Wednesday, October 2, 2013
Emily Schultz, 32, of Summerville, comes marching into the office with her hair in braids, a short plaid skirt, knee socks, white blouse, a bow tie and big, black glasses.
"It's Geek Day," she explains. She makes a great geek.
Schultz grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Monmouth University with a degree in Education and History.
She began her teaching career in New Jersey as a long-term sub but found it very difficult to get a permanent full-time teaching position. The waiting list, she says, was lengthy.
After she married, she and her husband moved to South Carolina and she got a job immediately – at Fort Dorchester High School where she had taught for the past four years.
She has taught World Geography, Sociology, Global Studies, U.S. History, Economics and Psychology – a very broad spectrum all of which fall under the Social Studies umbrella.
She has also been to culinary school – right out of high school – and worked as a pastry chef in a hotel and done everything in the wedding industry from server to DJ. Oh, and she ran a cake decorating business.
Her mom, however, told her all that wouldn't pay the bills.
At one point, she says, she had wanderlust and thought she might quite like to teach English as a Second Language…all over the world.
However, she hated her Spanish teacher and loved history and decided she really ought to teach something she loved. So here she is.
"I really went into teaching for job security," she admits, "but the benefits came later."
"I realized I was making a difference," she explains with remnants of the surprise she felt when she discovered that. "And now I can't imagine doing anything else."
She admits, though, that her first year teaching was overwhelming. "I was in a new state, with a new husband and teaching new subjects…."
It didn't slow her down.
She is department head for the Patriot Academy [freshman academy] helping freshmen make the transition from middle to high school in as painless a fashion as possible.
She has 25 to 35 students each year that she mentors.
She also helps with the National Honor Society, substitute teaches in the evening school and was honored as Rookie Teacher of the Year in 2009/10 for both the school and the district.
For all four years at FDHS, she has been recognized as a "teacher who inspires" by her students.
"Each year, kids who earn academic letters can nominate a teacher who inspired them," she explains.
She works with Education First – a company out of Boston that sponsors student travel – and through them organized a 10-day trip to Italy last year and is working on a trip to the Mediterranean coast this year.
She is married to Jason who owns a machine shop in Summerville and makes racecar parts. They have a cat named Jack.
"My husband is my best friend," she smiles, "we love to do everything together.
They go to the beach, camping and travel together. They also spend a good portion of their time working for their religion.
"I love to read," she say, laughing, "cheesy teenage stuff…like Hunger Games."
Her fitness routine is swimming which has helped her lose 20 pounds.
"I like to watch football and I go to all the games to support the school," she says.
She and Jason have just bought their first house and she is looking forward to planting a vegetable garden and try her hand with flowers as well.
Her life goal is to travel as many places as possible, she says, and "continue to maintain a healthy and happy marriage."
Kids are not on the agenda for either of them. "If I had children I would want to be a stay-at-home mom and financially, I can't."
"And I don't think I would be as good a teacher."
Her difficult experience teaching was discovering what some of her students deal with outside of school. She recalls one student who, she learned, was in foster care and had been raped. "[Learning this] made me grow as a teacher…in minutes."
She says she put a lot of energy into helping this student and then the student was gone and she has no idea what happened to her.
"You just have to move on to the next one," she says. "I learned there is so much more to these kids' lives than a history assignment."
She has no major career goals because, she says, "I never want to leave the classroom. I want to continue to grow and learn and become a better teacher but I never want to be without kids…I am a teacher…I teach."

One woman's moving story of her journey with her mother to find their past and the tragedy that haunts it
In 1937, Edith Westerfeld's parents–before being killed by the Nazis–sent her from Germany to live with relatives in America. Fifty-four years later, Edith decided that it was time to, with her grown daughter Fern, revisit the town she had left so many years before. For Edith the trip was a chance to reconnect and reconcile with her past; for Fern it was a chance to learn what lay behind her mother's silent grief. On their journey, Fern and her mother shared many extraordinary encounters with the townspeople and–more importantly–with one another, closing the divide that had long stood between them.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
In a paper he called "among my most important work since the double helix," James D. Watson. Ph.D., posited a theory that links cancer progression in late stages of the disease to the presence of antioxidants.
The paper was published today in Open Biology, a journal of Great Britain's Royal Society. According to the DNA co-discoverer and chancellor emeritus of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, reactive oxygen species (ROS) pose a dichotomy: They play a positive role in mediating the killing of stressed cells during apoptosis. But when no such cells exist, however, ROS's are constantly being neutralized by antioxidative proteins, causing irreversible damage to DNA and RNA among key nucleic acid molecules and proteins.
"Unless we can find ways of reducing antioxidant levels, late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is today," Dr. Watson said in a statement. "Although mortality from many cancers has been steadily falling, particularly those of the blood [i.e., leukemias], the more important statistic may be that so many epithelial cancers (carcinomas) and effectively all mesenchymal cancers (sarcomas) remain largely incurable."
So much, he adds, for consuming higher levels of antioxidants found in fruits: "Blueberries best be eaten because they taste good, not because their consumption will lead to less cancer," Dr. Watson wrote.
Dr. Watson has long theorized on cancer and cancer policy. In 2009, writing in The New York Times, he restated his call for concentrating federal cancer spending on basic research rather than clinical centers. Two years later, in the journal Cancer Discovery, Dr. Watson suggested that more effective anticancer drug targets may be found through RNAi technologies designed to pinpoint key regulatory and metabolic weaknesses of "always-on" cancer cells, rather than through reversal of "always-on" signals.
In his latest paper, Dr. Watson theorized that the cell-killing ability of current anticancer therapies—from radiation to Taxol and other chemotherapeutic agents—occurs mainly due to the induction of apoptosis by ROS. This, he wrote, would explain why cancers that resist chemotherapy also equally resist ionizing radiotherapy: Both depend upon a ROS-mediated cell-killing mechanism.
High levels of ROS-destroying antioxidants, Dr. Watson added, accounts for cancer cells largely driven by mutant proteins being among the hardest to produce a response via treatment. He cited recent research showing up-regulation of the gene transcription factor Nrf2—which controls the synthesis of antioxidants—both when cells proliferate as well as when such oncogenes as RAS, MYC, and RAF are active.
"This makes sense," Dr. Watson concluded, "because we want antioxidants present when DNA functions to make more of itself."

by whitewonder from North Jersey | December 4, 2010
Bought my '99 G20 in 2004 with 66,000 miles on it. This car owed me nothing. Got rid of it recently because I needed a bigger car for my kids. However, I drove it to 226,000 miles!!!!! Can't beat the comfort of this "baby" Infiniti. I miss it so much! I would recommend this car and have never heard any owner of such a car say anything bad about the G20.

Great car
by G20.net from SouthEast, PA | October 17, 2007
This car is awesome in every way. It looks better inside and out than most of the new cars that are being built now. It should have came with a more powerful engine as an option but oh well. I have 150k miles and its still going strong. I'm getting 25-31 mpg even with morning traffic. You won't regret buying it.

by College Mom from Hampton NH | September 23, 2007
The Infiniti G20 is a sporty, reliable car. It handles well, gets great gas mileage, and looks good. This is my second G20. It has a great sound system and is roomy and comfortable inside. The only thing I have never understood is why Infiniti doesn't give you a cup holder. But that is about the only thing wrong with this car.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Forget volleyball, this was a marathon.
And when the Bobcats reached their final mile, it took a freshman to save the seniors� season.
Miel Diaz served up a kill and three aces on the homestretch of Game 5 of the Ignacio High School volleyball team�s third consecutive match Saturday at the San Juan Basin League Class 2A District 3 Tournament, and the Bobcats used one last surge of energy to sprint ahead of the Mancos Bluejays to secure third place in the league and lock down a berth at regionals for the first time in twelve years.
Ignacio came from four points down in Game 5 to beat Mancos 15-13 and 3-2 after trading the first four games 24-26, 25-12, 25-15, 18-25.
�I�m amazed,� said Diaz, almost choking on her words as her senior teammates cried in the background after Diaz�s final ace ricocheted off Bluejays� wings and out of bounds.
�It feels amazing; it feels amazing to be able to do that.�
After nearly six hours of volleyball with only short breaks for warmups in between Ignacio�s matches � first a 3-1 win over Ridgway, then a 3-1 loss to Dolores � the Bobcats stumbled down the final stretch.
After taking a 2-1 lead over Mancos, the hunched-over Bobcats seemed to lose focus in Game 4, gifting the Bluejays a too-easy win to set up the final frame of play.
There, the teams traded the lead early, until leading 10-9, the Bluejays put down three consecutive kills to take a four point-lead.
Then, Diaz scored a kill to pull within 13-10 and take over serving duties.
With their aggressive serves, the Bobcats served up scores of aces early in the day, but as the miles pounded on, those serves started finding the net as often as they went over it.
After all, �serving tough can go sour,� IHS first-year head coach Thaddeus Cano said.
And that�s how at 13-12 Diaz found herself behind the back line, her stress-contorted brow dripping with sweat as she gingerly stepped up, tossed the ball and struck.
�What�s going through my head is �Don�t miss the serve. This is the seniors� last chance,�� said Diaz, daughter of Danielle Burns.
She didn�t.
One ace, another ace, throw in a Lucero tip kill, and score one more ace for the win.
�Miel, right there as a freshman, just incredible right there,� Cano said.
But it took a team effort all day to get there, led by seniors Destinee Lucero and Michelle Simmons.
�I think we just decided it was now or never,� said Simmons, daughter of Mel Baker and Kelly Herrera.
The duo provided the Bobcats� most potent offensive weapons throughout play Saturday, Simmons with a punishing spike and Lucero with a quick, pivoting tip to court corners that she used to score Ignacio�s 14th point in the final game.
�I can just see it out of the corner of my eye and see what�s open,� said Lucero, daughter of David and Leora Lucero.
For her part, Simmons added three big kills in that final game to keep the Bobcats on the Bluejay�s trail each time they started to pull away.
�The difference was either the end of our season or regionals,� Simmons said about the Bobcats� gut-check moments as the marathon day wore on.
And of her powerful kills: �I just try to put everything into my swing because I don�t want it to come back.�
Cano tipped his hat to IHS athletic trainer Kolin Tomlinson, who has helped the girls improve their strength and conditioning over the course of the season, including their preseason workouts. That made all the difference, Cano said, in getting the Bobcats through 13 sets Saturday.
But it didn�t always keep them perfect, and the Bobcats� biggest weakness was a sometimes-gaping hole in the middle of their court � a hole that cost them.
After a resounding 21-25, 25-10, 25-16, 25-19 win over Ridgway in the first round, Dolores � who Ignacio was hoping to pick off after two losses in the regular season � caught the Bobcats sitting on their haunches and kept dropping balls into mid court.
�We struggled a little with confidence being ready for and going for the ball,� Cano said of his team�s 23-25, 25-15, 25-14, 25-19 loss to the Bears.
But after a finish like Saturday�s finish, the Bobcats� confidence stock is on the rise.
�We�re actually training them now how to win,� Cano said.
It�s working. With their two tournament wins, the Bobcats improved to 15-7 heading into the regional tournament, which Telluride will host after beating Dolores in straight sets in Saturday�s final at IHS.
It�s the Bobcats� first winning record in nearly a decade.
�Very, very happy for the girls,� Cano said. �It�s all about the girls, digging down, right there. �I�m so happy and proud of them.�
�Oh it�s absolutely my dream,� Diaz said of the season so far. �I didn�t think I could do it, but we made it possible.�

Top 5 Posts of 2010 on Mysoorean
Looking at the many "top posts" in the blogosphere this week, I decided to check out mine. Here is a quick look at the five most popular posts on this blog in 2010. From the seldom times I do check my blog traffic and stats, I was not surprised to see which post was the most popular. The other four were a revelation for me. And none of the five posts are from 2010. Hmm....something for me to think about.
Post #5:
The AWED series had me trying out new cuisines in my kitchen. This post about two quick and easy banchan dishes from Korea is at #5. Presenting Spinach Salad and Korean Potatoes.
Post #4:
Thai cuisine is a favorite with us. This Massaman Curry had us craving for more!
A fabulous combination of vegetables in a bhaji. And the contrast in colors makes a pretty sight too. Here is Carrot and Beans Palya.
Post #2:
A nutritious curry with dal and lots of vegetables. Here is Mixed Vegetable Kootu.
Top Post #1:
Like I mentioned earlier, was not surprised to find Bisi Bele Bhath being the most popular post, with almost 7 times more hits than the second popular post. I was horrified to see that the picture was a really bad one, from the time when I was using an old camera and had virtually no photography or editing skills. This is the trimmed version of the bad picture. I MUST get better pictures of BBB next time and post them soon!
Thank you all for visiting my blog. Happy New Year!

While Windsor's quaint downtown district may seem like it couldn't be any more isolated from the nation's roaring gun control debate, two of the country's driving pro-gun forces have quietly claimed a downtown bank building as their headquarters.
But if you're like many of the town's residents, you probably didn't know that.
The National Association for Gun Rights — one of the nation's largest and fastest growing gun lobbying groups — has called the office at 5th and Main Streets home for about a year and half, said Dudley Brown, the group's executive vice president.
NAGR shares the posh, second story offices with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners — Colorado's largest gun advocacy lobby, which Brown founded in 1996. Under his leadership, the two groups keep a finger on the pulse of state legislatures and politicians who, they say, have been launching an all-out attack on citizens' rights in light of a series of deadly shootings.
"We are unapologetic about our views on the Second Amendment," Brown said adamantly during a phone interview. "It means what it says. And we are not kind to politicians who vote to restrict that right."
He explained that much of the Windsor and northern Colorado community has stood behind the two groups, despite the recent tragedies. He said NAGR itself has more than 2 million members nationally and their numbers continue to soar as the gun issue dominates daily headlines.
Despite the strength in numbers, the unsigned building across from Pike's Auto Care Center, doesn't draw attention to itself.
"I had no idea it was here," said Louis Beard, a longtime Windsor resident.
Beard, 66, has lived in the community since 1980 and considers himself reasonably well-informed. He identified himself as an unaffiliated voter, acknowledging that he has "probably" voted for more Republican presidents in the past.
Though admittedly not a fan of having such a powerful group in town, he said the group does have every right to be in the community. The apparent secrecy did make him suspicious that it was "something less than savory" and could bring an added charge the town might not desire.
"It certainly isn't something that I would have an interest in having in my town," he said.
Windsor-based NAGR is not afraid to make its mission known. Their Facebook page is lined with pro-gun photos and advertisements, many criticizing Democratic lawmakers on their recent legislative efforts. With more than 746,000 "likes" on the social media site alone, they've become a powerhouse since forming in 2001.
The group prides itself on grassroots efforts and is often critical of the National Rifle Association's compromise on gun issues.
"NRA publicly has always supported some of the things the White House is talking about," Brown said. "We don't. I make no qualms about it. We think the NRA is quite weak on the gun issue."
To make its message known, NAGR draws on its membership dues. Tax records from 2011 indicate the group earned $3.76 million — double what it collected in 2010 — signaling its rapid growth. Most of that money goes toward lobbying across the state and includes direct mailing and person-to-person outreach. They also sponsor concealed carry and gun safety classes.
The group hosts weapon and ammunition "giveaways," announced through social media alerts and email blasts and has apparently increased as lawmakers grapple with potential changes.
Brown splits responsibilities between NAGR and the "no-compromise" RMGO. That group has come under fire repeatedly for its relentless gun advocacy. Throughout January it advertised its AR-15 giveaway with the help of Loveland's Jensen Arms.
The winner was announced Friday as about 50 gun supporters and numerous media outlets crowded in the small shop. Nearly 30,000 eligible applicants from across Colorado vied for the weapon, Brown said, which has become increasingly rare in shops across the state.
The bare racks and shelves at Jensen Arms were indicative of that.
"It is not a stretch or an exaggeration to say our rights are literally on the chopping block right now," Brown told the group Friday. "I've never seen anything like this happen. It's like wildfire."
Brown said the Colt AR-15 and 100 rounds of ammunition were picked for the giveaway simply because it is "the firearm most likely to be banned."
"It's the one everybody wants right now," he said.
When asked whether he thought the move was insensitive considering a series of mass shootings using the assault rifle, he didn't waver, instead urging everyone to make their presence known to their elected representatives.
"Anytime we do anything, the liberals and gun-grabbers always whine and moan and say 'that's terrible,'" he said.
Beard, the Windsor resident, saw things a little differently.
"To me, a handgun is just as distasteful as an AR-15," he said of the giveaways, adding that the assault rifle was "much more emotionally charged."
"It's insensitive but not untypical," he said.
Together, NAGR and RMGO employ about 20 people in Windsor — easily making it one of the largest establishments in the downtown area, filled mostly with hair salons, coffee shops and clothing boutiques.
There's no pomp and circumstance — no banners on the front door. Just a sign that says "501 Main St." It would otherwise look abandoned and forgotten if not for vehicles occasionally parked in the rear with pro-gun bumper stickers.
Upon entering through the front door, stairs leading to the second floor are labeled with the groups' logo. The first floor is used for storage, lined mostly with mouse pads, T-shirts and stickers, Brown said. Upstairs, employees focus on outreach, legal questions and legislative monitoring in offices lined with rich hardwood floors and ambient lighting.
No gun sales happen in the office, Brown said.
He admits that having such large gun groups set up in the quaint, 20,000-person, community may "change the face of sleepy downtown Windsor." He explained there was no real need to fly a flag or drape a banner across the front, adding that it wouldn't necessarily help the groups' mission, which is to educate gun owners and supporters on firearms issues.
The move to town, he said, was simple — it was a great deal on a great location not far from his Severance home, where he has lived for the past four years.
Regardless of their rationale, Beard said it was critical that the community begin talking about the group that many may not have ever known existed.
"I think that is the problem with having this kind of organization in Windsor — it's a lightning rod — it could be a divisive business to have in town," Beard said. "I don't think it does the town any good to have it. I don't think it does the town's reputation any good."

Drew Barrymore and her fiancé Will Kopelman are playing tourists in Paris this week, shopping and sightseeing around the city.
Barrymore, 37, who is rumored to be pregnant, donned her nearly 4-carat engagement ring as she spent more than two hours Tuesday at Chanel on the Right Bank.
(This could be Drew's big chance for a dream shopping spree, because Kopelman's father is the former president of the fabled fashion house.)
While she was in and out of the stores, Kopelman perused art galleries on the Left Bank's Rue de Seine.
Tuesday evening, the recently engaged couple enjoyed a romantic dinner at Chez Georges, a classic 1950s style bistro on Rue de Mail.
On Wednesday, Kopelman went for an afternoon jog while Barrymore headed for the St. Michel district.

Mount Aloysius students were at the mercy of the elements Wednesday night as they camped out at the Ihmsen Residence Hall breezeway in Cresson.
Despite temperatures in the 20s, students camped out to raise awareness of homelessness as part of the National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, freshman Michaela Patton said.
"Homeless people don't really get to pick their conditions," Patton said.

Penn State Altoona members of B.U.S.T. (Being United for Social Transformation) Joe Scott and Alyssa Gubicza make signs explaining "Cardboard City."
The week before Thanksgiving is dedicated to raising awareness of homeless individuals and the challenges they face while increasing the community's engagement and aid efforts, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless.
On the Cresson campus, Patton worked with classmates Ciera Venturato and Andrea Butler to organize the event. All three students receive credit toward completing their cultural literacy course requirements for community service projects, Patton said.
About 35 students signed up to attend the campout, she said. Students were allowed to bundle up in any ways possible but had to incorporate a cardboard box into their sleeping arrangements for the night.
At Penn State Altoona, students planned Wednesday night to inhabit their own "cardboard city campout."
The event helps to raise awareness of homeless individuals, but students also use the event as a fundraiser to collect nonperishable foods and goods to donate to local food banks ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, Altoona College student Chrislee Clifford said.
"It was an eye-opener," Clifford said about last year's campout.
Students enrolled at the Mount Aloysius Mercy Presidential Scholars program attended a "hunger banquet" event on campus Tuesday, Sister Nancy Donovan of the Sisters of Mercy said. The students were assigned fictional economic groups and then fed meals according to their economic status - with the students assigned to the low-income bracket served a small bowl of rice without any eating utensils.
"It made me thankful for the life that I have," sophomore Tiffany Clingerman said.
The students saw the global impact of hunger and homelessness during the exercise, Donovan said. Students in the fictional "upper class" groups only made $12,000 a year, well below standards in the U.S., she said
Combining the hunger banquet and campout allowed students to experience the struggles homeless individuals face first-hand, Patton said. Before their campout, participants watched a movie documenting real-life stories of homeless individuals, Donovan said.
"We kind of tied our two ideas together. That way it could be a bigger project," Patton said.
Penn State Altoona students from Being United for Social Transformation researched homelessness in the U.S., Clifford said. The group and other students involved in the campout planned to have a discussion Wednesday night as they braved the weather.
No matter how cold the weather gets, students will not understand the enormity challenges homeless individuals face, Clifford said.
"You can't compare it to reality," she said.

What Types of Machines are Available to Kill Mosquitoes for Good?
Everyone knows the annoyance of trying to enjoy a nice night on the patio while being bombarded with an onslaught of mosquitoes. This leads many people to search for mosquito killer machines which can make their nights outdoors much more bearable. Unfortunately, people rarely realize that these machines are even an option, and often just buy aerosol repellents. While these work, certain machines can get the job done quicker.

Temperature reaches record low in Erie
Baby, it's cold outside.
Erie temperature hit a record 5 degrees below zero shortly before 9 p.m. Monday, beating the record low of minus 3 degrees set in 1996. More records were sure to fall today, in which the record low of minus 3 was set in 1970. The high temperature today will reach only about 2 degrees, and gusting winds will make it feel like 30 to 40 below zero, National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Mitchell said.
Those temperatures are thought to be the coldest in the region in two decades. In January 1994, temperatures were as low as 18 degrees below zero and remained below zero for several days, Mitchell said.
Frostbite is a danger when the temperature drops so low, and the danger increases with strong winds. "It doesn't take long to freeze exposed skin," Mitchell said.
The cold prompted the closing of all Erie and Crawford county public schools and most parochial schools today. Cathedral Preparatory School and Villa Maria Academy are open.
Waste Management garbage pickups scheduled for today will be delayed until Wednesday, also because of the cold. A company spokeswoman said she couldn't remember the last time, if ever, that pickup was delayed because of weather.
Wesleyville Borough will also delay garbage pickup until Wednesday. Erie crews will collect garbage as scheduled today.
Snow and wind caused the cancellation of all early flights to and from Erie International Airport today. The airport remained open through Monday, though most commercial flights were canceled.
"It's winter in the Northeast, and then some," Erie International Airport Executive Director Chris Rodgers said. Travelers should check with airlines to see if flights scheduled for later today are a go, Rodgers said.
Snow also disrupted traffic on Interstate 90 on Monday. The New York State Thruway was closed to commercial traffic Monday afternoon and to all traffic between Ripley and Buffalo later Monday. Up to seven inches of snow in the Erie-Chautauqua region was predicted Monday night, with an additional three to five inches of snow in and around Erie today.
Staff at the Travel America Center in Harborcreek Township were prepared to take in travelers possibly stranded.
"We have our full staff on here in all departments," said Colleen Sadler, fast food manager at the truck stop. "There isn't a whole lot else we can do but keep the doors open in case people need a warm place to go."

As we approach the end of summer, how many fireflies have you seen? I haven't noticed a single one. Where are they? When did they no longer become a regular summer attraction with their blinking and flashing and dancing around our yards?
As kids, we called 'em lightning bugs, and they were everywhere. When the evening arrived, so did they.
They were as much a part of those summer months as were lazy vacations and sunburned toes.
I think the last one I saw was in Maggie Valley about four years ago. Have they left the coast and moved to the mountains?
Gone in a flash
Technically, our scientific community says a firefly is a winged beetle.
Researchers are still unsure why we used to see 'em and now we don't. The biggest finger seems to point in the direction of development and light pollution.
Humans have encroached more and more on places fireflies prefer to live.
Toxic chemicals might also be a contributor. In our ongoing effort to eradicate pesky mosquitoes from our swamps, marshes and backyards ... maybe lightning bugs have been unintented victims?
Summers don't seem the same without lightning bugs. They were our fluorescent friends that came out each evening for our viewing pleasure.
Sometimes, trying to catch a few in a mayonnaise jar was just the perfect activity before eating a nutty-buddy and getting tucked-into bed. (While we're humming "Kum Ba Yah," anybody else ever bite the bottom of the nutty-buddy and suck the final few ounces of ice cream?) Sorry for the detour .. .let's get back to our fireflies.
If the bugs have packed their bags and headed for the hills, could it be that since this area has become so popular, we're no longer lightning-bug friendly?
Maybe they're still hanging around Jeremy Creek in McClellanville? There's a chance the monks might still see a few at Mepkin Abbey.
And since 70,000 lady bugs were recently released at Magnolia Gardens, surely some flashes of light had to be seen along the banks of the Ashley River.
Bring 'em back
Lawn and garden stores are full of items that help us add beauty to our yards.
Many homeowners cut and prune and weed for hours to manicure the outside of the house so that it looks just as well-kept as the inside.
As it turns out, lightning bugs don't really care for that.
They prefer long grass, standing water and rotten logs.
They're also more apt to appear if outside lights are turned-off.
Personally, I think they started leaving for other reasons some years ago, and we're just now noticing.
We're told male and female lightning bugs flash each other in order to communicate. Some actually synchronize the blinking. If they don't talk to each other, it's fair to assume they don't rendezvous.
Maybe all this time they were trying to tell us something.
Maybe there's still a message about not appreciating something until it's gone.
It probably speaks more to when summers were simpler. When the front door had a screen on it and kids played outside after dark.
When parents spent evenings on porches talking to their children and less time buying something to occupy their time.
Kind 'a wish the lightning bugs would come back. It might help all of us to see things in a different light.

Bought this for my sister's birthday, she loves to visit different places around the UK and thought this was a brilliant idea. Nice size and good quality. She hasn't scratched any off yet so can't comment on how well that works 😀
Arrived in a bullet proof container and kept us entertained for quite a while reminiscing on places we've been and making plans to visit new counties in the coming year.
The maps are something different great for the kids delivery was slow but nothing to do with you guys overall a great Christmas gift...
The map has proved to be an excellent, and fun teaching aid for my 10 year old grandson. He is learning about the UK in his geography lessons at school and finding, then scratching of any county that he has visited is really helping him to remember the names of the counties and their position in the county.
I bought this product for my husband for Christmas. We spend a lot of time outdoors and are always looking for new places to explore. This is perfect for seeing where we can visit next. I'd seen the world scratch maps but pleased I found this one as we spend most of our time in the UK. Just like a scratch card it is easy to scratch off but you have take your time so that you keep the territory edges neat. I will be purchasing another for a friend who also loves to travel the UK!
Was this helpful?
, I thought it was excellent to see a uk version of this scratch map, I bought this for my dad as he sails around the Scottish coast and parts of Ireland as he can scratch all the places he's been. an excellent idea he was impressed.
product was exactly as it appeared to be on the web site- decent size and excellent quality. Thank you.
Bought it as a Christmas present for my partner and he was over the moon with it
This was bought as a present for a friend who is constantly looking fro interesting weekends away. She loves it, it's given her loads of new ideas, a challenge to scratch off as much as possible next year. The quality is great, the print underneath is interesting with lots of detail Highly recommended, and I expect that the world map is just as good.
Bought as a Christmas Present for my father, I expect he'll love it! Cute, quirky adorable item, to make a funky different to the norm Christmas Present. Item arrived quickly, good condition, the tube was slightly damaged / squished during transit, one crease in the middle of poster because of this, apart from this I am extremely pleased and cannot wait to give it Christmas Day!
I have bought this as a Christmas present, I have no doubt that the person will love it.
And educational too .... Bought as a gift and seemed to be well received ...
Exactly what I was looking for, great present very happy.
This Scratch Map - UK Edition was a gift and it was well received. Good fun scratching off the counties visited and educational too.
Good product that looks quite professional. Could do with a bit more detail on the foil to show more towns/cities to prevent you having to scratch off whole counties.
I bought the Scratch Map - UK Edition for my kids to teach them about the UK and they love it!
I bought the Scratch Map - UK Edition as a Christmas present for myself as I would like to go to every place in the UK and thought this is ideal to have. Only downside is that it is divided into counties rather than cities, but it will still be a good record to have.
This Scratch Map - UK Edition is brilliant! I bought it for my grandad who loves to travel all around the UK and he has almost scratched it all off. It was bigger than expected, and he loved it to bits. This was a great buy!
This was a really great buy, I love looking at my map and seeing where I have travelled to, it makes me remember all the good memories I had there. Its also really great value for money and i think would make a good present.
The Scratch Map - UK Edition is a great present for my partner and I to track where we've visited.
Brilliant quality, and well protected in the tube to protect from accidental scratches. We're already making a list of places to visit, just so we can scratch them off.
When the Scratch Map - UK Edition arrived we were very keen to begin scraping foil from the counties so green. It soon made us realise that the UK had so many counties to visit one day. Most recently we drove to Shire of Shrop and now with the travelling bug we just cannot stop! If it wasn't for Scratch Map UK gift to self many fine UK counties would remain on the shelf. So what do we like most about this great gift? Well, it brings to your holidays an additional lift. When, following a journey, taking out a shiny penny to reveal a new shade of green amongst many. Of course the Map is educational too - there are over 85 UK counties; who knew?! We can't recommend the great Scratch Map enough it belongs on the wall of 'most brilliant stuff'. And therefore it carries the top five gold stars for encouraging journeys afar in our cars!
This Scratch Map - UK Edition is great. My Girlfriend thinks I should get all her Christmas presents for all her friends because I come up with some really unusual stuff.
The Scratch Map UK Edition is a great item. It's a good size map of the UK and Ireland. It's been an excellent present!
This Scratch Map UK Edition Super gift when you have run out of ideas. Particularly good for men because it's a bit different, I'm extremely pleased. I bought two and now thinking who else may like one, such a great idea.
The UK Edition of the Scratch Map was an excellent gift for Father's Day. My husband and the children spent hours remembering all the places we had visited on holidays and had great excitement finding them on the map. The most difficult part was finding the actual places on the map because of its small scale. You also had to be very careful, as the scratch coating was easily damaged. Overall we were extremely pleased with our purchase.
The UK Scratch Map arrived in good time and was in excellent condition. Only critique would be that it was slightly smaller than I had expected but that is my fault for not checking the description properly!
I love to show off my Scratch Map of the British Isles.
This Scratch Map UK Edition was a really good present. It looks very stylish.
I got the Scratch Map as a present and she loved it. It's great quality, the whole product is shiny so looks good in a frame. Around the UK there was information which was good, definitely a great present or to keep for yourself to show off where you have been. Only problem is because it's rolled in a tube it won't stay flat but as mine is in a frame it's ok.

Lea Michele Is Over the 'Super-Frustrating' Diva Rumors
"I don't even remember a time when he wasn't my boyfriend. No one knows me better than Cory," Michele, who graces the cover of Marie Claire's January issue, told the magazine.
"No one knows what it's been like to go through this more than he does. Feeling like you have that net underneath you allows you to jump higher and go farther. He makes me feel like I can do anything."
The Glee star, who is so thankful for Monteith, says she isn't always perceived to be so gracious. But Michele brushes off the rumors about her Rachel Berry-like attitude.
"I can assure you that [diva rumors] aren't real," the 26-year-old said. "It's super-frustrating sometimes, and I used to fight back, but now I feel like, 'You can think what you want to think about me – that's OK.' "
Courtesy Marie Claire
With a booming career and a loving boyfriend by her side, it's no wonder Michele doesn't pay the naysayers much attention.
"For the first time in my life, I feel really, really settled and happy," she said. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."

1999-2004 Buick Regal Air Cleaner Assembly (excluding Supercharged Models)1AEAC00010-346536
This part replaces:
- Hollander 319-06105, 319-06131
- Dorman 258-506
- New
This air cleaner assembly is just what you need to get your vehicle in good working order again.

- Built to strict quality control standards
- Fits 6 cylinder, non supercharged engines only
Fit and Installation
This part is designed to replace the factory air box with no modification. Removing and replacing an air box is generally a straightforward repair. During a typical replacement involves disconnecting the engine air tube, unbolt the box then replace and reassemble.
The Correct Fix
Air cleaners used to be the round, big, and ugly things right on top of the engine. Modern fuel injected engines can use cooler air to make more power. To take advantage of this, manufacturers moved the air intake and filter to the front of the vehicle where it can easily pick up the coolest and most oxygen rich air. The air boxes also allow a square filter design that is more efficient. Many air boxes are broken during routine maintenance. Either the person changing the filter does not know where all the bolts are or exactly how the box comes apart so they try to "force" it and the box breaks. Another common issue is that the mounting bolts are over tightened and the area around them breaks. The boxes can also crack from the constant vibration and changing temperatures in the engine compartment. It is very worth wile to fix these problems correctly. Fuel injected engines and their electronics require a controlled stream of air. Breaks and cracks in the air box disrupt the air flow causing rough running and poor fuel economy. A broken air box can also allow unwanted dirt and contaminants to enter your engine. This can foul your Mass Air Flow sensor which is an expensive repair and/or prematurely wear out your engine which is an even more costly repair. Replace your air box with the right part the first time. You will save money in the long run.

BROCKWAY, Calif. — The CEO of a Northern California contracting company died in an apparent accidental drowning incident Sunday in Lake Tahoe, an official has confirmed.
According to Placer County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jeff Ausnow, the body of Graniterock CEO Bruce Woolpert, 61, was found floating in the lake offshore from the condominiums at Brockway Shores, near the Nevada/California state line on the North Shore, on Sunday afternoon.
"He may have fallen from the dinghy while mooring the boat," Ausnow said. "There are no signs of foul play."
Woolpert was reportedly last seen towing a dinghy with a boat out to his buoy. Law enforcement found the dinghy downshore, along with the paddles.
Keith Severson, public information officer for Graniterock, said Woolpert was alone at the time of the drowning. Word spread through to the family and to the executive board of the company, he said.
"I've heard people say he was a great industry leader," Severson said. "He certainly had an interest in educational improvement and community improvement."
Graniterock is a construction material supplier and heavy engineering contractor based in Watsonville, Calif. Woolpert was the third generation to lead the family-owned company, which was founded in 1900. Board member Mark Kaminski will serve as acting CEO.
"Mr. Woolpert has led Granite Rock Company through a period of systemic culture and business focus change, resulting in significant improvement in customer satisfaction, loyalty, and repeat purchase," according to a biography from Graniterock. "He strengthened the Company's product quality leadership through the introduction of problem-solving methods."
Woolpert leaves behind his wife, Rose Ann, and two children, Marianne and Arthur.
The incident is still under investigation.

WNC records softball sweepMarch 8, 2013 —
After a horrific start to the season, the Western Nevada College softball
team is starting to hit its stride.
The Wildcats, who started the Scenic West Conference season with eight
straight losses, have won five of their last six including a doubleheader
sweep of North Idaho College, 5-4 and 7-2, Tuesday at Edmonds Sports
The teams continue their four-game series today at Edmonds with a
doubleheader starting at 1:30 p.m.
³It¹s huge,² WNC coach Leah Wentworth said after the sweep. ³We were able to
sustain our momentum from the weekend (3-1 record vs. Colorado
Northwestern). This is the best pitching we¹ve seen all year, and we¹re
really starting to get comfortable at the plate. We¹ve been able to make
adjustments we¹ve been working on.²
Simply put, the Wildcats won this one with the long ball. Homers by Andi Lee
and Sydney Darby (two) accounted for seven of WNC¹s 12 runs in the
twin-bill. The Wildcats also got some strong pitching from Ali Lostra and
Carlee Beck. Lostra allowed just one earned run in her complete-game
performance, while Beck allowed two runs and seven hits in her six-inning
North Idaho took a 1-0 lead in the second thanks to two walks, a passed ball
and two sacrifice bunts.
WNC stormed back with three in the third.
Jenny Quam had a one-out infield single and moved to second when Madi
Gonzalez beat out a bunt. After Darby popped out, Lee hammered three-run
homer to center to make it 3-1.
³It felt good going off the bat,² Lee said. ³ I knew it was going. I was
looking for a base hit, not a homer. I had a burst of energy. I was so
North Idaho cut the deficit to 3-2 in the fifth thanks to an unearned run.
Lostra wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam by retiring Desirae Tinoco on a
soft line drive to third.
The Wildcats went up 5-2 in the fifth when Darby launches a two-run homer
with two outs.
³We¹re starting to come up with timely hits,² Wentworth said.
North Idaho scored twice in the sixth, and both were unearned thanks to a
two-out error by Jen Rechel. Lostra ended the inning by striking out Shelby
Carter on a change-up.
Lostra struck out four, walked two and hit a batter. She made big pitches
when she needed them.
³Ali was a true warrior, fighting through some pain,² Wentworth said. ³Our
goal was three innings and after that it was an inning at a time. She did a
great job going the distance.²
³I¹m real sore.² Lostra said. ³I was focused on defense. The adrenaline
kicked in during the middle and end. Our defense helped. It was a great team
In the second game, Idaho struck first again with two runs in the second,
but it was all WNC after that.
A double by Amber Meyers and a single by Nikki Ragsdale accounted for the
runs and a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the second.
A wild pitch scored Lee to make it 2-1 in the bottom of the second, and the
Wildcats followed that with four in the third for a 5-2 lead.
Quam and Gonzalez both walked. Quam stole second and third, and scored on
the second stolen base when the catcher threw wildly to third. Darby
followed with her second homer of the day. Lee followed with a triple off
reliever Lauren Potts sand scored on a single by freshman Cara McCarthy, who
went 3-for-4.
WNC had a chance to do major damage, but Potts worked out of a bases-loaded
situation to end the inning.
Lee and McCarthy added run-scoring singles in the fourth to make it 7-2.
Beck struck out one and walked three in six innings before turning the ball
over to Lexie Alley, who worked a scoreless seventh.
Carson baseball wins season openerMarch 8, 2013 —
Jace Zampirro and Gehrig Tucker are expected to be key contributors to Carson High's baseball team this year, and in Thursday's season-opener against Elko they came up big.
Zampirro scattered five hits over six innings of work, and Tucker reached base twice and scored both of Carson's runs in the 2-1 victory over the Indians at Ron McNutt Field in the debut of coach Bryan Manoukian.
Carson returns to action today at Reed High School. The Senators meet Fallon at 11 a.m. and then play Reed at 1:30 p.m. Tyler Valley and Chase Blueberg will start on the mound for the Senators.
Manoukian was ecstatic about Zampirro's 82-pitch performance, which included five strikeouts and zero walks, which is pretty impressive at any point in the season let alone a first start of the new year.
"I thought he was fantastic," Manoukian said. "Their kid (Dalton Ridgway) was equally impressive. Jace was about seven pitches over (75-pitch count), but he didn't get tired; his body didn't look tired. He wanted to finish the inning.
"Gehrig had a great leadoff game. He did his job and guys moved him over and Luke (Maher) got him home and then Cody Schmidlin came up and drove in the go-head run in the fifth."
Other than the third inning when Elko scored its only run, Zampirro allowed only two runners to reach third base.
"I felt good," Zampirro said. "I felt a little rusty (early), but after I got out of the first inning I felt good. My circle change and fastball were my two best pitches. I worked on the change a lot in the off-season and it paid off."
Zampirro got some quick support in the first when Tucker doubled, moved to third on TJ Thomsen's infield out and scored on Maher's infield groundball.
Elko tied the game in the third when Joe Bejarano singled, but was forced at second by Chad Schumacher. After Zampirro struck out Cody Kerns, Phil Benevides delivered a run-scoring single.
Carson had a chance to go ahead in the fourth, but came up empty and had a player ejected in the process.
Maher walked and moved to second when Blueberg was plunked with a pitch. Casey Wolfe tried to bunt the runners along, but popped out to the catcher. Charlie Banfield followed with a bouncer up the middle. Elko shortstop Justin Pete fielded the ball behind the bag. Maher tried to score from second base. Pete's throw beat Maher by a wide margin. Maher didn't slide and actually jarred the ball loose, but was called out for not sliding and disqualified from the game. His action negated the run.
"Coach (Chad) Eaton and I were surprised that their kid got to the ball," Manoukian said. "Chad had already waved him home, and when he realized that the kid fielded the ball, Luke had his head down and we couldn't stop him.
"I don't particularly like that rule, but the umpire enforced it correctly and made the right call. I'm not upset. I was yelling at Luke to slide. Twenty years ago that's a great play. That kind of screwed things up because I was going to use Cody to relieve."
Carson managed to scratch out a run in the fifth, and once again Tucker was key.
The Carson lead-off man walked with two outs and scored on Schmidlin's two-out single off Ridgway, who allowed five hits in six innings of work.
"I can't remember not hitting lead-off," said Tucker. "I just try to get on base and look at pitches for the other guys."
Tucker, who had a flawless game in the field, made the defensive play of the game in the sixth.
With two outs and a runner at first, Jacob Conklin lifted a shallow flyball to left. Tucker drifted out and made a difficult catch to end the inning. He made nine plays without an error, five assists and four put-outs.
Dominic Norton came on in the seventh, and despite walking two batters, closed the door on the Indians to pick up the save.
WAVE SOFTBALL: Fallon aims for third straight state championshipMarch 8, 2013 —
A lot has changed in the last 10 months since Fallon won its second consecutive state title.
Bill Archer, who assisted Tami Peel and then Phil Pinder, is now the head coach after Pinder ended his tenure on a good note. He coached two of his daughters, both now competing in Division II on the college circuit, and brought back two state titles to the Lahontan Valley for the first time since the 1980s.
But for Archer, it's all about continuing the same recipe that produced back-to-back state championships. Strong pitching, timely and productive hitting and near-flawless defense will once again be critical if the Lady Wave want to three-peat in only their third season in the Division I-A.
"It's all the same. We're still teaching the same fundamentals," said Archer, who's assisted by Stacey McNair and Brad Dolan. "I think we're going to continue to have the same success with this new squad."
And there's no reason that Fallon shouldn't be able to get back to the state tournament with the plethora of talent returning.
But if Fallon's going to repeat again or even advance to the postseason, the Lady Wave will be without one key member who helped coach the program since the 1990s. Former assistant coach John Short is battling for his life as he's being treated for throat cancer. The next couple of weeks are critical, but Archer said that Short plans on returning to the diamond once chemotherapy allows.
"That's a tough deal. He told me he wants to stay involved but he has too much going on this year," Archer said.
Archer said the team is revealing a burgundy ribbon on their jersey, dedicated to Short's fight with cancer and reiterating his own philosophy with the team to "play like a champ."
"There's no better place for him to be on the ball field. It's tough right now," Archer added.
But the season must go on for the Lady Wave.
Despite losing the state's best pitcher in Jill Pinder, Fallon still brings back a strong nucleus of power and defense. Pitching, however, could make Fallon seem mortal from the circle with Pinder out of the equation but don't count junior Rileigh Ricken, who was the No. 2 starter last year. Archer also has a couple freshmen in his arsenal but said he will have a better feel after this weekend's preseason tournament in Sacramento.
"She looks OK," Archer said of Ricken. "She was behind Jill as the No. 2 pitcher and she has good velocity. She has a goal to play at the next level."
At the plate, senior Danielle Rothery will make a case to be the state's best player after she came one home run shy of the school's single-season record and even belted a deep one in the state title game. From behind the plate, Rothery was also dominant in gunning down runners and that experience and leadership could help make the pitching transition smoother.
Aside from Rothery, second baseman Kaysee Archer and first baseman Cady Cordes round out the senior class and were both instrumental in the playoffs.
The junior class leads the team with four returning, including utility player Shelby Lawry, utility and first baseman Jen Connelly, outfielder Gabby Sharpe and Ricken. Shortstop Ali Tedford is the lone sophomore who saw extensive playing time last season in the outfield and gunned down a game-changing runner at home plate at the state tournament.
Six freshmen are on the team, which nearly makes up half of the 14-player roster.
"They're all pretty good ball players," Archer said of the freshmen. "The young talent is going to be exciting. It's a good mix and the chemistry is going to be good. I think we're going to be competitive for years to come and our JV squad is going to be stacked with decent talent."
Pitcher Miranda Ford, infielder Megan McCormick, outfielder Izzy Thomas, utility Kalyn Huckaby, utility Macy Meyers and outfielder Paige Thorne made the team.
For the first time since Fallon left the Division I, the race to state supremacy could result in even more heartache.
Not only is Fallon coming back strong but Lowry will be out for revenge after dropping a 1-0 heartbreaker to the Lady Wave in the state semis. Fernley is the only team in the North to defeat Fallon in the last two years and could pose a problem as the Vaqueros return all of their pitching. Don't count out Elko or Spring Creek from the Ruby Mountain division, either.
"The kids are excited. I don't know if there's pressure," Archer said about getting back to the state tournament. "It's going to be more competitive. You look at the teams and where they played tournament ball. Around the league, teams are doing the same. We expect the competition to be greater."
No. 12 Lobos rally past NevadaMarch 8, 2013 —
The Nevada Wolf Pack learned a lesson about what it takes to be a championship team Wednesday night at Lawlor Events Center.
"They just made the tough plays," Wolf Pack senior guard Malik Story said after the 75-62 loss to the No. 12 New Mexico Lobos.
The Wolf Pack has now lost six games in a row, nine of its last 10 and 13 of its last 15 to fall to 12-17 overall and 3-12 in the Mountain West with one game remaining in the regular season. The Lobos improved to 26-4, 13-2.
"That's a veteran team," Pack coach David Carter said of the Lobos. "That a championship team."
The Lobos, which have already clinched the Mountain West's regular season championship, put the game away with a 17-0 run late in the second half. The Wolf Pack took a 56-55 lead with 8:10 to play on a free throw by Story and then didn't score for the next five minutes as the Lobos went ahead 72-56.
"We obviously showed we could play with them," said Story, who had six 3-pointers and scored 25 points. "But they just executed their offense."
Snell scored seven points in the Lobos' 17-0 run. Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk each scored five points during the run.
"They went inside and we let them get the ball too deep," Carter said. "When you get the ball right under the basket and can go straight up, you can't guard that."
The 6-9 Bairstow and the 7-foot Kirk dominated the Pack inside, combining for 26 points and 20 rebounds. Kirk had 11 points and 10 boards while Bairstow had 15 and 10.
"They didn't go inside in the first half and I was surprised they didn't," Carter said. "I was waiting for that to happen. They went to our weakness, which is inside."
The Wolf Pack, though, played with a renewed energy. The Pack honored seniors Keith Fuetsch and Story before the game and stayed right with the Lobos for the first 32 minutes.
The Wolf Pack went on 13-3 run early in the second half to take a 50-47 lead on a 3-pointer by Story with 12:20 to play. Two lay-ups by Deonte Burton jumpstarted the run as the Pack controlled the tempo for nearly five minutes. Story and Marqueze Coleman also had a pair of free throws during the run and Devonte Elliott had a lay-up to tie the game at 47-47.
"We got out in transition and got some easy baskets," said Burton, who otherwise struggled from the floor with 3-of-10 shooting for eight points.
"We just wanted to stay solid on defense, get some stops and get some easy baskets," Carter said. "We knew we couldn't make a lot of mistakes against this team."
The Pack missed all six of its shots during the Lobos' game-deciding 17-0 run.
"They played good defense, got their hands on the ball, got some strips when we went to the hole," Burton said.
Story, the Wolf Pack's all-time leading 3-point shooter (now with 247), tried to keep his emotions in check during his final game at Lawlor Events Center.
"I tried not to think about it," he said.
The 6-foot-5 guard played well, hitting 6-of-11 from 3-point range and 7-of-15 overall. He scored the Pack's first points of the night on a 3-pointer just 30 seconds into the game. Fuetsch, the other senior, scored the Pack's final points of the game on a lay-up with 34 seconds left, bringing the loudest cheer of the night from the crowd of 6,401.
"We fought hard tonight," Story said.
Story hit a 3-pointer to cut New Mexico's lead to 19-17 mid-way through the first half and also gave the Pack a 27-26 lead with another 3-pointer with 3:21 left in the half.
"It was a little emotional for the guys," said Carter, referring to the Senior Night festivities before the game. "They wanted to play well and I think they handled it well."
Story ended up scoring 49 points (24 against UNLV on Saturday) in his final two games at Lawlor Events Center.
"I appreciate the guys going out there and putting a lot into this game," Story said. "It means a lot to me. I am also very thankful for the way the fans supported me and supported this team."
The Wolf Pack finished 10-7 at Lawlor Events Center this season, losing six of eight Mountain West home games.
"It's rebounding," said Carter. "You can't make a run if you can't get stops."

UNIVERSITY PARK - It's usually not a good idea to read too much into the actual football from the Blue-White Game.
But while that's true for much of Saturday's spring scrimmage, there were a few real indicators of what to expect from Penn State this fall during new coach James Franklin's debut in front of 72,000 fans on a beautiful sunny day at Beaver Stadium.
Most glaring, the offensive line needs a lot of work. That was well known going into Saturday, and it played itself out as the line didn't provide a lot of protection for the quarterbacks or open up holes for running backs.

Penn State safety Ryan Keiser intercepts a pass for the Blue team in front of White tight tend Brent Wilkerson on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The Blue, made up of mostly first-teamers, beat the White, 37-0, but the two sides combined to go 3-for-22 on third down. There were many reasons for that, but one common thread was that the quarterbacks didn't have a lot of time to throw.
From a running standpoint, the Blue offense gained only 86 yards on 21 carries. Two of those carries went for 45 yards, so the other 19 only netted 41. The White had 16 rushes for minus-25 yards.
"This is probably unique," Franklin said of the situation with the O-line. "I've been places where, when we first showed up, we had challenges in terms of depth and things like that. I'm not sure that I've ever been in a situation where you don't even have a scholarship two-deep.
"With that, we're talking about guys that we've moved over from the other side of the ball. We're talking about guys we've moved from one position to another, tight ends that we've converted. I don't know if we've ever been in this situation before, but again, it is what it is, we're going to find a way to make it work."
Making matters worse, first-team center Wendy Laurent went down with a leg or ankle injury Saturday, although he was able to limp off the field on his own. The team already has lost guard Miles Dieffenbach to an ACL injury, leaving left tackle Donovan Smith as the lone returning starter.
Starting quarterback Christian Hackenberg played only three series for the Blue before giving way to true freshman Michael O'Connor. Hackenberg was a bit uneven and completed 4-of-10 passes for 43 yards, and he just barely overthrew Geno Lewis on a home run ball on his final throw of the day.
"I think we're in good position as a unit to move forward," Hackenberg said of the offense.
He then was asked if he's worried about his O-line.
"No, not at all," he said. "I have a lot of confidence in those guys. I think that once guys start getting healthy and we get guys coming back, I have a ton of confidence in those guys. I know the coaching staff does. They're going to do a great job for us."
O'Connor guided the Blue offense the rest of the day and, after a slow start, handled himself with poise. He completed 11-of-16 passes for 81 yards.
O'Connor graduated high school early so he could enroll in the spring at PSU, experience that can only benefit him going forward.
"He should be in high school right now," offensive coordinator John Donovan said. "For him to get out there and do what he's been doing and be able to operate in that environment is impressive enough.
"Just for him to understand the verbiage and what we ask our guys to do - we run a pro-style system, so a lot of that goes on the quarterback when you run something like that - so for him to be able to comprehend that ... he's done an unbelievable job for the situation he's in."
It's Hackenberg's team, but if anything happens to the sophomore phenom this fall, O'Connor will have to step in.
"I thought he did a great job," Hackenberg said. "He really took his opportunity and ran with it, and he executed well. Of course there's a lot of bumps in the road, but that just comes with spring. I think moving forward he's going to become a great player, and I'm excited for him."
Hackenberg and O'Connor are the quarterbacks, but the most exciting pass play of the day came from receiver Geno Lewis.
The Lions ran a double reverse to get the ball in the hands of Lewis, a high school quarterback, and the defensive secondary completely bit on the trickery. Receiver Matt Zanellato was wide open by about 20 yards, and after catching a pass from Lewis, he raced to the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown.
"It was very exciting," Lewis said of the play call before adding, "It was just a fun time. I was real excited when they called it. I thought it was going to work, and it ended up going the right way."
The trick play might have been an indication that Franklin likes to do some unusual things with his play calling. It's a bit strange showing a look like that in a spring game instead of saving it for a real situation, but Franklin didn't seem to care.
"I'm not one of these paranoid college football coaches," Franklin said. "[Other teams] have three years of really good film on us, it's not like we're hiding a whole lot."
The playbook was limited, Franklin acknowledged, but one part of it that was on display was the wildcat package. Several times a running back took a direct snap, and that's a look that likely will be on display this fall.
"We did it down at Vandy and had some good success with it," Donovan said. "We've been able to do a lot more than what you saw today with it from there, so that's just a little showing and then we'll kind of go from there."

A 27-year veteran officer of the Winter Park Police Department is off the job after an investigation into an alleged racial remark.
Lt. Ron Johnson abruptly retired Thursday as agents looked into accusations that he said something offensive.
In February, local departments were alerted to possible protests on the one-year anniversary of the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Other officers said Johnson told them, "This is why they should be drowned at birth."
Department officials said Johnson chose to retire, rather than be fired.
The department's chief called the circumstances "regretful."

BASE jumping is more dangerous and requires more skill than skydiving because faster mental decisions are needed due to the time constraint. Just how many skydives before BASE jumping is a highly debated topic. Generally it's recommended to have 100-200 skydives and/or parachute jumps before making your first BASE jump. That may seem like a lot of jumps but it's all meant to prepare you for the intensity and quick mental decisions of the sport.

Who's Who
Tremaine AO Cornish, APSA, EPSA
Margaret Boike, EPSA
|During the formation of PSA, a Who's Who in Photography listing was created - the only such list in the world. Each exhibitor had to enter a minimum of ten exhibitions each year to be included in the Who's Who list for that year. A favorable review of this program created the impetus to develop the Pictorial Division's Award of Merit, which evolved into the PSA Star Ratings program. The first actual publication of the Who's Who in Photography list was in the January 1942 issue of the PSA Journal.
The annual PSA Who's Who in Photography publication is mailed to all PSA members with the June PSA Journal. The PSA Who's Who in Photography can be downloaded as a pdf or viewed online, by division. Corrections to the annual Who's Who in Photography are printed in the November issue of the PSA Journal.
Today, exhibitors in each division and section who have met the minimum number of acceptances in PSA-recognized exhibitions the previous year are listed in PSA's Who's Who in Photography. The minimum number is 5% of the total possible acceptances in each section and is therefore dependent on the number of judgings that year. The minimum number and the exhibitions for that year are listed with each section. If the minimum number is four or less, the added requirement is acceptances in two or more judgings. Any section with 20 or less judgings must meet this requirement.
The lists are compiled from electronic spreadsheets sent to the PSA Who's Who Directors by the PSA-recognized Exhibitions. Every effort is made to keep these lists accurate. Unreported errors in the catalogs, missing catalogs, misspelling, and/ or misplacement of names in a catalog may result in inaccuracies. Exhibitors are requested to use the same form of their name on all exhibition entries to ensure correct credit. Exhibitors need to immediately report catalog errors to the exhibition, and to the appropriate Who's Who Directors (listed below) and Star Ratings Directors. Corrections must be confirmed by the exhibition.
PSA members have the opportunity to use their acceptances to apply for PSA Stars and to use those Stars to earn PSA Distinctions for Recognition of Photographic Achievement (ROPA). ROPA Distinctions include Proficiency (PPSA), Excellence (EPSA), Master (MPSA), and Grand Master (GMPSA).
The PSA Journal Editorial points earned by PSA members, and the number of new PSA members referred by PSA Members are also included in the annual Who's Who publication.

In addition to the alphabetical listing with total acceptances, the exhibitors with the highest number of acceptances during each year are listed in a "box" displaying the Top North American or Top Overseas exhibitors for each division/section. The number of exhibitors listed in each "box" is proportional to the number of exhibitors in that section.
All PSA Members who are among the top ten (10) in each Division's annual Who's Who (WW) section listings, without regard to geographic areas, receive a Who's Who certificate. In Divisions that list less than ten (10) exhibitors "in the box" group listings, all PSA members in those listings shall receive Who's Who certificates. Those in the first, second, or third places are invited to submit two images for possible inclusion in the PSA Who's Who in Photography publication.
