The Stetson men's basketball team will be showcased on ESPN3 a total of nine times during the upcoming 2013-14 season, adding seven more contests to the pair of CSS/ESPN3 games announced earlier in the fall.
The Hatters open the season at Atlantic Coast Conference foes Clemson and Notre Dame, and both games will be featured on ESPN3 and the Watch ESPN app. Stetson takes on the Tigers on Friday, Nov. 8 at 7:00 p.m. and then challenges the Fighting Irish on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 1:00 p.m.
In-state rivals USF and UCF are also slated to host Stetson for games on ESPN3 in non-conference action. The Bulls will welcome the Hatters to Tampa on Friday, Nov. 22 for a 7:00 p.m. contest, while the Knights play host to Stetson on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 7:00 p.m. in Orlando.

As announced on the first of October, both of Stetson's games against FGCU this season will air on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) and ESPN3. The Eagles come to DeLand on Sunday, Jan. 5, and the Hatters make the trip to Dunk City on Friday, Jan. 31.
Like last season, all of Stetson's games in 2013-14 will be on the radio at WSBB 1230 AM New Smyrna Beach, 1490 AM DeLand, MyAM1230.com and the new WSBB iPhone and Android app. All Hatter home games will also be available on HatterVision, and road A-Sun games will be available on ASun.TV.
Stetson opens the preseason with a pair of home exhibition games at the Edmunds Center. Stetson will host Tamp on Oct. 26 at 1:00 p.m., and then welcome Palm Beach Atlantic to DeLand on Nov. 4 at 7:00 p.m.

I did my best trying to explain the diagnosis to my children. At 11, 4, 3, and 2 years old, all four were extremely close to their grandmother, enjoying regular playtimes and overnight visits with their "Nana." I told them that Nana had a disease in her body, and that the doctor advised that she would no longer be able to lift them up.
My eldest daughter, Katie, had a particularly close relationship with Nana. For six years, she had been my mom's only grandchild and the two of them were the best of friends. As Katie's birthday approached, she came to me with an idea of how she wanted to celebrate. In lieu of birthday gifts, Katie asked her friends to honor her grandmother by donating money to help cancer patients. Katie's birthday was turned into a surprise party for Nana, as well as a fundraiser for the IMF's myeloma research program. At "Katie's Birthday Charity Bash," Katie and her friends were able to raise $1,400—a big feat in a small town!
I am very proud of my daughter and her friends, and grateful that Nana lived long enough to participate in this joyful celebration."

Factor XII deficiency is an inherited disorder that affects a protein (factor XII) involved in blood clotting.
When you bleed, the body a series of reactions takes place to help the blood clot. This is called the coagulation cascade. Factor XII is a special protein, called a coagulation factor, which helps in this process.
Each factor in the process triggers the next reaction. The final product is the blood clot. There is a higher chance of excess bleeding when one or more of these clotting factors are missing.
A lack of factor XII does not cause you to bleed abnormally. However, the blood takes longer than normal to clot in a test tube.
Factor XII deficiency is a rare inherited disorder.
There are usually no symptoms.
Factor XII deficiency is most often found when clotting tests are done for routine screening.
Tests may include:
Treatment is usually not needed.
The outcome is expected to be good without treatment.
There are usually no complications.
The health care provider usually discovers this condition when running other lab tests.
This is an inherited disorder. There is no known way to prevent it.

Santa Claus will make a special trip from the North Pole to downtown Williamsport to usher in the holiday season on Friday. A slew of activities, including the mayor's annual tree lighting ceremony and the opening of Santa's Village, will key visitors up for the grand event - the 63rd annual Billtown Christmas Parade.
The parade, sponsored by the City of Williamsport, the Sun-Gazette, Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce and Backyard Broadcasting, has become one of the city's oldest holiday traditions, and an essential start to the holiday season for many people.
"For 63 years, the Billtown Christmas Parade has brought happiness to young and old alike, spanning several generations," said Milissa Augustine, parade chairwoman.

Wreaths are hung from city light posts in the downtown in preparation for the Holiday Parade Friday.
Festivities start at Santa's Village at the southwest corner of West Fourth and Hepburn streets, which will open at 4 p.m. There, visitors will be able to purchase handmade crafts from local artisans, as well as delicious holiday food. The heart of Santa's Village will be Santa's House, which will be decked out for the holidays in festive wreaths and garland.
At 5:30 p.m., Mayor Gabriel Campana will light up the traditional 60-foot Christmas tree directly in front of Santa's House.
"The tree is the centerpiece of the downtown holiday decor, and (it) carries the magic of the holidays," Augustine said.

Communicating successfully depends on effective use of communication strategies and behaviors. Words, facial and body movements, tone of voice, even clothing and situation, all form an intricate symbol system that must be quickly translated by those who want to communicate.
It has been said that there is no communication unless a mutual sharing of meaning takes place. It has also been said that one cannot NOT communicate. These two ideas seem to oppose one another, but they are two sides of the same coin. A smile can have many meanings. And so can silence.
This course will show you how to manage the conscious and unconscious codes of meaning we send to each other and to respond with appropriate codes in turn.
This course explains and explores concepts of verbal and nonverbal expression including personal style, listening, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, conflict management, and cultural and gender communication differences.
Examples, graphics, and theoretical models help clarify communication topics and simplify the process for effective communication in family, personal, and professional situations.
Communicating is necessary. Knowing how to do it well is personally satisfying and professionally wise.

I feel it was hard to get
I feel it was hard to get into this link, but figured it out. Living in the forest, literally, makes it hard because I have no Twitter. I see people all the time asking requests, but when I watched the making of American Idiot, which was fabulous, the Broadway documentary, it said how much you value your privacy. I do feel however, the subject I have to deal with and wrote lyrics for is something only you can do. You challenge many authority issues, and I tried to e mail, but couldnt get it to work. I dont truly expect a reply, but hope for one. the inspiration has to do with the fake ass lie of suicide by cop. I wont put any material here, but also know you probobly wont respond, because you probobly hear shit like this all the time. I respect that, but hey, cant hurt to try.I WANT NO COMPENSATION...just the truth be told. thank you, I am probobly going to get a lot of comments about how stupid I AM for trying. LOL!!! its ok tho. Many blessings for Brittany, and much respect for your families.

Hey I just wanted to say I
Hey I just wanted to say I love your music and my sons both love it. I am sick if seeing all these so called talent shows always letting the pop or country singer win. My son Kyle did some Green Day while he was in School of Rock (Clear Lake, TX) and I was thinking it would be so cool for a great band like you to allow these younger kids to see that their talent is great too, it would be great for your band to allow them to open up for you even if it is just one song, you could change so many lives, Kyle is 19 and it would mean the world to him to see other rockers show them they can make it and great stars like you are backing them to succeed. And that Rock and Punk are alive and rockin...
You are the most amazing band
You are the most amazing band in the whole world you saved my life please please please please come to Montreal soon please please please please please please!!! :)
Hello Billie, Mike, Tre, and
Hello Billie, Mike, Tre, and Jason! I have a question. So I know you guys are going on tour net year, and I'm so excited to have a chance to finally see you live! My parents say that I will have to save up money for my ticket and one of theirs, and being thirteen, I don't have a source of monthly income other than occasionally babysitting. So I was wondering how much do you think US tour tickets will cost? Front row seats, or just regular seats. I just need to know how much I need to start saving for! Also-- I know my comment makes no difference as to where you play, but I may as well ask- please, please come to Virginia! And play St Jimmy, that's my favorite song :) Thanks for hopefully reading this, and I wish you all good luck in tour prep! #staystrongbatmansmom :)

I like Green Day- long-time
I like Green Day- long-time fan. I actually love you guys, almost just as much as Mary J.- ha ha. But I think you guys should go back to your older style of music- lose the auto-tuners. If you feel like what I just said is an expired piece of bull leading to conflict, that's fine... I just kind of miss it, I know I'm not the only one, and you guys are really my favorite band. But (and again, I'm not the only one) I think that things are being replaced. An example would be Heavy Metal with Screamo. I tend to like SOME Screamo, but I don't want one of my favorite genre's to be replaced and forgotten. I mean, literally my goal is to get older music to come back and stay. If you guys aren't on board, okay fine- I don't care. But it WOULD mean a lot to me and a lot to others if you guys at least promoted the idea. Thanks for taking your time to read this! ~ACS

Please answer me this: What's
Please answer me this: What's the FUCKING reason of blocking lyrics on TuneWiki on spotify? Are you for real, in claiming that you're losing licensing money on this, or are you just fucking retarded? Perhaps you don't believe in the "disgrace" that fans don't understand the whole of the lyrics and don't want to admit that there may be reason that people don't get all the words? There is no disgrace in people not getting the whole context of lyrics and it's no criticism to the artist, to let fans read them in text.
Dear Mike and Brittney
Dear Mike and Brittney

My husband introduced me to
My husband introduced me to your music when we had met 16 years ago and I was hooked. It got him thru a lot of hard times and pumped him up when he wasn't feeling good. He had battled Lupus for 19 years. This May 17th will be 4 years since he passed away. He was a big fan of yours. With that said...I just wanted to say "thank you" you gave him joy and something to relate to. I will always be a fan.
Hello I'm Green Day fan from

I was a casual Green Day fan
I was a casual Green Day fan until I saw the ShoTime special. I'm a hardcore music fanatic and now a huge Green Day fan. The ShoTime special along with learning what American Idiot was all about was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Not only was Billie Joe's talent amazing, the cast of the broadway show was phenomenal. I am planning my trip to my first broadway show, American Idiot in New York. It will be amazing.
Come back to the UK please!!!

While the public may look at a town with four school districts and see an opportunity for consolidation, decreased state funding and increased state mandates make the idea much less likely.
That was the message Monday night from Rick Timbs, executive director of the Statewide School Finance Consortium, who moderated a forum featuring Cheektowaga's four school boards in the Cleveland Hill High School auditorium.
Timbs spent much of the forum addressing the capacity crowd of about 150 people on the state's history of providing financial aid to districts, contending that the lack of promised funding is crippling schools to the point of insolvency.
"I've watched Western New York enter a malaise for 40 years, and it's accelerating now," Timbs said. "There's not a single wealthy school district in Western New York. Hard to believe, but it's true."
The financial inequality of the state's funding formula, as well as the diminished value of New York's mandated Foundation Aid, is forcing districts to consider drastic moves such as consolidation, according to Timbs. Cleveland Hill, for one, received only $8.1 million of its promised $12.8 million in Foundation Aid from the state this year. Similarly, Cheektowaga is short about $6.2 million, Maryvale $2.4 million and Sloan $3.8 million.
"The districts are getting millions less than they were in 2008-09," Timbs said. "How are you supposed to operate? It's unsustainable."
With decreasing revenue, districts are forced to cut staff and programs while using their savings to offset tax increases, but Timbs said schools are running out of all three options. This is not only affecting the quality of education, he said, but the quality of life in the community.
"We could be leaner and meaner," he said, "but no matter how much [districts] share, they will never be able to make up the losses. The loss is too big."
Timbs also addressed the topic of consolidation. Consolidating Cheektowaga's four districts – Cheektowaga Central, Cleveland Hill, Maryvale and Cheektowaga-Sloan – has been discussed among administrators over the last few months. The districts agreed to pursue a state efficiency grant that would examine a potential merger, but Timbs was quick to note that such a move may not save taxpayers money in the long term.
Timbs cited studies showing that although merging districts could combine resources, enhance programs and facilities, stabilize property taxes and attract better teachers, as well as earn fiscal incentives from the state, it also could raise unrealistic expectations for the new district.
In addition, he said, whatever incentives the new district would receive are only short-term, forcing administrators to face tightening budgets once again.
The districts "that are looking at mergers are doing so because they're poor," Timbs said. "If you merge two small poor districts, you get one large poor district."
The issues facing school districts resonated beyond Cheektowaga on Monday. The West Seneca School Board moved its regularly scheduled Monday meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 5:30 so its seven members could head to Cleveland Hill.
It's not that there are any plans for consolidation in West Seneca, trustees said, but there's interest in hearing about the issues from a state perspective.
"We're very interested in what Albany and what various people – the governor – and all have to say" about consolidation, board member Janice E. Dalbo said. "It's kind of a hot topic in the state. "
West Seneca is in the midst of a proposed intradistrict reconfiguration that would relocate students from East Elementary School to achieve a transition to a sixth- through eighth-grade middle school. Currently, the district has a middle school of grades 7 and 8.
The issue of reconfiguration, which has roiled parents in the district, was not raised at Monday's meeting.
The board will host a second parent forum at 7 tonight in West Middle School, 395 Center Road. A vote on the issue is expected at a Feb. 11 meeting of the board.

quote: It's already illegal to drive with blood alcohol over .08%, but I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of fatalities are caused by people whose blood alcohol is far higher than that.
quote: The laboratory and driving simulator research described above provides insights into alcohol 's effects on general performance; however, with respect to safety, studies that consider the relationship between BAC and crash risk can provide useful information to guide policy. One of the earliest and best known studies of the effects of BAC on crash risk was the Borkenstein Grand Rapids study, a case - control study conducted in the early 1960s (Borkenstein and others 1964). The Borkenstein study showed an increased risk of crashes beginning at a BAC of 0.04. At a BAC of 0.08, risk was nearly doubled, and at 0.10, it had increased six fold. The Borkenstein study also found a "dip" in risk at very low BAC levels; 23 however, subsequent replications have indicated that the dip was a statistical anomaly (Hurst , Harte, and Frith 1994, 647 – 54) and that risk increases continuously beginning at a BAC of 0.01. More recent studies have shown that risk is significantly higher when a driver's BAC is = 0.05, and that crash risk climbs rapidly at BAC levels that exceed 0.08. One study found that the risk of fatal crash involvement at BACs between 0.05 0 and 0.079 ranged from about 3 to 17 times greater, depending on the age of the driver and the type of fatal crash (single - vehicle versus all crashes) ( Zador , Krawchuk, and Voas 2000, 387 – 95 ). Another study found that at a BAC of 0.05, drivers are 1.38 times more likely to be in a crash than are sober drivers. At a BAC of 0.08, crash risk is 2.69 times higher ( Compton and others 2002; Blomberg and others 2005). These elevated risks grow even higher as BACs increase, with the risk of being in a crash rising to nearly 5 times higher by a BAC of 0.10. Figure 4 depicts relative crash risk by BAC level from this study.
quote: And their stated goal is zero impairment.
quote: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/overturn...
quote: I see nothing in the source article that defines that term, and nothing that can be used to say "People with a BA level above 0.05 and below 0.08 kill X number of people each year in accidents."
quote: At .08, you are impaired but it's not that significant
quote: Although lowering the per se BAC threshold may seem counterintuitive when the majority of alcohol - impaired drivers in fatal crashes have BAC levels well over 0.08, research on the effectiveness of laws limiting BAC levels (Hingson, Heeren, and Winter 1996; Wagenaar and others 2007) has found that lowering the per se BAC limit changes the drink - driving behavior of drivers at all BAC levels. Consequently, reducing the per se BAC limit could reasonably be expected to have a broad deterrent effect, thereby reducing the risk of injuries and fatalities from crashes associated with impaired driving.
quote: The psychological effect is something I hadn't considered, but it's not something that can be predicted effectively either, just "estimated". The only way to really know the impact of that aspect would be to implement the law...
quote: I think they should raise the tobacco and alcohol age.
quote: I even the driving age from 16 to 18.

Past Peacebuilding Activities
The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice has worked to promote sustainable peace with justice all over the world. Here are a few summaries of our work.
The institute's work in Colombia, which has been in violent conflict for over 50 years, took the form of policy advocacy for an inclusive peace process. The institute published a series of op-ed and analytical pieces on the Colombian peace process in multiple news outlets in 2011 and 2012, as well as two Peace and Justice Policy Briefs.
West Africa
The West African Human Rights Training Initiative was a 2010-12 regional partnership between the Institute for Peace and Justice, the Open Society Initiative for West Africa and leading human rights organizations in the Mano River region (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire). The initiative strengthened the ability of select human rights organizations to pressure their governments for reform and accountability by engaging in a three-step process of human rights investigation, report writing and advocacy. Contact Assistant Professor Dustin Sharp for more information on the project.
The Legal Empowerment in Quiché Project in Guatemala was a collaboration between the Institute for Peace and Justice and the Barbara Ford Peace Center, and was funded from 2010 to 2013 by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. The project assisted indigenous people in the Department of Quiché to exercise their civil and political rights through non-traditional legal empowerment approaches.
Between 2009 and 2011, the institute worked with local partner organization, the Mindanao Peoples Caucus (led by Woman PeaceMaker Mary Ann Arnado), to bring international attention to the peace process on the southern island, and to give a platform for youth and women's voices from the conflict. Institute staff participated in the International Solidarity Conference on Mindanao and Mindanao Peace Power Day in 2009. The following year, the IPJ interviewed grassroots youth leaders on the state of peace and conflict in Mindanao for a WorldLink video, and gave presentations and workshops across the island. Read more about the second summit of the Women PeaceMakers Asia Regional Network, convened in the Philippines in 2011.
Beginning in 2004, the institute was involved in the peace process to end the war in northern Uganda, and in 2006 staff members served as election observers to the presidential and parliamentary elections. Read our former executive director's testimony on Uganda before the U.S. Senate in 2005.

A massive self-storage building soon will rise in West Ashley.
Charleston-based Quattlebaum Development Co. is developing a new 140,000-square-foot, four-story structure at 810 St. Andrews Blvd. across from Mex 1 Coastal Cantina.
The 1,200-unit, climate-controlled building with have three elevators and should be completed in nine months. Scott Quattlebaum said the company worked with the Charleston County Planning Department, since the property is not in city limits, for more than seven months to come up with a design that will be visually pleasing for the area and large enough to serve all of West Ashley.
The building will be managed by Extra Space Self Storage, which also manages Quattlebaum's three-story, 100,000-square-foot self-storage business on Heriot Street on Charleston's upper peninsula. The new building's price was not disclosed.
Richard Morse of Palmetto Commercial Properties is a partner in the project.
Queen's reign ends
After 12 years on Daniel Island, Queen Anne's Revenge has turned off the lights for good.
The restaurant and bar at 160 Fairchild St. was part of Neighborhood Dining Group, which once launched the Buccaneer in downtown Charleston. The pirate-themed restaurant closed in 2010 after two years.
"To our valued and loyal guests who have supported us over the years, we want to thank you," Neighborhood Dining Group President David Howard said in a statement on the restaurant's website. "We will miss you all."
An earlier posting on Queen Anne's Facebook page said the restaurant and the nearby Hampton Inn "are in the process of being acquired by a local development group." That part of Howard's statement was later removed.
Neighborhood Dining Group continues to operate Husk in Charleston and Nashville, McCrady's in Charleston and Chicago's Steak and Seafood in Roswell, Ga., near Atlanta.
Burch perch
C. Wonder, a women's clothing, accessories and home decor shop, will open its 15th store this fall at 285 King St. in downtown Charleston, where the Puma shoe shop was once located.
The shop, which first opened in New York City in 2011, is the brainchild of investor J. Christopher Burch, founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital and ex-husband of celebrity fashion designer Tory Burch. It also will offer footwear, jewelry, housewares, personal electronics, monogramming and other personalized products. The average product will sell for under $50 in a floor plan divided into themed rooms.
Refueling break
The Hess station at 1683 U.S. Highway 17 at Venning Road in Mount Pleasant has been shut down for a complete makeover. It will reopen after renovations.

ESPN NFL draft experts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both agree that Auburn quarterback Cam Newton will be the first player selected by the Carolina Panthers.
With just over a week remaining until the draft, the excitement is still building up. Although Kiper and McShay share the opinion that Newton will be taken first, it is definitely no guarantee.
This pick doesn't have anywhere near the level of certainty that previous drafts have had, with players like JaMarcus Russell and Sam Bradford knowing well beforehand that they should be the top selection.
Especially with the NFL lockout still looming over our heads, the draft is hopefully going to bring back a few days a bliss that might be missed otherwise.

MARTINSBURG - "Intelligent" and "cool" were the two most commonly used words among United States children in describing President Barack Obama after the 2008 election in an international research survey conducted by four scholars, who in turn published a book on their findings. As the eyes of the nation fall upon the president's re-inauguration, the first youth generation to see an African-American president not only elected, but re-elected to office, holds a special place for one of the book's authors, Helen Bond, an associate professor in the School of Education at Washington, D.C.'s, Howard University.
"They'll be the first generation of young people that will really live out the legacy of America and how it's evolved," Bond said.
The first elementary through high school students, ages 9 to 17, sampled in the making of "Through Children's Eyes: President Obama and the Future Generation" were from Martinsburg, as Bond, a former Musselman Middle School teacher, fondly calls Berkeley County home.

Helen Bond
"We don't just look at them as what they're going to be as future adults," Bond said. "We value what they have to say as young people."
Published in September, the book, according to a press release, examines the youth perspective of "a president whose background and ancestry seemed so foreign that some people today still doubt his citizenship, ethnicity and religious affiliation," from a range including Sierra Leone, China, Jamaica and Russia, in addition to the U.S.
"Following the 2008 election, optimism surged for race relations in the United States and human relations in the world," the statement reads. "Adults everywhere were paying attention and evoking children as positive or negative symbols of this new future, but no one was asking whether actual children in the United States and around the world were inspired by or even noticed these events."
This "evokation" of children, Bond said, inspired her to spearhead the research project surrounding the election of the 44th president.
"Some folks were seeing it as a promising future and some folks were seeing it as a demise," Bond said. "And children were being used as a symbol for that."
In addition to Bond - a former West Virginia Human Rights Commissioner appointed by then-Gov. Joe Manchin - the book's authors include Jefferson County's Bernadine Barr, a collegiate professor in the School of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Maryland, University College; Izolda Fotiyeva, an associate professor of Howard University; and Fang Wu, an associate professor and early childhood education program coordinator in the School of Education at Howard University. The social scientists collectively compiled spoken and illustrated samples from students gathered by interviews featuring questions ranging from "How do you think this is going to impact race relations?" to "Do you see this person as a role model?"
"We (all) work with young people and children and we know about the achievement gap with African-Americans and the need for role models," Bond said. "We watched the euphoria around the first African-American president getting elected. We were interested in what children were thinking and feeling."
One U.S. student, Bond said, illustrated a picture of himself with the president on a flight of stairs - Obama standing on a higher step, and the child standing beneath looking up, both figures filled in with brown crayon.
"I've never had president look like me," the student wrote in a comment.
The samples, Bond said surprised the scholars with an indication that children outside of the U.S. were more informed on the election than American students.
"They were positive, for the most part," Bond said of students. "We found that some of them said their parents didn't like President Obama, but that they did."
Perhaps more surprising was the knowledge held on racial relations by all students sampled.
"All of them knew about the racial relations in the United States," Bond said. "They were very, very optimistic, especially the younger youth. The older youth were optimistic, but they did indicate in their answers that it may take more than a black president to improve the racial climate."
"It made Africa proud of herself," said a male primary school student in Sierra Leone of the election.
Russian children, by contrast, revealed a post-Cold War sentiment in some of their answers, Bond said, regarding critical relations with both Obama and the U.S.; others, in their drawings, indicated wanting to make peace with the nation.
Nearly four years in the making, the book, Bond said, has received such positive feedback as making the bestseller list at an independent book store in Mansfield, Ohio, and being selected as one of the 10 featured books for the 2013 Ohioana Library Book Festival. The authors are planning on starting a second book, taking a look at the topic of female presidents.

Heidelberg's defense was among the best in the Ohio Athletic Conference in 2012, allowing less than 14 points a game.
As a result, four of its players made the Ohio Athletic Conference first team, and its defensive coordinator was named the league's top assistant.
Scott Donaldson, in his 10th season at the 'Berg, was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Assistant Coach of the year, while linemen Stephen Fejedelem and Ben Poirier and linebackers Craig Sykes and Dawson Gore were named to the OAC first team.
Poirier, just a sophomore, had a brilliant campaign, with 11 1/2 sacks and 23 tackles for a loss, each a team-high by a wide margin. Fejedelem, a senior, had 7 1/2 sacks and 10 tackles for a loss.
Gore, a Bellevue graduate, capped his career with 70 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery. He compiled those statistics despite missing two games due to injury. Craig Sykes, also a senior, was Heidelberg's leading tackler, with 87 stops. He had two interceptions and five pass breakups.
Heidelberg's offense also received plenty of honors. Senior receiver C.J. Powell, who had 852 yards and six touchdowns, made the first team, as did running back Cartel Brooks, who stepped into the No. 1 spot following the departure of Germany Woods and dominated.
Brooks, Galion graduate, ran for 1,299 yards and 16 touchdowns. This despite essentially missing the last two games of the season due to injury.
Quentin Rembert, who might have had the biggest field goal block in program history in the final seconds of the Week 10 win against Baldwin-Wallace, was named to the first team offensive line. Heidelberg's center, Austin Hunter, was named to the second team, as was fellow lineman Mike Lehman.
Also making the second team was linebacker Adam Cepik and defensive backs Chadd Wiliamson and Justin Suddeth. Robert Gray, the team's top kick and punt returner, was named to the second team as a special teams player.
Receiver Mario Escalante and defensive lineman Will Nunnally were named OAC honorable mentions.

Dancing's all-female top three performed two routines a piece on Monday night – and it's a tight race going into Tuesday's big finale.
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani were flawless and are in the lead with a perfect score of 60 points. They performed a sexy samba for their favorite dance and a high-flying contemporary routine for their super-size freestyle.
"Your technique is great but what is good to see is your confidence," judge Bruno Tonioli said after their first dance. "You've grown so much as a performer." After their contemporary number, fellow judge Len Goodman said he wished he had an 11-point paddle.
Coming right behind are Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, who earned 59 out of 60 points for their fierce paso doble and a freestyle routine to "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." "Your chemistry never showed brighter than tonight," Bruno said about the performance, which he said successfully combined Cirque du Soleil with Dirty Dancing. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called it a "happy ending to a beautiful love story."
And, perhaps surprisingly, Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough landed at the bottom of the leaderboard, with 57 out of 60 points. Though their freestyle with the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team was a "real gold medal performance," according to Len, they sacrificed points in their first dance, a quickstep, by breaking the rules with their choreography.
"It is a fantastic routine but you're not allowed to break hold, which you did, you're not allowed to do lifts, which you did," Len said.
The women still have one more dance to perform with their partners on Tuesday, when they have to pick their final dance and music live on TV. Even so, based on performances and scores so far, who's your choice to be the first all-star winner.

Gallery Exhibition explores synergy between art and science
The Penn State Berks Freyberger Gallery will present Art and Science, an exhibition that explores the responses and reactions of artists, through their work, to the research and scholarly interests within the Penn State Berks science division from January 10-February 22, 2013, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 10, at 6 p.m. This event is free an open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.
In this exhibition, artists interpret scientific information aesthetically, using the scientific information as a point of departure for their creative endeavors. Viewers will observe art that illuminates, defines, and interprets the data and information gathered by the College's science faculty members, making it more accessible for some and more intriguing for others. While the faculty's research has provided important and useful information on such topics as mathematics, horticulture, biology, chemistry, and physics—just to name a few—the artists featured in this exhibition have used these discoveries to create other exciting new realities through their work.
The Freyberger Gallery is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact Marilyn Fox, Gallery Director, at 610-396-6140 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Everyone is talking about the C2 Eyon. Tiberius Arms acknowledges that the Eyon is strikingly similar to Angel Eyes but insists that this is new mask. They are definitely downplaying the Angel Eyes pedigree. When Tiberius Arms acquired Guerilla Air, the original developers of Angel Eyes approached them with the idea of creating the Eyon. One of the obvious challenges was to improve on the Angel Eyes design—one that many people loved, but was unable to pass ASTM testing.
We got to see the C2 Eyon mask at Paintball Extravaganza 2014 and they are definitely impressive. Let's take an in-depth look at the C2.
The entire Tiberius Arms C2 lineup is going to focus on close quarters, speedball, and cross over products. Creating a full wrap around view is where they started with the Eyon. When you put the mask on, you definitely get a full unobstructed field of view that is essential for fast-action play.
Cross over products need adaptability. It's a new trend that we are seeing as different play styles, scenario situations, and rules develop. The C2 Eyon includes an easily removable lens. Taking the lens off is a "snap." You fold the lens tabs 90 degrees and it slides right out. Lens adaptability and ease make cleaning simple, but also make it easy to switch play styles quickly. Switching lenses between a bright speedball match with a ton of glare potential to a dimly lit woodsball game is a breeze.
We didn't get the opportunity to fully test the anti-fog properties of the C2 Eyon, but Tiberius Arms claims that they don't fog up. The full thermal system is designed to ventilate properly and a lens coating helps avert the buildup of distracting moisture.
They are a comfortable set of goggles and completely customizable. One of the features we love is the lack of foam covering the noise bridge. This improves breathing dramatically and also reduces voice muffle that some masks are notorious for. The rest of the foam padding is fully customizable. You can move it around to improve comfort or replace it with a different density foam.
Tiberius says that the C2 Eyon mask is "revolutionary." We aren't so sure they are—they strike an uncanny resemblance to Angel Eyes, not to mention the same developers worked on the project. What they do offer is safety that Angel Eyes couldn't.
The original Angel Eyes could not pass ASTM testing. Working with the developers, Tiberius Arms discovered that the shape, angle, and thickness of the lenses was at fault. As a result, the lens shape toward the back of the lens was altered and thickness was increased. The result is a mask that can pass ASTM testing.
We are excited about the C2 Eyon mask. They offer improved safety, excellent comfort, and the adaptability needed in today's fast-moving paintball world. With so much talk surrounding the C2 Eyon and their similarity to Angel Eyes, orders should come in fast. Be sure to check out our ongoing pre-order.

Best Car for Students: A Beater
When I read this latest Bankrate article on the best car to buy for students, I was a little surprised at the very first criteria – less than $20,000. I'm twenty nine, nearly six years after graduation, and have yet to own a car that is even close to $20,000! My current car is a used Toyota Celica I bought off eBay for $16,000, 20% less than the $20,000.
Anyway, so what's my point? Most students don't need and won't appreciate a new car whiel they're in college. They certainly won't appreciate a car that they didn't pay for. While I appreciate Bankrate's efforts in publishing a list of cars that are sub-$20k, fuel efficient (> 21 mpg), safe and comfortable (has A/C)… I think a student needs to drive a beater. A clunker. A piece of junk they can beat the crap out of, hence the term beater. As my dad used to say, if you start life with all the nice stuff, you never learn to appreciate it.

Apple wins case against Samsung in the Netherlands

if samsung wasnt violating the patents, then why did apple win?
165. cheetah2k (Posts: 1577; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
This article is wrong. Samsung phones will continue to be sold, albeit with a differing "Gallery" scrolling method.
What iPhonearena fails to mention, is that the judge determined that Samsung violated patent 2,059,868, which deals with "method of scrolling," and this is related to the viewing of pictures only.
Samsung says that it will replace the software that infringes on Apple's patent (the Gallery application, specifically), which should allow it to continue to sell the phones. Notably, that Gallery application is the standard Android one used in Android 2.3, which also explains why the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not affected by this ruling. Less clear is what the ruling means for other Android phones that use the same application.
An unbiased write up can be found here

only 1 of 10 times were upheld by the court w 1 parent invalidate
not much of a win here for apple
change the gallery app or find prior art for it. . . not a big deal

quite natural :)..on the bright side, i am anticipating a faster ice cream sandwich update for my SGS1 :D

Samsung has a lot to learn from ASUS. I really respect ASUS for thinking outside the box. Samsung has more than enough resources to come up with their own unique interfaces. BTW who said there was anything wrong with stock Android?

Samsung should stand up for the Apple trees and sue apple for copying their name
5. ChiquiKon (Posts: 58; Member since: 26 Jul 2011)
Samsung should work on a couple of updates, remove anything that might be patent infringement and keep on with Galaxy SII line. As PhoneLuver says, they have the resources.
People will soon get sick of all this suing madness.

do u actually read the real stories or do u just make dumb comments? my guess is the latter.. lol
if you actually read the updated article and forget all the sensationalism on PA, the ONLY thing that samsung got hit for was the one and only one patent that dealt with the gallery and how it registered swipes. Samsung already said it will send out and OTA to fix the issue. They arent actually banned.

Isn't that why apple is paying Nokia for past and future phones. They should have invented GSM and 3g instead copying others.
Lol absurdity is a must!

At least only 3 phones will be affected by this. Their budget android phones like the Europa and the Fit won't be going anywhere.

thats right... the SGII will not make even into the US the way things are going.. once the big head Samsung goes down.... we are going after the little fish... . I want to read all the fandroids.. rebuttals to this report.... 5....4....3...2....1....
21. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
are you an idiot? do you really support this? whether or not you love your iDevice, do you really want one company literally booting their biggest competition out of entire countries one by one?
what good does that do, other than proclaim Messiah Jobs as an asshole?
39. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
my support doesnt change anything.. wheter i support or not.. things are what they are... this has nothing to do with support... Apple will still be in business and so is samsung... so just pick a side and watch things unfold...

What up gallitoking? I survived the East Coast Earthquake. The first Earthquake I have ever felt. It's weird to have the ground shake like that, it felt so unnatural. Where I like it was only like a 2.0 but still it was something to behold! In Virginia it was like a 5.9 so that is kinda on the bigger side! Anyway I don't get how people think the iPhone 4 & the Galaxy S II look alike? One has a huge screen the other is small, one is made of glass & the other plastic. What gives? Also power up both phones & you will see the difference, TouchWiz & iOS don't look alike. All you need to do is hold both phones in your hands & SEE the difference. The Netherlands & Germany must be blind. I just don't see how you can confuse them both. You can put a blind fold on & just feel the difference. Glass feels different than plastic! This is crazy!

wow dude good that you are ok. man... good to hear that... for us is hard for us to not distuinguish between the iphone and the samsung copyphone... but for people out there... if they thing the iphone4 is 4g.. camon.. dont you thing they can easy confused them too... again... for them not for us.. i dated twins once.. i could distingush them but most people couldnt. i could see many diferences.. but most people couldnt... maybe is what happening here.. except they are not twins.... they are clones..lol ..sorry had to trow that in there

the infringement is so generic they will use this to go after all competition in that country. A slide unlock .. really?? Wtf.
92. Dman (unregistered)
Don´t worry remixfa.
It has already been updatedhttp://www.engadget.com/2011/0
The only patent infringiment is the scrollable gallery.
A simple update will solve it. And it actually is something from Gingerbread 2.3.

I want to see competition this is a very bad decision. They do copy the iPhone but I rather just see a fine or something. A large one at that.
28. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
biophone, that is reasonable & makes sense. No competition is bad for the mobile industry. Banning products is just plain stupid!

I Agree 100 percent.
51. darth8ball (Posts: 520; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Which only proves Apple doesn't care about it's customers, only it's bottom line. But isn't it the customers that give you that bottom line?
I just don't understand how any reasonable adult in America living in todays financial times could give money to a company that wants to make the financial outlook of a country worse than it is now.

29. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
this is not gonna stop them as Samsung is already on a workaround, and will continue sellinghttp://goo.gl/A5EiG and you really want competition to be gone? you know that will halt the way things are going?
30. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)

47. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Fandroids will as usual backpedal and say "competition" is good. Yeah, sure it is. But copying someone else's design isn't competing. It's patent infringement.
56. waveydavey (unregistered)
Unless, of course, said patents protect ideas as vague and far reaching as those involved here. Everyone who knows anything about patents agrees that these types of broad patents hurt innovation and prohibit variety in the market.
60. snowgator (Posts: 3583; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
As Apple starts to win legal battles - HTC here in the States, the Netherlands now- it is becoming more and more apparent that these handsets are violating Apple. Kinda hard to keep fighting the good fight when you are losing. Samsung needs to fix these things, HTC needs to work out a compromise, Motorola needs to deal with Microsoft, and we can all go back to tech talk instead of legal speak.
71. darth8ball (Posts: 520; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Who copied who.
The first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, launched in 1992. During this decade the popular iPaq (not made by Apple by the way) was launched with touchscreens and optional phone attachments. HTC, the leader in touchscreen phones up until the iPhone and makers of phones like the Nexus One launched their first touchscreen phone, the HTC Wallaby aka XDA in 2002. Apple did actually make a concept for a touchscreen phone (not a mobile, a regular landline phone) way back in 1984!

You are incredibly naive. By this logic, OJ was not guilty, the guys at Enron did nothing wrong, and common criminals aren't guilty because of legal technicalities. Maybe if you left your computer long enough to form an original thought, you'd realize that.
106. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Well considering Apple is winning multiple patent cases and any reasonable person can see the copying I'd say I'm not naive at all.
The problem is this website is full of andrones who bash Apple constantly for everything and refuse to give them any credit. Apple won the case. Game over.

I think you'll find my commentary to be quite the opposite of one sided. You may, however, want to take a look at your ridiculous, inflammatory language in the clear light of your poingnant observation.
137. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Taco, international law is not american law. the standards of proof are not the same. If it had a strong case, the american courts wouldnt have thrown out apples request to ban samsung products in america.
apple won on a small thread of code that is easily updatable and fixable and samsung already said they are going to push an update long before the october deadline.
do you actually read or do u just talk to hear your own voice? lol

Apple has turned into another Micro$oft.
Apple are the rebels against IBM, M$
Yea sure

Wow Apple.. just wow.
keep this up and Apple will eventually see their consumers get angry.. people in general like to see the underdog win.. the "good guys" victorious.
Apple will be seen as a terrible entity trying to dominate using dirty means.. regardless if it's within their right or not, the public won't like it and Apple will fall.
They make awesome hardware and are great phones, they should be focusing on innovation, not these pathetic methods of trying to prevent competition.
I will NEVER buy another Apple product... not for me, not for my kids.

Has it been confirmed that Apple's case is based on Samsung's Touchwiz and not general Android stock features?
If it is touchwiz... Then o-boy don't feel too sorry for them, since they did it to themselves and at any point could have changed them. If it was Android to blame, then it would really suck to be Samsun, stuck between and rock and a hard place.
I am guessing they have updates ready to send out, in case they lost the UI patent cases.
The question will be how long will it take for Samsung to reverse the order?
17. jura21 (Posts: 30; Member since: 20 Jun 2011)
both android and samsung....coz its about the lockscreen (touchwiz has a custom one) and gallery app(core android 2.3 feature)...however,now with the honeycomb gallery app,the judge ruled no infringement, so samsung just have to put the honeycomb(or any other gallery app) on their phones
22. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Do tell me please just how Touchwiz resembles iOS? Please do - I am anxious to hear - how this:
Resembles this:
Or maybe it's Android?
Do tell kind sir.
35. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
The app drawer in touchwiz looks like apple's home screen. I dont care if it is displayed in a different part of the phone and not in the home screen it still looks like the ios verison.
40. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Oh ok. Essentially you're saying that this:
/4095/4745619237_e4acca1dea.jp g
looks like this:
Well holy crap! How about that?
This also looks a lot like it! Maybe Apple should sue Nokia?
Or that?
loaded_files/users_profile/re5 0.560363567.windows_mobile_6_5 .jpg
Or that?
See? I don't think that Apple owns a patent for A FRIKKEN GRID OF ICONS. And if they did - it would have been UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. Just like their claims are for patent infringement.

The GnuSkies Project is an attempt to create a 'Total Plug In' (TPI) application which will eventually contain many features not yet implemented in xephem. The project is still in very early stages of development. Listed below are some of the crude initial modules currently under development. These will likely be updated and can considerably change in the near future.
- Total Plug In (TPI) base - The TPI core which will let the rest of the application be developed as plugins.
- SQL database server (plugin) - with star catalogs, orbital elements for the trajectories of well known objects, etc. It will most likely use the PostgreSQL server for this since that is available under GPL.
- Planetarium-like display facility (plugin) - so objects in the sky can graphically displayed on a computer screen.
- Ephemeris backend - covering the most basic functionality.
- Orbital computation/estimation module
This is a GNU package:gnuskies

A 60-year-old woman died after her she lost control of her three-wheeled motorcycle, which suddenly accelerated and crashed into a home in the Village of Hamburg Friday afternoon, village police said.
The woman, identified only as not being from the Buffalo area, was traveling with a group of motorcyclists and was turning onto Evans Street from Pearce Avenue when she crashed into the house and was ejected, authorities said. The woman, who suffered head and neck injuries, died about 6:30 p.m. in Erie County Medical Center, police said.

ST. LOUIS � Allen Craig is putting up All-Star numbers in about half the games.
Craig hit a pair of home runs, Carlos Beltran extended his RBI streak to a major league high nine games, and Kyle Lohse worked into the eighth inning of the St. Louis Cardinals� 9-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
�I am trying to make up for lost time,� Craig said. �Being on the DL�s not fun, and I�m trying to make the most of my opportunities. I feel like I�m in a good spot, just going out there and having fun.�
Matt Holliday had a homer and sacrifice fly, Jon Jay doubled and walked twice with a steal, and David Freese had three hits for the Cardinals, who punished a pitching staff that entered the game with a major league-worst 5.37 ERA.
Tyler Colvin and Wilin Rosario homered for the Rockies, who have dropped five of seven. Rosario homered for the third consecutive game, but Colorado pitchers totaled four wild pitches, eight walks and an error that allowed a run.
�When you walk eight guys, you don�t give yourself much of a chance to win,� Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. �You just can�t do it; that�s what it boils down to.
�We�ve talked about that a lot, and there�s probably little else for us to say.�
Beltran, an NL All-Star game starter picked to participate in the home run derby, leads the league with 63 RBIs. He has 15 RBIs during the streak, including two on a sacrifice fly and groundout against Colorado.
Craig has 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 40 games in a season abbreviated by injury. He was awarded a bonus RBI single by Major League Baseball on Monday after review of a play originally ruled a fielding error, a one-hop liner that the Marlins� Jose Reyes couldn�t handle at Miami on June 26.
�I did hear about that, actually,� Craig said. �I thought it was a really tough play for him.�
Lohse (8-2) worked seven or more innings for his fifth consecutive start, striking out five and walking two in 7 1/3 innings. He�s 3-0 with a 2.29 ERA in three starts against the Rockies the last two seasons.
�I�m feeling strong, doing the things I need to do to get quick innings,� Lohse said. �My slider was working really good, just about everything was.�
Lohse was tenacious at the plate, too, coaxing an 11-pitch walk out of Josh Outman in the second and singling in the fourth. Manager Mike Matheny said it�s a season best for the pitching staff.
Outman threw five of his first 10 pitches in the dirt and finished with two wild pitches and more balls (36) than strikes (34) in an abbreviated three-inning start, exiting with a 9.00 ERA. Outman, who played at suburban Lindbergh High School, gave up two runs and matched his career high with five walks.
The lefty hasn�t lasted more than five innings in any of his eight starts this season.
�It�s just been a comedy of mistakes on my part and falling behind in counts,� Outman said. �You see what good-hitting teams do in that scenario.�
The Cardinals took the lead in the first on two walks, two wild pitches and a sacrifice fly by Beltran. Holliday�s 13th homer in the third made it 2-0 before Colvin�s ninth of the season tied it in the fourth.
Craig put the Cardinals ahead for good with a two-run homer in the fifth off Tyler Chatwood (1-1), a drive to straightaway center estimated at 438 feet two pitches after a visit from co-pitching coach Bo McLaughlin. He wrapped up the scoring with a 416-foot homer off Matt Reynolds in the eighth.
The Rockies loaded the bases in the fifth on a pair of scratch hits and a walk to Carlos Gonzalez before Lohse got cleanup man Michael Cuddyer to pop out to shallow center on a full count slider.
�Nothing against him, he�s a good hitter,� Lohse said. �But he�s a guy I�d rather face in that situation than Gonzalez.�
Holliday had been 1-for-15 with one RBI the previous six games against his old team after batting .415 (17-for-41) with three homers and six RBIs his first 11 games against Colorado according to STATS LLC.
Colvin is 10-for-25 with two doubles, two triples, two homers and 10 RBIs the last seven games. Rosario, a rookie, leads NL catchers with 14 homers after connecting off Maikel Cleto in the ninth.

Dayton Hayward doesn't sweat the small stuff.
The 15-year-old can't afford to, not with a lifetime of goals in mind and a limited time to accomplish them. Dayton has cerebral palsy, but instead of thinking about what he can't do, Dayton thinks about what he can.
On Saturday, Dayton added an iron man distance triathlon to the can-do list with help from his mom and family friend. The team of three completed the Expedition Man Endurance Festival and Ultra-Distance Triathlon that began at Zephyr Cove Resort and ended at the Sparks Marina.
Together, in about 17 hours, they pounded out 142 miles of race that was paved by unyielding determination, unconditional support and a refusal to fail.
"We were not going to quit. We were going to finish the race even if everyone went home," Dayton's mom, Sherrine Hayward said. "This was not about us. This was about Dayton."
It starts with a swim
The frigid waters of Lake Tahoe were actually a welcome relief for Hayward and family friend Tasha Adams as they slipped in around 6 a.m. The two women were used to training in the toasty 90-degree waters back home in Gilbert, Ariz., while wearing wet suits. The cold water was a nice change.
They wore belts around their waists so they could attach Dayton's raft and take turns pulling him along the 2.4-mile swim at Zephyr.
As dawn approached, the three set out on the first leg of their journey. It was going to be a long day, but tough was nothing new.
"Dayton's life has been tough," Hayward said. "It's just been tough. So why not just keep going tough?"
Without a doubt, Dayton was dealt a tough hand. He has cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder and a visual impairment. Doctors gave him two months to live when he was born, but much like now, Dayton had other plans.
Although he can't talk, Dayton understands everything going on around him and blinks to communicate.
"He knew about triathlons but he didn't know how far an iron man was," Hayward said. "We started talking to him about it and asked him if he wanted to do it and if he could sit that long. He blinked. Blink, blink, blink - that means yes."
Now came the matter of finding an iron-distance triathlon that would accept them. Hayward started looking, but because of Dayton's young age and medical condition, she was met with rejection.
It was an easy way out, but Hayward didn't take it.
"I have never given up with Dayton. There's always a different avenue to take. When it's one of your children, and it's something you feel is important to them or that they would benefit from, then a 'no' doesn't mean there's not a different way," she said. "So I think I would have kept trying until I found somebody, somewhere who accepted him."
That someone turned out to be Expedition Man race director Ryan Kolodge, who spent the better part of a year slapping rejection in the face as he put together his first iron man distance triathlon.
"If people would have turned me down I wouldn't be where I am today," Kolodge said. "People at least need to be given a chance, an opportunity. Why deny this kid?"
Why indeed, because Dayton is just a kid who loves being outside, and like most boys his age, loves things that go fast.
"He loves roller coasters. He loves the wind in his face," Hayward said.
Riding against the wind
Dayton wore a huge grin as the wind whipped against his face on the downhill ride into Carson City. Downhill was the easy part.
Before the coasting was a grueling 8.7-mile climb to Carson Pass. The women switched off pulling Dayton behind them. The combined weight of Dayton and the cart was 125 pounds, but believe it or not the toughest part was yet to come.
Once the team reached Washoe County, the valley unleashed its windy fury as the women tried to pedal over the hills.
"The wind was pushing the cart backward," Hayward said. "We were only going 10 miles an hour down in that valley and that was a little bit discouraging, but when one of us was pulling the other was encouraging."
Their families met them along the way, acting as pit crew every 28 miles as the women switched off. It was the same family support system that got them through training in the first place.
With five and four kids respectively, Hayward and Adams still managed to train three hours per day, six days per week. This usually meant starting at 4 a.m. so they could get the kids to school by 7 a.m.
When Dayton couldn't train with them, the women would simulate his weight with 71 pounds of water in whatever they were pulling or pushing.
"Our team name is 71 Soul because he's 71 pounds and it takes a whole lot of soul to do the iron man," Hayward said.
We push together
It was getting dark as the three entered the final stage of the journey, a 26-mile run to Sparks Marina. Running was their favorite part, not just because it was their strength, but also because they could push together. The run also gave them a chance to talk to Dayton since he was right in front of them.
The majority of racers had long since finished, but the team pushed on into the gathering darkness hoping to finish before midnight. As the sun disappeared completely, two women in a golf cart appeared to light the final miles.
"I have no idea who they were," Hayward said, "but they helped us see once the lights were out."
The Haywards have always seemed to find a way through the dark, and as for Dayton, he became an iron man the day he beat his two-month life expectancy. The team finished 15 minutes before the midnight deadline, and was met by a barrage of friends and family. The real prize, however, was already won miles before the finish line.
"When we're all through and our days are done, I will look back and just be happy for what we've given each other. He gave me a totally different perspective on life. Little things are not as important. It doesn't matter what you look like. It doesn't matter what you wear or how much you make," Hayward said. "Being able to hold your head up is important. Being able to breathe on your own, being able to smile at someone - that's important."
