5 Things I'm Secretly Thankful for This Thanksgiving
#2. Some Video Game Companies Just Say "Fuck It"
Via Techhuman.com
About a year ago, FIFA 12 (the granddaddy of all soccer games) was released for pretty much every gaming system and was given damn near perfect review scores across the board. In its first week, it sold 3.2 million copies, becoming the fastest selling sports game ever. With the level of anticipation for its release, that wasn't all that unexpected. What was unexpected was the glitch-filled, physics-bending gay sex marathon that happened when you hit the Start button.
If hardcore fucking isn't your thing, maybe you'd prefer some soft, romantic gay make-out sessions:

Not into soccer rape? They have some good old-fashioned mutilation videos, too:
Oh, don't think that these are rare incidents. There are entire YouTube channels devoted to making not just single videos of these glitches, but full-on compilations. Don't worry, you don't need to know jack shit about soccer to get why these are awesome:
Americans, if you're with family right now, you tell those bitches they can wait a few minutes. You're at your computer being thankful as a motherfucker.
#1. All Jokes Aside, I'm Thankful for You Guys (No, Seriously)
There's a reason for this beyond just "you guys read my shit, and without you, I don't get paid." Around 1990, I met my best friend (You may have heard of him) in a boring art class and realized he was the only person I had ever met who shared my sense of humor. Since we technically had to be doing artwork in order to be in that class, we'd sit in the back and make up surreal stories while drawing some of the stupidest shit we could think of.
David would draw stick soldiers firing "beard guns" at an opposing army and narrate what was going on. I'd draw Gallagher parachuting off of the sun, smashing watermelons on his way down to defuse the Dennis Rodman bomb that was about to go off any second (yes, it was a bomb made out of Dennis Rodman). Angels had break-dance wars in fields that bloomed with beautiful Bret Michaels bushes. Hell, I got my fake Internet name from one of those drawings.
Seriously, try to imagine it. Just ripe Bret Michaels bushes as far as the eye can see.
Eventually, we realized that we could use that same comedy to get through other sucky parts of life -- not just art class. But the thing was, we had always been our own audience because no one else in that tiny shithole of a town got our sense of humor. I guess every kid goes through that, but we were antisocial enough for the theory to hold some legitimate weight. Imagine our surprise when we started writing comedy on the Internet and found that not only were there other people doing the same thing, but there was an absolute shitload of them.
Really? There are that many people who identify with that? That's insane.
So all joking aside, you have no idea how much I (and everyone here at Cracked) sincerely appreciate you as an audience. Because when shit gets the darkest in my life, the most surefire weapon I have against it is being able to make fun of it and laugh through it. If I didn't have you guys here to share that with, I'd just be another fuckup, laughing to myself until I literally went insane. So sincerely, thank you, thank you, thank you.
John has a Twitter where he rarely thanks anyone for anything, as well as a Facebook fan page. He preemptively thanks you for hitting the "Like" button over there. Unless you didn't, in which case, you can just lick his asshole.

09.13.05 Fees
Authority: Business
Regulation Article, §§2-106, 2-106.1, and 2.-106.2; Business Occupations and Professions Article, §§15-101, 15-208,
15-209, 15-306, 15-307, and 15-307.1, Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
The Board for Professional Land Surveyors proposes to amend Regulation
.03 under COMAR 09.13.05 Fees. This action was
considered by the Board at a public meeting held on June 5, 2013, notice of which was published in 40:10 Md. R. 952
(May 17, 2013), in accordance with State Government Article, §10-506(c), Annotated Code of Maryland.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to align the examination fees paid by applicants to take licensing examinations with the fees
established by the National Council of Examiners of Engineers and Surveyors (NCEES). NCEES is the national organization that
develops the exam which is used nationally as the measure of surveying competence. Applicants pay the examination fees directly
to the Board.
Comparison to Federal Standards
There is no corresponding federal standard to this proposed action.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. The surveying exam consists of two parts, Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) and Principles
of Surveying (PS). The FS exam will be converted to computer based delivery in January 2014, At that time, the FS exam fee will
increase from $160 to $225, and the PS exam fee will increase from $225 to $320.
Currently, FS candidates pay $160 directly to the Board. Of that amount $100 is passed through to NCEES. PS candidates pay
$225 directly to the Board. Of that amount $165 is passed through to NCEES. The Board retains $60 to pay the exam administration costs.
Effective in January 2014, FS candidates will submit $225 directly to NCEES to take the computerized exam and the Board will no
longer receive any fees from FS candidates. PS candidates will submit $320 ($260 NCEES exam booklet and scoring fee plus $60
administration fee) directly to the Board. The $260 fee will be passed through to NCEES.
III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
A. Approximately 25 individuals take the FS exam per year. At $60 per candidate, the Design Boards Special Fund will experience
a $1500 decrease in revenue.
D. FS candidates will see an increase of $65 per administration. PS candidates will pay an additional $95 to take the exam.
E. NCEES will receive an additional $125 for each FS candidate, and an additional $95 for each PS candidate.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

The US Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act re-injects a sense of urgency into the transformation of an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the US economy. Implementation deadlines that once seemed far off are now rapidly approach, putting fresh pressure on health organizations to devise innovative ways of delivering high-quality, affordable care.
The Court ruled that a core provision of the Affordable Care Act (the requirement that every American carry health insurance) is a tax and as such, is constitutional. The ruling also permits the federal government to pursue a broad expansion of the Medicaid health program for the poor, removed the penalty for states that choose not to expand Medicaid to 133% of the Federal Poverty Level.
This report from the Health Research Institute shares analysis of the implications of the ruling for health insurers, providers, pharmaceutical and life sciences, state governments, and employers.

5 Common Misconceptions That Destroy Computers
#2. "I Deleted a Bunch of Stuff, but My Computer Is Still Slow"
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com
This is one of the most common things I hear from people with computer problems -- especially people who learned how to fix computer problems back in the 1990s and never really updated their bag of computer-fixing tricks. The system starts running slower than normal, or it's taking longer to start up than it used to, so in response, they delete a bunch of photos and music and are just baffled when it doesn't fix the problem. So then they'll uninstall a bunch of programs that they barely use, and their confusion and frustration just escalate. So their next step is to call you up and ask you to wipe it for them and start with a clean hard drive.
Please stop doing that.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Also, that's not how you do it.
I think this is specifically people who have had computers since Windows 98 or before. Back then, PCs used a series of tricks to use the hard drive to make the system faster by basically treating the hard drive as more RAM. If the hard drive got too full, everything slowed down. So anybody who remembers those days still thinks that cleaning up the hard drive speeds up the computer. Technology, fortunately, has moved on. For my older readers, it's like when you used to have to masturbate your horse to get him going and then hang a severed horse vagina in front of his face in order to get him to sprint. But with modern horse technology, you just have to get on him and punch his neck a few times. In other words, unless you fill it to the point that it physically has no room to store even one more file, your hard drive space does not affect your computer speed in any discernible way.
Thinkstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
What the fuck is wrong with you?
In most of the cases -- and we're talking about a high 80s to low 90s percentage -- the slowness is caused by spyware and malware. And like we talked about earlier, the fix is so simple, anyone can do it. If you're having this problem, go do that right now.
Of course, it could just be that your computer is an old piece of shit. In which case, you could find yourself saying something like ...
#1. "I'll Save Some Money and Just Upgrade My Old Computer"
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
I mentioned in another article that your computer getting slower with time doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with it. Over time, the programs and operating system that you use will require updates, and each of these updates will make those programs bulkier and harder to pull -- like potato chips do to your ass. So even if you haven't changed your personal usage of the machine, it's still going to demand bigger and better components. But here's where things get kind of confusing, and by confusing I mean "enraging to the point of inventing new forms of aggravated assault that not even the police had seen before."
So, first your nephew suggests that you "upgrade the memory," and for a few hundred dollars he agrees to graciously do that for you. But when you get it back, it's no faster than it was before. Did that little fucker just rip you off?
Maybe, but here is where you find out that sometimes upgrading does absolutely nothing. It has to do with what computer-savvy types call bottlenecks in the system. In short, it means the computer is often only as fast as its slowest part. So you can have the Geek Squad upgrade your "RAM" or "video card" or "nanovector money disintegrator" and find out that you're still slow because the old-ass processor is still there (imagine that old and busted processor as the thin end of a funnel -- no matter how much urine you piss into the cone, it can only allow so much to exit at one time).
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
You disgusting little bastard.
So, you tell them to upgrade the processor, but they explain that they can't, because the "motherboard" can't handle a larger one. So, you tell them to replace the motherboard, and then they explain that this means your new RAM and video card will no longer work, because they were only compatible with the old motherboard, so you're effectively starting over. Here is where you do the math and realize that the "cheap" upgrade has turned into a Vietnam-style quagmire that's now costing you more than what you'd have paid for an entirely new computer. Moments like these are generally the time where you separate the good friends (the ones who hold your arms down so you'll stop punching yourself in the face) from the bad (the ones who film it and put it on YouTube, using their much more awesome computers).
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Friends, children ... whatever.
Here is where you may break down and buy a brand new computer. It's a good feeling -- you spent a lot of money, sure, but at least you know you've left that old mess behind.
So, you get it home and turn it on, only to realize that something is even more wrong with it. All of the controls are gone -- all of the stuff you used to click on to make it work, even the "shut down" button, are just ... gone. All of the buttons in the upper right of your window -- the "X" and "-" buttons your kids showed you how to use 15 years ago -- have vanished, and in fact so has the window itself. Even the "start" button in the lower left that let you access everything is gone. Unfortunately, you have been infected with a piece of malicious software called Windows 8, and not only did you just unintentionally pay for it, but it will cost you another couple hundred dollars to get your local computer shop to remove it. And here is when you realize that all of this is just an elaborate prank meant to teach you to be satisfied with what you have in life, because you just couldn't leave well enough alone.

I look forward to reading Bob Gates� memoir.� He�s a smart, interesting, honorable man who has witnessed a lot of history.� From this review, at least, it appears to be something more than the double-barreled assault on Obama cable news readers (who haven't read it either) are portraying it to be.
I�m sure there are some surprises in the book, but the pre-release headline about the administration�s division over Afghanistan isn�t one of them. Obama went through a long, drawn-out policy formulation process on Afghanistan in 2009, and while none of the players argued their positions in public, it was evident in news reports that there were two factions.� One, led by Joe Biden, favored a "counter-terrorism" strategy, with a smaller U.S. footprint and a more narrow mission focused on terrorist groups.� The other, led by Gen. David Petraeus and other Pentagon brass (presumably including Gates), favored a "counter-insurgency" strategy like the "surge" Petraeus mobilized in Iraq, following the counter-insurgency manual Petraeus had written.� It featured nation-building by the Army along with fighting. It had a broader scope: creating a functioning national government, using U.S. troops to organize village councils to create a political counter-weight to the Taliban. It would require more troops and more time.
As I recall, in the end Obama brought the Pentagon guys into the Oval Office and agreed to send more troops (though not as much as the generals wanted). But he made� Petraeus agree that the mission would be extended only if there were measurable results.� Petraeus would get the chance to show that his field manual strategy would work.
I remember seeing a photo I wish I'd saved of a U.S. soldier, in full body armor, sitting in a hut talking to an Afghan family.� He looked like a giant space trooper out of Star Wars, and I recall wondering how anyone thought the differences between foreign soldiers and Afghan peasants could be bridged.� "Restrepo," a great documentary about the war, features a young female officer who spent a year in tireless efforts to win the trust of villagers in a remote, contested valley. She was making headway – until her tour was up, and then she was out of there, with no replacement in sight. "This isn't going to work," I remember thinking.� I also remember the year all eyes turned to Helmand Province, where the U.S. troops were going to use every military and nation-building tool in the toolbox to take back a Taliban stronghold.� It didn't work. As in Vietnam, the U.S. troops would control the villages by day, the Taliban after dark.
By 2011, the failure of the nation-building strategy was clear to Obama.� In his book, Gates writes:�� �The president doesn�t trust his commander, can�t stand Karzai, doesn�t believe in his own strategy, and doesn�t consider the war to be his. For him, it�s all about getting out.�
Well, yes.� Petreaus' strategy wasn't succeeding, and Obama had lost confidence in it.� Karzai, whom Biden had always hated, turned out to be a disaster, unable and not that interested in rooting out corruption and establishing a competent government.� A smooth exit for the U.S. was the best Obama could hope for.
In the end, Gates concludes the president was right about Afghanistan and Iraq: "I believe Obama was right in each of these decisions."
As the Gates book tour plays out, we'll see a lot of talk about Gates turning his fire on Obama and such nonsense.� It would be far more useful to revisit the positions of Biden and Petreaus in 2009 and consider who was right.� I'd very much like to hear Hillary Clinton's take on it.

Taxing the Sale of Property
Dennis S. Karjala
Arizona State University College of Law
Duke Law Journal, Vol. 1980, No. 3, 1980
The federal income tax laws have always included gain from "dealings in property" as an item of gross income, and probably only the payment of wages rivals the sale of property in fundamental importance to taxpayers generally. Nevertheless, the courts and the Internal Revenue Service have yet to develop a consistent and rational approach to taxing the many sales transactions in which the seller takes some evidence of the purchaser's indebtedness in full or partial exchange for the underlying property.
This article argues that the accounting provisions under sections 446 and 451, the installment sale provisions under section 453, and the disposition-of-property provisions under section 1001 are all amenable to one consistent interpretation. The approach is simple, requiring only a distinction between sales of property in the regular course of business and isolated or casual sales. This interpretation comports with the apparent congressional intent, gives meaningful effect to each of the relevant statutory provisions, and permits sound tax planning by providing fairly predictable results. While section 453 and section 1038, among other Code sections, can undoubtedly be improved, there is no need to wait for reform before clearing up the current confusion surrounding the interplay of section 1001 and the accounting provisions

Just ask Ellen Casey, Terri Smith and Nancy Sitarz, three Connecticut moms – friends since middle school – celebrating their 50th birthdays with a girls' weekend trip to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, where Owen just happened to be performing Friday night.
"We had a spa day for all of our birthdays, then it was margaritas at the pool," Casey, a hospital administrator from Wallingford, Connecticut, tells PEOPLE Country. "We were just there laughing and chatting. Then I see these boys staring at us and I'm thinking they're either going to pull something or they're going to hit on us!"
Courtesy Nancy Sitarz
After chatting for an hour – "we bonded because my son is in a band called Hostage Calm and Jake was saying how the best thing about what he does for a living is how proud his parents are of him," says Casey – and buying the group drinks and lunch, Owen said there would be tickets at will call and that he hoped they would come to his show.
"Terri was the one who said she hated country music and she didn't believe he was anybody, so she wouldn't even take a picture with him."
Courtesy Ellen Casey
Not only were there tickets (and floor seats!), but Owen, 32, told the crowd about the group of ladies he met at the pool earlier that day.
"Where's Terri?" he called out into the audience. "I was eavesdropping at the pool today and overheard someone say they hated country music." Then he pulled the women up on stage to watch the rest of the show from his onstage tiki bar.
So has Terri changed her opinion of country music? "Yes!" she says. "I am especially a fan of Jake Owen – a huge fan. It was a weekend we'll never forget!"

COLUMBIANA - No matter how difficult things got for the Leetonia football team late in the 2013 season, senior fullback Zack Van Giesen gamely kept banging away.
With the Bears offense handicapped down the stretch by injuries, the load fell heavily on Van Giesen's shoulders as his career wound down.
"Injuries are a part of the game," Van Giesen said. "I had to do my part along with everyone else to step up."
As Leetonia struggled to a 2-8 campaign, Van Giesen provided some highlights, rushing for an Inter-Tri County League lower tier-leading 1,169 yards and 12 touchdowns, while having enough energy leftover to receive special mention Division VII All-Ohio as a defensive lineman.
"We didn't have the season we wanted, but it felt good to lead the lower tier in rushing," Van Giesen said. "I have to thank my teammates for helping me get there."
Van Giesen's effort has earned him a spot on the Ohio All-Star team for Friday's 35th annual Penn-Ohio Stateline Classic at Springfield High School.
"To earn a spot on this team is something I'll be able to look back on," Van Giesen said. "It's an honor to be a part of."
Van Giesen entered the 2013 season hoping to team up with junior quarterback Trent Ferry and junior running back Colton Gudat to lead Leetonia into Division VII playoff contention. After three games, the Bears were in good shape with a 2-1 record behind a balanced rushing attack. After that, things began to unravel.
A pair of close setbacks to Wellsville and Lowellville (both playoff teams) was followed by a blowout loss to Western Reserve, during which Ferry-who accounted for 826 total yards in six games-suffered a broken leg.
"That (Ferry's injury) was a big blow," Van Giesen said. "We really went downhill after he got hurt."
In addition to Ferry's injury, Gudat-who accounted for 526 total yards in seven games-succumbed to nagging injuries and was also lost for the year.
With three weeks left in the season, Van Giesen was all alone as the main cog in the Bears' attack. He attempted more carries than anyone else in the lower tier over the final three games, while also shuttling between defensive end and inside linebacker.
"It wore on me a little bit," Van Giesen said. "Going both ways, trying to keep our offense and defense in line, was hard. I was banged up at the end of the year. I tried to keep our offensive line's spirits up the best I could."
With defenses loaded up to stop Van Giesen, the Bears struggled mightily in the season's closing weeks, mustering just one touchdown in each of their final three games to end on an eight-game losing streak.
All the while, Van Giesen kept plugging away. He even stepped in at quarterback in the Bears' final two games-rushing for 210 yards out of the wildcat formation in the season finale at Mineral Ridge.
"With the way our offense was, playing quarterback was pretty much like running back," Van Giesen said. "I was still running the ball almost every play, the only difference was taking snaps."
Van Giesen-who will not play football in college-is relishing the chance to play one final game on Friday with his Ohio teammates and has no regrets with how his career ended.
"It was a fun four years," Van Giesen said. "The coaching staff and teammates helped make it a lot of fun. It means a lot to be able to play one last game with all the other players from this area. I'm ready to get after it."

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls woman who slashed another woman with a razor blade in a Cleveland Avenue confrontation June 12 accepted a plea offer Wednesday in Niagara County Court.
Shawnquilla N. Armstrong, 20, of Ninth Street, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and faces up to a year in the County Jail when she is sentenced March 8 by Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.
Armstrong cut her 19-year-old cousin on the face and body. Farkas had balked at the misdemeanor plea last week because she felt the attorneys were in too big of a rush to settle the case, but she agreed to it Wednesday.

Cheers everybody, I can't for the life of me remember what NBCSN and company did last year, but is anyone aware of any contingency plan for when Wild v. Hawks game 1 inevitably lasts longer than the 2 and half hours from the start of that game to the start of the Wings game?
I would say hey, they'll just put it on CNBC, but we'll likely have the same issue there with Kings-Blues. Are we just SOL?
Thanks, GO WINGS

St. Paul, Minnesota
Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is more nationally recognized, Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political activity. Regionally, the city is popular for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies such as Ecolab and Lawson Software.

MARTINSBURG - A man who tripped a burglar alarm inside a closed Family Dollar store in Martinsburg Monday night was arrested following a foot pursuit and struggle with police, during which he was accused of trying to grab an officer's gun.
Christopher Shane Lewis, 24, of Garden Drive, was later arraigned on charges of breaking and entering and attempting to disarm a police officer.
According to court records, at about 9:37 p.m. Monday, Martinsburg City Police Patrolman R.S. Fritz responded to the Family Dollar store located at 1319 Old Courthouse Square after a burglar alarm was activated. The alarm company indicated the alarm was showing motion in the back of the store.

Christopher Shane Lewis
Fritz found the back doors of the store locked. Patrolman First Class L.D. Ruffner checked the front of the store and initially found that everything appeared secure, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a man, later identified as Lewis, moving inside, records show.
Ruffner tapped on the window with his flashlight to get the man's attention, but Lewis ducked down and started moving swiftly through the back of the store. An employee arrived at the store and told police that no one should be inside. The key holder unlocked the door and Ruffner and another officer entered, announcing that they were police. The alarm sounded again and Lewis, who was wearing all black, came running out of the back door in front of Fritz's patrol car, records show.
Fritz ordered Lewis to get on the ground, but the man kept running. Fritz chased after Lewis and caught up to him about 30 yards away, taking him to the ground. Lewis began fighting with the officer and allegedly grabbed and pulled at Fritz's gun belt, records show.
The officer, who felt Lewis was attempting to disarm him, pushed the man away and Lewis began to run towards the woods. Fritz pulled his Taser out and fired its darts into Lewis' back, but the non-lethal weapon had no effect on Lewis. Fritz attempted to run beside Lewis to "drive stun" him, but the Taser still didn't have any effect on the fleeing suspect, records show.
Lewis continued to run from the officer until they reached the nearby woodline. Fritz tackled Lewis again, and the man allegedly attempted to reach back and pull on the officer's gun. Fritz, fearful for his life, grabbed Lewis around his neck to try to gain control of him. Lewis allegedly grabbed a magazine from the officer's gun belt and swung it at Fritz. The officer was able to knock the magazine out of Lewis' hand, but the man allegedly continued to fight with Fritz, elbowed the officer and grabbed at him. Fritz's glasses and name tag were ripped off during the struggle, records show.
Patrolman Craig Richmond and Ruffner arrived at the scene and helped Fritz place Lewis under arrest. Officers from the Martinsburg City Police Department, Berkeley County Sheriff's Department and West Virginia State Police got Lewis up and patted him down. A pocket knife was found in his pocket. Officers removed the Taser probes from Lewis' back, and he was transported back to the Martinsburg City Police Department for processing, records show.
Police later obtained a written statement from the key holder for the Family Dollar store. He said that he and his employees shut the lights off in the store at about 8:50 p.m. and walked around the store to make sure no one was inside before closing. He said they also yelled "is there anyone in here?," but no one answered. He and his employees proceeded to performed other closing duties before leaving the store at about 9:15 p.m., records show.
He was on his way home when he got the call about the burglar alarm. The key holder arrived back at the store at about 9:40 p.m., at which time police told him there was someone inside the store, records show.
As of Tuesday, Lewis was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $100,000 bail.

MARTINSBURG - A Hedgesville man who allegedly threatened three people with a sawed-off shotgun was arraigned Monday on warrants charging him with wanton endangerment with a firearm, brandishing and battery.
As of Tuesday, Dillon A. Nusbaum, 19, of McCoys Ferry Road, was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $35,000 bail.
According to court records, on Sunday, Berkeley County Sheriff's Deputy J.M. Whitehead and other police units responded to a call reporting a disturbance in progress with a gun at the corner of Dinner Belle Court and McCoys Ferry Road. Whitehead spoke with one of the victims, who said she, her boyfriend and her 15-year-old daughter were all at the river access getting ready to leave when somebody threw a rock at their vehicle. They stopped to check the damage and saw a blue sports utility vehicle by them. One of the occupants of the SUV, later identified as Nusbaum, got out of the vehicle and pulled out a sawed-off shotgun, racking the pump and allegedly stating "Does somebody want to get shot tonight?" records show.

Dillon A. Nusbaum
The victims went to the intersection of Dinner Belle Court and McCoys Ferry Road to call police. While police were on their way to the scene, the 15-year-old victim and the male victim tried to find the suspect's vehicle. While Whitehead was at the scene talking to the 15-year-old's mother, other deputies began searching for the blue SUV. At that time, the 15-year-old victim ran up screaming that the gunman had found her again, held her with his arm around her neck in a choke hold, put the gun into her back and stated he was going to kill her, records show.
The 15-year-old said the gunman heard the sirens from the police cruisers and fled into the woods. Officers spoke with neighbors, who directed them to where Nusbaum lived. When police went to his residence, they were greeted by a woman who said she didn't know Nusbaum and that he wasn't home, records show.
Another deputy went behind the residence and saw Nusbaum through a window of the house. Police asked Nusbaum what happened. He said he had been in the house all day and didn't know of anything.
Article Map
One of the victims was brought to the house, who positively identified Nusbaum as the man who had the gun. Police also were shown where the suspect ran into the woods. As police were searching the woods for the gun, a neighbor approached them and said he knew where it was because Nusbaum told him where he threw it.
Police went to the area and found a black sawed-off shotgun, records show.
Nusbaum was arrested and transported to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department for processing. He was later transported to the Eastern Regional Jail to await arraignment.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
A superstar in his native Senegal, spiritual pop singer Baaba Maal was not even born to be a performer -- in West African culture, tradition dictates that the ancient griot caste must produce the singers and storytellers, and Maal was born in the city of Podor in 1953 into the fisherman's caste. Despite his parents' insistence that he become a lawyer, he grew up surrounded by music, absorbing both the traditional sounds of the region as well as American R&B and soul, later discovering jazz and blues. As a teen Maal moved to Dakar, joining the 70-piece orchestra Asly Fouta and teaming with his guitarist friend Mansour Seck to form the group Lasli Fouta; during the early '80s, the duo also spent several years in Paris, where they recorded the 1984 album Djam Leelii. Upon returning to Senegal, Maal formed the group Daande Lenol -- literally, "The Voice of the Race" -- and began honing a highly distinctive sound fusing traditional African music with elements of pop and reggae; in 1988 he issued the LP Wango, the first in a series of highly successful albums which also included 1991's Baayo, 1992's Lam Toro, and 1994's Firin' in Fouta. In 1998, Maal released Nomad Soul; the first recording on Chris Blackwell's new Palm Pictures label, it featured cameos by Brian Eno, Howie B., and others. Jombaajo appeared in 2000, followed by Missing You in 2001 and Television in 2009, all on Palm.

Money touches every aspect of our lives and occupies our daily thoughts.
When our thoughts about money turn negative, I call them �money shadows.� Psychologist Carl Jung popularized the term �shadow,� which means a belief about yourself that you hide, repress or deny. Very often these beliefs are negative judgments.
So our negative thoughts about money aren�t really about money at all: They are reflections of the negative beliefs we have about ourselves.
The sources of these shadows are emotional wounds we experienced as children. Yes, each of us has experienced events that caused us to create negative beliefs about ourselves.
Some common shadows are: �I�m not worthy of love or attention,� �I don�t matter,� �I don�t deserve success� and, one of my personal shadows, �I�m stupid.�
Money is a powerful trigger for shadows because of the power it has in our culture. For most people, money has come to mean more than its dictionary definition of something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value or a means of payment.
In our culture, money and the things money can buy have become equated with security, power, beauty, social acceptance, sex appeal and success. It�s easy for our financial challenges and missteps to trigger shadows.
For example, if someone has the shadow of not being worthy of love or attention and equates money with social acceptance, any negative financial change may cause that person to feel excluded or unworthy.
Or, a person who doubts his ability to succeed and equates money with power may be paralyzed by fear when it comes to seeking a promotion or advocating for a raise.
Shadow beliefs can create a cycle of stress and unhappiness: When they block you from getting what you value because you feel inherently unworthy, you are unlikely to attain what you want, and you will feel even more unworthy.
But there is a way out of the cycle, and these steps can help:
Listen to those gremlins of negative self-talk. Don�t believe them, but become familiar with what they say. They will begin to reveal your shadows.
Make time to talk with your partner or a close friend, and share your shadows. They seem to have less of a hold on us when we shine some light them.
Make a list of what money � and the things it can buy � means to you. Be honest with yourself, you don�t have to show the list to anyone.
Make a list of what�s most important to you in your life.
Think about your financial behavior, and see if your actions are being driven by your shadows or what�s most important in your life.
Take action to bring your behavior into alignment with what�s most important to you.
Becoming conscious of your underlying beliefs about yourself and money, and it will make you a better consumer and a better manager of your money. And, more importantly, consciousness will decrease your stress and increase your happiness.

Three members and three alumni of Nevada Union FFA recently embarked on a journey across the country to the 86th National FFA Convention and Expo.
Maxie Holmberg-Douglas, Ellen Van Noy and Taylor Foster traveled to Louisville, Ky., representing California as national delegates. The 10-day trip as delegates entailed little sleep, nine sessions full of keynote speakers, dancing, talent shows, inspiration, delegate meetings, business sessions and national officers.
Each delegate was put on one of six committees with different topics and was charged with the task of developing and debating new ideas for the future of the national organization.
The delegates also participated in the National Days of Service, each spending a day on different sites around Kentucky, serving kids and families around the world. Some delegates participated in the Kids Against Hunger service project, packaging over 17,000 meals for kids.
After the week-long experience, the delegates traveled to Washington, D.C., to tour the city, go to different monuments and museums, and had the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.
Alumni Kaycee Granholm, Natalie Johnson, and Tayler Figueroa received their American FFA degrees. Seanna Griffis also received the award, but was unable to attend the convention.
The American FFA degree is awarded to members who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment to FFA and made significant accomplishments in their Supervised Agricultural Experiences. Approximately 3,500 American FFA degrees are handed out each year at the National FFA Convention. That number represents less than half of one percent of all FFA members, making it one of the organization's highest honors.
Taylor Foster is a Nevada Union FFA member.

Does that use of the word "blokes" imply the author thought it was unisex? "You guys" has been unisex for ages, and is well-known in BrE, but could "a bunch of British guys" include women? (Of course the word "bunch" somewhat destroys the British flavo(r they were presumably aiming at with "bloody" and "blokes".)

In 2012, she spent 39 days on a beach in Samoa, outwitting her way to the million-dollar prize on Survivor: One World.
And on Saturday, she got an even better prize when she married fiancé Bryan Wolfe on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Surrounded by approximately 30 guests, Spradlin exchanged vows in a casual, boho-chic ceremony.
"We chose a private beach near our hotel," Spradlin tells PEOPLE. "It's by a cove. I just wanted it to feel very organic and natural."
As owner of Bella Bridesmaid in San Antonio, Spradlin had thousands of dresses to choose from. Unable to select just one, she brought two dresses along for the ceremony.
"I really couldn't decide which one to wear," she says. "They're both beautiful." On the day of the wedding, she chose to wear a reworked Catherine Deanne gown. She was barefoot during the ceremony.
"It fits with the vibe of Cabo," she says, "and what I wanted for the wedding."

In her day job, Spradlin has seen other weddings spiral out of control, and was determined not to fall into the same trap.
"A wedding is supposed to be a celebration with the people who are closest to you," she says. "I'm so laid back. I wasn't locked into a white dress or a big ceremony. If it had been important to Bryan, of course I was willing to have a big traditional wedding. But he didn't care, and neither did I. We just wanted to be surrounded by family and a handful of friends for something intimate and special."
On the night before the wedding, Spradlin and her bridesmaids went on a catamaran charter.
"Well, they're not exactly bridesmaids because they're not wearing matching dresses," she says, "but they might as well be. Obviously, I wanted to include my sister, Beth, and my best friend, Cayce. And I also wanted to include some of the girls from Survivor."
Yes, even though she voted them off, she felt comfortable having her fellow contestants at the ceremony – both Rosa and Kat Edorsson attended.
"I walked away from the show feeling very close to everybody," says Spradlin. "I got especially close to these girls, and I couldn't imagine not inviting them to my wedding."
She also invited third-place Chelsea Meissner, but she was unable to attend.
"I can't believe I'm on the beach again with Kim," Alicia Rosa tells PEOPLE. "I haven't been so happy for her since the day she won the million dollars Everything about this weekend had Kim written all over it."
The reception was held beachside at La Hacienda Cocina y Cantina, where guests ate sea bass and ceviche by a roaring campfire.
"I wanted the whole thing to feel like a really cool party. I didn't want people to sit down and feel like they had to mind their p's and q's. So I got a cool band and lanterns, and we just spent the day with people who are important to us," says Spradlin, who plans to honeymoon in Paris in August or September. "I am so happy that I could be surrounded by the people I love."

A Comprehensive Look at Financial Volatility Prediction by Economic Variables

We investigate if asset return volatility is predictable by macroeconomic and financial variables and shed light on the economic drivers of financial volatility. Our approach is distinct due to its comprehensiveness: First, we employ a data-rich forecast methodology to handle a large set of potential predictors in a Bayesian Model Averaging approach, and, second, we take a look at multiple asset classes (equities, foreign exchange, bonds, and commodities) over long time spans. We find that proxies for credit risk and funding (il)liquidity consistently show up as common predictors of volatility across asset classes. Variables capturing time-varying risk premia also perform well as predictors of volatility. While forecasts by macro-finance augmented models also achieve forecasting gains out-of-sample relative to autoregressive benchmarks, the performance varies across asset classes and over time.

Royal Engineer Divers get to grips with life underwater at NDACWednesday, August 17th, 2011
The National Diving & Activity Centre has featured in the latest Edition of Soldier Magazine.
Soldier Magazine visited Royal Engineers that were undertaking their advanced diver training at our Chepstow Scuba Centre. The result was a three page article detailing the training and work the Royal Engineer Divers carry out.
The depth of the NDAC and the numerous onsite resources make our dive centre the perfect location to undertake this kind of training.
Prior to starting the challenging advanced diver training programme at the NDAC, the Sappers passed a selection phase and then completed a basic diving course.
The six-week diver training schedule teaches personnel to master the open space diving system as well as how to operate tools such as hydraulic cutters, breaking equipment and thermal cutting systems.
The Sappers also developed a range of new skills including underwater concreting and advanced reconnaissance, which can be used to locate submerged vehicles in theatre.
In theatre, the diving teams have been doing a variety of work. This includes body recoveries, the salvage of weapons from the bottom of wells or canals and underwater demolition tasks" explains Capt Steve Crosby-Jones (RE), the diving officer who coordinates serials for the basic and advanced courses. "They are a team and asset that are crucial to operations, especially when guys lose equipment such as rifles and radios. – There is no other capability that can recover that kit."
To read the full article, a summary is available on the Soldier Magazine website here> or you can download a PDF here> (PDF 2.5MB)
Soldier magazine is the magazine of the British Army, published for the UK Armed Forces by the Ministry of Defence. Soldier magazine is available for subscription here >
Afraid we can't teach you underwater demolition courses, but for your own Advanced Open Water Diver training why not visit the NDAC Dive School.

Little Rock Sister Cities Commissioner Travels
to China to Build Relationships and Run Half-Marathon
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Sept. 19, 2013) – Continuing to build a relationship with Changchun, China, was enough of a reason for one member of the Little Rock Sister Cities Commission to pay her own way for the long trip overseas, and completing a half-marathon as one of the top international racers was an added bonus.
Misty Borkowski, a Little Rock lawyer who serves on the Sister Cities Commission, made the trip to participate in the Changchun International Sister Cities Half-Marathon on Sept. 15. She said she was concerned about being able to finish in the required time period, but she ended up placing fifth among female international runners.
"Of course, there were only six female runners in the international division," Borkowski laughed. "I'm not a fast runner and was terrified that they have a two-hour limit to finish the race."
Because Changchun race officials had such a special time coming to the Little Rock Marathon in March, they showed their gratitude by not having the race's closing ceremony until after Borkowski completed the race – 24 minutes past the allotted time.
entered, almost all of them were serious runners and belonged to various local running clubs.
Placing fifth in the international female category meant that Borkowski won 800 Yuan (or $120), but the race-day experience was just a small part of the trip to China.
"The relationship that Little Rock has and continues to develop with Changchun was important enough to me that we made the decision that I would pay my own way to Changchun for this race," Borkowski said.
In addition to participating in the half-marathon, Borkowski attended meetings on behalf of the City of Little Rock and the Sister Cities Commission. Her itinerary included meeting with the director of the Emperor's Palace to discuss arranging for a "Last Emperor" exhibition to be hosted in Little Rock.
Borkowski also met with the deputy director of the Justice Department, the chairman of the Attorney's Association, officials from the Changchun Sports Department and Foreign Affairs Office, and two private attorneys from Changchun. As a lawyer, Borkowski had specifically requested the meeting with people in the legal field in order to learn more about China's legal system.
Changchun has been a sister city to Little Rock since 1994.
Anyone interested in participating in the International Sister Cities Half-Marathon in 2014 is encouraged to contact Borkowski via the Little Rock Sister Cities Commission website at lrsistercities.org.

on February 6, 2013 - 12:03 AM
The Amherst Town Board this week approved rezoning a half-acre parcel on Rensch Road near the University at Buffalo for the building of a one-story, seven-unit apartment building.
The developer, Boncrest, had come before the board Jan. 7 to seek rezoning to "multifamily residential" for the 5,300-square-foot project, but board members had questions regarding the minimum square footage requirements. Boncrest responded with revised site plans for the two- and three-bedroom apartments.
The board also approved a resolution by Council Member Guy Marlette to rename and expand the work of the town's "Building Height Review Committee" to include a broader discussion of the context and design of commercial building proposals. The committee will be renamed the "Commercial and Residential District Review Committee."

What does your picture hanging in your living room, singing a Beatles song to your friend, or showing off pictures from your latest museum trip have in common? They are all copyright infringements, according the 1976 Copyright Act. The 1976 Copyright Act set forth that all creative works gained copyright protection, without the need for registration. This overly broad legal train wreck has only gotten more confusing with the entrance of modern digital technology. If you post a picture of a concert are you infringing? If you let your friend listen to your phone to hear part of a song at a concert are you infringing? The answer to both questions according to the 1976 Copyright Act is yes; you are obviously infringing, as you paid no royalties to the creator of the creative work (the musician). John Tehranian, a law professor at the University of Utah, estimates that in an average day, he totals as much as $12.45 million USD in liability. He sees his case as the norm, not as an exception, which is the topic of his new research paper (PDF). According to Tehranian, "We are, technically speaking, a nation of infringers." Tehranian illustrates numerous everyday examples. For example, copying the full text of an email for a response is technically a copyright violation against the writer. Tattoos such as Tehranian's bold Captain Caveman emblem on his shoulder are a thorny issue, which seem to infringe on copyrights. Furthermore, Tehranian states, if he were to take off his shirt at the University pool and go for a swim; his tattoo could be deemed a public performance, racking up even more copyright infringement charges. Tehranian has calculated his year liability -- for everything from the birthday song, to his home decorations -- and has rung up his yearly liability bill and just about $4.5 billion USD. Tehranian does not engage in p2p file sharing as some might wonder upon seeing that tidy sum. Tehranian tries to illustrate that the poor legal language of U.S. copyright law makes nearly everyone in the country civil offenders in a sense. He sees the "vast disparity between copyright law and copyright norms" as a mandate for copyright reform. Tehranian raises many valid points. The key issue is whether there is a point to laws with no enforcement or arbitrary enforcement. This is the current state of copyright law. Big business advocates such as the RIAA, MPAA, and IFPI use the Copyright Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for everything from taking down websites, press charges against site owners, deny publication education funding, and to sue people for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The artist Prince now is even trying to use them to take down YouTube, Ebay, and The Pirate Bay. Meanwhile, people everyday commit hundreds to thousands of equivalent violations, entirely unknowingly. The fact of the matter is that U.S. copyright law today remains a mess of ambiguity and shadows, but has allowed for tremendous legal campaigns against U.S. citizens. Perhaps the U.S. needs to let citizens rewrite the copyright law via wiki, as New Zealand recently did for its new law enforcement guidelines. Whatever its form, copyright reform, however seems far away, and until then -- according to Tehranian -- we are one nation united by infringement.

There are exceptions though. If you go 56 in a 55 they technically have the right to pull you over and cite you. But it is NOT very likely.

Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)
claim to have developed an inexpensive solar cell that can be painted or
printed on flexible plastic sheets.
In a
release prepared by the University, researcher Somenath Mitra, PhD, stated,
"Someday homeowners will even be able to print sheets of these solar cells
with inexpensive home-based inkjet printers. Consumers can then slap the
finished product on a wall, roof or billboard to create their own power
stations." Mitra
is a professor and acting chair of NJIT's Department of Chemistry and
Environmental Sciences.
Purified silicon, the same core material used for fabricating computer chips,
is required for making conventional photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight
into electricity. The material is costly, difficult to handle and manufacture,
and as a result, it is also subject to shortages. The NJIT research is focused
on replacing purified silicon organic solar cells based on polymers.
Not only would such materials be vastly cheaper than
silicon-based PV cells, they would also be significantly easier to use in a
variety of ways. "Imagine someday driving in your hybrid car with a solar
panel painted on the roof, which is producing electricity to drive the engine.
The opportunities are endless," Mitra said.
The solar cell developed at NJIT uses a carbon nanotubes complex, combined with
carbon "Buckyballs," or fullerenes. Together, these nanomaterials
form snake-like structures using Buckyballs to trap electrons generated by
polymers exposed to sunlight. Nanotubes are used to conduct the electrons,
creating a flowing current.
Details of the process were described in the article "Fullerene
single wall carbon nanotube complex for polymer bulk heterojunction
photovoltaic cells," recently published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Rock Run drilling still a big question
March 24, 2013
RALSTON — Drilling for natural gas in the Rock Run area of McIntyre Township still may happen. Then again, maybe no....
Trust me if there is gas, THEY WILL "DRILL"!
7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
They own 50% of the mineral rights. I think the DCNR is doing a good job keeping them out. So an out of state company owns the mineral rights? Just how is the state going to benefit on this?

Trust me......there is gas there!

If the DCNR strictly limit or prohibit surface disturbances within forest, watersheds etc, these "backroom negotiations" should not even be being discussed.
The DEP has a list of violations that suggest Anadarko Petroleum has problems following the rules established to protect us.

Does anyone else find it disturbing the township is not aware of what is going on in their own township? And you want us to trust this industry. And Bornhere is correct, this company does not follow rules.
10 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Just once the State must say, "Any place, but not this place." "Not here, Not now, Not ever." Can we realize that this area is so special, that it must not be violated. Is money and greed so powerful that we can't save just one place? If we can't save something as beautiful as Rock Run, then give up. You won't be able to save any place after that.
10 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The industry was welcomed by the politicians and most of the people in this area. They should have been stopped them back then, they now have their tentacles latched. I am still waiting on how the state will benefit on this since 50% of the mineral rights are owned by an out of state company.

rick, The DCNR has legal rights to stop or minimize any development in Rock Run, and no one is going to benefit from this if it is left up to the Corbett Administration except the Gas Industry. Remember Politics and Money.

oh its all about the money.. it doesnt matter if its state game land or not. if theres money offered, enough money. they do not care what naturalists want.. if dcnr has the rights to this place, and we the people want it kept that way, it should stay that way NO DRILLING.. go drill somewhere else.

IF this is all so safe, doesn't hurt the enviroment, doesn't destroy the beauty around it, and benefits the citizens of the US, they why don't the put a gas well pad on the White House lawn?
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I understand that leases have expiration dates and that work must begin prior to the expiration date BUT... 1) If the technology is improving SO quickly and 2) the gas is worth nearly nothing now and 3) the citizens are receiving no benefit from the drilling of our resources;
I propose that gas drilling on state land be stalled until we citizens see a real return on investment. Why can't the drillers wait until they can send laterals 15,000 feet and access all of the gas with near zero surface impact? Why drill now when perhaps in 50 years the gas will be worth 10-20 times more than today? Where is the royalty money for drilling under DCNR land anyhow? Why is the governor in such haste to sell off commonwealth assets when the GAS ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE? Gas can't run away while we slow down and decide what's best.
My rhetorical questions will go unanswered. The real answer is simple. A money grab of a common resource for a bright energy independent future!

Why haven't we tax paying citizens of PA seen any rewards from all the lease monies already paid for the state land that was leased for over $4000 per acre? Why haven't our taxes been decreased from rendells promised gaming revenue?

on February 4, 2013 - 7:11 AM
, updated February 4, 2013 at 7:18 AM
Sixty Pomeranian dogs remained kenneled inside the home of a Town of Lockport dog breeder on Sunday after the human occupants had been forced to leave the condemned structure a day earlier.
"They're still in the home," said Barry Kobrin, the town's dog control officer, who was visiting the home on South Royal Parkway periodically to care for the dogs. As for their condition, he said: "They're not bad. They're healthy, as far as I can see."
"Certainly, every one of them needs to be looked at," Kobrin said.
Preparations were under way at the Niagara County SPCA to accept the dogs today.
Meanwhile, Elly Magrum, 50, who runs Royal Canine Express Royal Poms out of the home, is scheduled to appear Tuesday evening in Lockport Town Court. She was charged with four violations of the town code: harboring dogs, unlicensed dogs, failure to license dogs and excessive barking.
Magrum and her family reportedly are staying with relatives.
The dogs were discovered Saturday afternoon by a Niagara County sheriff's deputy and a state trooper investigating an unrelated complaint involving a juvenile.
"When they were investigating ... they were overcome with the smell of urine and feces in the house," said Sgt. Gary May of the Sheriff's Office. No criminal charges were filed, he said, though additional charges are pending action by the Town of Lockport and the SPCA.
The address has a history of citations for excessive barking, Kobrin said.
Neighbors said they often heard dogs barking but had no idea there were so many in the house.
"We knew they had dogs there. We didn't know they had 60," said Nick Cavalieri.
He said the odors from the dogs and dog feces were more noticeable in the summer. The odor and the barking made it uncomfortable for adjacent neighbors to enjoy their yards, despite the wooden fence surrounding the Magrum's backyard.
Cavalieri said he went to the Magrums' house one time and took several steps back when the door was opened.
"Their house reeks," he said.
Neighbors made complaints to the town, they said, but the situation never seemed to improve.
"I couldn't believe there were 60 dogs in there," said one neighbor, who said only three or four dogs were seen at a time.
The split-level house, built in 1980, now has a bright pink notice of condemnation on the front door.
Brian Belson, the town's senior housing inspector, did not return a call seeking comment Sunday.
"It's uninhabitable by the residents," Kobrin said.
"It's condemned because of the smell. It's overcrowded," he said. "There may be disease there."
The dogs range in age from newborns – the breeder's website advertises some puppies born Dec. 27 – to 7 years old, Kobrin said.
They're confined in kennels throughout the house, with the exception of the bathroom and bedrooms.
In a "nursery" room, seven female dogs with their litters are housed in separate kennels.
According to the breeder's website, dogs are offered for sale at prices ranging from $200 to $900, plus shipping charges of up to several hundred dollars.
The site advertises "quality AKC (American Kennel Club) Pomerians" and notes an additional charge of $200 to $400 for "full AKC" dogs. An affiliation between the breeder and the American Kennel Club could not immediately be confirmed, however.
Kobrin said it's an unfortunate situation.
"To her, it's a business. To me, it's a mill," he said.

EAST LIVERPOOL-With a 5-5 record, East Liverpool may not have had a standout football team last fall, but the Potters did boast a pair of fine two-way players in Zack English and John Miscuk.
On offense, English-in his first year at tailback-had a 1,000 yard rushing season with Miscuk paving the way at fullback. On defense, Miscuk wreaked havoc from his linebacker spot, while English roamed the secondary and finished the year with four interceptions.
The duo will get one last chance to leave their mark in the 35th annual Penn-Ohio Stateline Classic Friday at Springfield High School.
"I wish we would have done better last year, but it was fun playing with Zack," Miscuk said. "He's very talented. He really broke out in his senior year."
English carved a winding path to Friday's game.
As a freshman, he was admittedly not enthusiastic about working out and decided not to play his sophomore year, opting for soccer instead.
"I was really little as a freshman," said the 6-foot-1, 160-pound English. "I didn't really want to lift weights or do any of the extra work I needed to get bigger and stronger."
A year away from the game renewed English's hunger and he was back on the football field as a junior, playing at wideout.
"Playing soccer, I found out that I liked football a lot better," English said. "I started working a lot harder my junior year."
English was converted to tailback for his senior season and blossomed, eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark in the final game of the season against Weirton. His 274 yards in that game is the third highest single-game rushing total in school history.
"The coaches really pushed me hard this year," English said. "The hard work paid off."
Miscuk provided a steady presence during his three years as a starter. Though he never started for a winning team, Miscuk still exits East Liverpool with plenty of memories.
"I just loved going out there every week and competing," Miscuk said. "I loved going after the quarterback the most. There was nothing like blitzing and getting a sack."
Both Miscuk and English agreed that playing Beaver Local stood out more than any other game on the schedule. The two enjoyed looking back at the Potters 20-16 win over the Beavers last fall which snapped a two-game losing streak to their rivals.
"That was the biggest game of the year for us," English said. "They've always been a rival for us. We were fired up to play them. I'll always remember being on defense when we stopped them to win the game."
"The Beaver Local game always had a different feel than the other games," Miscuk said. "The preparation was always intense. They were making a comeback in the fourth quarter of last year's game. I was able to make a couple of key tackles late in the game that helped us out."
Miscuk will continue his football career past Friday night when he plays at Notre Dame College in Cleveland this fall.
"I'm excited," said Miscuk-who will major in accounting. "I'm going there to get my education first, but the football experience should be great too."
Meanwhile, English -who is attending Eastern Gateway Community College-will take the field for the final time on Friday.
"I had a great time playing on the varsity these last two years," English said. "John was a great guy to play with. Playing with him in this game is a good way to go out."

Mount Pleasant Performing Arts Company, under the direction of Larisa Dahabi, presented the ballet Etudes in their Spring Concert at the Sottile Theater. The ballet, which is choreographer's tribute to the dancer, is a representation of the work that must be accomplished by young dancers throughout the long and difficult preparatory years. MPPC's performance of the ballet showcased the talent of their dancers beginning with exercises at the barre and then at center stage where a kaleidoscope of dancers performed difficult repertoire with grace and a confident attitude that earned them robust applauses from the audience. Their next performance will be Beauty and the Beast on August 17th and 18th at Sottile Theatre. See more photos online at www.MoultrieNews.com.
