While he has always been a hometown boy at heart, it took a trip to Texas for local singer/songwriter Zach Paxson to truly realize how much he loves his home state, and now he hopes a move by legislators will allow others to appreciate all that Ohio has to offer.
On Nov. 5, state Rep. Nick Barborak introduced House Bill 330, which would make Paxson's song, "OHIO" the state's official country song.
If approved by the legislature, the upbeat country tune would be in good company, with "Beautiful Ohio," designated the official state song in 1969 and "Hang on Sloopy," named the official state rock and roll song in 1985.

Currently, Ohio is the only state to have an official rock and roll song.
Paxson said he had been invited by cousins to Austin, Texas to see Ohio State University play.
"I was blown away by how many OSU fans were there. That's the first time I came back (to Ohio) with a sense of state pride. I couldn't believe the amount of people rallying around the team," the former county Career Center teacher said.
Flying home on the plane, Paxson penned the words to OHIO and then cut a rough demo in Nashville, recording it in 2011.
In Paxson's typical style, the song boasts a lot of toe-tapping music, but it's the lyrics he hopes listeners can relate to as he sings that, "Austin, Texas was a great place, but I couldn't wait to get hometo see those green fields and factories; every morning I pass them in their work boots and business suits, we all come from the same roots; a 'W' for the Scarlet and Gray; it's still the greatest place I've known, O-H-I-O."
His publicist, Randy Schneider, said he recently played the song at the Beaver Local/East Liverpool football game and said, "I was pretty excited. Toward the end (of the song), I started to see the O-H-I-O hand gestures."
Paxson said, "Do I think this song is the greatest thing since sliced bread? No. But, Ohio is as good as anywhere else. I love it here. People are good; they're hard working. That's what I'm saying in this song. I love coming back home. Ohio's where it's at for me."
With Schneider's background working for former state Sen. Jason Wilson, he and Paxson put their heads together and approached former state Rep. Craig Newbold about introducing a bill to name "OHIO" the state's official country song.
When Newbold was not re-elected, no bill was filed, but then Barborak heard the song this year during a charity event at which Paxson was donating his performance.
"I went up and asked if he ever thought about having it considered for the state song," Barborak said, noting, "We have an official state song, a state rock and roll song; it's time we had a state country song."
"We actually drove it to the Statehouse. We wanted to take all the legwork out of it for them. We handed them the CD and the explanation," Paxson said.
On Nov. 5, Barborak introduced House Bill 330, and the significance of the number was not lost on him or Paxson.
"That's our area code (in Columbiana County)," Paxson pointed out, and Barborak said that since numbers are assigned to bills chronologically, it was a fluke that this one just happened to be assigned 330.
"I think it's appropriate. Hopefully, it's a good sign," Barborak said, adding, "It's uplifting. It's a good song. I'd be honored to have it as a state song."
Admitting that having a state song designated is "obviously not life shattering," Barborak said, nonetheless, "It's nice to have something like this coming from a local artist."
The bill has been assigned to the State and Local Government Committee for review, where a decision will be made whether hearings will be held. As primary sponsor of HB 330, Barborak expects to be contacted to provide testimony as to its merit, if such hearings are scheduled.
If it passes the House of Representatives, it would then go to a Senate committee prior to being considered by the Senate.
"It's a long process, challenging," Barborak said.
Paxson said there is already a "good buzz" about the move, saying there was even a blurb about it on The List, a television news broadcast that aired just prior to the recent Country Music Awards show.
"A lot of people are downloading 'OHIO' from iTunes all over the country," Paxson said, adding he would also like to get Ohio radio stations to play his song and that he hopes the OSU band will start playing it regularly.
"There's a good buzz about it. It's harmless. It's not life-changing (politically), but it might well be life-changing for me," Paxson said.
He is currently working on a new album, "Built to Last," following his two successful albums, "Good Luck with That" and "Simple Life" and completion of a recent tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

It will be practice as usual this afternoon for the University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team.
More precisely, it's expected that there will hardly be a word spoken about Friday night's Big Sky Conference postseason tournament semifinal overtime loss to Weber State University.
The Bears (18-13) will being preparing for a game at 7 on Wednesday night at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion against Texas A&M Corpus Christi to open the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
"Losing to Weber state was tough, but it's pretty neat that we still get to play again," UNC senior forward Derrick Barden said. "Coach Hill told us after the game that we still have an opportunity to do something special and that we needed keep our heads up."
Wednesday night's game extends the careers of Barden and fellow seniors Tate Unruh, Connor Osborne and Xzaivier James.
Barden indicated that the Bears knew before Friday night's BSC semifinal with Weber State that UNC had accepted an invitation to the CIT if they were to lose.
UNC was informed on Sunday night who it would face in the first-round game of the 32-team tournament designed for teams with winning records who weren't selected for the NCAA Championship tournament or the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) on Sunday afternoon.
"Our guys worked extremely hard this season and are excited to be a part of the CIT field," UNC coach B.J. Hill said in a statement released by the UNC athletic department on Sunday night.
Barden went on to explain how important it is to be playing at home, adding "It gives us a great advantage. We really haven't been home in awhile and this gives us a chance to really do something."
UNC barely missed advancing to the BSC Championship game which would have given the Bears a chance at their second appearance in the NCAA Championship tournament — the BSC champ gets an automatic bid — and will be playing in the CIT for the second time.
The Islanders are 17-15 and making their first appearance in the CIT. They played in the 2007 NCAA Championship tournament after winning the Southland Conference.
The Bears are one of three BSC teams competing in the CIT.
On Tuesday night, Portland State (17-14) will play at San Diego while North Dakota (17-16) will travel to Nebraska-Omaha (16-14) on Wednesday night.
UNC played two home games in the CollegeInsider.com tournament in 2010, beating the University of Portland 81-73 in a first-round game before losing in the quarterfinals to University of the Pacific 63-59.
This is the sixth season for the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, which started with a 16-team field 2009, and expanded to 24 teams in 2012 before going to a 32-team format last season.
The Bears are one of three BSC teams competing in the CIT.
On Tuesday night, Portland State (17-14) will play at San Diego while North Dakota (17-16) will travel to Nebraska-Omaha (16-14) on Wednesday night.

text: Football Welcomes Birmingham-Southern to DeLand September 18, 2013 The last time the Stetson football team had an open date, it stretched on for 56 years. Thankfully, it was just a single week off for the 2013 edition of the Hatters as they took a few extra days to assess the state of the reinstated program and also prepare for Saturday's home tilt against Birmingham-Southern. Kickoff for the game at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. As of Wednesday, fewer than 500 tickets remain available for Saturday's game, as well as for next week's Pioneer Football League opener against San Diego. After splitting the first two contests of the year, more work on splits was in order last weekend. Hatters head coach Roger Hughes made sure to take some time for team bonding and fun during the week off, taking the squad bowling last Saturday morning before giving them an afternoon free to watch other college football games. He also took plenty of time to ensure that his young team, with just two games under its belt, continues to develop. "Hopefully we improved fundamentally as a team and we hope we're fresh coming out of it," Hughes said of the bye week. "Those are the two main things. We want to be fresh as we really start to get into the meat of our schedule. We have Birmingham-Southern this week and then we go into the conference and we know that it doesn't get any easier any time soon." In addition for the time to rest, the Hatters also put in some work. "It allowed us to go back and get some fundamental things cleaned up. It allowed us to put more time into special teams. It was also nice in that we had a JV game (on Monday at Jacksonville). That allowed some of the younger guys an opportunity to get on the field for some game experience. It allows us another chance for evaluation to see who's progressing and getting better so that we can make the appropriate changes on the depth chart." One player who has stood out so far has been starting "dawg" safety Donald Payne. The team captain has been named the PFL's Defensive Player of the Week after each of Stetson's games this season. Payne leads the squad with 21 tackles overall and boasts a well-rounded stat line that also includes 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack, an interception, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. The offense has been keyed by quarterback Ryan Tentler who leads the Hatters in both passing and rushing yards through a pair of games. In fact, Tentler is the only player amongst Florida's 11 Division I programs to lead his team in both passing and rushing this fall. Helping with the rushing total has been solid protection in front of him. Tentler has not been sacked yet through two games. Birmingham-Southern, a formidable Division III squad, will bring a 2-0 team south to DeLand. The Panthers averaged 47 points and 441.5 yards of offense over their first two games as BSC dispatched LaGrange and Hendrix. BSC allowed 35 points per game however in winning those two shootouts. "They're very well coached," Hughes said of the Panthers." They're very disciplined. They aren't one to do a lot of different things, but they do things very well. They execute. Defensively, they don't let you get big chunks of yardage. They make you take it in four, five or six (yards at a time) and see if you're patient enough to do it or if you're methodical enough not to make a mistake. "Offensively, they're very similar to some of the things we do. You've got to be disciplined. They run option, they run a lot of zone stuff and they throw it around. Anytime you get good athletes in space, it's a challenge. I don't know if our matchups are great. We'll know more once we get near. Clearly they are very sound and well coached." A couple of things the Hatters have done particularly well through two games are stop opponents from scoring or passing efficiently. Stetson's 11.5 points against is fourth in the nation at the FCS level. The team has also held its foes to an 85.91 efficiency rating that ranks fourth in the nation as well. Stetson has allowed just one passing touchdown this fall while Chris Atkins, Bobby Jakubek and Donald Payne have all recorded an interception for the Hatters. Seeing the big picture, Hughes gives a share of the credit for this to the Hatters' special teams. "I think one of the reasons that our defense has the stats they have is that we have not had to defend many short fields," Hughes said. "Our kicking game, with James LaGamma, has been brilliant in placing the ball inside the 15. That just makes a whole different ballgame if your offense has to drive it 85 and 90 yards every time. For us to be able to cope with our inexperience, we have to be able to do those things. We cannot beat ourselves, because other people have plenty of weapons to beat us, if we let them." Indeed, the Hatters rank a solid 18th nationally in kickoff coverage, yielding just 17.0 yards per return. While the punting averages for LaGamma (38.1 yards) and Eric Fogle (34.7) aren't numbers that leap off of the page, they have done effective work in kicking directionally and high enough to limit returns and maximize field position gains. LaGamma has left five of his 14 punts inside of the 20 and has had four fair caught. Two of Fogle's three punts resulted in a fair catch. As a result, against Warner, Stetson enjoyed an advantage of 16 yards in average starting field position, inaugurating drives at their own 38 while the Royals lined up at their own 22. The field position stats at Florida Tech were skewed by Stetson's turnover on downs at the FIT seven in the final seconds, but, removing that drive, the Hatters enjoyed a 34-30 field position edge in Melbourne. Another area of strength has been in turnover margin. The Hatters stand at plus-two, a sum which ranks second in the Pioneer Football League. The Hatters are one of 10 teams nationally to not throw an interception so far in 2013. Individually, Ryan Tentler is one of just six quarterbacks not to be intercepted with at least 48 passing attempts. The importance of the crucial turnover ratio can't be understated with such a young squad. "We have to do that," Hughes said. "It's something we emphasize as a coaching staff on both sides of the ball. For us to have a chance to win, we have to win the explosive play ratios and we have to win the turnover margin. We have to continue to do that as the competition continues to get better and better and more experienced. We have no chance if we turn it over and give up short fields. I would argue that had we not turned it over in the Florida Tech game, we probably win that game." The conference season is around the corner, but before the Hatters concern themselves with two-time defending league champion San Diego next week, Birmingham-Southern has their full attention. The lone meeting between the sides, a 19-0 Panthers win in 1931 probably will have no bearing on Saturday night's tilt at Spec Martin Stadium. But, regarding the 2013 edition of Birmingham-Southern's squad, Hughes is impressed with what he as seen through two weeks. "This week, we're going to be presented with different challenges defensively," he said of BSC. "They have a running quarterback and they do some nice things option-wise. We're going to have to remain disciplined. We didn't really have running quarterbacks the last two teams we played. That adds another dimension. That forces you play more disciplined football. "They play a lot of split backs, two backs in the backfield. They're similar to what we do offensively. So, it's not like we haven't seen some things, but they're a little more spread out with getting their quarterback on the perimeter." Hughes said the Panthers base 4-3 defense, which plays a lot of two deep zone in the secondary, is not fancy, but is effective. "They're very sound and their kids are well-coached," Hughes said. "Their kids play very hard. They don't stay blocked very long. And, it's obvious, they've put in a lot of time on special teams." It all sounds like an entertaining night of football in DeLand is around the corner that Hatter fans will not want to miss. With ticket supplies rapidly dwindling, fans who hope to attend the game on Saturday night are quickly running out of time. The few remaining tickets are available by visiting GoHatters.com/tix or by calling 386-738-HATS.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

NEW MANCHESTER - The Golden Bears and Blue Eagles have switched places.
Last year at this time, Oak Glen was coming off a 33-19 victory over Magnolia. The Bears had just completed a 9-1 regular season and were enjoying a bye week before the playoffs. The Blue Eagles were about to beat Grafton in their regular season finale to finish with a disappointing 5-5 mark after winning a state title in 2010.
A year can change a lot, however.

This season's matchup between the two schools, which is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff tonight at the "Bears Den," will be somewhat of a role reversal.
Oak Glen enters at 4-5 hoping to finish at .500 in what has been an up-and-down campaign. Magnolia comes in a 8-1 with a home playoff game already in the bag.
"Our main goal now is to send the seniors out on a positive note," Oak Glen coach Ian Whittington said. "These are the kids that have been here putting in the hard work for four years. We owe it to them. We've got nothing to lose this week."
Sending the Bears' senior class out with a win won't be easy.
The Blue Eagles, who are now one of the top teams in Class A after moving down in classification, have quite the pedigree. Led by head coach Mark Batton, Magnolia has finished at .500 or better in eight straight seasons.
Ranked No. 2 in the state in Class A, the Blue Eagles are coming off a dominating 35-0 victory over Steubenville Catholic Central in which they outgained the Crusaders, 426 to 35. Magnolia totaled 20 first downs to Steubenville's two.
"They're a very good football team," Whittington said of Magnolia, which has won eight straight since its opening season loss at Linsly. "They're well-coached. They're disciplined. Their offense gives you a lot of looks and runs like a well-oiled machine.
"On defense, they like to bring the house. They blitz on every play. You don't have much time to get the play off. If you get it off, you have a chance, but they don't give you many."
Magnolia, which has outscored its opponents 284-87 during its 8-game win streak that includes victories against five teams with winning records, has plenty of weapons at its disposal.
First among the Blue Eagles is senior Stephen Rogalski.
The owner of every Magnolia all-time receiving record, "Rogo" has hauled in 40 passes this year for 593 yards and five touchdowns. He also has 278 yards rushing and five more scores.
For his career, Rogalski has 171 catches for 3,346 yards and 30 touchdowns.
"He's probably one of the best in the Ohio Valley," Whittington said of Rogalski. "He does it all. He lines up at wide receiver, but they run the ball with him on the jet reverse. His speed is unmatched. He's the fastest guy we've seen all year."
The Blue Eagles boast a backfield that doesn't allow opponents to focus only on Rogalski.
At quarterback is Tanner Hanna, who has thrown for 100-plus yards in six of Magnolia's nine games. On the season, he is 74-of-146 for 1,111 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. For his career, Hanna ranks in the top ten all-time at Magnolia with 2,667 yards, 26 scores and 15 picks.
A two-headed attack at running back, Drew Keller leads the way with 832 yards and six scores on 160 attempts. Keller is complimented by Kage Rohde, who has found the end zone 13 times on 84 attempts for 661 yards.
"That's the thing about them," Whittington said. "Rogalski is the big-name guy, but they have a good quarterback and two good tailbacks that are always running hard and breaking tackles."
While the task at hand is a tough one, Whittington said he will hold nothing back in order to send his senior class - the winningest in school history - out with a win.
"I'm most proud of the way the seniors, most of whom got injured at one point or another, always fought back," he said. "We had some pretty serious setbacks health-wise and these guys all wanted to finish and did all they could to get back out on the field. It showed their dedication."
Win or lose, the season will likely be considered a disappointment for the Bears. Coming off their best finish in school history, Oak Glen has experienced a roller coaster ride in 2012.
Despite the struggles, Whittington said he believes the Bears' football program is in great shape heading forward.
"I feel really good about where we're at," he said. "There's a lot of positive things on the horizon. Our freshman class was really big and they did a nice job playing jayvee for us this year. Our incoming freshman class for next year also did really well. We'll only have about eight to ten seniors next year, but we'll have a huge freshman and sophomore class. Our sophomore class next year will be one of the best in the valley. There's studs all over the field. They've still got a lot of learning and growing up to do, but the future looks bright here at Oak Glen."
NOTES: The Bears and Blue Eagles have played three common opponents this season. Against Tyler Consolidated (Magnolia won, 43-13; Oak Glen won, 26-20); Against Weir (Magnolia won, 55-12; Oak Glen won, 33-12); Against Steubenville CC (Magnolia won, 35-0; Oak Glen lost, 28-6). Before last year's win over the Blue Eagles, the Bears had dropped at least seven straight to Magnolia.

The most pointless beverage in the world: a non-alcoholic beer. If you're gonna drink fucking beer, take it like a man. O'Doul's actually has 0.5% alcohol, so if you can down about 100 you might feel a little buzz.

One screams "O'Douls!" when family members or relatives say sexually inappropiate comments to each other. This stems from the joke, "Going down on your cousin is like drinking O'Douls. It tastes the same but you know something ain't right."
When a male cousin says to his attractive female cousin, "Oh, I'll give you a pearl necklace." One's response should be "O'Douls!!!"

After promising to hit the kitchen in his underwear while campaigning for his Voice protégé, the smooth crooner posted an Instagram video and photo of himself frying eggs while shirtless.
"You guys kept up your end of the bargain, and now I guess I have to do my part," Usher, 35, says in the clip, stepping toward the stove to reveal his rocking body. "So, what would you like for breakfast? I prefer Tuscan eggs."
The sexy stunt began Monday, when Usher posted a Facebook status urging Voice viewers to vote for his team member.
"If Josh Kaufman WINS The Voice … I will prove I cook in my underwear!" he wrote.
On Tuesday night, Kaufman proved victorious. By Friday, Usher was cooking in nothing but briefs. The only thing that would make the bet even sweeter? If Usher sang while serving breakfast.

The Francis Fitzgerald Scholarship - Memorializing a Passion for Flight
Francis Fitzgerald got his pilot's license at 16 – license number 18,010. "Fitz", as he was known, was a flight instructor before World War II. When the war began he became chief pilot at Ogden Regional Airport in charge of training Navy cadets. Later Fitz joined the Air Force Ferry Command and he ended the war flying "the hump" over the Himalayas from India to China.
Lois Wheatlake was intrigued by flight. In 1942, she completed the course to become a federal airway traffic controller and was sent to the Salt Lake tower as a trainee; later she was assigned to the Ogden tower. Soon after arriving in Ogden she learned to fly. She had about twelve hours in the air when she met Fitz. He decided the new controller needed a "familiarization flight," so he invited Lois on a flying tour of the area. After learning Lois was working on her pilot's license, he asked if she wanted to land the plane. She said she would give it a try and luckily she made a pretty darn good landing.
Soon Fitz offered to be Lois' flight instructor and then her husband. They had 47 wonderful years together before he passed away in 1991. Fitz had flown everything from jennys to jets during his life, P38s being his favorite aircraft. His family and friends created the Francis Fitzgerald Aviation Scholarship to help other young pilots pursue their passion for flight. The scholarship really took off when Westminster created a flight program.
Through her will, Lois has created a bequest to enhance the scholarship in Fitz's name. It pleases her to know that future pilots will carry on his legacy of flight. "He would be so pleased to know his scholarship is helping someone do what he loved to do – fly!" said Lois.
How you can honor a friend or family member
If you wish to honor a friend or family member through an estate gift to Westminster, ask your attorney to place the following language in your will or trust document:
"I give, devise, and bequeath X%* of my estate to Westminster College, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its general use and purpose."
*You may also indicate a specific dollar amount.
If you have a purpose in mind for your gift, please call to discuss it with us so we may put your gift to its proper use. Contact Kaye Stackpole, Director of Gift Planning at (801) 832-2735 or toll free at (866) 832-2730.

Modeling and Inventories
Modeling and Inventories
The following information covers OTAQ modeling and inventories. Modeling is EPA's method for estimating emissions from on-road vehicles, nonroad sources, and fuels. Inventories are calculations of total emissions of a pollutant for a given area at a defined time and set of conditions.
MOVES (MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator) is EPA's current official model for estimating air pollution emissions from cars, trucks and motorcycles. In the future the model will also cover nonroad emissions.
NONROAD Model links to information on the NONROAD emission inventory model, which is a software tool for predicting emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxides from small and large nonroad vehicles, equipment, and engines.
NMIM, or National Mobile Inventory Model, is a free, desktop computer application developed by EPA to help you develop estimates of current and future emission inventories for on-road motor vehicles and nonroad equipment. NMIM uses current versions of MOBILE6 and NONROAD to calculate emission inventories, based on multiple input scenarios that you enter into the system. You can use NMIM to calculate national, individual state, or county inventories.
MOBILE Model links to information on the MOBILE vehicle emission factor model, which was EPA's official model for estimating air pollution emissions from cars, trucks, and motorcycles until it was replaced by MOVES.
Fuel Effects on Vehicle Emissions links to information on test programs and modeling estimating the emissions impacts of changes in fuel properties and composition. Information on how fuel effects are applied in MOVES and NONROAD is available on the web pages for those models.
OMEGA, the Optimization Model for Reducing Emissions of Greenhouse Gases from Automobiles, which estimates the technology cost for automobile manufacturers to achieve variable fleet-wide levels of vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.
GEM, the Greenhouse gas Emissions Model, estimates the greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency performance of specific aspects of heavy-duty vehicles. This model is a means for determining compliance with EPA's GHG emissions standards and NHTSA's fuel consumption standards, for Class 7 and 8 combination tractors and Class 2b-8 vocational vehicles.

This is Westcountry slang dating back to before the First World War. Skates are very slippery fish and the name was applied to people who had slippery natures in that they were untrustworthy, would try to avoid giving information or were just not very likeable. The use of the name expanded to include people who were wheeler dealers or people who do a lot of ducking and diving but no actual work. The name is disparaging but at the same time may hold just a hint of reluctant admiration. It is, however, a warning as a skate has no conscience and is totally unscrupulous and untrustworthy. The term is believed to have been used extensively by the British armed forces and was used to describe someone who was a slippery customer, fishy and who avoided their share of the work.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Glenville coach David Hutchison spoke in glowing terms about Shepherd's defensive line in the days leading up to their West Virginia Conference game.
Hutchison compared the Rams' defensive line to that of Tennessee-Chattanooga, a member of a higher division in what was formerly called Division I-AA.
Evidently the rest of the league coaches felt the same way.
Three members of Shepherd's front line on defense were named to the all-West Virginia Conference team announced Tuesday.
They include defensive end Howard Jones, defensive tackle Robert Hayes and nose guard Mike Franklin. All three are juniors. Jones is a repeat first-teamer.
They are among eight all-conference performers from league champion Shepherd, which visits Indiana, Pa., Saturday in the first round of the Division II playoffs.
Two other defenders from Shepherd were selected to the first team, as were three offensive performers.
Cornerback Keon Robinson, named to the first team in 2010, and linebacker A.J. Parrish made the first-team from a defensive unit that leads the nation in run defense. Shepherd has yielded but 376 yards on the ground, an average of 1.41 yard per rush.
As evidence of how well Shepherd performed against the run, the Rams shut down two of the conference's best.
Charleston's Jordan Roberts is the league's offensive player of the year, while Glenville's Rahmann Lee is the offensive freshman of the year.
Roberts, who rushed for 1,572 yards, managed just 20 against Shepherd, while Lee, who averaged 123.4 yards per game, ran for 40 against the Rams.
On offense, Bobby Cooper is the first Shepherd quarterback to be named first-team all-WVC since Jim Signora in 1990.
Also named from Shepherd on offense are tight end John Frick and lineman Isaiah Shelton.
Cooper is coming off of a school-record 430-yard passing performance in the Rams' regular-season finale against Fairmont, he led the league in pass efficiency in helping Shepherd to finish the regular season with an 8-2 record.
The Rams, ranked 25th nationally, also possess second-team honorees Hussam Ouri at center, Jordan Dixon at offensive line, Larry Lowe at wide receiver, Levi Barbour at linebacker and Robinson at kick returner.
Wide receiver Billy Brown and defensive back D.J. Scott are special honor mentions from Shepherd, while linebacker Dominique Dixon is an honorable mention.
Jake Lilly of Concord was defensive player of the year, Lance Fullwood of Fairmont is the defensive rookie of the year and Pat Kirkland of Charleston is the coach of the year.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University softball team will return to Patricia Wilson Field for the first time in three weeks to host the Stetson Classic, Mar. 7-9. The Hatters (8-3) are coming off a 2-2 weekend at the UCF Tournament in Orlando, where three of four games were decided in the final inning of play, including a walk-off win vs. UT Martin on Saturday.
Stetson will host Memphis, South Dakota and Bethune-Cookman in DeLand as the four teams will play seven games during a three day stretch. The Hatters have not played in their home park since Valentine's Day weekend, when they went 4-1 during the Hatter Invitational against Bethune-Cookman, Campbell and Elon.
Stetson is represented well on the A-Sun leader board so far in 2014 as a trio of players rank in the Top five in a number of offensive categories. Junior Demi Meza is second with a .550 on base percentage and is third in the conference in slugging with an .862 average. Senior Meredith Owen is fourth in slugging (.824) and tied for fourth in home runs with four. Freshman standout Jessie TenBroeck ranks in the top five in batting average (.447, third), on base percentage (.512, fourth) and stolen bases (8, fifth).
In the circle a pair of seniors, Owen and Sarah Read are conference leaders in a total of five separate categories. Owen is first when it comes to ERA with a spotless 0.00 mark, while Read is tops in fewest hits allowed with 15. Read is also second in the A-Sun in fewest runs allowed (7) and opposing batting average (.140), during her 31.1 innings of work. Stetson leads all teams in the conference when it comes to fewest walks (19), fewest hits (46), fewest runs (11) and earned runs allowed (11).
Stetson and Memphis will kick-off tournament action, Friday Mar. 7 at 4 p.m. and then the Coyotes will take on the Hatters at approximately 6:30 p.m. Then Memphis and South Dakota play on Saturday, Mar. 8 at 1:30 p.m., followed by a 4 p.m. match-up between Stetson and South Dakota and a 6:30 p.m. rematch of SU and Memphis.
Tournament play concludes on Sunday with South Dakota taking on Bethune-Cookman at 10 a.m., while the Wildcats play the Tigers at noon. This will be the Hatters' final tune-up before A-Sun play begins next week as defending tournament champion USC Upstate comes to DeLand (Mar. 11-12).
Tickets start at $10 per day and can be purchased online at GoHatters.com/tix or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

A mandate from the state education commissioner that students in two low-performing Buffalo public schools take classes outside the district was met with cheers from some stakeholders, while others questioned the proposed remedy and requested that the district be given more time to turn around the schools.
Reaction from Board of Education members, city officials and state legislators ranged from impatience with the district's poor performance to confusion about what the mandate means and a desire for the district's efforts during the last year to be recognized.
And some wondered if this means the state is preparing to completely take over the district.
State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. wrote to Buffalo School Superintendent Pamela C. Brown on Wednesday saying that turnaround plans for Lafayette and East high schools are not sufficient and that millions in federal funds will not be granted. Instead, the district must choose between two options, both involving intervention by Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services, he wrote.
King's directive that BOCES get involved in Buffalo is unprecedented.
"I think his concerns are absolutely valid," said Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen. "I'm not sure his solution is adequate for the problem."
Questions were raised Friday about what a BOCES takeover would mean for the existing workforce at those schools, how students would take non-vocational classes and how a large population of English-language learners at Lafayette would be accommodated.
Johns Hopkins University was preparing to take over as manager of Lafayette and East, but King said the district had not done enough to ensure that will happen.
The district must either allow any student at those schools to get career and vocational training from BOCES, or allow BOCES to administer the schools, similar to what Johns Hopkins was preparing to do.
"I support the commissioner's decision, but I hope he doesn't totally weigh out Johns Hopkins, because I think that's the solution for those schools," said Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes.
Mayor Byron W. Brown said he wanted to know more about King's mandate.
"I'd like to understand why the relationship with Johns Hopkins, at this point, isn't going to be allowed to move forward," he said.
Buffalo School Board President Barbara Seals Nevergold was "stunned" by the letter and said that King did not take into account strides the district has made in the last year.
Nevergold said things are improving but said she couldn't release graduation rate data from 2013.
"We're asking the commissioner to include that data, give us more time, so we can incorporate enough feedback and education from the community, the parents and the children," she said.
The district needs more time to implement King's changes than the Aug. 12 deadline he set, said Nevergold, who noted that the district already has career and technical training programs.
Despite their low graduation rates – only roughly one in four students graduate from these schools – the schools may be of value to some, Nevergold said.
"Parents and students might say they're very happy at that school, they succeed in that school, that school meets their needs," she said.
The superintendent spoke about the letter Thursday, but on Friday Nevergold gave the district's perspective during a late-afternoon news conference.
"I don't know quite frankly where she is, but she is taking some time, and she is not in the district," Nevergold said of the superintendent. "It doesn't mean that we're not addressing it and she's not addressing it."
While King had harsh words for the district with respect to East and Lafayette high schools, there are other schools in the district that have submitted successful turnaround plans.
North District board member Jason M. McCarthy said that communication between the district administration and the board has been lacking, as has communication between the district and the state.
"I'm completely frustrated at this point," McCarthy said.
He too, was surprised by King's letter and thought that Johns Hopkins was ready to take over the schools.
"It's like one disaster after the next," he said. "Every week it's something else."
State Sen. Mark Grisanti said Johns Hopkins must be given more time to be effective.
"You don't want to have another system in place that's not working," he said.
Common Council members, meanwhile, were frustrated that they are expected to write a check to the district – $70 million every year – but don't have a say in how the money is spent.
"This is serious," said Majority Leader Demone A. Smith. "Let's start to address these problems."
Smith, chairman of the Council's Education Committee, said the city's high dropout rate leads to crime and greater problems in families, and said something must be done.
"This is almost genocide if we don't get a hold of this," he said. "These kids can't continue to wait."
North Council Member Joseph Golombek, a former public school teacher, doesn't think a change in district leadership, or a change in the teaching staff, will change student performance if parents aren't involved and students aren't showing up at school.
Golombek pushed for the establishment of charter schools at Waterfront and East, but the state Education Department rejected those plans.
"I think our hands are very severely tied," he said of the Council.
King's letter was welcomed by board member Carl P. Paladino, who began his term this month.
"I was very happy he sent it," Paladino said, adding that he hopes a state takeover of the district is next.
He expects the state to issue similar directives for Waterfront Elementary, another troubled school, and for the district's plan to transfer students from low-performing schools, which he called "a total farce."
Asked about a possible state takeover of the district, Nevergold said that King's letter heightened her concerns about "ultimate mandates" that could come from Albany.
"I have no crystal ball," she said.

With its roots in Dartmoor in England, Letterboxing involves a waterproof box hidden in a scenic location and containing a rubber stamp and notebook; a person uses a series of clues (some are more cryptic than others) and possibly a compass and map to search for a box. Once found, the finder will stamp the box's notebook with his or her personal stamp, and use the box's stamp to mark their own personal notebook. Letterboxers collect the stamps from boxes all over the world. Similar in some ways to geocaching.

National Alliance on Mental Illness

Health and Wellness
December 5, 2008
TIME magazine reports that people with severe mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than the general population from cigarette smoking, obesity and diabetes.
One reason that people with serious mental illness are dying younger is that they often cannot access the best available health care due to socioeconomic barriers. In addition, more than 75% of people with severe mental illness are dependent on tobacco. People in this demographic also may be disproportionally affected because psychiatric medications cause significant weight gain. The high incidence of obesity-related illnesses in people living with mental illness, such as diabetes, has been identified as an epidemic within an epidemic.
The good news is that these common risk factors are modifiable.
NAMI NYC Metro conducted focus groups to review patient concerns in response to a 2006 mortality report. Based on the participant's feedback, NAMI NYC Metro introduced "Six Weeks to Wellness," a popular weekly class that addresses topics such as nutrition and the benefits of managing anxiety through yoga and meditation.
NAMI National also maintains a "Hearts and Minds" wellness promotion program.

According to the Associated Press, the US Postal Service will end Saturday letter delivery beginning in August of this year but will continue to deliver packages six days a week. The point of this cutback is to save approximately $2 billion in operating costs.
Rather than view this service cut in a negative light, the USPS hopes to put the most positive spin on this move by emphasizing its continuation of package delivery which, in fact, has increased by 14 percent since 2010, according to Postal Service officials. On the other hand, the delivery of letters and other mail has declined over the same period mainly because of the increasing use of email and other Internet use.
If the plan is approved, all mail would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays, and post offices which are currently open on Saturdays would remain open on Saturdays.
This, of course, is not the first time the USPS has attempted to eliminate Saturday delivery of first-class letters. For years, the Postal Service has argued for the shift to a five-day delivery schedule for both mail and packages but has been unable to gain the necessary congressional approval. Because the Postal Service is considered to be an independent agency, it receives absolutely no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is still subject to congressional control.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Postal Service has not yet made it clear just exactly how it will cease Saturday mail without congressional approval.
Yet it believes that t has the support of a majority of the American public for this change. That is, in a press conference, Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO, says the USPS's own and other research shows that nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads."
So what's really going on here? Why is the only constitutionally mandated "business" in such dire straits? Traditionally, and from its inception, the Post Office has been one of the most reliable services, if not the most reliable, that the federal government has provided.
In 1971, the United States Post Office became the United States Postal Service under the Postal Reorganization Act.
The USPS employs more than 574,000 workers and operates over 260,000 vehicles. It operates the largest vehicle fleet in the world. The USPS is legally obligated to serve all Americans, regardless of geography, at uniform price and quality. The USPS has exclusive access to letter boxes marked "US Mail" and personal letterboxes in the United States, but still competes against private package delivery services, such as UPS and FedEx.
As stated above, the USPS has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s with the minor exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters.
In 2006, Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act," which required that $5.5 billion per year to be paid into an account to pre-fund retiree health-care, 75 years into the future. This requirement is unique among all government agencies. Predictably, as a result of this provision, USPS revenues dropped precipitously due to the toxic combination of the ongoing recession and declining paper mail volume due to the growth of electronic mail.
It is this requirement that has almost single-handedly destroyed the USPS (Post Office). It was enacted because Republicans in Congress viewed the success of the Postal Service as a threat to their creed and ideology that the "guvmint" cannot do anything right. Its success storyof more than 200 years was and contradicts and belies their "small goverment is the best government" mantra, leading to ideological embarrassment. Thus, it is no accident that the USPS's $5 billion-plus deficit almost perfectly matches the annual $5.5 billion that it must put aside for retires in the year 2081.

Matt Krausmann has five dogs at his house. Or at least he did, until Wednesday.
That's when Caroline the beagle had to be put down after ingesting something toxic, likely antifreeze.
Ginny is in the ER now with the same symptoms, and might be euthanized as well.
Geno and Tucker spent the night at the vet's getting their systems flushed, but they appear to be doing well.
Chuck, the only dog who wasn't home Tuesday evening when the Krausmanns believe the dogs were poisoned, is home alone.
And Krausmann is beside himself.
For four dogs to get sick all at once isn't a coincidence, he said. He believes it's deliberate: That someone poisoned his dogs.
Krausmann doesn't keep antifreeze at his home in Corey Woods precisely because of the danger to animals.
It tastes like a sweet treat, enticing animals to lap it up, but shuts down the kidneys and, if not diagnosed within the first few hours, usually leads to death.
The danger is well known. Some states require antifreeze to include a bittering agent, to kill the sweet taste, and in December antifreeze manufacturers voluntarily agreed to include the bittering agent in products sold throughout the United States.
But that won't help Caroline.
"She was having seizures. Her kidneys and her liver were blocked. I had to make the decision to put the poor dog down," Krausmann said, losing his composure as he recalled the day before.
Caroline and Chuck are Krausmann's daughter's dogs. They've been staying with him while his daughter is in military intelligence school in New Mexico and his son-in-law is deployed to Nigeria.
She was set to return in two weeks and bring the dogs home to Fayetteville.
Krausmann said he's always done everything he can to be a good dog owner: fed them, played with them, took them to the vet, kept them fenced in the yard.
"They don't get out. They don't cause problems. But the beagle barks," he said.
That's the only reason he can think that someone might want to hurt the animals.
Now, he said, when he goes into the back yard he sees his neighborhood in an entirely new light.
Now he's worried about letting the remaining dogs out into the yard or letting his toddler granddaughter play in the yard.
He's filed a police report, but he said the police referred him to animal control and animal control referred him back to the police.
A police spokesman said the paperwork is still being filed.
"Who do I talk to? How do I get justice for my animals?" Krausmann said.
He's hoping that someone will come forward with information.
"Somebody out there knows something," he said.

my favorite anime theme song is the one for the first season of burst angel!!! it is soooo awesome!!!....wat bout u??
Right now I'd have to say that the ending theme to Monster Princess and the Ichigo's fight music in Bleach are some of my favorites. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
i have never heare of monster princess.....is it good?
Teru no uta - Tales from Earthsea is really good.. oooL;oro Primo PASSO OP - Brand New Breeze by Kanon is very good as well O genki desu ka?
never heard of that either
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUSjLyZpBPo Aoi (the singer) actually dress in the exact dress of the female character in Tales from Earthsea O genki desu ka?
wow ...ok??
If you look at some of the other posts, we list several places to watch anime online. It is worth checking them out because they each have a lot of series on them that you may not hear of otherwise. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
i feel rude wheni just randomly enter pl's forumn posts though....
no worries we do that all the time lol O genki desu ka?
That's why we post things on here, dear. So that everyone reads it and responds. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
i think FINAL FANTASY is cool... it makes me feel sleepy...bwahahahaha
Actually, a lot of songs are like that...
haha, that Brand New Breeze song is so annoying! It's so damn catchy...
I like the ichigo fight song too. I like the theme song of Black Blood Brothers and the theme for Tactics. "You will See, in Time you shall walk the same path as I"
I like the theme to Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig. It's the best ever!!!!!! Also, the theme songs to Death Note by NIGHTMARE. ^__<
ya death note is kick ass!!
I like both of those theme songs too^_^ they are both awesome and i also like the theme song of the 2nd season from blood plus (i think thats where its from) i dont remember the name of the song though, but it is awesome.
I really like the opening of Fate/ Stay Night."You will See, in Time you shall walk the same path as I"
this music comes from the trailers from the manga movies like ghost in the shell, ninja scroll, X , Blood: last vampire, Perfect Blue, and some other ones. as you see some of the trailers - it starts of by saying " give it to me, the worlds ~something~ just take it from me. you cannot hurt me anymore" and it keeps going on like that. and i'm not too sure about the lyrics but if i do hear it. i know thats it, can anyone help me find it ~`.`~"
