Forwards: Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Logan Couture, Sidney Crosby, Matt Duchene, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Getzlaf, Claude Giroux, Taylor Hall, Chris Kunitz, Andrew Ladd, Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand, Rick Nash, James Neal, Corey Perry, Mike Richards, Patrick Sharp, Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos, John Tavares, Joe Thornton, Jonathan Toews

Goalies: Corey Crawford, Braden Holtby, Roberto Luongo, Carey Price, Mike Smith
My Picks:
Nash - Crosby - Stamkos
Tavares - Giroux - Toews
Staal - Getlzaf - Perry
Nash - Richards - Carter
St. Louis
Doughty - Weber
Keith - Seabrook
Pietrangelo - Subban
There are plenty of guys, especially at the forward position, that I would be happy with on this team. Tough to leave out speed like Hall and Sharp, and great talents like Thornton and Neal. Defense is an easier pick for me. I never want to see Phaneuf on the team, nor do I want Letang and Subban playing at the same time...too unpredictable. Goaltending? Er..........

Porsche's 918 Spyder Shines
Porsche's 918 Spyder is the world's fastest car—and a hybrid. Dan Neil drives the eco-beast that shattered the Nürburgring record
THERE IS A small red button on the steering wheel of the 2015 Porsche POAHY 2.02 % 918 Spyder, the company's new plug-in hybrid super sports car/Romulan war bird. Press that button if you want to set a record at the Nürburgring.
Germany's idyllic cross-country road-racing circuit, the "Ring's" Nordschleife, north loop, is draped across 13 miles of forested Rhineland, with 1,000 feet of elevation changes, about 170 perfectly epic corners, and plenty of conveniently placed Armco and tire walls in case newbies misjudge the line (all the time). The place is huge, bewildering and magical. If the "Ring" isn't on your bucket list, you need a bigger bucket.
For reasons that exceed logic, the Nordschleife lap record has become the essential statistic when it comes to sports cars, the one fully harmonized measure of a car's envelope of performance, the reference, the result. The "Ring" humbles (Ferrari 458 Italia; 7:32), the "Ring" reveals (Chevrolet Corvette ZR1; 7:19). There is great power in the "Ring."
The Off Duty Fall 50
From the best PB&J to no-sweat bike clothing, here are fifty ways to make your season more stylish
"The Nürburgring is the ultimate test of horsepower, aerodynamics and handling," said 918 project director Frank Walliser last week. In several ways, Dr. Walliser acknowledged, the company's newest supercar is purpose-built for the unique exercise of "Ring" record setting.
Last week, on a bright, cool morning in the Eifel Mountains, test driver Marc Lieb strapped into a black 918 bristling with cameras and antennas, pressed the so-called "Hot Lap" driving-mode button, and tore off down the track for his second attempt of the morning (historians note: his first pass was 6:59). Among other programming changes, the Hot Lap button authorizes the maximum rate of discharge of the car's 6.8 kwh, 385 volt lithium-ion battery—a stupendous 230 kilowatts and nearly 600 amps—for as long as the electrons last.
On the Nordschleife, at full-bore, that takes one lap. One stupendously fast lap. Six minutes and 57 seconds later, as designed, the 918 Spyder crossed the line in a murdering howl, seizing the production-car lap record and leaving the likes of the Gumpert Apollo Sport (7:11) and Lexus LFA (7:14) for dead. Porsche's gas-electric tornado gets around the "Ring" one half-minute faster than the colossal Porsche Carrera GT.
And there was much rejoicing. German engineers are so cute when they're happy. "I cried out for the whole team," Dr. Walliser said later. "There was a lot of pressure and everybody wanted to get the most out of the car."
Now, why is this important to you, dear Off Duty 50 reader? Because, bench racing. If you have to own a car that, fair and square, empirically and probably, just is the highest performing sports car of the early 21st century, your next car is the Porsche 918 Spyder, which begins in serial production Wednesday. And Porsche will build 918 copies.
Buy this car and be spared theoretical matchups in the clubhouse. No bragging from the hedge fundie one locker over about his Lambo Sesto Elemento or McLaren P1 (best "Ring" time rumored to be 7:01). The 918's "Ring" record is the ultimate conversation killer at cocktail parties. Oh, Porsche 918, well, yeah… .
In the very tricky business of building immortal supersports cars—the 911 Turbo, the 959, the Carrera GT—Porsche has done it again.
And if it is snob appeal you want, please, it is a plug-in hybrid. In the U.S., Tesla Model S's are outselling big sedans from Mercedes, BMW and Audi. You can't get more courant than current. Actually, the 918 is eligible for a potential $3,667 federal tax credit for purchase of advanced hybrid vehicles, if you were on the fence about that $845,000 MSRP.
The 918 serves many masters in the Porsche narrative. It is a technology demonstrator, first, showing Porsche's way forward in the engineering of extreme green performance. The car's E-mode, electric-only mode, uses the front-axle mounted 127-hp electric motor for ranges up to 18 miles, enough to get the 918 in and out of city centers (European regulators would like to make big cities zero-emission zones) at speeds up to 93 mph.
To help appreciate the range of the 918's achievement, consider that the same car with a 6:57 "Ring" record also gets somewhere around 79 miles per gallon on the highway.

I was able to grab an hour or so behind the wheel of two 918 Spyders last week, in the Eifel countryside around the Nürburgring complex, with Dr. Walliser as my co-pilot. The 918 is an astonishingly complex automobile, with exotica such as active aerodynamics and rear-wheel steering. The packaging density—that is, the sheer amount of machinery and plumbing concealed under the skin—is comparable only to perhaps a Bugatti Veyron.
Here is a quick sketch: the 918 Spyder is a two-seat, midengine coupe/Targa ("spyder," with its connotations of minimalism, is a little ridiculous) with a full carbon-composite monocoque and skin, sublime in execution to the last millimeter. The top comprises two feather-light carbon panels storable in the trunk (in the interests of safety, the "Ring" record car used a special fixed roof).
The 918 is, roughly, a next-generation Carrera GT (2004), except that the 918 doesn't feature that car's pushrod suspension design, again because of packaging constraints. The 918 weighs 3,716 pounds, 660 pounds of which comprise the electrical hardware, according to Dr. Walliser, including the center-mounted battery pack, power controllers, the two big motors, as well as several clutch-pack differentials. By way of compensation, most of that mass is low in the chassis, putting the 918's center of gravity 7 inches lower than that of a 911 Carrera.
Mounted securely in its carbon-composite space-frame behind the seats is the star of the show: The 918's naturally aspirated 4.6-liter, 90-degree, flat-crank, dry-sump V8, producing 608 hp, a record 133 hp per liter of displacement. A monster, in other words. In fuel-saving Hybrid mode, the powertrain management tries not to rouse the race-bred V8 unless it is really needed, relying on the torque provided by the 154-hp traction motor sandwiched between the engine and the seven-speed dual-clutch rear transaxle.
But when the V8 does ignite, skies darken, the film goes into fast forward and a strangely ferocious presence joins you in the car. One of the curiosities of the 918 is its two coffee-can-like "top pipes," welded thin-steel chambers venting exhaust gases from the top of the deck lid, like a Formula One car. Because of an unexpected backpressure resonance in the tightly nested exhaust track, the 918 has a wild low-rpm gurgle, like an unplugged sewer line. "We call that the Leopard tank sound," said Dr. Walliser. "We couldn't change it so we decided it was character."
Turning up the wick to either Sports- or Race-Hybrid mode fully entrains the V8 and both front and rear e-motors, for a total all-wheel drive system output of 887 hp and 940 pound-feet of torque. Zero to 60 mph goes by in a blink, 2.8 seconds; 0-124 mph, 7.9 seconds; 186 mph in 23 flat. It has a top speed of 211 mph. On my hour-and-a-half test drive, the car climbed swift, snared uphill sections like a runaway belt sander, but it was literally too much car to test on public roads, and in any gear but first, I had to bail out of the tach well short of the engine's celestial 9,000 rpm.
If none of the other drive modes do it for you, you can press the "Hot Lap" button. That guarantees, at least for the next 13 miles or so, you're driving the fastest sports car on the planet.

TAHOE, Calif. — In the late 70's, long boards ruled, disco music thumped through the old Hearthstone in Tahoe City, and a group of Squaw Valley gals hit the road as promotional ambassadors for Coppertone's new sunscreen product called SunGer. Based out of a 32-foot motor home, the SunGer Girls traveled the U.S. hitting ski shows and ski resorts to promote the new product amid the glamour of skiing. Kaye Chandler, a former flight attendant who pitched the idea to Coppertone, was the leader of the tight-knit group of die-hard Squaw freestyle skiers.
"All I had to do was talk my best friends into quitting their jobs, leaving their boyfriends and husbands and packing up their bags for two years," she reflects. "And we did."
Now, decades later, Chandler is putting her organizational energies into creating "The Tahoe Reunion — Legends of the '70s." What started out as a virtual campaign on Facebook has evolved into an actual event set for Sept. 7-9 centered in Tahoe City. Activities include a cocktail reception and dinner at Jake's on Friday, a golf tournament and barbecue on Saturday and other social activities.
"The reunion will be the first time in 30-plus years where all of the people who were part of the Tahoe / Squaw Valley crowd in the '70s are invited. Most of us were in our 20s, healthy, carefree and always ready to party. Racers, mountain climbers, ski school, ski patrol, freestylers, and business owners living a lifestyle few could comprehend. The common thread is that this really was the time of our lives."
Based on Facebook feedback, Chandler is expecting a good turnout for what should be a truly memorable event. But who are the legends of the '70s?
"We all are," she said. "Everyone has a story to tell."

Stetson Volleyball Head Coach Tim Loesch is proud to announce the signing of two high school state champions, McKenna Foster (Ocala, Fla.) of Vanguard High School and Madison Akins (Brooks, Ga.) of Whitewater High School to National Letters-of-Intent.
"We are excited to have McKenna and Madison join our program," Loesch said. "Signing a pair of state champions that hit on the left and right sides will help our team immediately, and for years to come.
"Besides being excellent hitters, these two young ladies share some other qualities that are important to the future of Stetson volleyball. They are athletic, smart, and aggressive. They are leaders, and, most importantly, they are winners. Finding two highly skilled players with all of these attributes fits perfectly with the culture we are building within our program."
Foster, a 5-10 outside hitter, recently led Class 6A Vanguard to a 20-9 record and its first Florida State Championship. She recorded 32 kills and 27 digs in the semifinal win over Fort Myers, then posted 34 kills and 13 digs in the championship game against St. Augustine. The Knights became the first volleyball team in Marion County to win a state championship.
After earning All-State honors as a sophomore, Foster compiled 573 kills (5.8 per set), 300 digs, 65 aces, 33 blocks, and an attack percentage of .479 her junior year. She also helped lead the Ocala Power to a third-place finish in the AAU Girls Championship 17 Club division.
"McKenna has increased her skills and vertical jump dramatically over the past couple of years," Loesch said. "She is self motivated, very coachable and also a great teammate. But what I like best about McKenna is her competitive spirit. She always finds a way to be successful even in adversity, and her resolve rubs off on her teammates. McKenna is a relentless fighter on the court."
Akins, a 6-0 opposite hitter, recently helped lead Whitewater to a 54-3 record and the Georgia Class 5A State Championship. She was a first-team All-State and first-team all-county selection after recording 330 kills, 85 aces, and 68 blocks for the Wildcats. She earned all-area honors for the second straight year and was a senior all-star.
In 2011 Akins helped guide the Tsunami Volleyball Club to a third-place finish at the USA Girls Championships in the 16 National division.
"Madison has developed from a role player into a dominant force over the past couple seasons," Loesch said. "She is a motivator, bringing out the best in her peers with positive encouragement and calm confidence. Madison can play multiple positions, she will carry a team offensively when needed, she is a feared blocker, she can set when needed and she is also a good digger. However, what I like best about Madison is her determination. She outworks opponents on the court and her former coaches say she is the same way in practice. Madison does whatever it takes to win."
Foster and Akins will join the Hatters for the 2013 season.

PRISON or DRUNK TANK
Nearly 3rd of cases in county are DUI
March 25, 2013
(EDITOR'S NOTE: A consultant recently recommended Lycoming County spend $40 million on a new prison to keep up with demand for cell space....
i personally know a repeat offender. i met him the second time he got busted for dui. never went to jail, came home with fines and went to the PRC for awhile. and returned home, without a license for awhile. went right back to the bar.. got another, got a hit and run and the sob is still not in jail. so brynlee could be right, if you werent there to see the sentence YOU dont know the truth..possibly the offender had money and or knew the judge.. you know the old saying, its who you know and who you......... well anyhow

i obviously dont care about statistics, but, i partially agree with brynlee. i mean, a violent death or injury caused by a person driving drunk, is a violent crime so to speak. ok so maybe the drunk driver would never punch someone or put a gun to someone, but, get drunk behind the wheel and kill your best friend or someone elses family is a violent death or injury, and its a crime, so thats where i agree partially. since i dont care about statistics or where they come from, thats the part thats "partially". i also agree that the slaps on wrists get handed down more than you really are aware

Think about it...
Using a base line of 100% (all drivers)
Non Alcohol Related Highway deaths are a larger percentage than those of Alcohol Related Highway deaths !!.
Maybe its time to give those Sober drivers that are Killing children every day The same treatment that DRUNK DRIVERS receive...!
Are the children killed by a sober driver any less Dead than those by a drunk driver..??

Brynlee, first I would like to correct your MADD talking points. 1. the actual number that you cited is incorrect for deaths caused by "legally impaired drivers" MADD distorts the numbers by using "alcohol related"statistics which includes passengers, proximity to bars, and ANY bac .01 or higher...
calling B.S on your courthouse example too. ANYONE convicted of a fifth DUI faces a MINIMUM 1-5 years in prison--non negotiable! Those are minimum legal statutes, not eligible for bench legislation. If so the judge and prosecutors have themselves commited a crime in ruling against the legal statutes set.

I do not agree that DUI offenders are non-violent criminals. 1.2 people were killed each day in 2011 in PA due to drunk driving and 23 people a day were injured in PA in 2011. Drunk driving kills people. They make the decision to drive impaired instead of getting a ride or taxi. If the punishment for this is a slap on the wrist, these criminals will not take the DUI law seriously. I was in the court house the other day when someone with their 5th DUI was facing 3 years in prison and the judge gave them 5 years of probation instead. His blood alcohol level was over twice the .08 BAC. As a driver in Williamsport, this does not make me feel protected from these dangerous drivers, who could kill me tomorrow on the road with their careless decisions behind the wheel.

MADD and drunk driving laws are a major factor in the erosion of personal liberty.
The legal BAC limit is an arbitrary, non-scientific standard set by a small group with little tolerance for any drinking whatsoever.
DUI checkpoints are sick and disgusting in a nation of supposedly free men and women.

Ya know.. if people actually followed the laws we wouldn't have this problem? Everyone needs to stop making excuses about making money and all that bs.. it just comes down to people get caught driving drunk and need to come up with excuses.*****it up and be responsible..

i agree about nonviolent criminals, like drunk drivers, should not be in the jail. maybe a simple scare tactic of a drunk tank, being locked up in a private cell to sober up, i dont know, but what are some suggestions, not that they will listen to us anyhow, but what suggestions would you make to deter more people from drinking and driving? bars could limit how much one purchase but, that customer could bar hop and get more and more. the repeat drunk drivers never learn until they kill someone, and sometimes that wont help either. id like to come back and read what some of you guys think would help deter drunk drivers from doing it again. not being a jerk here, im just curious. maybe judges would listen
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You are all absolutely correct. The D.A and Pennsylvania don't care about anything but revenue. It's funny how they ramp up the DUI limit and there are more non-violent offenders being arrested, wasn't it supposed to deter drunk driving. How bout put more money into education on substance abuse. And really how many deaths actually occur from and driver with a .08, .09 BAC?

Why not have a day reporting for Domestic and Fines and Costs arrears? How many are unemployed? Make daily job search a condition of release and retaining the job unless another is found. if someone is truly unskilled or has no GED, make it mandatory to obtain some training or an equivalency diploma.If an employer down-sized or went out of business, back to job search. This would take a few additional people but seems cheaper than long term incarceration. I bet more would make it than would not if a realistic plan with realistic expectations was in place.

"We're not taking advantage of alternatives but if the DA thinks that's what's fair, that's how the process works."
What a good republican! Up to one man to skirt the laws that are legislated through government. Since the crisis is amplified from the DA instituting his own version of the law maybe the inmate shipping costs should be deducted from his salary. And why do we have judges anymore if they don't use "judgement" in dictating cases or sentences? The country could hire a circus M.C. for a lot less!

The problem in this county exposes itself at the end of the article. Why is the DA left with the decision making ability on what punishment offenders will be given? Shouldn't he only be making recommendation? He refuses to actually bargain in his DUI pleas. He writes up the punishment and threatens to recommend the maximum sentence if the accused do not accept his terms. Where is the judicial backbone in this county? I appreciate all the work Judge Butts has put into the ARD and drug court programs, but she should be judging the accused, not an attorney. DUI would be much less of a burden in this country if it were returned to a civil offense accompanied by fines, community service, and programs based on education. Putting non-violent offenders in prison is useless. A comparison of the punishment given to DUI offenders and crimes of a more serious nature should be concerning. a 2nd time DUI offender could face up to 5 years in prison. Assault carries a smaller term.

Alright, so the SG is going to take credit for this 'P/DT' series. The staff of the SG couldn't form a rational piece of investigative reporting if Everyone saw an event and Everyone formed the same opinion. - ANYWAY; although more than a few letters had been submitted PRIOR to this SG revelation, it is good to see the subject being brought up for opinion and debate once more. - Truth is, 40 years ago any officer with a half decent personality, would tell you to go home and stay off the street for the rest of the night. 10 years prior, they would give you a ride home... Now, Yes, Williamsport NEEDS a 'Drunk Tank' and it Should located be at the New and Improved Williamsport Medical Center. They can facilitate any possible issue that may arise from medical aid to security.

A three-sport athlete for the Green Wave will take his talents to the Newberry College Wrestling team next school year.
Summerville High School senior Chad Wood has signed to wrestle for the Newberry Wolves. Wood, who took down his share of running backs as a Green Wave linebacker and traded in his tights at the end of the wrestling season for a Green Wave baseball uniform, says he is excited to be joining a program as strong as Newberrys.
They have only been around since 05 but they already have a strong tradition, Wood said. They are just very good. I feel like its such an honor for them to give me a scholarship. Their coach is from South Carolina and he has done a great job with the program. They have placed at the top for the nation a few times and they ended up placing second at the team duals nationals this year.
The Wolves are getting a wrestler who received All-state and All-Lowcounrty honors three straight years. Wood is a three-time lower-state champion, three-time region champion and three-year captain for the Green Wave wrestling team.
Wood claimed the 4-A individual state championship in the 160-pound weight class his senior season, when he also helped the Green Wave team finish as the state runner-up. Summerville suffered a heartbreaking 28-23 loss to Rock Hill in the 2014 Dual State Championship match.
As a senior he also helped the 4A/1A South team bring home top honors from the 2014 North/South Wrestling All-star Weekend.
Wood placed second in his class at the 2013 individual state championships and placed fourth in his class in 2012.
He plans to major in education and pursue a career as a coach.

More about Shemberger
Age: 84
City: Pecatonica
Date of diagnosis: 1990, 1992, 2011, 2012
Cancer-free diagnosis: Two months ago
Family: Husband, Glen; daughters Paula and Cindy; son, Kirk; six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Hobbies: Sewing, cooking and spending time with dog Heidi
PECATONICA — A four-time cancer survivor, Dorothy Shemberger, 84, attributes her strength of the human spirit to her survival. In fact, it was just two months ago she was given the fourth all-clear from her doctor.
Her motto is "You have to live to be able to live with it."
It was 23 years ago this slight, quiet woman was first diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a breast removed. It was Stage One cancer, She went through chemotherapy. She resumed a normal life with her husband, Glen.
But, cancer was never far from her mind. She had seen the disease kill three sisters, a brother and her father. Glen had also beaten colon cancer.
While a mammogram detected her first lump, Shemberger said she was always diligent about getting annual exams. It would be another mammogram two years later that would detect another cancerous lump in her other breast. That breast was removed. This time she did not have chemotherapy. Her doctor told her it was a different type of cancer.
"I was fortunate again," she said.
For nearly 20 years, Shemberger was able to put thoughts of cancer behind her. She watched her children and grandchildren grow. She and her husband stayed busy at their home in Pecatonica.
It would be 2011 when severe abdominal pain began to sideline this woman. An exam detected ovarian cancer. She had a complete hysterectomy. Again no chemotherapy.
"I again kept my positive attitude," she said. "Life again goes forward."
But, cancer was not done with this woman. A brain positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed cancer in lymph nodes in her spine and stomach. Upon hearing this news, Shemberger said, "Cancer will always be with me, I thought."
Chemotherapy took her to the most recent news that she is again cancer free.
"They say once you have cancer, you always have cancer, but I've come through it this far. I just have to stay strong, stay positive and learn to live with the possibilities. You just have to keep going," she said.
As Shemberger spoke of her journey through cancer, she did so while wiping tears from time to time. The subject is emotional. She said she talks to her children about their family history. She credits her husband with keeping her fighting spirit alive.
"We just hold our breath and try not to dwell on things," Glen said. "I've always been there for her, and maybe I try to do too much for her, because she likes to do things herself. She is definitely no wimp."
Page 2 of 2 - "It is what it is," Dorothy said with a smile.

COLUMBUS - While Columbian's Seth Williams was walking through the Schottenstein Center on his way to a media interview following his quarterfinal match, a loud scream of disgust could be heard echoing through the hallways.
That scream didn't come from Williams. He was a winner.
Later in the day, Williams was again a winner. That puts him where no other Columbian wrestler has been - the state championship match.

"It hasn't really set in yet," Williams said moments after winning his semifinal. "I'm waiting for it to kick in. I'll get excited, get pumped up and get ready for this next match tomorrow."
"He's ready," Columbian coach Chad Long added. "That's all we can say. You're going to see how ready he is. He likes challenge and people doubting how good he really is. We're ready. We've been eying this up, watching this for a long time."
Williams opened his day with a 6-3 win in his Division II 152-pound quarterfinal match against Warren Howland's David Brian Whisler, someone who Williams has trained with.
"I worked with him all summer and all since last year," Williams said. "It just felt like a regular practice, like we were in the practice room doing normal stuff. I came out on top so that's all that matters."
In the afternoon session, Williams said he was at the best he's been during the tournament, and it showed on the scoreboard as he dominated Benjamin Schram of Bellbrook 13-2.
"My semifinal, I was all warmed up," he said. "I weighed out. I ate good, ate right. Got my weight to normal and just did what I had to do."
"The kid that he wrestled in the semifinals, tough kid, but Seth was just way too good on his feet, and even looked really good turning the kid," Long said. "Typical Seth match. He was able to get some food in his belly. You saw a lot more energy than you have those first few matches. I felt really good with our chances in the semifinals and Seth dominated that kid pretty easily."
Williams already has climbed higher than any Columbian wrestler ever has. Now, he looks to reach the pinnacle when he wrestles Alex Marinelli of St. Paris Graham today for the state title.
"Marinelli, I scouted him a couple times," Williams said. "We're the same style. It should be a good match."
Williams won't be the only Tornado to stand on the podium today. 132-pounder Derik Kopp will wrestle in the seventh place match.
Kopp had an up-and-down day. He dropped his championship quarterfinal match to Kade Kowalski of Dresden Tri-Valley 6-2, but rallied to score a dramatic 5-3 win in overtime against Ron Foster of Lisbon Beaver Local.
Kopp held a 3-1 lead late before Foster scored a takedown in the final seconds. Kopp, though, responded in the sudden victory period with a two-point take down to lock up a spot on the podium.
"It's the best feeling in the world," he said. "Ever since I can remember walking, I always wanted to be a state placer and its finally a dream come true. It's the best feeling.
"After my first match, I was really upset about losing. My coaches just talked some sense into me. You have to let it go cause you can't let it eat you up or you're not going to perform the way you should."
He same philosophy held true after allowing the match to go to overtime.=
"I just had to let it go and keep going. No matter what, just keep going," he said.
Kopp dropped his nighttime consolation round match 11-0 to Noah Whitley of Walsh Jesuit. Long, though said that doesn't diminish what Kopp has accomplished.
"Kopp, he was able to come back. He gave up a takedown right at the end, it goes to overtime and he was able to come through," Long said. "Nice to see him come through because he's put in a lot of hard work . He's put a lot of sweat and tears into the Tiffin program. It's nice to see him get rewarded."
Mason Correll wasn't as fortunate in his 138-pound consolation match. He dropped his first match of the day, 6-3 to Justin Smith of Canal Fulton Northwest and finishes outside the top eight.
The junior, though, says this year's experience will help him as he looks to come back next year.
"It's great just to be able to make it down here. Next year I want to stand on the podium my senior year," he said. "I know that I can make it here now, so my next goal just to place and get up on the podium."
Kopp will wrestle his seventh-place match at 11 a.m. today while the championship round will begin at 5:45 p.m.

Looking back through the events of last week, we had a number of agricultural groups at the Capitol. I was very honored to receive the Pinnacle Award, the top legislative award from the Colorado Farm Bureau, and I was invited to speak with the Rocky Mountain Farmer�s Union membership about current legislative issues and bills. The Colorado Association of Wheatgrowers also held their legislative day.
While the vast majority of Colorado�s population is urban, it�s important for all legislators to know that the agricultural industry contributes $40 billion to Colorado�s economy and supports 170,000 jobs.
Although the snowy weather played havoc with plane schedules, it�s great to see moisture at home. On the flight Friday, the parched nature of the state was all too apparent looking out from the plane�s window. A winter wildfire of about 800 acres in the southeast corner of the state broke out last weekend, another sign of just how dry things are in Colorado.
This week, I�ve several bills in committee, two on the topic of wildfires. Through the Lower North Fork Wildfire Commission and stakeholder meetings since the commission�s hearings, we have a bill establishing parameters for state-initiated prescribed burns.
The bill incorporates Colorado�s local control emphasis, but also addresses the reality of the dangers presented by the combination of statewide drought conditions and the large hazardous-fuels load, easily ignited by Mother Nature or humans.
A fellow senator and I have been working closely on the bill with the director of the state�s fire prevention and control division and a number of interested people, including residents of the Lower North Fork burn area, firefighters, fire chiefs, land managers from the state and national forest services and other state agencies, and agricultural and environmental groups.
We�ve been collecting input, concerns and proposed changes to the first draft of the bill. Hopefully, by doing this outreach in advance of the bill�s hearing, it will receive more support than if we had waited to have this contact with the various stakeholders. We�ll present an amended version of the bill to the Senate judiciary committee for its consideration and for public testimony to be received.
I am cosponsoring another commission bill that will be heard this week to create an out of session (interim) legislative committee looking more broadly than the Lower North Fork commission on identifying the issues and possible proactive steps to take to address Colorado�s risk of catastrophic wildfires. This committee would have a broader mission that could more fully address such areas as statewide forest health and Colorado�s timber industry.
My bill on electronic participation for school-board members was passed unanimously by the Senate Education committee, with an amendment expanding it to include executive sessions if local board policy allows that option. That bill now moves to the Senate floor this week for further consideration.
It will be a busy week as I�ll also have in the education committee my bill seeking to expand students� supplemental online course options in a �blended learning� environment, which is using digital learning with on-site teacher support. The bill includes provision for professional development opportunities for teachers. I�m hopeful that we�ll also see improved broadband access in our region as that, too, will be critical in providing all of Colorado�s students, rural and urban, with the same learning opportunities.

Life will be a beach for Seth Lancaster after he finishes at Hanahan High School.
The senior baseball player has signed a national letter of intent with Coastal Carolina, one of the top NCAA programs annually. Lancaster plays on the infield and pitches at HHS.
"It's a big deal for him and the program," HHS coach Brian Mitchell said of Lancaster's signing. "One of our main goals is to develop players so they can improve and play at the next level. He has always been a very good ball player and his hard work has paid off."
Lancaster has started at Hanahan since his freshman season.
Last spring, Lancaster batted .345 with 28 RBIs and 25 runs scored. As a sophomore, he posted a .358 batting average with 17 RBIs in helping to lead the Hawks into the Class AA state championship series.
He batted .292 as a freshman.
"He has a lot of potential," Mitchell said. "He's about 6-2, 195 or 200 pounds. He's a very strong kid and his arm strength is good. He's a guy that can run too. His 60-yard time is under seven."
Mitchell has high expectations for Lancaster this upcoming season.
"I really expect big things," Mitchell said. "I think he's going to have a great year."
And afterwards, Lancaster will move on to one of the better programs in the country. The Chanticleers have been to 12 NCAA tournaments over the last 13 seasons.
"Coastal Carolina has an outstanding program," Mitchell said. "… Coach Gilmore has done a great job there. It's a good location and they've got great facilities."

Published December 5, 2013
The Bailey Avenue Business Association, under the leadership of new president Abraham Cissé, is partnering with UB to assist businesses along a four–mile stretch of Bailey Avenue near the South Campus and extending further into the city.
The association's goal is to create a thriving Bailey Avenue business district, similar to what's been achieved on Elmwood and Hertel avenues, says Cissé, who owns ABCIS Technology Services at 3163 Bailey Ave. "Everybody tells me how vibrant Bailey used to be," he says. "We want to bring back that vibrancy.
"UB has the resources to help," he adds. "The university is an important part of life on Bailey."
As part of this effort, the UB School of Management's Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) will offer Bailey Avenue business owners a new program to help them be successful. The free program is funded by a $17,000 grant from the Allstate Foundation, a charitable organization funded by subsidiaries of Allstate Insurance Corporation. Allstate has partnered with the CEL and the UB Center for Urban Studies for several years to offer programming for minority and women entrepreneurs.
The Bailey Avenue program will begin early next year and will be held in a yet-to-be-determined community space on the avenue, says CEL Executive Director Thomas Ulbrich. Participants will learn best practices in business planning, operation and growth. They will be provided with a mentor and learn how to access existing resources for business development.
"We are tailoring the program to the needs of Bailey Avenue businesspeople and we are reaching out directly to them," Ulbrich says. "Usually, we offer this type of programming on campus only and open it up to business owners throughout the region."
The Bailey Avenue Business Association hopes to partner with UB on additional programming, Cissé says, and is working with the city of Buffalo to develop collaborative efforts to improve streetscape and infrastructure within the Bailey Avenue district.
There are between 150 and 180 businesses within the district, estimates Cissé, who recently purchased the former Uptown Theater on Bailey.
"I want to reignite their interest in the association by partnering with UB, the city and other partners and stakeholders to offer incentives to join," he says. "Bailey has a lot of potential, but there are problems, too, which we need to overcome by working together."

Now engaged to Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber, Vaughn, 39, says he wants to start a family and settle down.
The funny guy even says he's ready for diaper duty. "It's the first time that I really want to have kids," he told PEOPLE while promoting his new comedy Couples Retreat.
"I've been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You're ready for your life to be about other people and other things," Vaughn said.
While filming the movie – costarring his longtime pal Jon Favreau and directed by another friend, Peter Billingsley – Vaughn spent time in exotic Bora Bora with his soon-to-be wife and members of his family. "We had a lot of fun, which was good, and my sister was there and my nephew was there," he says.
And his buddies have given their approval.
"I'm very happy for Vince. He's marrying an amazing girl," says Billingsley, the former child star of A Christmas Story. "It's a natural cycle of life that we all go in."
But Billingsley admits one thing is dramatically different from the days when Vaughn and Favreau – who starred in the 1996 Swingers – were making the Hollywood scene.
"The parties are a lot different than they used to be – that's for sure!" Billingsley says. "I still come with the point of view to have a great time, but it's kids and strollers and babies and clowns."
Vince Vaughn: I'm Ready for Kids – Really!

Universities of Maryland, Jordan to exchange students
Deal creates first formal reciprocal agreement with University of Jordan
The University of Maryland has signed a new agreement that establishes the school's first formal reciprocal student exchange program with the University of Jordan.
The agreement was signed on Monday during a visit to Jordan by Gov. Martin O'Malley and University of Maryland President Wallace D. Loh.
Officials said that Maryland is the second-largest U.S. import market by volume for Jordan, and that Jordan is the 63rd largest export market for Maryland.
Loh's visit marks the Middle East debut of "MPowering the State," the year-old collaboration between the University of Maryland campuses in College Park and Baltimore.
School officials said that both institutions are set to formalize a partnership with Tel Aviv University and foster new ties with the University of Haifa.

Chelsea Whalley went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run but Stetson fell 8-3 to South Carolina Friday night at the UCF Holiday Inn Select Tournament in Orlando.
Three of the Hatters (1-4) four losses this year have come at the hands of the Gamecocks (5-1).
South Carolina led 3-0 after one inning and 4-0 after four. Whalley's opposite field blast in the top of the sixth pulled Stetson within one but the Hatters would pull no closer.
Demi Meza extended her hitting streak to five games, while Chrissy Morello and Jordan Cleghorn also hit safely for the Hatters.
Taylor Cochran pitched four innings in her first career start.
Stetson will face Texas-Arlington at 11 a.m. and Buffalo at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Both games can be heard live on HatterVision.
Notes: The Hatters and Gamecocks went 25 years between meetings prior to last weekend, but the teams waited just six days before squaring off again ... Whalley's eight RBI this season is a career-high ... The Hatters have hit six home runs in five games.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
The birth of Louise Brown on July 25, 1978 was the first successful result of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a pioneering process developed by researchers Steptoe & Edwards. This event was heralded as one of the great breakthroughs in history. Today it is a common medical procedure.
The process involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside of the woman's body. Once fertilized, it is placed inside the woman's uterus for development, and ultimately, a normal birth. But the IVF process developed in 1978 hardly resembles the vast array of techniques and procedures used today. Over two decades of clinical research and application have made IVF a routinely used, highly effective tool to overcome infertility resulting from a wide range of causes.
The IVF and embryo transfer procedure involves five basic steps, but at the Emory Reproductive Center, each patient's individual medical history and condition is evaluated for customized treatment and therapy. The following is step by step outline of the general treatment.
Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation with Fertility Medication
Step 2: Oocyte (Egg) Retrieval
Step 3: Sperm Collection and Preparation
Step 4: Insemination of Eggs and Development of Embryos in the Laboratory
Step 5: Embryo Selection and Transfer
Success of the IVF Procedure
Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation with Fertility Medication
Fertility medications are used in the introductory stage of treatment. They are designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs (oocytes) rather than the single egg that normally matures during a natural cycle. Retrieval of multiple eggs increases the probability of pregnancy since it means several embryos may be available for placement in the uterus.
The medications used to maximize egg production include:
- GnRH Analogues — Used to suppress the natural production of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) hormones in order to control the menstrual cycle and improve the quantity of eggs retrieved.
- Gonadotropins (FSH) — Synthetic forms of pituitary hormones used to stimulate the growth of follicles in the ovaries, which nourish the eggs. Follicle growth is needed during stimulation to produce healthy eggs.
- Human Chorionic Gonadoropin (hCG) — Used at the end of a stimulation cycle to induce final maturation of the eggs. While these drugs sometimes are used to induce ovulation, when given in this process, the egg retrieval is timed to allow the eggs to be collected before ovulation occurs.
During the use of gonadotropins, the concentration of estrogen and progesterone circulating in the blood reach levels higher than normal. In a typical stimulation cycle, approximately five blood tests will be collected during the course of medication to monitor these levels. The follicle growth will also be monitored by vaginal ultrasound. Once the appropriate follicle size is achieved, FSH is discontinued and a single dose of hCG is given for final maturation of the eggs. The egg retrieval typically occurs 35-36 hours later.
Step 2: Oocyte (Egg) Retrieval
This procedure is performed under conscious sedation and is conducted by inserting a needle through the vaginal wall into the ovaries. Ultrasound is used to locate each follicle and the follicular fluid is suctioned to collect the eggs. Generally, the oocyte (egg) retrieval takes 30-60 minutes. Patients usually go home within a couple of hours after the retrieval.
Step 3: Sperm Collection and Preparation
Sperm for the IVF process is usually collected prior to the egg retrieval. The man is asked to abstain from sex for two to five days prior to the collection, which is usually achieved through masturbation. Stress can sometimes inhibit the man's ability to produce a specimen when needed. In those instances, a semen specimen can be produced and frozen ahead of time. Once the sample is produced, the sperm will be prepared for inseminating the collected eggs in our laboratory.
Step 4: Insemination of Eggs and Development of Embryos in the Laboratory
After the eggs have been retrieved, they are immediately transferred to the adjacent laboratory for identification, evaluation, and preparation for insemination. In the process of collecting follicular fluid, usually many eggs are obtained. We recommend that all of the eggs be inseminated to maximize the number of embryos available for implantation. The prepared sperm is added to each egg, and they will be allowed to incubate for 2 hours under controlled laboratory conditions. In some instances, micro-injection of an individual sperm into each oocyte will be performed in a procedure called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). The next day, each egg is evaluated for evidence of fertilization.
The fertilized eggs will be allowed to develop for one or more days under controlled laboratory conditions before they are placed inside the woman's uterus. Depending upon the patients' wishes, some fertilized eggs or embryos may be frozen and stored for future use in a process called cryopreservation. Before embryos are transferred to the uterus, the woman will receive progesterone which has been shown to create a more favorable environment for embryos.
Step 5: Embryo Selection and Transfer
Embryo quality is a critical factor affecting the success of IVF. The best embryos are transferred to the uterus based on grade and cell number. In some instances, assisted hatching is used to increase pregnancy and implantation rates by enhancing the embryo's ability to escape from the zona pellucida at the blastocyst stage.
Embryos are transferred into the uterus through a small tube or catheter. This procedure does not require anesthesia, as it is usually painless. The embryos are placed in a small amount of fluid inside the catheter, which is threaded through the cervix during a speculum examination.
The embryos are implanted so that they reach the top part of the uterus. Abdominal ultrasound is used to confirm the correct placement. Depending on the patient's wishes and age, one to five embryos may be transferred in one treatment cycle.
IVF Procedure Success Rates
Patients treated at the Emory Reproductive Center consistently achieve pregnancy and live birth at a rate greater than the national average for IVF centers in North America. This is especially significant because we take great care to minimize the number of embryos transferred to our patients during the IVF process. Visit our success rates section for further details of the Emory Reproductive Center's IVF results.
Pregnancy after IVF proceeds in the same way as a spontaneously conceived pregnancy. The exception is that IVF does increase the chance of a multiple pregnancy, which always engenders a greater risk than a single pregnancy. But congenital abnormalities and birth defects are statistically similar to a natural conception.
The Emory Reproductive Center team will monitor progress closely during the early weeks of gestation. The patient will then be referred back to her obstetrician for on-going pregnancy care.

An abnormally cool Arctic is seeing dramatic changes to ice levels. In sharp contrast to the rapid melting seen last year, the amount of global sea ice has rebounded sharply and is now growing rapidly. The total amount of ice, which set a record low value last year, grew in October at the fastest pace since record-keeping began in 1979.
The actual amount of ice area varies seasonally from about 16 to 23 million square kilometers. However, the mean anomaly-- defined as the difference between the current area and the seasonally-adjusted average-- changes much slower, and generally varies by only 2-3 million square kilometers.
That anomaly had been negative, indicating ice loss, for most of the current decade and reached a historic low in 2007. The current value is again zero, indicating an amount of ice exactly equal to the global average from 1979-2000.
Bill Chapman, a researcher with the Arctic Climate Center at the University of Illinois, says the rapid increase is "no big deal". He says that, while the Arctic has certainly been colder in recent months, the long-term decrease is still ongoing. Chapman, who predicts that sea ice will soon stop growing, sees nothing in the recent data to contradict predictions of global warming.
Others aren't quite so sure. Dr. Patrick Michaels, Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Virginia, says he sees some "very odd" things occurring in recent years. Michaels, who is also a Senior Fellow with the Cato Institute, tells DailyTech that, while the behavior of the Arctic seems to agree with climate models predictions, the Southern Hemisphere can't be explained by current theory. "The models predict a warming ocean around Antarctica, so why would we see more sea ice?" Michaels adds that large areas of the Southern Pacific are showing cooling trends, an occurrence not anticipated by any current climate model.
On average, ice covers roughly 7% of the ocean surface of the planet. Sea ice is floating and therefore doesn't affect sea level like the ice anchored on bedrock in Antarctica or Greenland. However, research has indicated that the Antarctic continent -- which is on a long-term cooling trend -- has also been gaining ice in recent years.
The primary instrument for measuring sea ice today is the AMSR-E microwave radiometer, an instrument package aboard NASA's AQUA satellite. AQUA was launched in 2002, as part of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS).

quote: Climate models generally predict amplified warming in the polar regions...In the Antarctic, over the past half-century there has been a marked warming trend in the Antarctic Peninsula.**** Elsewhere there is a general but not unambiguous warming trend
quote: Antarctica doesn't agree with model predictions.
quote: The term Anthropocene, proposed and increasingly employed to denote the current interval of anthropogenic global environmental change, may be discussed on stratigraphic grounds. A case can be made for its consideration as a formal epoch in that, since the start of the Industrial Revolution, Earth has endured changes sufficient to leave a global stratigraphic signature distinct from that of the Holocene or of previous Pleistocene interglacial phases, encompassing novel biotic, sedimentary, and geochemical change. These changes, although likely only in their initial phases, are sufficiently distinct and robustly established for suggestions of a Holocene–Anthropocene boundary in the recent historical past to be geologically reasonable. The boundary may be defined either via Global Stratigraphic Section and Point ("golden spike") locations or by adopting a numerical date. Formal adoption of this term in the near future will largely depend on its utility, particularly to earth scientists working on late Holocene successions
quote: I would think this is an all or nothing scenario.... Either the predictions are right or they are not.

Wednesday, July 2, 2014
Lets get this out of the way early I watched three World Cup soccer games last weekend on TV for a total of a half hour of edge-of-my-seat soccer action.
I had no clue what was going on.
One of the games was broadcast in Spanish and I didnt even know it.
Yes, I am one of those obnoxious Americans that thinks the world ends on the shores of the Atlantic... or Pacific, take your pick.
Still, the more I watched the more I think Im getting the hang of what is called World Cup Soccer.
First off, nobody has any idea who is playing. There is no USA emblazoned across the chests of these jerseys.
No Portugal.
No Brazil and when you do see the host countrys name its misspelled.
Who spells Brazil Brasil?
Thats like the Greeks calling Greece Helenos.
Yes, there are names on the backs, but the only name I know, Blake Donovan got cut before the World Cup even started.
Then I see this player from Uruguay, Suarez, take a bite out of somebodys shoulder and I thought I was watching The Walking Dead.
What would possess a man to rise up during a sporting event and take a bite out of his opponent?
Besides Mike Tyson, nobody knows the answer to that question. What could tick a player off to the point that he decides to take pause during the heat of a game and snack on the shoulder of the opposition?
Again, its all part of the vast kaleidoscope of soccer that I do not, or will never, understand.
But I think Im getting an idea now.
Its all about the referee.
Hear me out on this one. Itll be the only thing that makes sense by the time Im through.
The first thing they do with the referee is stick him on the field with 22 prima donnas and expect him to keep some semblence of order and calm.
He cant do it.
Second, the game is 90 minutes long, except for what they call extra time, which is added on at the referees discretion for time lost due to an injury on the field - which occurs about every five minutes.
Third, the clock keeps time backwards, starting at 00:00 and counting upward to 90 minutes.
So, you know going in, this game is all messed up. Its no wonder nobody scores. They cant keep time right, how do you expect anyone to score?
The clock winds down to zero. The crowd chants, THREE! TWO! ONE! ZERO! and scream and cheer from here to Happy New Year.
But not in soccer.
They count, 58... 59... NINETY!
And the games still not over with.
Thats when the announcer with the bad British accent says, Oh no, we have extra time, and they all wait while the guy carrying the little sign on the sidelines flashes a three, four or five, to designate how much extra time is to be played.
So, he throws up a five.
But thats really not five minutes.
Not exactly.
The USA vs. Portugal game was 95 minutes long, which was about 94 minutes and 48 seconds too long because everything you wanted to see in the USA/Portugal game happened in the last 12 seconds.
It happened that way with all three games I watched. Whatever happened that was worth watching happened in the games last 10 seconds.
And in Spanish.
I didnt know whether I was coming or going. Not until the referee suddenly blew his whistle and without the fanfare of a THREE! TWO! ONE! that was it.
Game over.
Just in time for Sportscenter.

Over the weekend, the singer, 20, had a mini-meltdown online after he visited a Walmart in Wallingford, Conn., and didn't find his new album, Graffiti, on the shelves. "But they had Alicia Keys album ready for release for this Tuesday," he Tweet-griped. "BUT NO SIGN OF GRAFFITI. BS."
He exploded on Twitter in a profanity-laced series of posts. "I'm tired of this s----. Major stores r blackballing my CD. Not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. What the f--- do I gotta do." To the record business, he added: "The industry can kiss my a--." A visit with the Walmart store's management brought him no satisfactory answers, he says.
But the retail store giant released the following statement Monday: "We are surprised at the comments online. All Walmart stores nationwide have carried the CD since its release, including the Wallingford store mentioned in the post. This store actually sold through its initial shipment over the weekend. The majority of our stores today are showing they do have copies available."
As of Friday afternoon, Brown's Twitter account had been shut down, after a final thank you message to his fans.

Canucks' Alex Burrows doesn't like Detroit, says Wings are 'very beatable'
Chris McCosky / The Detroit News
Columbus, Ohio -- Seems Vancouver's Alex Burrows isn't a big fan of the city of Detroit -- or the Red Wings.
When asked by AOL FanHouse about playing Detroit in the playoffs, Burrows said, "We don't mind facing anyone, but as far as Detroit, the only thing I dislike is having to fly there and having to stay there, to have to spend a couple of days in that city."
Well, well.
"Hockey-wise, they're a good team, but they're very beatable," Burrows said. "The last time we were at their building (March 3), we won 6-3. All the teams in the West are good, and any team you play is a tough challenge. No one is a walk in the park."
The Canucks are likely to play the team that finishes sixth in the Western Conference.
Hmm what ya'll think about this?
