A missing tourist from South Korea was found dead near a hotel he was staying at about a mile from Disney World, police said.
Simon Latham was last seen at the lounge of the Caribe Resort Hotel on World Center Drive about 1 a.m. Thursday. He is a British national who lives in South Korea.
Investigators said Latham's brother-in-law found his body in a retention pond near the hotel just before 8 a.m. Saturday.
It was unclear how Latham died. There was no sign of foul play, sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies said Latham was visiting Orlando on vacation. He was supposed to fly home Friday at 7 a.m., but he never made it to the flight.
The incident was under investigation.

BMX Racing BikesThere are two types of BMX bikes: BMX freestyle and BMX racing bikes. Both styles feature bikes that share similar traits and designs, but like all racing bikes the BMX racing bike is lighter and has a slimmer frame. When purchasing a racing bike, a rider should look for frame size and weight, but also extraneous add-ons that add weight to the bike (like pegs or hub guards).

By Sam Capitano
In today's political environment, gridlock seems to be the norm. If there is any time to consider term limits, the time is now.
Too many of our politicians are serving for careers instead of serving for the public good. Term limits would force today's politicians to act now instead of putting off crucial decisions until they reach their ultimate goal, which is controlling the White House.
The lack of compromise by our Republican leaders is disingenuous at best and almost criminal at worst. To hold the American people and our economy hostage with the hopes of putting the blame on President Obama just so the Republicans have a chance to control the White House is not patriotism, it is self-serving.
It appears to me every time there is a sweeping change in control of either chamber in Congress, the new controlling party misinterprets the public's message and tries to advance its own ideology. The proper interpretation of the message the American people were trying to relay when Republicans took control of the House of Representatives almost two years ago is, we need your help and we need it now.
Instead of acting now, though, the Republican Party is forcing the American people to sit and wait and wait and wait. In the meantime, we all struggle to make ends meet, to live a life with dignity and support our families.
The American people are some of the most politically active people in society today. They do their part, remaining active, voting our politicians into office with the hopes of making a difference, only to be left holding the bag time and time again.
The uncertainty of our future created by our elected officials has caused our great American corporations, which are sitting on massive amounts of cash (more than $300 billion), to not invest those surpluses in our economy because of the lack of sound fiscal policy. If there is anything certain about our future, it is the uncertainty created by our elected officials.
We elected them and put them in positions of trust in order to make the tough decisions; they need to do the job we've elected them to do and do it now. Their actions are a breach of our trust and a neglect of their responsibilities. I ask them to stop misinterpreting our desires as the advancement of their own personal ideological desires and wake up. We have had enough.
While our politicians stand there with the gun to our collective head, with a round loaded in every chamber, we ask, please put the gun down, grab a pen and sign some meaningful legislation that will create some certainty so we can get back to leading dignified lives.

Mountain Valley Bank N.A., Elkins, has been recognized once again as a 5-Star rated bank by BauerFinancial Inc., the nation's leading bank rating and research firm.
BauerFinancial's highest 5-Star rating indicates Mountain Valley Bank excels in areas of capital, asset quality, profitability and much more. What's more, Mountain Valley Bank has earned this highest rating for the most recent 92 consecutive quarters, which qualifies it for the even more elite group of "Sustained Superiority Banks." Only 5 percent of the nation's banks can claim this distinction with such consistency.
"Since 1983, BauerFinancial has been rating the nation's financial institutions," said Karen L. Dorway, president of the rating firm. "In all that time, one thing has remained constant: top performing institutions maintain strong policies, prudent underwriting and responsible investment. Mountain Valley Bank is a bank you can put your trust in."
Financial strength has been the priority for Mountain Valley Bank since its inception in 1909. Through its four conveniently located branch offices in Elkins, Mill Creek and Parsons, Mountain Valley Bank has been a source of pride for its local community for 104 years. Mountain Valley Bank is a member of the FDIC and an Equal Housing Lender.

Open source and cyber counter intelligence
How do we solve and prevent cyber crimes?
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, I cannot help wondering what it is the role open source and open education have in global or national security measures.
The events in Boston hit me hard. Running the marathon has been a dream for mine. There are personal connections: a relative was running for the first time in the Boston Marathon and had crossed the finish line four minutes before the first explosion. And, there are my connections to Watertown, Boston, and Cambridge; some of the victims; and a rehabilitation hospital in Boston that will help some of the victims. Then, there is the act of terrorism itself.
The bombs reminded me of the IRA in London when I lived there with my husband who is from the UK. The bombs also reminded me of what I had learned about terrorism from working for the airline industry (ground staff) both in the US and in the UK, particularly with El Al Israel Airlines (which has the most stringent airline security procedures in the world). And it reminded me, unfortunately, of my personal connections to 9/11, the airline industry in Boston, and to my son who has no knowledge of that tragedy or of a pre-Google, pre-YouTube world (he's 7 years old).
Terrorism, violence, tragedies, and cybercrime are unfortunately part and parcel of society today. Some of us would perhaps wish that Lois Lowry's children's fictional book, The Giver (1993), of a utopian future society where violence, terrorism, crime, poverty, and other issues are a thing of the past would ring true; where everything is under control. Where there is no war or fear of pain. Where there are no choices. Yet the reality, of course, is that with digital technology and globalization no one or place is immune from a cyberattack, terrorism, or gun violence. Still, we have a choice with using proprietary or open systems. More importantly, we have a choice on whether to prepare ourselves and our children for a digital future that includes digital security measures and protocols.
Australia gives us an example on how to include security measures and protocols in a school curriculum. Its ICT (information and communicationtechnology capability) school curriculum addresses how to apply strategies for determining and protecting the security of digital information as well as the risks associated with online environments. The ICT curriculum also addresses personal security protocols and how to identify and implement them.
Other countries, such as the US, which lack a similar curriculum might want to take heed.
While Australia offers guidance on how to adopt digital security measures and protocols in public schools, there are other security measures and protocols that could and should be addressed. Avoiding language offensive to particular groups of people is one security measure, but Eugene Kaspersky and others have warned that it's only a matter of time before terrorists adopt state-sponsored style attacks to target countries' critical infrastructure.
Within a little over a week of the Boston Marathon bombings, hackers from the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for taking control of the Associated Press' Twitter account and sending a false tweet about explosions in the White House that briefly sent US financial markets tumbling. The damage: $136.5 billion of the S&P 500 index's value before markets recovered.
Private proprietary systems, such as Twitter, are not only often vulnerable to cyber attacks but they also jeopardize global or national security by allowing unfettered extremism to flourish and for not monitoring grave infractions. If an individual were to witness or be privy to a cyberattack, where would they report it?
Cybercrime lacks a digital or landline equivalent to the emergency 911 telephone number. Local law enforcement officers must encourage citizens to be alert and to report suspicious behavior but what happens when such behavior crosses local, regional, or national boundaries? The murkiness of cybercrime means the general public is often unaware which authority or agency is responsible for investigating it.
New York City's See Something, Say Something initiative has been hugely successful within the city for combatting crime, but outside of it? At least, however, New York City's security system takes a preventative or hacker approach to crime rather than a forensic, reactionary approach to crime by encouraging the public's participation but is this enough to stem the amount of cybercrime in the future?
An investment in the next generation of hackers, cyber counterintelligence and cyber defense officers is desperately needed.
At the moment, Davidson Academy in Reno, NV is the only free public day school in the US for profoundly gifted students (those who score in the 99.9% percentile on IQ or equivalent test scores). Taylor Wilson, a Davidson Academy student, built a nuclear fusion reactor at 14-years-old. His family specifically moved to Reno so he could attend Davidson Academy and work with atomic physicists, take upper-division math classes, and play with uranium.
Again at the moment, there is no federal mandate to accommodate profoundly gifted students such as Wilson or giftedness in general. Many states, including Massachusetts, have no mandates or funding for gifted education. One of the reasons is that many people assume that gifted kids and especially profoundly gifted kids like Taylor Wilson do not need any accommodations made. Others, however, contend that gifted kids are underserved. They claim that profoundly gifted kids like Taylor Wilson are the most underserved in the US and that we're placing the country at risk when we deny them an appropriate education; such a claim is entirely plausible when a teen knows how to build a dirty bomb or knows more about digital technology than most adults do.
Around the world, the need for a generation of hackers, cyber counterintelligence, and cyber defense officers is just as warranted as the need to invest in gifted education. When we don't invest in gifted kids, they often underachieve, become disillusioned with school and society, and often resort to crime, including terrorism. We have witnessed the results, many times over by now.
Perhaps a simple step to start would be with the Department of Education's Race to the Top initiative. Perhaps it should be a Race to Share instead? Put simply, billions of dollars are being spent on Race to the Top reforms that has the potential to transform our schools for decades to come, but if the money doesn't include anything to foster open source and a generation of hackers, cyber counterintelligence, cyber defense, or gifted education that might prevent future terrorist or tragedies, then it will leave us vulnerable and susceptible and our future at risk.

As a retired high school math teacher who burned out after 37 years, I'm still very conscious of the lack of fairness that has pervaded public education. (Fairness in budgets, teacher training, and courses offered, testing, etc.) I still believe in education and teaching and I still believe it could be whole lot better than it is.
I once had a student who asked "Am I entitled to an education in the public schools?" (The student was asking in the fairness context of noticing that the special needs students were attended to a lot, and that the regular curriculum of the course was taking a hit so it probably wouldn't complete by the end of the school year. It didn't.) I responded "Under the law you are entitled to an education, but you're not necessarily entitled to a good one." I suggested that not being a special needs student required that she take more charge of her own education to fill the gaps I couldn't supply. I mentioned that regular students are put behind the special needs students when educational services are delivered. In most cases it comes down to money.
All that seemed really unfair then and it still does. I saw the tail wag the dog on budgets, staffing, student placement, etc.
So the bottom line for me is that fairness in education needs to be fully re-established. A strong look at priorities and entitlements needs to be made at the legislative levels to even the educational balance. There always should be programs for the gifted as well. Teachers should receive full feedback about their students after state mandated tests have been graded so that instruction can be improved--didn't happen in my district. Policies such as "No Child Left Behind" should be scrapped because they cause everyone to be left behind along with huge waste of scarce funds and reduced instruction time.
Last, schools should get over their nonsense about avoiding open source software solutions and the use of Linux in their computers. Boot up a computer with any free, long-term support distribution of Linux and you're allowing education to maximize with the students and teachers who use it along with a stable, trouble-free environment. Why is this computer environment so hard to implement? Is this a simple lesson our nation can't learn?
The DOD has expressed concern about the United States losing ground in the area of STEM expertise in the workforce and academia. Other countries are producing more engineers & scientists than the US to the point that the lack of a STEM trained workforce/populace is becoming a threat to national security. A generation of hackers needs to be fostered just to be able to protect ourselves.

Paul Walker's Friends and Family Hold Memorial at Crash Site
Police helped clear a space for Walker's loved ones amid other mourners and onlookers, Antonio Holmes, a body-shop worker who knew Walker through his Always Evolving racing team, tells PEOPLE. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Walker's Fast and Furious studio Universal obtained the necessary police permit for the gathering.
It was not immediately clear which family members attended. Walker is survived by his mother and father, two brothers, a sister and his 15-year-old daughter Meadow.
Walker's Fast and the Furious costar Vin Diesel also appeared at the Santa Clarita, Calif., site Monday night, where he thanked fans – who have been congregating there since Saturday's accident – for "showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciated him."
Holmes, who was also an acquaintance of the other victim, Roger Rodas, said a public fan tribute is being planned for Dec. 15. "We'll be over at Neptune's [Net] in Malibu to do a tribute ride," he said. "There's an infamous scene in the first Fast and the Furious movie that was shot there."
Post by Paul Walker.
Fans seeking to make donations are being asked to contribute to Walker's charity, Reach Out WorldWide, which helps organize resources for disaster relief.
"Paul founded the organization with the genuine desire to help others, and it's important to his family to keep his memory alive through ROWW," the Walker family said in a Facebook post.

NeoStem closed on its acquisition of Amorcyte, a development-stage cell therapy company focusing on cardiovascular disease treatments, following approval by shareholders of both companies on Friday.
NeoStem issued 5,843,483 shares in base stock, which has a value of about $3.97 million based on Friday's closing price of $0.68 a share, and will issue up to 4,092,768 shares of common stock tied to achieving business milestones, at a value of $2.78 million. As part of the deal, NeoStem issued warrants to purchase 1,881,008 shares of common stock exercisable over a seven-year period at a price of $1.466 per share, for a total roughly $2.76 million. Upon successful commercialization of Amorcyte's AMR-001, the company said it will pay certain earn-out payments on sales.
The deal's value has fallen by about half since last July, reflecting a drop in the company stock price from the $1.40 per share range the week the acquisition was announced. Shares had traded as high as $3.50 last year after the company joined the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture in announcing a collaboration to research and raise awareness of adult stem cell therapies. The council's charitable foundation STOQ International committed $1 million toward the collaboration.
The company in July announced plans to fund research and strengthen its cash balance by raising $16.5 million—13,750,000 units at $1.20 per unit—through a public offering that closed in August.
NeoStem also restated that it intends to launch a Phase II clinical trial for Amorcyte's lead product candidate, AMR-001, for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) no later than the first quarter of 2012—a trial the company announced when it announced plans to acquire Amorcyte in July. Amorcyte had been spun out of Progenitor Cell Therapy, which Neostem acquired in January 2011.
AMR-001 is an autologous, bone marrow-derived, pharmaceutical grade cell-based product that uses a cell population enriched for CD34+CXCR4+ cells. AMR-001 involves infusion of an active population of these cells directly into a patient's heart via an intracoronary catheter 6 to 11 days after an AMI, after the "hot", or inflammatory, phase.

In addition to global proteomic screening strategies, protein profiling also encompasses more focused and informed experimental strategies. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) refers to the process by which epithelial cells lose their cell-cell junctions, exhibit spindle cell morphology, and acquire increased cellular motility.
In breast cancer, EMT facilitates invasion of surrounding tissues and correlates closely with cancer invasiveness, metastasis, and relapse. A group led by Randolph Elble, Ph.D., of Southern Illinois University's School of Medicine is focusing on the role played in EMT by members of the hCLCA family of calcium-activated chloride channel regulators.
In addition to the role suggested by their name, these proteins also function as secreted metalloproteinases, and their loss indicates an increased risk of metastasis. "Our studies were based on observations of apparent EMT in knockdown cell lines," he explained.
"To determine whether attenuation of CLCA2 and 4 really caused EMT, we assessed expression levels of proteins associated with epithelial or mesenchymal phenotypes by Western blot."
The transition from epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype takes about two weeks following knockdown of CLCA2 or 4, and can be confirmed by observing delocalization of E-cadherin from cell-cell junctions. "We could quantify proteins over a wide range of expression using a Li-Cor Odyssey fluorescent scanner," said Dr. Elble.
The group found that loss of these proteins is associated with transition to a mesenchymal phenotype in breast cancer, raising an inherent paradox: "Most metalloproteases promote the very processes that CLCA2 and 4 inhibit," Dr. Elble pointed out.
He anticipates that the work may have considerable clinical payoff. "Clinically, we found that the loss of CLCA2 expression in primary breast tumors presages a greater risk of metastasis, and we are currently investigating the therapeutic potential of the secreted form of the protease."
In the absence of a sufficiently specific and sensitive clinically approved biomarker for cancer, current methods for diagnosing neoplastic diseases are largely restricted to costly imaging-based procedures, such as computer-assisted tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Mauro Ferrari, Ph.D., is president and CEO of the Methodist Hospital Research Institute (MHRI) and professor of internal medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Ferrari and his colleague, Tony Hu, are developing a novel technology that enriches low molecular weight proteins for biomarker discovery.
"Low molecular weight and abundance proteins are excellent candidates for biomarker development, but these proteins can be a billion-fold less concentrated than the most abundant proteins," said Dr. Ferrari. "In other words, highly abundant proteins often interfere in the detection of lower abundant proteins."
By precisely controlling the pore geometry and surface chemistry, the MHRI/Weill label-free nanopore-based assay can selectively sort and concentrate proteins of interest from blood samples. Tumor samples are spotted onto a nanoporous silica layer, in which small peptides are trapped, while the larger proteins are removed from the surface after washings. Captured molecules can then be eluted from the pores and analyzed by MALDI TOF MS.
"With no need for additional sample-preparation steps or invasive procedures, this platform provides a rapid, reliable, and low-cost method for novel biomarker discovery," Hu said.
The nanopore assay has been used to identify subtle changes in low molecular weight protein expression signatures using negative control and diseased serum samples collected from imaging-proven stage I–III cancer mice models, and the application of mass-spectrometry allows for the identification of proteins unique to different stages of cancer development.

Specialty Oil FAQs
ATV Oil FAQs
Does Valvoline ATV oil meet SG, SH, SJ API service classifications?
Valvoline ATV 4-Stroke SAE 10W-40 motor oil meets these specs as well as the JASO MA specification for wet-clutch applications.
Is Valvoline ATV oil a synthetic?
Valvoline 4-Stroke ATV motor oil is not a synthetic. Valvoline does not offer a synthetic oil for ATVs.
Motorcycle Oil FAQs
I ride a Harley-Davidson® and was told only to use their motorcycle oil. Is it OK to use Valvoline motorcycle oil?
It is completely fine to use Valvoline's 4-Stroke Motorcycle Oil in Harley-Davidson motorcycles. This oil is designed to meet the needs of all major brands of 4-stroke motorcycles and has been specifically tested in Harley-Davidson at our Ashland, KY testing facility.
System Fluids FAQs
Power Steering Fluid FAQs
What is the shelf life of the remaining Valvoline power steering fluid after it has been opened?
Any chemical that has been opened, including brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc., has a recommended shelf life of no longer than two to three years, depending on storage.
Automatic Transmission Fluid FAQs
I had my vehicle's transmission fluid changed using Valvoline MaxLife™ ATF Fully Synthetic. Conventional transmission fluid was used for all previous changes. Will this cause a problem?
No. Switching to synthetic transmission fluid after using a conventional product will not cause a problem. Synthetic and conventional oils are 100 percent compatible.
What is the difference between DEXRON® III/MERCON® and type F transmission fluid?
The Valvoline Type F transmission fluid is a high quality NON-friction modified fluid. DEXRON® III/MERCON includes friction modifiers in the fluid additive package.
Does Valvoline make a synthetic ATF?
Yes. Valvoline makes several synthetic ATFs. MaxLife® ATF, Valvoline ATF for MERCON® V* applications, ATF +4 and DEXRON® VI are all synthetic transmission fluids.
What is the shelf life of automatic transmission fluid?
The Valvoline Company does not have a documented shelf life exposure on finished motor oil or automatic transmission fluid. We would expect under optimal conditions (in an enclosed space, protected from the weather) that the product would be stable for an extended period of time. We recommend two things: 1) Make sure the rating meets or exceeds your requirements, and 2) Shake the container before use. If the fluid sits for an extended period of time, sometimes the additives may settle in the bottom of the container.
Is it OK to mix synthetic ATF with a conventional and/or synthetic blend ATF?
Yes. Synthetic ATF and conventional fluids are 100 percent compatible with each other.
Is MaxLife ATF compatible with other brands of automatic transmission fluid?
MaxLife ATF is a multi-vehicle transmission fluid that is compatible with many brands and manufacturer recommendations. Refer to the MaxLife product data sheet to determine whether MaxLife is compatible for your vehicle's application.
Is MaxLife automatic transmission fluid an SP-III fluid?
MaxLife ATF is 100 percent compatible for use in SP-II and SP-III applications.
Can MaxLife ATF be used in Volvos with a Geartronic Transmission?
Valvoline MaxLife ATF is suitable for use in Volvo transmissions that require the use of TIV or JWS3309 ATF.
Can MaxLife ATF be used where a Dexron VI fluid is required?
Yes. MaxLife ATF can be used in DEXRON VI applications.
Can MaxLife ATF be mixed with Dexron VI or does the fluid need to be purged prior to installing MaxLIfe ATF?
Valvoline MaxLife ATF transmission fluid is 100 percent compatible with the DEXRON VI for mixing or flushing a system.
Is MaxLife ATF OK to use in applications requiring Mercon-V fluid?
Yes. MaxLife ATF can be used where a MERCON V* fluid is recommended.

Antifreeze FAQs
Does the color of antifreeze matter? Can you mix antifreeze with different colored antifreeze products?
Color is used by many antifreeze and vehicle manufacturers for identification purposes. Color has no bearing on the performance of the antifreeze. Always follow the specifications in your owner's manual for coolant applications.
Can you mix DEX-COOL™ with other antifreeze products?
Improper mixing of coolants has the potential to cause corrosion issues. Valvoline recommends using the correct antifreeze/coolant for your particular application.
Pyroil® FAQs
What is the proper way to use Pyroil engine flush? Do I drain the oil first or add the engine flush to the oil?
- Before using engine flush, ensure the oil in the crankcase is up to safe level and then warm engine to driving temperature.
- Immediately before changing the oil and filter, add Pyroil engine flush to the crankcase and allow the engine to run at normal idle speed for five minutes. Do not drive vehicle or race engine until the crankcase has been drained and fresh motor oil installed.
- Drain the crankcase and replace the oil filter.
- Refill the crankcase with fresh motor oil.
SynPower Chemicals FAQs
Valvoline 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil claims to meet SAE J2360 specifications. However, Valvoline 75W-140 Synthetic Gear Oil does not make the same claim. Do both of these Valvoline SynPower products meet the SAE J2360 spec?

There are a number of reasons why buying is more advantageous than renting in Charleston and the rest of the Tri County area. Here are the best 5 reasons owning a home is better than renting in this market.
1. Rents have skyrocketed over the last few years, making it less affordable to rent. Thats likely to continue as the number of available rental properties decline. In addition, companies like Boeing and Benefitfocus continue to expand creating more demand for housing which should drive rents and home prices higher.
From January to October of last year, the rent for a one bedroom apartment jumped 12.5%. The increase was more than 16 percent for a two bedroom.
2. Owning a home has historically been the best way to increase ones net worth. Its an investment in your future. When you rent, the rent is gone every month. When you own a home, a portion of each payment is paying down the mortgage and building equity in your home. Some look at this as a forced savings account. Either way you see it, your net worth is growing. According to the Federal Reserve the median net worth is $174,500 for someone who owns a home versus only $5100 for someone who doesnt. Thats a 34:1 difference and it speaks volumes about the power of being a homeowner.
Source: The Federal Reserve Boards Survey of Consumer Finances for 2010
3. Low interest rates. Todays rates are near the lowest in history so buying is still very cheap. If youre going buy, now is the time while home prices and the borrowing costs are still low.
At the end of 2013 the Federal Reserve announced that it will start dialing down its bond buying program in the first quarter of 2014, also known as QE. This program is the reason rates have been so low. By cutting back and eventually phasing it out completely, interest rates will move higher. Since The Fed hinted they were going to cut back in mid 2013, interest rates have increased by 1% . How high do you think they will go once they actually start cutting back? No one knows for sure however all the experts agree rates will move higher and it will be more expensive to buy a home as a result.
4. Owning gets cheaper every year. How you say? When you have a fixed rate mortgage the payment doesnt change. As you get older youre likely to make more money but the mortgage payment will always be the same on a fixed payment. So in 20 years a $1200 mortgage payment should be a much smaller percentage of your income. On the other hand your rent will increase as the years go buy.
5. Pride of ownership. Living in a community dominated by owners tends to be nicer. It tends to have better schools, and overall be a better community to live in because owners care more about the property and surrounding areas. They have more invested so they care more about the community than a renter.

AFTER Saturday night's victory over the Pitt Panthers at Heinz Field, Youngstown State University quarterback Kurt Hess was asked how the win felt.
"It hasn't even hit me yet," the junior said.
I guarantee that when Hess woke up Sunday morning, the victory hit him. And that it felt pretty darn good.
For the first time since 2000, the Penguins defeated a Division I, FBS, school. The 31-17 victory over the Panthers also was the first defeat Pitt had ever suffered from a FCS, or Division I-AA, school.
The best part of the victory for YSU is that it didn't happen by a fluke or by some combination of miracles. The Penguins simply outplayed the Panthers from top to bottom, and Pitt knew it.
"You've got to give credit to Youngstown State," Pitt running back Ray Graham said. "That just goes to show that you can't sleep on any opponent. Not to say that we did or that anyone in the locker room did, it's just that you have to give credit. They're on scholarship, just like we're on scholarship. They did their job to a 'T' and that was it."
A person in the press box said it the best, "It was the upset that didn't look like an upset." If someone who didn't know which team was which, the case could have been made that YSU was supposed to win this game.
For one, the Penguins were downright good on third-down conversions, as they converted 11 of 16. Pitt was 7 of 16.
But the biggest stat of the night was the time of possession. YSU controlled the ball for 35 minutes and 10 seconds. The Panthers had the ball for 24:50.
And upon further review the Penguins never trailed. Against a Big East school. On its home field. Like I was saying in the press box Saturday night, "This is happening." Well it happened, and the Penguins won't soon forget it.
For Youngstown State, the formula they used Saturday night is the one that needs to be used throughout the season. Keep the offense on the field and get an early lead to put pressure on the opponent. Also, the defense is still going through a transition with a new coordinator, so if the offense can take the pressure off of the defense and give them a few games to get adjusted, this could be a very dangerous team.
The YSU defense did show improvement Saturday night, but they still have a ways to go. There were at least three plays that come to mind that the Pitt receivers had beat the Penguins' defensive backs. If Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri would have been able to connect with them - he missed the targets each time - this game would have not been a 14-point game. Also in the first half, the Penguins gave up their fair share of third-down conversions, and I'm talking third and long, not a quick punch up the middle conversion.
There are always things to improve on after the first game. I'm sure Wolford will say there are things on offense that he and his staff need to improve on as well. But I do know this, there wasn't a better way to start the 2012 season.
After a win like that, it will take leadership and discipline from the coaching staff and upperclassmen to make sure the Penguins stay focused on the next opponent - Valparaiso. Last season, the Penguins beat the Crusaders, 77-13, and a score like that is expected again.
The Penguins say they are under the mindset to go 1-0 every week. After opening the season with a victory like that, that goal might be attainable.

Greeley's Kream of the Krop big swing band on Sunday honored their late founder and leader with a tribute concert, offering the public a free listen to songs like "Over the Rainbow" and "Orange Colored Sky."
Bob Johnson, a longtime member of the Greeley Kiwanis Club, died at the age of 82 in March last year. He started the Kiwanis Club marching band and founded the Kream of the Krop. A former University of Northern Colorado mathematics professor and financial adviser, he was an avid fund-raiser and philanthropist.
John Mills, the band's musical director, said many of the songs the band performed Sunday were among his favorites. Mills said the free concert was meant to show their appreciation for Johnson's dedication to their music and to the community.
"It was just a really good opportunity to show the community how much we appreciate what Bob did, and we'll try to continue to keep his legacy alive," Mills said.

There's nothing equal when raising heifers
by Sandy Stuttgen, Tina Kohlman, Pat Hoffman, and Annette Zwald
The authors are respectively: UW-Extension Taylor County agriculture educator, Sheboygan County dairy and livestock agent, dairy herd management specialist, and a James Crowley dairy management intern.
Cost to raise a heifer ranged from $1,595 to $2,935 on these 49 Wisconsin dairies. Here is what led to the $1,340 difference among operations.
The first two articles in our UW-Extension "Real Heifers Real Herds" series highlighted the data collected by 21 county-based extension agents on 49 Wisconsin operations. As part of the field survey, our group looked at the specific effect of operation type on calf and heifer raising costs. We looked at those utilizing: a tie stall barn as the milking center (tie stall), a parlor as the milking center (free stall), and custom calf/heifer growers (custom grower). These three groups were further divided into calf and heifer enterprises.
One of the major reasons for investigating raising costs of dairy replacements was to demonstrate variability among different systems. The cost to raise a dairy replacement from birth to freshening ranged from $1,595 to $2,935, averaging $2,149 per heifer. This is a 58 percent jump from 1998.
Over $5 per day . . .
Across 40 operations raising calves, the average cost to raise a calf from birth to 61 days old was $326 or $5.31 per day. Tie stall operations spent $5.78 per calf per day, while free stall operations spent slightly less at $5.59. Custom calf growers were 44 percent more cost efficient than the other operations ($3.16 per calf per day).
Figure 1 illustrates the daily calf raising costs by operation. Please note these costs did not include the initial $500 value assigned to each calf. Feed cost included liquid feed, starter, and forage. Variable cost (excluding feed) included bedding, veterinary, death loss, and interest. Fixed cost included calf housing and equipment. Labor and management, including paid and unpaid, were established at $12 and $20 per hour, respectively.
Labor and management (both paid and unpaid) was the highest cost center for raising calves, making up 47 percent. That is an average $2.49 per calf per day. Among the three operation styles, labor and management was the largest cost in tie and free stall operations at $2.93 and $2.51 per calf per day. Labor and management was the second largest expense for the custom calf grower at $0.95 per calf per day. That cost was 65 percent lower than the other two operations. Clearly, labor and management costs had a significant impact on calf raising costs. Our next article will examine labor and management across operations.
The second highest cost center across all operations for raising calves was feed cost, making up 34 percent. Calf feed costs averaged $1.83 per day for all operations. Of the 40 farms surveyed, 36 utilized milk replacer as the liquid feed. The remaining four farms utilized pasteurized waste milk at $3 per hundredweight.
Even though feed, not labor and management, was the highest cost center for the custom calf grower, they still had the lowest total feed cost for a calf at $78.31 or $1.39 per day (56.9 days on feed) as compared to tie stall and free stall operations at $111.66 and $197.01, or $1.79 (66.5 days) and $2.05 (58.6 days) per calf per day. Custom calf growers spent $0.88 and $0.50 per calf per day for liquid feed and calf starter, respectively. Custom calf growers did not utilize forages in their calf feeding program.
Custom growers have lower feed costs since they were able to wean the calf at 6.4 weeks of age and had the calf on feed for fewer days (56.9 days). Because custom calf growers weaned calves earlier, some liquid feed savings were offset by additional calf starter costs. Other feed cost savings may have included purchasing milk replacer in volume and utilizing pasteurized waste milk.
Tie stall operations on average spent $1.44 per calf per day for liquid feed and $0.33 per calf per day for calf starter. Free stall operations spent $1.63 per calf per day for liquid feed and $0.40 per calf per day for calf starter. There was no difference in cost for forages between the dairy operations.
Average weaning age for all operations we surveyed was 7 weeks of age; tie stalls had the oldest weaning age at 7.5 weeks. Free stall and custom calf growers had similar weaning ages of approximately 6.8 and 6.4 weeks, respectively.
Lowering the days on feed has a direct impact on feed costs. Tie stall operations fed liquid feed longer which resulted in a slightly lower calf starter cost. Even though tie stall operations fed liquid feed longer than the free stall operations, their total feed cost per calf per day was less.
Daily variable calf costs were essentially the same for tie stall and free stall operations ($0.89 and $0.85 per calf per day, respectively). The custom calf growers' variable cost was less than half that of the tie stall and free stall operations, averaging $0.41 per head per day. Within variable cost, veterinary expense differed most between dairies and custom growers. A tie stall operation spent almost three times more ($0.35 per calf per day) on veterinary related expenses than custom calf growers ($0.13 per calf per day). Free stall operations spent about 2.5 times more ($0.32 per calf per day) than the custom calf grower. In our survey, we counted colostrum replacement products as a veterinary cost. Both dairy operations used this product which was an expensive item custom calf growers did not purchase.
Despite differences in veterinary costs, we did not observe large difference in death loss. The average death loss reported for tie stall, free stall, and custom calf growers was 2.8 percent, 2.9 percent, and 1.8 percent, respectively. These percentages represented the death loss of live calves and did not represent any calf losses during the first 24 hours of life.
Custom calf growers spent $0.37 per calf per day on housing, while tie stall and free stall operations spent $0.16 and $0.13.
Less range once weaned . . .
In our survey, the average cost to raise a dairy heifer across 44 operations was $1,323 or $2.04 per day. Differences in heifer-raising costs between operation types (Figure 2) were not as large as the calf-raising costs. Tie stall operations incurred a daily cost to raise a heifer of $2.12, free stall operations of $2.04, and custom heifer growers an average of $1.93.
Feed cost was the greatest expense to raise dairy heifers, regardless of type of operation, making up over half the total cost. The average feed cost for all operations was $1.05 per heifer per day (648 days). Comparing the three operations, custom heifer growers had $0.15 to $0.18 lower feed costs per day than the other operations at $0.92 per heifer per day. Please note, custom heifer growers fed the heifers approximately 92 days less than the other operations. This was due to the fact custom heifer grower returned the heifer to the dairy owner prior to freshening. Tie stall operations fed a heifer for $1.07 per day and free stall operations $1.10 per day.
In our survey, custom heifer growers grew heifers faster, freshening them at an average of 23 months of age. Both dairy operations freshened heifers at an average age of 24 months. In regard to heifer-raising costs, the other three areas were essentially the same.

on November 17, 2012 - 6:30 PM
David Gerken Jr. sat through the first half of the Bills-Dolphins game Thursday night with his brother and a friend, rooting for his Miami team and wearing his orange-knit Dolphins hat.
Though he probably wasn't thrilled with the Bills dominating the first half and leading, 19-7, his family knows of no nastiness between him and Bills fans.
And although he may have had a couple of beers, he was not intoxicated, his family said. Gerken knew he had to go to work the next day, as a supervisor in a Victor packaging company.
Around halftime, Gerken said he was going to the men's room. Minutes later, he called his brother on his cellphone and told him he was being thrown out of Ralph Wilson Stadium – and he didn't know why.
He told his brother he would meet him after the game at a nearby bar.
That's the last his loved ones ever heard from him.
Roughly nine hours later, the body of the 26-year-old Gerken was found in a creek down a steep ravine, not far from the Bills Healthy Zone Fieldhouse.
On Saturday, barely 24 hours after the discovery, the circumstances leading to his death still remained a huge mystery to his family.
Specifically, why was he ejected from the Bills-Dolphins game? And how was his body found southeast of the stadium, in the opposite direction from the tavern north of the stadium where he arranged to meet his brother and friend?
His father, David Gerken Sr. of Palmyra, was asked how he could make any sense out of what happened in the hours before his son's body was found.
"I can't," the father said in an approximately 20-minute telephone interview Saturday. "I don't understand anything yet. I'm numb.
"I can't blame anyone," he added. "I don't know exactly what happened. I'd like to know what happened. Why did he get ejected? What did he do wrong? I don't know. I don't know if I ever will."
Even after Gerken was ejected, he sounded under control while talking to his younger brother on a cellphone, his father said. The brothers agreed to meet after the game at Tailgaters Bar & Grill, at the corner of Southwestern Boulevard and Abbott Road.
David Gerken Jr., who knew the area around the stadium, didn't show up there after the game.
Instead, his body was found near the far end of stadium property the next morning, past a fenced-in area.
"Why would he go down that way?" his father asked. "Why would he go over the fence or around the fence? There's no reason for him to go there. I don't know why he wound up where he was found. Your guess is as good as mine."
After learning early Friday morning that their son remained missing, the young man's parents headed to Orchard Park to help look for their son.
Some time around 7 a.m., the elder Gerken found him.
Just as he was about to call 911, his wife called to tell him that Orchard Park fire personnel were going to take over the search.
"I already found him, honey," Gerken Sr. said he told her.
"I wish I had never walked in there," he said Saturday morning, trying to control his emotions.
David Gerken Jr. would seem an unlikely person to have died in such mysterious circumstances.
A graduate of Palmyra-Macedon High School, he had worked the last seven years at Heritage Packaging in Victor, where he earned Employee of the Month honors in August, rose to the level of supervisor and trained new employees. He was conscientious enough about his job that he planned to go back to work Friday, even after the late-night game that would have gotten him home well after midnight.
Gerken went to the game with his younger brother, Chuck, and a friend. Although he wore his Dolphins hat, he wasn't outfitted in full team regalia.
"I told him not to wear too much, because I know how the crowds can get," his father said. "Maybe [the hat] had something to do with him being ejected from the game."
Some time around halftime, David Gerken Jr. went to the men's room. He later phoned his brother, told him he was being ejected, but wasn't sure why.
"He said to his brother, 'You stay at the game, I'll walk over to Tailgaters, and you meet me at the end of the game,' " his father said.
But his brother and friend never found him at Tailgaters. So they went back to their car, parked on Abbott Road. When they still couldn't find him, they reported him missing around 12:30 a.m.
David Gerken Jr. was about 5-foot-9, 160 pounds. Family members didn't see him as a combative person who would fight with people.
"He was a very easygoing guy," his father said. "If somebody had hassled him, he might have hassled them back, but he would have done it with a smile on his face and said, 'Enjoy the game.' "
Prime-time games like Thursday's typically lead to a much longer tailgating experience, and there were of reports of drunken behavior inside and outside the stadium.
"I don't know that alcohol played a role," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew D. Benz said Friday.
And Gerken's younger brother doesn't drink, their father said.
"I don't think he [David Jr.] went there with the intent of drinking a lot," his father said. "He had to be at work the next day. He wasn't with a big drinking crowd. … I'm sure he had a couple of beers, but was he intoxicated? I don't believe he would be."
Despite his family's enormous loss, Gerken Sr. once again thanked the Erie County Sheriff's Office and Orchard Park police and fire officials for working hard overnight to find the general area where his son's body was found.
Does he hold any ill will toward the Bills or stadium officials?
"I'm going to try to find out what the problem was," he said. "If the Bills indeed need to change their policy, so nothing like this ever happens again, that's great."
While so much remains murky about what happened to David Gerken Jr., it seems clear the results of the investigation will spark a debate about the Bills' – and other National Football League teams' – practices in dealing with the fans at their stadiums.
"We continue to cooperate with law enforcement during their ongoing investigation," Bills Senior Vice President for Communications Scott Berchtold said in a brief email Saturday to The Buffalo News.

An undated law school graduation photo of the 36-year-old London-based attorney surfaced on the cover of Laha, a Beirut-based magazine. Alamuddin is dressed in traditional British barrister fashion, wearing a black robe and wig, and of course, still stunningly beautiful.
Alamuddin, who's fluent in French and Arabic, specializes in human rights, international law, extradition and criminal law for the Doughty Street Chambers firm in London.
Not only is she very successful in her career (advising the U.N. and representing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange), she also topped the list of London's hottest female barristers on a Tumblr blog.
Clooney, 53, and Alamuddin got engaged in April, when the notoriously unattainable bachelor proposed.
The couple recently attended her cousin's wedding in Italy, where Alamuddin officiated.

Required courses: HIST 1101, HIST 1102, plus 27 additional HIST credits, of which six credits must be in U.S. and three in non-Western history. Courses that cover both the U.S. and the non-Western world may be counted either as U.S. or as non-Western history, but not as both. With the permission of the departmental advisor, up to 6 credits in Jewish history (in excess of those used to meet Jewish studies distribution requirement) may count toward the major. We strongly recommend all majors/minors do the following:
Exit requirement: Either a 25-page paper, which counts as a three-credit course toward the major (HIST 4001) or successful completion of one or another of the two capstone courses (HIST 3001, 3002), which will be offered in alternate years. Any student wishing to write a senior paper should consult with a faculty adviser.
The Department encourages its students to master at least one language in addition to English and Hebrew. Knowledge of the relevant language is virtually essential for senior thesis research on many topics in the history of Europe or the non-western world. It is also essential for M.A. and PhD programs in History.
Required courses: HIST 1101, HIST 1102, plus 12 additional HIST credits, of which three credits must be in American History.
With permission of the Department, up to 3 credits must be in Jewish History (in excess of those used to meet the Jewish Studies distribution requirement) may be counted toward the minor.

Montreal's Uniprix Stadium Reprising Role as Women's Rogers Cup Tournament Host
Unlike the men's draw, the 2014 Rogers Cup women's bracket will include its reigning champion, which this year happens to be none other than world No. 1 Serena Williams. Williams has enjoyed wins at the Rogers Cup on several occasions including 2013, 2011, and her first back in 2001. While the tournament has been no stranger to producing repeat winners, there has not been one since Martina Hingis accomplished the feat in 1999 and 2000. Fellow past winner, world No. 4 and second seed Petra Kvitova, also will be on hand to compete in the event and most recently claimed the Rogers Cup in 2012.
The familiar host venue of Montreal's Uniprix Stadium will once again serve as the setting for all the 2014 action from Aug. 4-10. Other notable players to keep an eye out for throughout the week include third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 4 Maria Sharapova, and No. 8 Victoria Azarenka.

You can see Rockne kicking himself. His team would've likely won if he made one less mistake.
You can see Rockne kicking himself. His team would've likely won if he made one less mistake.
I wish Denney's makeup wasn't quite so loud. But it's nice to see someone skating with short hair instead of the bun.
I actually like the way D/C attack their program (like D/B used to do), but I admit I also still feel weird about them because of the split with Caitlin. Plus it is odd to see someone go from a team that pretty much had the better received artistry/package overall to being on a team that has work to do in the artistry department. But they gave a great performance and I'm happy they were able to do so. Now let's see if that will hold up for Worlds.
I like Mary Beth and Rockne's flow on the ice. Hopefully they will stay together and become that U.S. team that goes up the rankings.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Mister Bluebird on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actch'll
Ev'rything is satisfactch'll
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!
Neither Caydee nor John are particularly graceful skaters, and it just gets worse with the two of them together.
Still, shutting down Andrea Joyce twice, once by each of them, makes me a bit more appreciative.
If there's one question that sets my teeth on edge, it's "What was going through your mind when...." Ugh! What was going through their minds? "Stroke...stroke...get ready to jump... **#* that landing....next one...."
Clean skate from D/C, but they definitely do not thrill me. I don't see them taking 6th place at Worlds either. The teams for U.S. pairs future leading up to Sochi, I hope will be Marley/ Brubaker, Donlan/ Speroff, and Cain/Reagan. But, D/C apparently are politically backed and liked. I don't think their program, while clean should have necessarily scored as highly. The only way D/C will prove their worth to me (and I know I don't matter), is to rock who they are, take a different approach and really up their level at the same time with difficult lifts and something special. Coughlin needs a lot more stretch and less looking like a truck driver (or else make the truck driver look work on the ice for their team). Right now, they are just 2 parts of previous successful teams who have come together, skated clean a conservative fp and were over-scored.
Of course, M/B and E/L needed to skate lights out with just what they have right now and can do, but they didn't. Congrats to the medalists.
I think Caitlyn is sort of lucky not to be with John anymore, he sort of had a truck driver look to her classy look. Now that he is with Caydee it just hypes up the truck driver look, they do not look classy at all, worlds will not like this. When I see them together I think to myself...heeee hawww....
To the poster who asked why C/L split up: I think people are still asking that q. Don't think an explanation has ever been given.
I think Caydee looked way better in a bun. Their program was glaringly empty coming after the exquisite Sleeping Beauty of D/S. I wish they were going to worlds.
M/B did great - hopefully Mary Beth can do a repeat and Rockne will focus.
I feel like E/L was gifted. They aren't going to go anywhere IMO unless she can fix her jumps and it seems kind of late for that. They don't have the best lifts in town any more either. Hello, D/S!
Thrilled about Donlan/Speroff!
Unthrilled about Denney/Coughlin. Truck drivers. Heh. Exactly. I'm getting images of that old song "Convoy" now....
Sad about Evora/Ladwig. It really does seem like their window of opportunity the last couple of years is passing them by.
I missed the senior pair competion, darnit!
I'm just echoing what a lot of people have said but D/C didn't do much for me tonight. They are definitely the deserved winners- I don't dispute that even if their scores were a bit inflated- the other teams were too. However, for me they just don't skate with the kind of emotion necessary for the music- I think they should pick music that plays more to their strengths. I will say that, though I've tried to stay out of the debates on what their romantic situation is or is not, I do think it's fairly obvious now that they're dating and have little confidence that they won't break up as a team if they break up as a couple. I don't, right now,think they are our best long term pair prospect but of course anything's possible.
Very sorry for E/L. I hope they will compete again next year. I enjoy watching them and wish them well.
M/B I think are and are going to be amazing. I think they are definitely our strongest prospect for the future- they have made amazing progress and have great presence and personality and lines. She also really does have the heart of a competitor I think- she was amazing today when they were sitting in first and she was a great sport after and SO happy about the final result you cold tell. I am VERY much looking forward to watching them in the future and love what they have been saying about longevity being key- I hope they do stay together and grow for years to come.

The Niles McKinley Red Dragons will make their second road trip in as many weeks Friday when they travel to Columbiana County to take on Beaver Local. Friday's game marks the All-American Conference (Red Division) lid-lifter for both ball clubs.
Niles will enter the contest with a 2-1 mark, while Beaver Local (0-3) is looking for its first win of the season.
Conference play has been a struggle for both clubs. Since the formation of the AAC in 2008, Beaver Local is 0-8 in league play. Niles is 2-6, with its only wins coming against the Beavers.
This will be the seventh meeting between the Red Dragons and the Beavers. Niles leads the series 4-2.
Trailing 21-20 with 1:44 remaining in the game, Niles drove 86 yards in 11 plays to defeat Beaver Local 28-21.
Niles scored the winning touchdown on a one-yard run by Darius Harris, who took a handoff from Bryceton Baker, swept to his left, then turned upfield to plow through defenders and cross the goal line. The final play of the drive occurred with on a second-and-goal situation with 18 second remaining, and Niles out of timeouts.
Beaver Local grabbed a 7-0 lead on its first series, thanks in large part to a Niles fumble on its first play from scrimmage. The Beavers had to travel just 28 yards after the turnover. The short drive was capped by a Ricky May one-yard run.
In the early stages of the second quarter, the Beavers offense was again given a short field thanks to a Jared Britt interception. This time, a 33-yard drive ended with a May two-yard plunge, giving the Beavers a 14-0 advantage in the early stages of the second quarter.
Niles found paydirt on its next possession via a 43-yard touchdown run by Blake Robinson. On the night, the junior rushed for 113 yards and two TD s, and pulled in five passes one for a score for 62 yards.
Trailing 14-7 at halftime, Niles quickly gained momentum in the second half when Nick Lucariello recovered a fumble on the opening drive of the third quarter. Niles responded with a 46-yard drive, which ended with a Blake five-yard run to tie the game at 14-14.
The two teams then traded fourth-quarter touchdowns, but Niles' point-after kick was blocked and the Red Dragons trailed 21-20 with 5:09 remaining in the contest.
Baker completed 9-of-18 passes for 160 yards. He was 5-for-8 during the game-winning drive.
Brad Yeager is in his third season as the Niles coach. He owns an 8-15 mark.
Rich Wright is in his 13th year with the Beavers. He owns a career record of 81-51. Under Wright, Beaver Local has recorded three 10-0 seasons, and it has reached the playoffs six times. The Beavers last advanced to post-season play in 2005, when they finished with an 8-3 mark. Since then, it has been a struggle. Beaver Local finished 6-4 in 2006, then a year later Wright experienced his first losing record (3-7). The Beavers finished 4-6 in '08, and last year they were a dismal 1-9.
The Beaver Local roster includes 19 lettermen and 13 seniors.
Offensively, Beaver Local is guided by senior quarterback Evan Schneider. As a junior, Schneider started all 10 games, and finished 76 of 150 for 901 yards and eight touchdowns. Schneider's favorite target is Jared Pirl, who finished last season with 30 catches for 323 yards and a touchdown. Pirl is flanked by junior Ryan Smith and senior Trevor Householder. The Beavers' running game features five backs who all receive considerable playing time, led by three-year starter Ricky May.
Defensively, the line includes two-year starters Bobby Mercer, Tyler Givens and Rob Miller. Mercer combines strength (he benches over 400 pounds) and speed (4.5 40-yard dash) which is gaining the attention of a number of college scouts.
The Beavers also have experience in the linebacking corps in May, Schneider and Lyle Jennings. In the secondary, Jared Britt and Pirl bring experience to an otherwise young group.
Beaver Local opened its season with a 16-10 double-overtime loss to arch-rival East Liverpool. The Beavers were then handled by Crestview, 41-7. This past Friday, they fell to Struthers 20-12.
Against the Wildcats, Schneider ran and threw for a touchdown, finishing the game with 113 yards passing. May rushed for 79 yards and caught a pair of passes for 31 yards.
The Beavers struggled on special teams against Struthers. They had a punt and an extra point blocked, and also missed an extra point after a penalty negated a successful two-point conversion. Beaver Local finished with 280 yards on offense, but squandered several scoring chances.
Entering its game against Coventry, Niles hadn't scored more than a single touchdown in seven of its previous eight games dating back to 2009. In their last five games, the Red Dragons had scored just 20 points.
However, all of that changed against the Comets.
With the coaching staff deciding to focus on the running game, Niles erupted for 572 total yards in a 40-24 trouncing of the Comets. Senior Reggie Wells rolled up 325 rushing yards, including touchdown runs of 2, 71, 58 and 91 yards. As a team, the Dragons racked up 429 yards on the ground.
Wells gained 303 yards before intermission, and finished the night with a 16.25 yards-per-carry average.
Mike Watson added 102 yards receiving on four catches, including a 55-yarder from Zack Bailey in the third quarter which gave Niles a 34-3 lead. Tommy Duffy (79 yards on nine carries) had a 56-yard scoring run for the Dragons' final points of the night.
Niles coach Brad Yeager:
"We just went back to the drawing board and decided that we needed to redefine who we were offensively. We decided that we have the right personnel to make us a running team first if given the right opportunity. Friday's performance was a huge confidence boost. Our offensive line includes two sophomores, and I think they discovered that they have the ability to help trigger some big plays."
"Beaver Local will be a big challenge. Up front they're bigger than us. They'll try to run right at you, not around you. They'll smack you in the jaw. They have a tendency to run, run, run..then they'll lull you to sleep and hit you with the big pass."
"Coach Wright has proven that he's a winner. You can't look at their record and assume anything because Beaver Local always comes ready to play."
Beaver Local coach Rich Wright:
"Against Struthers we kind of shot ourselves in the foot a few times and that hurt us. We didn't play real well on special teams and we have to fix that. Struthers also had some speed which we had a tough time containing."
"Two weeks ago against Crestview we didn't play with composure. (Against Struthers) probably for 41 minutes we had some composure. There is about seven minutes that we have got to work on. We just have to keep plugging away. Our kids still practice hard, and that's all you can ask."
"We lost to Niles last year in the final seconds. Both teams have a lot of kids back, so it should be a dogfight."
Following Friday's game at Beaver Local., Niles will play its third consecutive road game when it visits AAC rival Poland. On Oct. 1 the Red Dragons return home to host Brookfield. That game will be Senior Band Night. A week later, Girard visits Bo Rein Stadium on Hall of Fame Night.
