An original-oldschool old-timer construction worker's term for lunchbox. During this era, dukies were made from tin, and the thermoses had glass liners in them.
As horseplay and pranks were overlooked on the job in the old days, a man's dukie was definitely off limits, as much as his vehicle, home and family, by (honor). Now, a guy wouldn't hesitate to steal your lunch or your meds, let alone your wallet or your phone if he had half a chance.....so much for (union brotherhood).....

One task that jQuery makes very easy is creating an accordion effect. To do this, we will use the jQuery UI extension library. This is useful if you have a long section of text that is broken up into subsections. By using an accordion, you only display one subsection at a time, but all the other text is available to read at any time. So, for example, on this sample page, there is a long string of information about Piratedrive, broken up in to seven subsections (General Information, Personal Piratedrive, etc.). So to make the page shorter, I'm going to put the text into an accordion. As you will see, this is very easy to do – in fact, I would say that creating the HTML structure is harder than the actual JavaScript in this case.
HTML Content
First, the content has to be formatted so that it can be converted easily. The jQuery UI library requires that the page content be formatted something like this:

Subsection One Title

 Subsection One Content. Can be text, image, links, anything you want. The content can be multiple paragraphs and contain any html tags that you want.

Subsection Two Title

 Subsection Two Content. Again, can be text, image, links, anything you want

The links (a href="#") are required, because they will be the triggers that cause the subsections to open. The subsection headings do not actually have to be h3's, but that is the default, so for the tutorial that is what I'll use. I'll post a link to the documentation so if you want to do something more advanced you can. So, for step one of the tutorial, I've set up the sample page linked above with the content in that format.
The other next step is that all the subsections have to be wrapped in a div tag with an id that we will use to identify it. I'm going to call this one "myAccordion", just to make it easy to see what I want it to be converted into, but you can name it any valid name.

Subsection One Title

 Subsection One Content. Can be text, image, links, anything you want. The content can be multiple paragraphs and contain any html tags that you want.

Subsection Two Title

 Subsection Two Content. Again, can be text, image, links, anything you want

Remember, id's are required to be unique on a page, so if you plan on putting two accordions on your page, you cannot name both of them "myAccordion".
Importing jQuery UI
The next step is to include the jQuery UI library on the page. To do this, you would use the Include JavaScript Custom Element. We have the library stored on our server at http://www.ecu.edu/js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.min.js, so when you put the element on the page, put "/js/jquery-ui-1.8.13.js" (minus the quotes) in the external source text box:
Last Step
And now, there is only one more step to go. You need to add other Include JavaScript Custom Element and put this code in the Script Input box:
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myAccordion').accordion(); });
If you named your div something other than "myAccordion", put that in place of the "myAccordion" (that follows the "#") in the code.
When your page reloads, will should see that the accordion works, as here: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-training/hallwa/Accordion-Step-Two.cfm. As you can see, the style is rather plain, so you can either create your own style sheet, use one of two ECU customized one, located at /css/jquery-ui.css (very purple and gold themed) or http://www.ecu.edu/css/custom-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css (a subtler theme), or some combination of an existing style sheet and your own styles. There is a tutorial here on how to use a style sheet in CommonSpot.
After applying the purple and gold theme, the page looks like this: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-training/hallwa/Accordion-Step-Three.cfm
Advanced Configuration
There are several advanced configuration options that you set if you dislike the defaults. For example, as you can see, by default the first subsection is active (opened for viewing) and the height of all the subsections is the same (the height of the tallest), and one subsection is open at all times. Let's use the advanced options (found here http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/ under Options) to change our accordion so that when the page loads all the tabs are closed, the user can close a subsection by clicking on it while it is open, and to have each subsection only use its own height.
To do this, we have to edit our code that called the accordion function. Right now it is
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myAccordion').accordion(); });
Within the accordion() function, we are going to change the parameters. First let's make the accordion collapsible, i.e. not required at a subsection is open at all times. We change the code to
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myAccordion').accordion( { collapsible: true } ); });
Next, let's make all the subsections load closed:
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myAccordion').accordion( { collapsible: true, active: false} ); });
Last, let's change the height as sections load.
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myAccordion').accordion( { collapsible: true, active: false, autoheight: false } ); });
When all completed, the page now looks like this:

WASHINGTON � The deal-makers who warn that a year-end plunge off the �fiscal cliff� would be disastrous don�t seem to be rushing to stop it. Why aren�t they panicking?
For one thing, the Dec. 31 deadline is more flexible than it sounds. Like all skilled procrastinators, from kids putting off homework to taxpayers who file late, Washington negotiators know they can finagle more time if they need it.
That doesn�t mean delay would be cost-free. Stock markets might tank if 2013 dawns without a deal. But Americans could be temporarily spared many of the other ill effects if Congress and President Barack Obama blow past their deadline.
The Obama administration would have power to delay some of the tax increases and spending cuts that officially would take effect as January begins. Then, if an agreement is reached early in the year, it could be applied retroactively to wipe them out.
Some lawmakers even argue that briefly going over the cliff is the best way to force a compromise. The Obama administration indicated last week it would take the plunge if necessary to ensure that the wealthy end up paying higher tax rates.
Pushing the deadline too far, however, is a risky strategy. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the fiscal cliff policies, if left unchecked, would spark a recession later in 2013 and send the unemployment rate above 9 percent by fall.
How long could negotiators balk and bicker before putting the U.S. economy in jeopardy? The calendar becomes less and less forgiving as the weeks pass.
A procrastinator�s guide to pushing the deadline:
Democrats led by Obama and Republicans led by House Speaker John Boehner say it�s critical to reach a deal this month. Yet both sides appear dug in concerning taxes. And their two plans are far apart about how much to cut spending while the economy still is recovering from the last recession.
So far, Boehner said, �we�re nowhere.�
If compromise were easy for this bunch, they wouldn�t be in this jam. A good chunk of the fiscal cliff � the automatic spending cuts known as the �sequester� � is an artificial deadline created by Congress in hopes of forcing itself to come up with a deficit-cutting plan. It arrives at the same time as the expiration of the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts and other temporary tax breaks scheduled to end unless Congress extends them. Together, the taxes and cuts would equal nearly $700 billion in deficit reduction through 2013.
Congress could vote to override all this and essentially freeze taxes and spending where they are now while the economy heals. But Obama and lawmakers, especially Republicans bent on budget-cutting, see the fiscal cliff as the critical moment to overcome inertia on the nation�s long-term debt crisis.
If there�s no deal in this month, the economy won�t fall off a cliff on New Year�s Day. But it probably will begin a bumpy downhill ride.
The new Congress that convenes Jan. 3 won�t look much different from the one that�s deadlocked now, divided between a Republican-controlled House and a Democratic-dominated Senate. The lawmakers, however, would feel more heat.
Higher taxes for nearly everyone and across-the-board spending cuts already would be law.
�People will get more nervous day by day,� said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody�s Analytics. Still, he thinks the economy could weather a few more weeks of uncertainty as long as negotiators appeared to be working toward an agreement.
If the Bush-era tax cuts expired, that would raise income taxes for the average middle-class family by $2,200 during 2013, the White House says. That�s about $42 per week, probably not enough to curtail spending right away and deal an immediate blow to the economy, economists say.
Plus, taxpayers might never have to ante up. The Treasury Department sets withholding tables that determine how much tax comes out of Americans� paychecks. It could hold off raising the withholding if a deal seems to be in the works, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow of the private Tax Policy Center.
Republicans and Democrats say they don�t want middle-class taxpayers to pay higher tax rates. They disagree about whether to let tax rates rise on individual income above $200,000, as Obama wants.
Other far-reaching tax changes are more likely to go ahead in January. For example, although Obama proposes extending the temporary Social Security payroll tax reduction, support for that has been weak. So more money might start coming out of workers� pay, whether or not a fiscal cliff deal is reached. That�s another $1,000 during the year, or a little more than $19 per week, from a worker making $50,000.
As for the sequester, the White House can direct the Pentagon and federal agencies to husband their resources for a while and hold off on some spending cuts while negotiations continue.
�The more there�s an anticipation that there�s actually an agreement in the works, the less of an impact any of this should have,� said Chad Stone, chief economist for the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. He argues that it�s OK to miss the fiscal-cliff deadline, if necessary, to achieve a well-designed agreement.
What might finally get procrastinators moving if nothing else has? Fear of the United States defaulting on its debts for the first time ever.
Unless Congress acts, the government is expected to hit its legal borrowing limit of $16.39 trillion by the end of December. Treasury Department maneuvers should hold off a default for a couple more months, until late February or early March, private economists say.
Congress could raise the debt limit anytime now, if lawmakers agreed, before resolving the fiscal cliff. But it�s being discussed as part of the bigger taxing-and-spending package. The White House says raising the debt limit must be included in the deal; Boehner says Republicans want any increase in the government�s borrowing to be matched by spending cuts.
Remember the last debt-limit showdown? The government came within a whisker of default in August 2011 before a compromise was reached. The financial markets reeled. Standard & Poor�s downgraded the nation�s credit rating.
Again coming to the edge of default � an economic crisis that scares investors more than the fiscal cliff � probably would send markets plummeting and finally shake up lawmakers, too.
�That�s a pretty scary thing to watch,� Zandi said. �For a policymaker, that�s real motivation.�

The Tyrone Golden Eagles are headed to Hershey.
Tyrone punched its ticket to the PIAA Class AA championship game by beating Aliquippa, 20-19, Saturday afternoon at Mansion Park.
The Eagles stopped the Quips' 2-point conversion attempt midway through the fourth quarter and then intercepted Aliquippa's last drive to preserve Tyrone's third trip to the PIAA championship game.
Tyrone won the PIAA title in 1999, beating Mount Carmel, and is the only District 6 team that has won a state football title. The Eagles lost the PIAA championship game (also to Mount Carmel) in 1996.

|Research Finds Vitamin D Deficiency Affects Bone Quality
Vitamin D deficiency is a widespread medical condition that plays a major role in human bone health. Scientists know that a lack of vitamin D can cause bone diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia. Now a team of researchers working at the ALS has also found that vitamin D deficiency plays a significant role in the bone-aging process. Low levels of vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," have been previously linked to the health and fracture risk of human bone on the basis of low calcium intake and reduced bone density. The recent ALS research demonstrates that vitamin D deficiency also reduces bone quality.
Fracture susceptibility in the context of low vitamin D levels has been primarily associated with defective mineralization of the collagenous matrix in bones (osteoid). However, bone's fracture resistance is due to toughening mechanisms at various hierarchical levels ranging from the nano- to the microstructure. The team of U.S. and German scientists working at the ALS found that the characteristic increase in osteoid-covered surfaces in vitamin D–deficient bone hampers remodeling of the remaining mineralized bone tissue.
Using spatially resolved synchrotron bone mineral density distribution analyses and spectroscopic techniques, the researchers observed that the bone tissue within the osteoid frame has a higher mineral content with mature collagen and mineral constituents, which are characteristic of aged tissue. In situ fracture mechanics measurements and synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography of the crack path indicated that vitamin D deficiency increases both the initiation and propagation of cracks by 22 to 31 percent. Thus, vitamin D deficiency is not simply associated with diminished bone mass. The assumption has always been that the main problem with vitamin D deficiency is reduced mineralization for the creation of new bone mass, but this research shows that low levels of vitamin D also induce premature aging of existing bone.
The researchers hypothesized that restoring the normal level of vitamin D would not only correct the imbalance of mineralized and nonmineralized bone quantities, but also initiate simultaneous multiscale alterations in bone structure that affect both the intrinsic and extrinsic fracture mechanisms. To test this hypothesis, the international team collected samples of iliac crest bone cores from 30 participants, half of whom were deficient in vitamin D and showed early signs of osteomalacia, a disease in which bone is too soft because of excessive collagenous matrix and its inadequate mineralization. For this study, a normal vitamin D level was defined as a serum concentration of above 20 micrograms per liter or higher. For the vitamin D deficiency group the mean serum concentration was below 20 micrograms per liter.
The bone samples were analyzed at the ALS using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and x-ray computed microtomography. The FTIR spectroscopy capabilities of ALS Beamline 1.4.3 and Beamline 5.4.1 provided molecular-level chemical information, and ALS Beamline 8.3.2 provides nondestructive 3D imaging at a resolution of approximately one micron. The beamlines allowed researchers to measure the structure/composition and mechanical properties of the bone samples at different size scales, ranging from nanometers to micrometers. They measured the resistance to crack growth and by following crack growth in real time were able to observe how cracks and structure interact. This enabled them to relate mechanical properties to specific structural changes.
The team found that while vitamin D–deficient subjects had less overall mineralization due to a reduction of mineralized bone, underneath the new nonmineralized surfaces, the existing bone was actually more heavily mineralized and displayed the structural characteristics—mature collagen molecules and mineral crystals—of older and more brittle bone. This research expands the current clinical understanding of the pathophysiology of vitamin D deficiency and helps explain why well-balanced vitamin D levels are essential to maintain bone's structural integrity.

Sarah Michelle Gellar gets down and funny with costar Robin Williams in CBS's new comedy The Crazy Ones.
The actress, 36, chatted with PEOPLE this week about "one last thing" ...
I last heard 'I love you'...
Just two minutes ago my daughter [Charlotte, 4,] said, "I am so lucky you are my mommy. I love you so much." I started crying. She wasn't even buttering me up to ask for anything!
Last injury
I got locked out of our new house a few days ago without any shoes on and ended up bloodying and scraping the bottom of my feet. I kind of scaled a wall thinking I was still a 22-year-old superhero.
Last compliment I gave
To this guy Jon at Starbucks this morning. My order always changes, but today it was an iced coffee with a couple shots of espresso. He always makes the best coffee.
Last time I was impressed
Today! My daughter learned how to snap. We've been practicing for so long, and she really wanted to be able to do it. She's got it down.

Bahrain protests turn violent as demonstrators call for government to resign
Protestors in Bahrain clashed with police on Wednesday after officers used tear gas and stun grenades to break up demonstrators marching towards Pearl Roundabout in the capital, Al Jazeera reported.
The march, organized by the February 14 coalition, was part of an ongoing attempt to push the government into reforming the regime. Pro-democracy protests began nearly two years ago in the Gulf state but so far there have been no changes at the top.
Demonstrators at the Pearl Roundabout in Manama, chanted: "Down with the corrupt government," and "Khalifa resign," referring to Prince Khalifa bin Salman, who has been prime minister for forty years.
Bahrain has been widely criticized for using excessive force on peaceful protestors, including torturing those under detention. In 2011 the Bahraini government's own report found these accusations to be true.
The interior ministry described the protests as: "a group of saboteurs caused [a] riot and blocked roads, requiring authorities to take legal action against them."

UPDATED | New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and first lady Chirlane McCray reported $165,047 in total income last year, according to a copy of their joint tax return released on Tuesday.
Mr. de Blasio, a Brooklyn Democrat, is the first city mayor in 12 years to release a full copy of his tax returns. Mr. de Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire who served as mayor from 2002 through 2013, released highly redacted copies of his return that gave scant information about his net worth.
According to the return, the city's first couple reported $5,597 in gifts to charity, roughly 3% of their total income. The couple received $52,000 in rental income.
Mr. de Blasio's effective tax rate was 8.3%.
In 2013, Mr. de Blasio served as the city's public advocate, a citywide elected post that acts as a watchdog on government. Mr. de Blasio, 52 years old, succeeded Mr. Bloomberg on Jan. 1 and began earning an annual salary of $225,000.
Ms. McCray is heading up the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, a nonprofit that raises money to support city causes, but she isn't receiving a salary.
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, a Manhattan Democrat, reported total income of $128,521 in 2013, according to a copy of her tax returns. She didn't report any charitable contributions.
Her effective tax rate was 15.9%.
An aide to city Comptroller Scott Stringer, the city's chief financial officer, said Mr. Stringer wouldn't be releasing his returns on Tuesday because of the Passover holiday. An aide to Public Advocate Letitia James said on Monday that Ms. James plans on releasing her returns in the near future.
New York politicians have a long history of making their tax returns public. But for the past 12 years, Mr. Bloomberg has defied calls for him to release his returns, saying it would put his privately held company, Bloomberg LP, a financial information firm, at a competitive disadvantage to make his tax returns public.
In 2001, during Mr. Bloomberg's first campaign for mayor, he lost his temper on the steps of City Hall when pressed by a reporter about why he was refusing to release his returns when his opponents had released their IRS filings.
"That's fine," Mr. Bloomberg snapped. "They don't make anything."

Our great friends at The Sporting Club at Voorhees, shared a great article from The Huffington Post recently, that we thought was great information to pass along.
We're barely over a week into summer and already we can't beat the heat.
In fact, this past week alone, more than 1,000 new records were set for daily high temperatures across the country, the AP reported, especially surprising considering records are usually set in July and August. "Any time you're breaking all-time records in mid- to late-June, that's a healthy heat wave," Derek Arndt, head of climate monitoring at the National Climatic Data Center, told the AP.
So far, the most frightening result of this particular heat wave is the fueling of the Colorado wildfires after days upon days of 100-degree weather.
But a heat wave also takes a toll on our bodies and our health. You'll notice you start to sweat more as the temp creeps up; that's your body trying to cool itself off.
You probably also already know to drink extra water on those hot and humid days. Doing so can keep you safe from heat illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion and the possibly fatal heat stroke. Young children and elderly adults are especially at risk, HuffPost reported in May, because their bodies are naturally less resilient to the drastic changes in temperature. People taking certain medications may also have an increased risk of adverse reactions to the heat. And, even though a summer barbecue wouldn't be the same without a cold beer, drinking alcohol outdoors can put you on the fast track to heat illness if you're not careful.
But would you recognize the symptoms of a more serious reaction to the heat? Take our quiz to find out how to identify heat cramps from heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Note: In all cases, no matter what your symptoms, there are some steps to take to ease heat-related illness, which include moving to a shady area or indoors to an air-conditioned space, drinking cool, nonalcoholic beverages and taking a cool shower or bath. However, if you see someone exhibiting symptoms of heatstroke or think you may be yourself, seek medical assistance immediately.

UNIVERSITY PARK - What a game for an arm-chair quarterback.
Penn State's 23-18 win over Purdue on Saturday at Beaver Stadium lacked sheer beauty but compensated in some wild plays and even more questionable calls.
Article Photos
Mirror photos by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn State's Chaz Powell holds off Purdue kicker Carson Wiggs on a 92-yard kickoff return to the Purdue 3-yard line in the fourth quarter on Saturday.
n There were three returns, two kickoffs and an interception, of 50-plus yards. That doesn't include the fumble Stephon Morris scooped up and zig-zagged 40-plus yards across the field that was eventually reviewed, called an incompletion and overturned.
n There was Penn State trying to run a reverse - yes, another reverse - in the red sea, er, zone with 14 seconds left in the first half.
n There was Purdue, down just 7-6 and seemingly trying to kill the clock, having its backup quarterback - yes, the Boilermakers are trying to playing the two-headed game, too - throwing an ill-advised pass that Nate Stupar intercepted, and the Lions turned into a field goal and a 10-6 halftime lead.
n There was Penn State, having just put Iowa away by stuffing the ball down the Hawkeyes' throat in the fourth quarter, throwing a first-down pass from the Purdue 23 into a gusty 25 mph wind, into the end zone, and a potential 27-12 lead was intercepted and brought back to midfield.
n There was Purdue going for a fourth-and-3 from its own 8 with two minutes to go and all three of its timeouts in its pocket.
But the most questionable call came on maybe the game's biggest play.
After the Boilermakers cut PSU's lead to 20-18 with 8:08 remaining, Lion kickoff returner Chaz Powell bolted 92 yards to the Purdue 3.
Exhuberant, he flipped the ball in the air after being tackled - not even that high - and was hit with a 15-yard penalty.
No kidding.
"Everything was going haywire today," defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said.
Referee Dave Witvoet explained the penalty to Bradley, who deals with the officials when Joe Paterno is in the press box, which he was for the entire game Saturday.
Sought for his reaction to the call, Bradley said, "Don't ask me."
And then he told us: "It shouldn't be a rule. If he [Powell] walked in backwards and taunted, I get it, but that [Saturday's alleged indiscretion], I'm not sure."
Powell was. He agreed with a reporter's characterization of the rule as "goofy."
"They thought maybe I was trying to get attention, but I was excited," he said.
Powell actually didn't even know the Nittany Lions were pushed back to the 18, from where, of course, they were forced to settle for a field goal and a 23-18 lead - rather than a likely touchdown that would have knocked Purdue out.
He thought he tweaked his knee and had quickly hustled to the bench for treatment.
"I heard [the penalty] on the loudspeaker," he said. "I got a little upset because I didn't think it was."
Witvoet, who has often been at the center of controversy involving Penn State (see 2002 game vs. Michigan), said Powell's violation was clear.
"I had announced [No.] 6, but it was No. 2, who was the returner," Witvoet told a pool reporter. "He [Powell] jumped up, and he threw the ball up in the air. It's an unsportsmanlike call, 15 yards. It's a point of emphasis. It's drawing attention to yourself, a celebration-type thing."
The call could have been huge had Penn State lost. In no way did he demean Purdue, but Powell accepted the verdict.
"That's the rule. You have to call that," he said. "If I could do it all over again, I'd hand the ball to the official."
Nonetheless, the Lions overcame it.
They got a field goal to extend their lead, and then their defense and special teams (Anthony Fera's 69-yard punt pinned Purdue at its 2 with 2:36 left) finished it off.
And they're now 6-1.
Though haven't been overly impressive, and they certainly weren't Saturday, they can still feel good about themselves.
But, apparently, they better not flip the ball into the air.

NIAGARA FALLS – A 22-year-old city man was cut on the face and shoulder by a neighbor who allegedly got angry when the victim called police to report him early Sunday.
Leaorn Burch, 29, of Memorial Parkway, was charged just before 5:30 a.m. with second-degree assault with a weapon and second-degree burglary. Police said they located Burch walking down the street bleeding from a cut on his hand.
The neighbor told police that he was in his apartment with his girlfriend and two children and called police when Burch and others were arguing upstairs. Police responded, spoke to a woman at the door, then left when they determined no one was injured and the fighting had ceased.
The neighbor said Burch came down and pounded on his door after police left and the two fought verbally with the door closed. The victim said when he opened the door Burch jumped him, cutting him on the face and shoulder with a knife.
The injured man was taken to Erie County Medical Center to meet with a plastic surgeon for his injuries, police reported.

i think the thing to remember is that most enforcers rack up all their fights against each other. the role of the enforcer may still exist on many teams, but the value is almost nill.
the entire concept of an enforcer is to protect your star player from getting run. yet the wings have a guy in kronwall that can make those bone crushing, career ending hits. yet when he makes one, its not like the enforcer comes out and does anything about it. i can't even find kronwall listed on hockeyfights.com! so what kind of deterrent is an enforcer when guys can do whatever they want out there with no fear of retribution?
another example would be that weasel matt cooke. we all remember that great photo of evander kane punching his face in. it was a classic. we all got a kick out of it. but did getting his face beat in (by a non enforcer for that matter) change the way he plays? not at all. dude is still as douchey as ever and takes runs at players all the time. and look at cookes fight history. a player as dirty as him should be regularly getting time with enforcers if they were actually doing their job. but on his career fight list you see names like kovulchuk and pominville, not crombeen, orr, etc.
so just how exactly are enforcers deterrents when they never actually deter? and lets be honest here, is there really even much of a role in 'changing the momentum' when 2 guys that are basically unimportant to the outcome of the game square off right at the start?
Regarding your reference to Kronwall...it is not an enforcers job to fight someone who made a legal open ice hit. The effects of Kane punching Cooke in the face are not quantifiable.
You perhaps don't understand the role of an enforcer/agitator... it may include fighting, but doesn't have to. There wasn't a single fight in the Chicago series if I re-call but I think the Chicago players who were gooning it up (Bickell, Shaw(?)) definitely played a part in swinging the momentum that resulted in Detroit losing the series. I would have liked to have had our own guy out there... a Shanahan, McCarty, Downey, Tootoo to to give some back. Fact is, Tootoo is the only guy on our team right now who will do that... the rest of em act like emotionless automatons most of the time.
Long story short, I think an agitator who is willing to drop the gloves (Tootoo) is highly beneficial to a team... at the very least it's extremely entertaining to watch.

NEW YORK (AP) - The 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks has been marked with familiar but subdued ceremony.
In New York, family members have finished reading the names of nearly 3,000 victims killed in 2001 in the worst terror attack in U.S. history. Family members asked the public not to forget their loved ones and the attack, which caused the World Trade Center's collapse and sent hijacked planes into the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
But some cities either scaled back or canceled their ceremonies and fewer people attended them.
Politicians did not speak at the New York ceremony for the first time.
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama laid a wreath at the memorial to Pentagon victims. Vice President Joe Biden spoke in Shanksville, Pa.

The West Virginia House of Delegates has 100 members.
Ten of them come from right here in the Eastern Panhandle.
They are - Daryl Cowles (R), Larry Kump (R), Eric Householder (R), Larry Faircloth (R), John Overington (R), Tiffany Lawrence (D), Stephen Skinner (D), Paul Espinosa (R), Michael Folk (R) and Jason Barrett (D).
One of the most pressing issues facing our elected representatives?
West Virginia is a sick state.
Out of the 50 states, West Virginia is number one in obesity - 32.4 percent of adults are obese.
We're number one in heart disease - 6.7 percent of the population.
We're number one when it comes to poor physical health days - 5.3 days in the previous 30 days.
We're number two in smoking - 28.6 percent of adults smoke, just behind Kentucky (29.0 percent.)
We're number two in binge drinking - 10.1 percent of the adult population.
We're number three in physical inactivity - 35.1 percent of the adult population.
We're number three in diabetes - 12 percent of the population.
(These statistics come from a report put out by the United Health Foundation.)
I recently asked the 10 members of the Eastern Panhandle delegation what we can do to turn this around.
After all, there are all kinds of state public health initiatives that can be taken - that have in fact been taken by other states - to reverse America's decline in public health.
To begin with, we can pass legislation that kicks the liquid candy (soda and sports drinks) companies off of public school property.
So, we wanted to know - what do our state elected officials think we can and should do?
To say the least, the response was underwhelming.
Daryl Cowles, Eric Householder, John Overington, Stephen Skinner, Paul Espinosa and Jason Barrett did not respond.
Michael Folk called and said he would send something in writing to meet the deadline, but never did.
Larry Faircloth wrote back and said he would send something in writing to meet the deadline, but never did.
Only two out of the ten delegates responded - Larry Kump and Tiffany Lawrence.
"West Virginia invites much of these woes upon our citizens," Kump wrote. "The Mountain State's excessively centralized and bureaucratized government has, for many decades, encouraged an entitlement mentality and lack of personal initiative among our citizens."
"Our best and brightest, as well as our young folks, move elsewhere, to where their efforts meet with more success, while the median age and dependency of those who are left behind continues to rise. The stifling regulation and our court system discourages business growth and new start-ups/investment (a.k.a., good jobs). All of this, in my perspective, enhances less personal accountability and hope. Less personal accountability and hope leads to despair and dependency, which is illustrated in the statistics you quote. Our health is just one of the indicators of the sad shape in which we find ourselves."
Tiffany Lawrence said that, "West Virginia needs to facilitate a culture of wellness and health."
"We are often times reactionary, when we should be proactive in approaching physical and mental health needs for all West Virginians," Lawrence said.
"This begins in the home and quickly carries over to K-12 classroom initiatives. We must start with funding early education for all children as it relates to making positive life choices and decisions. Young people often tell me 'if they would have known' the negative effects of one substance or another they would have stopped immediately."
"Employers must also be part of this change. Many of our Eastern Panhandle companies are creating in-house programs to allow employees to make better health decisions."
"There is no easy solution, but we certainly need to strategically plan for the next 25 years, better than our predecessors."
On the whole, this is an abysmal performance from our Eastern Panhandle delegation.
Eight no shows.
One response blaming the government - nothing about the corporate predators.
And one anemic response.
When I was a kid at Hyde Park Elementary School in Niagara Falls, N.Y., we'd be greeted every morning in the gym with a song called - "Chicken Fat."
Turns out the song was written by Meredith Willson, the composer who wrote the song and lyrics for "The Music Man."
"Chicken Fat" was the theme song for President Kennedy's youth fitness program - and every day during gym, we'd listen and run through a battery of exercises - push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, torso twists, running in place and marches.
Maybe our Eastern Panhandle delegation should take a listen.
It's time to shape up, or ship out.
Stay tuned.

The Effect of Legal Theories on Judicial Decisions
Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
Chicago-Kent Law Review, Vol. 74, No. 2, 1999
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-51
I draw a distinction in the beginning of this essay between judicial decision-making and a judge's decision-making. To persuade a judge, we should try to discover what her theories are. Across a range of theories, I offered well-known case examples typically cited as examples of each theory. Then I showed that the exact same theory used to justify or explain those case results could be used to justify or explain the opposite result in each of those cases.

A swimming school hopes its retail venture floats in a Mount Pleasant shopping center.
Kids First Swim School, featuring an indoor swimming pool that will be kept at 90 degrees, is being constructed in the Publix-anchored Queensborough Shopping Center at 1000 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.
The center will offer six-week sessions for children as well as some adult classes. Its website also shows its pools are available for parties. Part of the space formerly was occupied by Pet Emporium.
The website has Kids First opening this fall. It will be the first venture for the swim school outside of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The chain was formed in Baltimore in 2001 by owner Gary Roth, who has been teaching swimming for more than 30 years and has started franchising his business concept.
Pet project
A new pet supply store is looking to open in North Charleston. PetSmart is going into the Best Buy-anchored Northwoods Marketplace at 7600 Rivers Ave. in the 17,445-square-foot space next to Michaels arts and crafts shop. No opening date has been announced. Northwoods Marketplace is part of Atlanta-based RCG Ventures LLC.
Striking gold
Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange now has a second location in the Lowcountry.
The new store for the wholesaler and retailer of jewelry, diamonds, fine watches and precious bullion and rare coin products is at 1651 N. Main St. in Summerville.
The 5,125-square-foot shop is part of Dallas-based DGSE Companies Inc., which operates 35 stores under different names in seven states. The new shop has a full-service jeweler on site.
Food line
Newk's Eatery, a new soup, salad and sandwich restaurant, will hold the ribbon-cutting for its shop near Azalea Square shopping center at 3 p.m. Wednesday at 210-D Azalea Square Blvd. in Summerville.
Red Lobster redux
Two Charleston-area Red Lobster restaurants now sport a remodeled look. Restaurants at 2080 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in West Ashley and 2460 Mall Drive in North Charleston now boast styles inspired by the New England coast.
The makeovers include a new exterior featuring a stone tower, ship lanterns to welcome diners after dark, Adirondack-style chairs outside, window graphics, expanded seating for large parties, LED lighting and other energy-saving upgrades, wood-fired grills, expanded menu choices and nautical decor such as signal flags and seaside-inspired artwork.
Red Lobster donated its furnishings from remodeled restaurants to local Habitat for Humanity ReStore resale outlets, which sell items to the general public to raise funds for constructing homes in their communities for families in need.
It's part of a larger partnership between Red Lobster's parent company, Darden Restaurants, and Habitat for Humanity International.

How much do consumers really know about dairy?
How much do consumers really know about dairy?
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the seventh Young Dairy Leaders Institute in Albuquerque, New Mex. This two-year leadership program is sponsored by the Holstein Foundation and a nationally recognized three-phase leader and communication skills development program is designed for young adults (ages 22 to 45) working in the dairy industry, and represents all breeds of dairy cattle. Each participant develops top-tier skills and the personal network needed to succeed in today's dairy business. The four-day event had a variety of top-notch presenters. A brief outline of one presentation follows:
Class members had a full day of media training. Joan Horbiak and David Pelzer of DMI (Dairy Management, Inc.) conducted the very participant-driven session where YDLI class members had to think on their feet when responding to questions that they are likely to be asked by consumers or the media. Joan and David prepared the group with key messages to share about the dairy industry and encouraged them to provide examples from their own operations.
The group was then transported to the local University to conduct some "on the street" interviews with consumers. The group was really surprised to learn what consumers know (or better – did not know) about dairy operations and dairy products. Some of the key messages the small groups shared with these consumers were:
"America's dairy farmers are committed to providing you with a safe, high-quality milk and dairy products. Our commitment to quality means taking good care of our cows and the land."
If consumers questioned the ownership of farms, the response to the consumer was something along these lines…"According to US Department of Agriculture, 98 percent of US dairy farms are family owned and operated, sometimes by multiple generations of the family."
If consumer were asking about farm size, the commonly heard response was "Dairy farms have modernized and become larger to allow siblings, children, or other family members to join the operation."
While the intent is not to have phrases that are repeated verbatim, the key components are the most important. And, with added information about the producer's own farm, it provides the uninformed consumer with facts and a personal connection. Other topics discussed were food safety, environment, animal care, and health and wellness.

Last summer I wrote about Nevada City Councilmember David McKay and his purchase of a Ford Escape hybrid vehicle. Shortly thereafter, computer engineer and consultant Nicholas George contacted me about his experience with and knowledge of hybrid vehicles and their gasoline counterparts. George and I spoke recently about his Toyota Yaris and the Toyota Prius he used to drive, alternative transportation and the environment.
"In my opinion, driving a motor vehicle is a last resort, for use only when bicycling, walking, public transportation and ride-sharing will not do," George said. "But because many of us live in housing that was not designed with ease-of-transportation in mind, when we do drive a motor vehicle, driving a fuel-efficient, reliable and reasonably low environmental impact vehicle is good citizenship."
In an attempt to be a good global citizen, George bought a new 2004 Toyota Prius a few years ago, expecting to get the high mileage advertised for that vehicle while reducing his impact on the environment. But, after two years of driving the Prius hybrid, George traded it in for a Toyota Yaris, which utilizes a piston-driven, gasoline-powered engine.
"I was seeking high miles-per-gallon," George says of the switch, "but I was also seeking high return-on-the-dollar investment. In Nevada County driving, which doesn't include stop-and-go and which doesn't include high-speed freeway driving, I was getting a mere 45 miles per gallon." George said that for half the price of the Prius ($25,000+), he could drive a new Yaris ($12,500) that got 40 mpg, was less complex to own, didn't involve the unknowns of recycling and would last longer.
According to the latest mpg estimates issued just this week by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), hybrid vehicle mpgs have been lowered to more realistically reflect how those vehicles perform (www.fueleconomy.com). For example, the old EPA mpg rating on the 2007 Toyota Prius was 60city/51hwy, for a combined total of 55 mpg. The new numbers are 48/45, with a combined total of 46 Ð a 20/12% drop in efficiency. The Yaris has dropped from a combined 37mpg to 32mpg, according to the new figures. The Honda Civic hybrid has dropped from 50 to 42 combined mpg, while the Honda Accord hybrid dropped from 31 to 27 combined mpg (ironically the same numbers apply to the Ford Escape 4WD SUV).
"The key to the Yaris' high fuel economy is not exotic," George says. "It's built with conventional materials, it doesn't have expensive batteries that need to be recycled, it simply is a well-crafted automobile that's no bigger than it needs to be, no heavier than it needs to be, and, if driven sensibly, will really achieve 40 mpg in Nevada County, which I have proved every week."
George, an ex-SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) competitor, utilizes his knowledge of things like aerodynamics to increase his vehicle's fuel economy. His side mirrors fold in, decreasing the side drag when driving at high speeds and increasing his fuel economy by at least one mpg. He also uses the air conditioning sparingly, uses a windshield reflector when parked on hot summer days, accelerates slowly from a stop, coasts downhill in neutral and uses anticipation, wind and rolling resistance to keep actual braking to a minimum, all of which add to his overall fuel savings.
With an eye on the future, George says we need to think about what generations to come will be doing for transportation. Driving less and using more fuel-efficient vehicles is at least part of the answer.
"It's far better to walk or ride a bicycle," says George, a bicycle commuter and member of two bicycle clubs in Nevada County, "but, when I have to drive, it's best to save as much fuel as I can, and, if I can do that while also maximizing the return on my own dollar investment, it's better for me personally, as well as being better for the environment."

Nancy Lanza, mother of mass murderer Adam Lanza, is being described by her friends and family as a paranoid "survivalist" in numerous published reports. That is, she believed, accepted and embraced the eschatological worldview that "the end is near," that the world stands on the precipice of imminent, violent, economic, irreversible collapse.
Her preparations for "the end" included, but were not limited to, stockpiling of food, water and, ominously, guns of all description in the expansive $1.6 million home she shared with 20-year-old Adam, in Newtown, Conn.
Referred to as a "prepper" because she was readying for a complete societal breakdown, Nancy Lanza was obsessed with guns and made sure her two sons Adam and his older brother Ryan knew how to handle and shoot them. Reports from various news organizations said hey often visited gun ranges for target practice.
Nancy Lanza's sister Marsha has said Nancy was "self reliant" and that they often discussed her (Nancy's) preparations for the coming economic collapse. Marsha also added that Nancy was meticulous to a fault about never leaving guns out in plain view, but that she did not hide the fact that she had them -- lots of them.
The arsenal included not only the two handguns and semi-automatic assault rifle used in the killings but also two traditional hunting rifles. She even bragged about them in a local watering hole, and proudly displayed them to her landscaper.
Dan Holmes was her gardener. "She told me she liked the single-mindedness of shooting," he said. He also offered that Nancy Lanza would target shoot with both boys "pretty often."
Holmes also revealed that Lanza never allowed people, including him, to see inside her home. "I would ring the bell on the front door and she would come out the side and meet me," he said. "It was a little weird. It's stranger now thinking back on what happened."
In 2008, she was divorced from Adam's father, Peter, a wealthy senior executive at a financial services company. Reportedly, Nancy Lanza was receiving over $200,000 a year as part of the divorce settlement. She collected close to $298,000 for this year alone.
As for Adam, he has been described as a virtual "ghost" – an autistic genius. His schoolmates said that he was also an obviously "deeply disturbed" young man. Indeed, even many of his closest relatives had not seen him for years on end.
Nancy Lanza regularly partook of a dice game with her neighbors. They, too, said they never actually saw the inside of her home. Indeed, in 15 years of playing together at each others' homes, Mrs. Lanza's house was always skipped at her request, according to neighbor Rhonda Collens.
Other players and neighbors called her a "generous" but very reserved person, a "nice lady" who was devoted to her own and their gardens.
Still others detected that beneath her calm exterior, she was tightly wound and appeared to be trying to "hold herself together."
And, just like her gardener, they never once met Adam. He appeared to be a complete recluse with no friends to speak of. He stayed in the house at all times, glued to his computer, playing violent video games.
That Nancy Lanza was a paranoid "survivalist" is probably an important causative factor in her son's murderous rampage. Surrounded by guns and a mother who apparently trusted no one, not even enough to invite decades-old friends into her home, is it any wonder that her "nerdy," autistic son might someday go over the edge?
The mentality that fosters and nurtures the notion that the world is composed of only two types of people – "us" and "them" – may account for Adam's heartlessness, his effortless ease in mowing down little children with his mother's semi-automatic rifle.
The real question is: How many other Nancy and Adam Lanzas are out there?

I'm so nervous. JV is looking terrific. This game is all up to him.
EDIT: Tigers finally bust it open a little with a big inning. 6-0 feels a lot better with JV out there. Just pray the bullpen doesn't get involved.

Greatest pitcher on earth and a team with a chip on their shoulder facing a team who was simply not prepared to deal with JV. That said, who is? He's a special talent that we as sports fans are blessed to see.
I'm glad they were able to take the wind out of the A's sails last night and avoid any drama or childish behavior. I'm happy for the A's and they were a great story, but there has never been a team to complain more about professional behavior while repeatedly failing to show any of their own. I had a lot of respect for Josh Reddick before the series, but it's apparent that he only respects his teammates and has a lot to learn about sportsmanship. I hope he and Johnny Gomes learn some tact in the offseason.
I have a cousin in Oakland and now how much some of their fan base loves their team, but damn are there a lot of band wagoners - proven by their booing of everything that doesn't benefit the A's - so it's nice that we won't have to hear about how amazing their [brand new] fans are.
But I digress, great series win on the back of our horse. I will now root like hell for the Orioles, because the Yankees are always terrifying. That said, you never want to "want" your opponent in the postseason, because it often comes back to haunt you.

I don't believe for one moment Verlander's comment that he believe's last night's win was the pitching highlight of his career.

I'd like to see the Orioles come back and win this game/series. Home field advantage for the Tigers if so and the O's are a very cool story. Plus I can't will myself to ever root for the Yankees. It sure has been fun eliminating them twice though.

As a Reds fan, I'm not sure what was more painful: wathcing the Reds fall from a 2-0 series lead or that last damned Cardinals rally. What a huge letdown these playoffs have been.
How in anyway as a sports fan in general can you say that is a let down, forget who you are rooting for. This is a great playoff run in every series, tigers go up 2-0, end up having to win it in game 5 after valverde messes up a chance to take it in game 4, The cardinals rally 4 runs in the 9th inning to win the series, when they had two outs and two strikes on 5 of their hits in the ninth. The Giants rally back from a 0-2 start to take the series 3-2, The yankees went up 2-0, and in game 4 went 13 innings before the yankees lost to force game 5, and then obviously the yanks win game 5 to close out the series. These games are unpredictable and fun to watch.

Like the Tigers chances quite a bit because of the starting pitching. Gotta keep the Yankees in the park (easier said than done on that high school field). Also going to need more from AJ, Miggy and Prince in this series which I fully expect to happen. The Yankees struggled offensively in the ALDS, but that is a very tough lineup to navigate still and close games that come down to the bullpens scare me.
Tigers in six, Giants in seven. Tough picking against the Cardinals mojo at this point, but gotta stick with my original World Series teams.

Jim Leyland too for the completely inexcusable move of leaving him in for that long or hell pitching him at all.
There is loyalty and then there's being a stubborn jackass costing your team a win.

Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski made public Monday his choice for the city's next police chief.
Pawlowski has nominated Joel Fitzgerald to take the job, pending city council's approval.
Fitzgerald, the police chief in Missouri City, Texas, started his policing career in Philadelphia in 1992. He spent 18 years on the Philly force, rising through the ranks to lieutenant before taking over as chief in Missouri City in April 2009.
"Right off the bat, I think we can have better relationships with members of the community," he said during a visit to Allentown in October. "I think community problem-solving methods will work here."
Fitzgerald is a 2010 winner of the NAACP president's award for his community policing work. The Texas House of Representatives also honored him for his exceptional service, according to his biography on the police department's website.
Fitzgerald was among four finalists for the job. The others were Ted Kohuth, the former police chief in Whitehall Twp., Lehigh Co.; Charles Rapp, the executive director of Maryland's Police and Correctional Training Commissions; and Ronald Walsh, deputy inspector, Nassau County (N.Y.) Police Department.
Fitzgerald's wife and one of the couple's three children also work in law enforcement.
If his nomination is approved, Fitzgerald will take over for Roger MacLean, who retired in September after 39 years on the force. He became chief in 2006.

The saga of a former Catholic church, eyed as a possible site for an inmate day reporting center, has erupted into a fervor with the faithful and city leadership upset of any hint that the 180-year-old house of worship could become a place where non-violent offenders of the law would receive treatment and be monitored and educated.
With shouts of "save our church" rising over the din of traffic noise along Hepburn Street at rush-hour Wednesday, Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and Williamsport Bureau of Police Chief Gregory A. Foresman held a news conference to denounce the idea, and it was the roughly 50 or so Catholics joining in the fray that sent an equally clear message of dissent.
Campana said he obtained a permit to stand on the sidewalk outside his former place of worship, the Mater Dolorosa church at 635 Hepburn St., which closed in October 2011, to strongly object to any attempt by Lycoming County government officials to consider using it for the purposes as reported recently in a Sun-Gazette article.
Article Photos
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
A group of parishoners gather outside the former Mater Dolorosa Church Wednesday for a rally opposed to the county considering purchase of the facility.
"I'm appalled that there would be any interest in a day reporting center for criminals," Campana said.
Campana described the neighborhood as a "challenging location," for police and drug-related offenses and likened opening such a facility at the church to "sending children into a candy store."
He also suggested the city not be used as a "dumping ground," and said the idea should never have been considered.
According to a prior Sun-Gazette article, county officials have explored the creation of a day reporting center since last year. Tours were reportedly taken of a four-story building at 301 W. Third St., among other sites, but no bids have been made on any location. The center might include offices for adult probation and supervised bail, making it easier for staff and the nonviolent offenders who would be monitored but without having to be committed to prison. Other programs mentioned as possibilities at such a facility would be counseling for substance abusers, job training and furthering their education.
Foresman was blunt about his dislike of possibly using the church or any location in the city for such a purpose.
"If the county is involved I know it's not anything the city would like," he said, saying the church and neighborhood were not places for non-violent offenders. "I don't know who is the brainchild behind this but they have no clue of the dynamics of this neighborhood," Foresman said.
Foresman suggested, as did Campana, that a tract of land where the county pre-release center is located would be a better solution.
Campana noted such a treatment center or offices for agency personnel would not be permissible in the city's present residentially-zoned (R3) district, according to what zoning officer Gary Knarr told him.
He then turned his irritation at the leadership of the Catholic church in the region.
"The bishop of Diocese of Scranton can reopen this church," Campana said, referring to Bishop Joseph C. Bambera. "Let the people pray," he said, calling on the city to heal and, should it be the diocese's wish, to sell the property to the parishioners. He asked that a meeting be set up between city leaders and the bishop or diocese representatives.
It's not as though the church grounds have been left vacant, however. The church has been shut down since the closing, and opened for a final Mass last July, but the adjacent Castellano Center has been used as a food pantry by the United Churches of Lycoming County.
Addie Wright, a longtime parishioner of the church, described the proposal as a "disgrace" and a "sword through the heart of our Blessed Mother."
"Plenty of other secular places are in the county," said Frank Fedele, a Catholic who spoke at the news conference.
The dilemma piqued interest of Milton resident Paul Boiardi, whose family is in the lineage of Ettore "Hector" Boiardi, Italian-born American chef, famous for his brand of food products, named Chef Boyardee.
Boiardi, who attends St. Joseph Catholic Church in that borough in Northumberland County, said while his church is under the guidance of the diocese in Harrisburg, he felt their pain and called on those gathered to never give in.
"Don't let them take your faith or your soul away," Boiardi said.

MINERVA-Everyone in the stands and on the Crestview sidelines knew exactly what was coming from Akron Manchester. It didn't matter one bit.
Using an attack that would make Woody Hayes proud, the Panthers ruthlessly ground away at the Rebel defense to he tune of 646 rushing yards in a dominating 69-21 win in the Div. V, Region 15 championship Saturday at frozen Hines Stadium.
The Panthers (11-2) claim the second regional title in school history. They will face Colmbus Bishop Hartley (12-1) in a state semifinal Saturday at a site to be determined. Crestview (11-2) finishes on the doorstep of a regional title for the second time in three years.
"They're a great team," Crestview quarterback Collin Gilbert said. "We knew that coming in. They have great players, a great coach and a great program. Sometimes you just run into a better team, and the better team won tonight."
With the air brutally cold and snow whipping through the air, the Panthers did not throw a single pass all night and rarely even split a receiver out wide. Play after play, Manchester lined up with seven men at the line of scrimmage, a full house backfield and pounded away.
Backup running back Mason Hayes-filling in for leading rusher Austin Klein who was out with an injury-led the way with 322 yards on 26 carries and five touchdowns. Anthony Miltner-who did not see serious action until last week-ran for 189 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns. The Panthers easily scored on all of their first half possessions en route to a 42-0 halftime lead.
"I knew they were going to run that stuff and I was worried about it. I was worried about their size," Crestview coach Paul Cusick said. "They are big and strong. It's not fancy, but it's effective and they did it very well."
Very early on, things looked promising for the Rebels. After receiving the opening kick, Gilbert and running back Trevor Cope each ripped of good runs. However, after a Gilbert interception in Manchester territory, the Panthers quickly took advantage, barging down the field for the first touchdown mostly behind Hayes. After another long Gilbert run on the ensuing drive, Manchester recovered a fumble and quickly scored again, ripping off big chunks of yardage to establish a quick 14-0 lead.
"Those two turnover hurt," Cusick said. "Against a good team you can't do that. They took full advantage."
From there the rest of the first half went like clockwork. Crestview went three-and-out, punted the ball, and Manchester took over for another punishing drive. The 6-foot-2 220 pound Hayes was especially tough to bring down on the frigid night. When the Panthers chose to change things up, the speedy Miltner had no trouble finding room on the outside. Manchester faced just two third downs in the first half, with the longest being a third-and-2.
"They were big and strong and their execution was outstanding," Crestview linebacker Jake Ferris said. "They did all the little things right. Everyone got to where they needed to be and they get there fast and hard. Hayes was a real big kid and hard to bring down. He was also slippery for how big he was. He broke all our tackles."
Gilbert led the Rebels with 141 yards rushing on 23 carries and two touchdowns. Trevor Cope had 69 yards on 14 carries. The vast majority of that yardage came in the second half. For most of the game, the Rebels high-powered attack was completely shut down. Whenever Gilbert would drop back or try and run, a black shirt seemed to be immediately in his face.
"They didn't do anything that surprised us on defense," Gilbert said. "They just had a lot of strong athletes. They just beat us."
At halftime, Cusick urged his team not to quit and they responded by playing hard until the end. It was the final game for a senior class that inherited a strong program and helped enhance it, going 22-3 over the last two years.
"I've played since third grade with these guys," Gilbert said. "We've really grown up together. I'm proud of all that we did and just really sad to see it go."
"I'm going to remember the brotherhood we had and all the memories we created together," Ferris said. "This is such a great program and coach Cusick has done a great job. We had a lot of great times together."
Game notes
This marked Crestview's worst loss since a 56-0 beating by South Range on Aug. 31, 2001.
The players came out for warmups to find the field glazed with a thin layer of snow and ice. The game itself was played in bitter conditions, with the temperature in the low 20s and the wind chill in single digits. During the second quarter, the water on the Crestview sidelines froze. Both bands put on halftime shows using only their drum majors.
"The conditions effected our offense a little bit," Gilbert said. "But not enough to really change the score that much."
Manchester's total of 646 rushing yards unofficially is the seventh highest single-game total in state history according to the OHSAA's website. Ironically it surpassed Minerva's 635 yard effort against Canton South in 1998.
Crestview sold 550 presale tickets for the game.

WHEATFIELD – A West Seneca man has been charged by Niagara County sheriff's deputies for his alleged role in the theft of more than $1,000 worth of silver antiques and jewelry from the Shawnee Country Barn Antiques Co-Op.
Tyler M. Schmidt, 18, of Treehaven Road was charged with felony grand larceny just after 6 p.m. Wednesday following an investigation. A vendor at the Shawnee Road business said a man looked at her display case Friday, then left telling her that he forgot his wallet. The vendor said she became suspicious and she gave deputies his description and license plate number.
The vendor said 37 sterling rings, several sterling spoons and antiques valued at $1,200 were missing.
The vehicle was traced, and deputies said Schmidt admitted taking the rings, but was unsure how many he took and said he sold them at a Cheektowaga flea market for $200.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Corbin Olmstead homered twice and drove in six runs in leading North Florida to an 11-4 win over Stetson in Atlantic Sun Conference play, Friday at Harmon Stadium.
North Florida's 3-thru-6 hitters in the lineup were a combined 10-for-16 with 10 RBI. Stetson's offense managed 12 hits, but the Hatters (17-27 overall, 6-10 A-Sun) left 10 runners on base and were 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
Olmstead started the scoring for the Ospreys (18-23, 8-11) with an RBI double in the second. Olmstead connected for 2-run home run in the fourth to make it 3-0.
Mike Fernland put Stetson within 3-1 when he led off the fifth with a solo homer, but UNF responded by scoring five runs in the bottom of the inning. Olmstead highlighted the scoring for the Ospreys with a three-run homer.
UNF added three unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth as its lead swelled to 11-1.
Stetson finally put together a strong offensive inning in the top of the seventh. The first run scored on a double play. Garrett Russini and Kyle Zech followed with run-scoring singles to make it 11-4.
Russini, Zech and Robert Bruce led Stetson with two hits apiece.
Drew Weeks was 3-for-5 for the Ospreys, while Trent Higgenbothem had two hits and three RBI.
Kevin Fagan (0-1) was saddled with the loss for Stetson, as he allowed five runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings. He struck out three and walked two.
David Trexler (5-2) picked up the win for UNF, scattering 11 hits in 6.2 innings.
The Hatters and Ospreys resume their series at 1 p.m., Saturday.
