And now, a season after setting Limestone's single-season school record for 3-pointers with 97, he is coming off the bench for the Division II team,
"I know it's hard for a guy like him to play 10 or 15 minutes a game," Limestone head coach Brandon Scott said. "It's just difficult for him to get in a rhythm. But we have a lot of really good guys and some are in front of him. He just wants to win. He says that and he backs it up with the way he acts. I'm just so proud of him and I tell him that all the time. He's been so unselfish."
Corry is averaging 9.2 points in 16.5 minutes per game with no starts. His shooting percentage is down, 38 percent from the floor overall and 31 percent on 3-pointers and at this current pace would finish with about half the 3-pointers he had last season.
"He's maturing. I've been blown away with his maturity level," Scott said. "His game is maturing, too. He is such a better defender. We are expecting tons from him not only this season but in the future. I think he's going to have tremendous junior and senior seasons."
SMC'S ONLY LOSS: Fifth-ranked Spartanburg Methodist is 17-0 but did suffer a loss during the holiday break.
Sophomore guard DaJohn Rowland, a former standout at Chesnee High School, became academically ineligible for the second semester.
He was the team's second-leading scorer, 13.1 points per game, and was shooting 47 percent on 3-pointers.
"That hurts," SMC head coach Jeff Brookman said. "DaJohn is a great kid. We miss him.
"He was a big part of what we do. It's just one of those things."
Rowland's replacement in the starting lineup, D.J. Coleman, made quite an impression in his debut in that role. He scored 10 of SMC's first 14 points, including 3-for-3 on 3-pointers, in a 69-48 win against Walters State. Coleman is a 6-foot-3 sophomore who transferred from South Carolina State. He is averaging 10 points per game since joining the lineup.
"He was a great high school player (at Sumter)," Brookman said. "He earned that starting spot. He's really playing well."
SMC begins a five-game home stand at 4 this afternoon against Brunswick, followed by a 7:30 p.m. game Thursday against USC Salkehatchie.
CLOGGED MIDDLE: South Carolina Upstate is missing a player who scored fewer than three points per game last season.
Head coach Eddie Payne said the Spartans are still trying to make adjustments to deal with the graduation of Chalmers Rogers, a 6-foot-7 forward who averaged 2.2 points per game as a senior. Rogers was a 37 percent shooter on 3-pointers, ranked fourth on the team in made baskets from long range, and pulled the opponents' big men out of the paint.
"He was not what you'd call a prominent player, but he was a stretch forward," Payne said. "He could step out and make shots. People had to guard him out there. Now they're really clogging things up against us."
One of the solutions has been to go with a smaller lineup and use Torrey Craig at a forward spot instead of a wing.
"We've done that more in recent games than we have in the past," Payne said. "It all depends on the matchups. We can't put Torrey in a position to get in four trouble guarding the some of the big forwards on the other teams."

+1 vote: Having webbrowser based configuration instead of standalone swing UI should make UI layout and design tasks easier most of the people. Splitting a work dueties between a hardcore backend and UI layout issues, we have more html wizards than Swing ui wizards. And to be honest its where all apps go...the web2.0 and whatnot.
Big big bonus to access configuration changes from the PS3 web browser free of charge, or my cellphone wlan connection.
My own agenda is wish we had Tomcat or Jetty servlet/jsp engine backend for UI configuration, I could run YleAreena, Youtube, GoogleVideo converter in a very same servlet engine.

A reader of Theodore Dalrymple's article Heart of Darkness comments thus:
My comment is not regarding Mr. Dalrymple's excellent article, but rather your fatuous instruction "If you have enjoyed this article . . ." which is highly inappropriate to the contents of the article. Enjoyed, forsooth! perhaps by a sadist or masochist or Mr.Mailer.
Oh dear. My name is Mary Jackson and I am fatuous. I came up with this admittedly rather trite form of words. "Enjoy" is not quite the word for a Dalrymple article.
Then again, what is? I came up with this form of words to link all articles to a blog posting for comments, but each New English Review article is different. One article instructs, another delights. Some do both. One moves the reader to pity, another to terror. Some inspire fear, some surprise, some perhaps a fanatical devotion to the Pope. Laughter, or tears, or laughter through tears. Snorts of derision and howls of indignation. One article made a reader cry out: "You are a monster, Mr Derbyshire." And it wasn't even one of Derb's.*
So, unless we are to pick a different word for each author and each article, what shall we have instead of "enjoy"?
How about "read"? "If you have read this article, please comment here." But that's a bit patronising. Someone will say: "Of course I've read it, forsooth, otherwise I wouldn't be commenting."
Here's a better idea. Readers, stop being so literal-minded.

STOCKTON - More than 125 people interested in joining the Stockton Police Department packed - and overflowed - City's Hall council chambers Wednesday night during a recruiting workshop sponsored by the police chief and mayor.
The gathering, which was diverse ethnically and in terms of age, pleased both Chief Eric Jones and Mayor Anthony Silva.
"I'm really impressed with the turnout. It's very encouraging to see this many people with an interest in a law enforcement career," Jones said.
"We want to grow our own officers here in Stockton," added Mayor Silva. "We know we have a vast array of people here, from academy grads to those starting at ground zero in terms of the process of becoming an officer or civilian employee. This is a great turnout and helps keep our positive momentum."
The city has 363 budgeted officer positions and currently stands at 348 sworn officers. In addition, another wave of hiring could occur if Measure A - a 3/4-cent tax increase on the ballot next Tuesday - passes. It could lead to the hiring of 120 additional officers.
"This was very informational tonight," said Gwen Johansen, a 2000 Lincoln High School graduate who is considering a law enforcement career.
"I've wanted to be a police officer since I was 7," Lloyd Woods Jr., 24, said. "Now is the time to pursue this."
Jones and several other SPD officers talked individually with workshop attendees after a 40-minute presentation. They also presented information on getting involved through the department's Junior Cadet and Sentinel programs.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - More often than not our parents' estates and financial affairs are not in order. Last week we explored how the kids' involvement in the family's estate planning can be beneficial.
Of course, on the illness or death of a parent, the lack of a current will or trust and inadequate life and medical insurance comes as a surprise - after it's too late to do anything about it.
Everything Is Handled
Resist the temptation to assume "everything is handled," and explore with your parents or family the basics of what needs to be done to protect the family from financial disaster, severe tax consequences, nursing home costs, ineligibility for Medicaid or Medi-Cal and other governmental assistance, and family disagreements after a parent's illness or death.
There's no magic list of what you need to know to avoid surprises in your parents' financial future, but here are a few things to consider discussing with Mom and Pop:
Health care Directive
An easy transition is to ask your parents whether they have a signed Power of Attorney for Advance Health Care or Health-Care Directive. Either of these documents ensures that proper health care decisions are made in case they become incapacitated (call or e-mail to email@example.com for a free form).
We should all sign one of these forms. I can't tell you how important that is - unless you don't mind someone else making life or death decisions on your behalf.
Questions, Questions
• Is there a will or trust? Is it current? Has anyone died since the last will or has there been a divorce or have properties been sold? Still want the same executor to administer your estate? Have your parents' assets appreciated such that a trust might be advantageous? It doesn't take much to be able to benefit from a simple trust and avoid probate and taxes. Remember it doesn't do any good to lament after the fact how much of the estate went to the government. At the very least, encourage your parents to meet with an estate-planning lawyer, preferably a certified specialist. Like Kelley Carroll in our office.
• If your parents (or you!) don't have a will, call a lawyer today (not tomorrow). If you have minimal assets and no children and want to save money, consider making a will yourself by checking out www.nolo.com or go to an office supply store. Don't just talk about it.
• Where are your parents' estate-planning documents kept? Who has the key to the safe deposit box? Is there a safe deposit box? Where's the original will or trust?
• What type of life and medical insurance do your parents have? Does it cover long-term care? Nursing home? In-home coverage? What are the limits? Are the premiums current and are your parents mentally and financially capable of continuing the payments? Should late payment/cancellation notices also be sent to a family member?
Asset Protection
• What assets do your parents have, including cash, home, investment properties, investments, IRAs, Social Security, banking and savings accounts, retirement plans, and stocks and bonds? Who is on title to the real estate? Have you taken advantage of the California law that allows husband and wife marital properties to be held as "community property with right of survivorship," which can avoid probate and save on income taxes? I bet most of you haven't and it's a very simple process. (Call or e-mail and we will send you a Law Review on what needs to be done. No questions asked.)
• Is there a complete list of business, financial and family records, with addresses, account executives, home care providers, accountants, estate planning lawyer, deeds, bank account numbers, stocks, promissory notes, insurance policies, Veteran's benefits, retirement plans, health records, and a home inventory? (Call or e-mail for a free asset list form.)
• Are the beneficiaries on life insurance policies and 401(k) plans up to date? You would be surprised how many ex-spouses remain on policies.
• Are your parents still driving and has anyone evaluated their driving skills? An unfortunate, under-insured accident is a good way to lose everything. What are their auto policy limits? Get more than the minimum. Consider an umbrella policy for additional coverage - generally not that expensive - especially if they have assets.
• Do your parents have enough income for their support or will assets have to be sold? Can steps be taken today to qualify for Medicaid (or Medi-Cal, as we call it here in California)? I can't tell you how important that is. Ask my wife's family. Tax-wise, real estate transfers are perfectly legal but must be done timely and properly to qualify for governmental exemptions or assistance. Often three years before death.
Check the Basics
• Have you or your parents considered charitable trusts and other philanthropic plans that allow you to give to your favorite charity (with write-offs) rather than to the government - and still provide for the kids? The proverbial "win-win" - even if your estate is modest. A donation in our small community goes a long way.
It's a lot easier to talk to parents about grandchildren then it is to delve into financial planning, but maybe they will surprise you. It can be reassuring for the entire family. At least make sure the basics are covered.
By the way, have you taken care of YOUR estate planning? If you don't have a will, you deserve the consequences.
How would you feel if your assets went to your ex-spouse, to Uncle Sam or completely contrary to your wishes? (And don't answer that question with: "After I'm dead, I don't care.")
Next week we will discuss how to improve our communities with charitable giving and explore some of the steps that can be taken to protect the family's assets.

Shortly after the final horn sounds Monday and Tuesday and two new college basketball champions are crowned, one of the greatest traditions in sports will commence.
The tradition of cutting down the nets has its roots in the famed Indiana state high school tournament, the same event that provided the real-life story behind the movie "Hoosiers."
As far back as the 1920s, high school teams in Indiana celebrated championships by cutting down the nets. Everett Case, a coaching legend in the Hoosier state, was part of those ceremonies four times.
In 1947, as the head coach at North Carolina State, Case introduced net-cutting to college basketball. After his team won the Southern Conference title, Case wanted a souvenir. With no ladder available, the players hoisted Case onto their shoulders and he cut the net while cradled in their grasp.
The Bay Area hasn't had a men's team win the national championship since Cal beat Jerry West and West Virginia in 1959, and there was no net-cutting that time.
"We never did it," said Darrall Imhoff, the center on that Cal team. "That was an East Coast thing."
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer has cut down a few nets in her time. Her teams have won 21 conference titles, two national championships and an Olympic gold medal.
"When we go into a gym where there is net-cutting involved," she said, "I tell our team right away: 'Look at those nets. Do whatever it takes to get those nets because that's what we're here for.' "
Visualization wasn't enough for former North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano; he preferred application.
According to a recent documentary, once a year, Valvano would conduct a practice with no basketballs -- nothing except scissors. His players would practice cutting down the nets. The Wolfpack put the preparation to good use in 1983 in beating Houston for the national title in one of the greatest upsets in tournament history.
VanDerveer won her first national championship with Stanford in 1990.
"To cut down those nets for a national championship was really special because you never know if you're ever going to get to do it again," VanDerveer said. "Your adrenaline is going for hours. I didn't sleep that night."
She did it again in 1992.
There's an etiquette to cutting the nets, explained the Warriors' Brandon Rush, whose Kansas team won the title in 2008. Each player takes one snippet, then gives way to the next player. Freshmen go first, seniors last and, finally, the head coach.
"I was nervous," Rush said of his turn atop the ladder. "There's a big spotlight on you, and I was fearing I might trip and people would laugh. It went well. I gave a little wave, stood there for a few seconds, then got down before I fell."
Rush gave his championship souvenir to his grandmother, who framed it and displays it at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
When Saint Mary's won its first WCC tournament in 2010, the Gaels had no idea how to proceed.
"No one was really sure what to do," coach Randy Bennett recalled. Not surprisingly, star center and larger-than-life personality Omar Samhan showed the way.
"Omar acted like he knew what he was doing," Bennett said. "I think Omar liked being on that ladder more than me. He was a little more comfortable with the spotlight."
The Gaels knew the drill by 2012, when they again won the WCC title. Bennett said he has the nets from that celebration. And 2010 nets?
"I think Omar might have one of them," he said.
VanDerveer usually hands them over to her seniors.
"I'm not a collector of stuff, " she said. "I have some little clips of nets -- I couldn't tell you where they are from — in my jewelry box."
One of the most famous net-cutting ceremonies took place in 1966, after Texas Western became the first team to win the NCAA championship with an all-black starting five. The Miners defeated Kentucky, but curiously were unable to locate a ladder.
"We laugh about it now: Whenever a team wins the title, there's always a ladder right there," said Nevil Shed, a starting forward for Texas Western. "But for us, there was nothing. No chair. No table. Nothing. You could look at that in a positive way" -- an innocent mistake -- "or the not-very-correct way."
The Miners were determined to mark the occasion in the traditional way. So Shed, 6-foot-8, hoisted guard Willie Worsley onto his shoulders, and Worsley began cutting. (The scene was captured in a photo that can be viewed off a Google search.).
"I don't remember anyone getting to keep a piece of it," Shed said. "At the time, we didn't think about the history behind the nets. We were just a bunch of kids.
"But now you look back, and those nets symbolized bridging the gap."
The tournament's surge in popularity beginning in the 1960s made net-cutting a bigger focal point of the postgame. The men's ceremony Monday in Atlanta's Georgia Dome will have few surprises. It will be a precise, organized affair dominated by the NCAA logo. Spontaneous celebration will give way to staged formality.
With CBS's carefully placed cameras capturing every move, the coach and players will climb an official, customized NCAA championship ladder to snip pieces of the net, using a pair of official NCAA scissors.
Still, it's the dream of every player and coach to be part of it.
"I just know it would be nice to cut 'em down on the last day," Bennett said. "That's the tough net to get."

Like any over-amped "Walking Dead" freak, I've been dying to get back to Woodbury to see what's going to go down after all hell broke loose in the Governor's burg during the midseason finale. And now, FINALLY, we resume.
And we resume right where we left off -- with Merle and Daryl locked in a "fight-to-the-death" brawl in the Woodbury thunderdome as the bloodthirsty Governor and his minions egg them on. Somehow, we don't think this is the kind of reunion the Dixon brothers had in mind.
The Governor promises to let the winner go free, but will the brothers really duke it out? It appears so as Merle (of course) strikes the first vicious blow. Is he that cold? That heartless? For a few moments we are led to believe that he is. Then this:
"Follow my lead, little brother," Merle whispers over a fallen Daryl. "We're going to get out of this right now."
Moments after a couple of leashed zombies are brought into the ring (just to make things more interesting), Rick and the gang start firing upon the scene. There's smoke, chaos and bloodshed, and amid it all, the brothers escape with Rick's little band of warriors.
But do they really want Merle around for the ride? When they rendezvous with Glenn and Michonne in the woods, there is instant tension. After all, they both have serious issues with the demented red neck.
Merle informs them that Andrea and the Governor have become a couple ("They're as snug as two little bugs"). No one, except Daryl, wants this bastard around. He's too combustible, too self-centered. Merle, as he is wont to do, gets all mouthy and finally Rick just knocks him out cold.
Daryl argues that his bro should be allowed to tag along ("He ain't a rapist"). Rick resists, but Daryl holds firm. "No him, no me," he says and he breaks off with Merle, despite Rick's passionate protests. Our group has just lost a very valuable member.
In the meantime, Glenn spots a zombie and beats the hell out of him, violently bashing in his head until it's zombie pulp. Clearly, he's taking out his aggression for what happened when he and Maggie were mentally and physically tortured by the Governor. And he's incensed that Rick didn't kill the Gov when he had a chance.
"You don't know what he did to her!" he snarls. " ... I'm done!"
Meanwhile, back at the prison, the new arrivals -- led by Tyreese -- are trying to ingratiate themselves to Herschel and the others. But Hershel warns him not to get too comfortable. That they've got a tightly knit group and Rick isn't open to outsiders.
This prompts a member of Team Tyreese to take the leader aside and suggest they attempt an overthrow before Rick gets back. He wants to take out the kid (Carl) and the woman (Carol). He thinks this will be easy pickings. But the sensitive Tyreese is against this plan. "These are decent people," he says.
And then there's the scene in Woodbury, where many of the citizens have become unruly. They want out. They don't think this place is a safe haven anymore. In the meantime, the barricade has been compromised and a few walkers have streamed through. Andrea helps to vanquish them, but in the process, a citizen has been bitten and is writhing on the street in pain.
Some of the townspeople plead for Andrea (or anyone) to help the man. But before anyone can make a move, the Governor bolts out of his house with a gun and shoots him dead. Clearly, the unhinged Governor isn't bothering to hide it anymore. He's wearing his evil cold-heartedness on his sleeve.
And Andrea is wondering who this man is. The man with whom she shared a bed. She's stunned to learn that he had Glenn and Maggie here, and even more stunned that the Governor and his men were shooting at her friends. Why did you keep this from me, she wonders.
"You're just a visitor here. Just passing through," he replies.
"Don't push me away," she insists.
But Andrea remains in Woodbury, much to our chagrin. When will this woman come to her senses?
Later, back at the prison, Rick and the troops reunite with the others and Hershel commends Rick on a job well done. ("You came through like always."). Hershel also tends to Glenn's injuries and notices there's something different about the young man. An edge. An anger. He broaches the subject with his daughter Maggie.
"You two seem to be holding something back. Don't disappear on me," he urges.
Meanwhile, it's starting to set in with everyone that Daryl's departure has left the group weaker and more vulnerable. Hershel tells Rick about the Team Tyreese and suggests that they could use some reinforcements, especially if the Governor and his people raid the prison. But Rick, who has a shaky grip on sanity these days, isn't buying it. Yes, he goes to meet the newcomers, but when Tyreese holds out his hand, Rick declines to shake it. "I can't be responsible" for you people, Rick tells him.
"If you turn us out, you are responsible," Tyreese replies.
Hershel urges Rick to reconsider, but the sheriff is adamant. And very much on edge. Herschel tells Rick that he's making a mistake -- that he needs to start "giving people a chance." But this just makes Rick more edgy and jumpy. Suddenly, he gazes upward and the ghostly image of a woman appears from on high. Lori?
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?" Rick blurts, growing more agitated with each word. "I can't help you! Get out!"
And with that, Rick pulls his gun and Tyreese and his friends quickly scatter. Sadly, our hero appears to be descending into madness and there's nothing anyone can do to pull him back.

HAMMOND, La. – Southeastern Louisiana used a decisive rally late in the second half to topple the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team, 67-53, on Saturday at the University Center. Johnathan Jordan had career highs with 24 points and 10 rebounds for his third career double-double in the loss for the Islanders.
Will Nelson added a double-double of his own with 12 points and 10 boards for the Islanders, but no other player for the visitors had more points than Cole Martinez' six in the contest. The Islanders had just nine turnovers in the game, but forced just eight for the Lions.
The Lions got a double-double of their own from Roosevelt Johnson (18 points, 13 rebounds), while Brandon Fortenberry added 18 points for the home squad. The Lions piled up 27 points at the free-throw line and took 43 free throws to the Islanders' 22. Southeastern won the battle of the boards, 42-39.
Early on, both teams started slow from the field, as the Islanders defense held Southeastern to 0-for-5 shooting with three turnovers in opening an early 5-1 lead. The visitors pushed it to 7-3, but the Lions responded with an 11-0 run to open a seven-point lead. Onochie Ochie did much of the damage with a triple and another jumper helping to lead the way for the home squad in a 14-7 advantage.
After the two teams traded buckets, the Lions put together another strong stretch, capping off a 9-2 run with a Johnson jumper to make it 25-11. The Islanders responded with two quick baskets to get the deficit back to 10, but both offenses hit the skids at that point, and the Lions went to the locker room with a 26-16 lead.
Out of the break, the Islanders came out hot, using a 22-9 run to garner a 38-35 lead. Dale Francis got it going early in the stanza with a couple long jumpers, but the remainder of the damage was done by the trio of Jordan, Nelson and Nate Maxey. Jordan scored 11 points and had two assists during the rally, while Nelson scored four and Maxey added three.
The visitors pushed the lead to 40-36, but Southeastern responded with a 15-0 run on the strength of the offensive glass. Johnson had three big offensive rebounds and the Lions scored 11 second-chance points in the rally. Jordan snapped the run with a free throw, but the home squad continued its momentum, pushing the lead to 55-41. From there on, the Lions were able to finish things off at the foul line en route to the 14-point victory.
The Islanders now return to Corpus Christi for a stretch in which they will play seven out of nine games at home. The homestand tips off with a game against Sam Houston State on campus at the Dugan Wellness Center on Saturday, Feb. 2. Game time is set for 1 p.m. and the contest will be carried live on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX with Yannis Koutroupis on the call.

Modern-day Easter is derived from both Judeo-Christian and Pagan traditions. Both Christians and Pagans have celebrated death and resurrection themes. Most religious historians believe that many elements of the Christian observance of Easter were derived from earlier Pagan celebrations.
Origins of the name "Easter":
The name "Easter" originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. A Christian scholar, The Venerable Bede, said that Easter was named after Eostre, the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, she was also known as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos. Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: "eastre."
There has also been a second suggestion for the derivative of the name. The name given by the Frankish church to Jesus' resurrection festival included the Latin word "alba" which means "white." (This was a reference to the white robes that were worn during the festival.) "Alba" also has a second meaning: "sunrise." When the name of the festival was translated into German, the "sunrise" meaning was selected in error. This became "ostern" in German. Ostern has been proposed as the origin of the word "Easter".
The Pagan Origins of Easter
Most Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area had a major seasonal day of religious celebration at or following the Spring Equinox. Many religious historians believe that the death and resurrection legends were first associated with Attis many centuries before the birth of Jesus. Attis was the fictional consort of Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess. Attis was believed to have died and been resurrected each year during the period March 22 to March 25. Historians say the legends were later simply grafted onto stories of Jesus' life in order to make Christian theology more acceptable to Pagans.
Others suggest that many of the events in Jesus' life that were recorded in the gospels were lifted from the life of Krishna, the second person of the Hindu Trinity.
Ancient Christians had an alternative explanation; they claimed that Satan had created counterfeit deities in advance of the coming of Christ in order to confuse humanity. Modern-day Christians generally regard the Attis legend as being a Pagan myth of little value. They regard Jesus' death and resurrection account as being true and unrelated to the earlier tradition.
Wiccans and other modern-day Neopagans continue to celebrate the Spring Equinox as one of their 8 yearly Sabbats (holy days of celebration). Near the Mediterranean, this is a time of sprouting of the summer's crop. Farther north, it is the time for seeding. Their rituals at the Spring Equinox are related primarily to the fertility of the crops and to the balance of the day and night times. Where Wiccans can safely celebrate the Sabbat out of doors without threat of religious persecution, they often incorporate a bonfire into their rituals, jumping over the dying embers is believed to assure fertility of people and crops.
The Christian Origins of Easter
The life of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospels includes the Christian version of Easter. It is the annual festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the principal feast of the Christian year. Easter is celebrated on a Sunday, on varying dates anywhere from March 22 to April 25. It is also called a movable feast.
Connected with the observance of Easter are the 40-day penitential season of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding at midnight on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday; Holy Week, commencing on Palm Sunday, including Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion, and terminating with Holy Saturday; and the Octave of Easter, extending from Easter Sunday through the following Sunday.
Most scholars emphasize the original relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from which is derived Pasch, another name for Easter. The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets.
The History of Easter
According to the New Testament, Christ was crucified on the eve of Passover and shortly afterward rose from the dead. The Easter festival commemorates Christ's resurrection. In time, a large difference over the date of the Easter festival arose among Christians. Those of Jewish origin celebrated the resurrection immediately following the Passover festival, which, according to their Babylonian lunar calendar, fell on the evening of the full moon. By their reckoning, Easter, from year to year, fell on different days of the week.
Christians, however, wished to commemorate the resurrection on the first day of the week, Sunday. By their method, Easter occurred on the same day of the week, but from year to year it fell on different dates. An important historical result of the difference in reckoning the date of Easter was that the Christian churches in the East, which were closer to the birthplace of the new religion and in which old traditions were strong, observed Easter according to the date of the Passover festival. The churches of the West, descendants of Greco-Roman civilization, celebrated Easter on a Sunday.
Ways of fixing the date of the feast tried by the church proved unsatisfactory, and Easter was celebrated on different dates in different parts of the world. Because the Easter holiday affects a varied number of secular affairs in many countries, it has long been urged as a matter of convenience that the movable dates of the festival be either narrowed in range or replaced by a fixed date in the manner of Christmas. In 1923 the problem was referred to the Holy See, which has found no canonical objection to the proposed reform. In 1928 the British Parliament enacted a measure allowing the Church of England to commemorate Easter on the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April.
Despite these steps toward reform, Easter continues to be a movable feast.

- A's manager Bob Melvin concerned about Jarrod Parker
- ALDS: Sonny Gray as Game 5 starter?
- A's shortstop Jed Lowrie still looking for first ALDS hit
DETROIT — The A's have struck out 41 times in the first three games of the American League Division Series.
That's more than 13 strikeouts per game. That's a figure that would turn most organizations apoplectic.
The A's, however, don't seem to care much about that. A strikeout with a man on first base is better than a double play, they reason, and they've yet to ground into a double play.
The Tigers have struck out 20 times, a relatively robust number, but also have grounded into three double plays.
A's left fielder Yoenis Cespedes is hardly the worst offender. He has struck out four times, but has five hits, including a triple and a homer. And he has a good perspective on the current run of strikeouts.
"If you're not swinging, you can't strike out,'' Cespedes said. "And they like us to swing.''
Right fielder Josh Reddick, who has four strikeouts to go with a pair of singles, and a solo homer, says the strikeouts are just part of the Oakland offense.
"We're a team that strikes out a lot, but we have the ability to hit the long ball quite a bit,'' Reddick said. "It seems to work out with a lot of swings and misses and hitting the long ball.
"We stick to that and as long as we work on our routines, everything works out fine for us.''
The current king of the K is first baseman Brandon Moss. The cleanup hitter has struck out three times in each game but he also has a walk and a single and has scored a couple of runs.
"When I strike out, I strike out in bunches,'' Moss said. "But the important thing is I'm staying with my approach. I'm looking to get one pitch I can handle and hit it hard. It's tougher with the Tigers because of all the good starting pitching they have, but my approach has to remain the same.
"If I strike out, that's just me.''
Reddick said he and Moss "talk about it all the time.''
"Moss tries to hit home runs every at-bat,'' Reddick said. "He has no problem with that, because when he is trying to hit singles, he's still going to strike out, so he might as well have fun out there and try to hit one out of the ballpark.''
Moss hit 30 regular season homers as a platoon player in addition to the one he hit Monday.

Eight Currents
Joseph Barbaccia creates organically-shaped sculptures covered with sequins. These decorative objects begin with a vision, followed by a quick sketch with notes. Next, he draws various three-dimensional views of the imagined object in color which he then models in plasticine, resulting in small maquettes of the envisioned works. Once Barbaccia is happy with a design, he begins to carve the polystyrene form that becomes the foundation for the final sculpture. The polystyrene base takes three to four days of concerted effort to construct. The artist employs hand saws, knives and sanding to produce the final shape which he finishes with a thick coat of white gesso followed by a substantial layer of colored latex paint. The thick paint helps to hold the pins tight as well as assists with the placement of the sequins. Pinning the sequins to the underlying sculptural form is done piecemeal. Barbaccia comments that application of the sequins takes, by far, the longest amount of time, but can be achieved in intervals of as short as ten minutes, so he can work on the sculpture as his schedule permits. Titles for the works emerge after he has a vision and are sometimes directly related to the form of the piece. If there is no direct reference discernable to suggest a title, then Barbaccia chooses it from words and phrases collected on his studio wall.
Barbaccia sees his artwork as a straightforward product of visions. He comments, "There are no hidden agendas or secret meanings. What you see is essentially what you get. They are created neither as a puzzle to be solved, nor a complex entity to be taken apart and analyzed. They are simply a product of the universe at play, filtered through a human being, to be enjoyed by all." He considers there to be as many valid definitions of his creations as there are viewers, and he feels that all interpretations are equally legitimate. Barbaccia believes that the various interpretations of his work inform him as an artist and contribute to his creative process. He states, "The acceptance of the indefinable makes the impossible, possible."

Get Ready For A Wild Week, 500 Fans.
...OK, here's the thing. Every May, we go into the month with an idea of how we think things are going to go leading up to the Indy 500. Yet every single May--every single one!--we are surprised, even astounded. In 2005, it was Felipe Giaffone getting a call on Bump Day at Toys R' Us to knock Arie Luyendyk, Jr. out of the field. In 2011, it was Patrick Carpentier jumping in to try to qualify a snakebit Dragon Racing entry. We think we know, be we casual fan, intrepid blogger, or Robin Miller, but until the gun sounds, the only certainty is uncertainty. How crazy is this week about to get? Let's check:
-First, we have to start with the anticipated press release announcing Fan Force United will be fielding a Lotus for Jean Alesi. If you had to ask me which team I thought would be a part of Alesi's effort this month, Fan Force United would have ranked right around Hemelgarn Racing or PDM Racing. That's not a knock on FFU at all, especially with guys like Tyce Carlson and Greg Beck on their side, but it is that wholly unexpected. At times, all you can say is "best of luck!" and see how things shake out.
-Second, we have today's Great Panther/DRR Announcement, which sounds like far more than a tech alliance at this point. When you use the phrase "working together like never before" to cite the level of your involvement, it's expected that the precise nature of this team-up is pretty deep stuff. In other words, don't think date night, think common-law marriage.
-Along those lines, there's the nature of the 15th Chevy engine, which is confirmed as being reserved for an existing team. Ed Carpenter's team doesn't seem particularly interested in running a second car (which I can understand), so that leaves us with teams such as KV Racing, Panther/Reinbold/Wonder Twin Racing, and a very remote Andretti team-up possibility as potential landing spots for the final engine seemingly in play for this year's 500. Either it sits unused unless needed on Bump Day due to attrition, or one last great deal is in the works.
-The last article of news is the potential big mindblower, and that's the possibility of us seeing a certain Honda driver replaced before Indianapolis. If it happens, the only thing I can say is the starting lineup of the 500 will have an unexpected face in it, given how the offseason developed.
OK, enough rumor mongering. Gird yourselves, because a lot is going to happen before opening weekend.
(Congrats to reader Steve Minor, winner of our two tickets to the Indy 500. We chose the winner at random, but I have to say, hearing how Steve is planning on taking his dad (home after a lengthy military deployment overseas), I hope they have an amazing time! As always thanks to everyone for reading!)

....aaaand there goes Dragon terminating the Lotus deal. The missing piece falls into place?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 7, 2012 at 10:25 AM
And now, Cavin says that Dragon is dumping Lotus!!! The calamity continues!ReplyDelete
The Alesi deal is certainly strange. With experienced Indycar teams dropping the engine, it seems like Lotus is buying him a ride on amusement park roller coaster. Does it seem odd to anyone else?ReplyDeleteReplies
I've gone back and forth on it. But he's been wanting to run Indy for a good long while now, so it isn't as if it's totally spur-of-the-moment. He's their brand ambassador, so for whatever reason, he's got the backing to do it.Delete
- Calvin ReynoldsMay 7, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Nice work as always Zach.ReplyDelete
I'm happy to see the 500 tickets going to a member of the military. It's a small thanks for service. Well done on your part!
I have a lot of concern for Jean Alesi. (first oval and Indy at that!)However, he is a vastly experienced driver and I hope he does well.
The Honda rumour is causing me some consternation. I don't like to see any veteran driver pushed out of their seat simply because a bigger cheque floated a teams way.
There's been far too much of that in previous years. No ever said racing was fair, it's just the thing I hate most about the sport I love.
So, I take it the Dragon leaving Lotus for Chevy breaking news today is still separate from the possibility of a Honda driver being replaced?ReplyDelete
My head is spinning!Replies
Yep, still separate.Delete
Pretty wild stuff out there, with more to come this week.
- AnonymousMay 7, 2012 at 6:59 PM
So a Honda driver could be replaced and we get no link or explanation as to where you heard the rumor? Not fair. The only "mind blowing" Honda drops (in my opinion) would be Dixon or Dario.ReplyDelete
Steve KReplies
Hi Steve,Delete
I will provide more details when I can. I hate doing the deep rumor mill stuff for exactly that reason, but this is pretty solid stuff. If it happens (and it's still an if at this point), it isn't on the level of Dixon or Dario, but still will have a big impact on the entry list.
It does sound like the Honda driver situation may have worked itself out. Less drama that way, that's for sure.ReplyDelete

Imagine trying to fill up a glass of water, and the more you pour in, the emptier the glass gets. It sounds far-fetched, but if you try this same experiment with electrons instead of water, it's actually quite possible.
For scientists, the counter-intuitive behavior of electrons prompted an important question: Is there a level in a sea of electrons, and can one measure it?
The answer is yes, according to a team of researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Led by graduate student Kayoung Lee and associate professor Emanuel Tutuc, both in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the researchers developed a novel device structure that can measure the level of electrons in graphene bilayers. Discovered in 2004, graphene is a super strong, single-atom-thick carbon material, with properties that make it a promising material for

Nature Biotechnology recognized Georgiou for his output of U.S. and European patents issued and papers of translational interest published.

Trevor Tucker and Brendan Schwendeman put on a show Friday night at Death Valley Memorial Stadium, before the Parkersburg South Patriots finally prevailed 47-35 in the football season opener for both teams. For the Ripley Vikings of first year coach Dave Tennant, Tucker ran for 249 yards and passed for 127, scoring on a four-yard run and connecting with Kade Harrison for TD passes of one and 29 yards. Brother Nathan Tucker added two touchdown runs of his own. But it was a career night for Schwendeman that was the Viking's undoing and spoiled the opener for Tennant as Ripley head coach. Schwendeman rampaged for 410 yards on just 18 carried in the game, scoring TDs on runs of 64, 43, 81,65 and 54 yards. Ripley actually led 18-7 at the half, before the Schwendeman-Tucker second half fireworks commenced. Viking place-kicker Easton Berry tied the game at 21-21 with a 22-yard field goal with 4:04 left in the third quarter before the Patriots grabbed the momentum for good.

In a large gesture to show appreciation, three organizations will hold an event for soldiers of the West Virginia Army National Guard 1092nd Engineer Battalion and the 104th Aviation Unit and their families.
The Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Parkersburg Art Center and the Actors Guild of Parkersburg have teamed up for the Fairy Tale Ball from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the center.
While the goal of the event is to honor the returning soldiers, the Fairy Tale Ball is open to everyone. Admission is free for members of the 1092nd, the 104th and their families while community members are invited with ticket prices set at $20 for individuals, $30 for couples, $10 for children and $50 for families (two adults and as many children are in the family).
Tickets can be purchased by calling (304) 485-7311.
"We have, in the past, had the Red, White and Blue Ball and this year we wanted to do something different so we started talking to our neighbors at the art center and came up with the Fairy Tale Ball," said Sharon Kesselring, financial development director for the local Red Cross. "While the name 'Red, White and Blue' would be very appropriate for what this event is about, we wanted it to have a little fantasy feeling because it is not a dream and the (soldiers) really are home."
The first hour of the ball is for all age groups with the children and adults separating at 8 p.m. for individual activities,with children in the basement level and adults taking over the rest of the center, according to Robin White with the Actors Guild.
Fact Box
About the Ball
The Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, the Parkersburg Art Center and the Actors Guild of Parkersburg have teamed up to thank soldiers and families of the West Virginia Army National Guard 1092nd Engineer Battalion and the 104th Aviation Unit
The Fairy Tale Ball will be from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the art center and will include crafts and games for children as well as food and activities for adults.
Members of the 1092nd and 104th and their families will be admitted to the event for free while members of the community can purchase tickets to attend.
"We're providing the venue and activities in the lower level for the children," said Hayhurst. "We will have food and drinks for the kids down there along with crafts they can take home, games and, I think, there will even be karaoke."
For the adults there will be refreshments, casino games, a silent auction and more.
"We want to give parents time to do adult activities, but if the kids and parents want to stay together, that is fine," White said.
Throughout the night, those in attendance will have the opportunity to write messages to the members of the 1092nd and 104th as well as their families on a graffiti wall.
"This wall will give the community a chance to show their appreciation for what the soldiers and their families go through," White said.
While the night will be a time for reflection, it is also meant to be a chance for the service members and their families to relax and have a good time.
"Everything is built on the fairy tale theme," Kesselring said. "The art center will be decorated with a fantasy look, members of the Actors Guild will be in costume and we encourage everyone who attends to dress in costume."
There will be a costume parade and a contest with a variety of prizes for the costumes that can include but are not limited to kings, queens, princesses and princes, pixies, gnomes, fairies, knights and more.
"This gives the community the opportunity to celebrate the soldiers' safe return," Kesselring said.

At a glance it might look like any other grocery store cheese section, but Murray's Cheese Shop, which opened in City Market Dillon in October, is cause for much celebration among both customers and employees.
A New York City landmark since 1940 and the oldest cheese shop in New York, Murray's has long been a cheese-lovers' destination. In 2009, it entered into an agreement with Kroger, the retail grocery chain of which City Market is a part, to help expand the specialty cheese program, according to merchandising director Paige Yim.
"Our guests from New York walk into the store and their jaws just drop," said "Cheesemaster" Jeff Johnson, who heads up the department in the Dillon store. Johnson, who worked there prior to Murray's involvement, said that just about everything across the board has improved.
"Prices have dropped dramatically due to the buying power of Murray's," he said. At the same time, he indicated that both the quality and selection are better. "Murray's really likes to work with sustainable dairies and farmstead cheeses," he said, "and a lot what we carry is hormone free."
Johnson is not the only one to notice the difference. "All my hardcore customers are just really excited to see the change," he said. "During mud season, sales were up 30 percent over last year. "
Murray's employees have to train for their red jackets. They learn how to taste and identify different cheeses, and how to cut them properly. They learn which cheeses are raw milk (unpasteurized) and safety standards like the fact that raw milk cheese must be aged for 60 days, Johnson said.
Afterward, they earn the title of "Cheese Monger" and work, clad in red jackets, under the direction of their Cheesemaster. The setup encourages a fun workplace environment - so much so that one Cheese Monger, Randy Williams of Leadville, was inspired to write a rap about his job.
The Dillon City Market store is No. 420 in the chain. Go figure. So it wasn't too much of a stretch for Williams, who goes by the name "Chiggy," to capitalize on the double meaning in his "420 cheese 'wrap,'" a rhyme about Murray's he put together and posted on YouTube.
The spelling of "wrap" came from Natasha Ciccolella, division cheese specialist for
King Soopers City Market. "That's Natasha's little touch," said Williams, who had planned to share the "mixtape" - a term that refers to a mash-up of borrowed beats or samples that a DJ or lyricist puts together to showcase his or her work - with Ciccolella alone during a scheduled walk-through.
"Rap is my hobby, something I do on the side," he said. But after he played it for her, "she sent it out and I was like 'Oh God.'"
Set to some "hyphy" beats from an underground DJ friend in the San Francisco Bay Area, Williams' "wrap" is not rap in the traditional sense. It doesn't cuss, or fixate on money, and that's how Williams prefers it. He used to cuss in his earlier raps, but found that people didn't want to hear it.
Instead, the "420 cheese 'wrap'" talks of cheese, of Murray's and yes - 420. It's not officially a marijuana reference, since that's the store's number, but Williams agreed it's a funny coincidence. He sees it as an opportunity to get his name out there while introducing 420 lovers to something he loves - cheese.
Between the fun monikers and shared love for cheese, the Murray's team is a passionate group. "I've got the best staff in the whole Kroger chain, I've been told," Johnson said. "Everybody's really happy and enthusiastic. We try to keep it fun."
To promote the Murray's brand - which Yim indicated includes a selection of more than 175 cheeses from around the world, from exclusive cheeses to Colorado Proud cheeses, jams, honeys and crackers - Johnson attended a three-day training at the flagship store in New York City last summer.
Throughout the year, Murray's cheese associates continue their education through daily tastings, cheesemaker visits, trainings and product workshops, Yim said.
Williams is the "demo guy," sharing cheese samples and interacting with customers. "Right now I'm really happy where I'm at," he said.
"I'm sure a lot of people are not aware of how vast the cheese universe is; it's just amazing," Johnson said. " I've even got a cheese tattoo on my arm."

Milk Packaging
Goal of the project was to come up with a dairy company name, logo, and packaging. I decided to use a modern milk company that promoted recycling by using glass milk bottles. I also wanted to incorporate vintage colors and feel in the design. Shown below is one bottle from each kind of milk and also a mini bottle of half and half.
Theme was '30 Years on the Open Road'. Challenge was to design a watch tin that was inspired by American travel of the 1950s and '60s. I designed icons based on vintage cars, american heritage and the sights of Route 66.Graphic Design, Icon Design, Packaging2014

Original Problem: Company needed a series of 3 award logos to align with a pre-existing medallion style logo that was a pair of wings enclosed in a badge.
Concept one revolves around the idea of elements. The wings of the existing logo were initially interpreted to represent air. From there, the individual award logos were assigned one of the remaining elements. Each logo uses three repeating shapes that create the icon itself. The shapes feel very organic and abstract, while still echoing the feel of the wings by coming to a sharp point and having a smooth curve. The rich, muted colors relate back to the assigned element and align with the prestigious tone of the awards.
Concept two was inspired by well-known symbols from the medieval time period. This family of logos was designed to stand on it's own, but relate back to the existing award through the use of the medallion. The exterior pattern on the medallion gives it the appearance of a coin. All the icons were created using equilateral triangles, strengthening and unify the three logos, while keeping them cohesive with the existing logo. Gold and silver were used in the logos to represent the importance and honor of the awards.
This work is purely concept work.

Camping has evolved from tents, fire, and minimal supplies to huge RV's and campers. The design of the kit was aimed at capturing this idea of luxury and sophistication. Its purpose is not to be kept in a tent out in the wilderness where weather and rough handling could ruin it, but rather in a warm cabin or comfortable camper. The logo design was meant to display the one factor that all these forms of camping have in common, the fire. The color and font choice derived from the idea of wood and fire. The word 'Iron' is spelled out with a flowy, elegant font representing the flames of a fire, while the word 'Ranger' is more rugged, sans-serif font representing the texture and feel of wood.Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging2012
Inspiration for the packaging expanded on the ideas of dual use and recycling. There is a lot of waste produced in package design. The goal was to create a design that offered the consumer the option to transform the package from a hanging package to a screwdriver holder that could be placed on a shelf. The screw packaging also acts as its own holder in the sense that the consumer could buy the box of screws, break the seal, and place it on the shelf for future use. Dual's packaging is not as aggressive and bold as its competition, making it more appealing to new customers.Branding, Graphic Design, Packaging2012

ANTIOCH -- The Deer Valley High football team's defense gave up just 133 total yards as the Wolverines ran away with a 35-7 win over Freedom in its Bay Valley Athletic League opener Friday night.
Deer Valley (6-0, 1-0 BVAL) began the game a bit sluggish, being forced to punt on two of its first three possessions. The Wolverines trailed 7-6 midway through the second quarter. That's when they went to more of a spread offense.
"We knew they could not handle our speed," said Deer Valley quarterback Nsimba Webster, who accounted for five touchdowns and threw for 188 yards.
The Wolverines scored on two consecutive drives to close the first half, the last one a six-play, 54 yard drive with under a minute left. They converted on a third-and-26 when Webster connected with Mike Hamilton on a 26-yard pass.
Webster hit Hamilton with a 15-yard TD pass two plays later, the second of three he threw in the game.
Webster also ran for two scores and had 139 rushing yards.
"(The win) means we're one step closer to our goal of 10-0," he said.
Hamilton had 106 receiving yards -- all in the first half.
Heralded running back Joe Mixon led the Falcons (2-4, 0-1) with 79 yards on 14 carries.
"Our defense deserves a lot of credit," Webster said. "We heard a lot this week 'What about Joe? But they were able to lock him up."

As a long-time resident of Lakeland, I am concerned with the negative publicity our great community has been getting in not only the local media but also in the national media as a result of the continued misdeeds and absence of leadership by our city's leaders. Our citizens are embarrassed.
I have known Howard Wiggs for more than 20 years and served with him for nine years on the Lakeland City Commission. He is one of the most sincere and hard-working individuals that I have had the pleasure to work with. Howard truly has the best interests of the citizens of Lakeland at heart.
Howard Wiggs will provide the leadership necessary to get our great city back on track. He will be a great mayor. I encourage citizens to vote for Howard Wiggs.

- Grammys 2013: Live coverage from the 55th annual awards show
Here are some of the early highlights and low points from the 55th annual Grammy Awards ceremony:
Swift start: Remember when Taylor Swift was country? Now, she's a full-on pop diva, ready to compete with Britney, Madonna and Gaga in the realm of glamour and glitz. It's definitely working for her. She opened the Grammy Awards ceremony in fine fashion, with a high-concept production of her hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" that was more Cirque Du Soleil than Country & Western.
Ed and Elton: Fellow Brits Ed Sheeran and Elton John are separated by a mere 44 years. (Elton is the older of the two, in case you're wondering.) Yet, they harmonized quite nicely on Sheeran's Grammy-nominated "The A Team." It wasn't, of course, as memorable as the Elton meets Eminem Grammy moment (2001), but it was definitely better than the Elton-Gaga collaboration (2010).
The What's She's Wearing Award: Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to spice up, well, any event she attends. She showed up to present an award dressed (barely) in a skimpy little number cut to reveal the entirety of her impressive right leg. It was fun to watch the faces in the crowd as J.Lo walked out — especially the men's faces. Anybody else notice how Jay-Z (sitting next to wife Beyonce) suddenly felt it was necessary to loosen his collar? Busted!
Keith Richards Looks Great: What? That wasn't Keith up there introducing Mumford & Sons? It was Johnny Depp? Never mind.
That's so 2012: Adele, who dominated last year's Grammy Awards by winning six trophies, managed to grab the spotlight again by winning best pop solo performance for "Fire to the Rain" over more timely and relevant offerings by Carly Rae Jepsen and Kelly Clarkson. Personally, I think that Grammy voters simply forget what year it was when marking their ballots.

[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida- August 2, 12:56am
"Well yesterday when he told me I was off the team I ended up crying for three hours," those words are from Greg Reid, the now former FSU corner-back who was dismissed from the football team Wednesday morning.
He spoke to WCTV Eyewitness News via Skype from a friend's house in Atlanta. He told us how he was overcome with emotion when he found out from Head Coach Jimbo Fisher that he would no longer play the sport he loves as a Seminole.
"I just talked to him, me and Coach Fisher have a strong relationship and I asked him if there was anything I could do, I'm in tears at this point, I'm balling, I never cry like that, but I was balling and I was just asking him if there was anything I could do and he said 'I don't know, I don't think so'," said Reid.
Reid's manager says Reid was kicked off the team after three strikes. He first failed a drug test two years ago. Then he was arrested last September when he was accused of lying to police about his scooter. Most recently, he was arrested in Georgia.He's charged with driving with a suspended license and possession of marijuana.
He described this latest arrest as an event that changed his life forever.
"I just had to learn my lesson, I was praying for something like this, not this big, to happen, but something to open my eyes," said Reid.
Now he's trying to learn from that lesson and live for the future. As for his football future, he knows he wants to finish school, but right now, he says he can't imagine playing for anyone but FSU.
"I can't even picture myself putting on another jersey, putting on some other cleats, I don't even picture myself running out another stadium besides Doak Campbell right now," said Reid.
His next court date is September 5th.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida- August 1, 2012- 6pm
The news has hit the FSU campus hard. Greg Reid has been dismissed from the football team.
In Eyewitness News' exclusive Skype interview with Greg Reid, he says, "I'm a little heartbroken, I guess. I wouldn't know no other way to put it, really."
Dalton Bisher is touring the school he's dreamed about attending since he was ten years old. The rising high school senior from Pennsylvania is disappointed to hear that he won't get to watch Greg Reid play football at FSU anymore.
Bisher says, "He works in the community really well. I know that. He really helps out. So, it will really hurt everybody, not just the football team, but everyone in the Florida area."
Reid's manager says that three incidents led to the dismissal: his failed drug test two years ago; Reid's arrest last September--when he was accused of lying to police who were trying to figure out who was riding his scooter; and his arrest in Georgia for a suspended license and possession of marijuana. The charges were dropped in the scooter incident.
FSU student William Brown says, "It seems like FSU players have been getting in so much trouble lately. I guess it was inevitable. He went through all of that, I mean, what else can you do?"
Reid says, "I tried to do the best thing I could for this program. Trouble just always find me. I kind of have to deal with it my way. I just really want to apologize and tell my fans I'm really sorry."
FSU student Bryan Lewis says, "I think that this is preposterous that Greg Reid got kicked off or dismissed. He did violate his team--and he deserves some consequences-- but it's just a lot; and we really need him this year."
Reid says, "It's not the end of my journey for this year. Just by playing with those boys for three years, I know Florida State has a strong program. It's going to come around sooner or later."
Tallahassee, Florida- August 1, 2012- 8:50am
Florida State Head Football Coach Jimbo Fisher announced Wednesday that Greg Reid has been dismissed from the FSU football team for a violation of team rules.
Reid's manager, Jon Fistel, tells WCTV that he received the news about Reid's dismissal yesterday and that the FSU athletic director told Reid that he would be dismissed from the team. Fistel said it wasn't a specific incident, but Reid's reputation that had him dismissed from the football team. Fistel said it was three instances that let up to this point: a failed drug test, an arrest in September 2011 related to a scooter theft (those charges were later dropped), and his latest arrest in Georgia on the evening of July 10th.
The FSU star cornerback was arrested by the Georgia State Patrol on the evening of July 10th. Reid was charged with driving with a suspended license and possession of marijuana and was taken to the Lowndes County Jail.
Stay with WCTV for more details.
