CHARLESTON - It was a different year, but the result was the same here Saturday morning inside the Charleston Civic Center during the Class AA state championship volleyball match.

The Oak Glen volleyball team won its second straight state title on Saturday in Charleston. (Submitted photo)
Veteran Oak Glen head coach Ethel Riser's Golden Bears (40-6) successfully defended their state crown by once again knocking off Ritchie County - 25-16, 25-16 and 25-19.
"It feels wonderful," Riser said. "We haven't won back-to-back since 1997-98. We wanted to prove that we could do it. I knew they had it in them. They had the talent and the will to win and just came out determinted today. They wanted it 1, 2, 3 and they got it."
First-year Ritchie County head coach Melanie Allender's Rebels (26-14) had two dozen unforced errors in the first two sets and despite getting a match-high 13 kills from Kenna DeLancey the seasoned Golden Bears were just too much.

All-tournament team: George Washington -- Lexi Mourier, Sydney Downey, Hannah Shreve; Musselman -- Taylor Lord, Corisha Smith, Kaitlin Ferretti; Spring Valley -- Brittany Ritter, Kendra Pemberton; Parkersburg -- Imani Ward
Although the Rebels stormed out to a 4-0 cushion in the opening set behind two DeLancey kills and one downed spike apiece from Leah Kuhn and Cassidy Ray, once the Golden Bears took the lead for good at 12-11 on a Vanessa Hissam kill, Ritchie County didn't get another advantage until 13-12 in set three via a DeLancey smash from one of Olivia Haught's match-high 25 assists.
Although Rebel Vanessa Tallman's service point put the Golden Bears behind 14-12 in the third set, Oak Glen fought back thanks to the play of Morgan Poling and Lacee Porter. A Rebel attack error actually gave Oak Glen the lead for good at 17-16, but that increased to 18-16 when Jessica Stivason put one down. Hissam later added two kills, Abby Tice had an ace and it was 23-18 Golden Bears after Porter's eighth and final kill of the match.
Kaitlyn Smith, who joined Tice, Porter and Poling on the all-tournament team, was credited with match point at the service line when Poling collected her 10th kill from Carissa Williams' sixth assist. Poling added six blocks and Hissam also finished with 10 downed spikes.
"The seniors wanted it so bad. We had too many errors. We just didn't click," said coach Allender, whose team received match-highs of 21 digs from Tallman and seven blocks by Tristin Toman.
"We work hard every day," said coach Riser, whose team didn't lose a match this year to double-A competition. "They are a close knit team and that has to be a major part of it. Now, we're going for three in a row."
Oak Glen, which also got 17 points, 13 assists and two aces from Sydney Kell, picked up the sportsmanship award. Tice added 11 digs while Madison Juszczak and Jessia Hutton combined for three kills.
Asked where this state title ranks with the four others Oak Glen has won, Riser said it's right up there.
"They're all different,"?she said. "But this one is up there with the best. I'm going to miss our four seniors. I've watched them grow over the past four years.
"We got four on the all-tournament team. That is almost unheard of. I congratulated all of them, but it could've been anyone on the team. It was a total team effort."
Ray, Toman and DeLancey also collected all-tournament nods along with Lauren Young of Nicholas County and Philip Barbour's Sydney Curtis.
In the finals setback for the Rebels, Amanda Davis added 11 digs, two points, a pair of kills, six blocks and three assists. Janessa Adams contributed seven points and five digs while Veronica Mueller had four points, two aces and 14 digs.

The Opposable, Not Disposable Thumb
Sat in the corner, eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum...
Just to take our minds off the train wreck that the 2010 season has become, I'm going to tangent into just what made Aramis Ramirez so miserable this year. His left thumb injury (diagnosed as a deep bone bruise) may or not have been related to his season long slump or it just may have prevented him from coming out of it as the weather warmed up. He's been 'missing', even when present for most of 2010 which is somewhat different than his absence last season, starting on May 9th, 2009 from what happened at a similar point in the season, when he dislocated his left shoulder diving for a ball on May 8th in Milwaukee.
From a Gordon Wittenmeyer, Sun-Times article:
Ramirez, mired in a two-month slump, first hurt the hand on a swing-and-miss May 9 in Cincinnati. When it got worse two weeks later, the Cubs considered putting him on the DL, ''but I didn't want to do it because I thought I was good enough to play,'' said Ramirez, who got a cortisone shot instead. Manipulating his bat handle to take pressure off the top of the left hand also didn't work because it was uncomfortable, he said.
''This is the right time to do it. This is the right thing to do,'' he said.
He'll be eligible to return June 23 in Seattle, but a return then is anything but certain considering the down time that'll require before he is even allowed to resume normal baseball activities.
Supposedly, his injury was a deep bone bruise. I have not read any reports about an injured ligament. He has tried to play through the soreness but his thumb kept getting re-traumatized from his attempts at hitting. He didn't want to go on the DL until it was clear he couldn't shake the injury.
This does remind me of the way the Cubs handled Soriano's knee problems last year. Supposedly Soriano's knee was injured around April 22nd but he/they kept playing him with an injury that wasn't dramatic enough to take him out of the lineup. It took months of underperformance compared to his career stats (.241/.303/.423/.726 vs. .278/.327/ .511/.838) to finally acknowledge it was his knee that was the problem. Maybe they learned something, since it took only a month of struggling with this Ramirez injury before he hit the DL vs. Soriano's 4 month struggle. I believe that some of these situations develop because a team can not put a player on the DL unless he agrees or the team gets the medical staff to document that it's not medically advisable for a player to be on the field. Hockey-like warrior mentality doesn't seem to work in modern baseball, at least not as far as the Cubs are concerned.
The opposable thumb may have been, regarding humanity, the single most important evolutionary development.
When the hands developed dexterity advantages, that freed the front limbs from four limb gait. The opposable thumb literally gripped the development of tools, hence civilization and...dare I ultimately conclude, Baseball.
An animal species is said to have opposable thumbs if the thumb is capable of bending in such a way that it can touch all the other digits on the hand. Most species do not have opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs are a signature feature of the primate family, and played a large role in the ancient humans' invention and use of tools.
Thumb anatomy is unique when using comparative anatomy to the other fingers and certainly the human big toe. The thumb can be rotated (opposed) from around 50 degrees at rest to as much as 110 degrees of rotation when in a position of opposition against the other digits.
There are unique sets of muscles and tendons (abductor, adductor, flexor, opponens and interosseus of the thumb) that accomplish thumb opposition. This is a complex of movements that include what is called pronation, radial deviation and adduction/abduction and specific muscles match the individual movements required. The bones at the base of the thumb (first metacarpal, trapezoid and trapezium and proximal to them, the carpal navicular/scaphoid bone) have developed to accomplish this opposible movement and the type of joint is called a sellar joint.
Thumb functions include pinch and grasp but the rotation that opposition creates makes it possible to make grip have advanced functionality. There are three types of pinch grips, key (digit side by side, as in holding a key), tip (the end of the digit, where opposition is possible) and palmar pinch (thumbless grasp).Two aspects of grip help hold a baseball bat, span grip and power grip.
There are many common injuries around the thumb. A bone bruise is just what the term sounds like, it's not a fracture but the injury to the bone involves damaged bone cells without structural disruption. A fracture implies there is a definable structural crack/disruption that bridges one of the bones of the thumb (first metacarpal, proximal and distal phalanx). There are many fracture patterns and if a fracture involves an adjacent joint (CMC, MCP or IP joints), it usually is a more serious problem. If an X-Ray shows a fracture, an MRI isn't often needed but when the X-Ray is normal an MRI can be very helpful. Nowadays, MRI imaging can see signal changes in a bone and adjacent soft tissues (ligaments, joint capsule and tendons) that indicate there is damage to the bone and/or soft tissues. Even a bone bruise sets off a healing reaction until the bone structure returns to normal, essentially a "fracture-lite", but still painful and can last many weeks. Other significant thumb injuries involve soft tissue damage. One well known injury is called Gamekeepers Thumb. It involves a torn or stretched ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpal-phalangeal joint or MCP joint (at the base of the web space, the thumb equivalent of the Tommy John elbow injury). This can be treated conservatively unless the ligament is fully torn or significantly stretched so that the thumb pinch activities become painful. There are surgical repair/reconstruction options when that situation is diagnosed (watch out if you are squeemish, this link is a surgical video).
So when one compares small joint/bone injuries to big joints, Aramis Ramirez has got them covered. If his thumb becomes a lingering problem, the sellar joint of his thumb just might be a major cause of the Cubs entering a seller market.

That maybe true Rob, but come on, let me get this straight. Steve Stone comes out and BLASTS Lou for not playing Colvin. Lou blasts right back, essentially saying Stoney has no idea what he's talking about because he's never managed. Lou then proceeds THE NEXT DAY to start Colvin and talk about how Colvin is going to see some more pt because he's earned it.... Somewhere Steve Stone is laughing to himself, and I don't blame him.

Re: The Opposable, Not Disposable Thumb
Not in your wildest dreams. That said, I too am beginning to believe it's time. I tell you what though, I'd just as soon see Lee, Sori and Fuk gone in July and dust off my 'Wait Till Next Year' T-shirt...(and actually, throw in Z while I'm rebuilding, I'm sick of head cases).
Actually trying to think about the Lou thing for a minute. IF the Rickettses are such huge fans of the game, they no doubt have seen and heard the unwritten rule about managers, that if you fire one sometime mid-season the team often goes on a miraculous tear. That'd also be a lot quicker and easier (although more expensive) than trading the guys I listed above (if that'd even be possible, which it may not).
Makes me wonder just how safe Lou's job may (or may not) be right now.......
(Does anyone have Eric Wedge's number? Or does Ryno take over mid season? They don't go with Trammel, do they??)

So That Happened...

what near-Cubbery....
Re: The Opposable, Not Disposable Thumb
That was a excellent game.
As we get closer to deadline could the cubs ask Lilly about
extension before they try to trade him.
Re: The Opposable, Not Disposable Thumb
Lilly scares me a lot. I don't really understand how he's pitched well the last year or so. Seems to have lost a lot of velocity, and the changeup and curve don't impress me as much either. They'd be better off just seeing what they can get, I think, and being happy that they managed to have him under contract for the best years of his career.
Re: The Opposable, Not Disposable Thumb
Hendry should be on the phone tomorrow trying to trade Lilly. Especially since Jimbo doesn't seem to understand the arbitration/draft pick thing very well. He could try 1-800-RANGERS. I live in Austin, TX and also follow the Rangers in passing. They really need some pitching, surprise, Harden is on the DL and isn't really fitting into the Nolan Ryan mantra of pitching deep into games.
Recent comments
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

|ARPES Provides Direct Evidence of Spin-Wave Coupling
The electronic properties of a metal are determined by the dynamical behavior of its conduction electrons. Conventional band theory accounts for the interaction of the electrons with the static ion lattice. However, coupling to further microscopic degrees of freedom can alter the electron dynamics considerably. For example, "conventional" superconductivity emerges as a result of the electrons' interaction with lattice vibrations (phonons). In magnetic materials, coupling with spin waves (magnons) is also expected. Such interactions may contribute to high-temperature superconductivity in novel materials. Unfortunately, lattice vibrations and spin waves have similar energy scales, hindering detailed study. Researchers have taken a new approach in analyzing the electron bands of ferromagnetic iron. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) provides direct spectroscopic evidence of altered electron mass and energy (quasiparticle formation) in a magnetic solid due to coupling with spin waves.
When conduction electrons interact with excitations in a solid, the electrons become "dressed" by the excitations, forming quasiparticles of increased effective mass. This is reflected in the electron band by a reduction in the slope of the energy–momentum relationship, the slope being inversely proportional to the electron mass. Beyond a characteristic energy scale ω0, determined by the excitation spectrum, the electrons lose their dressing. Spin-wave energies in iron are exceptionally high, making it a good candidate for such studies.
The formation of electronic quasiparticles is best studied by ARPES on sharp surface states. The (110) surface of ferromagnetic iron provides such states with the required metallic character. They overlap in energy with bulk bands of opposite spin, thereby enabling spin-flip scattering processes between them. Samples of high purity were generated by evaporating thick iron films onto a tungsten substrate. ARPES was performed at the Electronic Structure Factory endstation of ALS Beamline 7.0.1.
Band-map data provide the basis of the electron energy analysis. In the raw data of the surface state, the dressed quasiparticle shows up with high intensity, extending beyond 0.1 eV below the Fermi energy, EF. A graph of the dispersion (E vs. k||) of the surface state exhibits a weak "kink" in the region between 0.1 and 0.2 eV below EF. An accurate determination of the peak position and width was obtained from a fit of the momentum spectra. A band corresponding to the noninteracting case (no spin-wave coupling) was obtained by parabolic interpolation between the lowest data points and the Fermi-level crossing, making the kink-like deviation more apparent. This "kink" reflects the interaction experienced by the electrons.
The width of the momentum spectra, also referred to as the imaginary part of the self-energy, ImΣ(ω), reflects scattering processes that become increasingly dominant with increasing (more negative) binding energy. A pronounced increase in the scattering with binding energy saturates at about 160 meV.
The large energy scale of about 160 meV rules out electron–lattice coupling effects, and we are left to consider magnetic excitations. Spin waves (magnons) in ferromagnetic iron are known from inelastic neutron scattering. Both experiment and theory find that, between approximately 100 and 200 meV, there are two magnon branches, one "acoustic" and one "optical," separated by a gap in which sharply defined spin waves do not exist. Assuming that the electrons couple predominantly to the lower, acoustic, branch provides a natural explanation of the observed effect. Independent evidence comes from spin-polarized electron-energy-loss spectroscopy on the iron (110) surface. A loss structure at 170–200 meV is interpreted as the result of exchange scattering by spin waves from spin-down surface states into spin-up bulk states, in very good agreement with the ARPES data. The observations confirm fundamentally that mass enhancement seen by ARPES can result from coupling to magnetic excitations, an important prerequisite for models of high-temperature superconductivity.

Joshua Barber, who was making $9 an hour working part time in a deli, aspired to play professional football, and his first pick was the Buffalo Bills.
The 20-year-old NFL wannabe at first made an honest attempt to telephone then-Bills General Manager Buddy Nix in March, leaving his phone number at one point, according to his defense attorney.
But when his next call got through to Nix, Barber choked and hung up.
From there, though, things got out of hand, and Barber and a friend concocted an elaborate hoax on Nix and the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that got national attention.
It might have seemed amusing and somewhat profitable when Barber and his friend, Nicholas Kaiser, 20, both from Plymouth, Mass., allegedly sold a secret recording of a phone conversation between Nix and Tampa GM Mark Dominik for about $200 to sports website Deadspin, which published it March 12.
But there was nothing to laugh about Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court in Buffalo.
With his mother leading the way, the 5-foot, 8-inch, 225-pound Barber, walked into the courtroom just moments before the session started. Already seated was his friend Kaiser, his dark hair also closely cropped and wearing a red shirt, tie and white trousers. Next to him were his parents, Kevin and Kim.
The two young men sat silently as U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. entered pleas of not guilty to the charges placed against them – illegally intercepting and recording the Nix-Dominik conversation.
The magistrate judge granted Barber free legal representation by federal public defender Marianne Mariano, after the deli clerk said his income could not cover the cost of a private attorney and that his only asset was a 13-year-old Jeep.
Schroeder then released them without bail and ordered them to return to court Aug. 30.
"This is just devastating," defense attorney Rodney O. Personius, who is representing Kaiser, said in explaining how the prank spun out of control. "I think it is also a little overblown."
Barber and his mother refused to speak as they left court, but Personius maintains that it was a wrongheaded prank that did not rise to the level of a federal crime.
"Mr. Barber is of the belief that he has the skills to play in the National Football League and was looking for a tryout with the Buffalo Bills. He called Buddy Nix and on one occasion left his phone number," Personius said.
In another call, Barber succeeded in getting through to Nix, "but he got cold feet and immediately hung up," the attorney said. Soon after, though, the prank was afoot.
"It was a perfect storm," Personius said of the unlikely chance that Nix would call Barber's phone number at the same time the two defendants were phone-pranking Dominik.
At Plymouth South High School in Massachusetts, records show that Barber, No. 42, played four games as an offensive and defensive lineman in the 2008-09 football season but was not a standout player, according to an official at the school. "I don't recall him," varsity football coach Scott Fry told The Buffalo News. "He may have played."
When Personius was asked whether he will pursue a plea deal, which was encouraged by Schroeder to save taxpayers money, the lawyer said that was certainly an option.
Personius cited weaknesses in the 1968 statute that Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo has invoked against the defendants.
"At the time the law was adopted, the technology of today was 'Jetsons' technology," Personius said of the futuristic 1960s cartoon show. "I don't think that statute contemplated what exists today, so how can it be applicable?"
If convicted of the charges, Barber and Kaiser could face up to five years in prison and a fine of $500,000.
Nix, who announced last month he was leaving the Bills GM post and taking an advisory role with the team, was not in the courtroom.

Erie women charged with having stolen SUV
Two Erie women were jailed this morning after city police said they caught them in a stolen sport utility vehicle.
Alexandra L. Robinson, 18, of the 1200 block of East 28th Street, and Felisha H. Martinez, 18, of the 1700 block of Liberty Street, were each arraigned this morning by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak on a felony count of receiving stolen property. They each were placed in the Erie County Prison on $15,000 bond.
Police said they caught Robinson and Martinez at about 3:30 a.m. today in a Toyota Highlander that was reported stolen from behind a residence in the 300 block of West 22nd Street Monday night.
Officers learned after the apprehensions that Robinson was wanted by juvenile probation in Mercer County, police said this morning.

Friday, May 17, 2013
It's high tide at six a.m. and I am looking out over the tidal marshes of Ralston Creek on the edge of a fairway at Daniel Island Golf Club.
The neon green of cypress trees contrasts with the deep emerald glow of magnolias in the soft light of false dawn as they stand sentinel along freshwater ponds and lagoons. Flashes of bright blue and red dart in and out of the bushes and trees; numerous birds are eager for the day to get underway.
Uncharacteristically, several deer are peering out of the darkness - normally they bound off when a human comes anywhere close in proximity. I come upon a hollow in which a fawn has been sleeping. Blinking sleep out of bleary eyes, it approaches me to nuzzle at my knee.
As I raise my camera it suddenly realizes that I might not be its mother, so it backs up, shakes its head and looks up at me again. Bleating indignantly it hastens a retreat, but over-sized legs get tangled and soon it takes a spill and tumbles in the grass. Quickly back to its feet, it melts off into the wood with the others who await. Were it not for the photos I had taken of the episode, I might not have been sure it happened.
Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 2006, this course feels like it has been here many decades. Centuries old live oaks draped with Spanish moss dot the fairways, and many recently planted trees will provide the same majestic beauty for generations to come. Where there are houses they are buffered from the course by green areas and ponds, and the ample cart paths and bridges are all in meticulously good repair as is everything else on the course.
Much of the course is open to the east and north, with banks of gnarled scrub oaks and palmettos overlooking Ralston Creek toward the Wando River. In several spots you can see for miles out across the tidal estuaries dotted with undisturbed islands and atolls.
All manner of ocean life makes its way into these creeks – a few months ago the GPS tracking locator on a two ton great white shark showed it visited these creeks.
The management at Daniel Island recently did the work necessary to become an Audubon Certified Sanctuary. In order to obtain this, certain standards must be met. These extend to water conservation and quality management, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and educational programs and reduction of chemical usage.
The efforts show as this has become a pristine example of what attracts us all to reside here in the Lowcountry. And you do not have to be a resident of Daniel Island to join the golf club. Mount Pleasant residents can join as well, and there is a National Membership program available that includes discounted accommodations for those living more than 75 miles away.

The federal government has charged the Altoona Housing Authority with racial discrimination for applying tighter eviction standards for a black resident than for whites.
The authority denies the charges filed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of Freda Neely and plans to defend itself.
In 2009, Altoona police cited Neely for disorderly conduct for "screaming and yelling and using obscene language [and] causing public alarm" in an altercation with a neighbor.
Shortly afterward, the authority moved to evict her from Fairview Hills without permitting a grievance hearing, based on a policy that doesn't allow one if there's a charge of criminal activity that threatens the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment by authority residents, according to HUD's charging document.
Neely filed a discrimination complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and HUD, which has uncovered the cases of three white tenants the authority treated with more leniency, according to the charging documents - which allege violations of the Fair Housing Act.
Authority Executive Director Cheryl Johns said she disagrees "completely with what [HUD] came up with."
"It's ludicrous," said authority member Scott Brown. "Polite language fails me."
HUD filed the charges without giving the authority an opportunity to respond - which it must, according to federal regulations, Johns said.
"It's about due process," she said.
Handling of other cases
The quick move to evict Neely contrasts with the case of three white tenants, according to HUD.
Tenant A was involved in six separate disturbances between 2008 and September 2011 before the authority moved to evict - and then only after the Human Relations Commission questioned why Tenant A was being treated more favorably than Neely, according to HUD. Even then, when the authority moved to evict, it offered Tenant A a grievance hearing, according to HUD.
Tenant A made inappropriate sexual advances to a housing authority employee; harassed her boyfriend while under the influence of alcohol, according to the boyfriend, who called police; yelled, screamed and hit her parents outside her apartment, according to a neighbor who called police; pleaded guilty to public drunkenness and disorderly conduct outside her unit; had an unauthorized person living in her unit who caused a disturbance; and punched holes in the wall of her unit, according to allegations made in a call to police, stated HUD.
Tenant B was involved in two disturbances in 2009, one in which she, her boyfriend and her brother threatened the parents of a child around whose neck her own child had placed his hands; and the other in which she called a neighbor who came out for a cigarette a derogatory name and told her to "go back into [expletive] house," according to HUD.
The authority didn't move to evict for either incident.
Tenant C was involved in three incidents in 2008 - a loud party and two screaming altercations, all of which led police to show up, with no move to evict, according to HUD.
Seeking damages
In addition to forcing Neely to move to a more expensive apartment, the authority eliminated her from its Section 8 waiting list and caused her to spend "time and resources," while causing "depression, stomach problems, loss of sleep, headaches, loss of appetite, anger, discouragement, nervousness" and sadness, HUD stated.
HUD wants damages, a civil penalty, an order to desist and "any additional relief as may be appropriate."
"We try to make the victim who was discriminated against whole," said Melody Taylor-Blancher, Mid-Atlantic regional director of HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, who spoke to the Mirror by phone.
The other side
Johns countered, saying the charges are baseless, because the authority doesn't favor whites over blacks.
She said she "runs a tight ship" and doesn't want drug dealers or criminals on her properties.
"[But] we follow procedures," she said. "I don't care what race you are or what nationality."
Her vigilance against crime has been successful, so that her properties don't have the "issues that the surrounding neighborhoods have," she said.
Neely's situation was a "one-strike" offense, she said.
According to the police report, Neely confronted a neighbor outside his house, screaming at him and demanding to see his girlfriend, who was inside, because Neely heard the girlfriend was spreading rumors that Neely was selling prescription pain meds for profit.
The man said Neely's assertions weren't true and he went back into his house, seeking to defuse the situation, according to the police report.
Neely followed him to his door, screaming, then pressed her face to the screen. Police said when she saw the girlfriend inside, she screamed at her repeatedly to come outside and also called her derogatory names.
When Neely saw the girlfriend calling police, she backed away from the door and yelled more profanities, police said.
Questioned by police, Neely admitted confronting the girlfriend but denied using profanity.
An independent witness confirmed what Neely said, according to the report.
Court a possibility
An administrative law judge from HUD will hear the case, with HUD lawyers prosecuting, unless one side asks for it to go to federal court, where the opportunity for prosecution would go to the U.S. Attorney's office in Pittsburgh, according to authority solicitor William Haberstroh.
Placing the case in federal court would allow for discovery and depositions, he said.
The authority board is weighing whether to ask for the transfer.
Haberstroh has made a recommendation but didn't say what it was.
In either venue, a judge would try to get the sides to conciliate, according to Taylor-Blancher. The standard of proof would be proof beyond a reasonable doubt, she said.
HUD wants to ensure the alleged discrimination
doesn't happen again and would likely seek an order for staff training, Taylor-Blancher said.
Changes in the wake
Pam Brazle - named by HUD as an individual defendant along with the authority as a whole - issued the eviction notice. She was manager of Fairview Hills at the time of the incident that led to the disorderly conduct charge against Neely, according to Haberstroh and Johns. She's now manager of the authority's Pleasant Village development, but moved there by her own choice, which had nothing to do with the Neely matter, Johns said.
Insurance has not covered the authority's costs, because the officers and directors' liability policy in effect at the time of the incident that led to the disorderly conduct charge - and also at the time of another incident that led to a case now in federal court - didn't cover discrimination, Haberstroh said.
That shortcoming was something no one at the authority realized at the time, officials said previously.
The authority has since changed insurance carriers to one that covers discrimination.
The authority wasn't able to come up with exactly how much it's spent so far on the Neely case, estimating it at "thousands of dollars," Johns said.
Haberstroh has been handling the Neely case, although the authority is evaluating whether that should continue, he said.
Neely declined comment.
The Neely case is one of 44 in the nation brought in fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30, Taylor-Blancher said.
HUD is also looking into another case involving the authority, but can't talk about it yet, because the investigation is ongoing, Taylor-Blancher said.
Asked if she thought the alleged discrimination in the Neely case was egregious, Taylor-Blancher said, "At the point where anyone's rights are violated and there isn't equal opportunity, that is egregious."

Light sources such as the ALS have opened up research frontiers that may hold the answers to fundamental questions about structure and dynamics in AMO physics. The advanced spectroscopies that have been developed here provide the ability to control and probe atomic and molecular processes with unprecedented precision. In particular, the spectral resolution, brightness, broad tunability, and polarization control generate novel avenues for the study of tailored states, inner-shell processes, and nonperturbative electron interactions. Driven by the high brightness of the ALS, a whole new world of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and soft x-ray physics has emerged through the development of combined techniques to excite, select, and probe atoms, molecules, and clusters.
"Accelerator physics" encompasses research generated by and for the ALS machinery itself (including not just the accelerator, but also the storage ring, bending magnets, insertion devices, beamlines and more). The ALS operating schedule includes ample time for the resident accelerator physicists to not only improve on beam delivery to users, but also to explore new modes of operation and envision the possibilities for a next-generation light source.

A year after Microsoft
killed the much-anticipated Courier tablet project, PC World reports that the entire team responsible for the project, Pioneer
Studios, has
Although Courier was never an official Microsoft
product, the design and concept behind the dual-screen hinged tablet garnered a
lot of enthusiasm. (Note: Sony is
expected to launch a tablet with a similar form factor in the near future.)
Pioneer Studios' Seattle office closed a year
after J Allard, a former top designer at Microsoft credited with founding
Pioneer, left the company. Pioneer cofounder, George Petschnigg, is now listed
as an "entrepreneur" working on an "undisclosed new venture"
on his LinkedIn profile. He was instrumental in securing $20 million in
development funding for the now dead Courier. According to a PC World, he is now at Microsoft's
Startup Business Group.
Other Pioneer Studios employees have also
reportedly left the company or have joined other groups, notably the Startup
Business Group.
In addition to Pioneer, Microsoft has a number of
other incubation groups, including FUSE Labs, the Garage, and the Hardware
Incubation Lab.

Fisker, meanwhile, is taking a more
approach. It is claiming that its slick Karma luxury
plug-in hybrid gets 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers (equivalent to 67.2
mpg U.S.). Fisker reports that the Karma also features low
emissions -- a mere 83 grams per kilometer. Fisker was careful
to back these claims, stating that it adhered to the J2841 emissions
testing methodology developed by the Society of Automotive
Fisker CEO Henrik Fisker brags, "The Fisker
Karma is the future of driving. It proves we can drive
environmentally responsible cars without sacrificing the emotional
things that made us fall in love with cars in the first place."
Karma is anticipated to debut
later this year at a price tag of approximately $87,000.
This places it in direct competition with the Tesla Roadster, but the
sticker price places it in less of a direct competition with the Leaf
and Chevy Volt.
The vehicle features a top speed of 125 mph
and can reach 60 mph (from a stop) in 5.8 seconds. It sports a
2.0 l Turbocharged Ecotec VVT engine, along with two electric motors
for 403 total horsepower. It has a 50 mile all-electric range.
A solar roof option is offered for both recharging the battery pack
and offering climate control, similar to the Prius. The roof
panel is estimated to provide up to half a kilowatt-hour per
Fisker hopes to sell 15,000 of the vehicles a year.
If it can sustain this sales pace, it will save 248 million gallons
of gasoline by 2016, it estimates. Whether it can meet this
objective or not, it's refreshing to see one company taking a more
measured approach to fuel economy claims.
quote: I have a Subaru WRX, it is AWD, has 227 HP with 217 ft-lbs of Torque, I can go 0-60 in 5.4 seconds (perhaps a little faster if I really slip the clutch), I can easily go over 140 MPH (never tried it but know people who have), I've tracked it, autocrossed it, modded the suspension and I bet it can out-handle this porker of a starfish.
quote: Spending a life based on vanity and looks is a futile and senseless practice.
quote: Someone buying a car for $87K+ isn't concerned about the cost.

WHEATFIELD – A Niagara Falls man was charged with felony drunken driving about 2 a.m. Saturday after he was discovered asleep at the wheel of his idling car in the parking lot of a Williams Road gas station Niagara County sheriff's deputies said.
Dennis M. Crittenden, 39, of McKoon Avenue had his license suspended or revoked on seven occasions dating to 2002, for offenses ranging from failure to submit to a breath test to failure to pay child support, deputies said. Crittenden also was charged with felony counts of aggravated unlicensed operation and drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle on the highway.
A clerk from the business contacted authorities initially. Deputies said that wehn they arrived, Crittenden was observed asleep at the wheel, his car stereo blaring, and a bottle of tequila nearby.

I bought one for my Keltec PF9. When it arrived I was shocked by how big it was. It does not even come close to the size of an ordinary cell phone holder, probably twice the size.
To be fair it did seem to be quality made, but I could not get past the size. The folks at Sneaky Pete were super nice and allowed me to return it. If I was considering one I would get the dimensions & cut out a cardboard template to get an idea of the size. Just my two cents.
February 24, 2013, 09:25 AM
Good input - I saw the ad in Am. Rifleman last night.
Just estimating - how oversize are you talking? By an inch or half inch??
February 24, 2013, 11:02 AM
The size of the holster is: 110mm x 159mm x 40mm.
February 24, 2013, 11:06 AM
4.3"x6.25"x1.5" does seem large for a PF9.
I just sent them a contact message for the dimensions of holsters my three small guns. P238, CM9 and XDs.

So far no answer of my size request.
EDIT 2/27/13: Flaky company, IMHO. Don't answer questions. Pfft.

They're too damned big!
March 1, 2013, 06:53 AM
Rut - did you buy one? What gun?
So I got a reply last night. Here is what I asked:
Can you please give me the actual external dimensions of your belt loop holsters for Springfield Armory XDs (45), Sig P238, and Kahr PM9 and CM9?
Hello Paul,
Sorry for the late reply, we are at a trade show with limited access.
The best visual is if you draw a square around your gun, our holsters are no larger than they have to be to carry the gun,
Each holster is specifically made for each gun make , model and configuration.
Did not exactly answer my question. Do they know people think they are too big?
March 1, 2013, 07:21 AM
"Do they know people think they are too big?"
Well, they can't make them smaller than the gun is, can they?
March 1, 2013, 07:26 AM
"Do they know people think they are too big?"
Well, they can't make them smaller than the gun is, can they?
I'm not trying to be a smartdonkey here. So I'm not sure where you are coming from.
Does the Sneaky Pete company have any idea of some of their customer's perceptions? I get the feeling some people perceive the holsters are too voluminous relative to the gun model. I ask for the dimensions for Sneaky Pete holsters for three of my guns. They didn't answer.
March 3, 2013, 12:18 PM
OK. Anna from SneakyPete responded back this AM. She gave me the dimensions and pointed out that they are on the website. Sometimes I'm just going too fast.
Anyway she was great. And I think figured something out. The XDs 45 and the Sig P238 holsters seem sized perfectly. (Assuming the dimensions are outside dimensions). But the Kahr PM9 and CM9 are over by 1/2" to maybe 3/4" on the length - I could see maybe just a few sizes creating some comments by people.
I ordered the one for my XDs 45.
March 3, 2013, 12:20 PM
ok waiting to see what you think of it
March 4, 2013, 09:33 PM
Wow - got a notice. It shipped today. That was quick!!!
March 7, 2013, 08:38 PM
It showed up today.
First of all: Very good and quick service!
The holster is well made. There is an angled muzzle support piece toward the - back, bottom - so to speak. Holds the gun nice. It's not at all too big for my SA XDs - fits perfectly. Fits high, ie better for hiding under a shirt or jacket. It looks kinda big, but only because I know it has a gun inside! Remember the XDs is a .45, not a micro gun.
Think hard and deep about carrying this way, it's not for everyone. It is concealed carry, but it is an external holster. Some situations, outdoors in an OK place or whatever - great. But there are times when you need deep cover, IWB fits that bill.
March 7, 2013, 09:48 PM
thanks much for the review
March 24, 2013, 04:11 PM
I don't know, I really like mine,, yea more of a tablet type of cell phone holster,, But walk in a movie theater, or shopping mall, or grocery store,, Have been alot of places, where open carry would really freak out people,, Mine is for my LC9, Walking around 500 people they don't even notice or probly care,, So works for me,, deep carry is a tegua pancake, with cover shirt,
March 24, 2013, 04:13 PM
The more I wear mine, the more I like it. Never once has anyone noticed it.
April 4, 2013, 09:44 PM
I think I will order one for my P238.
April 6, 2013, 01:21 PM
They're too damned big!
Not to mention being thief magnets.
April 10, 2013, 02:03 PM
I ordered one for a KelTec P3AT which is a very small gun. I opened the package and immediately put it back in the envelope to send back. It wasn't passable in my opinion. I've never seen a cell phone that big. My Kel Tec isn't much bigger than my iphone, but I guess the case added up to just that much more visually. Well made however.
I watched a video on you tube of this guy reviewing it for his XD40 subcompact. It looked like he was carrying a small pizza around on his hip.

COLUMBIA — Connor Shaw watched one hapless rusher tumble past him, stepped up in the pocket, scrambled and found receiver Shaq Roland for a 35-yard touchdown pass on South Carolina's first possession Saturday.
With that, Clemson week officially began.
The No. 12 Gamecocks wasted no time shredding Coastal Carolina. They scored the first 42 points Saturday — all in the first half — before winning 70-10 at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Coastal Carolina entered with an impressive 10-1 record, but the FCS foe couldn't even resemble a minor speed bump along South Carolina's path to rivalry week. The Gamecocks (9-2) led 28-0 after the first quarter.
"We had Coastal Carolina outmanned and outsized," USC coach Steve Spurrier said, citing the obvious. "I'm really proud of our guys, they played well. I didn't know it was going to end up like this. I didn't know we were going to end up with 42 at half."
It wasn't about the score Saturday, though the Gamecocks dropped 70 points on an opponent for the first time in the Spurrier era. It wasn't even about the win, though Shaw's 25th victory made him the all-time winningest quarterback in USC history.
No, Saturday was the final, necessary step before what promises to be one of the biggest rivalry weeks in history.
A top 10 showdown is possible — if not likely — when USC hosts Clemson for a 7 p.m. kickoff on ESPN2. For both teams, there could be BCS bowl game implications. Here are two programs, barely separated by 100 miles, soaring to unprecedented heights.
And they're on a collision course.
"This game is always going to be a big game," Shaw said of the rivalry. "It doesn't matter if we're 6-5, or whatever. It's an in-state rivalry game. The fans and players and coaches know how important this game is."
Clemson didn't have South Carolina's full attention Saturday. At least not yet.
Coastal Carolina stood in the way, but an even bigger game was played Saturday night in Oxford, Miss. Missouri beat Ole Miss to keep a one-game lead over the Gamecocks in the SEC East.
Now, USC needs Mizzou to lose at home against Texas A&M next Saturday to clinch a berth in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 7.
The SEC East title has been USC's goal throughout the season. Right now — and for the next seven days — Clemson will be its target.
The Gamecocks have beaten the Tigers four straight times. Both sides are aware of the streak.
"Of course, I've never lost to Clemson," running back Brandon Wilds said. "So I don't really plan on losing to Clemson."
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney doesn't plan on rolling over and allowing USC to complete its drive for five straight wins without a fight. Several times, he's said nobody wants to beat South Carolina more than him.
Junior cornerback Victor Hampton raised his eyebrows a bit Saturday.
"To me, I always feel like it's a problem if your coach wants to win a game more than your players," Hampton said. "My squad, we're going out there, and we're ready to play. Coach is going to coach, but at the end of the day the players got to play.
"We're going to come out prepared. Our crowd is going to be loud, and I know it's going to be hard to beat us next week."
South Carolina players were asked Saturday if they could match Clemson's motivation. After all, it's the Tigers seniors who have had to hear about losing the biggest game on their schedule four straight years, not the Gamecocks.
Hampton raised his eyebrows at that, too.
"Does anybody have the stats on Clemson's and South Carolina's record?" Hampton asked, standing after his postgame interview underneath Williams-Brice Stadium.
Hampton was informed of what he already knew. Despite USC's recent domination, Clemson leads the all-time series 65-41-8.
"We've won four in a row, but the record looks really bad," Hampton said. "We've still got a lot of motivation and a lot of stuff to do to catch up to those guys."
Clemson week had already begun. With that, it got off on an entertaining note.

Changes needed within DHHR
September 3, 2013
Studies conducted by the Public Works LLC consulting firm have been of great value to West Virginians during the past few year....
DHHR has same problems all other govt entities have; they're being run by incompetent idiots that have always worked in deadbeat govt jobs. Clean house; fire them all; replace. NO ONE should be allowed to stay in a govt job that long; too much "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" takes place after a while. So fire their 'good friends' and keep replacing.

Putting crystal meth in your anus (ass), either in solid form or dissolved in water, resulting in a quick and intense high...and potential anal irritation. Having sex without a condom when you have an irritated rectum increases your chances for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Also, undissolved crystal in your ass can cause a condom to break.
hooping crystal (meth,speed,gak,sideways,fast etc)may cause a tear in the anal lining that can easily go unnoticed. Lowered inhibitions and barebacking (unprotected sex) can make for a risky combination for transmission of HIV and STIs.

Buffalo News special report, Fourth of five parts on the health of Lake Erie
Massive algal blooms covered thousands of square miles on the other end of Lake Erie in 2011. Some warn the next ones could get worse – and closer – unless changes are made.
OREGON, Ohio – They could see it from outer space. When a toxic mat of algae – bright green in color, covering 2,000 square miles – blanketed Lake Erie two summers ago, it stretched from Detroit to Cleveland.
It wasn't just ugly to look at.
It was dangerous.
In the middle of the algae mass was a "dead zone" stretching some 100 miles, which killed everything below where it floated as the decaying algae sucked oxygen from the water.
Toxins filled the water and those of nearby lakes inland, as well.
Who bore the brunt of this sickness-causing phenomenon?
No humans seem to have died, though some got sick. But birds, aquatic life and other animals – even dogs – died after coming into contact with the poison.
The algal bloom receded at the end of that summer, and last year's wasn't as bad. But experts fear that a new toxic algae mass could fill the western end of Lake Erie again this summer, with ripple effects spreading all the way to Buffalo.
That is troubling for everyone – including, it seems, to some of those who may be part of why the toxic episode happens in the first place.
Bill Myers is one of them.
Myers' day-to-day activities on his farm in northwestern Ohio affect the health of Lake Erie – and, by extension, all of those who live in Western New York. Myers knows the way he farms, including his use of phosphorus fertilizer, fuels the presence of dangerous algae in the lake.
Myers acknowledges that.
But, he also knows the problem is bigger than just one man – or an industry.
"Every time you interact with the environment," Myers said, "there are going to be trade-offs."
Not all algae in the lake is bad.
Everyone who has ever walked the shores of Lake Erie remembers seeing sludge – green or brown, slimy or dense – along the edge of the waves.
Usually that is no big deal. Algae can even be a good thing when it provides nutrition for the aquatic life that relies on its presence.
But this toxic algae "bloom" – a name scientists give a proliferation of algae in an area – is different.
Hazards for humans, pets
Created by bacteria, the algal bloom can have seriously adverse effects.
There are thousands of forms of the cynobacteria, of which about 30 are toxic. The predominant form, called "microcystis," is cloaked in a vividly green swampy substance that now appears annually in the lake on top of the water.
Some years for the bacteria are worse than others. In 2011, the blanket of bright green toxic goop spread more than 100 miles east across the lake, reaching as far as Cleveland.
Besides sucking the oxygen out of the water and creating "dead zones" where fish and other aquatic life struggle to survive, microcystis – and lyngbya, another toxic form of cyanobacteria present in blooms – can be hazardous to humans and their pets.
Microcystis primarily attacks the liver, often resulting in severe damage, but other cynobacteria can cause skin damage, neurological problems and other harmful effects.
People in the Great Lakes region have been sickened, according to published reports, but no deaths linked to the toxins appear to have occurred. Several dogs died after the animals drank toxic water, according to published media reports.
People elsewhere in the world have died after ingesting the toxin, according to the World Health Organization.
However, even to the trained eye, it is impossible to tell if algae in the lake water is the dangerous kind.
Some of the lake's bright green algae – often 6 inches deep in places – may contain the toxin, while other patches may not.
"If you see green stuff, you shouldn't be swimming," said Rachel Lohner, the education program manager at the Lake Erie Center, a research and education center at the University of Toledo dedicated to solving environmental problems in the Great Lakes.
She told of a man who went to rescue his dog from the putrid green sludge and came out of the water with nerve damage in his arm.
Stories like this, and others, are why there are now beachfront signs up and down Ohio's shoreline warning of the danger.
"Avoid swallowing lake water," some of the signs read.
Others say this: "Have fun on the water, but know that blue-green algae are in many Ohio lakes. Their toxins may be too."
No such signs seem to dot the local shores on the eastern end of the lake near Buffalo.
But that does not mean the toxins do not matter, two states away.
"You get your water from here," pointed out Sandy Bihn, executive director of the Lake Erie Waterkeeper, an advocacy group in Toledo, Ohio. "The water moves from west to east."
In other words: We all swim in, and drink from, the same lake.
"It's not going to stay in the western end," said Gregory L. Boyer, professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. "It's going to spread throughout the lake."
Agriculture connection
Algae comes from simple ingredients.
Sunlight, warmth, stagnancy and phosphorus – a main ingredient in fertilizer, both commercial-grade and manure – accelerate the growth of toxic algae.
The algae-forming brew began simmering in the western end of Lake Erie. Now, it is in the central portion.
Many scientists and environmental activists said dissolved phosphorus is getting into the western end of Lake Erie from the Maumee River, a 137-mile waterway that begins in Fort Wayne, Ind., and winds its way through western Ohio before emptying into Maumee Bay at Toledo on Lake Erie's westernmost edge.
The area is home to many farms. Some – like Bill Myers' corn, soybean, wheat and alfalfa operation – have been run by families for generations.
Myers stores his commercial fertilizer – a standard agricultural product – in a 3,000-gallon tank across Cedar Point Road from the beaches of Maumee Bay State Park.
More than a decade before laws required dikes to catch any escaping fertilizer, the Myers farm – a flat, picturesque spread of more than 2,000 acres, with red-painted barns and a simple farmhouse – had them.
"We've always been that way because of our proximity," Myers said. "We're so close, that you spill something here – we don't even have time to call the EPA before it gets to the lake."
Fed by farmland runoff, a lot of problems stem from that one funnel point, the Maumee region,
"The excess phosphorus causes an explosion of algae growth," said Melinda Koslow, regional program manager for the National Wildlife Federation in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Part of the reason is the scale.
The Maumee is the main tributary that receives stormwater runoff from large Ohio and Indiana farms. With a watershed covering more than 4 million acres from a landscape that is 80 percent farmland, it generates the majority of dissolved phosphorus flowing to the lake, according to statistics from the National Wildlife Federation.
Two years ago, a wet summer in the Maumee River region resulted in the toxic pea-green plume in Lake Erie of more than 2,000 square miles – so big and green it was easily photographed from space by NASA.
A drier 2012 helped tamp down the problem last year.
It remains to be seen what this summer will hold.
"The problem with that algae is it's persistent," said Pamela Struffolino, a research technician at the University at Toledo's Lake Erie Center.
Farms aren't sole culprit
As for Myers, whose family has been working the land since 1890 and will continue into a fifth generation with his 21-year-old son John, he plans to continue using responsible agricultural practices.
"We have to find a way," said the Ohio farmer, "we can ecologically exist together."
More than just farms share the blame for the problem.
Other causes, such as sewage, also lie behind the toxic mixture in the lake. Potentially, even climate change may play a role.
Bihn pointed to Michigan environmental reports that suggest that Detroit's aged wastewater system may, with the Maumee River, contribute to the amount of phosphorus discharged into Lake Erie.
To a lesser extent, but not to be discounted, she said, are stormwater discharges and runoff from the entire watershed.
That is partly why Bihn and others in northwestern Ohio want the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to update the assessment on "Lake Erie Water Quality," which identified pollutants and named strategies to clean up the lake.
Bihn likened it to blood tests used to diagnose sick humans.
"That's the gauge used most often for us," Bihn said. "If we're not doing 'blood work' on the lake to know what those numbers are, we're hoping we're doing all the right things in all the right places, but we don't really know."
Stir climate change into the mix – with warmer temperatures and increased annual precipitation – and scientists, environmental activists and lake lovers fear the anxiety-provoking 2011 algal bloom that engulfed Lake Erie from Detroit to Cleveland may be but a sign of things to come.
"There's nothing that will affect the Great Lakes more in this next century than climate change," environmentalist Bill McKibben predicted during a recent visit to the University at Buffalo.
McKibben, founder of the climate change group 350.org, quotes French oceanographer Jean-Pierre Gattuso's forecast that the world's oceans, if climate change is not arrested, will become "hot, sour and breathless" by the end of the century. The fate of the Great Lakes could be even more dire, he said.
"I imagine in smaller bodies of water," McKibben said, "that happens more quickly."
Solutions and the future
Dealing with the factors that contribute to toxic algae may not be a matter of finding a silver bullet.
It may be a case of making many smaller changes.
Take the phosphorus issue.
Scientists and agricultural experts on the lake's western end are testing methods to mitigate the phosphorous finding its way into the lake. Experts at the Lake Erie Center are developing sediment ponds as a way to grab suspended materials in agricultural and stormwater runoff before it gets to Lake Erie.
The ponds are designed to provide more time for sediment to filter out of the water before runoff drains into the lake waters.
In addition, the center also now conducts daily water testing to determine the safety of the water.
That means state health officials in Ohio can decide whether beaches should be closed to the public with more accuracy.
Farmers in the region, too, are encouraged not to spread manure on frozen fields in the winter, to cut down on runoff during thaws. Others suggest that farmers establish buffers between the edge of their farmland and any creeks or streams.
And they are urged to conserve fertilizer.
Farmers said they already do that. Fertilizer is expensive, and so they try to be savvy about how much to use.
Many farms, including Myers' farm, regularly sample and test soil with the latest technology, to get the best bang for their buck.
Allen Gahler, manager of the Lucas County Farm Bureau, favors a comprehensive plan for decreasing phosphorus contamination in Lake Erie, one that includes farms but also other suspected sources, such as sewage and stormwater.
"We're not looking at other sources," Gahler said. "We're not doing monitoring. We're not assigning it to any other sources."
"It's part of the puzzle," Bihn said of agriculture's role, "but it's not 100 percent."
And with fertilizer needed to grow crops, there's no way around that.
Lucas County covers much of the Maumee River's last 30 miles before Maumee Bay, including Myers' farm.
"It's absolutely vital we have an abundant food supply. It's got to be safe. It's got to be affordable," said Myers, surrounded by the fields where he sowed soybeans on a warm spring afternoon. "You can't have it cost $20 for a pound of beans because there's no environmental footprint."
"We've got to be able to come up with something that – 95 percent of the time – everybody's going to be happy."

"Emotional Chaos to Clarity is a masterwork. Be inspired by the possibilities it opens." —Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., author of The Wise Heart
Despite our best-laid plans, life is difficult, and we sometimes experience anger, anxiety, frustration, and doubt. This emotional chaos can negatively affect the way we live our lives. Yet, Phillip Moffitt shows us that by cultivating a responsive mind rather than a reactive one, we can achieve a state of emotional clarity that allows us to act with a calm mind and a loving heart.
Drawing on both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy, Moffitt's step-by-step exercises help us to:
- Know and act from our core values at all times
- Gain wisdom from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences
- Free ourselves from the past
- Achieve a peaceful inner life, even if our outer life is filled with challenges
