costs about $70,000. A full-time student at uNow's Patten University can earn a degree for about $10,000.
After years of cutbacks in public colleges and universities, UniversityNow seems to be "filling an extreme market need," said Joshua Kim, director of learning and technology in Dartmouth College's Masters in Health Care Delivery Science program.
UniversityNow's innovation and experimentation offer lessons in efficiency, said Kim, who writes a technology column for the publication Inside Higher Ed.
"Low-cost players will force change, and needed change," Kim said.
Enrolling at a local state university didn't seem tenable to Christopher Noyes, a 51-year-old former truck driver, mechanic and construction worker who wants to go into management.
"More than likely I'm going to be working until I'm 75," said the Oregon resident who's looking for less strenuous work as he ages. "The physical demands of driving over the road are pretty intense."
Noyes lives near a state university and considered going there. But he figured it would set him back $9,000 a year, forcing him to take loans just as he's trying to save for retirement.
Now, Noyes is taking English composition, introduction to computers and introduction to business through New Charter University, owned by uNow.
He pays about $800 for each four-month term, an amount he can afford. It involves "an awful lot of reading," he said. But, he regularly communicates with his instructors, whom he finds encouraging, and he likes the flexibility of his schedule and the self-paced coursework.
Undergraduates at UniversityNow's New Charter University pay $199 a month for as many courses as they wish to take. Those at Patten University, an accredited Oakland college uNow acquired this year, pay $329. Students from Patten can transfer their credits to traditional universities, if they wish, or earn degrees.
Neither uNow nor its students receive federal grants or other funding, said Wade, but the company has raised $24 million in grants and investments.
"Under our model, you don't need student loans," he said.
UniversityNow and the Salt Lake City-based Western Governors University (tuition $481 per month) may be among the few low-cost programs available -- but not for long, Wade said.
"You're about to see a wave of low-cost competition hit the market pretty soon."

College Works offers some Bay Area workers the chance to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree in business at no cost, through UniversityNow, an online education startup based in San Francisco.
Who's eligible: Workers in Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento whose employers make a donation of any amount. UniversityNow covers the remaining cost, including books.
Degrees available: Associate's in general business studies; bachelor's in leadership and in general business management/leadership

The SarahPac Tries To Quash The "Unofficial" Legal Defense Fund
The people at SarahPac are now working hard to stop a private citizen and Sarah Palin supporter from raising money for her defense.
In just a few days the "official" Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund was to be unveiled. Or as a spokesperson told me on April 5, "A legal defense fund should be up and running soon so keep your eyes out. I don't have the details to reveal now. The fund is a grassroots effort led by Alaskans, and many Alaskans and Americans have contacted us to inquire how they can assist."
But a similar "grassroots effort" led by a Texan beat her to it.
Clayton Paslay, a Texas businessman, did everything right. He contacted Sarah Palin's attorney, he filed all of the proper papers with the federal government and he announced his Sarah Palin Defense Fund yesterday with a new website.
This is what a spokesperson from the SarahPac told me about the fund yesterday -
"It is legal. It's just not the official one. Please tell people that the official one is soon to come. Again, we do not know that donors will comply with our terms and guidelines which are very strict - we may end up needing to contact every single donor to ask the questions that we will be asking. However, we appreciate any and all assistance! Thank you."
Today that same spokesperson is telling the Associated Press and other media outlets that it is not a legal defense fund and Sarah Palin can't accept the money.
Here is the statement from Meghan Stapleton of SarahPac:
"The continuing generosity of Alaskans and Americans is overwhelming as many reach out to assist Governor Sarah Palin and her family with their legal bills.
However, the official legal defense fund for Governor Sarah Palin has not been formed and the Governor cannot accept monies for those obligations from any other entity than the one in formation. Numerous federal and state laws to need to be abided by and the official legal defense fund will have very strict donation guidelines.
We thank everyone interested in helping the Governor. The best way to assist her will be through this official fund which will launch later this month."
Meghan Stapleton
Palin Family Spokesperson
Poor Clayton Paslay, a good man who is just trying to do the right things and gets caught in a buzz saw. Clayton never intended to give the money to Sarah Palin. He wanted to pay the attorney directly, for tax reasons.
The thing that surprises Mr. Paslay the most is that no one from SarahPac ever contacted him. When he tried to contact someone from SarahPac, they wouldn't respond.
Paslay tells me he did get a call from an attorney who identified himself as being in the "Sarah Palin camp" who insisted he take the site down. But since there was no way of confirming that the attorney was really affiliated with Sarah Palin, Clayton said "thanks, but no thanks."
Sarah Palin's personal attorney, Thomas Van Flein, told Clayton Paslay today that a trust fund will be set up in Alaska for the "official" defense fund and Palsay said, "Fine. I'll just send the money I collect to the trust fund." The response was - "we'll get back to you on that."
So now Clayton Paslay is in limbo, but he is not taking his site down. "I will work things out with SarahPac." Paslay says. "But as of right now, no one has contacted me from that orginization."
It is starting to feel like the SarahPac wants to quash this poor guys efforts for for all of the wrong reasons.
I hope it all works out for Clayton Paslay, whose heart was in the right place, but when it comes to politics and money - that's not good enough sometimes.
Says Clayton, "I still support Sarah Palin though. I think she is getting a raw deal and want to help."
And now it looks like Clayton Paslay is getting a raw deal too.
*****UPDATE***** Meghan Stapleton and Clayton Paslay have finall talked but nothing really was resolved. Clayton is keeping his site up ad will be on MSNBC tomorrow at 9:15. In the meantime, Thomas Van Flein has sent an email to Paslay saying he can't use Sarah Palin's likeness for his site. Is this really happening?

Directly from SarahPAC:
"Please note: There are many websites claiming to support Sarah Palin. SarahPAC.com is the ONLY political action committee authorized by Sarah Palin."
Why don't you guys even listen to Sarah?

That what I posted above is directly from the front page of SarahPAC.
BTW, Ms. Palin has also made it abundantly clear that she does not respect "bloggers".
Why do rightwing bloggers think she would suddenly feel any different about them? Are you all trying to be John Ziegler, the exception that proves the rule?

Sarah Palin is the Jessica Simpson of Alaska. Duh, I don't know what papers I read.

I see the back adn forth going on at C4P and wanted to post a comment here something similar to waht I posted there.
There is "legal" and there is "authorized." Meg Stapleton, to me, was clear. This fund is a legally established fund but it is not ours. If they don't know who is donating or how much, they open themselves up to all kinds of potentially embarassing things.
Also, no one associated with Palin really knows who this group is or what positions they hold. They could hold positions antithetical to what she believes and could end up being slammed for being "directly associated" with a group with "questionable" positons when she has absolutely no connection.
Finally, they may, indeed, have Palin's best interests at heart, but I have to be at least a little suspicious of a group creating a "Sarah Palin Defense Fund" without getting her express approval first. Could it be that a group senses it can get some free publicity by associating itself with her?
Perhaps Stapleton could have been more forceful about their not being associated with this fund, but she did nothing wrong.

I don't think Meghan Stapleton did anything "wrong." I just think SarahPac could have handled this better. I posted exactly what she said about the fund..that it was legal but not official. She also said she appreciated it. It wasn't until the next day they decided they were not going to accept the money.
The SarahPac should have contacted Clayton directly and worked it out with him. He is a good man who just wants to do the right thing.

We have to remember that SarahPAC is relatively new, and is still on its shakedown cruise period. With everything Gov. Palin or anyone associated with her, does, doesn't do, says or doesn't say, is under a microscope, which isn't easy. We, as her suppporters, have to be very careful that we don't, out of our enthusiasm for her, do something that would cause some idiot to file yet another "ethics" complaint. I know the money raised by the unofficial defense fund will get into the official fund, so I'm not concerned about that.
I told the folks at C4P just to relax a bit, and things will work themselves out.
- April 8, 2009 at 3:52 PM
- SCSoxFan said...
I understand, Editor, but is seems that you are, shall we say, a little bit annoyed with Palin's staff, specifically Meg Stapleton. To me, the original statement from Stapleton clearly indicated that this unofficial fund was problematic, but clarity is in the eye of the reader.
I hope you will give Stapleton a break here. With only four PAC employees and she being the only one in Alaska with Palin, I suspect she is a bit overwhelmed. The Governor will need to look at whether she can expand her PAC staff without making it seem to Alaskans that she is running for President and not concentrating on her job. Her balancing act (and those of her AK and DC staffs) would cause me air sickness.
- April 8, 2009 at 3:59 PM
- Editor said...
Yes, that is fair to say. I am a little annoyed. But i am going to withhold further commnt until I think it ou a little bit.
I will tell you this - I have now had several conversations with Clayton Pasley. He is a good man who wants to help Sarah Palin. They should be trying to work WITH him not against him.
- April 8, 2009 at 4:04 PM
- narciso said...
No she meant the anonymousbloggers who threw lie after lie at Kos, filtered into the Huff Po, and a hundred other outlets. And she didn't want to give any press to Andi Sullivan. There will be an official site soon,wait for it.
So the Crapster, have you made up your mind if she is Stilson like zealot, or someone who made gay rights a reality, and supports contraception, I know those are big ideas to wrap yourself around,
or is Levi Johnston you're knew go to source.
- April 8, 2009 at 4:55 PM
- SCSoxFan said...
I'll take your word regarding Mr. Pasley's intentions, Editor. I would have hoped, though, that a politically astute person would have realized that setting up what is, in essence, a shadow fund apart from the authorized one could cause some problems. If he truly wants to help, I would have suggested that he wait until the fund was established by Palin's people and worked with it then, using any contacts he may have and his website. Freelancing, especially for someone who is as targeted by the left & MSM as Palin is, only ends up causing unintended consequences.
From his statements, it would appear that Mr. Pasley is interested in helping the Governor and bears no ill will towards her people. If your conversations with him bear this out, I hope you will let go of the annoyance you feel and chalk it up to the continual growing pains of the Palin proto-organization.
- April 8, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Poor Mr. Paslay, now he is a victim for jumping the gun and starting a defense fund that was not authorized by the individual we are all trying to support, Sarah Palin. There's a reason why the process is taking the Palin Camp longer to do, they want it done right so there's no monkey business.
I am sorry, but appearing on MSNBC to discuss this matter reveals more about this individual's true intentions...I don't call this helping, I callt his exploiting...
Sarah Palin does not need this kind of support, it takes away from her, not add...I hope you guys refund everyone's money back and let them know to donate it to the correct place, when it's set up...that would be supporting.
- April 8, 2009 at 8:49 PM
- LindaW said...
Hmm...I find this strange. If I had wanted to set up a legal fund to help Sarah Palin, but then her PAC said that there are strict rules to it, then I'd take down that legal fund and wait for the official one to come up. I also wouldn't call it "official" as it was not endorsed by her people.
I know that Mr. Pasley's heart is in the right place, but he should also be respectful to Sarah Palin's people by taking down the site. He can use his energy to promote the real "official" fund that will be set up by her people instead of trying to create confusing and drive money into his.
Sorry, but just saying.

Hopefully, things will go smoother between SarahPac and pro-Palin blogs and organizations from this point out. We all just want to help. It has been frustrating for us Sarah supporters because we don't have much communication with SarahPac yet. The many donations that are now flowing into SarahPac will help pay for additional staff which should help improve communications.
Keep up the good work on your blog!
- April 8, 2009 at 11:26 PM
- Oh Crap said...
In my field we work by something called SPOC - single point of contact. It really does work. I believe that is what Stapleton is trying to say.
I remember something similar re: Wasilla Bible Church arson, with the unhinged right blogosphere telling people to send random (and unsolicited) checks to WBC because the f#%s burned it down.
Of course people ponied up. Whatever happened to that investigation, and whatever happened to that donated money?? Did anyone bother to ask, or is that too far back in historical memory to address, what with Obama coming for your guns and your daughters?
Later, a couple of dorks put up Palinit, some bogus Google mirror, and people flocked to it without thinking first, as if Sarah was somehow associated with it. She wasn't.
Why not just wait for Sarah's own lead instead of putting her in these awkward spots, associating her with single-issue sites like FAC?
Makes it look like the work of scam artists trying to ride her name for profit, though they may not be.
(Also makes the followers look like they don't really trust the person they are following to make their own decisions, on their own time.
Do they not think Sarah is capable of handling her own legal affairs??)

None of that made any sense, given that as a conservative, you're likely a product of homeschooling or eight years of No Child Left Behind either of which leave its hapless victims completely unable to express yourselves in writing.
Or, you could be one of the older ones who despise the very idea of education and resent those of us who are fortunate enough to have one, dunno.

The church was rebuilt, one, the investigation is likely ongoing, two, Three, I was educated at private school on scholarship and university. Four, why do you dredge up youthless facts like the discounted allegations of the Johnstons, into your blog corner, at least half of that stuff is all garbage. Five, Clayton Paisley probably means well, but you have to dot every I and cross every T, because of the abuse of the ethics law. six, you really have no consideration for her, so just buzz off, We try to stay away from the Huffington Post and certainly the Kos blogs do the same, and don't come here
- April 9, 2009 at 6:33 AM
Sarah Palin just wants to make sure it is all 100% above board so the media doesnt attack her for it. Whats the big deal if we have to wait a few days/weels for the OFFICIAL fund to be set up before donating? I will donate the max to the official fund once it is set up. Do not freak out!
- April 9, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Is she trying to be like OctoMom?? Why would she think anyone should help her pay legal fees she incurred herself... How many Governors ask for donations for their bills ??? Get Real !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- April 12, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I could care less about what Sarah Palin or her little pit bull Meghan Stapleton have to say about anything. They both disgust me and I can NOT wait until people finally wake UP and see how inept Palin is! Palinbots are as vacuous as Palin herself. Palin "doesn't respect bloggers"? Who gives a crap what she thinks?

Clock Is Ticking On Neil And Other UFA's
Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray has to get Chris Neil under contract for next season and the longer he lets this situation go unfixed, the more Neil is likely to decide to see what kind of offers he receives this summer.
This would be a big mistake by Murray. Teams are going to be all over Neil if he hits unrestricted free agency and a modest bidding war is bound to take place.
Neil is a rare commodity in the NHL. A guy who can fight, play the game well and be a core piece of your leadership group while still in his prime at 30 years old is something that virtually every team is looking for. And he has proven that if he doesn't have to be the heavyweight enforcer of the team, he can actually put up respectable numbers like he did in 2006 and 2007 with 16 and 12 goals respectively.
His goals plunged to only 6 last season as he was beset by injuries and was used sparingly by ex-coach John Paddock. This year Neil is spending most of his time fighting because Bryan Murray neglected to replace Brian McGrattan with a true heavyweight. That leaves Neil to take on the larger enforcers of the Eastern Conference and he has been a busy boxer.
People keep saying that there's no need for enforcers anymore but Neil is getting into a huge scrap almost every night and fighting is actually on the increase around the league. Like it or not, fighting is still a huge part of the game and Neil is, "pound for pound", one of the toughest in the league as Georges Laraque said earlier this season.
If you could pick one player on the Senators who has consistently succeeded at his job night after night, it would have to be Chris Neil. In a lot of ways, he is the heart of the team and the only one to consistently stick up for his teammates, this year and in seasons past.
Also, wouldn't it be nice if this team could have more than just Alfie to boast about playing their whole career in one city? Great teams with tradition like the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings seem to find a way to keep players in town for the duration and Ottawa has a chance to do just that with a handful of its current players.
Chris Phillips has already played 743 games for the Senators but is still a ways back of Wade Redden who is second all-time with 838 games. Mike Fisher just recently passed the 500 mark and Neil is right behind him with 488.
These players would all be willing to stay long-term (in a small, frigid and highly taxed Canadian city no less) and other teams would be lucky to be in the same position. Fans seem to have a bad case of ADD, wanting change just for change's sake but building tradition and loyalty takes a while to cultivate. Having a core of players stay in town for a long time certainly helps accelerate that process (it would also be nice if the Senators just chose a logo and a sweater and stuck with it for more than 5 years).
I'm not saying Murray should break the bank but Neil will probably accept something in the 2 – 2.25 million range to stay with the only team he's ever known and with his best buddy Fisher.
Why take a chance on losing a valuable commodity like Neil? There is not a lot of skill in the minors so this team will have to grind it out for the next few seasons and who better to have on your side than one of the most physical players in the league?
Get it done, Bryan.
Speaking of unrestricted free-agents, what are the chances of both Filip Kuba and Dean McAmmond returning to the Senators next season?
Murray will have to think twice about re-signing Kuba at his current salary (3 million) and there's no doubt Kuba will be expecting a healthy raise after putting up some significant numbers so far.
It's a bit of a lose-lose situation for Murray because if he loses Kuba, he's really got a hole to fill on defense and we all saw what happened when Kuba missed the entire disastrous road trip over Christmas.
Yet "Kubes" is probably not dynamic enough with the puck to warrant a big raise on his current contract. You'd like to think you could get a better power-play quarterback with that money but there's no guarantees in free-agency.
We all saw what happened with Brian Campbell last summer. Murray pinned his hopes on Campbell and struck out badly. Then he lost Andrej Meszaros to an alleged "offer sheet" that never existed (and never could have because Tampa did not own all its picks needed for compensation to Ottawa) and voila – you have a lower echelon defense in a matter of months.
Losing Kuba for nothing in the summer would only exacerbate the situation so look for Murray to move him at the deadline to the highest bidder.
Kuba should be able to bring in a valuable prospect or a young established player in such a deal. He's the perfect deadline pick-up for a team looking for stability. See Larry Murphy getting traded to Detroit in 97 as a good example of that. Kuba can be that type of difference maker in the short-term but as your stand alone number one defenseman he is definitely not the answer.
McAmmond has been a good player for the Senators but they are going to make room for some younger players like Zack Smith, Peter Regin and Ilya Zubov going forward. McAmmond would also be attractive for a lot of teams at the deadline but would probably only bring in a pittance compared to Kuba.
A lot of people will probably begin speculating about Jason Smith getting traded but I got a hunch that Murray will hang on to the veteran (who has 1 year remaining on his contract), not only because he's a proven leader (and you need leaders as much as young players in a situation the Senators find themselves) but because Murray will be loading up to make the playoffs next year and Smith is a guy built for the post-season.
In fact, you can probably already pencil in Smith, Anton Volchenkov, Chris Phillips and Brian Lee for next year. If some good puck movers can be found, I'd guess that would put players such as Alex Picard, Christoph Schubert and Brendan Bell under the gun.
Those roster spots can be much better used.
Why would anyone do Ottawa a favour and take Martin Gerber off of their hands when 29 other teams already passed on Dany Sabourin just a week ago?
Everybody is talking about the Flames but Mike Keenan would eat Gerber alive, which would be much nicer than what he did to some of his past goalies. The afternoon drive show on the Team 1200 was all abuzz with the rumours and were doing a bit of revisionist history, claiming that Gerber would be a fantastic back-up goalie.
He wasn't a good one here.

Jeremy: Do you go big or stay at home; as in we are going to make a run for the play-offs!!! Futile,frivolous,unforgivable....
This will effect the roster and future planing:
(1)Neiler is gone; he's lost a step & wants too much money. (Watch he is going to end up in Montreal, they love the guy.)
(2)Smith is going nowhere. He cannot play at this level anymore. Makes too much money & nobody wants him. (Didn't a year ago)
(3)#21 should be the scratch tomorow night. (Sore foot I think)
(4) Kuba will want too much money. (We may get something for him in return.)
(5) We may fall into a mini rebuild here out of necessity. Spend some money on one Defenceman; bring up the kids; and watch Brian Elliott put this team on his back. (If and it's a big if we don't hurt his development too much in this unnecesary streatch drive.)

I'm with you on keeping Neil. I am biased towards keeping players who have been here a long time, as long as they can still contribute. If they cannot contribute, get rid of them. Neil can still contribute.
I think $2M is too high. I don't think that he will be offered that much on the open market. I may be wrong. Call me crazy, but I think that $1.3M is his market value.
I think that Kuba's market value will be high at the deadline. For that reason, he should be moved. At 32, he's too old and not good enough to lock into a long term deal.
I like McAmmond, but if we're out of the playoffs at the deadline, move him also. I would move Smith as well, so I differ with you on that one. I don't mind the player, I don't like the $2.6M cap hit. We need to free up dollars for a true #1 d-man and goalie.
The Gerber love-in is solidifying our fanbase as the dumbest of any Canadian market. The collective mindset of our fair city is truely baffling. Here we are sitting second from the bottom in the league, and we waive our #1 goalie who could not stop the puck at key points in hockey games, and we still have some people who think that he could help one of the better teams in the league.
No wonder Bryan Murray still has a job.
- January 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Anonymous 7:54PM Chris Neil is a team man to the end. I agree somewhere around 1.3M. But scuttlebutt has it no one has even spoken to him. Someone in his camp (in retaliation and unofficially) says he wants Georges' job @Larague type money (1.5M). George is good for 2 more years but may be moveable; they ain't too happy with him either. Our Cap hit is workable, but our actual salary is over 59M, there is simply "no room" for any older intermediate type players who are not already under contract. Smith is immovable, trust me, ask around the league. Brian Murray's job is safe, solid as a rock. (Maybe too solid!)
PS: To Ken Warren. Thank You for that interesting and in depth article on our number one prospect; by a probing journalist, for a first string paper. Bravo!!
- January 26, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Murray's philosophy seems to be it is better to not do anything than overpay, but if at the end of the day all free-agents are overvalued, what sort of strategy is it to acquire nobody when there is little signs of reprieve from the juniors?
- January 27, 2009 at 12:22 AM
To start the season, ya gotta bring up the kids; play 'em in their correct positions and count on 'em to produce! Remembering to give them 20 games (old NHL guide line). It used to be "our Russians" are better than "your Russians", now it's "your kids" are way better than "our kids"!!

I've worked for a variety of magazine publishers in my career—from giants like Time Inc., which has (or at least had) tens of thousands of staffers, to small, privately owned operations like AIN Publications, my employer for the last decade. In every case, what most determined whether the company was innovative, enjoyable to work for and successful was not some corporate mission statement, not the audience the magazines addressed, not the financial resources the publisher possessed. It was the people I dealt with there every day. Were they smart, dedicated, creative and likable…or not?

If I mentioned February, the color red and romance, most people would think of Valentine's Day. It's true that this is the time for sweeping one's sweetie off their two feet, but that doesn't only apply to bipedal Homo sapiens. For the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, it could mean sweeping a vixen off all four rust-colored paws.
As you and your loved one took a romantic star-light stroll this Valentine's Day, you may have heard the high yips, howls, whines and fighting vocalizations of local foxes swooning and tussling for their mates. Although mating season for foxes is short, February is the time to see and hear them pine. Throughout these fast few weeks, females are in estrous for only three days, and during this time, you may see males following their ladies closely. In regular populations, foxes will find a mate and pair for life, but in instances where there are a lot of individuals in a small area, they have been found to be more promiscuous. Romance may be cut short, though. As fox and human populations continue to overlap, a wild fox's lifespan may only be up to 2 years old. In good conditions, they have been known to live for 14 years.
Once a pair mates, although attentive to each other, they aren't very choosey about finding a den. They find other animals' burrows or dig their own, find a bramble of brush or hollow logs or slink under porches or abandoned structures. Just less than two months later, toward the end of winter, the female gives birth to four to 10 cubs. She stays with them through the spring while the male runs back and forth, hunting for his mate and kits.
As kits grow and become more independent throughout the year, the family abandons the den but stays in their territory of about 150-1,500 acres.
Although foxes hunt alone and are labeled solitary animals, they can travel and stay as family packs until kits are a year old, at which time they stray and find their own Valentine.
In Eagle Valley, we have the red fox, although you may see it in any color from gray to black to blond to yellow to brown. You can always tell a red fox by its white-tipped tail though, no matter what its color phase. You may be lucky enough to see the smaller, more elusive gray fox in the area as well, which you can tell by their black-topped and tipped tail and shorter legs. Flanked on either side of the state, you may also find the very small and gray kit fox (west) and swift fox (east), both of which can be identified by their prominent black-tipped tails.
All of these species are omnivorous, eating small mammals, carrion, berries, insects, birds and lizards, but they will take advantage of trash if available to them. Avoid negative interactions with the local fox populations by remembering to always put trash in critter-proof trash bins and picking up your Valentine's Day candy wrappers! This not only ensures that foxes stick with their natural diet, but also helps avoid human conflicts. Taking this extra bit of care all year round means that everyone has a chance to celebrate their loved ones, whether they have two feet or four.

NC Zoo reaches maximum capacity, closes gates
At least 15K people attended park Monday
Published 3:23 PM EDT Apr 01, 2013
The North Carolina Zoo had to turn people away Monday afternoon after the park reached maximum capacity.
The gates were closed after at least 15,000 people had entered the park, said Tom Gillespie, zoo spokesman.
Zoo staff will meet to come up with a game plan in case more people try to visit the zoo on Tuesday, Gillespie said.
Monday was the first day the Dinosaurs exhibit opened for its second season. Temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s also helped create an ideal day to visit the park.
Multiple Triad school districts are on Spring Break this week as well.

Photographers John and Linda Mirro present their journey up the Dalmatian coast on a 48-passenger ship at 7 p.m. tonight at the North Branch Library in Silverthorne. The slide show is the second in a free series from Friends of the Library.
Entitled "Cruising the Dalmation Coast," the visual journey begins on a cruise in Piraeus, one of Greece's major ports. From there the Mirros made their way through the Corinth Canal and the Gulf of Corinth into the Adriatic Sea. Among the ports they visited were Itea, Greece - to see the ruins of Delphi - and Corfu, where they visited Sisi's Palace.
Other sites included a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Albania, a breathtaking fjord in Montenegro and Korcula, where they saw what many think was the birthplace of Marco Polo. Vistas along the way included lakes, waterfalls and cascades. The final destination was Lake Bled, in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, where they took a rowboat excursion to the church in the middle of the lake.
"These are beautiful, historic areas and towns that many people never get to see," John Mirro said. "We look forward to sharing our slides and stories of this wonderful trip."
Tonight's presentation takes place in the Blue River Room of the North Branch Library, 651 Center Circle in Silverthorne.
Friends of the Libraries presents these talks as part of fundraising efforts for books and other supplies. Follow the group on Facebook and Twitter or call Janet Good at (970) 468-5887 for info or to get involved.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Part of the reason the Giants own the best record in baseball owes to their pitching depth, in particular the back end of the starting rotation.
On Saturday night, Ryan Vogelsong illustrated once again why the Giants aren't dependent upon any one of their starters as he won for the third time in five starts and lowered his ERA to 3.20 in a 2-1 decision over the Minnesota Twins at AT&T Park.
Vogelsong's stats are befitting a top-of-the-rotation pitcher, which is why manager Bruce Bochy is hesitant to refer to Tim Lincecum and Vogelsong as his Nos. 4 and 5 starters.
"You could see this coming," Bochy said of Vogelsong's torrid stretch the past six games. "His stuff has really picked up. His velocity, his command. He has really hit both sides of the plate very well, and his secondary pitches have been crisper."
The numbers back up Bochy's assertion that Lincecum and Vogelsong are more than hit-and-miss spots in the rotation.
The Giants are 7-3 in games started by Lincecum, just as they now are in Vogelsong's starts. That's almost half of the Giants' 31 victories so far this season.
Vogelsong improved his record to 3-2 but said he places far more emphasis on how often the Giants win in his starts.
"More times than not, it means you're keeping your guys in the game," Vogelsong said of the Giants' 7-3 record in his starts. "As a starting pitcher, that's the first and foremost thing to do. Give them a chance to win. That's a stat that means a lot to me."
The Giants notched their 31st victory Saturday, which moved them ahead of the A's for the most in the majors. They also moved past the Detroit Tigers and A's for the best won-loss percentage.
The Giants aren't even one-third of the way through the season, but Bochy is pleased with the way his troops are playing.
"It means we're playing good baseball," Bochy said. "We've been hitting on all facets to this point. The pitching has really come around. ... We've been clicking."
Saturday offered a prime example. Strong pitching all the way around, solid defense and a few timely hits added up to the Giants' second straight victory over the Twins and fifth without a loss in interleague play this season.
For the second straight game, third baseman Pablo Sandoval delivered the big blow offensively.
He hit a solo home run -- his fourth in six games -- in the second inning and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth for the Giants' only scoring.
But he was relegated to second billing as Vogelsong held the opposition to one or no runs for the fifth time in six games.
He allowed the Twins three hits and one walk, striking out seven. That's not surprising, second baseman Brandon Hicks said, when you consider Vogelsong is throwing four pitches effectively every game of late.
"He's got a real good idea of how he wants to pitch hitters," Hicks said. "He's always going to give you an awesome effort. It's fun to play behind him."
Vogelsong said he is riding a wave of confidence, with an improved change-up and breaking ball and the re-emergence of his cutter as an effective pitch.
"I feel like when I'm out there, I can throw anything at any time," Vogelsong said. "That's a great feeling because it's not always like that. The last couple games, it's been that way."
Sergio Romo gave up a leadoff homer to Josmil Pinto in the ninth but retired the next three batters for his 16th save.
Yusmeiro Petit will start against the Cubs on Monday, Bochy said. Petit already has made three spot starts this season, including two for Cain when he was out with a cut finger.
Bochy said some of that had to do with Lopez's left arm being a little "cranky."
"It was never a situation where he couldn't pitch," Bochy said. "I was trying to back off on him on purpose."
Belt suffered a broken left thumb when he got hit by a pitch in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 9. He is expected to miss six weeks.

Defensive end Thurley emerges for Wofford
Published: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 10:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 10:18 p.m.
Hunter Thurley's fast development at defensive end has not only vaulted him into the starting position but also strengthened Wofford's overall depth on the line.
No. 16 Wofford (0-1) at The Citadel (0-1)
6 p.m., ESPN3, 910 AM, 105.7 FM
Tickets: Wofford sold out its allotment, but fans can still get seats in the Terriers' section of the stadium by calling The Citadel at 843-953-3647.
Thurley, a redshirt freshman, took the first snaps in his collegiate debut Saturday against Baylor. When he proved capable of handling the job at left end, it allowed Wofford to move sophomore Tom Bove to backup E.J. Speller at nose tackle. Sophomore Darius Burton backs up Thurley.
"We always try to be at least two-deep up front," Wofford position coach and defensive coordinator Jack Teachey said, "especially against a team that makes a lot of throws because that tends to tire the kids out, chasing the quarterback and chasing the ball down the field. Also, it was hot and in the first couple of games, the nerves are a little bit higher. Nervous energy will drain you a little bit. So I like to rotate a lot."
Thurley (6-foot-4, 245 pounds) was a first-team all-state player for Christ Presbyterian in Nashville, Tenn. He was captain for a team that went 12-2 and reached the semifinals of the playoffs.
"He's very athletic and has a ton of ability," Teachey said. "There are some things we need to work on, but that was his first game against a very good opponent. He's learning how to go really hard on every play. He's getting better fundamentally and at understanding how he fits into the puzzle. … Hunter has a very bright future. He's going to be fantastic."
The bright lights and big stage — there were more than 45,000 fans at Baylor's stadium for the opener — didn't seem too overwhelming for Thurley.
"I felt blessed to have the opportunity to play my first game against a team like that," he said. "It was a great experience. Baylor was a tough team to start out with, a really fast-paced offense, but I feel like I play pretty well. I definitely could have done a lot of things better. I think I did better as the game went on."
Thurley said last year's redshirt season was invaluable as far as getting him ready to start in his first college game.
"That's helped a lot in terms of getting me more reps and looks. I think it prepared me a lot for this season," Thurley said. "It was great to have guys like E.J. and Tarek (Odom, the other starting defensive end) helping me along."
Bove, meanwhile, has the ability to move back and forth between nose tackle and defensive end. He started two games at nose earlier in his true freshman season last year and was tagged as the starting left end coming out of spring ball.
"Honestly, I like playing defensive end more than nose guard because you don't get double-teamed," said Bove, from Baton Rouge, La. (Parkview Baptist School). "But I like them both. They're both physical positions."
When Speller suffered an ankle injury in last season's opener against Gardner-Webb, it was the rookie Bove who moved in to start the next week against Division II Lincoln University, a game Wofford won, 82-0.
"That was the best first game for freshman," Bove said.
Thurley would probably agree with that.

Hydraulic Kart Stand For Sale
by Bob Smith » Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:55 pm
Hydraulic kart stand, (one person operation) A very simple design that's less complicated than other stands, costing hundreds of dollars. Kart stand has two large stationary all terrain wheels in the back, and two 6" front caster wheels in the front. To use; the stand folds flat on the ground, and you roll and slightly lift the kart over the stand. You then use a cordless drill (not included) to spin the hydraulic lift to raise the kart. To unload the Kart, you simply use the drill to lower the lift, and roll and slightly lift the kart off the stand. The stand works best with karts that do not carry a great deal of extra weight. We purchased it new from Ohio Chassis, last year, but found that our son's kart is too heavy for the stand as he carries around 65lbs of weight to meet the minimum weight for his class. I will post pictures later, or will have it displayed again at NTK for the next race weekend.

How can we develop medications that can improve the lives of persons with ASD?
By Geri Dawson, Chief Science Officer, Autism Speaks
When I am giving talks to families about the research Autism Speaks funds, I am sometimes asked why we are funding a particular study when that study appears to have very little to do with the majority of people who actually are living and struggling with autism. This especially comes up when I am talking about studies involving animal models, brain tissue, and rare genetic conditions. Parents often express their frustration that scientists have not yet developed medications that can improve the quality of life for people with autism, medications that can help a child or adult with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) communicate better or be more comfortable around other people. I realize then that the connection between many of the studies we fund and our goal of developing medications that can help people with autism may not be clear. In this article, I hope to illustrate how many of the individual studies that we fund – which in isolation may not seem relevant – are part of a discovery and development process ultimately aimed at providing medications that can improve the life of individuals with ASD.
I will begin with some background on the process of moving from basic laboratory studies to delivery of a useful medication to the community, a process often referred to as "translational research." The process of drug discovery begins with identification of a "drug target." A drug target is a component of a biochemical pathway, sometimes referred to as a "signaling" or "metabolic" pathway. How do we figure out what signaling or metabolic pathways are affected in ASD? One way is to closely examine the actual brain cells of persons with autism, which is only possible with post-mortem brain tissue donated by families (view a recently funded study using post-mortem brain tissue).
Another way is to use animal models (see a perspective on mouse models from Craig Powell) to study the effects of a genetic mutation that is known to result in ASD or ASD symptoms. It has also been useful to start by studying conditions such as Rett syndrome and Fragile X syndrome because the genetics of these conditions are well understood. In addition, we know that these conditions are often associated with autism (e.g., about 30 percent of individuals with Fragile X also have autism). Animal models of these syndromes are becoming well developed, allowing scientists to study how the genetic mutation influences the biochemistry and brain functioning (view a recently funded study of synaptic alterations in the amygdala). These types of studies pointed scientists to specific signaling pathways; for example, a pathway involving two neurotransmitters: GABA and glutamate. These chemicals are crucial for neurons (brain cells) to establish a communication network through the formation of synapses (connections between neurons). Specifically, the genetic mutation alters the amount of these chemicals released in the brain (i.e., too much glutamate), resulting in over-excitation of the neural circuits. This disrupts learning.
Interestingly, at the same time these discoveries were being made, other scientists discovered that many of the genetic mutations that result in autism also disrupt the functioning of the synapse (view a recently funded study of synapse function). The strategy here is to look for common signaling pathways that are disrupted by different risk genes. These pathways offer the best hope for developing a medication that can be helpful not just with one genetic subtype of ASD, but more generally for many individuals who have ASD (even those where an environmental trigger might have been involved).
The process of drug target identification
Once a disrupted pathway or pathways contributing to a condition is discovered, scientists can start testing ("validating") whether certain medications can restore the functioning of that pathway and improve behavioral functioning in animal models and humans. Another strategy for testing different medications is to examine the effects of the medication on cells (neurons) derived from freshly isolated post-mortem brain tissue that was donated by individuals with autism through Autism Speaks' Autism Tissue Program.
Currently, several medications that are designed to improve behavioral functioning in autism are being tested in persons with associated genetic disorders such as Rett syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, and Fragile X syndrome (view two recently funded human clinical trials of medications for Rett syndrome and Tuberous Sclerosis ). If these medications are found to improve behavioral functioning in individuals with these conditions, plans to study some of these medications with people with ASD will follow. The hope is that because these conditions share some biological and behavioral similarities, these same medications will be more widely effective. At the same time, drawing from what we have learned about the role of glutamate from studies of Fragile X syndrome, Autism Speaks is currently funding a "phase one" or "proof of concept" clinical trial of memantine, a medication that reduces the availability of glutamate, for persons with ASD. As we understand more about the underlying biology of ASD using the strategies described above, there will be more promising leads for new medications that can improve the lives of persons with ASD.
The process from target identification to FDA approval of a new medication is arduous. Animal and human studies are needed to examine safety, side effects, optimal dosing, and other factors (these are referred to as Phase I, II, and III clinical trials). This "drug development pipeline" involves the collaboration among agencies such as the NIH and Autism Speaks that provide research funding; academic scientists who often conduct the high risk research that leads to target identification and validation; pharmaceutical companies who, once a target is validated, have the capability and resources of conducting the larger Phase II and III trials; and the FDA who is responsible for approving the medication for wide usage. This collaboration is essential for drug discovery and development.
Translational research moves findings from the lab to the families. It is one of many diverse areas of research emphasis at Autism Speaks. This type of research provides hope for the future. But, at the same time, we are funding studies that have more immediate impact on people lives. These include studies of novel behavioral and other types of interventions that can be quickly implemented by parents, therapists, and teachers, as well as many others (see examples of recently funded studies on Pivotal Response Training and Cognitive Enhancement Therapy that can have immediate impact. This balance between short- and long-term research is a key part of Autism Speaks' overall funding strategy.

After 7 1/2 years of dealing with diapers and pull-ups our daughter is fully potty trained. 24 days ago we took both our children who have a diagnosis of ASD PDD NOS, to Ecuador to the American Stem Cell and Anti Aging Center for Stem Cell treatment. The changes, especially with our daughter are dramatic! She is a happy little girl, looking right in our eyes and smiling all the time. She used to tantrum, a lot, and was generally uninterested in interacting at all. Instead of researching towards a drug treatment, which I had tried, why is this not available here and why doesn't everyone know about it! I am furious as a parent that I happened upon this treatment, and even more furious that there are a couple facilities in the US that offer the treatment ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 US. We paid 20,000 per child. This was their own dormant stem cells, no risks!! How can something like the H1N1 vaccine be rushed through and something like this take another 6-8 years for a billing code. Very sad statement about our government and world in general. This isn't too good to be true, it is real, our kids are real, and thank God we took a leap of faith and a bank loan and tried it, or I would have been changing pull ups for a long time to come instead of smiling at my daughter and helping our kids on their road to recovery! Wesley Chapel, FL
April 10, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Mona, could you post more information about the stem cell center in Ecuador? Is there a website or email to get details? Thanks so much.
April 9, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I am devastated by these grants-virtually all genetic. This feels like a huge step backwards.
April 13, 2010 at 11:48 am
Why would you be devastated by research? What are you afraid of? This is a huge step forward of the mission of Autism Speaks. The goal is to find the answers, and genetic research holds those answers. Once we have the genetic "causes" we can target approaches & treatments to help and maybe even prevent autism. Why use the word "devastated" ??
February 7, 2011 at 6:05 pm
just stumbled upon this discussion…but we shouldn't be looking for "genetic causes". Our human DNA has remained virtually unchanged in 10,000 years…why is it all of a sudden we are seeing a meteoric rise in autism, heart disease, cancer, etc.? The genetic theory of disease flies in the face of the entire theory of evolution. It can only be explained by environmental "causes". I am not insensitive to families with autistic children, we have a very dear friend with an autistic child and we see the devastation it brings, and I certainly applaud Autism Speaks for bringing the discussion to the forefront, but we need to understand that we can only get the right answers if we ask the right questions. For the past 100 years we've been asking "what illness do I have and how do I treat it?" instead of "why am I sick and how do I get healthy?"
April 10, 2010 at 12:07 am
thumbs up -excellent job Autism Speaks!
April 13, 2010 at 11:35 am
I applaud Autism Speaks to keeping with its mission and funding more genetic research.. All this "proposed" treatements, diets and biomedical approaches will benefit in the end, once we know the genetic changes/components of autism. Why would we not want that? Why would we fight against research.. Katie, I not sure why you are against our very mission!
April 15, 2010 at 3:00 am
Bob, we aren't getting anywhere funding the same studies and the same 10 researchers over an dover again. We need more diverse research – and research w/ a greater sense of urgency.
Mona can you share more about your experience w/ stem cell therapy?
April 26, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Please take a look at this clip 60 Minutes ran last weekend about stem cell treatments for various neurological disorders before you decide to make an investment of this magnitude. While ALS is the focus of the story, autism is mentioned specifically. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/16/60minutes/main6402854.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody

A planning commission in St. Johnsbury, Vt., has approved a power company's proposal to build a fishing pier.
Planners have recommended a review of Green Mountain Power's offer.
Green Mountain Power in February proposed installing the fishing pier. After it's built, St. Johnsbury would take ownership and maintain it.
Town officials say the utility is proposing the pier in order to meet re-licensing requirements. Power companies seeking licenses are often required to construct public installations like fishing piers and canoe launches.

On Thursday, the Sycamore boys 7th grade basketball team opened its season hosting the Tierra Buena Eagles from Yuba City. The pups entered this season with a core group of players who finished last season undefeated. And they began this season right where they left off. "This group of boys has a lot of talent," stated coach Mike Erickson. "We have 4 players that can run the point and we have strong players all over the floor."
The pups opened the scoring in the first quarter with layups by guards Jose Ramirez and Randy Miller. Trevor Facey would come off the bench and add another layup in the first quarter as the pups led 6 to 5. "We started off pretty slow and nervous. It took a while to get the motors running." But, the pups would open a huge 17-point second quarter led by guards Brian Wilkerson and Angel Gonzalez and by the inside play of Tyler Little and Brandon Lara who combined for 7 points in the quarter and many offensive rebounds. The pups never looked back, cruising to a 39-18 win.

Hedrick leads Central to 56-42 victory vs. Marist
- Written by Sheldon Traver (Originally published in the Statesman Journal)
- Published on August 31, 2008
- Hits: 357515
Panthers Overcome Fast Marist Start, Dominate Middle Quarters
(Ed. Note: This article originally appeared in the Statesman Journal, and is reproduced here as a service to Oregon high school football.)
MONMOUTH — Central High got revenge for last year's playoff loss to Marist, taking a 56-42 victory against the Spartans Friday night at McArthur Field.
Central lost to Marist in last year's OSAA Class 4A semifinals.
Marist dominated the first quarter by scoring two easy touchdowns. The first touchdown came in the third play of the game at 11:39 when Marist's Mitch Wilson scored from for 37 yards out.
With five minutes left in the period, Marist's Jeff Bedbury caught a pass from quarterback Tevin Cheever and ran 62-yards to give Marist a 14-0 lead going into the second quarter.
However, the Panthers rallied in a high-scoring second quarter. A 9-yard pass from quarterback Grant Hedrick to Brandon Whiteman put the first points on the board at 10:01 followed only minutes later with a 49-yard pass from Hedrick to Central senior Michael Hamilton the point after kick by Roman Daberkow tied the score at 14.
Hedrick had a monster game, throwing for six touchdowns and rushing for a seventh.
Sheldon Traver | Special to the Statesman Journal
Marist swiftly moved the ball up the field using the next five plays to move the ball 61 yards. Marist's Gianni Carter caught a 13-yard scoring pass followed by a PAT by Gabe Schepergerdes to bring the score to 21-14.
With 5:45 left on the clock, Hedrick scampered 56 yards for another Central touchdown followed by the two-point conversion by Marcus McArdle to give the Panthers the lead at 22-21.
With 2:04 left in the quarter, Central's J.T. Tirado took a pass from Hedrick for 10-yard touchdown. The PAT kick made it 29-21 Panthers.
However, with 5.9 seconds left in the half, Bedbury answered with a catch in the end zone followed by a Marist two-point conversion, ending the half in a 29-29 tie.
Central capitalized on several Spartan errors, including a big fumble by Bedbury at 9:51 in the third to take control of the game. The Panthers then drove 27 yards in eight plays.
A 9-yard touchdown catch by Central junior Jesse Peters followed by a PAT kick by Daberkow brought the score to 36-29 Panthers.
Late in the third quarter Hedrick led his team to another touchdown on a 6-yard pass to McArdle with 1:14 left in the period. The PAT kick failed, leaving the score 42-29 Panthers.
Marist managed one additional touchdown on a quarterback keeper by Cheever followed by the PAT by Schepergerdes to bring the score 42-36 with 9:33 on the board in the fourth.
Senior Brandon Whiteman scored the Panthers' next touchdown on a 29-yard pass from Hedrick for a 49-36 score.
Central finished its scoring on a 64 yard run by senior Casey Connor, which capped his game high 176 rushing yards. Marist's Carter managed one final touchdown with 20.5 seconds left on the clock.

Ordered one of the new Disc Gators. Price was kind of steep ($50 for the two pole version with shipping) - but knowing how many times I've used my golden retriever, they pay for themselves pretty quickly. More often than not it helps out someone else in your group.
Looks like it could be a hassle to carry around, but I used to carry around a modified golf ball retriever which was similar, just missing the clamp, at Vista del Camino where there's lots of water and discs are generally retrievable (not as much the case in Iowa). Since I don't have a backpack style bag, I'll have to get inventive on carrying it (it comes with a mesh bag with clips, for that purpose).
The golden retriever will probably still be necessary for some situations like when I land in middle of Duck Creek. But I always hate unwinding (and re-wrapping) the whole golden retriever for short retrievals, and can definitely waste some time casting that thing out. You could wrap the cord around something other than the retriever, that way you don't have to unwrap the whole cord. But I don't. I should.
I'll try to remember to post feedback once I use it.

Labyrinthitis Overview
Labyrinthitis means an inflammation of the inner ear structure called the labyrinth. Sometimes the term labyrinthitis refers to other causes of inner ear problems that have no inflammation because those problems produce similar symptoms.
