In the 15 years since Jeff Bridges debuted as "the Dude," a slacker who drinks White Russians and goes bowling when things get tough, the movie "The Big Lebowski" has taken hold as a cult favorite.
As the Dude likes to say, "The Big Lebowski" continues to "abide."
That is especially true in North Tonawanda.
This evening at 6:30, the Riviera Theatre will host its fifth annual "Lebowski Event," which begins with a cocktail hour that in the past has attracted more than 700 people who have consumed 45 gallons of the milk-and-Kahlua cocktails.
Then, after viewing the 1998 Coen Brothers film, many fans continue to wear their Lebowski-style bathrobes and go bowling afterwards.
The increasing popularity of the happening, which costs $13 a ticket, has been a surprise to Frank Cannata, who was reluctant when his son and friends first proposed it soon after he took the job directing the restored Riviera six years ago.
"Of course, on Monday I got a lot of 'I told you so's' from my son and my friends," said Cannata. "I've learned to appreciate the humor of the movie."
Cannata likes watching the way the actors in the movie play off each other as the comedy unfolds about laid-back Jeffrey "the Dude" Lebowski, who enlists help from a high-strung bowling buddy – played by John Goodman – after thugs mistake him for a millionaire, who is also named Lebowski.
Cannata says the crowd is another highlight. Fans come from as far as Jamestown and Rochester, and in elaborate costumes.
They wear bowling shoes and Viking hats and bring urns to imitate the scene in the movie where tossing a dead friend's ashes into the sea goes awry, and the wind blows them into the Dude's face.
"Every year, we just find more and more people picking up on small details," he said. "They keep their costumes on when they go bowling."
The movie is a natural fit for the Tonawandas, said Doug Heim, owner of the National Bowling Store on Oliver Street, which donates a commemorative custom Big Lebowski bowling ball. Etched with movie-related quotes like "The Dude abides," it is raffled off as a fundraiser for the nonprofit theater.
"Man, everybody here bowls," Heim said. "You have doctors and lawyers that bowl. Anybody from a trash collector to a brain surgeon, and it's not inconceivable to have them both in the store at the same time."
While his own slacker days have slipped into the past, Heim can still relate to the Dude's habit of going bowling when he's stressed.
"That's the answer to all the problems that they're dealing with," Heim said. "Many times, I would do that if I was frustrated with things at work, at home ... I would just go bowling and take it out on the pins."
The Rev. Ethan Cole, an Episcopal priest in Williamsville, thinks the movie's continued popularity and relevance come from how the Dude doesn't try to control things after he encounters problems, such as the bungled drop-off of ransom money for the millionaire's "kidnapped" wife.
"Things happen to him, and he still makes a good life for himself," said Cole, a friend of Cannata who lobbied for the Lebowski event.
"He's following his core values, and his life unfolds in front of him," Cole said. "He has a kind of peace with it, no matter what. That is a kind of lesson: to take life on life's terms and to roll with it."
For Bernie Glassman, a Zen teacher, the movie helps interpret Buddhism.
He and Bridges, one of his students, collaborated to write "The Dude and the Zen Master" as a way to simply explain their philosophy.
"The Dude is not attached to the Dude, he's totally open," said Glassman. "The answering machine just receives whatever people say into it. Abiding nowhere means not having any attachments. 'The Dude abides' is a short statement of just being open to the universe."
When Matt Nolan's father finally watched the movie after a few years of badgering, he broke the news by waking Nolan up at 7 on a Saturday morning with a text that said, "The Dude abides."
"At that point, I couldn't be upset," said Nolan, 28, who has gone to the party at the Riviera with friends for the last three years.
He likes the movie for its subtle jokes.
"The more times you watch it," he said, "the more times you pick up the little things about it [that] just make it so great."
To him, one of the funniest parts is the when bowler named Jesus does a little dance to the Gipsy Kings' Spanish version of the Eagles song "Hotel California" after he bowls a strike.
"You can miss it if you're not even thinking about it," he said.
He likes going to the Riviera with about six friends for the simple, unusual fun of drinking White Russians, watching the movie as people in the audience hoot and holler, and then going bowling.
"Basically, it's just connecting with a bunch of random strangers over the love of the same movie," he said, "which is kind of cool."
This year, for the first time, Nolan's dad is coming along. Helping his father get the complete Big Lebowski party experience has Nolan feeling excited and, perhaps, a little Dude-like.
"It was kind of random," he said, "but it's a good thing."

Aberrant expression of microRNA (miRNA) in human cancers is a common phenomenon. miRNAs regulate many tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, therefore acting as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes themselves to directly regulate cancer cell survival and proliferation.
In tumor cells, inhibiting miRNAs that are overexpressed, and restoring intracellular levels of those that are lost or otherwise underexpressed, are attractive approaches for cancer treatment. Additionally, the role miRNAs play in modulating cancer cell response to chemotherapeutic agents suggests that they may be a target for improving drug response in cancer therapy.
These naturally occurring 19–23 nucleotide long, single-stranded noncoding RNAs, which regulate gene expression largely by decreasing levels of target messenger RNAs, were highlighted at the recent Select Biosciences "Genomics Research" conference.
"As we start to look at the full genomic pattern of a tumor tissue as opposed to a normal tissue we see lots of changes over the course of tumor development. miRNA likely has hundreds of targets in the cell. The goal is to identify specific mutations and pair those with drugs that inhibit or activate pathways," explained Anthony Saleh, Ph.D., IRTA scientist, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at NIH.
To determine the targets, researchers use genomic, transcriptomic, or proteomic approaches. The difficulty with omics-type experiments is the scope. Myriad miRNAs are overexpressed in cancer, although most are not very highly overexpressed. Targets are painstakingly narrowed down by expression level, consistent expression levels across samples, and biological function.
"We study miRNA expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) lines grown from patients' tumors and have identified a number of overexpressed miRNAs that are potentially oncogenic, in particular the miR-30 family," continued Dr. Saleh.
"Other studies showed NF-kappaB was activating expression. NF-kappaB is, in general, an oncogene, promoting tumor formation. We also identified TP53 and Notch1, which are important tumor suppressors for HNSCC, as miR-30 targets. So in HNSCC miR-30 is being stimulated by an oncogene and suppressing two important tumor suppressor pathways."
TP53, the most common tumor suppressor pathway, primarily functions to direct cell fate decisions. In 90% of HNSCC cases, TP53 is nonfunctional, deleted, or mutated.
Notch1 has different roles in different cancers and highlights the difficulty in studying cancer. In HNSCC it is a tumor cell suppressor. In other cancers it is an oncogene.
"Now we are determining if miR-30 might be a potential target for sensitizing tumors. If we decrease the levels of miR-30 through inhibitors, we may be able to slow down the cancer growth and, perhaps, kill it in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs or radiation," concluded Dr. Saleh.
"If you consider the critical role of miRNAs in cancer coupled with their unique mechanism of action, it is clear that miRNAs represent a new class of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools," commented Alexander Pertsemlidis, Ph.D., assistant professor, Greehey Children's Cancer Research Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
"The idea of screening libraries of miRNA mimics, which increase intracellular levels of miRNAs, and inhibitors, which decrease those levels, has been around for a while, but is represented more in the patent literature than in the biomedical literature. We use high-throughput screening (HTS) to identify miRNA mimics and inhibitors that specifically sensitize cancer cells to widely used anticancer drugs."
For example, miR-337-3p appears to be lost in lung cancer cells, with replacement selectively sensitizing cells to paclitaxel by enhancing taxane-induced G2/M arrest through downregulation of its targets. Increasing levels of miR-337-3p may provide a novel therapeutic tool for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer in conjunction with taxanes.
Conversely, miR-139-5p is present at aberrantly high levels in neuroendocrine lung cancer cells, and when removed with an inhibitor, selectively decreases tumor cell viability. Inhibiting miR-139-5p may therefore be a tool for treating neuroendocrine lung tumors.
Dr. Pertsemlidis' investigations contribute to the understanding of miRNA roles in, and beyond, lung cancer pathogenesis. A number of miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in several different cancer types. Mimics or inhibitors that are selectively cytotoxic in lung cancer may also have therapeutic applications in breast cancer, and miRNA targets important to disease progression in neuroendocrine lung cancers may also play critical roles in other neuroendocrine cancers, such as neuroblastoma.
Cellecta designs and constructs pooled libraries expressing short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) and performs genetic screens using these libraries to identify genes required for any cellular response with a strong selectable phenotype, such as genes required for growth and proliferation of cancer cells.
shRNA consists of a sense strand, short loop sequence, and antisense strand that, when expressed in cells, interferes with gene expression similar to synthetic siRNA. In addition to single shRNA screening, Cellecta has developed an approach to combinatorially screen shRNA pairs to discover synthetically lethal and synergistically lethal gene combinations.
The company's shRNA libraries for pooled screening have optimized structures to increase stability, protocols for uniform en masse cloning of large heterogeneous pools of shRNA sequences into the lentiviral library vector, and specially designed shRNA-specific barcode sequences incorporated for HT sequencing to enable accurate assessment of the libraries' shRNAs.
"It is not trivial to create a complex yet representative library that expresses multiple shRNAs to different targets, with each construct containing a unique sequenceable barcode that identifies the specific shRNA it contains," commented Alex Chenchik, Ph.D., president and CSO.
With grant funding from the NIH National Center for Research Resources and National Human Genome Institute, Cellecta established The Decipher Project to help standardize the process of RNAi-based screens. "Cellecta's goal with Decipher is to provide researchers investigating disease progression, cell-signaling pathways, or genes involved in a range of biological processes, the basic tools to conduct genome-scale genetic screens," said Dr. Chenchik.
Through Decipher, Cellecta offers academic labs no-cost access to three plasmid human shRNA libraries that target 15,000 genes, and two for mouse that target 10,000 genes. In exchange, researchers agree to publicly share all genetic screen data generated after publication. In the last year, over 100 researchers accessed the Decipher libraries, according to Dr. Chenchik.

Package-handling conveyors are a broad classification of materials handling equipment sometimes referred to as "unit-handling conveyors" or "on-floor conveyors." They may be described as equipment for conveying a definable shape such as a carton, pallet, or casting. The load is usually placed directly on the conveyor, which is why the relationship between the load and the conveying surface is very important.
In this section, a basic understanding of the types of package-handling conveyors is covered, including how to select the proper type of conveyor, how to apply the conveyor, and how to maintain the conveyor. Emphasis is given to the information necessary to make these evaluations and to the information that is critical to success.

MARTINSBURG - Patricia Greenley grew up in a household in which her parents were married for more than 50 years. She has a college education and a good job. Greenley is a confident woman.
"Looking at me, you would never know that behind closed doors I was being abused," Greenley said.
Mary, a licensed clinical social worker, said there are misconceptions about the women who become involved in abusive relationships. Some might think economic status and education is the cause, but Mary said there really is not a specific type of woman who experiences domestic violence.
Abusers, on the other hand, have a specific personality, Mary said. She asked that her last name not be used due to the sensitive nature of her work.
"Most people think of domestic violence as physical abuse," Mary said. "But, generally, there is almost always a controlling, manipulative personality that goes with that."
Greenley commutes 90 minutes to and from work during the week. Throughout the course of her nine-year marriage, her abuser expected a phone call each evening that would last the length of her drive home.
"When I got in the car, if I didn't call soon enough, my phone would ring almost instantly," Greenley said. "He wanted to ensure that I wouldn't talk with anybody else."
While these nightly phone calls became their routine, Greenley said they did not feel routine.
"I knew what the purpose of the phone call was," she said.
Domestic violence is about control, rather than being a kind of relationship issue, Mary said. There are a number of red flags associated with abusive relationships, such as a lack of boundaries, extreme jealousy and isolation from family and friends.
While abuse might reach extreme levels, most relationships do not begin abusive, Mary said.
"As time goes on, the changes will happen," Mary said.
Greenley said her partner showed signs of abuse even before they were married, but they were subtle.
"It started with just subtle words, subtle hints, those things that I should have picked up on," Greenley said.
Over time, the relationship became more volatile.
"It was just turmoil. It was just like being on a roller coaster ride," Greenley said.
It can be difficult for women to leave abusive relationships, Mary said. A number of factors contribute to why women do not. Leaving the relationship can increase a woman's risk of getting hurt or killed.
"When a woman leaves an abusive relationship it is probably the most risky time, (the) most dangerous time," Mary said.
Greenley left her abuser four different times. The largest reason why she stayed was because she wanted her marriage to work, Greenley said.
"There were no other factors that really kept me besides wanting a healthy marriage, a good marriage," Greenley said. "That was my hope."
Fear and isolation are also reasons why women might not leave the relation or why it may take them multiple attempts, Mary said.
"There are some people that just have no regard for (protective orders)," Mary said. "It can be very scary for women to leave when you get an order and you don't know if they're going to abide by it."
When a woman is isolated in the relationship, they often feel as if they have no one to turn to, Mary said.
"(Women) don't have anybody to talk to or tell them that it's not their fault," Mary said. "They're only listening to the person they're living with or in the relationship with."
Finding her strength was what allowed Greenley to leave her marriage for good.
"Those things that he was saying to me, I started realizing within myself, 'No. That's not who I am. And your thoughts about me don't have to be my thoughts about me,'" she said.
Education is key in the effort to prevent domestic violence, Mary said. Learning what is a healthy relationship and becoming aware of the signs of abuse are an important component of that education.
"It's very important to teach (people) about equality and respect," Mary said. "I think when people understand (the red flags) and they get to recognize it, they can steer clear of it."
Five years later, Greenley continues to heal from the nearly 10 years of abuse she endured. She is in a new marriage, which she says is healthy and happy. Greenley has also started an anti-domestic violence advocacy group in the Eastern Panhandle.
Voices Against Domestic Violence advocates for healthy families and relationships, Greenley said. The organization also provides support and encouragement for women who are currently in abusive relationships.
Organizing the group has been integral to her healing process, Greenley said.
"An effort to reach out to help someone else definitely plays a part of healing the things that I've been through," Greenley said.

DELAND, Fla. – Despite two goals apiece from Danielle Horgan and Lindsay Summers, the Stetson University lacrosse team succumbed to a hot Elon Phoenix team, 18-6, Friday afternoon at the Athletic Training Center.
The Phoenix reeled off 11 goals in the first half and seven in the second to stay undefeated (4-0) in A-Sun play, while the Hatters scored three in each half for their six during their first ever meeting with Elon.
Stetson jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead a half a minute in the contest, with an unassisted goal by Horgan, but then Elon scored twice in a 90 second span, to take a 2-1 lead. The Hatters tied things up just 45 seconds following the Phoenix's second score, off of Summers' stick and it was 2-2 with 23 minutes remaining in the half.
Unfortunately, that is as close it would get for Stetson as Elon proceeded to put another nine goals in the SU net before the whistle sounded on the first half. The Hatters mustered just one more goal during the contests' first 30 minutes, making it 11-3, heading into the locker room.
It was much of the same story in the second half as Elon came out firing, scoring the second half's first three goals to go up 14-3, before Mary Kate O'Sullivan added a goal off of a free position shot for the Hatters fourth goal of the afternoon.
Stetson scores No. 5 and 6 came sandwiched in between an Elon goal, with about 10 minutes remaining. Assisted by Maylis Broderick, Christina Loya put the ball past Phoenix goalie Rachel Ramirez for her team leading 18th goal of the year. Then, just four minutes later Loya assisted Summers for her second and final score of the afternoon. Elon tacked on a final score in the waning minutes of the second half to cap off the 12 point victory.
In the loss goal keeper Caili Guilday made nine saves to push her nation leading total to 188. The Hatters made 11 total saves to the Phoenix's eight as back up keeper Whitney Meyers made a pair of stops. Ground balls were close as Elon picked up four to Stetson's 10 and the same goes for draw controls as Stetson won 11, while Elon took 15.
Individually, Horgan had the most points with her two goals and one assists for a grand total of three. Loya took the most shots with three, while Guilday and Amanda Parker scooped up the most ground balls with two apiece. Summers was tops in draw controls for Stetson, Friday with her four.
With the loss, Stetson moved to 1-15 on the year and 1-3 in the A-Sun but still have a very good chance at clinching a spot in the A-Sun Tournament, scheduled for May 2-4th in Jacksonville. All the Hatters have to do to clinch a No. 3 seed in the tournament is beat Howard on Sunday and then hope for a Detroit loss to Kennesaw State. In order to claim a No. 4 spot, Stetson has to beat Howard and then hope KSU loses to the Titans.
The Hatters take on the Bison, Sunday at 1 p.m., at the ATC in the regular season finale. Last season Stetson defeated Howard (18-13) in Washington, D.C., for its second and final conference victory. This will mark the first time the two schools have met up in the Sunshine State.
Sunday's contest is free for fans to attend and those that can't make it out to the ATC can watch on HatterVision or follow via Live Stats on gohatters.com. The @StetsonLacrosse Twitter feed and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates as well.

This year's Super Bowl was memorable in many ways.
The game itself was particularly impressive, with the San Francisco 49ers almost snatching the win away from the Baltimore Ravens thanks to the power outage, which caused the game to be suspended for more than half an hour. And then there was Beyonce, shaking up the stage with a fantastic performance that had fans groveling at her feet. People were hoping for a thrilling, great show, and the Super Bowl this year was all that and much, much more.
But what of the famed Super Bowl commercials—were they as entertaining as they were supposed to be? These 30-second spots, which cost about $4 million each, are expected to be the crème de la crème, with ad agencies known to push boundaries in their attempts to make an impression during those valuable few seconds in between the game.
To find out which of these ads worked and which failed, I talked with Avi Dan, founder of the marketing consulting firm Avidan Strategies, who is also a contributing blogger at Forbes. Dan is well-placed to judge the Super Bowl ads—after all, he has more than 30 years of experience in the advertising sector, having worked with several top global ad agencies including WPP's Berlin Cameron/Red Cell, Saatchi and Saatchi and Havas Advertising.
Dan told me that he wasn't very impressed with this year's Super Bowl ad fare. "I thought there were very few good ads," he said, "and [there were] possibly, really bad ads." According to Dan, the best ad of the night, ironically enough, didn't come from the television screen—it was instead a tweet from cookie manufacturer Oreo that Dan found most appealing.
During the power outage, Oreo tweeted: "Power Out? No Problem," adding an image of their signature cookie with the tagline: "You can still dunk in the dark." That tweet went viral, getting more than 15,000 retweets, and it also added 8,000 new followers to their Twitter account. "It was the smartest ad," Dan said. "To me, the tweet was better than their commercial."
Another brand that impressed Dan with their Super Bowl ad was Dodge Ram, who had a particularly evocative two-minute commercial that showed photographs of farmers at work with Paul Harvey's memorable "So God made a farmer" speech at the National Future Farmers of America Convention in 1978 playing in the background. "It was poetic and emotional," Dan said. "It had a very Americana feel to it."
Although Dan found Budweiser's Clydesdale ad quite heartwarming, he felt that none of the other beer commercials during the game made an impact, which was surprising when considering that beer ads during the Super Bowl are usually the best of the lot. The controversial GoDaddy ad featuring supermodel Bar Refaeli kissing a nerd was another ad that had Dan cringing. "It just didn't make any sense," Dan complained. "It was absolutely awful."
While there were a few other ads that were impressive (Tide, Samsung, Volkswagen), Dan found the majority of the Super Bowl commercials to be rather uninspiring when considering the exorbitant prices brands paid to gain those air slots. "Out of the 40 or 50 commercials that were aired, only 5-10 of them were really good commercials," Dan said. "The rest of them were, you know, not particularly good."
According to Dan, the reason for this dismal showing is the different frame of mind with which agencies and brands take when making ads for the Super Bowl. "When you work on a commercial, what's really important is whether you sell products, and that's the way you approach it. But, in case of the Super Bowl, everybody wants to make an epic movie, without thinking if it will sell products or not. And when you try to make an epic movie, a lot of times, you are going to fail!"
However, Dan is still quite hopeful about the ads that will appear in next year's Super Bowl, since agencies would have learnt a lot from the successes and debacles of this year. Thanks to Oreo's superb success on Twitter during the game, Dan expects proponents of next year's game ads to make an extra effort to use social media to augment the experience of whatever advertisement they choose to play on screen.

JAMESTOWN -- A 28-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, both from Jamestown were arrested by Jamestown police Tuesday on conspiracy and robbery charges. Their arrests bring to four the number of suspects arrested for the attack on a man near the Charlestown apartments Sunday. Malek Morley and Kyle Senear, both 18 and also of Jamestown, were already jailed on charges of assault, first-degree robbery and conspiracy in the case.
William Sloppy and Stacey Simmers were both charged Tuesday with conspiracy. Simmers was also charged with first-degree robbery. Police have not released the name of the victim, but they indicated he was struck with a bottle and stabbed in the knee during the attack.

When a female fan took one for the team
I attended the comeback game with my girlfriend (now wife), brother, future brother-in-law, and another friend. As we were tailgating, I asked my friend if his dad is getting the game on TV in Ithaca. He says, "I think so." We use my fancy new car-mounted cell phone to call him and he agrees to tape it for us. So that's awesome.
As things are going poorly, my girlfriend starts to complain. I can't bear the thought of leaving, but after Bubba McDowell's TD return I say, "OK, after the next score we can go." Needless to say, we stayed until the glorious end. My girlfriend's ordeal wasn't over, though. As she was sandwiched between a crowd of six-plus guys she wound up taking an elbow to the head in one of the many frenzied celebrations and was a little black and blue.
Good times.
Dave Russell
Father-son bond forged in the cold
I was one of the few thousand who (truthfully) stayed right through to Steve Christie's "shot heard 'round the world" in overtime.
My dad had been a long-time season-ticket holder, with seats in the 11th row on the 42-yard line on the Bills' side. We had been to dozens of games together and, while the Bills had been quite successful for several years by the time the Houston playoff game rolled around, there were of course a few notable exceptions (Louis Oliver's interception return stands out). Still, in my nearly 13 years on Earth (I turned 13 six days after the game), I had never heard my father swear during a Bills game.
Until Jan. 3, 1993. Or more specifically, until Bubba McDowell returned that Frank Reich pass 58 yards for a touchdown and a 35-3 lead.
We were in line at a concession stand, waiting for hot chocolates, when we saw the play on one of the televisions. Almost immediately after my dad let his tongue slip, I remember seeing many of the few people who had held out hope for the second half come streaming through the tunnels to join the other white flag wavers. Strangely enough, I don't think that my dad and I even considered leaving the game. We had never done it before and weren't about to start during an NFL playoff game in January (my dad and I love cold weather games).
What surely added to my father's frustration was the fact that, despite all of the games we attended together in Orchard Park, I was not a Bills fan. I loved Joe Montana and the 49ers, but I always liked Houston, too, because they threw the ball all over the field and, hey, I was 12. So can you guess what team's sweatshirt I was wearing under my snowsuit that day? Yep, the Houston Oilers. And being a 12-year-old, I would unzip my snowsuit enough just to show my dad the oil derrick on the logo every time the visiting team scored (I wasn't going to flaunt my "fandom" – I was 12, not crazy).
By the end of the afternoon, my snowsuit was zipped up to my chin and my dad had the last laugh. Most importantly, we had an experience together that we'll never forget.

Die-hards rewarded for hanging in there
I was home from Davidson College with some friends from school. We ended up getting tickets to the game and for some of the guys it was their first pro football game. We had a great Buffalo sports weekend, because we went to the Sabres' New Year's Eve game a few days before. My friends from the Carolinas thought Buffalo was the most fun place to be.
At halftime, we all had a few too many cocktails and could not find each other at the meeting place. If we had found each other I am sure we would have left. However, due to our inability to locate everyone we all returned to our seats. A few guys were in the end zone and after halftime people around them were sharing laughs and just welcoming the guys to the area. Then the comeback started and the whole crowd was hugging them and high fiving. When we caught up with those guys after the game they were ecstatic. They didn't even care how cold they were.
It's still one of the most memorable experiences I have had. The group of us still laugh about it when we get back together. Can we bring those days back? Have the Bills won since? Just kidding, but I do long for the good ole days.

Fans climbed fence to see the finish
We had a whole gang at that game. Some of our people left at halftime and waited in the "Billsmobile," a panel truck painted in Bills colors with logos.
After the comeback started, they tried to get back in and were denied entrance. They climbed the fence and came back to the seats bloody and muddy. Although the Bills denied it, they eventually opened the gates and let the people back in.
Dennis Quinn
The sobering reality was worth celebrating
My job brought me from Syracuse to Buffalo in October of that year. The Bills lost to the Oilers the week before so my new boss had no intentions of going to the game and offered the "new guy" the tickets. Though we were still recovering from an extended New Year's celebration that year, a college pal and I loaded up the Mercury Tracer with ample beverages and headed for the stadium. I can remember the two of us agreeing after halftime that if the Oilers scored we were leaving. Of course, they scored on a pick-six. Whatever logic and good fortune we didn't throw away in college led us to tough it out and witness the unbelievable. It was so unreal that we stopped drinking, sobered up and kept saying that this cannot be happening. I've seen some great games in person over the years (the Dave Hannan game, George Mason's win to go to the Final Four) but there was nothing like it.
Steve Schouten
When a team and city found their way
My brother and I had shared season tickets for approximately six years by the time of the comeback game but we had been Bills fans since birth. We had experienced every high and low imaginable with the team but the comeback game came to symbolize what the Bills, and Buffalo, were. It's easy to be a fan of a team that wins all the time and the Bills of the early '90s were easy to love. But that day we had backups playing and Houston seemed to move the ball at will. While the stadium was not full that day, most of the regulars in our section were there, but by halftime it was sparse and when Houston scored again there were probably only 25 percent of the fans still there.
When Houston scored to go up, 35-3, I put my head on my brother's shoulder and closed eyes and prayed it would get better … and it did!
The Bills that day, like Buffalo, had lost their stars and were struggling to "play in the big leagues." It wasn't pretty and many people left for warmer climates (well at least indoors!) and gave up on our Bills. Those who remained were loyal and stayed and prayed for a turnaround. Those Bills found a way to win and the city is trying to do the same thing.
Those of us who stayed, even if just out of loyalty, were rewarded with history and a memory that will stay with us forever.

Hey!I'm your great fan from
I'm your great fan from Poland (see you in Atlas Arena in June! :D ) and my girlfriend doesn't like You guys as I do. I'm making a movie for her 18 birthday, adn I think it's a good idea to place there something unusual. Would you record a short clip with you singing, wishing, anyway you'd like to, to make her love you as much as I do? I promise not to put it anywhere in net, not to give it to anybody else, just for her. If eventually done, please send me it by email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you very, very, very much! See you in Łódź! :)
Hey Billie,Tre,and Mike I
Hey Billie,Tre,and Mike I love ya all and I love the new albums!!! Please come do a concert in Calgary or Edmonton Alberta Canada it would mean the world to see you guys in concert around my home town :)
have you ever considered
have you ever considered having your fans plan a tour?
i'm sure there would be a huge increase in your fanbase, and also financial wise i am sure you'd grow as well.
you guys are, as i believe, the best rock band of all time and this would increase your natioin wide popularity as well.
i ordered the ultimate box
i ordered the ultimate box set and i havent gotten "Quatro" yet and i was wondering when i should expect it
Have you considered allowing your fans to set up the setlist for a concert?
You are coming to Estonia for the first time and some of us have waited this moment for years. And there are definitely some songs we wouldn't want to miss.
I don't think that any band has ever allowed its fans to have a say in the setlist that is going to be performed. You have the unique possibility to be the first one to allow this. It could be a joint "operation" - fans have the possibility to choose 50% of the songs and you, the band, the other 50.
Of course a technical solution is needed, but it could be set up very easily.
* Each fan has limited number of votes per concert (the number must equal the number of songs you will be presenting from the "fan wishlist")
* You must make available a predetermined list of songs fans can make their selection from
* The charts of top10 or top15 songs to a concert should be made visible on the site as well
* Voting should be ended 30 days before concert (or another timeframe that you will find suitable)
I think this is an idea worth considering and it helps to make the show even more memorable to you and your fans.
See you in Estonia, 25.06.2013.

I love the videos you guys
I love the videos you guys had for Uno! and for Stray Heart on Dos! but I think you should release some for Dos! and especially Tre! because even though I like The Forgotten, the video is more geared toward Twilight than the actual band. I assume at some point a video for X-Kid will be released more than just the old cassette tape but I think you should make some more videos too, at this point I really don't care what videos you make for what song, I'd just like to see any videos at all. And I'm really looking forward to Cuatro! and your tour date in Pittsburgh on March 31st, they say the sound system in the Consol Energy Center is amazing so I think it'll be a really good show and if you plan on doing a live album as well Consol would be a good place to record some songs. And I am also extremely happy the President was re-elected and that my state Pennsylvania voted to re-elect him, just by some miracle Billie Joe actually reads this post.

Charleston City Council will vote today on whether to ask the county to turn over the completion of Interstate 526 to the city.
If you go
What: Charleston City Council vote on resolution on Interstate 526When: 5 p.m. todayWhere: City Council chambers, City Hall, 80 Broad St.
And Mayor Joe Riley said he expects the group will vote overwhelmingly in favor of it.
The meeting is expected to draw large numbers of both supporters and opponents who want to weigh in on the controversial project to extend the Mark Clark Expressway across Johns and James islands.
County Council, the projects current sponsor, previously voted against building the road, but reversed the vote when it learned it could be on the hook for $11.6 million already spent on the project. The county then asked the state Department of Transportation to take it on, but that groups commission earlier this year also voted against taking over.
Bev Jenkins, spokesman for Charlestonians for I-526, said his group supports the city taking over the project, and he thinks many of its members will show up today to comment.
Were rallying our troops, he said.
The group, which has more than 1,000 members on Facebook, would prefer the road be completed as an interstate, instead of the currently proposed parkway design, Jenkins said. But members would prefer the parkway rather than no road.
Riley has said the design cant be significantly modified without again going through a lengthy approval process.
Robin Welch, spokeswoman for the opposition group Nix 526, which has more than 4,000 members on Facebook, said representatives from her group also will attend.
Were going to show up Tuesday and fight like hell, she said. Then were going to keep on fighting.

A memorial was held on Sept.14 for Eric Yates, who passed away last October from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Yates was an offensive lineman for the Goose Creek football team and was voted "Biggest Flirt" by his peers. His sister, Heather Ridgway described Eric as a loving, caring man who loved to help people.
"He got along with everybody and he was always helping those who are mentally challenged," she said. "Some people tend to bully mentally handicapped individuals but Eric always had their back."
Friends and family gathered in the GCHS parking lot to celebrate Yates' Sept.16 birthday. A candlelit vigil was held at 8:15 p.m. with Yates' brother-in-law Greg Ridgway reading Psalms 23 to the group of over 50.
A table featuring Yates' urn was adorned with photos, candles and cakes shaped to look like his favorite snack, Swiss Cake Rolls.
At 10:30 the crowd released balloons in honor of Yates. The majority were black and gold, Goose Creek's colors, but some children picked out some Happy Birthday balloons to be released as well.
Attendees shared stories about Yates. His mother Bobbie Moyer said that she is looking forward to the day when she is reunited with her son in heaven.
In addition to his sister and mother, Yates left behind another sister Shannon, his father Richard, and a 7-year-old daughter Catherine.

The boys basketball team is building something here, and it's much more than a winning season.
New head coach Phil Bryant, along with son and JV coach Matt Bryant, have a vision for a stronger Whittell basketball program. Matt Bryant started laying the foundation as head coach last year. This year, the father-son duo will begin building the walls.
"We're trying to instill a real basketball culture and community at Whittell. Not just a stop 'em up kind of thing and get through the season," Phil Bryant said. "It's not an instantaneous turnaround. You have to build and create a foundation."
When it comes to building a basketball legacy, Phil Bryant knows what he's talking about. The coach of 44 years led Westwood High School, a school of about 100 students near Lake Almanor, through three undefeated seasons during the past six years. Last year, his team went 27-2 overall and 8-0 in league.
"You can't just go out and think you're instantly going to win," Phil Bryant said. "That has to be the product of what you do and how you prepare."
Basketball cultures aren't built overnight. In the grand scheme of things, wins and losses are not what Phil Bryant focuses on.
"You have to look at, are we competing?" Phil Bryant said. "We want to win like everyone else, but if you just target that and say 'OK, we want to win 20 games,' and you win 12, then you haven't been successful. If you go out and compete, then you can be successful and build."
This year's Whittell foundation starts with a point guard named Garrett Bronken. Bronken probably won't be the leading scorer, but the senior quietly leads by example on and off the court. His work ethic speaks loud enough.
"Garrett Bronken is key. He comes in the morning on a regular basis, and he's really improved," Phil Bryant said.
Senior Austin Neil is up next. He will likely be the leading scorer for the Warriors this season and a more vocal leader on the court, his coach said, adding that the senior's accurate shot will play a crucial role in the Warriors' offense.
Rodney Aguirre-Rodrigez and Mark Waite will help pick up the defensive pressure.
"Rodney Aguirre-Rodrigez and Mark Waite are critical role players and great on our defense," Phil Bryant said. "They're not big scorers, but their value to the team is critical. You can't have everyone out there who wants to just score and then nobody who wants to share the ball."
The Warriors' underclassmen will also be strong contributors this season, their coach said. Palmer Chaplin and Bryce Bronken have logged substantial training time. Their self-motivated efforts resulted in noticeable improvement on the court, Phil Bryant said.
Derek Heldt-Werle, Anders Chaplin, Josh Welch and Cody Wyatt round out the Warriors' roster.
"I've named a lot of guys, but we're trying to build that real team concept and nobody does it alone," Phil Bryant said. "What I like about this group is they're all accepting their roles."
Last year, the Warriors were 6-17 overall and 2-9 in league, but from Phil Bryant's point of view, past records don't matter. Going forward, every guy will have a role in building a stronger basketball future.
"We don't want the kids looking back to what it was last year," Phil Bryant said. "Understanding the history of Whittell basketball is important, but it's understanding that they're the foundation of what goes on from this point."

Xinjiang/ Sinkiang: Muslims With Knives Run Amok in Market, Kill Ten; 2 Attackers Get Shot By Police
From Australia's ABC, their China correspondent Stephen McDonell, and AFP.
'12 Killed in Unrest in Western China'.
'Unrest'. Funny how majority-Muslim countries, regions, districts and suburbs seem to be characterised by 'unrest', often involving the use of knives, guns, or explosives against civilians. - CM
'Officials in China say 12 people have been killed in an outbreak of ethnic violence in the country's west.
'Ethnic violence'. We should, however, bear in mind that the Han are not Muslim, and the Uighur are. This means that even if the Uighur Muslims of this region were granted independence as yet another Central Asian '-stan', jihad across the border into non-Muslim China would undoubtedly take place the moment the Muslims thought they could get away with it. It also means that even if the Han Chinese were not the high-handed and harsh imperialists, and colonisers that they are, but treated the Uighur under their rule with the scrupulous decency and restraint with which the Jews of Israel treat the Arab Muslims within Israel and in Judea and Samaria, Muslim animosity and aggression toward the Han Chinese would not be one whit the less...indeed, it would probably be even greater than it is. - CM
'Officials say knife-wielding ethnic Uighurs killed ten people, presumably Han Chinese, at a market in Yechenge, near Kashgar.
That is: knife-wielding Uighur Muslims killed ten people, most likely Han Chinese Infidels, at a market in Yechenge... Now, this is the official Chinese version, so one must be cautious. However: I find nothing intrinsically unbelievable about a report of a group of Muslims with knives running amok in a market, stabbing and killing random non-Muslims. Arab Muslims do this sort of thing quite frequently in Israel; there are more that are stopped in the nick of time. There was also the case of Sebastian Selam, in France, a Jewish disk jockey whose Muslim colleague lured him into a deserted place and stabbed him to death. I am aware of two recent cases in Australia of Muslim males accosting and stabbing Australian non--Muslim teenage boys; one in a park in broad daylight, one in a street in heavily-Islamised Lakemba. - CM
'Several of the attackers were also reportedly shot dead by police.
Good. - CM
'According to official figures, in 2009 violent conflict between local Uighurs and China's dominant Han Chinese left 197 dead, mostly Han.
'Many Uighurs remain angry over the arrests or alleged disappearances of people rounded up across the region in the aftermath of the 2009 violence.
The problem for the Uighur Muslims is that those who have come to understand Islam's modus operandi grow to be sceptical of any and all Muslim claims of victimhood. And such people also know, from an examination of the past and present practice of majority-Muslim states, that were the situations reversed - were the Muslims the imperial rulers and colonists, and the Han the colonised - Muslim rule over the Han would be even more harsh, cruel and exploitative than secular Han rule over Muslims. - CM
'In December, seven people were killed in Pishan county in what the government described as a hostage rescue operation after "terrorists" kidnapped two people.
'Exiles, however, said the incident was a conflict between regular Uighurs and policemen,
Who to believe? The Muslims or the Han Chinese regime, neither of which have much historic regard for the truth? Again, one can only extrapolate from the observable fact that wherever they are, in any situation where they are under Infidel rule, Muslims always claim to be the persecuted ones, the innocent victims acting in self-defence, yet a close scrutiny of many of the conflicts in which they are embroiled tends to reveal that they have in fact started the fight; they are masters of passive as well as active aggression. - CM
'prompted by mounting discontent over a crackdown and religious repression in the area.
Let us bear in mind that Muslims, unless they are undisputed Top Dogs with everyone else under their boot, are always discontented. Chinese persecution of the peaceful, harmless and entirely loyal Christian population in China is one thing. Chinese surveillance of mosques and of Muslims, and the keeping of a tight rein on same, is quite another thing, and fully comprehensible to any person who is aware of the enormous disruption and physical and social harm that aggressive and expanding and cravenly appeased Mohammedan colonists are causing all over the Western world and beyond it in places like Christian Africa. - CM
'The region was also hit by three deadly attacks last July that left dozens dead.
'The Chinese government blames much of the violence in the resource-rich region on what it calls the three "evil forces" of extremism, separatism, and terrorism.
I wouldn't have expected the Chinese, of all people, to dodge the real issue like that. Why is it so hard for Infidels to spit out the words 'Muslim', 'Islam' and 'Jihad'? It is not until the final paragraph that we get the I-word...in the usual ritual disclaimer.
'But some experts (which experts? - can we have some names, please, AFP, Mr McDonell? - CM) doubt terror cells operate in Xinjiang, where Turkic-speaking Uighurs practise a moderate form of Islam".
I suspect that the putative absence of (or, more probably, low profile currently being deployed by) 'terror cells' (that is, of out and out jihad gangs) is most likely due primarily to the close scrutiny and harsh security measures employed by the Chinese non-Muslim state, rather than to any special degree of 'moderation' in the Uighur practice of Islam. If the Uighur recite and study the Quran they will know the Verse of the Sword, and all the other verses that inculcate hatred of the Infidel and exhort the Believers to engage in Jihad. But they will also know about taqiyya; about those verses that advise the keeping of a low profile, and the permissibility of pretending 'friendship' - smiling whilst harbouring hatred in the heart - in situations where the surrounding Infidels are as yet too strong and too wary to be subdued by open assault. - CM

The Chinese are doing what we all should do - when Muslims play up, they do something about it. They go and put down the perpetrators and so should we.
I have lived in China and I know the good and the bad of this society, but one thing they do and that is to protect their own soil first. We dont. We will let Islam in and help them to destroy us. We are so politically correct that if we speak up for freedom and a fair go, we are called racist and we are not the racist, it is those who want to destroy us, who are racist.
I taught in Turkey for several years and I know the agenda of this country and it does not include us. None of us. The reignition of radical Islam is indeed a big worry to my Turkish female friends. They dont want to go back to the veil or not to have an education and have no legal rights within marriage. As Islam becomes stronger and stronger we are all in great danger. They cry for their democratic republic to return to the gift Ataturk left for them.

Cardinals Punch Nationals Ticket in Regional Playoff
PULLMAN, Wash. -- The Ball State men's golf team is on its way to the NCAA Nationals for the first time since 1986 after defeating San Diego State in a playoff Saturday for the fifth and final qualifying spot out of the Pullman Regional.
Alex Stinson's up-and-down for birdie out of a greenside bunker on the par-5 18th hole sealed the playoff victory for Ball State, whose four counting scores on the hole bettered San Diego State's by one.
With all the other regionals complete at the time of the playoff, Ball State became the 30th and final team to punch its ticket to Capital City Club in Atlanta for Nationals, May 28-June 2.
"It's absolutely amazing," Ball State coach Mike Fleck said. "Our motto the last few years has been to stay relevant, and we did that this week. Coming down those last few holes (in regulation), I kind of thought we had lost the opportunity, but we didn't. It's amazing what these guys have done and what they continue to do. And we're still relevant."
The celebration that followed Stinson's birdie looked less likely nearly two hours earlier when the Cardinals finished a challenging final round in cold and windy conditions three shots behind San Diego State at 8-under par for the tournament. But the Aztecs were still on the course, and by the time they finished, the teams were tied for fifth.
A playoff ensued with the 10 golfers from the two teams going off in two groups from the 18th tee. The top four scores from each team would determine the winner.
All five San Diego State golfers had looks at birdie but could not make them and settled for pars. After Ball State's Tony Lazzara made a sand save for par in the first group, Stinson's playing partners, Tyler Merkel and McCormick Clouser, each made pars of their own in the second. Then Stinson, who was in the bunker in two and knocked his sand shot within a foot, tapped in for what was the only birdie.
"It's something the guys talked about on the tee before the playoff hole," Fleck said. "They said it was really going to come down to the shots around the green, and it definitely did. San Diego State looked like they were in much better position, but our last three guys got it done. It was awesome to watch."
Stinson's playoff birdie capped an impressive week at Washington State's Palouse Ridge Golf Club. In Saturday's final round, the senior from Anderson, Ind., matched his career best for the second day in a row with a 3-under par 69 to lead Ball State to a final-round total of 291.
Stinson opened with back-to-back birdies for the second straight day on his way to a 33 on his first nine holes and then made all pars on his second nine. He was Ball State's top individual for the tournament in a tie for 16th at 4-under par after a career-low 54-hole total of 212.
Merkel, who overcame a late triple bogey to post a 75 on Saturday, tied for 30th individually at 1-under par. Clouser ended the tournament in a tie for 37th with a career-best 54-hole total of even-par 216. He posted a 76 in the final round.
Joe Gasser fired a final-round 72 that put him in a tie for 41st at 1-over par, and Lazzara closed with a 75 to tie for 55th at 5-over. Ball State's regional total of 864 as a team was the program's best in a 54-hole NCAA event.
The Cardinals, which started the day in a tie for seventh in the 14-team field, were in and out of fifth position all day on a jumbled middle portion of the leaderboard. Ball State closed with all pars on its final hole of regulation, the ninth, except for an up-and-down birdie from Gasser that proved to be just what the team needed to get into the playoff.
Ball State will now be making its 13th all-time appearance at Nationals. Each of their previous appearances came before there were regional rounds to get through.
The Cardinals joined California, TCU, Saint Mary's and Southern California in advancing from the Pullman Regional. The top-ranked Bears finished the tournament at 43-under par, while TCU climbed up on the final day to grab second place at 23-under. Saint Mary's was third and USC was fourth.
USC's Sam Smith and California's Michael Weaver tied for individual medalist honors at 14-under.

Western Digital has announced its latest drive, a 2 Terabyte Caviar Green hard drive with 32 MB of cache and a seek time of 8.9ms. It runs between 7200 or 5400 RPM depending on load, which saves power.
Due to advances in Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR), it is able to achieve this using a four platter design, with 500 GB per platter. Having fewer platters reduces power consumption as well.
WDC's previous capacity champion was only 1TB, so this new flagship has been anticipated for use in DVRs and archival systems. The model number is WD20EADS, and is being shipped to distributors this week.
In addition to the 2TB model, Western Digital is also launching a 1.5TB model (WD15EADS) to accompany its revised 1TB model (WD10EADS). Both also feature 32MB of cache, which helps to increase access speed to commonly accessed data.
"While some in the industry wondered if the end consumer would buy a 1 TB drive, already some 10 percent of 3.5-inch hard drive sales are at the 1 TB level or higher, serving demand from video applications and expanding consumer media libraries," said Mark Geenen, President of Trend Focus.
WDC's primary competitor Seagate recently unveiled their Barracuda 7200.12 series of 3.5" desktop drives, featuring a 1TB 2 platter design. It is available with 32MB of cache as well.
Seagate is being particularly cautious these days, after firmware problems with the flagship Barracuda 7200.11 series of drives caused problems with RAID and Linux setups, and lowered prosumer confidence in the world's leading hard drive supplier.
Its Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB drive (ST31500341AS) was previously the largest single hard drive available to consumers, and the only one to go above 1TB.
Seagate may very well release their own 2TB 7200.12, but they still haven't been able to supply the Momentus 7200.4 500GB laptop drives that they announced six months ago on July 10.
quote: BTW, WD's other "GreenPower" technologies, "IntelliSeek" and "IntelliPark" are pretty cool power saving technologies that should have little or no effect on performance.
quote: If that was the case, they would use those technologies across their entire product line.
quote: When it first launched the GreenPower Caviar, WD refused to disclose the drive's actual spindle speed, saying only that it was somewhere between 5,400 and 7,200RPM. The company later admitted that the drive ran at closer to the former than the latter, but we haven't been able to coax out an exact spindle speed.Numerous sites have speculated that the Caviar Green essentially runs at 5,400RPM, and now even Western Digital has changed its tune. Sort of. The drive's latest spec sheet lists the Green's rotational speed as "IntelliPower," which WD defines as "A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance." So much for clarification.Western Digital obviously doesn't want customers making assumptions about the Caviar Green's performance based on rotational speed alone, but the decision to obfuscate it behind blatant marketingspeak is entirely unnecessary and evasive. After all, the market isn't short on examples of drives with slower spindle speeds outperforming faster ones. One need look no further than our most recent mobile storage round-up to see Western Digital's own 5,400-RPM Scorpio Blue beating Seagate's 7,200-RPM Momentus in some tests. Consumers deserve a little more credit. Those nerdy enough to dig through data sheets or online reviews to find a drive's spindle speed are going to know that it's not the only factor that dictates performance.

Because you have asthma, COPD, or another lung disease, your doctor has prescribed medicine that you need to take using a nebulizer. A nebulizer is a small machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist. You sit with the machine and breathe in through a connected mouthpiece. Medicine goes into your lungs as you take slow, deep breaths for 10 to 15 minutes. It is easy and pleasant to breathe the medicine into your lungs this way.
If you have asthma, you may not need to use a nebulizer. You may use an inhaler instead, which is usually just as effective. But a nebulizer can deliver medicine with less effort than an inhaler. You and your doctor can decide if a nebulizer is the best way to get the medicine you need. The choice of device may be based on whether you find a nebulizer easier to use and what type of medicine you take.
Most nebulizers are small, so they are easy to transport. Most nebulizers also work by using air compressors. A different kind, called an ultrasonic nebulizer, uses sound vibrations. This kind of nebulizer is quieter, but costs more money.
Take the time to keep your nebulizer clean so that it continues to work properly.
The basic steps to set up and use your nebulizer are as follows:

BELOIT - At first glance, a week 10 match up between Salem and West Branch might not elicit much of a reaction.
But aside from both teams being out of the playoff picture, with a rivalry game there is still much to play for.
Bragging rights, a share of an NBC league title and one last opportunity to become the all-time winningest class against the Warriors in Salem High School football history are what's at stake in the 2012 installment of West Branch vs. Salem.
The Warriors will earn a share of the NBC title with a victory. Even though they are mathematically eliminated from post-season play, the game may have a playoff feel for both teams.
"I think I said it last year; it's great that this game is week 10 because there could be a lot of things riding on it," West Branch coach D.J. Dota said. "There's been a lot of upsets of Salem coming in and West Branch getting knocked off. The state title year they had to go into overtime to beat them, so there's a lot of tradition."
It's also the Quakers last chance to send their senior class off with the most wins of any class in Salem High School football history. To do so against West Branch could add to the sweetness of the accomplishment.
"It would be great," Salem head coach Ron Johnson said. "That's unprecedented. For them to win four straight and never lose to them it would be a great sweep for those guys and for them to finish their careers in the right way."
Though a lack of success is what might be visible now, Johnson says these seniors with solid work ethic and values have laid the foundation for it in the future.
"They've set the precedent," Johnson said. "We told the seniors early on that they might not win the brass ring this year, and meet all their goals of being a state champion. But when it does happen, and it's going to happen, they'll be the first group that will be invited back and be a big reason for that to happen."
As customary for a Ron Johnson team, the Monday of week 10 is when team captains are elected. This year is no different.
Junior wide receiver Marcus Crittenden and sophomore offensive linemen Mike Ciotti were elected for the offensive side of the football. On defense, senior defensive back Jake Carner and junior linebacker Logan Taylor earned the honor.
Salem comes into the final week of the season after falling behind early in the first half in a 43-26 loss to Louisville. A traditional second half surge made things interesting, but couldn't quite bring the Quakers within striking distance.
West Branch meanwhile pulled off a big upset of top-ranked Marlington in week nine 35-14. The Warriors wanted to keep the Dukes in check on using the option and standout running back Dymonte Thomas.
"A lot of opponents that they played against were able to move the ball down the field but self destructed in the red zone," Dota said. "We had to come away with points. Defensively, we did everything possible to stop the option. When he (Thomas) lined up at wide receiver we wanted to stop the big play. I felt in all three-phases of the game we executed."
The Warriors have their own talenr to display at running backin Brenden Wells. The holder of multiple rushing records at West Branch, Wells broke the single game rushing record with 356 yards. The old mark of 259 yards by Joe Wilson stood for more than 40 years.
"We have a really good offensive line up front and that's helped him with a lot of the things he's accomplished," Dota said. "He's an explosive player he can change field position or the emotion of a game. He was able to do that for us in the games he played in."
The senior will have one more game to add to his career marks of 597 carries, 3,538 yards and 44 touchdowns tonight. Wells leads a run-heavy offense that the Quakers will likely get a steady diet of. When he doesn't carry the ball, it will be Troy James taking the handoffs who has rushed for 593 yards and 12 touchdowns this year.
"They have a bunch of guys they can to go with the football," Johnson said. "When you're as good as he (Wells) is, you're not going to stop him. You just want to be very physical with him and wear him out. By being physical you can get him to maybe come down to a normal ability level."
Rivalry games always involve some interesting twist. With two communities as close as Salem and Beloit, there are many overlapping similarities.
"There's a true rivalry that's there because of things in the past and a lot of people that live in now, or used to live in one or the other school districts," Dota said. "You know, people even have maybe married into one side or the other. It's very unique."
Johnson agreed.
"That's the beauty about rivalry games," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're 0-9 or 9-0," Johnson said.
Salem and West Branch will kickoff at 7 p.m. at Clinton Heacock Stadium.

Dear Car Coach: I'm confused when it comes to getting my oil changed. Some places have deals, while my dealer says they are using the right oil and others aren't. What are the facts? – M.C.
Dear M.C.: Motor oil is the lifeblood of an engine and can help protect and prolong its life. This phrase should ring true for the owners of the more than 300 million vehicles on the road today, whether for compact cars, pick-up trucks or SUVs. However, not just any motor oil will ensure the healthy life of an engine and, unfortunately, discounted deals for an oil change may not be such a deal after all.
With consumers looking to reduce their automotive maintenance costs, service locations can be quick to offer discounted services. Some providers offer discounted motor oil change services to attract value-minded consumers, but how can a consumer be sure he or she is getting a quality motor oil and filter as part of the deal? A promise of "up to five quarts' conventional oil" doesn't really tell the consumer much about the quality of the oil being installed.
I can't stress how important it is to be "in the know" when it comes to motor oil changes. If drivers choose to have professionally installed motor oil in their vehicle, it's a must for them to confirm what that shop is actually pouring into their car.
Motor Oil Matters, or MOM, a new consumer education and industry watchdog program of the American Petroleum Institute, has been established to stress the benefits of quality licensed motor oils and call onto the carpet those who engage in deceptive practices.
Here are some tips to follow, some from the MOM website:
• When it's time for an oil change, follow recommendations in the vehicle's owner's manual. Pay close attention to the oil life monitor if a vehicle has it. When the monitor says it's time for a change, it's time. Drivers need to pay close attention to their vehicle usage because vehicle manufacturers sometimes recommend oil drain intervals based on driving habits.
• Do you know what you're getting? Your service provider should be happy to provide you with the motor oil brand, viscosity grade and performance level of the oil they use before it is poured into your vehicle. It's also important to ask for that information in writing or on the receipt. Drive away from any locations that don't know or won't confirm in writing what they're pouring into your vehicle.
• Who can you trust? The American Petroleum Institute certifies oil change locations under the MOM program. Service providers that are MOM-certified have had their quality control procedures independently audited and have made the commitment to always tell their customers exactly what oil is going into their cars.
• Does the oil meet the performance level recommended for my car? Any motor oil poured into a vehicle should meet the level of performance recommended in the vehicle owner's manual. For many vehicles, manufacturers recommend oils that comply with the latest International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee or American Petroleum Institute standard.
• Make sure the oil change includes a fresh "high grade" filter. Your owner's manual likely recommends a particular type of oil filter, so make sure the right one is included with your oil change.
You can find out more by visiting www.MotorOilMatters.org. Consumers are encouraged to confidentially report any oil marketer, distributor or service location that they suspect is misrepresenting the quality of the oil being marketed or installed. Just go to the MOM website and click on the Report Abuse button.
Dear Car Coach: I am always interested in estimated mileage on the new car window sticker. I don't believe the info is accurate, but what else do we have to go by? – J.S.
Dear J.S.: First it was Hyundai with overstated miles-per-gallon figures, then it was Ford with the Fusion Hybrid. Now, the federal Environmental Protection Agency is investigating even more mileage claims. Fuel economy is one of the top three reasons car buyers choose a specific make and model.
Keep in mind that these tests are conducted under ideal driving conditions and using pure gasoline (while we are forced to use 10 percent ethanol gasoline). Sadly, there isn't much we can do other than to check with magazines that actually run a full tank of gas and report their findings until we get results from regulators.
