A local franchise has been hit by hackers who stole and duplicated credit card numbers of customers, Altoona police said.
Police said Little Caesars Pizza, 226 E. Chestnut Ave., had its online credit and bank card system hacked and said malicious software was found on the store's computer, although it's not suspected a local employee is responsible.
"At this stage the investigation indicates there is not an in-store problem," said Altoona police Sgt. Benjamin Jones, who said it appears whoever stole the data did so over the Internet. While the store usually uses a separate credit card machine for transactions, there are times when cards are swiped at a computer and processed via the Internet, Jones said.
"It's more susceptible to fraud," Jones said, adding that a bank noticed a pattern of discrepancies and connected it to the store. Most customers, Jones said, have "been made whole" and police are in the process of contacting federal agencies to compare the case against any already open investigations.
Jones said 200 to 250 cards are involved although that doesn't mean all the cards were duplicated and sold on the black market. That is only the number of cards used at the Little Caesar's between Aug. 1 and the beginning of October. Most of the gleaned cards were used at the store in September, Jones added.
In all, police are aware of fraudulent cards being used in 26 states and two different countries, one in Africa and another in Asia. The total loss is estimated at $50,000.
Jones said should those responsible be traced to a foreign country, that would effectively end the case but for now police continue to look into the theft.
"The bad guys seem to be one step ahead of law enforcement because of technology," Jones said. Jones said Little Caesars has "bent over backward" to assist police. Locally, the two Altoona locations of the chain are owned by Richard Kane, who referred all questions about the theft to Little Caesars corporate offices. A call to Little Caesars corporate office was not returned.

Children's Experience of Ramadan
By Umm Salihah
Children and Ramadan/ Jasmin Merdan - Fotolia.com
Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, is the time for healthy adult Muslims' to spend the day abstaining from food and water and the nights in hours of worship and contemplation. Although Muslim children do not usually fast, this does not mean that Ramadan, the holiest of months in the Islamic calendar, is not important for them.

Just months before his 50th birthday, Killing Kennedy star Rob Lowe is experiencing a career renaissance – but he is most excited about his life as a family man.
"My work life is so chaotic and we live in Santa Barbara so it is a very long drive but I'm home every night and I wake up in a beautiful area with my family," Lowe tells PEOPLE. "Sometimes on days off I don't even leave the property."
And although the past few months has been a busy time for the Parks and Recreation star, he is taking extra care to savor his last few months with his youngest son, John Owen, 18, before he goes off to college, following in the footsteps of his brother Matthew, 20, who is in his second year at Duke University.
"They are both so academically advanced," says the proud papa. "They have also been a handful at times but I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, if they had not been I would have worried where my DNA was!"
If the smarts did not come from the former Brat Pack member, it was perhaps passed down by the boys' mother, Sheryl, 52.
"I'm rediscovering my relationship with Sheryl," Lowe says of his jewelry designer wife of 22 years. "She's great and as wonderful as ever. Emotionally, I am in love like a teenager."
And outside of his family life, Lowe couldn't sound busier: The actor is "in denial" about his recent decision to move on from Parks and Recreation. He is developing a new sitcom for NBC, working on the upcoming film Sex Tape with Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, and stars as the title character in the National Geographic Chanel movie Killing Kennedy airing Sunday.
"I feel more creatively fulfilled than I've ever felt," says Lowe, whose costar Ginnifer Goodwin will be doing a live Twitter chat with PEOPLE readers Sunday. "JFK is a role I've always dreamt of playing. I'm really happy, gratified, grateful for this particular moment in my life."
And turning 50 in March is having no negative impact on the youthful-spirited star.
"The candles on the cake mean absolutely nothing," says Lowe. "It truly is about how you lead your life and not how much life is led."

NEW WASHINGTON - It was a night of giveaways Friday night at Buckeye Central High School.
Some you had to be present to win. Others got prizes without even being there.
Of course, there was the 50/50 drawing.
The athletic boosters held the finale of its season-long reverse raffle with the winner going home with $1,000.
The district, which is raising money for a memorial garden, raffled off an iPad and gift certificates from area businesses.
And Colonel Crawford, despite being a county away, walked away with the North Central Conference Silver Division.

Buckeye Central718139 47
Field goals: Wynford 21-32; Buckeye Central 19-40.
3-point goals: Wynford 3-7 (Davis 2, Powers); Buckeye Central 4-14 (Christy, Niese, S. Wurm, Kaple).
Free throws: Wynford 10-15; Buckeye Central 5-10.

The Bucks saw their chance of splitting the Silver Division become a memory when Buckeye Central fell to Wynford in the regular season finale, 55-47. Meanwhile, the team BC was tied with atop the division to start the day, Colonel Crawford, beat Upper Sandusky, 46-39, to wrap up the crown outright.
"It's tough. You want to go out with a W for your seniors and we didn't get it done," Buckeye Central coach Phil Loy said. "We just got off to such a slow start. We just seemed like we were not with it for some reason. I guess I can't explain it. They shot the ball extremely well and they came out and were ready."
Wynford (9-13, 6-7 NCC) kicked in the door offensively out of the gate, sinking 9 of 10 from the floor to take a commanding 21-7 lead in the first quarter.
"That doesn't happen very often," Wynford coach Tim Ehresman said. "We've done that a couple times this year. It's been a while since we have. We talk about taking good shots and making good decisions and if we don't turn it over and we get good shots, we can be OK."
Meanwhile, the Bucks (14-8, 10-3 NCC) fired at a 3 of 11 clip, in part because of Wynford's 2-3 zone.
Not to be outdone, the Bucks used 70 percent shooting from the field and six Wynford turnovers in the second quarter to close the gap. In the final four minutes of the first half, BC went on a 13-2 surge to make it 29-25 at half.
"The second quarter we got right back in it and I liked where we were at," Loy said.
The most impressive stretch of that scoring streak was six straight points in the final 69 seconds of the half, aided in part by two Wynford miscues.
A bucket by Cade Kaple, two of his team-high 12 on the night, opened the third quarter to cut the lead in half. But a couple of turnovers and a BC misfire put Wynford up nine, 36-27.
The Royals had tepid shooting again, firing 6 of 9 from the field in the third quarter to make it a 44-38 game.
The Bucks were not done though. Kaple buried a 3-pointer from the left side to make it a 45-44 game, capping a 6-1 run that took five minutes. Wynford answered with a pair of free throws from Mason Davis, who scored 13 on the night. A Kaple miss from three was rebounded by Davis and the ball ended up out of bounds. On the inbound pass, Alan Niese swiped and raced for the layup.
Just 16 seconds later, it was Todd Carter putting it in from the block and drawing the foul. The bucket gave Wynford a 49-46 lead. A turnover and a missed shot was followed by Buckeye Central being forced to foul with 35.5 second left to go.
The foul put Mike Powers at the line for a one and one. He missed, but Carter soared up, snared the miss and put it in for the 51-46 lead, effectively killing off BC's chances to rally.
"We're down three and Powers misses, which doesn't happen very much because he's very good at the line and we don't check out and he goes around us and scores," Loy said. "That sealed it pretty much right there because we're a possession away. We can tie it or cut it to one."
Ehresman said that was one case where screwing off in practice paid off.
"Sometimes when we're doing free throws (in practice); when we're supposed to be concentrating on our free throws, they're working at screwing around to do stuff like that. Trying to beat each other on the sideline thing," Ehresman said. "If the bounce is just right, that's a good move. The finish was even more impressive. I thought 'Todd what are you doing? Oh, that was a nice move.' I was impressed with it. It's a move that a playmaker makes and he made a great move."
Carter finished with a game-high 20 points.
"Carter played extremely well for them. He's very long and when he wants to play like that, he's tough," Loy said. "Tonight, he was physical and determined and when he plays like that, he's very, very good. With his length, he caused us a lot of problems inside."
Wynford on the night shot 65 percent from the field (21 of 32) while BC was 19 of 40.
"I thought defensively, we did a nice job staying with the game plan and forcing them to shoot jumpers, especially in the second half and we rebounded the ball pretty well most of the night," Ehresman said. "Offensively, I thought we stayed with the game plan as well and we didn't try to do too much too early. We didn't take too many jump shots. We kept attacking them in the lane and that's where I thought we scored pretty well."

On the flip side, I had a strange nightmare last night that O'Brien and Merriman split. When I woke up my hand was on my phone ready to check and make sure it wasn't real! Yikes! I think I'm oversaturated with skating!
Final Day Information
The final day of competition is an exciting make or break situation for Australia. If Australia can secure additional spots in the Men's and Ice Dance, the joke about Australia at the Team event might not actually become a joke!
Events begins at 4:54pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) with the Men's Free Skate. Brendan will be skating 31st in the final group of skaters. His warm up group is scheduled at 10pm AEST.
If Brendan can consolidate his current placement with a solid Free Skate, Australia will have a place in the Men's competition- a sight which we haven't seen in ELEVEN years!
The final event of the Nebelhorn Trophy is the Ice Dance Free Dance- scheduled to start at 11:15pm AEST. Danielle O'Brien and Gregory Merriman are sitting in sixth place and are currently third out of the couples aiming to qualify. They will be skating 17th in the second last group which is scheduled to have its warm up just after 1:15am (Sunday) AEST. It has been TWENTY-FIVE years since the last Australian Ice Dancers competed at an Olympics- staggering but history can be re-written for sure!
All the best of luck skaters!
I thought we hadn't had a dance couple since 1988 - which would be 25 years.
Han secures Sochi Olympic Games spot
"Australian Brooklee Han, has secured a spot for Australia in the Ladies skating event at the 2014 Sochi Games after finishing fifth at the Olympic qualifying event in Oberstdorf, Germany, Saturday morning (Australian time).
Han was placed 10th in the Ladies event after the short program, but then produced the skate of her life in the free program to move up five places..."

I don't think it's enough for an Olympics birth. Well skated Brendan!
Omg omg omg omg !!!! Its enough!!!
Brendan is in the Olympics
I must say that the ISU setting a Technical Minimum score must've been a blessing in disguise. In this season, all the top Aussies skaters have pushed themselves technically. And as their technique improved, so did their presentation.
I agree. I loved his reaction when the head of High Performance Director of Australian figure skating, Melina Simjanovic told him "That's all you needed."
Brendan looks so surprised.

5 Types of People Who Always Give Terrible Advice
In my life, I've received enough bad advice to print out and gift wrap Mount Everest. Everyone is quick to offer it, regardless of whether you asked or not ... and with so much coming in, it's hard to separate genuine wisdom from verbal toilet paper. The problem is that you won't ever know the answer to that until your problem is over, when you can say, "OK, Chad was right. Punching a bull in the nuts isn't a good idea." Or, "Greg is full of shit. Punching them more only made him angrier."
I've, admittedly, never been an authority on advice, but what I can do is warn you who to be wary of. I have plenty of experience dealing with ...
#5. Zealots and Advocates
They Say Things Like:
"I totally understand about having a child who just won't behave. The only way out of this is to pray. Why don't you come down to my church this Sunday, and we'll pray him back to normal?"
"Man, getting laid off right before the holiday? That's harsh. Remember that when you're at the voting booth. The sooner we get Ron Paul into office, the sooner we can get rid of corporate bullshit like that."
"Mom, can we please just get inside the restaurant? Just this once, without incident?"
Why It's a Bad Source:
I have friends who are full-on 420 advocates, and I quite frankly don't have a problem with it. As long as they're not annoying with it or touch me with their filthy dreadlocks, that's their thing. But I don't come to them for advice on matters of stress because their answer is always, "Hit this. It'll relax you." Now, I'm not going to lie -- in the past, I did hit that. And it did relax me. And after that buzz wore off, I was just as stressed as when I first asked for advice.
Obviously theirs was a "here and now" solution, a temporary, Fix-A-Flat means of alleviating the symptoms that does nothing to repair the tire.
"Oh, man, you're totally right. I can totally feel my job coming back. Thanks for the advice!"
I'm not just picking on people who smoke pot -- every group has these zealots who base every conversation around their pet cause. They're always waiting in the wings for any opportunity to insert their agenda into the conversation. Like hardcore, door-to-door Christians who won't take "Fuck off" for an answer, people who are so annoying that they actually make other normal Christians angry. Flip down to the comments section real quick. See those people starting a religious debate on both the atheist and creationist sides? Or the stoner, defending the validity of his smoking, completely ignoring the core point of the article? Those are the people I'm talking about.
Those people not only offer unsolicited advice, but they go out of their way to aggressively force it onto you. Wait, let me guess -- the solution to my financial problem is to adopt your belief system and join a group of like-minded people? Hmmmm ... it's almost like you've got an agenda there.
What did you say the name of your group was again?
Zealots and advocates are salesmen, and every conversation is a pitch. And that means that any advice coming from them is automatically predisposed to bias, based on that agenda. They're not doing it to be malicious. They're just so used to turning their entire life into a perpetual battle for their cause that it gets attached to everything else, like stepping in a pile of dog shit and later trying to figure out how it also got onto your jacket.
Whether they intend to or not, your personal problem is just one more battleground in their never-ending culture war. The ones who aren't close friends just see you as another strategic plot of land to occupy. Another soldier to train for their frontline.
"Welcome aboard. Now, let's go protest something. What really pisses you off?"
But even worse is the opposite of that ...
#4. Ass Kissers
They Say Things Like:
"It shouldn't matter that you wore your old Def Leppard concert T-shirt to the interview. Holes or not, those guys just don't know a good thing when they see it."
"She gave you a D on that report? Don't listen to that bitch, she just doesn't like you. That report was perfect. Just keep doing things your way because you know more about writing than she ever will."
"Now, just to show her, let's put on your report-writing outfit and do another one."
Why It's a Bad Source:
My house used to be extremely popular because, even though I was in my mid-20s, most of my friends weren't quiet old enough to buy booze yet. I was their guy, but my rule was that they had to spend the night so I knew that they weren't out running over families or puking in some poor kid's wading pool. They treated me like a rock star. Every joke I made was funny. Every drunken philosophical observation was deep and groundbreaking, even when I was just talking out of my ass, which was most of the time.
Any time I asked for advice from one of them, they would tell me that I was doing fine as is. In fact, I can't remember a single one of those people saying something to upset me. That is, until I stopped buying them alcohol.
"Thanks, John. You know, you're a really cool guy."
It turns out that my willingness to get them things, easily, that they couldn't get on their own was a powerful bonding agent. In those types of situations, people will go out of their way to make sure they never offend you, because once that bond is broken, they've lost their supplier. And it doesn't have to be just a dude buying booze for minors. The merchandise could be emotional, sexual, financial, an esteem boost, free pony rides ...
You find it all over the place. The pretty girl who surrounds herself with nerdy guys because they shower her with praise. The corporate executive surrounding himself with lower level yes men because they never do or say anything to get on his bad side. That's all fine and dandy, but when it comes to advice, none of those people are going to be straight up with you. Honest, to-the-point advice is usually something you don't want to hear because the solution to many problems involves you changing something about yourself, and that's hard for most people to accept. "The reason you have such a high turnover in employees is because you're kind of a dick to them. You should try not being a dick and see if your numbers improve. Dick."
It doesn't help that you start out every morning with the speech from Glengarry Glen Ross.
Getting that advice from someone you don't fully respect often ends on bad terms. As long as you have something that these people want, they are not going to put themselves in that situation. "No, you don't have a cocaine problem. You just need a little pick-me-up in the afternoon. There's nothing wrong with that."
Back when my life was a total train wreck, this was the type of advice I'd get from everyone I knew, and they would have continued giving me that sort of feedback right up until my funeral after an overdose. That's why this kind of advice is so dangerous -- you want to hang out with those people because it feels good. Everyone loves praise, and if you had the choice of being around people who pat you on the back versus people who criticize you for your failures, that ain't no choice at all, brotha. But without those criticisms and honest feedback, you will never grow, because you've planted yourself in soil that's warm and firm but has no nutrients.
"I've never heard such brilliance in my life! Now, about that promotion you mentioned last week ..."
Their advice and your reception of it is self-serving on each of your parts. Make no mistake, your benefit is the furthest thing from their minds. And the same can be said for ...
#3. Faceless Crowds
They Say Things Like:
"You mentioned in your poverty article that you had a clothes dryer. How can you say you're poor if you owned a dryer? What you should do instead is use a clothes rack." (That's actual advice I received, by the way.)
"Thanks for adding me to your Facebook! Looking over your posts, it looks like you're going through some ass-kicking depression. What's your name and address, and I'll send you a few of my Paxil. They really help!"
"Well, normally, I'd run this by a doctor, but you sound really nice."
Why It's a Bad Source:
Many of you will recognize this in the form of comments sections, but it comes in other flavors, like a person with tons of Facebook contacts or whose social interactions are primarily on a message board. I'm going to specifically talk about comments sections because it's something I get asked a lot.
No, I don't read them, and neither do many other successful writers I know. The reason is probably simpler than you think. Obviously, if someone liked the article, they're going to tell you that you did a great job and to keep it up. Then maybe show you their boobs in appreciation. So if you look past those comments (and nipples), any actual technical feedback comes in a negative fashion, and those are just wasted words.
I'm a weekly, paid, contracted writer for the site, which is why I have the title "columnist" instead of "contributor." That means that just like any job, I have a boss to report to -- a team of editors who greenlight my article or send it back for revisions or a total rewrite. Their feedback means something because 1) they pay me and 2) I know their accomplishments in this industry. They've proven to me that they know how to describe testicles in a way that pulls in readers, and because of that, their feedback has value to me as a writer and an employee. I or anyone else can see the immediate benefits of following that advice by simply watching the hit counter at the top of the page.
The same can't be said of MeatSlap187. If you whittle out the commenters who are just flat out bitching for the sake of making noise, the leftover people who are offering genuine advice are doing so in a manner that (as David Wong once described it) makes it sound like they're giving a job evaluation. And the only people who are qualified to do that in any meaningful manner are the people who actually control my employment, the people who have experience in writing on a professional level.
"Dude, just post the article and go away. We're sure it'll be fine."
It's a matter of considering the source of the advice. If I had two identical emails telling me I'm a lazy, douchebag hack -- one from the editor-in-chief, and the other from a random reader -- the email from the editor would be the only one that would mean something to me. It's not that I'm being a dick to the random reader. It's that it's physically impossible to respect and value the opinion of someone you've never met. You don't know if they have an agenda. Or if they were in a bad mood. Or if they have experience in the subject or in the actual field of writing. Or if they simply misunderstood something you wrote. Or, for that matter, if they even read something you wrote.
A reader messaged me a short while ago, absolutely livid over an article I wrote on the Occupy Wall Street generation. Just this enormous wall of text, ranting about how I didn't know what the hell I was talking about and (the old go-to insult for anyone who likes to bitch) how I should "do my research." The only reason I didn't close and delete it is because I noticed that every point he was making was the exact point I made in the article. When I told him that, he actually apologized, explaining that he had only read the intro and then immediately skipped down to the comments section instead of reading the actual article. Everything he knew about the piece was taken from people who didn't understand the article in the first place. People who, just like him, were complaining about things that they actually agreed with.
"You son of a bitch! How dare you write something that I also believe!"
Sadly, that's more common than I'd care to admit.

Scaife's 30 Points Lead MBB Over Western Michigan
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Jauwan Scaife's career-high 30 points helped the Ball State men's basketball team to a 65-62 victory over Mid-American Conference West Division leader Western Michigan Saturday evening at Worthen Arena.
Marcus Posley scored 15 points and Matt Kamieniecki added 10 as Ball State snapped Western Michigan's seven-game winning streak.
The Cardinals improved to 9-13 on the season and 3-7 in MAC play with the win, while the Broncos fell to 15-8 on the year and 7-3 in league action.
"I thought our energy was terrific today, right off the bat," Ball State coach Billy Taylor said. "For us, the last two days of practice were probably our best two days of practice this season and certainly our best practices on consecutive days.
"We were focused and dialed in on taking care of the basketball and playing together. I had a good feeling we would come out and play well. I'm proud of our guys for making enough big plays down the stretch to be able to win."
Scaife's career high entering the night was 24. He managed that in the second half alone Saturday. The senior guard from Muncie knocked down 7 of 11 shots and 7 of 8 free throws after the break, scoring 24 of Ball State's 37 points in the second half.
Scaife even threw down a monster dunk through two Western Michigan defenders early in the second half to electrify the crowd and keep the momentum on the Cardinals' side.
He teamed with Posley in the backcourt to score 45 of the Cardinals' 65 points on the night as Ball State played without Jesse Berry, its second-leading scorer on the season, because of injury. Posley made his first career start in Berry's absence.
Western Michigan whittled away an eight-point Ball State lead midway through the second half to tie the score at 54-54 on two David Brown free throws with 3:43 to play. Scaife answered with two free throws on the other end, and the Cardinals managed to hang on to a slim lead the rest of the way.
The Broncos had the ball down 58-57 and looking to take the lead with two minutes left when Kamieniecki stepped in to take a charge in the lane. A Scaife 3-pointer extended the lead to four and then Kamieniecki drew another charge on the next possession.
Western Michigan managed to pull within one point again at 63-62 on an Austin Richie 3-pointer with 8.3 seconds to play. But the Broncos had to foul, Scaife knocked down both free throws, and the Cardinals held on for the win.
Darius Paul led Western Michigan with a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds. Brown also scored 13 points, while Nate Hutcheson added 12 for the Broncos.
The Cardinals shot 51.1 percent from the field (23-of-45), while the Broncos managed a 43.8 field goal percentage (21-of-48). Ball State, which turned the ball over only 12 times, scored 23 points off Western Michigan's 20 turnovers.
The turnover differential and good shooting numbers made up for Ball State being out-rebounded (37-25) for just the second time in MAC play.
Ball State is back in action Wednesday when it travels to Northern Illinois for a 7 p.m. CT (8 p.m. ET matchup.

HANOI, 13 December 2011 - The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Ministry of Industry and Trade today launched the 2011 Viet Nam Industrial Competitiveness Report.
The report will contribute to the existing policy debate in Viet Nam by providing a conceptual framework for understanding the drivers of industrial competitiveness, positioning Vietnamese industries in the international context, identifying industrial bottlenecks that can be addressed by policy, and presenting specific recommendations for the leaders of the country.
The report makes the case that industrialization is at the core of Viet Nam's economic growth. This is in line with empirical and historical evidence which shows that a fast-growing economy needs a vibrant industrial sector. Boosting the manufacturing sector is likely to be even more important in the future if Viet Nam is to create more wealth and employment.
The report argues that structural change towards certain strategic technology intensive sectors can speed up the industrialization process, thus providing the right conditions for sustained growth.
The Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Le Duong Quang, said that "the 2011 Viet Nam Industrial Competitiveness Report will be deemed a useful document which supports policymakers in the formulation of industrial and trade policies that meet the requirements of the realities of the new stage in Viet Nam's industrial development".
He emphasized two major issues of concern highlighted in the report: the evaluation of the role of trade liberalization in recent years for economic and productive restructuring, and the need for a re-formulation of industrial policy and strategies to take account of national priorities, as well as of global threats and opportunities. The release of the report is timely as it raises important policy implications, said Le Duong Quang.
UNIDO Managing Director, Wilfried Luetkenhorst, pointed out that "industrial competitiveness is not – or at least not entirely – determined solely by a country's factor endowment. Competitive advantages can be created". He added that the report advocated this idea by arguing that Viet Nam needed to move up into technologically more sophisticated and higher value added activities.
The 2011 Viet Nam Industrial Competitiveness Report is a collaborative product between the Ministry of Industry and Trade and UNIDO in the context of the One UN funded programme "Building National Capacity in Industrial Diagnosis and Trade Competitiveness Analysis".
The report was prepared by UNIDO staff and the Industrial Competitiveness Group, an inter-ministerial working group consisting of young professionals trained by UNIDO. It also benefited from the inputs and supervision of an Advisory Board composed of high-level senior government officials and advisors.

LISBON - Columbiana County commissioners are planning to demolish the old county welfare agency building, if the price is right.
Commissioners on Wednesday voted 3-0 to seek formal bids to demolish the county annex No. 1 on Nelson Avenue that housed the county Department of Job and Family Services until the JFS relocated to the new county government services building in May.
"We're going to see how much it will cost to tear that building down," explained Commissioner Jim Hoppel. Whether they proceed will depend on the costs, which could be quit expensive, depending on how much asbestos removal is involved.
The annex building is believed to have been constructed in the 1950s, and over the years served as a home for various businesses. The JFS moved into the building in the late 1970s and remained there until this year.
The county government services building was constructed to provide a new home for the JFS because of the annex's deteriorated condition. Hoppel and Commissioner Mike Halleck said it is in even worse shape than originally believed and cannot be used in its current condition.
Halleck said some have suggested finding new tenants for the building but he believes it would take hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it into the kind of shape needed to be reoccupied, not to mention the high utility costs.
"There's not a lot of interest in keeping it as an ongoing enterprise. It's just too costly to operate," he said.
Hoppel said the only other alternative is to let the building sit empty and deteriorate. "In a period of time it could become a hazard, so, depending on the bids, we may want to tear it down," he said.
Halleck said before he thought it would cost $70,000 to $80,000 to raze the building, which is significantly cheaper than rehabilitating it. "This lot is frankly worth more than the building is worth," he said.
By razing the building, the county would be creating a vacant lot where a new structure could be constructed, Hoppel said. He pointed to the former Carl Building on South Market Street that was purchased by commissioners and later torn down, with the new county Emergency Management Agency being built on the site.
Commissioners said before if they decide to demolish the building, the funds to do so would come from some of the proceeds received for leasing county property for shale gas development.
Someone in the audience suggested commissioners consider finding a company to demolish the building in exchange for keeping the salvageable materials, and Halleck indicated he might do that. He said they are also looking at selling the building's heating system.

A letter in the May 25, 2010, Tomahawk Leader:
A public hearing May 27 2010.
Collins Billboard Company is coming back to Merrill to ask to reconstruct billboards higher and bigger. We are totally against building billboards higher and bigger on highway 51/39. Nothing destroys the scenic character of Lincoln County faster then billboard blight. Zoning ordinances have set billboards at a low height to protect open space. Billboards are a tax burden. The Wisconsin DOT advertising department has stated the permit fees to regulate billboards does not cover the cost to regulate billboards. In other words Wisconsin taxpayers have paid millions to regulate billboards and another fact when you have highway expansion taxpayers pay to remove billboards which runs into the millions. Come out and say NO to Giant billboards. We should support a Scenic Byways program to protect and preserve the visual character of Lincoln County's highways. Take pride in Lincoln County's Scenic Heritage. Along the Mississippi they have capped billboards with the help of the Great River Scenic byways program. States like Maine, Vermont, Alaska and Hawaii have banned billboards.
Please come out say NO to giant billboards. Hearing is on May 27, 10:30 a.m., Lincoln County Service Center at 801 N Sales St., Merrill, WI room 156. Directions south of Merrill High School.

ATLANTA, Ga. - The Stetson men's soccer team completed its 2012 season on Sunday with a 2-1 overtime loss at Georgia State. Junior JJ Bostic scored his first goal of the season in the defeat.
With just 41 seconds remaining in regulation, and the Hatters trailing 1-0, Bostic put one in the back of the net to tie the game and send the two teams into overtime in Stetson's season finale. Bostic received a ball on the right side and beat Panther goalkeeper Vincent Foermer to the near post. He was assisted by junior Raffaele Centofanti and senior Caleb Matthews on the play.
It marked Bostic's third career goal in his two seasons as a defender for the Hatters. Centofanti's second assist of the season was his third career helper out of the back for Stetson. Matthews, meanwhile, tallied his first career assist on the play, finishing the season in a tie for the team's third leading scorer with one goal and one assist.
Neither team was able to put anything on the scoreboard until Georgia State scored in the 81st minute of play. Alex Vivanco recorded his seventh goal of the season when he chipped a host over Stetson goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead late in the game.
After the Hatters tied the game on Bostic's heroics late in the contest, the two squads went into overtime tied 1-1. Just about midway through the first overtime period, a Stetson turnover led to Georgia State's game-winning score in the 95th minute. Michael Nwiloh tallied his first score of the season to give the Panthers the victory.
Stetson finished the 2012 season with a 3-10-2 overall record, and just missed out on the Atlantic Sun Tournament with a league mark of 2-5-1. Senior Kai Eckenrode led the squad with five goals and one assist for 11 points on the season.

A terrible, addictive drug that kills many people every day. It takes the people you love away and can make the last impression they leave you feeling depressed and unloved. People often feel that they were not "enough" to keep the addict alive. Herion is a strong drug and it speaks for it's self. When you loose someone to herion it is likely the person was gone long before they passed. Herion will scream over even the strongest and loudest personalities.

LISBON - When tragedy happens, people often look for answers and many turn to prayer.
Sunday night, members of the Columbiana community held a candlelight prayer vigil in memory of the Sandy Hook Elementary School students and educators, who died earlier this month and their families in Newtown, Conn. C
Newtown, a city with a population under 30,000, held all the funerals before Christmas for the 20 young students and six educators gunned down on Dec. 14. In Columbiana on Sunday, the name of each of them was read aloud, each followed by a full minute of silence for prayers to be offered.

Shirley Stryffler sings during a candlelight prayer vigil in front the Main Street Theater in Columbiana Sunday night.
"The words are for you and for God," said Paula Archdeacon of the First United Methodist Church of Columbiana before she began to read the names.
"Charlotte Bacon ... Daniel Barden ... Rachel Davino ... Olivia Engel ... Josephine Gay ... "
Some put an arm around their loved one's shoulders, comforting the sniffles which could be heard throughout the crowd.
"Ana M. Marquez-Greene ... Dylan Hockley ... Dawn Hochsprung ... Madeleine F. Hsu ... Catherine V. Hubbard ... "
Each person became lost in their own thoughts. Some parents may have began thinking of their own children, some of whom attended the service.
"Chase Kowalski ... Jesse Lewis ... James Mattioli ... Grace McDonnell ... Anne Marie Murphy ... "
Although probably no one in the theater personally knew a single name on the list, more prayers were offered for each of them, their families and even the entire town in mourning in Connecticut.
"Emilie Parker ... Jack Pinto ... Noah Pozner ... Caroline Previdi ... Jessica Rekos ... "
Prayers were also offered for those families with someone suffering with a mental illness. There are many afraid a loved one's illness could lead to a personal tragedy, not even one of the magnitude caused by Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"Avielle Richman ... Lauren Rousseau ... Mary Sherlach ... Victoria Soto ... Benjamin Wheeler ... Allison N. Wyatt."
With the list of names read, Pastor Chuck Hamiton of the Upper Room Fellowship reminded those in attendance to love their loved ones and provide forgiveness. He asked them to help those in the community who have never had a chance to know God and his love.
"We may not be able to go into our schools and pray," Hamilton said. "But we need to cover our schools with prayer."
A poem by an unknown author titled "Sandy Hook Elementary School" was also read aloud. It reminded the 75 or so people in attendance that the 20 small children who died that day are in heaven and there people are coming to God for answers.
At the beginning of the service, which was held by the Columbiana Christian Ministerial Association, Pastor Jan Winnale of the Columbiana Church of the Nazarene said there are too many instances of children dying by violence. He listed statistics he had found, including five children dying from child abuse each day nationwide. He suggested we remember not only the children of Sandy Hook, but also children in the local community who may be dealing with abuse or neglect.
At the end of the service two hymns were sung on the sidewalk in front of the theater. It was a cold, wintry night and the families in attendance huddled together with the candles each person held flickering in the wind.

A jewel of a color
The word has been out for a couple weeks now that Pantone has named Emerald the 2013 Color of the Year. Zac Posen, Nanette Lepore and other designers included the vibrant shade in their collections for next spring, as seen on the New York runways during the fashion previews in September.
From rings to evening gowns, emerald is a color to watch for in the coming months.
Getting greener
Emerald also is finding its way into the home. Staub-brand enameled cast iron cookware at Williams-Sonoma (www.williamssonoma.com) is available in emerald. You can expect to see more of the rich shade in dinnerware, small appliances, bedding, bath towels, decorative accessories and, of course, paint.
Keep warm, look stylish
Some women have a knack for wearing scarves – even bulky winter ones. They know how to choose colors that flatter their complexions and coats. They know how to loop, twist and tie them just so. They even know how to keep them out of their mugs of eggnog latte.
This season, cables and other thick knits are big – as are scarves with combinations of textures. You'll also find bold plaids, houndstooth checks, florals and animal prints.
All thumbs when it comes to putting one on? No-tie infinity or loop scarves are another popular option.
And finally …

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Researchers at Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center (DF/CHCC) and several collaborating institutions have linked mutations in specific genes to each of the four recognized subtypes of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor of children. Scientists say the discovery provides doctors with potential biomarkers for guiding and individualizing treatment and reveals prospective therapeutic opportunities. The study was reported online July 22 in the journal Nature in a paper called "Medulloblastoma exome sequencing uncovers subtype-specific somatic mutations".
Doctors have historically classified medulloblastoma patients as either standard or high-risk based on biopsy results, but have long suspected that what is called medulloblastoma could actually be several different diseases. Over the last two years, studies have bolstered this view by dividing medulloblastoma into four molecular subtypes based on gene expression profiles and copy number variations. Each subtype has a distinct survival rate, ranging from 20% to 90%.
"Not only do we now know how to stratify medulloblastomas genomically, we have a firm grasp of what gene mutations drive each molecular subtype," says study leader Scott Pomeroy, M.D., Ph.D., neurologist-in-chief at Boston Children's Hospital and a neuro-oncologist at DF/CHCC. "For the first time, we'll be able to classify and treat medulloblastoma based on molecular typing, providing the best therapy with the fewest long-term consequences."
In this study, Dr. Pomeroy and his team used whole-exome hybrid capture and deep sequencing technologies to read the full complement of protein-coding genes of tumors from 92 patients. Within these tumors the team discovered that somatic mutations occur at very low frequency—median of 0.35 non-silent mutations per megabase—which is one-tenth to one-hundredth of that seen in cancers of adults. Specific gene mutations clustered neatly into the four molecular subtypes, although the majority of genes (88%) were mutated only once in the entire tumor collection.
Only 12 genes were mutated in more than one tumor, illustrating medulloblastoma's genetic heterogeneity. These mutations occurred at statistically significant frequencies and included previously known mutated genes in medulloblastoma such as CTNNB1, PTCH1, MLL2, SMARCA4, and TP53.
Functionally, the mutated genes fell into two broad categories: genes like Shh and Wnt that play direct roles in molecular pathways controlling cell growth, and genes like DDX3X and GPS2 that play more of a coaching role, modulating the activity of other genes.
Taken as a whole, the study's results confirm the view of medulloblastoma as a family of tumors driven by disruptions in just a few common mechanisms. However, the underlying mutations or genomic changes can vary from tumor to tumor.
"The results reflect two emerging genetic themes seen throughout childhood tumors," Dr. Pomeroy notes. "First, very low mutation rates, much lower than those seen in adult tumors, and second, the importance of mutations in genes that regulate the function of the cell's growth pathways but that aren't direct components of those pathways."
The researchers suggest that some of the study's findings could be translated to patients relatively quickly. For instance, with the main mutations of each subtype in hand, it should soon be possible to rapidly classify individual medulloblastoma patients' tumors and tailor treatment appropriately based on each subtype's known prognosis. In addition, they note that clinical trials of Shh-blocking drugs already under investigation for other cancers could begin within the next couple of years in patients with the medulloblastoma subtype driven by Shh mutations.

Sabres rally, earn 1st win of season in SO
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Marcus Foligno scored the tying goal with 2 minutes, 1 second left in regulation and Ryan Miller stopped John Tavares in the final round in the shootout to give the Buffalo Sabres their first win of the season, 4-3 over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
The Sabres were on the verge of their eighth straight loss, which would've set the club's futility mark to start a season, before Foligno rescued them.
Thomas Vanek and Tyler Ennis also scored in the shootout. Miller allowed a goal to Matt Moulson in the first round, but denied Frans Nielsen and Tavares to win it.
Buffalo erased three one-goal deficits to finally end its slide. The last came after Tyler Myers kept the puck in the New York zone and got it to Foligno for a screened shot past Evgeni Nabokov.
Moulson had deflected in Tavares' shot during a power play with 11:16 remaining in the third to put the Islanders ahead 3-2.

GASPORT – A hunter apparently missed the target on Sunday afternoon and shot a Seaman Road house.
A couple living in the residence told Niagara County sheriff's deputies they heard what sounded like a light bulb exploding inside the front foyer of their house.
A further examination found that a shotgun shell, likely used by a hunter in the area, had gone through an outside wall and continued inside, hitting an inside wall near a coat closet. Damage was listed at $500.
Deputies said the slug entered about 2 feet east of the entrance at the home in the 8800 block of Seaman Road at 2:24 p.m. Sunday. Homeowners Dorie and Robert Walsh reported seeing someone driving a yellow Mazda hunting in the area in the past, but deputies and Middleport Police searched the area and no suspects were found.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation and the sheriff's department are investigating.

Very Nice Ride
by Jaguar 4.0 straight 6, used car owner from California | May 4, 2011
My 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas 4.0 Straight six, is one car once I drove I started thinking all of the rest of the cars I have owned were worthless. I can write about all the great things I am still discovering like the radio has a CB channel 19 setting or the back seat has jet airplane trays. However I feared that the XJ6 would cost mega bucks to drive, the car is huge and the engine could pull a house. The onboard computer is rating the mileage traveling 70 miles per hour at 31 miles per gallon, that was a nice surprise. This car is a keeper...

The car has only 95000miles. It has a new set of goodyear tires on it. It is in excellent conditions. The car gets 27 miles/gallon using the middle grade gas(89 octane). When I bought the car it had only 76000 miles. It is one of the best automobiles I have ever own. The leather seats are tan in color. I have recondition the leather inside the car twice it is beautiful. It has an excellent sound system in it with 6 speakers, two in the front doors, two in the back doors, and two under the back seat. Every thing about the car works. It has a roof top that slides back. It has its on computer system on it that means if you have a problem with the car you press VCR button and it will tell you what is wrong the car. Thanks

LOS ANGELES — Watching as a beloved dog is swept out to sea is heart-wrenching. Doing nothing seems unthinkable. But experts say that is exactly what a dog owner should do: nothing.
"The human-animal bond is no joke. Most pet owners are very attached to their pets," said Dr. Lynn Miller, a veterinarian who runs the animal clinic at Travis Air Force Base, north of San Francisco. "But you're not going to save your dog by risking your own life. It does your dog no favors in the end if he comes back and you're dead. Then what is he going to do?"
Five people have died in attempted dog rescues in Northern California since November, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Pamela Boehland, based in Alameda, Calif. A couple of months ago, Boehland teamed up with the National Park Service and the East Bay SPCA on a campaign to keep people on dry land if their dogs get caught up in the surf.
The average dog is a better swimmer than the average human. Dogs such as Labrador retrievers, German shepherds and pit bull terriers are built like boats, the vet said. Their heads are above water, they have a low center of gravity, they have four legs for propulsion, their lungs have a higher capacity than a human's, their fur keeps them warm in cold water and some dog breeds have webbed feet.
Dogs can find their way back to shore using currents and their fight-or flight-instinct, Miller said, adding that dogs are single-minded, focusing on finding safety, while humans panic or become distracted. Owners who try to make a rescue also may go into shock from the cold water, try to fight the current and get tumbled around, or tire easily, she said.
People also don't think about what will happen if they do follow a dog and manage to reach it alive, Miller said.
Currents might cause a dog to come out of the water some distance from the spot where it went into the sea, so a microchip and collar with identification can speed up a reunion, said Allison Lindquist, president of the East Bay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Some breeds, Miller said, shouldn't be on a beach without a life vest. Those include pugs, bulldogs and others that "can barely breathe when they are walking;" dachshunds and corgis with legs too short to swim; and Chihuahuas and other toy dogs, Boehland said.
It is rare that a dog will be swept away by a rip current, but lifeguards' message to pet owners is the same as Boehland's, Murphy said.
"They should let a lifeguard know and if we have personnel available, we will attempt a rescue. Upon reaching the dogs, they are usually more than happy to climb aboard our rescue board or Baywatch rescue boat," he said.

Will Jennifer Lawrence walk the red carpet at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards?
The Silver Linings Playbook star, who's nominated for her leading role playing troubled girl-next-door Tiffany, is currently sick with pneumonia, according to her costar. But sources tell PEOPLE that Lawrence is planning to attend the SAG Awards unless she takes a turn for the worse before showtime.
"She's been very sick," says one source. "She was laying low all week. She plans to be there tonight."
The actress, 22, was unable to attend Saturday's Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts International Awards in Los Angeles, where she was honored for her work in the film.
"I'm going to receive this on her behalf," Jacki Weaver told the audience as she accepted Lawrence's best lead actress trophy, according to E! News. "Poor Jen is really sick. She really is sick. She has pneumonia."
After nabbing a Golden Globe earlier this month, the actress is a favorite to pick up the SAG Award.
The 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awardswill air live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Each morning seems to be a bit chillier than the day before. That fact has not escaped the watchful eye of those in charge at the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
Last week, those at the District 8 Office in Elkins began to make sure they are ready for old man winter.
At the Airport Road location in Elkins, all vehicles and equipment parts were checked to make sure everything was in tip-top working order. Employees gathered for safety trainings and controls on the spreaders were calibrated to assure the proper mixture of salt and cinders was being compiled. Then, drivers were sent out on dry runs, to check the times and routes they will use when the snow begins to fly. When they are completed checking equipment there, they move to the Mill Creek location to check the equipment for the southern part of the county.

West Virginia Department of Transportation workers test the calibration on salt trucks last week in Elkins. Pictured is Johnny Wamsley, a mechanic for the Department of Transportation Region 8.
Mike Moran, District 8 Engineer for the Department of Transportation said the checks are important.
"We check each piece of the snow fighting equipment to make sure everything is working," Moran said. "We do a report on each piece, and file a work order on anything that needs repaired, so the work is completed before it snows."
Moran said there is also a check on the materials.
"We are making sure stockpiles are adequate - we need abrasives and salt - making sure everything is ready when the first snowstorm hits," Moran said. "We try to do this each year in the middle of October. Typically, from the end of October on, we can get a snowstorm, so we try to be prepared. This makes sure we are at 100 percent capacity for snow fighting."
Moran said District 8 serves Randolph, Tucker, Pendleton and Pocahontas Counties. He said he was pleased with the newer equipment the district has right now.
"We have 17 single and tandem axil dump trucks with snow plows in Randolph County," Moran said. "We have five graders in the county and snow blowers if needed. We also have end loaders to load the salt-cinder mixture into the trucks."
Randolph county crews cover more than 800 miles of roads, and Moran said there is a priority system set up for clearing that large number of roads.
"We have around two operators for each piece of equipment in Randolph County," Moran said. "But when we have snowstorms back to back, it tends to wear the operators out. The primary routes include U.S. 33, U.S. 219 and Corridor H are the highest priority to clear. We concentrate on clearing them first. Then, basically, school bus routes are our next priority. The lower priority routes come next. Once we get the first priority roads clear, we move to the next, then the next. Sometimes, in some winters, we do not get the first priority cleared, and have to go back where we started."
Moran said the salt-cinder mix used on roads is based on the length of the snow and its potential duration.
"Typically we use a mixture of three parts cinders to one part salt," Moran said. "Sometimes if there is just a small amount of snow, we will use mostly salt so it melts off the road surface."
Salt to fill up the Department of Highways sheds is ordered in spring according to Moran.
"We fill our sheds so we are prepared," Moran said. "A few years, there was a salt shortage which prompted us to keep our sheds filled early."
Moran said last week's dry run helps set up schedules and routes.
"We go over the priorities and set up the routes," Moran said. "It gives us times so we can assign drivers to trucks and develop work schedules."
When the forecast is calling for snow, Moran said the trucks head out to pretreat some roads, and some hard-to-access areas in the mountains have trucks pre-positioned in anticipation of the snowy weather.
Moran said predictions for this winter have been all over the board.
"We have heard we are going to have a light winter, we have heard we are going to have a terrible winter," Moran said. "We are prepared for the worse and hoping for the best."
When the snow starts to cover the roads, Moran said motorists should use caution.
"Everyone needs to take precautions when it is snowing," Moran said. "Seems like people need to slow down, have good equipment and good tires. The first couple of snowstorms each year, it seems like people are relearning how to drive in the wintry conditions.
"When our crews are out working on the roads, please stay back and be patient," Moran said. "Don't follow the trucks too closely and if you have to pass our equipment, pass with caution. Our drivers will try to accommodate other traffic when it is possible."
Moran said there is a road condition website to help aid travelers.
"The website is WV511.org," Moran said. "You can also get an application for your mobile phone that will give you road conditions in your area.
"The website was just introduced last year. It provides good resources for road conditions, accidents and road construction."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Truckee Hometown Sears and the Sierra Sun and North Lake Tahoe Bonanza announce the 2nd annual Truckee Hometown Sears-Sierra Sun Teacher of the Year award program. The program recognizes area teachers, spotlighting them in the Sierra Sun and Bonanza and naming one teacher "Teacher of the Year." Parents, students and community members are encouraged to submit teacher nominations starting today.
This year, Truckee Hometown Sears and the Sierra Sun/Bonanza will partner with Plumas Bank to continue honoring local teachers. Plumas Bank, with locations in both Truckee and North Lake Tahoe, strives to be involved in the local community.
"Community and education are top priorities at Plumas Bank and we are taking this opportunity to let our teachers and our local communities know how much we appreciate all they do for our children," said Plumas VP/Office Manager Shelly Wright.
Last year, the Teacher of the Year selection committee received numerous nominations praising teachers from across the Tahoe/Truckee area. The selection committee is looking for nominees who excite students about learning, collaborate with community members and inspire those around them. This year the program has expanded to include public schools in Incline Village.
"The Truckee Hometown Sears-Sierra Sun Teacher of the Year program was created to recognize teachers in the entire North Lake Tahoe area," said Charlie Riley, Truckee Hometown Sears owner. "We hope to receive even more nominations this year and spotlight teachers from all area schools, including the three schools in Incline Village."
Last year, teacher finalists were nominated from Glenshire Elementary School, Truckee Elementary School, Donner Trail Elementary School, Alder Creek Middle School, North Tahoe School, and Truckee High School. Teachers Joanne Haddy, Lisa Furr, Katie Jamison, Michelle Reed, Amalia Niewendorp, Neysa Williams and Diane Laroche were spotlighted in the Sierra Sun.
The selection committee named Lisa Furr winner of the Truckee Hometown Sears-Sierra Sun Teacher of the Year last June. Furr was recognized for her work with the Truckee Special Education Transition program. Furr's work with students with special needs focuses on life skills as well as academic content. Nominators praised her commitment to students and ability to collaborate with community members to create an excellent program.
To participate in the Teacher of the Year program, nominators may email nominations to email@example.com, drop off nominations at Truckee Hometown Sears, 12047 Donner Pass Road, or drop off nominations at a local Plumas Bank.
Nominations should include the teacher's name and school and the nominator's relationship to the teacher (parent, student, community member). The selection committee encourages nominators to include details and examples describing why their teacher should be selected Teacher of the Year. There is no limit on the number of nominations an individual may submit.

The Stetson men's soccer team (1-3-0) enjoyed a nice homecoming after starting the season with three difficult road matches. The Hatters defeated Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville (0-5-0) by a score of 2-0 in their first home tilt of the season, and the first for the men's soccer program at the brand new Stetson Athletics Training Center.
Stetson controlled the match from whistle to whistle, as it seemed the Hatters couldn't wait to show the home crowd what it had in store for the 2012 campaign. The team controlled the possession, and kept the ball in Jacksonville territory for the majority of the first frame.
Unlike in its first three contests, when the Hatters failed to put one in the back of the net, Stetson got on the board fairly early on Friday night, scoring in the 20th minute of play. In one of many aggressive attacks by the Hatters early on, three Stetson players made attempts at goal before senior Kai Eckenrode finally put it away.
Junior Evan Jimmo made the first shot attempt, but it was deflected. Senior Joakim Helland's attempt was blocked yet again, but this time it rebounded out far enough that Eckenrode was able to get a foot on it, and slide it past Jacksonville goalkeeper Gavin Carlin.
The Hatters' 8-2 shot advantage in the first frame was only evened out by the Dolphins' three corner kick opportunities. Stetson failed to record a single corner in the half, but remained on top 1-0 heading into the break.
After a couple of early chances for the Dolphins to start the second half, Stetson took control again, finishing with a total of 15 shots in the game, to Jacksonville's six. One of the Hatters's seven second half opportunities gave them a healthy 2-0 advantage, as Stetson found the back of the net yet again.
Speedy senior Jonathan Mendoza received a pass and carried it towards the Jacksonville end line. He played a perfect pass to junior Stevie Saballos, who then fed senior Luis Ocejo for a one-touch shot straight past Carlin. The goal, which came less than five minutes into the second half, gave Stetson a lead it held onto tightly for the rest of the contest.
Continuing to keep possession for the final 40 minutes, Stetson kept the pressure on as much as it could without playing too aggressively. The final result was a 2-0 victory, improving the Hatters to 1-3-0 on the season.
The shutout was the first for Stetson since October 28 of 2011, when the Hatters defeated North Florida 2-0. It marked the 11 career shutout for junior Andreas Schnabl, who came up with three big saves in the win. His 11th in less than three seasons in DeLand tied him with Ed Funcheon for the most in a career at Stetson.
Stetson will now take a weekend off from competition, and return to the pitch on Saturday, September 22. The Hatters will host Florida International at 6:00 p.m. at the Athletics Training Center.
