The Brightest Blue and Gold
The Brightest Blue and Gold
It is National FFA Week! It always begins on the Saturday preceding George Washington's birthday and runs through the following Saturday. National FFA week started in 1947. This year, it is celebrated February 19 to 26, 2011.
FFA Week gives members a chance to share information about the FFA organization with others. With less than 2 percent of the population actively involved in production agriculture, it is vital that those who know agriculture share it with those who do not have first-hand experience about agriculture. During the week, chapters host a variety of activities at their schools and in their communities. They speak to the public about agriculture and volunteer for community service projects. Popular events include petting zoos for local grade schools.
FFA membership can be found on numerous leaders' resumes, from teachers, scientists, and doctors. The ranks of FFA alumni even include professions like NFL football player, Harvard-educated Pulitzer Prize winning editor, White House Communications Director, and even a US President.
FFA taught each of these young people skills that they used every day in their personal and professional careers. The FFA mission: FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. What impact with today's FFA members have on the future of agriculture and the world?

When Superintendent Pamela Brown in March said that she was going to shake up the central administration for Buffalo Public Schools, she said her new model would provide stronger supports in the schools while cutting "excessive high/mid-level management positions" and saving money.
Last week, Brown outlined her long-awaited reorganization and stated that she accomplished her goals and saved the district $1 million.
Upon closer examination, however, while Brown's restructuring seems to allocate much more central office staff for school support, it does not appear to be either leaner or cheaper. In fact, the restructuring does not radically change any of the familiar faces in City Hall but instead adds many new ones.
Meanwhile, the district had no complete information on how to account for the $1 million in savings, saying that more changes may be coming.
Brown and interim Deputy Superintendent Mary Guinn have stressed that the advantage of the new organizational model is to make more central office administrators available to schools.
"This is really the cornerstone of the superintendent's reorganization," Guinn said.
Yet an additional four or five higher-level positions appear to have been created for the district's central office, administrators say, and the net difference in positions and money spent on central office salaries is not yet known.
Based on information gathered from Guinn and other school budget and staff officials, the reorganization will:
• Continue to employ nearly all of the existing top-level administrators and promote five of the current executive cabinet members.
• Add four new positions to the superintendent's executive cabinet. That includes a new chief of public relations, a new executive special assistant to the superintendent, a permanent deputy superintendent and an additional chief of school leadership. Three other administrators will be removed from the cabinet but will keep similar job responsibilities. All will remain employed by the central office, though some may see a scale back in their job descriptions and pay.
• Reshuffle numerous positions and change job titles for many present central office employees. The chief academic officer position, for instance, will now become the chief of curriculum, assessment and instruction, and the deputy director of human resources is now the deputy chief of talent management.
• Change several job titles to reflect additional promotions in the central office. Two director-level positions, for instance, will now be replaced with higher-level assistant superintendents of curriculum, assessment and leadership development.
• Require the hiring of new administrators beyond the superintendent's cabinet.
The reorganization plan means hiring an additional student placement supervisor and adding four new director positions under the four chiefs of school leadership responsible for providing direct school support. The district has an existing administrator filling one of the four slots. The other three are currently vacant.
The district's general counsel will be replaced, and a third assistant legal counsel position that has been vacant for at least a year will now be filled. The vacant supervisor of budgets and grants management will also be filled.
In addition, grant money will be used to pay for additional supervising principal positions, human resources personnel, and a new director under the chief of strategic alignment and innovation.
The interim deputy superintendent, who was originally to be replaced with a permanent deputy at the end of May, will also be paid out of the district's grant funds until the district ends its expanded search and names a successor.
When asked how all these changes and additions lead to savings for the district, Chief Financial Officer Barbara Smith, who will now also serve as the district's chief operating officer, said the reorganization eliminates 15 positions from the district's operating budget.
This includes:
• Ten teachers – four coordinators, four speech and hearing teachers, a central office guidance counselor and a central office social worker – who will be moved out of the central office and into schools to fill vacancies,
• Three eliminated positions, including the director of elementary education, a central office physical therapist who retired and another educational support services position.
• The equivalent of roughly two full-time positions, which will continue to be employed by the district but whose income will be covered by grant funding instead of operating budget.
While these savings would conceivably save the district $1 million from its operating budget, as Brown stated in her news conference last week, costs for the new hires and promotions in the reorganization are not accounted for.
Because the reorganization plan was only recently unveiled, parts of it are still preliminary and subject to change, Guinn said. For that reason, she said, she could not give an exact count of how many net positions were being added or subtracted to the central office.
Similarly, the district was unable to produce a complete financial breakdown of the net costs/savings of Brown's reorganization following Brown's announcement of her new administrative team.
Instead of the district's nearly 60 schools reporting to three community superintendents, who must scramble to provide resources and support for students and staff, the new configuration provides four community superintendents, now renamed "chiefs of school leadership." Each work will directly with roughly 15 schools.
Each school leadership chief has been assigned more staff who can offer instructional coaching and provide more immediate resources in terms of staffing and budgeting, Guinn said. They have more authority, more staff and more capacity to deliver services to address any need a school has, she said. "This is the one-stop-shop focus of the organization."
Board President Barbara Seals Nevergold praised the new model as a means of addressing criticism of the district has being "top heavy" in City Hall with people who shuffle papers but don't contribute to student achievement.
She also praised the $1 million in district savings but had no information on how that savings figure came about.
"With this realignment, Dr. Brown is attempting to put staff in positions where they directly support students and faculty and principals at the school level," she said. "Now, we are addressing what has been a long-standing criticism by working to develop a staffing pattern that is responsive to the district's schools, the pupils and the district's staff."

KERSHAW – Justin Brewer and Derrick Peach always had smiles on their faces.
That's how Alex Dabney, assistant principal at Andrew Jackson High School, remembers the two juniors, who both died after a car accident Monday afternoon less than two miles from the school.
"I knew them very well. If you go back and remember them in school, those young men seemed to have a good day every day. They were fun-loving kids," Dabney said. "There was always a smile on their face and a zeal for life."

More than $3,000 has already been donated to this year's Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket fund.
The fund, sponsored by HOPE in Lancaster, collects donations that are used to by food vouchers for less fortunate families in Lancaster County.
Recipients can use those vouches at local grocery stores.
Through Friday, $3,352 has been donated to the fund, said HOPE Director Elaine Adkins.
Vouchers will be given based on the number of people in each household. However, each eligible household will receive at least one $25 food voucher.
Children can come get free gifts while the adults learn more about deterring crime in their city.
That's the plan for an upcoming toy giveaway sponsored by crime-prevention group Lancaster Alternative Policing Strategy (LAPS) and the Lancaster Police Department.
The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at several parks throughout the city.
Organizers will be at each park for an hour. Following are the locations and the times.

INDIAN LAND – In these days of economic uncertainty and a 14.2 percent local unemployment rate, it's no secret there are a lot of people struggling to make ends meet in Lancaster County.
And like the county, so it goes in Indian Land.
Until recently, if you lived in the growing Panhandle community and happened to be among those struggling to put food on the table, you had few choices since the closest food pantries were in Lancaster and Fort Mill.
At the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting on Jan. 27, two special honors will be announced. County residents are invited to submit nominations for these community awards.
Volunteer of the Year
Nominations for the Lancaster County Volunteer of the Year award are now being accepted.
Residents, businesses and volunteer organizations are invited to place a name in nomination for this award.
A former sergeant with the Lancaster Police Department is suing the department and two of its members for money he said he's owed after being fired earlier this year.
Pat Parsons, 50, a sergeant who had worked for the department for 11 years, filed suit Thursday in federal district court. He is represented by Columbia-based law firm Gaffney Lewis & Edwards.
Hugh White is stepping down as Lancaster's police chief.
White, whose retirement will become effective Jan. 7, has headed the Lancaster Police Department for the last 11 years. He's worked for the department since 1982.
White, 51, said he had been thinking about retiring since 2007 and was prompted to do so after hearing about possible changes to the police officer retirement system, according to a press release issued Thursday afternoon.
He said his retirement had been in the works the last three years.
The county's welcome center has a new home – at least a temporary new home.
It moved from the historic Springs House at Catawba and Gay streets to 128 S. Main St., a retail front location in downtown Lancaster.
"This was a much-needed move," said Sylvia Hudson, the welcome center specialist. "While I enjoyed the Springs House, this location and the additional space we have here are such blessings."
The center moved on Nov. 22 and opened at its new location on Nov. 30.
Hudson said the move is already paying off.
Mary Miller is thankful her family is safe after a fire destroyed her home early Wednesday morning.
Miller was working the late shift at Ipex Industrial, a Pineville plastics company, when she learned that her mobile home on Legacy Road was on fire.
"I got the call about 4 a.m. and that's when I left work to get home," Miller said.
She said her family was sleeping in the mobile home, near Shiloh Unity Road, when they woke to smoke pouring into their room.

This marks the time when I'm finally ready to get my act together. I'm putting on makeup. Wearing "normal" clothes. (Do not assume that means non-maternity. It just means non-pajama.) I'm not as embarrassed to leave the house. And I'm getting a new hair style tomorrow. (I plan to keep it long but you want to take bets on me deciding to chop it all off at the last minute? I've been known to do that.)
So now, some letters of apology.
Dear Friends & Family,
As I am crawling out of the new baby haze, please forgive me of my forgetfulness if I've not sent a proper thank you note for the lovely baby gifts. And I probably have written to you over and over in my mind at 3 am many nights, but I have no idea where a pen is in this house.
Dear Bathroom Floors,
I know you are used to neglect and utter disregard, but this is the longest I've ignored you and in a house with four males I am asking you from the bottom of my heart to hang in there just a little bit longer. And if you could pretty-please start repelling stray pee that would help immensely. Thanks.
Dear Eyebrows,
What a fright I had when I finally gave myself a really good look in the mirror today. Why didn't you say something before? I am so so so sorry.
Dear Belly,
Ok. I'm begging you for mercy. What the heck are you hanging around for? You were cute for a while but it's definitely time for us to part ways.
I do hope you all understand, as I've been caught in the gaze of a beautiful little baby girl for the past several weeks and it's just been heavenly. Cut me some slack? Mwah! You're the best.
Love, Steph

The high alpine hike overlooking the Ormont Valley affords some magnificent views onto the Diablerets chain, the Tours d'Ai, the Chamossaire and the Culan. Begin the hike in Isenau, the 1763-meter-high mountain station of the aerial cable-car. The hike remains at more or less this altitude all along the way. It traverses along the flanks of Cape au Moine - Pic Chaussy in areas that are already above the tree line. Becuase of its relative height, it is imperaive that one brings along enough water and sun block. Up on top, the path is quite straightforward but once on the ascent after La Lé, it requires a bit more concentration. It climbs steeply onto the 2351-meter-high Pic Chaussy. The view from here includes the Col des Mosses and the Pays d'Enhaut to the North. Zigzag down to Lioson Lake and continue to Les Mosses on shady forest trails. Persons not used to scrambling on very steep trails should take the route around the Pic Chaussy, not over it.
Hikers wishing to avoid the steep ascent to the Pic Chaussy can take the longer panoramic hike around the Pic to Les Mosses.
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation to Les Diablerets either from Bern via Thun/Gstaad or Montreux; then aerial cable-car to Isenau.
The careful planning of a tour will ensure that you also derive the maximum pleasure and enjoyment from it. Please take the time to contact the local information centre and enquire about route and weather conditions before setting off. Your intended trail may be fully or partially closed, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

The 5 Most Insane Moments in Indian Comic Books
#2. The Biggest Bollywood Star Alive Talks to a Bird
At the zenith of his career, Mr. T had his own Saturday morning cartoon show in which he coached a team of mystery-solving gymnasts. Now, take that previous sentence and replace "Mr. T" with "Brad Pitt and Beyonce, genetically fused together into an arachno-sapien with mind-control pheromones." You now have a rough idea of how screwball Supremo was.
At some point in the 1980s, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan decided to star in Supremo, his own superhero comic. The series alternated between Bachchan's public life as an actor -- surrounded by strangers informing him how great he is -- and his secret life as the vigilante Supremo. Here's his bio from the first issue, as this article was in danger of making too much sense.
Again, this is a career choice not unlike Will Smith suddenly announcing that he intends to replace the Jolly Green Giant on bags of peas. The best part of Supremo was that Bachchan spent every issue conversing with his falcon, Shaheen, who's a bit of an asshole by talking bird standards, perhaps somewhere between Sam the Eagle and Flintheart Glomgold.
He talked to that bird a lot.
Weirdly enough, I find the implication that Supremo went through the effort of teaching a falcon how to act far more impressive than the fact that he owns a verbose golden dolphin.
Even when living the impossible dream of riding a talking dolphin, Supremo won't shut up about Shaheen.
#1. James Bond Loses His Fucking Mind
In the 1980s, Indian comic publisher Everest Publications released a series of European James Bond comics poorly translated into English. These comics are as legendary as they are incomprehensible. Why? 007 metamorphoses from a debonair secret agent into an unfrozen neanderthal who delights in screaming what he sees. Let's ease you in with Bond's duel with a Communist cephalopod:
Now that you've survived that amuse-bouche, behold this collection of magnificent panels arranged in no particular order (trust me, they wouldn't make sense anyway). Did Goldfinger detonate an Anti-Grammar Bomb?
The comics were further saddled with a layout artist who may have been huffing rubber cement. Here's the final page of a 007 adventure titled "Super Duper!" Notice the plaintive THE END being edged off the page, buckling in its attempts to stanch the waterfall of text so that this nonsense story does not continue forever.
Fun fact: These comics were filled with boobs, but marketed to kids.
Let's conclude today's column with James Bond fucking the laws of syntax. Play us out, Nagraj.

Scores Report Interview with Chris Johnson
Who knows more about staying clean than New York Jets running back Chris Johnson? One of the fastest players in NFL history, Johnson knows all about bursting through holes untouched and unsullied by opposing defenders.
We spoke to him about his partnership with Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, how it feels to run a 4.24 40-yard dash and his monster 2009 season.
CJ2K! How is Mr. Clean doing these days?
"He's pretty good. You gotta keep your whips and your clothes clean, and Mr. Clean is all about that."
I made a mistake the other day. I bought these really nice white Polo shoes – low cut, crisp, the kind you wear without socks. I was looking good. That night, I had an unfortunate incident with a mud puddle on the way home. Guess who was there for me when I needed him the next day?
"Mr. Clean! The Magic Eraser does the trick, every time, especially with white clothes. It's easy to get dirty and the Magic Eraser makes it easy to clean up."
You've got six TD runs of over 80 yards in your career. The next closest players only have three. How do you account for that?
"It isn't just one thing. It has to do with everything: vision, speed, once you get out in the open not getting caught, being able to make people miss. On top of that, you've got to have your offensive line and the receivers blocking for you downfield. There is a lot to be aware of.
What's your favorite play: a toss sweep, a trap or what?
"Stretch play. Because it gives you a couple different holes to choose from and there's always a cutback lane."
Is there a run in your career that is your signature run? A play you look at after and you're like, "That's what I'm all about."
"A couple years ago I had a run versus Houston. It was a trap play and I came through the hole. My offensive lineman was trying to get to the block but he wasn't going to get there, so I grabbed him and threw him into the defender and it opened up and I ran."

Trusts are driving me nuts right now. Not because they are dropping so fast...because I want to pounce on them right now. Same with mREITs and some MLPs. If I can enter these things the right way over the next few months, I can walk away from the daily market grind for the next decade. For income, this an opportunity.
Including hedges, I'm net short in my brokerage account for the time being. Most of my positions in my IRA's are so old its the house's money now, so I don't fuss with them.
If we are now in recession, this is the most bizarre one in history. It is a recession where the first thing people do is rush out and buy a new car. That is what the sales figures for General Motors showed this morning, up an impressive 19.8% in September. The results were even better for Volkswagen (+36%) and Chrysler (+27%).

WASHINGTON – Never before was Debbera Ransom, of Buffalo, quite so proud to carry the New York State flag.
That's because she did it Monday in the biggest of all possible venues: the Inaugural Parade honoring President Obama.
"It was an awesome experience," said Ransom, 59, who marched with the United War Veterans Council. "To see the president in the presidential booth watching us and putting his hand over his heart – my goodness, my eyes started to water."
Ransom was one of hundreds of Western New Yorkers who took part in some way in Obama's second Inauguration. Others performed in the Marine Band or simply looked on from afar.
But in every case, they shared one thing in common: an uncommon pride in what would be, for some, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"It was unbelievable," said Sandra Williams, 53, who rode on the United War Veterans Council float just behind where Ransom was marching. "We had a close-up view of the president. It was just a dream come true."
It's also a dream that Williams made reality.
"I contacted the United War Veterans Council because I really wanted to march, and they got me in," Williams said.
For Williams, the parade was the perfect way to celebrate her 53rd birthday, albeit a day late, and a perfect way to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
And for Ransom, like Williams an Army veteran, carrying the New York flag from the Capitol to the White House was an easy task.
"I have been running on adrenaline all day," she said. "I made sure I was standing tall and marching in time, knowing the president was watching us."
Several Western New Yorkers in the Marine Band got a similar opportunity to perform for the president.
Master Sgt. Christopher McFarlane, a bassoonist from Williamsville, played at the Inauguration ceremony. Meanwhile, Staff Sgt. Samantha Angelo, a clarinetist from Buffalo, and Staff Sgt. Jonathan Bisesi, a percussionist from Orchard Park, played both during the ceremony and in the parade.
And Staff Sgt. Benjamin Albright, a trumpet player from Wilson, performed both at the ceremony and at one of the evening's two inaugural balls.
Of course, most of the people from Buffalo who attended the Inauguration merely looked on, but every one of several interviewed said even doing that was a distinct honor.
"There was just so much excitement in the crowd," said Muhammed Sumbundu, 21, a senior at Buffalo State College who organized a bus trip for about 50 students.
For many, Sumbundu said, there was great pride in sharing Obama's second inaugural with a president they admire so much. "He's the proof that dreams come true."
Then again, Obama's second inaugural also was proof that, as the president said in his Inaugural Address, things don't always go perfectly.
The Buffalo State crowd got situated far back from the stage, closer to the Washington Monument than the Capitol. There, the Jumbotrons that worked so flawlessly during Obama's first inaugural faltered this time, leaving the crowd only hearing the words of the president from afar.
Nevertheless, "it was exhilarating, particularly for those who were here for the first time," said Ron Stewart, the Buffalo State sociology professor who chaperoned the bus trip.
Unfortunately, that was not the case up front, where Lillian Davis-Wilson, 70, of Buffalo, found herself situated near a man who climbed a tree in order to deliver a nonstop anti-abortion screed throughout the ceremony.
"He was just so inappropriate," she said.
In contrast, Obama's speech could not have been more appropriate, she said.
"He really gave us a great message about what needs to be done, not just for his next four years, but for years to come," said Davis-Wilson – who, like Williams, celebrated a birthday on the day before the ceremony.
Like Williams, Davis-Wilson got to celebrate, too, but in a very different way.
"I'm trying," she said, "to get ready for a ball tonight."

In small increments, the Stetson Cross Country team has been achieving measured success against more powerful opponents all season long. In no meet, however, has their competition proven to be more challenging, or the Hatters' success more dramatic, than at the 25th Annual Mountain Dew Invitational at the University of Florida.
On November 1st, the University of Florida will be hosting the 2013 Southeast Conference Cross Country Championships, so this year's invitational drew a much larger, more competitive field than ever before. In other sports, Stetson might play an occasional game against a Division I powerhouse, but in this meet it faced, all at once, two dozen of them, including such well-known programs as Auburn, Florida, Florida A &M, Florida Gulf Coast, LSU, Miami, North Florida, South Carolina, South Florida, Tampa, Tennessee, UCF, and local rival Embry-Riddle, which is known as a top-tier NAIA school for its cross country and track programs. In all, 499 college men and women ran; the men in an 8K, the women in a 6K. Both were the longest races of the year for the Stetson teams.
Unfortunately, the Hatters men's and women's teams couldn't make a dent in the armor of these much larger schools, but the runners came away from the meet with their pride firmly intact. Nineteen of the twenty-one Stetson athletes running—seven of the men and twelve of the women—ran lifetime bests at this meet. With its rolling hills and soft grass surface, the Mark Bostick Golf Course was not the best of locations for running fast times, but with their eyes locked straight ahead – on their competition—Stetson's athletes ran their best.
Eclipsing all performances, both by time as well as effort, was the men's team-leading tandem of Andrew Epifanio and Joe Beery. Epifanio has run a 27 minute 8K three times before, but each of them came at the end of the season during an A-Sun Championship meet (27:36, 27:33, and 27:45, in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively). His latest, a 27:12—a 21 second PR--came early in the season, and in the team's first 8Kof the year, in spite of a 7:55 AM starting gun and the sultry weather.
"Before the race, I felt a little sore from this week's workouts," Epifanio said, "so I was concerned that I wouldn't do nearly as well as I did. I started off slower than I usually do, which was probably a good thing.
"I was not only surprised by my final time, but I also ended up PR-ing for four miles along the way (sub-22 minutes). Overall, it was a great race, and I really enjoyed the newly designed course this year."
Epifanio readily admits that his PR was not a one-man effort. In what has become an almost daily routine—seen in practice, as well as at meets – freshman Joe Beery was right there beside him, pushing him every step of the way. Beery's only other time at the distance was a slightly longer five mile road race back home in Ohio this past August (28:10). This time, he ran 27:28, 42 seconds faster.
"Andrew and I both ran pretty decent season openers" – (for the 8K)—"yesterday," said Beery, "and I think it's definitely due in large part to our training together. We've been pushing each other hard in workouts, and that translates into pushing each other in meets. It's a lot easier to lock onto a familiar, fixed point, than on a bunch of other, unfamiliar ones in a race.
"It was also really useful for me with the new distance," he continued. "Locking onto Andrew helped me not run too fast in the first three miles, and also helped me push on the last two, and I think (that by) me being there next to him helped drive us both under his previous PR."
After the 8K, Beery and Epifanio "cooled down" by repeating the course, bringing their mileage—with a warm-up—to over eleven. But they were not done for the day. That afternoon, Beery invited his teammate for yet another run of five miles, which they did from campus.
"As for the second run of the day," Beery continued, "it was just for some added benefit. I'm a huge believer in continuing heavy mileage into the first half (or a little more) of the season, so that was the main goal. Andrew Townes has a very similar view because of his high school coach, so we've been training with added mileage a lot lately, and Andrew Epifanio was also down for some distance lately."
Not coincidentally, Andrew Townes also set a PR, 29:28. Following him was Cody Malloy (29:45) and Kyle Meerdo (31:12 in his first 8K). The aforementioned top five totaled 318 points to finish 11th among the Division I schools.
Ryan Hodgins (32:07), Austyn Finnk (33:42), James Welch III (33:44), and Matthew Ady (36:21) also finished.
In addition to running with the team every morning, Welch has been making daily trips to the Hollis Center weight room in the afternoon, and the results showed up in the biggest PR of either team: one minute and 27 seconds.
"I think the weight training has been helping me," he said. "During the cross country season, I go in three days a week. One day I do arms (biceps and triceps), the next day back and chest, and legs and abs the third day. The following week I repeat that pattern. And in the off-season, I go in every day except Saturday and Sunday."
Welch says he noticed the difference in his first 8K of the season.
"On Saturday I felt like I had more energy. I also noticed a difference in my stamina, and it helped my endurance. I think my form was better, too."
Welch, in turn, may have helped push teammate Austyn Finnk to his new PR, 33:42.
"Austyn was ahead of me towards the very beginning," Welch continued. I finally caught up to him, passed him, and was ahead at 3 ½ miles. Then he caught me and we stayed together until the end. This was the first time this season that I've been able to run with him, so I think it helped both of us."
The women's team, too, had their share of success at the longest race they'll run all season (although they will again run a 6K at UCF on October 19th).
In what has become almost a routine for her, freshman Amanda Spring pushed herself to the limit and ran a team-leading 23:22. Amanda, who three days before won the Atlantic Sun Conference Runner of the Week award--the first in Stetson's history--ran as if to underscore her selection. Her time this week, in her first-ever 6K, is the new Stetson school record.
Behind Amanda, teammates Sami Hicks (23:53.90) and Adrienne DeVita (23:54.41) exchanged leads over each other many times before Hicks prevailed by half a second. In the process, they are establishing a healthy inter-squad competition that can only help the final score of the Stetson team.
"I didn't really know what to expect," said DeVita afterwards, "because I have never raced a 6k. I did not have a solid plan; I just decided to run it by how I felt. Yes, Sami and I work very well together in races. We work off of each other; each having our own strengths: I have the endurance to keep her going, and she has the speed at the end to help bring me sprinting to the finish line. In the end, I did not feel a big difference from the 5k to the 6k...I did not mind the longer distance."
The next two finishers, Daniella Godenzi (24:37) and Sabrina Guzsvany (24:57) rounded out the scoring.
If anyone could be seen as a key cog in the Stetson Women's team, it has to be Godenzi. She is the mid-pack leader, whose role is to push the leaders, and as one of the five scorers, to pass as many opposing runners as she can. Before Mountain Dew, her first 6K, she toed the starting line with a few unanswered questions.
"I didn't know how I was going to run the race," she explained, "so I just told myself to run it like a 5K, and hold on. Coach Joe [Matuszczak] gave me a target to run—24:30. He wanted us—my group included Sabrina, Trixi, and Emily – to run at a 6:35 pace.
"The course was very hilly," Godenzi continued, "but instead of letting it slow me down, I looked at it as a challenge. Every time I came to a hill, I pushed through it, and tried to pass girls as I went. On the downhill I opened up my stride and let it take me to the next hill."
Godenzi ended up running almost dead-on with Coach Matuszczak's target, missing by only seven seconds.
"I was very excited about my time," she said. "But I felt I could have run a faster time, by pushing further. I just didn't know how much further I had to run, and didn't want to kill myself. But at the end I picked it up in the last straightaway, from where I could see the finish line."
The next time Godenzi will see a 6K is the mid-October UCF Black and Gold Challenge.
"At UCF I'm going to try to start out at the same pace (6:35), and after that I'm going to try to do negative splits," she said. "When I finish the third mile, I'm going through and not make the same mistake.
"I think running at night will help me. I'm from Peru, originally, then moved to Chicago, and to Kentucky for my senior year. So I'm not used to the hot weather. (On Saturday) I felt the heat a lot. I think running in cooler weather will help."
With her fast-growing race experience, no doubt it will.
Also running 6000 meter PRs were Shelby Block (25:10), Clarissa Consul (26:21), Jessica Cosgrove (25:44), Nicole Garrabrant (27:19), Valerie Hiller (25:37), Trixie Menge (25:05), and Emily Nolen (25:08). Stetson finished 13th among the Division I schools with 312 points.
In small increments, the Stetson Cross Country team has been achieving measured success against more powerful opponents all season long. In no meet, however, has their competition proven to be more challenging, or the Hatters' success more dramatic, than at the 25th Annual Mountain Dew Invitational at the University of Florida.

Kate Is Game for a Glam Night Out with British Athletes
Wearing towering 4½-inch black suede Jimmy Choo heels, Kate, 31, attended an event for the charity SportsAid and presented its One-to-Watch Award – honoring an especially promising young British sportsman or -woman – to Amber Hill, a 16-year-old shooter from Bracknell.
"She congratulated me on how amazingly I have done," Hill, who holds the junior shotgun world record, told reporters afterward. "It's so nice that she recognizes young up-and-coming athletes. She's a great role model."
In an interview during the show, host John Inverdale told Hill: "Shooting. It's not the sexiest sport in the world." She jokingly replied: "I'm sure I can make it [sexy]."
"Kate said she loved my comments," Hill explained later. Of the award, she added: "It was totally unexpected. I really couldn't believe it."
The duchess also chatted with a fellow new mother at the event – Olympic gold-medalist rower Anna Watkins, who gave birth to a son on Sept. 20. "I've met Kate before, during the Olympics. She's lovely and so interested and supportive of athletes," Watkins told reporters.
"She asked me what I've been up to since the Olympics and I said, 'Well, actually, I've had a baby.' ... I didn't ask about [Prince] George, I'm afraid. I didn't pry about who was babysitting!"
On that score, it turned out Kate's husband, Prince William, had a dinner date of his own – an event at Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre.
Kate's night out came two days after William, 31, was the guest of honor – and a guest singer – at a gala for homelessness charity Centrepoint. That night, Kate was at home at Kensington Palace with the newest addition to the royal family.

DAYTON - From all corners of the state, the best high school players and coaches in Ohio converged on Welcome Stadium in Dayton for the Ohio High School Coaches Association North-South Classic. But the final scene was one that fans in Seneca County have gotten real familiar with seeing - Brian Colatruglio walking off the field a winner.
The Columbian mentor was the head coach for the North squad in the day's first game pitting all-stars from Ohio's big schools (Divisions I, II and III) against each other.
Powered by the arm of Massillon's Kyle Kempt, a future Oregon State Beaver, the North won a 33-27 back-and-forth affair.
"It was awesome. Obviously it's always more fun when you win, but either way it was a great experience," Colatruglio said. "I got to work with some great coaches, all at the top of the game. And they're great kids. I spent a lot of time over last three days with them. I was able to really get to know a lot of the kids. It will be neat watching them progress through their college careers and know I was able to spend a week with them, coaching them."
The North jumped out to a 14-0 lead, only to see the South respond with the next three scores for a 21-14 halftime lead.
But the North rallied with two touchdown passes from Kempt to get the win. Kempt finished 11 of 18 for 161 yards and three scores. All three touchdowns went to Gareon Conley, Kempt's high school teammate.
"We were fortunate to have the two Massillon kids on our team," Colatruglio said. "One of the hardest things to do is develop chemistry in a short amount of time. And they've been working together a long time and had that connection with other."
Jack Jacoby, one of Colatruglio's charges at Columbian, played for him one final time. Jacoby played defense in the game and was credited with one tackle for loss.
"Getting that tackle for loss, it felt good and let you know you can play at that level," Jacoby said. "They ran a sweep with the tailback, it was one-on-one in the open field. He was a big back and I was able to take his legs out for a four-yard loss."
Jacoby said after the game he was happy to get out and play one more game of football.
"It was definitely fun to put on the pads and hit someone, honestly. It was really fun to do that again," he said. "It was a great experience, a great game, and its always nice to win."
"He played good," Colatruglio said. "He made some plays; he was in the right spots. A lot of these kids are going to the Big Ten, and have no idea where Tiffin, Ohio is. Jack went out there and held his own against them and represented Columbian well."
The small school all-stars (Divisions IV, V and VI) took the field for the night-cap and once again, put on an exciting show.
The North team - with Calvert's Todd Fox as an assistant coach, Seneca Jared Thompson on the defensive side and Mohawk's Drew Loose splitting time at quarterback - got a field goal with 5:14 remaining to score a 27-24 victory.
After the South tied the game with just over eight minutes to play, Loose led the North toward the winning score, completing a 34-yard pass to Alec Hetzel that set up the game-winning field goal.
Loose threw for 101 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for a team-high 24 yards. Although that total also includes a 19-yard loss when Loose was running the clock out on the game's final play.
In the second quarter, Loose broke off a 39-yard rush, then followed up with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Brady Berger.
Fox said after the game, after years going against him, it was nice to have him on the same team.
"He's a great young man and that speaks highly of his program," Fox said. "He had a very good night and did some great things for us. It's great to have a player like that and it was nice being on the same side as him."
Fox also got the chance to coach Thompson one final time and was proud of the way he played against the top players in the state.
"He played well. He's always been an undersized defensive end and tonight he went against some huge linemen," Fox said. "He more than held his own against them and has nothing to hang his head about."
Overall, Fox said it was a great experience.
"It was a great football game, a lot of great athletes out there," he said. "Just an overall great experience to be around those athletes and coaches. It was great to be there and coach a kid like Jared one more time."

Child will testify in abuse case
6-year-old will appear in courtroom
March 1, 2013
A 6-year-old child who was allegedly forced to engage in sexual intercourse with a 64-year-old man will testify in the Randolph County Courthouse courtroom — not in a separate room via closed circui......
This is a sensational and untrue headline that further exploits an abused child. The child "may testify if the case goes to trial". C'mon IM, I know you're not going to win any Pulitzers but at least you could avoid creating false and attention getting headlines designed to sell newspapers.

Canada's National Contact Point (NCP) for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNEs)
Canada's NCP is an interdepartmental committee chaired by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). The role of the NCP is to promote awareness of the OECD Guidelines for MNEs (updated in 2011) as it relates to the social, economic and environmental impact of their activities on the societies in which they work. The NCP will offer a forum for discussion and assist the business community, employee organisations and other parties concerned to contribute to the resolution of issues that arise relating to implementation of the Guidelines in specific instances through dialogue-facilitation.
About the Guidelines
Through international direct investment, MNEs bring substantial benefits to home and host countries in the form of productive capital, managerial and technological know-how, job creation and tax revenues. At the same time, public concerns exist about the social, economic and environmental impact of MNE activities on the societies in which they operate.
The OECD Guidelines for MNEs address these concerns by providing recommendations on voluntary principles and standards for responsible business conduct, consistent with domestic and international laws. The Guidelines represent the only multilaterally-endorsed comprehensive code of conduct that 46 countries have committed to promote. The Guidelines address public concerns about the social, economic and environmental impact of MNE activities on the societies in which they work (including and beyond OECD area) and provide an important framework for business in advancing corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Although endorsed by adhering Governments, the Guidelines are voluntary and are not intended to override local laws and legislation. The Guidelines are not intended to introduce differences of treatment between MNEs and domestic enterprises – they reflect good practice for all.
The Guidelines are an integral part of the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises which also include elements directed at Governments to:
- accord national treatment to foreign-owned enterprises;
- promote cooperation among governments regarding incentives to attract international investment; and
- minimize conflicting requirements for MNEs.
MNEs recognize the value of adopting management strategies that promote responsible conduct as well as aligning their business objectives with community values. The National Contact Point provides a forum where MNEs, Canadian business, non-governmental and labour organizations can share best practices and voice their views and concerns on broad as well as specific instances.
Dialogue Facilitation - Procedure for Request for Review
The paper "The Role of the NCP in Helping to Resolve Issues" outlines the approach Canada's National Contact Point takes in helping to resolve issues that arise in relation to the Guidelines.
The Procedures Guide for Canada's NCP for the OECD Guidelines for MNEs outline the process that Canada's National Contact Point will follow when receiving a request for review of a specific instance under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Alert Elizabeth Gilbert!
Taking a page from the Eat, Pray, Love author's
playbook, Tyra Banks took a trip to Asia and found a new love.
"It's a total long-distance romance," a source reveals to PEOPLE of Banks's new Balinese love interest. "But it's a big deal."
Banks, who split with longtime boyfriend John Utendahl last fall, had gone to China shortly before the holidays to tape the latest season of America's Next Top Model.
She met her new man while traveling and after flying back to New York, she turned right around and flew back to Bali to spend the holidays with him, the source says.
A rep for Banks would not comment on her new romance.
