FOSTORIA - The coaches know they have good players. The question now is to figure out who goes where.
Fans will see the answer Saturday when the Fostoria Athletic Boosters East-West All-Star Game, one of the state's oldest such contest, kicks off at Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m.
"It's all about the experience, getting those kids out there and just playing physical football. ... These kids are physical football players [on both teams]," said Sandusky Perkins coach Jason Ziegler, who will guide the East. "That's how it's going to be. It's going to be fun coaching them."
"It's just an honor to get an opportunity to coach in this game, especially to coach our own guys," he said. "It's one of those deals where, after that last game (Perkins fell in the second round of the playoffs), you would think 'I'm not going to get an opportunity to coach these guys [again]; it's a sad day.' So for us to get the opportunity to coach and practice with them, get to play a game, it's truly a blessing. I'm very excited. We're going to do the best we can, have fun, but our guys are going to be ready to play."
All of the area's local players will suit up for the East's 29-man roster.
They include Columbian's Donovan Walker (DB, QB); St. Wendelin's Brad Buhrow (CB, QB); Upper Sandusky's Alex Kenner (S, TE) and Dermot Garza (LB, TE); Fostoria's Keegan Green (LB, FB); Carey's Matthew Holsinger (CB, QB), Anthony Blair (DE, OL) and Jacob Goble (OL); Hopewell-Loudon's Cody Malone (WR, RB), Weston Hill (DE, OT) and Adam Foos (DT, OG); and Seneca East's Josh Waggoner (LB, OG).
The West boasts a 36-man squad.
West assistant Ryan Hite - Van Buren coach Kevin Shoup will guide that team, but could not attend Monday's press conference - said the extra bodies will come in handy in regard to depth once the coaches figure out who goes where.
"We've got a lot of athletes. I think, looking on both sides of the squad, there's a lot of athletes. We probably don't have any of the huge, big linemen-type guys, but we're looking to utilize guys in the way they've worked before," Hite said. "If nothing else, we want to try to get everyone out there on the field and utilize everybody."
And if the coaches run into a quandary about who to put where, he said the players have already offered to help.
"We tried to put a little bit on paper. We put some things in our heads," Hite said. "We came up with a plan and took a little time during pictures [June 9] and said, 'Hey, this is what we think,' and then they told us we were wrong."
No matter who goes where, both teams plan to use the spread offense.
It boils down to familiarity. Many teams already utilize that system, so the coaches said it will help keep things simple.
But challenges still abound.
Ziegler said he only has about four players who actually saw a lot of time on the offensive line, so a few on the East will find themselves playing somewhat new positions while the offense tries to get the ball to a host of running backs and receivers.
"We're going to try to make it real easy and just say you're going to come off the ball, you're going to block the guy in front of you and you're going to drive him 10 yards down the road, and give it to your athletes and let them run. And we'll throw the ball around a little bit and have some fun," he said.
"It's going to be an experience," Ziegler said.
The West has linemen and receivers, but Hite said true running backs are a bit scarce and there's a big question mark when it comes to who will play quarterback.
However, he said the coaches and players should sort out the challenges over the next few days.
"We're excited. We just got to meet the guys on [June 9 for pictures] ..., we haven't had an opportunity to see them all pad up and see what they're able to do; some of them let us know what they think they're capable of," he said to laughter. "We'll be real excited to get them out there on the field and start playing together."
"Try to play to our strengths once we figure them out," Hite added
Keeping players excited won't be difficult, the coaches said.
"Competitive juices flow. That's the thing," Ziegler said. "We want to have fun, you want to go out there and have a good time, but in the grand scheme of things, you're competing. Kids compete, they want to win."

Jesse Olvera ('08) | Online Graduate Student
Teacher/coach for Abilene Christian Schools
B.A. from ACU in exercise and sports science with teacher certification
When he isn't on the field coaching for Abilene Christian Schools or in the classroom teaching, Jesse Olvera ('08) is at his computer earning his master's degree through ACU's online education program.
I needed a program that fit my life. I am very busy with teaching and coaching throughout the whole school year and the online option was the only route for me.
Jesse certainly wears many hats at ACS. In addition to his teaching duties, he currently serves as the head boys middle school basketball coach, head middle school football coach, defensive varsity football coach and head varsity baseball coach. In 2011, Jesse helped coach the varsity football team to the TAPPS 6-Man Division I football championship.
Online program offers flexibility
"I needed a program that fit my life. I am very busy with teaching and coaching throughout the whole school year and the online option was the only route for me," Jesse says.
In order to maintain success on the field and in his studies, Jesse needed a master's program that was flexible and simple. ACU proved to be a perfect fit. In fact, Jesse says if the online program was not an option, he would likely not be able to pursue his master's degree.
"I have been really pleased how simple ACU has made the program. The modules are very organized, instructions are clear and the videos really help," he says. "There is also always someone you can get a hold of if you need help. The material being taught is very challenging but it is explained very well and in great formats."
Jesse believes participation in the online program has taught him valuable skills in motivation, mediation and negotiation - undoubtedly skills pertinent to being a successful coach.
"An online program is unique because you get to learn at your own pace. Although there are deadlines, I felt I could pace myself. I never felt rushed or hurried," Jesse says.

Coins, Currency, and Medals
The Museum possesses one of the largest numismatic collections in the world. The collections include over 1 million objects, comprising coins, medals, decorations, and pieces of paper money. Among the many great rarities here are some of the world's oldest coins, created 2,700 years ago. But the collection also includes the latest innovations in electronic monetary exchange, as well as beads, wampum, and other commodities once used as money. A special strength lies in artifacts that illustrate the development of money and medals in the United States. The American section includes many rare and significant coins, such as two of three known examples of the world's most valuable coin, the 1933 double eagle $20 gold piece.

Emergency Money
- Description
- When the nation's banks closed during the Depression, Leiter's Pharmacy in Pismo Beach, California, issued this clamshell as change.
- The 1929 stock market crash triggered banking panics, as people rushed to withdraw their savings before they were lost. In March 1933, President Roosevelt ordered a four-day bank holiday to prevent further withdrawals. To compensate for the currency shortage, communities created emergency money, or scrip. This clamshell was signed as it changed hands and redeemed when cash became available again.

on October 5, 2012 - 12:14 AM
Backup Chad Rinehart is as ready as he ever will be to step into the starting lineup Sunday and face the formidable San Francisco 49ers defense.
Rinehart, who takes over for injured right guard Kraig Urbik, will be starting his 20th career game. Urbik has made 19 career starts.
"I've started as many games as Kraig, so I don't view myself as a backup, but unfortunately that's the spot I'm in," Rinehart said Thursday. "Going into this game starting, I feel comfortable with all the other guys."
Rinehart is a 6-foot-5, 321-pounder who was a third-round draft pick in 2008. Urbik, 6-5 and 324, was a third-round draft pick in 2009. Urbik beat out Rinehart for a starting spot each of the past two summers. However, Rinehart graded out pretty well in 12 starts last season. Due to injuries across the line, Rinehart played in 80 percent of the offensive snaps last year.
"I feel like I'm a starter," Rinehart said. "It's just unfortunate I'm on a team where there's five other guys who are very capable. I'm the odd man out right now.
"I feel when I've had a chance to play, I've been very productive," Rinehart said. "Kraig's been the same. I feel like we're two guys that are about the same mold. They've been giving him the starting nod. I guess the biggest thing I can do is not have any dropoff."
Urbik is out at least two weeks with a sprained ankle, so this is a big chance for Rinehart to show the Bills and other teams his value. The contracts of all three Bills guards - Andy Levitre, Urbik and Rinehart - are up after this season.
Rinehart had a rough start in last week's game vs. New England. He entered on a third-and-4 play in the first quarter when Urbik limped off. Rinehart was beaten for a sack up the middle by the Pats' Jermaine Cunningham.
"Unfortunately my first play was probably my worst play of the game," Rinehart said. "I came in on third down and looked up and saw Cunningham in there and should have been more ready to go, knowing he's a speed guy. He got the corner on me and got pressure on Fitz. I started three games against New England so I've definitely had a lot of experience with them. I felt as the game went on I got more comfortable."
Bills safety Jairus Byrd participated in practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday due to a hip pointer suffered in Sunday's game vs. the Patriots.
"He was limited, but he moved around pretty well," said coach Chan Gailey. "All indications are he'll play. Unless there's a setback between now and then he'll be fine."
Defensive tackle Spencer Johnson was ruled out with a sprained ankle. That means more snaps for Alex Carrington. Johnson and Carrington both have averaged 22 snaps a game through the first four weeks.
Receiver Ruvell Martin worked out and still has a chance to return from a high ankle sprain this week.
"He practiced two days, looked better today than yesterday," said Gailey. "I'm still real hopeful for him for Sunday."
Levitre starred at San Lorenzo Valley High School in Felton, Calif., about an hour south of San Francisco. He was a 49ers fan growing up and attended Niners and Giants baseball games at Candlestick Park. Levitre has about 60 friends and family coming to the game.
Donte Whitner has started 19 of 20 games at strong safety for the 49ers since leaving the Bills after the 2010 season and signing as a free agent in San Francisco.
Whitner talked to the San Francisco Chronicle Thursday about the mindset of the Bills' players in the wake of the blowout loss to the Patriots.
"Their backs are against the wall, knowing those guys," Whitner said. He went on to make the inarguable point that bad decisions in the football department hurt the team during his tenure.
"They're always going to want to go out there and work hard and want to do the right things, but sometimes it doesn't go that way," Whitner said. "Sometimes it's bigger than just the players on the football field. I say that because a lot of guys go out there and pour their heart into it and you never win."
"You never go out there and feel like you're in control of the football games, and I think that comes from coaching. I think that comes from upstairs, and I think that comes from just getting the right players in place. A lot of times when I was there, we struggled a lot. We wanted to win football games. We went out there and did everything they asked us to do and it didn't happen."
Gailey on Whitner: "He's done a great job out there. Donte's made a lot of plays for them. He's playing that deep secondary safety spot for 'em and getting involved in the run. He's playing well for 'em. There's no need to talk about what happened here."
Niners receiver Randy Moss, 35, was out of football in 2011 but is back as a part-time player. He is averaging 20 snaps a game and has eight receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown.
"Randy Moss can still stretch the field vertically, still plays the ball extremely well when it's in the air," Bills safety George Wilson said. "He catches just about everything they throw his way. He still remains productive in the manner they use him."
In 10 career games against the Bills, Moss has 59 catches for 826 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Editor's note: Journal Junction offers the public a forum to applaud successes, discuss issues, point out problems and review the events of the day in a constructive manner. Journal Junction comments should be limited to two to four sentences and be no longer than 80 words. Longer comments should be submitted as "Letters to the Editor," which is a separate forum. The Journal's classified ads section offers help to those with lost or found items. This is a sampling of comments received today. Any others, subject to editing, are published in the online Journal Junction at www.journal-news.net under opinions.
From Jefferson County:
With the presidential debates coming up soon, I think it would be nice if all the newspapers would publish the help-wanted ads from when George Bush took office and then when President Obama took office. Then everyone would see what a big change Bush did to the jobs. It wasn't Obama. It was Bush.
From Inwood:
I wonder where the Fox TV stations find the idiots like Dick Morris, Bunny Goldberg, Dennis Miller, Sean Hannity and more. The polls are rigged. They don't mean anything, or maybe they're just in fear.
From Martinsburg:
To the caller from Pikeside about Lil Wayne surpassing Elvis Presley's 100 hits: It's no different from back in the day when Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and all those well-known singers, whether they were rappers or country singers, did felony time and are still considered some of America's greatest. So, what's the difference? Is it because he's a rapper?
From Jefferson County:
I'm wondering, in amazement, why Sen. Snyder would spend more than $103,000 on a state Senate seat that he is trying to obtain - why not run on his record?
From Bunker Hill:
To Harpers Ferry: For your information, I was working on my computer and had the TV on in the background. Only a single-minded idiot would turn this political. Since when does politics have anything to do with technical difficulties?
From Inwood:
In regard to Bunker Hill who said Jesus wouldn't vote because 1) No elections 2) He's not real: Come on. Come on! You'll wish that you wouldn't have said that when he breaks through the clouds some day when God sends his Son back to get us. Shame on you!
From Shepherdstown:
Responding to the caller from Inwood: President Obama doesn't think that the American people are really stupid. He knows the American people are really stupid. After all, they did elect him, didn't they? He has nothing but contempt for the American people.
From Jefferson County:
In regard to the person wanting a clock repair: contact Hoffman Clock Repair at 304-725-9427.
From Jefferson County:
I would like to thank the two CNAs from Jefferson Memorial Hospital, Misty and Eunnis, for taking care of Mr. Eddie while he was there in his care. Thank you for doing a great job and taking the time to feed the gentleman. It is greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work, and others should learn from that.
From Kearneysville:
To the person from Inwood about the traffic tickets: I say "go for it" to the local law enforcement groups and keep giving out those traffic tickets, especially to the "nutcase" speeders around here who think they have to go 20 to 25 mph above the speed limit. They deserve whatever they get.
From Martinsburg:
So the latest from the Obama campaign is that they posted a graphic on their tumblr account that said, "Vote Like Your Lady Parts Depended On It." Apparently Democratic women don't care that they are reduced to nothing but "lady parts" in the collective opinion of Obama and crew, but, frankly, Republican women vote with their brains!
From Charles Town:
Wow! Mitt Romney questions why airplane windows cannot be opened. Oh yeah, he is bright enough to lead the free world!
From Shepherdstown:
The comment from Inwood in the Oct. 2 Journal Junction saying that the president has issued 923 executive orders in 40 months and suggesting other recent presidents have issued fewer is false, and blatantly so. It's an example of willful dissemination of a gross departure from anything truthful. It's so easy to fact-check the garbage.
From Martinsburg:
The math of how Romney can give everyone a 20 percent tax cut without bankrupting the government is just way too advanced for us little people to get. It's unfathomably complex, like string theory. You'd have to grasp that the universe is actually 11 coexistent dimensions, eight of which are where Romney shelters his wealth.
From Berkeley Springs:
To the Inwood caller complaining about police writing too many citations: I think they don't write enough. Ease up on the gas pedal. People are being killed by those who don't. By obeying traffic laws, you won't need to worry about a recession.
From Charles Town:
To the Inwood caller: If you want the police to "ease up" on the traffic tickets, you might want to ease up on the traffic violations.
From Martinsburg:
In Mitt's world, it is patriotic to send other people's sons and daughters to war, but for him to avoid the taxes necessary to pay for that war.
From Inwood:
Good news, Republicans. Only 31 more days left of pretending you tolerate Mitt Romney.
From Shenandoah Junction:
To Inwood, who demanded that police "ease up on the traffic tickets": Ease up on the gas pedal and obey traffic regulations and you don't have to worry about getting any tickets.
From Martinsburg:
So now we know why Republicans are so ON about voter fraud. They are the ones committing it. Alert government officials in Florida have so far found hundreds of bogus registrations. The RNC has paid millions to a Republican operative who was implicated in voter fraud in 2004 for throwing away Democratic registrations.
From Martinsburg:
Having read several Journal Junction comments that quote the Bible, I wonder if these same readers actually believe that Noah filled the ark with animals. These same readers must be fans of science fiction, too!

You sure know how to describe your feelings but try to use a little more proper language. Another thing is that you are being repetitive when saying that FFX is a great game, one of the best PS2 games etc etc. It sure is, you sure like it, but saying it over and over again accomplishes nothing but making the reader not wanting to play it. I can understand how you feel about the game, i felt this way when i first played it but try to express it in a more delicate way. Use different expressions and more specific words. It is a good try nevertheless and it should be encouraged. Keep it upHi everybody! My names Adam and i just joined! I love final fantasy X. It's my favorite game of all time! Possibly the best to come out on the ps2. I recently wrote a fan post/review on this awesome game. If you could please read it and tell me what you think about it. That would be awesome.

The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is set to be official in a little over a month. The amendment would have the Federal Reserve limit interchange fees on debit transactions, the fee a bank charges to process card transactions, to a mere 12 cents. It's a proposal they put out for comment late last year and it's drawn a lot of criticism. There are two alternative interchange fee standards:
- Fee standard based on the costs with a safe harbor at 7 cents per transaction and a cap at 12 cents per transaction.
- A standalone cap at 12 cents per transaction.
By the Fed's own calcluation, this is 70% lower than the 2009 average and the rule is set to take effect on July 21st, 2011. In addition to putting this 12 cent hard cap, the regulation would prohibit an issuer from restricting on which networks the debit transaction could be processed
What does this mean for consumers? If the banks are to be believed and 12 cents is below the cost of doing business, banks will severely curtail the use of debit cards or find some other way to charge for the convenience of debit cards, which generates $16 billion a year. If you rely on your debit card, you may find that there will be new fees or restrictions associated with it if the banks are to recover some of this revenue.{ 50 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Semiahmoo Green Wall by Green Over Grey
The unique design is nearly 3,000 square feet and consists of over 10,000 individual plants representing more than 120 unique species. It includes ground covers, large perennials, shrubs and small trees.
A green wall, also known as a living wall is a self-sufficient vertical garden that is attached to the exterior or interior of a building. The technology being used is soil-free, and the plants receive water and nutrients from within the vertical support instead of from the ground. It closely mimics how plants grow vertically in nature such as on cliffs, bluffs, tree branches or next to waterfalls.
"The large diversity of plant species chosen creates a balanced ecosystem that is an urban oasis for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds," says Patrick Poiraud, Principal at Green over Grey – Living Walls and Design, the Vancouver-based company designing and constructing the wall. "The living wall helps to insulate the building, purify the air and transforms the grey concrete into hundreds of shades of green."• Read More: Semiahmoo Green Wall by Green Over Grey at Contemporist (Images: Green Over Grey via Contemporist)

Will someone who is part of the 60% that is against "Obamacare" or "ACA" tell me why the President would make a healthcare law and then not let anyone sign up for it?
Because he is incompetent, arrogant, and believes that anything he says will magically happen just because he said so. He didn't intend Obamatax to be a disaster. But he had no idea hpow to make happen what he wanted to make happen.

Your 2:51 pm post, trying to compare a major economic disaster to an Apple ipad, or to infer that this is an original plan (with no adjustments from over a decade ago) is the fairy tale. As much as I like Romney, he is a moderate with fiscal responsibility and the initiative that you reference the Heritage Foundation putting forth, again....apples and oranges. Do you or I know definitively what is in this health care package? I don't, neither did Pelosi, remember? Why would anyone want a bill passed that hadn't been scrutinized and tweaked?

You probably won't find someone who has signed up. Reports about from various media outlets that people can't even log onto the web site. IN addition, what I'm hearing is that working people are getting cancelled on policies, or their premiums are going upwards of 70% hike. There is no good to come out of this.

I think it would be a good idea for the Sun Gazette to find people who have signed up for health insurance, and report on their experience with sign up, find out what the costs will be, etc. Find some single people of various ages, others who need a family health care plan, or 2 person plan, and see how the exchange has helped (or not helped) them.

the lowest in the nation in fact. Other states with high uninsured rates (such as Texas, New Mexico, California and Arkansas) will have a much more difficult time insuring all their citizens due to the dramatic increase in costs. These states will be forced to cut spending in other vital areas of the budget (such as education) in order to implement Obamacare."

"An individual mandate, the Republicans argued, would be a "free-market solution" to reform healthcare, part of a "social contract" that would help people take responsibility for themselves and avoid the immorality of freeloading off the government."
"The Massachusetts health care plan was designed for Massachusetts. It is not for every state and not for the nation as a whole. The Washington Post, after a thorough investigation, concluded that Romney has never called for a nationwide health care mandate. RomneyCare was designed as a unique solution to a one state's problems. Most experts agree that Massachusetts had two unique elements, its funding sources and political culture, which made it possible for RomneyCare to be implemented."
"RomneyCare works well in MA because, even before the law was passed, the state had a very low rate of uninsured residents, the lowest in the nation in fa

As you sit there wallowing in the bath of every liberal publication that says our current ACA is what Romney and Heritage Foundation pushed maybe you can take a break and go try an alternate source(s) and think for yourself.
Google "RomneyCare – The Truth about Massachusetts Health Care" at Mittromneycentral.
It will validate some of your comments but it goes past that to say that solution was for Massachusetts at that time and place, not the entire US today.
Average income for Mass (#2 in the nation) is $55k; the median Texas (#25) is $41k while Miss at 50th is $33k. Then look at poverty level where Mass has only 11.4%, Texas has 17.9%, while Miss has 22.4%.
So the average income in Mass is very high while the poverty level is low relative for the other states; that is why it works there and not everywhere else.
The individual mandate (one of the cornerstones of Romneycare) encourages 'free riders' to take responsibility for themselves rather than pass

I guess the big question in my mind is why are we forcing Gov run health care on 100% of the population when only 12-15% are without health care? It was a 2000+ page bill that everyone admitted they did not red before voting yes to it. Maybe they should tackle one issue at a time with health care for those without instead of forcing lawyer lead programs disguised as health care for all. The fact that everybody in the gov refusing this wonderful health care does raise a red flag for me.

Fairly predictable SG push poll....two of the responses rife with GOP talking points/thought viruses, and the other basically a fairy tale. We all know there's problems and issues in rolling out something new, just ask Apple. People should not panic. Even though the signup website has had problems, the official coverages and implementation don't happen until January. Just a reminder...historically, this healthcare law is a conservative Heritage Foundation initiative put forth in the early '90s and also served as the framework for Massachusetts healthcare law enacted under then Gov Mitt Romney. Conservatives should be embracing something straight out of one their think tanks.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
I am married to a dreamboat husband, a mother of two wonderful men, and granny to the girls who light up my life. On July 23, 1999, at 53 years young, and at the pinnacle of my 25-year public relations career, I was struck and terrorized by multiple myeloma. At that moment, I felt unable to live with (what I envisioned) as debilitating torture and pain of treatment of this disease.
I took hold of myself and decided to go to any length to get healthy. For me and my husband Bill, education made all the difference. We contacted the IMF and began calling those IMFers who were willing to be "buddies" for newly-diagnosed people. They provided me with hope and inspiration when I was most overwhelmed.
My oncologist encouraged me to participate and volunteer at a local branch of The Wellness Community. Bill and I took refuge in the warmth and knowledge we found there, and that support has been crucial to my recovery. Now, I volunteer as the MM resource person at TWC, providing information to our MM support group. When a newly diagnosed person is referred to me, I have the chance to share my experiences, strength, and hope, and I feel renewed too!
Today, after participating in a clinical trial with extensive treatments and autologus stem cell rescue, I am nearly 4 years into remission. Being in remission is no success story in the ordinary sense of the word. It is a story of suffering and fear transmuted, under grace, into hope. This experience has brought along many blessings. My relationships with people are sweeter, more endearing, and closer. The experts say there is no cure for myeloma. I say there is — all the wisdom and care from my supporters make me know that I am not alone in this. Should we ever have the chance to meet, I'd like for you to look into my eyes and see the gratitude for my recovery. I'm excited about the future, knowing that life beckons me.

quote: Everyone on the Apple hate wagon. Next stop, another overblown issue.Here are just a few facts about this issue, yes there is a purple haze issue on the iPhone 5, however this was also an issue with the iPhone4,4S oh and look at this, the GSIII. The difference is, it is more severe on the iPhone 5. This really only happens when a very bright light source is in the frame. So if you enjoy taking pictures of the sun with your cell phone, the iPhone 5 is most likely not the phone for you. However, if you take normal picture, this is really not that big of a deal, just like Maps. Droid boneheads just like to make it out to be a huge issue, because its Apple. It's really that simple.

quote: iPhobic
quote: Apple is the one in fear, getting crushed in sales
quote: It really is the good, the bad and the ugly, isn't it? The iPhone 5 is the perfect take-anywhere camera and, in good light, it's hard to tell the difference between its images and those from a compact camera.But the lack of an optical zoom (impractical, granted), no image stabilisation, no manual control, often bizarre exposure settings and the fact that quality jumps off a virtual cliff at high ISO settings - not that these can be controlled - all make an argument for investing in a dedicated high-end compact.Some new features such as panorama are fun, but more than a little rusty around the edges for the time being and streets behind the compact camera curve. But that's easy to improve with software updates, and something that we expect will happen.In a smartphone-only camera context, there are only a handful of contenders to consider, none of which has the current range of features on offer here. It's in Nokia's hands now to see what the Lumia 920 can pull off, as, for our money, the iPhone 5 is only bettered - at the time of writing - by the 808 PureView's clever tech and large sensor.That makes the iPhone 5 a darn good second and, for most consumers, it'll have the majority of what's needed including all the back-up and sharing options right there and then. If a big zoom is essential then the iPhone 5 isn't going to compare, but given the context of what it is - a phone before a camera - and it's hard not to be impressed for the most part.
quote: I purposefully chose a composition that had a lot of harsh light and various colorful objects at varying distances. The metering and focusing on both cameras was spotted directly on the "no stopping" sign.The results are pretty amazing – the iPhone takes worse photos but it certainly stacks up against a $4,000 professional camera. And, although the photos from the iPhone are significantly noisier, it has fantastic automatic metering.
quote: I hesitate to pick an overall winner here -- my time shooting with all three was brief -- but when it came down to picture quality, the iPhone 5 regularly produced excellent photos regardless of lighting. The One X is a pretty close second, however, turning out photos with nice color and detail. The Galaxy S3 turns out very good pictures, too, but they're not as usable at larger sizes as the iPhone 5's
quote: Luddites? Seriously?
quote: so the purple glare would actually help make the picture look worse.
quote: How often do you include an object as bright as the Sun in the field of vision of a photo? Whilst the purple haze is undesirable, so is pointing a precision light sensor like that in a camera such that the light of the Sun is focused directly onto it.

The Oscar host, who is also nominated for Best Actor at Sunday's show, already won a best actor award this weekend – at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday.
"I just went through film school at NYU and finished my thesis film, so independent film means a lot to me," said the actor, who was nominated for his role in 127 Hours as real life adventurer Aron Ralston, who had to sever his own arm when he got trapped under a boulder in 2003.
Natalie Portman, the heavily favored frontrunner for Oscar's Best Actress award, took home the Spirit award for female acting for Black Swan, which also won for best picture and best director for Darren Aronosky on Saturday.
The Oscar Best Picture favorite, The King's Speech, nabbed the Spirit prize for best foreign film.
Winter's Bone stars John Hawkes and actress Dale Dickey took home supporting actor awards.
Inside the Spirit AwardsThe wind gusted and the temperatures dropped outside at the Spirit awards, but inside a very pregnant Portman glowed as she made her way to her table and stopped to say a quick "hello" to fellow actresses Catherine Keener, Sarah Paulson and Amanda Peet. Liev Schreiber also headed to the table to chat with the group and was joined shortly after girlfriend Naomi Watts.
Meanwhile, Kate Walsh had a mini Grey's Anatomy reunion and caught up with former costar Sandra Oh.
Warren Beatty and wife Annette Bening were lovey-dovey throughout the show, as were Jon Hamm and longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, who sat cozily huddled together at their table.
At one point Bening made time to greet Nicole Kidman with a long hug and to chat with her and husband Keith Urban during a commercial break.

Millionaires in the Cornfields a must read
Millionaires in the Cornfields a must read
Before World Dairy Expo, there was Waterloo . . . as in the National Dairy Cattle Congress in Waterloo, Iowa, which opened in 1910. Simply said, the book, Millionaires in the Cornfields is a must read for those who follow genetics, show cattle, dairy industry personalities, and those who are simply history buffs. Written by Norman Nabholz of West Union, Iowa, the 262-page book is an easy read, and it is well illustrated with pictures on all but two facing pages.
As Nabholz points out, the great Waterloo shows took place at a time when millionaires owned many of the big-time show herds. The unique list of characters included:
• Edwin Gamble, an owner of Proctor and Gamble, and his Happy Valley herd
• J.M. McDonald, childhood friend of J.C. Penney and a V.P. at that company, and his McDonald Farm herd
• Frank Griswald, the inventor of the flashing railroad crossing sign and owner of Franlo Farms
• The Dayton Family, owner of Dayton Department stores and their Boulder Bridge herd
• Steven Roman, owner of Denison Mines which was a giant uranium producer, and his Romandale herd
• F.L. and E.H. Maytag, makers of Maytag washers, and their Maytag Dairy
• And, of course, the famed Curtiss Candy Company owned by Mr. and Mrs. Schnering.
Those are just some of the big-time players who would compete with breeder-owner herds like Hetts, Oak Ridge Ayrshires, Lyons, Langs, and many others. Throw in a heavy dose of stories about a multitude of Klussendorf winners who cared for the great cattle and there is plenty of good reading for young and old alike. Bottom line, Nabholz, an Iowa native, captured just about every facet of the great Waterloo shows.
The book ends with a cautionary tale in . . . The managers of Waterloo predicted the days of large cattle shows were coming to an end in 1965, and there would not be a place for them in Waterloo in the future. Little did they know that that Waterloo's decline would give rise to World Dairy Expo. And the rest they say is history.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of Millionaires in the Cornfields, contact Nabholz Farms, 24807 Neon Road, West Union, Iowa 52175; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com; or call (563) 422-3692. Each book sells for $37.50.

Almost every homeowner in the U.S. spends some amount of time and money delivering water to outdoor plants – especially grass. There are two basic ways to accomplish this task:
There are hybrids of these two such as an in-ground sprinkler system that is manual operated or an above ground hose system that is clock driven, but these systems are quite uncommon.
Most new homes come equipped with some form of clock driven automatic irrigation because this is a popular amenity that many people have come to expect. Manual irrigation is time and labor intensive and requires regular attention and vigilance. An automatic irrigation system can be simply programmed turned on and left to run. We don't recommend this "hands off" approach as it almost always results in over-watering and water waste, but there is no denying the convenience of an automatic irrigation system.
Convenience aside, there are a number of issues that should be considered when choosing an irrigation method:
There are a variety of manual sprinklers available that make the job easier. If you have a fairly large yard to manually irrigate, consider purchasing a "tractor" style sprinkler for turf. This heavy duty sprinkler uses the hose as a rail and crawls along as it waters travelling across the yard.
An underground irrigation system is the most expensive, but also the most convenient method, and may be considered for large yards. Consider drip irrigation for Xeriscape beds, it is the most efficient automatic option.

Macy's, JC Penney's fight over Martha Stewart goes to court
Macy's Chairman, President and CEO Terry Lundgren is scheduled to testify in New York State Supreme Court on Monday in a trial that pits the department store chain against rival J.C. Penney Co. over a partnership with home diva Martha Stewart.
The trial focuses on whether Macy's has the exclusive right to sell Martha Stewart-branded products in such categories as cookware, bedding and bath.
Other key witnesses expected to take the stand this week include Martha Stewart and Penney's CEO Ron Johnson.
Macy's has argued in court documents that Martha Stewart Living breached a long-standing contract when it penned a deal in December 2011 to open Martha Stewart mini shops in most J.C. Penney stores beginning this spring.

QUINCY, Calif. - The Plumas Ski Club, out of Quincy, Calif. held the first in a series of three annual races for Winter 2013: Historic Longboard Revival Series. Men and women gathered at the Plumas Eureka State Park in Johnsville, Calif., to match speed with history. The ski length can range from 10 to 14 feet, sometimes longer. "The skis are very difficult to turn, so you have to have a lot of nerve and a good run-out," one skier said.
Some claim the first downhill races in the Western Hemisphere were held in Plumas County. Gold was discovered on the east side of Gold Mountain, now called Eureka Peak, in May 1851. The longboards, often carved from heavy Douglas fir, were a form of winter transportation in the snowbound Sierra.
Mining towns formed teams to compete against one another, with Creed Raymond founding the Alturas Snowshoe Club at La Porte in late 1866.
"Doping the boards involves applying concoctions of tree oils, pine pitch, turpentine, and even the brow of the sperm whale, as well as other ingredients to the ski bottoms," wrote Mark McLaughlin, aka The Storm King. "The recipes to these waxy substances were closely guarded secrets among 19th century dopemakers, a tradition that continues today."
A Winter SnowFest event Feb.14-18 will include historic longboard races Feb. 17. Visit www.plumasskiclub.org and http://graeagleplumas.com/winterfest for information.
The Eastern Plumas Recreation District (EPRD) invites you to participate in the 20th annual Johnny Redstreake SnowBall, once again honoring storied Johnsville native and undefeated Longboard champion Johnny Redstreake (1911-81) on March 2 at the Nakoma Golf Resort near Graeagle, Calif.

New Program Answers Crossbreeding Questions
New Program Answers Crossbreeding Questions
Dairymen Considering Crossbreeding Have Questions Regarding Breeds, Second and Third Generation Crosses Answered by New Crossbreeding Program
Dairymen have many questions when considering crossbreeding, specifically which breeds to use and what to do after the first generation. A new program, "Generation X", released by New Generation Genetics is designed to answer those questions. According to New Generation President Dan Gilbert, the program was designed to both answer the basic questions, and give options to the broad scope of dairymen who are considering crossbreeding.
"We saw a need for a straight forward crossbreeding program which deals with the basic questions and issues dairymen have when considering crossbreeding. Generation X does just that" Gilbert said. The unique program gives dairymen three options, depending on their breeding goals, milk market and environment. Gilbert also commented, "We feel this makes the decision of what breed(s) to use quite simple. They simply need to answer what traits are most important to their operation, and pick the option that fits". An interesting component of one option is letting the cow dictate the breed to use.
"Besides answering the main crossbreeding questions, Generation X stresses high quality genetics, and draws on the successes of dairymen the world-over", added Gilbert.
New Generation Genetics is the leading supplier of Brown Swiss genetics in North America. Based in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin their core business is Brown Swiss.

Sources tell the website that Imagine Entertainment is interested�in a new film idea, but it hasn't yet been pitched to 20th�Century Fox.
TV shows that were resurrected
Of course, it's likely that Fox will want to continue the television revival after the success of the recent�limited series�24: Live Another Day.� "We haven't had a specific conversation about it coming back yet, but I'm sure we will in the future," Fox Networks Group Chairman CEO Peter Rice said in July. "It's a wonderful franchise. When you look at the show itself it has many more stories to tell. I think we need to sit down and talk to the creators."
Talk of a�24�movie first heated up not long after the conclusion of the series' eighth season in 2010. However, production was stopped in March 2012. After�Live Another Day�wrapped in July, executive producer�Jon Cassar�revealed at Comic-Con that�discussions about a film are still happening.

MACON, Ga. - Junior Chris Perez was named Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week after leading the Stetson men's basketball team to two league wins, announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
It marked the first time that Perez received the honor from the A-Sun, and his second weekly honor overall in his two seasons with the Hatters. Last year, he was named A-Sun Newcomer of the Week after a 22-point performance in his first season at Stetson.
Perez's 19.7 points per game on 61.5 percent shooting during the week led the Hatters to victories over Kennesaw State and Jacksonville to even the team's conference record to 2-2. The accolades mark the first time a Stetson player has been named A-Sun Player of the Week since Ridge Graham received the honor on Nov. 16, 2010.
Perez has now scored in double figures in nine straight games, dating back to a home contest against Florida Atlantic on Dec. 6. The guard is averaging 17.7 points and 5.1 rebounds, while shooting nearly 53% from the floor during the stretch.
After Monday night's season-best 23 point performance, Perez has now reached 20 or more points four times this season and 11 times in less than two years of competition at Stetson. He's now seventh in the league with 14.8 points per game, and eighth in the A-Sun with a field goal percentage of 51.9.
Perez and the Stetson men's basketball team, now 5-10 overall and 2-2 in A-Sun action, will next head on the road to ETSU and USC Upstate. The Hatters take on the Bucs Thursday, Jan. 10 at 7:00 p.m. and then challenge the Spartans on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 5:00 p.m.

About Biblica
We're passionate about reading the Bible well so we can live it well. For over 200 years, we've helped millions of people access and experience God's Word, so it can transform their lives.
Our ministry
Translating the Bible for 4 billion people
We translate and publish the Bible in dozens of languages, including the New International Version (NIV), the world's most widely used contemporary English Bible.
We believe everyone deserves a reliable, easy-to-read translation of Scripture in their heart language. We publish whole Bible translations, not just Scripture portions. We focus on languages with a million or more speakers so we can reach as many as possible with God's Word.
Right now, we're working to make all our translations available in print, digital text, and digital audio — overcoming the barrier of illiteracy and the cost of printed Bibles. Read more about our Bible translation efforts.
Helping churches and individuals read the Bible well
We don't stop at Bible translation, though, because access alone doesn't guarantee engagement with God's Word. We help churches, ministries, and individuals experience Scripture in powerful ways — from church-wide Bible reading campaigns to biblically-based HIV prevention for youth.
Our work won't be finished until every single person has had a life-changing encounter with God's Word.
Our story
Biblica dates back more than 200 years, when we were founded by some of New York City's leading philanthropists, thinkers, and businessmen to reach America's leading city — and ultimately the world — with the gospel.
First as the New York Bible Society, then as the International Bible Society, and today as Biblica, we've pioneered new ways of accessing and experiencing the Bible:
- In 1820, we sponsored our first Bible translation, William Carey's Bengali Bible.
- We first gave Bibles to soldiers during the War of 1812.
- We were the first to put Bibles in hotel rooms.
- We published the first Braille Bibles.
- We produced the first audio Bible.
- In 1978, we published the New International Version (NIV), the world's leading contemporary English translation of Scripture.
As we entered our third century of ministry in 2009, Biblica had already provided more than 650 million Bibles and biblical resources to people around the world. Read more about Biblica's history here.
Our values and beliefs
God's Word is at the heart of everything we do. We are captivated, challenged, and inspired by this extraordinary collection of books. We believe the Bible is God's truth and God's story; and in everything we do, we seek to honor our Savior and his everlasting Word. Read more about our values and beliefs.
Our future
We serve in 55 countries, reaching more than 100 million people with God's Word every year. But that's only the beginning.
Our heart beats for those who still don't have God's Word. We've already translated the Bible into 27 of the top 30 spoken languages. And through our global initiative to publish Scripture in print, digital text, and digital audio, these 27 Bible translations can reach up to 4 billion people with God's Word.
Our vision is to help ignite a worldwide renewal of Bible reading, in and through the church. We believe a better Bible reading experience is possible, that the trend of decreasing Bible engagement can be reversed, and that God's church can be revitalized simply by experiencing the Bible together.

Surane Earns Honorable Mention in Weekly Award
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State freshman outside attacker Brendan Surane has been named as an Honorable Mention for Off the Block/Springbak, Inc., National Freshman of the Week as announced Monday afternoon. The freshman helped the No. 13 Ball State men's volleyball team to three wins last week against then-No. 13 Ohio State, Barton and Mount Olive.
Surane registered a career-high 10 kills in Ball State's 3-0 sweep of Barton on Friday, Feb. 28. The freshman tied his career-high for blocks in that match with two after picking up a solo block and assisting on another. Surane hit .261 for the match (10-4-23) coming off the bench for the Cardinals.
The Off the Block/Springbak, Inc. National Freshman of the Week is presented to the NCAA Division I-II men's volleyball freshman who had the most outstanding performance during the week.
The winner is announced every Monday during the regular season on the Off the Block website, offtheblockblog.com.
Each of the four NCAA Division I-II men's volleyball conferences have an opportunity each week to nominate one player for the National Freshman of the Week. In addition, fans and teams can nominate a player for the National Freshman of the Week by tweeting their nominee to the official Twitter account of Off the Block, @offtheblock11.
Off the Block is a website that started in January 2011 and has become among the national leaders in college men's volleyball coverage. Springbak, Inc. is the official sponsor of the 2014 Freshmen All-American Team and National Freshman of the Week and produces high performance footwear used by professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB and U.S. Olympic teams and the top college teams in the nation.
The No. 13 Ball State men's volleyball team returns to action in Worthen Arena this Friday and Saturday hosting Belmont Abbey and King College. Both matches are set to begin at 7:30 p.m.

It was history in a David-and-Goliath setting.
Seabury Hall's crew of Kamaile Lee, Bela Hamilton, Lexi Smith, Mikaela McDaniel, Hiilei Aiwohi-Kolt, Kaile Aina Sutherland and Kaulu Luuwai became the first group from outside the Interscholastic League of Honolulu to win the First Hawaiian Bank Canoe Paddling State Championships girls crown in the 12-year history of the event on Friday at Keehi Lagoon on Oahu.
"It is pretty amazing considering how many girls we have to choose from and how many we have on our team as alternates," said Luuwai, the senior steersman.

The Kamehameha Maui boys crew, which went undefeated during the MIL regular season, finished fourth at the state canoe paddling regatta Friday at Keehi Lagoon.

"We barely have a crew of seven to paddle. We have two first-year paddlers in the boat and we actually asked them to come out this year because we were short on girls and they helped us get to where we are.
"We are very proud to be from a small school like Sea-bury and perform like the way we did today."
Seabury has 311 high school students. Runner-up Kamehameha Kapalama, a six-time girls state champion, has more than 1,800.
Fact Box
Friday's Final Results * At Keehi Lagoon
Girls-1. Seabury Hall (Hiilei Aiwohi-Kolt, Bela Hamilton, Kaulu Luuwai, Mikaela McDaniel, Lexi Smith, Kamaile Lee) 4:24.37, 2. Kamehameha Kapalama 4:26.40, 3. Waianae 4:39.40, 4. Kalaheo 4:44.63, 5. Kamehameha Maui 4:45.04, 6. Kapaa 4:45.59, 7. Punahou 4:46.58, 8. Parker 4:48.17.
Boys-1. Kamehameha Kapalama (Ruckus Lindsey, Tyler Meditz, Makualii Perry, Beau Shishido, Azariah Distajo, Kapono Fujitani) 3:41.67, 2. Punahou 3:49.55, 3. Mid-Pacific 3:56.95, 4. Kamehameha Maui 3:59.61, 5. Kalaheo 4:00.27, 6. Kaiser 4:02.01, 7. Seabury Hall 4:03.52, 8. McKinley 4:04.09.
Mixed-1. Kamehameha Kapalama (Ruckus Lindsey, Tyler Meditz, Azariah Distajo Iisha Fu, Keolewa Puhi, Kekahiliokalani Novikoff) 3:52.73, 2. Punahou 3:55.42, 3. Seabury Hall 3:55.92, 4. Kalaheo 4:07.18, 5. Nanakuli 4:11.27, 6. Kamehameha Maui 4:11.74, 7. Moanalua 4:13.53, 8. Parker 4:17.28
Aiwohi-Kolt and Sutherland are first-year paddlers and the alternates were Joy Balinbin,
Mapuana Andrade and Ashley Quenga. Luuwai and Hamilton are the only seniors.
Paul Luuwai, Kaulu's uncle, became the first coach to guide crews from two schools to state titles - he led King Kekaulike to the mixed championship in 2004.
The Spartans, who went unbeaten in the Maui Interscholastic League regular season, finished in 4 minutes, 24.37 seconds - 2.03 seconds in front of Kamehameha.
"It's awesome to be a part of," Paul Luuwai said, choking up. "I'm so proud of my girls. My brother's daughter, Kaulu, is the steersman and the captain of the team. She just had a great race and what a way to top her career. She won six MIL titles, she is the MIL Paddler of the Year two years in a row and she ends her career with a girls state championship. Unbelievable."
Luuwai also was emotional when he talked about Steve Colflesh, the veteran Seabury athletic director who is retiring at the end of the school year.
"To bring a state championship back to Seabury and for Mr. Colflesh, just phenomenal," Luuwai said.
The Spartans finished third in the mixed final. Lee, McDaniel, Hamilton and Kaulu Luuwai were joined by Alden Simmer, Mogul Luuwai and Adam Ferrier.
"Kaulu and Mogul almost became the first brother and sister to win a mixed state medal on the same crew. They almost pulled it off," Paul Luuwai said.
The Seabury boys took seventh place.
Kamehameha Maui also had entrants in all three finals. The boys, who had a perfect MIL season, were fourth, the girls fifth and the mixed crew sixth.
"This isn't Division II, either," Paul Luuwai said. "Paddling is Division I across the board. So, that's just amazing. Look at all the kids in Hawaii. Punahou, Kamehameha, they are freaking out how small our school is. I'm so proud of our school, so proud of the MIL."
Kamehameha Maui coach Robert Brede expressed a similar sentiment.
"The MIL was very impressive," he said. "Hats off to Seabury, I tell you, those girls, they earned that big-time. Whoa, those girls are tough."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - There's never a bad time to read a good book about how to build your business. And if the good book happens to land in your lap at a great time, that's a bonus.If you're looking for inspiration to kick-start your business for 2013 and beyond, get your hands on a copy of ON INNOVATION, by Terry Jones. It's a quick read filled with deep insight and rapid-fire advice on how to turn on innovation in your culture, teams and organization.Inspired from his own experiences as the founder of Travelocity and Chairman of Kayak.com, the author and Incline Village resident presents chapter by chapter motivation for businesses of any shape and size. Through his work with dozens of start-ups and positions on the Boards of some of America's most respected non-profit organizations, Jones pens his real world experiences into 72 "Ideas" in an easy to read and relate to format.Each "idea" is simply expressed within each three page Chapter, yes, three page Chapter; and each Chapter ends with a few 'Questions to Kick-start Innovation' to inspire the reader to work through the concept and apply it to their own organization.I've read this book front to back and back to front and it has pushed my "on" button. About that "back to front" notation: You can actually read this book in any direction. Every chapter is fueled with its own intelligence on how to fuse innovation into the workplace or your personal mindset.It was a little challenging to nail down some of my favorite light bulb moments as every Idea seemed to hit home; yet here's a few that turned on my think-tank. Idea 17 reminded me that there can be a richer culture within any team that welcomes new ideas from the top down and bottom, up. Idea 40 inspired me to encourage my peers to seek an MBWA leadership mantra.In this chapter, Jones champions 'Management by Walking Around' and shares his belief that the brain trust of every business is often found within some of the quietest - and perhaps most unexpected - cubicles of the company. Another break-through appeared in Idea 41 where Jones acquainted me with the "Bonzone" layer which often stops good ideas from being great.Although many of the Ideas were filled with hard core examples, many unraveled in humorous tones that those who know Jones would expect. Seek out Idea 14, "Keep Teams Small" about why meetings should only involve enough people to eat two pizzas; Idea 48, "Walk in Their Shoes", which told the tale of how a soap wrapper can train-wreak a good shower and a business brand; or the Idea that tied a stripper to a software guru. That Idea is worth finding on your own within this short yet substantial book.As a former senior executive at American Airlines for 20 years, Jones also includes a section on " Innovation in the Large Corporation." He submits that innovation in big companies is quite different than in the startup and gives prescriptions on organizational structure, team location, funding and who to put on the team. The thoughts ring true as even big companies have trouble turning creative ideas into prosperous innovations. Throughout the book, you will walk in Terry Jones' shoes and come away with idea after idea on how to turn on innovation in your life. He has made ON INNOVATION a swift and masterful guide that is jam-packed with real-life examples backed with philosophical and thought-provoking substance that is ripe for picking for those who seek a bountiful 2013 and beyond.ON INNOVATION has garnered endorsements from the President of Nationwide Insurance and the former CEO of American Airlines and can be purchased on Amazon.com in paperback for $15. On this site you can also read all eight "5-star" reviews to date.- Lee Weber Koch is principal of Weber & Associates / Marketing & Public Relations. Learn more at www.weberandassociates.com.

Jerry McBride/Durango Herald
Monday�s game opened with Fort Lewis College looking as sluggish as it did in the second half Sunday night against Colorado Mesa University.
The Skyhawks, however, engineered a much more palatable finish.
The Fort Lewis women�s basketball team forced 15 second-half turnovers and scored 11 points from the line to overcome a poor shooting second half to top Western State Colorado University 59-49 on Monday at Whalen Gymnasium in both teams� final game before breaking for the holidays.
�That puts us at 2-3 in the conference with a chance to hang in there,� Fort Lewis head coach Jason Flores said. �That�s what we needed it to be coming out of (Monday).�
Fort Lewis (3-6, 2-3 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) and Western State each hit on just 27 percent of their field goal attempts after halftime, but it was FLC�s ability to switch to a zone defense, then back to man and so on that flummoxed the Mountaineers (1-9, 1-5 RMAC).
�We kind of switched defenses in the second half. We were kind of grinding, and we weren�t hitting on all cylinders, that�s for sure� Flores said.
�We had to change something, so we changed up what we were doing defensively.�
That renewed defensive effort allowed the Skyhawks to overcome poor shooting; they outscored Western State 25-11 in points off turnovers, and Fort Lewis held a 25-19 advantage in turnovers.
�It kept that like distance where we weren�t scoring, but unlike other games, we were able to sustain and keep them from scoring for long droughts,� Flores said. �There were a couple times where they didn�t get a good look at the basket for a stretch.�
Aggression on offense helped, as well.
The Skyhawks were turned away repeatedly when trying to get into the lane in Sunday�s loss to Colorado Mesa, but they flipped the script Monday, driving into the paint to hold a 22-8 advantage in points in the paint and a 11-4 advantage in made free throws in the second half.
�I think a lot of the games we�ve played so far, we kind of lived with the jump shot, die by the jump shot,� guard Erika Richards said. �We just need to keep pushing it into the paint and ... keep getting easy buckets.�
The key run for the Skyhawks came in the middle of the second half.
The Fort Lewis women used a 10-0 run to turn a 33-all tie into a 43-33 advantage with 9:51 to play, and Fort Lewis was able to keep Western State at arms length down the stretch.
�I think the zone definitely bothered them a lot,� Richards said. �They couldn�t find the gaps early on.�
Fort Lewis, however, had to overcome a sluggish start.
The Mountaineers opened the game on a 13-2 run against the off-kilter Skyhawks, but Fort Lewis eventually regained composure to lead for the first time at 23-22, thanks to seven of Richards� game-high 13 points and eight of Katerina Garcia�s 12 points.
�We were upset with ourselves, and coach kind of got into us,� Richards said. �And we knew we needed to turn it around on the defensive end because that�s where we were getting killed at the time.�
Jade MacIntosh took advantage of the FLC defense early and led WSCU with 12 points, while Natalie Markovich added 10.
The Skyhawks now head into the holiday break before opening Jan. 4 and 5 with road games against Chadron State and Black Hills State, where they�ll look to get on a bit of a run and put themselves back in the RMAC title picture.
