On the heels of Hamilton's hosting of the second annual International Wellbeing and Public Policy Conference earlier this June, it seems appropriate that a USA Today article, in which a Hamilton professor is quoted, should focus on the topic as it relates to college campuses generally.
In the article titled "Colleges tout well-being, not just job prospects" published on June 22, Dan Chambliss, co-author of How College Works, was quoted on the topic. Chambliss, the Eugene M. Tobin Distinguished Professor of Sociology , said, "The simple fact of using a student's first name seems to matter."
The article referenced the 10-year, Mellon Foundation-funded, longitudinal study of students on which his book is based. Christopher Takacs '05, his former student and current doctoral student at the University of Chicago, is his co-author.
Professor of Economics Stephen Wu was the facilitator for the Wellbeing and Public Policy Conference. He is also the co-editor of the International Journal of Wellbeing.

SALEM - City police are following up on leads regarding an early morning break-in and burglary at Downtown Gems & Jewels on East State Street Tuesday.
Det. Dave Talbert said witnesses described the suspect as a tall male with a thin build wearing a ski mask, hooded jacket and blue jeans, with the hood pulled over his head. According to the witnesses, they heard glass breaking and saw him exiting the store carrying two bags and some type of instrument or object in his hand.
He then entered a tan-colored sedan and fled east on East State Street at a high rate of speed. Witnesses only accounted for one person, noting the suspect was driving the vehicle.

Salem Police are asking anyone with information about the burglary to call the station at 330-337-7811. (Salem News photo by Kevin Howell)
Talbert said one of the witnesses actually approached him but didn't get close because they thought he might have a weapon besides what he had in his hand. Officers pursued the vehicle east but lost it in the area of Park Avenue.
Police initially received a call at 4:18 a.m. Tuesday from someone across the street at Circle K East in the 1100 block of East State Street reporting a breaking and entering in progress.
Officers arrived and found the front door window smashed out and display cases damaged. The key holder for the business responded and reported items missing.
Talbert wouldn't go into detail about what was taken, but said it was store merchandise. He said police had also responded for an activated alarm.
Anyone with information should contact Salem Police at 330-337-7811.

"Everything comes with a priceI'm taking control of my lifeWith two feet on the groundBuilding this dream of what I was meant to be"—"Late Bloomer," The Northstar SessionTRUCKEE, Calif. — The price for taking control of an up-and-coming, hard-working band is a relentless schedule of live shows up and down the West Coast and all across the country, 11 months out of the year. But with their collective two feet on the ground, the Northstar Session are out on the road, building up a devoted fan base and crafting a signature sound of rootsy, Americana-tinged pop.The Northstar Session is Matt Szlachetka on vocals and guitar; Kane McGee on vocals, drums, percussion and guitar; and Dave Basaraba on keyboards and vocals. The three came together in 2007 with the shared philosophy that music was their touchstone, their "Northstar," if you will.At first blush, you'll want to categorize the Northstar Session with post-country musical brethren the Avett Brothers (sans the banjo) or Dawes (if Dawes employed Beach Boy-caliber harmonies). Or Ryan Adams (without the temper tantrums). But the band has carved out a niche to call its own, melodic power pop that references all the right hallmarks: country-era Stones, the Band, Tom Petty. In fact "Echoes from the Canyon," its latest, a two-CD album recorded live in front of an audience of friends and family, is dedicated to Band drummer and singer Levon Helm, who died earlier this year from throat cancer. The 16 songs on the new album are a fair representation of the band's catalog of four full-length albums, plus a handful of covers that have been in rotation in the live shows.Lake Tahoe Action spoke on the phone with Matt Szlachetka about the new album, during a rare break in touring. Szlachetka was cleaning out his email inbox, listening to Steely Dan and getting ready to hit the road once again."The fans demanded it," Szlachetka said of the driving force behind the recording of "Echoes." "They kept asking why some of the songs we play live weren't on any of the albums."Fan favorites such as covers of the Band's "I Shall Be Released" and Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" are included here, as well as a haunting version of Tom Petty's "Crawling Back to You."The warm and intimate sound of the impeccably produced album "plays just like a night in the Cottonwood Fireplace Room," according to Mike Blide, owner of Cottonwood Restaurant in Truckee, a frequent stop on the TNS tour schedule.Album versions of the songs played live on "Echoes" feature elaborate production, strings, horns. "We wanted to better represent what the songs actually sound like when we play them live," said Szlachetka.Of the recent CD release party in Los Angeles, Szlachetka said, "It was good to play for a bunch of hometown folks we don't normally get to play for lately because we're always on the road." The hometown glow is short-lived, however. TNS is on the road yet again, stopping in Tahoe, their adopted home away from home. Catch them Friday night at Cottonwood Restaurant and at Northstar California on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Q: How many days out of the month are you on the road?A: It usually breaks down to three weeks each month on the road. The past two years we have toured 11 months out of the year. We usually stop in December to take a break and spend time with family/friends and re-charge for the upcoming year.2) What make and model is the official TNS Mobile?A: 1997 Nissan Pathfinder, two-wheel standard/manual transmission SE model. We just hit 250,000 miles this past August driving over Mount Hood, Ore., on our Northwest tour.3) Do you get much downtime while on the road? What do you do to decompress?A: Not much but when I do I like to go running, read, catch up with family/friends and if I get a lot of downtime, write and play music.4) Is there a certain one of you who does the bulk of the driving?A: I do most of it. Kane drives a little as well.5) What are you guys listening to on the road nowadays?A: Anything that keeps our interest. (Laughs). Some of the albums I can think of that are in the car are:Tedeschi-Trucks Band: "Everybody's Talkin',"John Mayer: "Born And Raised,"Eagles: "Hotel California,"Eagles: "Desperado,"Black Keys: "El Camino,"Elton John: "Honky Chteau,"Lucinda Williams: "Blessed,"Dr. John: "Locked Down,"Graham Parsons: "Anthology,"Pete Droge: "Find A Door."There's more, but I can't remember the rest right now.6) Do you ever get in fights over who gets to play DJ?A: Nope, we just try to listen to stuff that we haven't heard a million times. We actually just started burning mp3/data CDs so we can have mix CDs with 150-200 songs on them. 7) Do you guys rehearse in the car?A: Not yet, but it would be fun.8) Any speeding tickets? Have you ever had to play the "I'm a rock star!" card to charm a patrolwoman out of a citation?A: Nope, I'm a very careful driver. ... Knock on wood.

Effects of the Human Body on Single-Layer Wearable Antennas
Kellomäki, Tiiti
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2012-03-23
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;1025

The effect of the human body on wearable off-body communication antennas is studied in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Special emphasis is on single-layer structures, with metallisation in one layer only. In particular, the effect of the antenna--body-separation distance is studied extensively. The results are based on measurements of fabricated antennas worn by human subjects, as well as measurement and simulation results available in the literature. A transition region is found between 200 and 500 MHz. Below this region, the posture and size of the human body are the key parameters to determine the resonant frequency of the antenna. Because the body is thin compared to the penetration depth, the radiation pattern of a body-worn antenna can be omnidirectional since the body does not shadow the backwards radiation. Above the transition region, the body size and posture and the placement of the antenna on the body do not affect the input impedance or the resonant frequency, but the key parameter to determine the performance is the antenna--body-separation. The radiation pattern always includes a deep null because the radiation cannot penetrate the body. To ease the comparison of different wearable antenna structures, new figures of merit are proposed: Detuning percentage gives the relative difference of the centre frequencies between the body-worn and the free-space case. Usable bandwidth describes the frequency band that fulfills certain specifications in all use conditions. Crossover distance indicates the distance where the forward gain on-body equals the free-space gain--a small crossover distance indicates that the antenna is well suited for body-worn use. As a rule of thumb, the user should be kept at a minimum distance of wavelength/(2*pi) from a wearable single-layer antenna. At this distance, the input impedance and forward gain equal their free-space values, and the body-worn efficiency is between 60% and 80%. The reflection from the body can be utilised to increase the forward gain especially above 2 GHz. Single-layer topologies with quickly decaying near-fields should be preferred to dipole-like structures. It is concluded that, contrary to common belief, both single- and multilayer antenna topologies are feasible as wearable antennas. Both approaches should be considered when the antenna topology for a wearable system is selected. Single-layer antennas are especially useful in situations where the size of the antenna is restricted.

Unfortunately yes drop down and work back up.
Anytime you change a component drop back, the only exception is if you are already at or very near the starting charge weight.
May 12, 2012, 10:38 PM
I'm at the limit.
Ok, will do. Thanks!
May 12, 2012, 11:47 PM
In my loading world I usually drop 5% off the powder charge to accommodate the extra fire of a magnum primer. But that's what I've worked out with my load data.
Since you're at the max, I'd err on the side of caution and work it back up. Keep good notes in case it happens again or there happens to be another run on components where regular primers are in short supply. Versatility is good. ;)
May 13, 2012, 12:09 AM
Generally speaking, magnum primers will increase chamber pressure by igniting the charge faster. As stated, you should drop it back a bit. Don't really need to work up from minimum, but I'd go right in the middle between min and max.
May 13, 2012, 01:39 AM
Just asking, why are you loading at the max limit?
May 13, 2012, 09:39 AM
Just asking, why are you loading at the max limit?
That was going to be my question too.
What caliber, bullet, powder and charge weight are you loading?
May 13, 2012, 10:24 AM
I made a similar mistake when I was loading some very light 40 S&W loads (180 gr. bullets at ca 725-750 fps) and did not recognize that the box of primers I purchased were magnum instead of normal. When I chronohraphed those loads they were ca 10-20 fps faster than those with normal primers. I would not use them if the cartridges I loaded were at the upper end or max of the powder manufacturers data.
May 13, 2012, 10:42 AM
Just asking, why are you loading at the max limit?
I have to ask why not? The world does not end at the max shown in a loading manual. It's a reference point and it's not set in stone. I've had many instances using Varget where I needed to increase the charge by 1.5 gr to get the velocity advertised. So far this is the only powder that has done that to me.
May 13, 2012, 11:17 AM
I agree you can go beyond max in most books with most guns. I tend to be +/- 1gr of min for most of my rifle loads & just barley over min with most pistols. Except for one of my SD loads & that is because I need to push them pretty hard to get them to open. I could switch to a slower. Powder but they shoot so good & recoil is smooth. I'm about 1.2gr over with that load.
I don't see a difference with mags but it is possible that you could get better ignition so doesn't hurt to be safe.
May 13, 2012, 01:03 PM
I have loaded up to the max in .308 Win using Lyman's data for SMK 175s and the Hornady AMax 178s. I found a slight increase in velocity, a slight decrease in accuracy, and a significant increase in perceived recoil.
Didn't see the point in loading at or above the max just to receive an extra beating at the expense of accuracy...then again, I am not shooting an elk. If I were, I might load up to the max load, but white tails are easy to bring down.
May 13, 2012, 02:33 PM
That was going to be my question too.
What caliber, bullet, powder and charge weight are you loading?
Why am I loading at max?
Should I not be doing this? I mean, they work, the rounds have a sufficient feel to them so that's what I've been going with. I'll admit I don't know anything about ballistics or velocities or any of the science behind it, I simply know that they work, but I'd be interested in hearing arguments against doing so.

Juvenile and not THR.
Loading to maximum is a choice. Most people find their gun's "sweet spot" for accuracy somewhere between minimum and maximum. Kingmt (post #10) has found his bullets' terminal performance "sweet spot" above max, but presumably has searched for pressure signs and found none, so for his gun, that is OK.
I imagine that if a ballistics lab worked up loads using Kingmt's gun, the max load would be at his load or maybe even higher. Each gun is unique and its own max load might be above or even below the "book" max. That is why we start low and work up.
Anyhow, the boldfaced part is the argument against loading at max. There is another argument (for those who have more than one gun in the same chambering) to be made for not using any load at or even near max that has not had that load worked up in that individual gun.

If I remember correctly, I started loading at the minimum and when I shot it, it felt really weak compared to the factory ammo I had shot, so I went ahead and maxed it and it seemed about the same power as the factory ammo.
I also used this site as a reference. It seemed like a lot of people, using the same powder and similar bullets, were using much higher gains that I were and they said it worked fine, so I figured I was safe at 5.6. I never even tried to find this "sweet spot" you speak of. Maybe I should go back and do that?

Nothing wrong with loading to max, and remember that it is not written in stone that the max is really the max safe load. You may find an instance where you can't shoot a max load from a manual without pressure signs, and you may have an instance like I mentioned where you have to go beyond max. The trick is you work up to that load. It's nice to have a chronograph for this reason and read the cases.

The reason I load for accuracy and not velocity is that a hit with a .22 short is better than a miss with a 20mm cannon. Who cares how fast a round is if it's not accurate?
May 13, 2012, 03:34 PM
I load for accuracy, and usually thats far below max. I get more loads per pound of powder, my brass lasts longer, usually as much as 100 reloads per case in .223. And guess what? The paper target dies just as quickly and without suffering. But as always YMMV.
May 13, 2012, 04:09 PM
I want to load for accuracy too, so maybe I should start from scratch?
Btw, keep in mind that I'm loading to the max according to one manual. Apparently others put the max for my components at 6.0 grains, so on that scale, I'm not at max.
I think what i'll do is make 20 rounds per varying load, try them out, see what groups the best then go with that.
May 13, 2012, 06:17 PM

The paper target dies just as quickly and without suffering. But as always YMMV. You're a minority, every rifle cartridge I own gives its best accuracy very close to the max loading. It suspect it has a lot to do with air space in the case though I can't vouch for that.
That's rifles, pistols are different. There are a lot of things that effect the accuracy of a pistol.

The "sweet spot" thing is more applicable to rifles than to handguns. Supreme accuracy is more apparent ar rifle distances than at handgun distances. Which are you loading for? (When I posted my earlier answer you had not provided the clue of the 1911forum link.)
Finding the sweet spot for a rifle involves some experimentation and sorting out barrel harmonics (also known as "barrel whip") other esoterica that is, frankly, beyond me. But truly worth it when you find a load that turns your 2" 100 yard groups into half-inch groups.
I forgot one point about why people often shy away from the maximum load. Powders burn at a rate that depends on the pressure. Outside that range, they (may) burn erratically. In most firearms and for most powders, the optimal, most uniformly burning pressure will be found between the high and low extremes. Consult the science of "Internal Ballistics" for more detail.
For that reason, many (not all, by any means, but at least some), if they find the bullet velocity that is most accurate in their barrel and discover that it is at the high end of the powder charge range, will switch to a powder that delivers that velocity closer to the middle of the charge range and search for the sweet spot with that charge weight.
For handguns, the reasoning is probably more for safety, and this applies to rifles as well. A slight overcharge (it happens) if you are already at pressures approaching the limits of safety is more dangerous than a slight overcharge if you are in the middle pressures.
In closing, the search for the perfect load is like tuning anything. Arranging the perfectly composed photograph or flower arrangement. Tuning dual SU carburetors so finely that you can balance a nickle on a 4-cylinder engine idling at 300 rpm. I was not able to do that last one, by the way, but the search for it was reward enough. If you can understand the quest for the impossible, you owe it to yourself to try doing it, if not with your firearms, with something.

Like I said in a post above, I get my best accuracy +/- 1gn of min.
As far as the load worked. Yes. My pistol is a tank & the slide is very havey. There is no +P data for this powder but I doubt it is over that. It is also my SD round so it isn't likly any more will be shot through it.
I normally load where it just does function the slide. No need to beat up my guns for no reason.
You can't check pressure by felt recoil. I also wouldn't strive for factory loads. I shot one the other week 9mm 187 fps.

Joed, I know that you know that filling the case (or even having a compressed load) is NOT the same as the maximum load, but some readers could misinterpret your post.
And, yes, having empty (air) space in a case can make a HUGE difference, in velocity at least. I have observed this first hand myself simply because of powder position within the case. Some shooters deliberately pick powders that not only are mid-pressure range, but case-filling as well just for that reason. Others simply fill the empty space in the case with an inert filler.
Muzzle loader shooters are, of course, not concerned with air space because with their loads there never is any.

Actually, when I agreed with the question, "Just asking, why are you loading at the max limit?" I read it too fast and thought the question was, "Just asking, what are you loading at the max limit?" That's why my next question was, "What caliber, bullet, powder and charge weight are you loading?"
September 25, 2012, 10:02 PM
Decided that I would try this load. I was hoping to post it here and see if anyone thinks I have too high of a load. Just trying to be safe here.

45 ACPs tend to do the best with 230gr right around 800fps for accuracy. With Magnum primers I'd start at 4.7 or 4.8 and work towards 5.0-5.1

Also, what is your COAL? COAL has a great deal to do with pressure and velocity.
September 26, 2012, 10:13 AM
I guess my reloading doesn't get all that technical. I just seat them under the max legnth listed in my manual.
How would I know if I'm getting 800fps? I'm guessing it involves math of some sort.
September 26, 2012, 10:15 AM
Chronographs are the only accurate way, but the loading manuals are pretty accurate for most people, so its usually pretty good if you match their data.
September 26, 2012, 10:38 AM
Ok, I'll bullet-pull the ones I made with 5.4 and dial it back a bit. Thanks!
September 26, 2012, 10:40 AM
You can shoot em, nothing is dangerous, and there are variations from pistol to pistol. The 800fps 230gr is more of just a standard over time. 5.4 is max with normal primers, but the pressure is not scary at all. If you have enough extras around, just shoot em and dial it back.
September 26, 2012, 10:44 AM
I only made four at 5.4. I just don't want to damage the gun.
September 26, 2012, 10:48 AM
It won't damage the gun at that load, unless your COAL is like 1.170, then possible.
September 26, 2012, 11:03 AM
I don't remember offhand but I believe it's 1.65 or somewhere around there. That's assuming I have the def of COAL correct. It's the overall length of the cartridge, correct?

It is like golf ...... less is more. Less force better result. Unfortunately we live in an age which requires that we max everything. This obsession is both destructive and counterproductive. I could not care how fast you bullet is but how well you shoot.
My 30-06 loads are below the suggested speed but work great in my rifle ....... they are almost always sub MOA at 100yds.

Ok, so we're looking at in the neighborhood of 1.268 COAL. I've decided to scale it back to 4.7. Sound ok?
September 26, 2012, 07:44 PM
I made six rounds using 4.7 and six rounds using 5.1. I'll try them both and see which one is more accurate.
As far as safety goes, I should be well within the safe zone, correct?

Ok, so we're looking at in the neighborhood of 1.268 COAL. I've decided to scale it back to 4.7. Sound ok?
Using that OAL you don't even need to pull the bullets you made with 5.4gr since Hodgdon lists an OAL of 1.200". I also feel you don't need to drop back to 4.7gr, starting at 5.0gr will be fine. Even though magnum primers will burn slightly longer and slightly hotter than standard primers they don't create a nuclear explosion.

Overall length is measured from base of the case to tip of the bullet. But that is not REALLY what you want to measure. Unfortunately, that is the only thing we CAN measure.
The real measurement you want is the volume inside the case.
The length from web to bullet base is a proxy measurement for that volume. But we can't measure that directly.
The overall length of the cartridge is a proxy for THAT measurement.
The overall length of the cartridge can vary considerably based on the shape of the nose. If you have a perfectly round nose profile vs a more elongated curve vs a spitzer point you can easily see that overall length is an imperfect proxy.
Fortunately, 45 ACP bullets don't vary that much in shape. But hollowpoints will make a difference.
So, as promised, I will get technical now.
If you have a bullet of a given weight and load data (including OAL) for a differently shaped bullet of the same weight, it might be worthwhile to find the different in actual bullet length and adjust the recipe's OAL to account for that difference.
Reloading isn't rocket science, but it does involve smoke and flame and things that go terribly fast. Pay attention to detail and you will be fine.
Your caution about shooting the few cartridges you feel are heavily loaded is commendable.
On the good side, the 45 ACP is a fairly low-pressure cartridge developed over 100 years ago and modern guns are built of a bit stronger metal than back then. Your loads are probably good to go as long as the internal volume is not too small. But only cartridges? Pull them. It's good practice and a good practice. You don't have to punch out the old primers. Just re-bell the case mouths, charge the cases and seat/crimp the bullets.

Magnum pistol primers make extra pressure like 0.7 gr extra powder.
They do not make extra velocity like .7 gr extra powder.
With 9mm, 38sp, and .223, there are huge amounts of safety margin, so it does not matter much.
But stock 1911 barrels in 45acp sometimes are getting close to the case bulge.
The 45acp case web is 0.18" thick.
Some 1911 barrels have .235" of feed ramp intrusion.
That makes for .055" of thin unsupported case wall.
The case wall is ~ .015" thick, and so we have a bridge over a hole that is 4 times wider than it is thick. That wants to blow a bubble.
If some "gunsmith" modified the barrel with a Dremell or Fordham rotary tool turning Cratex rubber bits with embedded abrasive to "polish the feed ramp", then thing may be worse.
Friendly, Don't Fire!
September 27, 2012, 05:15 AM
All this could be easily settled by using a chronograph and comparing like bullets to like bullets of the same weight.
If your bullets are not traveling anywhere near as fast as some factory loads, then you can most likely use the primers with your loads without issue. You may even find that your bullets WITH magnum primers do not meet the velocities of some factory ammo.
Some factory ammo is especially HOT.
September 27, 2012, 05:44 PM
Thanks for your help everyone. Hopefully I can find that sweet spot.
September 29, 2012, 01:34 PM
Just a quick update. 4.7 wasn't very accurate, but 5.0 was fantastic. I think I'll go with that.

Q:Dear friends - I find your color names for this product really confusing.
I would guess that Toasted Copper refers to the browner color, but I'm not sure, because Espresso
could apply to that as well. Is the black rod called Espresso? And is it actually the color
of espresso (very deep brown), or is it really black black, which it appears to be?
I will most likely want to order these this weekend, so please let me know!
Also would suggest you make it possible to tell without having to write in for clarification!

Freshman Noah Beh's combination of size and athletic ability had Scranton Prep football coach Nick Donato thinking he could have a pretty good player on his team, providing he could keep Beh on his team.
"We didn't even know if he was going to stay with us for four years," Donato said.
"Before high school, I only played football for about three years," Beh said. "My uncle, he gave me the idea to play. I really wasn't sure about it, because I've always been a basketball player. I just decided to give it a try."
It turned out that the Beh liked the aggressive side and the team aspect of his new sport. He worked hard and came back to Donato the next year far exceeding his coach's expectations.
In fact, Beh, now 6-foot-6 and nearly 260 pounds, has become such a good prospect that several BCS-level colleges offered him scholarships. He announced on Saturday that he intended to attend Penn State.
Beh was recruited by the Nittany Lions as an offensive tackle, picking Penn State over Boston College. He's the 10th member of their 2014 recruiting class and probably will be the only offensive lineman in a class limited to 15 players.
Beh committed while on a visit to Penn State's Advanced Skills Camp with his father. It was his third visit to University Park.
"Coach O'Brien and Coach Mac [McWhorter] definitely are a big part of it," Beh said of his decision to pick Penn State, which was made before the trip. "I started great relationships with them. I started visiting, thinking more about it. Pretty much the whole thing really attracted me."
He said Syracuse probably was his third choice. Pitt, UConn, Maryland and Temple were his other biggest offers. Beh received his Penn State offer while at Penn State on Feb. 23 for a junior day.
"I really wasn't a big fan [growing up], but that was pretty special offer to get an offer, especially with their numbers cut short," Beh said. "I didn't go there expecting to get an offer, but I was lucky enough to get one."
Beh is a good enough athlete that he is rated a top-30 tackle by one scouting service and a top-30 defensive end by another; he said more colleges were recruiting him for defense than offense. He led the Class AAA Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers in sacks and helped them rush for more than 200 yards starting at guard - he's expected to play offensive tackle at Scranton Prep this fall.
As a junior, he was Scranton Times Tribune all-region and first team Lackawanna Football Conference on the defensive line.
"He's very athletic with a tremendous amount of flexibility," Donato said of Beh, who reportedly runs the 40-yard dash in 4.85 seconds. "I think, at the college level, his potential is that much bigger."
The big question surrounding Beh has been whether he can put on enough weight to be an effective lineman in the Big Ten. However, he's already put on 20 pounds since the beginning of his junior football season and said that, even though the coaches haven't pressed him about it, getting bigger is one of his primary focuses for before he enrolls in college.
Donato doesn't think it will be a problem for Beh. Beh's father is a 6-6, 290-pound former semi-pr o football player with the Scranton Eagles.
"Once he gets in a big-time program with the training table and a Division I weight training program, he has a lot of room to put weight on," Donato said.
Beh will turn 18 in November, but fans on the Internet have commented on how much older he appears in his photos. Beh laughed and said he gets that sometimes.
"I don't think that's the photos," Beh said. "I just think that's the way it is."
Still a youngster in respect to football, though, Beh continues to work hard on improving his game, working out, going to camps and watching pro players to try to be ready when he's a Nittany Lion.
"I'm going to work on everything, basically: putting on some size, learning more about the position, just trying to be the best I can," Beh said. "Being a lineman's a lot harder than people think, but it's great. Football is such a team sport, and there's not much better than winning a football game. I love the kids I play with. I love the coaches. I've just had a great experience. It's been teaching me a lot."

I like to pair this soup with crusty bread and a green salad tossed in a creamy dressing, for a casual, hearty vegetarian meal.
The alliance of tomatoes, lentils, and fresh herbs is so very pleasing. The soup actually improves when made in advance, allowing the flavors a chance to marry. Serve this for dinner tonight and save the leftovers for a quick lunch during the coming weekend.
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 c. finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 c. vegetable stock or canned chicken stock
2/3 c. dried brown lentils, rinsed
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
¼ c. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp. minced fresh thyme, or 1 tsp. dried
1 tbsp. snipped fresh dill, or 1 tsp. dried
1 tbsp. minced fresh tarragon, or 1 tsp. dried
1 tsp. fresh sweet marjoram, or ¼ tsp. dried
½ tsp. freshly ground pepper, or to taste
One 28-ounce can tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juice
Salt to taste
Sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley or thyme for garnish
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock, lentils, carrots, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, stir together the tomato paste, parsley, thyme, dill, tarragon, marjoram, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Stir in the tomatoes with juice. Add 1 cup of the soup liquid to the tomato paste mixture and stir until smooth; add to the soup and stir gently until heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Hi, I'm Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. It's safe to say I've had a lot going on since I joined the NFL. Taking my team to the Super Bowl? No sweat! Ok, well, maybe a little sweat but taking on a health and wellness challenge for millions of young people across America? Now that's a competition.
This year, I've teamed up with United Way and NFL PLAY 60 for the ultimate challenge—motivating millions of kids in this country to get up and get moving for at least 60 minutes a day. But like winning a championship, this isn't a one-man job. So I'm putting the ball in your hands, America. Help us show kids the importance of daily exercise and healthy habits by taking the Healthy Kids Pledge to help United Way get 1.9 million more kids active and healthy by 2018.
You don't have to play professional football or start a passing academy to inspire action. You can help model the way by your own example. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Less sitting, more sit-ups. Don't just watch sports—play one. You'd be surprised how quickly it adds up to 60. That's it, 60 minutes a day. That's like one episode of your favorite show.
We simply cannot do this without you. So take the pledge and dive into this site to discover ways to get involved. Tell us how you're helping at #howIPlay60.
Thanks for living united,

Hey All Laxers!
Sorry for the long gap since I last blogged but times are a little crazy with the high school season down here in Florida in full swing. Just for a quick update Pine Crest is 7-5 and really starting to shown signs of a higher level of consistent play.
Consistency is something we have struggled with all year, but last Friday we had our first big win of the season beating St. Thomas Aquinas 13-9. I was really proud of the effort the kids gave.
The MLL season is just weeks away a preseason training is going well. I have begun conditioning and lifting as this year will prove to be a tough training camp with the revamped rosters. It will be really exciting to see the level of play the MLL puts on the field this year. Every team is an all star team.
Hofstra Lax, as an alum I feel it necessary to point out the HOT start the Pride are having this year. The last two years of losing close games, seems to have turned into winning 1 goal games this year. I wish Seth Tierney and Joe Amplo the best of luck the rest of the way. Good job guys!!!!!

Wednesday, September 11, 2013
If anyone happened to overhear Summerville Coach John McKissick after the Green Wave's 43-20 win over Berkeley last Friday night at BHS, they would think the scoreboard had the numbers wrong.
"They beat the tar out of us," the legendary coach said. "They outgained us and they had more first downs than we did."
McKissick held up three fingers.
"We had three big plays, that's it," he said.
The three big plays McKissick referenced were three big touchdowns: A 77-yard catch and run touchdown pass from Sawyer Bridges to Darin Smalls, a 71-yard fourth quarter punt return, again by Smalls, and a dagger-to-the-heart 56-yard run up the middle by David Coccoli.
"We played our butts off out there," Berkeley Head Coach Jeff Cruce said. "We have nothing to hang our heads about. We established our running game and we put points on the board.
"Take away those three big plays and we're in this football game."
It's the big plays though, that continue to haunt the Stags in the season's early going. Including the pre-season scrimmages and the season opener against Stratford, those plays include six touchdowns resulted from kicking team miscues, and four from interceptions. The silver lining around this dark cloud is there were no bad snaps on punts and except for the one punt return late for a score, the kicking game and special teams play was solid against Summerville.
"We kicked a pair of field goals and improved in the special teams area," Cruce said.
Kicker Vance Bailey is perfect from the field, nailing three field goals in three attempts over two games.
In the first quarter the Green Wave took command and marched 60 yards on five plays on its first possession, culminating in a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sawyer Bridges to big tight end Sean Smith.
Berkeley answered quickly when Joseph Dress scored on a 55-yard run, a play action fake that fooled just about everybody on the field, on the sidelines and the 4,000 fans packing the Bonner Stadium stands. Bailey's kick put the Stags on top 7-6.
The Green Wave answered with a 20-point second quarter that threatened to put the game away before halftime. Jacerie Ponder scored on an 8-yard run at the 11:01 mark of the quarter to make the score 12-7.
Three minutes later Bridges connected with his second TD pass of the night, a 77-yard catch and run to Darin Smalls. David Kennedy's PAT was good and Summerville went up by a 19-7 score.
Bridges would set up the Green Wave's third touchdown of the second quarter with an 11-yard pass to his tight end Smith and then take matters into his own hands to score on a one-yard plunge to make the score 26-7 with less than five minutes remaining in the first half.
The Stags would not go down without a fight, though, as Josh Simmons picked off a Bridges pass deep in Berkeley territory. He returned the interception 56 yards to the Summerville 20.
Dress nearly scored his second touchdown of the night with a 16-yard run to the four-yard line, but was hurt on the play and did not see action the rest of the night.
The drive stalled at the goal line and Bailey knocked a 21-yard field goal through the uprights with 11.5 seconds remaining on the clock.
"He got banged up a little on the play," Cruce said of his quarterback's injury. "He'll be fine for next week. Matthew Harkness did an excellent job in his place. He played well."
As it did in the Stratford game, the Stags defense stepped it up in the third quarter, shutting down the Green Wave offense as Berkeley battled back to cut the score to 26-17 on an 18-yard run by Josh Sellers with 1:52 left in the third quarter.
Early in the fourth quarter, Summerville kicker David Kennedy snatched the Stags' momentum away when he drilled a 44-yard field goal to make the score 29-17 at the 10:24 mark.
It all went down hill from there for the gold-attired Stags.
Smalls followed with his third TD of the night, the 77-yard punt return at the 7:51 mark to make the score 36-17.
Bailey drilled his second field goal of the night, a 36-yard kick to close the gap to 36-20 with a little less than six minutes remaining in the game.
Three plays later tailback David Coccoli ripped off a 55-yard scoring run untouched up the middle to put the game on ice 43-20.
"We're improving," Cruce said. "We corrected some mistakes we were making early on. Our primary goal was to come in and establish the running game, and we did that.
"Our kicking game and special teams play improved. I'm proud of our kids. We gave up some big plays but we have the makings of a good football team."
McKissick, who picked up his 604th career win, agreed.
"We had three big plays and that was the difference," he said. "They moved the ball up and down the field at will. Our big plays were the difference.
"It's as simple as that."
The Green Wave improved to 2-0 and play Goose Creek on Friday. The Stags dropped to 0-2 and host Cane Bay.
McKissick said his Green Wave had better be ready when the Gators come to call. "We have to play better," he said.
For the Stags, Cane Bay marks their third straight Class AAAA opponent of the season, sixth if the pre-season scrimmages are included.
"We will have played three AAAA schools so far this year," Cruce said. "We had scrimmages against Wando, Beaufort and Goose Creek. Then Goose Creek again at Sertoma, and we start the season against Stratford, Summerville and now Cane Bay."
The Stags will be ready, he added: "It's always a big game when Berkeley plays Cane Bay."

Costco has since closed this loophole so you'll need a Costco Membership to get gas there.
A friend of mine just tipped me off on this trick where you can buy gas at Costco without a Costco membership. All you have to do is swipe an American Express card first, when you would normally swipe your membership card, and then swipe it again for payment. Afterwards, it will let you buy the sweet sweet nectar of condensed dinosaur bones at rock bottom prices without the $50/year membership. It's that simple.
Normally, you have to swipe your Costco Card or the American Express Costco TrueEarnings card [3] in order to authenticate in their gas station systems. It appears that you can simply use any American Express card in the authentication phase because the American Express Costco TrueEarnings card is just an AMEX with a Costco bar code.
I've confirmed that this works in Maryland and others have reported success in other states (except those that require an attendant to pump your gas, like New Jersey and Oregon). Locate a Costco nearby [4] (check to make sure it has a Gas Station) and give it a try, Costco gas is usually many cents cheaper than local competitors.

U.S. labor expansion likely to remain tepid
Years ago, I worked for a small consulting firm of about 12 employees. To ease the workload, I had a discussion with my boss about hiring. He explained the decision on adding personnel. He mentioned his simple rule of the "return on labor investment." A well-run, healthy company will find a good return when an employee brings in three times his income. This covers total labor costs plus provides some profit, an important item in any business. When he or she brings in only twice the set wage, labor costs are about equal to return. Anything less will require the employer to seriously consider layoffs, depending on future business forecasts. Tax increases have little to no effect on hiring.
One can see the only reason for additional hires is the return on wages. This is why the U.S. labor expansion is tepid. Many international companies increase their labor oversees, where one might pay $1, not $15, per hour, assuring a good return on wages paid. Taxes are like all overhead costs and will require decision making uninvolved with job creation. I have heard time and again that if you want to make more money, get more people to work for you, but the new employee must do more than pay for himself. So much for the multimillionaire "job creators" worried about their tax rate.

On Oct. 30 at approximately 10:49 a.m. the Mount Pleasant Police Department received a call regarding shots being fired in the area of Dingle Road off of Hwy. 17. Upon arrival they located a green, 2001, Buick Century sedan at the end of Dingle Road and a black male victim, deceased, in the driver's seat. The Charleston County Sheriff's Office was immediately notified due to the incident location being in the Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction. Witnesses say they saw three black males running from the scene. Two of the black males were described as being approximately 5'09" and 150 pounds; one wearing a red shirt with black shorts and the other wearing a green shirt and black shorts. The third male is described as being of a larger build than the other two and wearing a white shirt and tan shorts. Charleston County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit responded to the scene to aid in searching for the suspects and Mt. Pleasant K-9 officers conducted a search of the area as well.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — A 23-year-old local man faces charges of vehicular manslaughter and child endangerment after he allegedly caused a fatal motorcycle accident Monday afternoon in Folsom, Calif.
Kaman Tate Hobbs, 23, of Truckee, was driving a green Volkswagen sedan at about 2 p.m. westbound on Greenback Lane near Negro Bar State Park when he turned into the path of an eastbound motorcycle ridden by 41-year-old Shane Curtis Clark, according to the Folsom Police Department.
Clark was unable to avoid a collision. He was thrown from the motorcycle and was struck by a white van traveling eastbound on Greenback Lane.
When police arrived, they found four off-duty California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officers administering aid to Clark. Despite their efforts and those of first responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hobbs was operating the Volkswagen while holding a suspended California driver's license, police said. Further, Hobbs' young son was in the vehicle and not properly restrained.
Hobbs was arrested and booked into Sacramento County Sheriff's Office jail on charges of vehicular manslaughter, child endangerment, driving with a suspended license and probation violation.
There is no indication of wrongdoing on the part of the driver of the van, police said.

What is Religious Freedom?
The framers of the United States Constitution knew that freedom of expression forms the basis of a democratic society. The Enlightenment idea of the common man having the right to not only consciously make decisions, but to openly make them known without repercussions is what set early democracies apart from their monarchial counterparts. Being a product of Enlightenment ideas, the US and its Constitution had to give citizens the right of expression, which includes freedom of thought, speech, religion and many others. These rights were guaranteed to US citizens by the Bill of Rights, a set of 10 amendments to the Constitution that laid out the civil rights guaranteed to all. From the first amendment come the lines which will be the focus of this essay:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of Religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
This "Freedom of Religion clause" makes the US government the sole custodian and protector of religion in the United States. Just as justice is blind in the courts, the government is blind to any single religion. Congress is bound to make no law pertaining to a religion or a group of religions while excluding others, but also never limit religious expression as a whole. Through these general protections of religion, those who choose to practice no religion are also protected. Because Congress cannot promote religion unless it promotes every religion, someone who has no religion can entirely avoid the practice of religion, and has a right to do so.
In the US today, the "Freedom of Religion" clause is most commonly invoked in arguments pertaining to scientific education in public schools. The topic on which the debate is most heated is that of the origins of species. Many feel that the narrative of the origins of species as found in the Bible, the holy book of the largest religion in the US, should be taught alongside Darwin's theory of Evolution through natural selection. Darwin's theory, published in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, is the most widely accepted scientific theory about the origin of the Earth's massively diverse flora and fauna. Although those that support this dual education do call upon the "Freedom of Religion" clause to support their view, the clause itself is what prevents religious ideas from permeating US public schools and classrooms. Not only would teaching Christian doctrine in a public school be obviously "respecting" the Christian religion, but it would infringe upon the rights of students to choose to practice a different religion or none at all. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were set up in such a way so that the will of the majority, through voting, cannot take away the rights of the minority. US citizens must take a clear look at what freedom of religion really means, and how much they are really willing to promote their beliefs over others' rights.

The True Meaning of "Freedom of Religion"
Today the United States is a very diverse country with many immigrants coming in every year; some may say that it is a melting pot. Being that people historically come from all ends of the word many religions are observed in the U.S., however it was not always that way. The founders that worked so hard to establish this country had to go through many religious struggles. After many were mutilated, pilloried, exiled, and even killed by the British Crown, people began to run to the New World in search of religious freedom ("First Amendment"). Thus the first amendment was born; in 1791 the clause was written to protect the freedom of religion ("First Amendment: Free Exercise Clause…"). It ensured that everyone had the right to practice their beliefs.
Ever since the colonists broke away from England's controlling monarchy the idea that man was entitled to natural rights influenced the Constitution. Through the years the idea of freedom of religion has been tested by many religions. Issues such as the Civil Rights movement, or, more recent issues like abortion, and the legalization of gay marriages have tested the people's religion as versatile beliefs clashed.
In the Civil Rights movement there were two clashing beliefs: one was the belief that African Americans were inferior to their Caucasian counterparts; the other was the belief that "all men were created equal." The conflict was brutal, black people either reacted to the white stubborn attitude with acts of violence or peaceful protest. It is struggles like this event in history that truly shows how different beliefs clash. Violence and religion played some part, whether it was a prayer or the burning of a cross, or once the fight was over a special thanks to God through different beliefs. Religion is what got African Americans through most of their tough times such as the civil rights movement. If they were not able to practice their belief in times such as the civil rights movement life would have been so much harder. It still does.
Separation of church and state is very important because it helps to take a lot of religious conflict out of governmental issues. The idea that everyone has the right to exercise and enjoy any religion or to worship without discrimination may not seem like such a "big deal" to some, but it is very significant. We the people have come a long way, from a time when we were forced to observe the religion of the crown. To this very day the freedom of religion is still as important as it was back then.
Think of the struggles and conflicts that we go through today; it could be far worst if the first amendment was never drafted. Homosexuals would probably be prosecuted for attempting to get married. The church would probably continue to have a huge role in the government. Life would be more complicated, it would be just like life prior to the colonies. "Freedom of religion" is truly a gift, a natural right.

The inalienable right to religious freedom is guaranteed to the American citizens in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Each American citizen retains this right, and with that right comes the American ideal of freedom. America has been a haven for people persecuted because of their religious beliefs, starting with the Mayflower Pilgrims in the 1600s. Through the centuries, America has been a religious melting pot. People have fled from religious persecution to live safely under the umbrella of religious freedom the American Constitution provides: Puritans from Britain, Jewish people from Germany, and ethnic groups from the Sudan are a few examples. The First Amendment phrase "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" means that government cannot stop law-abiding religious practices, and they cannot put priority or emphasis on a certain religion.
The beauty of the First Amendment is that not only can Americans choose their place of worship, but also the decision to adopt or renounce a religion lies with the citizens. If a Jewish person wants to become Christian, or vice versa, the government cannot prevent this in any way. The First Amendment legislates tolerance for all religions, because the government cannot enact restrictions concerning specific religious groups. An example of these restrictions would be the German Reich's laws requiring that Jewish people wear the Star of David on their coats. The First Amendment also guarantees that one religion will not hold legal privileges over another. In Denmark, freedom of worship is Constitutionally established, but the Church of Denmark is supported by the state and has benefits from the government. America's founding fathers wanted to throw off the yoke of British tyranny and establish a country where people were free to determine how they wanted to live, including choosing their own religions.

Our Choice, Our Life
The United States of America; a country founded on freedom. The freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, the right to petition, and the freedom of religion are guaranteed to every citizen by the first amendment of the Constitution. In my opinion, the freedom of religion clause is the most important clause for the people of the United States. Most people find comfort and safety with their religion, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or even a practice of Buddhism. The government of the United States is completely tolerant of every religion practiced in the world as long as it is not harmful toward other people. This fact definitely distinguishes the United States from the majority of the world. When students around the world study foreign countries, they do not learn about the religion of the United States. They learn about the lack of a national religion, and the fact that all are accepted. I think that the United States made a good choice in including this freedom in the Bill of Rights. When the pilgrims from Europe first came to the New World, many of them were escaping religious persecution. They were not allowed to practice their religion, so they came to the New World so they could worship freely. If the governing bodies of the newly founded America had chosen not to allow religious freedom, they would have been hypocritical and unjust. The foundations of the United States were well thought out and, in my opinion, portray the true values of our country. It is our choice whether or not we wish to practice a religion, and thanks to the Founding Fathers, we are given the liberty to shape our lives into what we want them to be.

Isle of Palms Freedom of Religion – Freedom of Conscience
The most notorious of London's jails was Newgate Prison. It was described as "hell on earth" by those who survived it. Daily rations were bread and water, unless prisoners could buy something else. Most couldn't. Neither did they have a change of clean clothes. Over time, the cloth rotted off of their bodies. And typhus claimed more lives than the executioner.
William Penn was imprisoned at Newgate twice in 1670. He was a prominent member of a religious sect called the Society of Friends and one of six thousand members jailed since 1662. In fact, Quakers (as they were known by outsiders) were so persecuted that they held annual 'Meetings for Sufferings' to seek redress. This time, Penn and William Mead had been arrested for unlawful assembly in the street after authorities locked them out of their own meeting house.
For centuries, religious conformity and obedience to law were one and the same. Those not part of England's state religion were called "dissenters." They were marginalized, even criminalized. Dissenters were also required by law to pay tithes to the official church whether they sat in the pews or not.
In contrast, freedom of conscience was the cornerstone of Quaker ideology. They espoused that God is in everyone and that no man (and no government) should force religious beliefs on anyone.
Like other dissenters, the Quakers sought haven in America. William Penn and other Quakers founded the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681. The constitution of Pennsylvania, like that of South Carolina, kept government out of religion. This separation of church and state continued after independence when our forefathers first outlined the rights and freedoms of American citizens. The First Amendment, ratified in 1791, states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"
Because of the First Amendment, our government allows us freedom of conscience and does not dictate our spirituality. The amendment prevents the creation of a state religion, prevents Congress from interfering with religious entities, and even prohibits a government declaration that there is or is not a God. Our founding fathers (like the Quakers) understood that in the matter of religion, we must agree to disagree.
As American citizens, therefore, we must grant the same freedom to one another. We must respect our neighbor's worship. Spiritual superiority has no place in a country founded on spiritual freedom. Likewise, believers and non-believers should grant one another the same freedom of conscience granted to us by our government.
We must remember why our ancestors created the First Amendment. Remember that our children hear our hate and will keep it alive for us long after we are dead. Remember that the Constitution is a living document. It can and has been changed. Freedom of religion is freedom of conscience, and it is up to us to keep it alive.

Nick Torsell is the prototypical all-around athlete.
Football coaches from around the area have noticed, and so have college coaches from around the state.
Torsell, a two-way starter at guard and defensive end for the Bellwood-Antis football team, also won 25 matches as a 170-pound senior last winter for the Blue Devils' wrestling squad.

Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Bellwood's Nick Torsell (left) and Mount Union's Philip Kyle arrive for an afternoon
practice session for Friday's Lezzer Lumber Classic.
But Torsell's best sport arguably may be track and field, in which he finished second in the District 6-AA javelin and advanced to the PIAA state meet this past spring.
In fact Torsell, who will line up for the South squad at defensive end in the 30th annual Lezzer Lumber Football Classic at 7 p.m. Friday at Mansion Park, isn't yet certain whether he will pursue football or track at the next level.
"Right now, I'm not sure,'' Torsell said earlier this week. "I'll know within a couple of weeks, but until then, it's up in the air.''
Torsell was set on playing on Mansfield University's sprint football squad until St. Francis University came calling recently with an offer to throw the javelin.
"He's got options,'' Gabe Walter, the South team's defensive line and defensive ends coach, said of Torsell. "He's a good wrestler, too. He could probably wrestle in college.''
The fact that the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Torsell likes playing both football and throwing the javelin equally well adds to the intrigue.
"Nothing is set in stone yet,'' Torsell said. "I really enjoy both sports. Whatever works out and whatever happens, I'll enjoy doing it.''
During his high school football days at Bellwood, Torsell was an undersized lineman who relied on his quickness and physical strength to beat opponents in the trenches.
"I'm smaller, but I'm pretty dedicated in the weight room,'' Torsell said. "That helped me to hold my own against anybody I played against, and I was a lot faster than most of the people I played against.''
Walter picked up on that right away this week watching Torsell perform in practice for the South team.
"What has really impressed me is that he possesses a really nice blend of quickness and strength,'' said Walter, who is Claysburg-Kimmel's head coach. "He is solid rock, and you don't get get that way by being lazy, so you know the kid is a hard worker. He's in peak physical shape.''
If Torsell decides to go the football route at Mansfield, he'll be able to turn the tables a bit. Sprint football rules mandate that no player can weigh in at over 172 pounds. That means Torsell is a little heavier than most of the players he'll see on the field in college, and he'll have to shed a few pounds.
"I'll have to hit the cardio and work out a little harder,'' Torsell said. "I don't like watching what I eat. It's too much fun to eat.''
If Torsell decides to throw the javelin at St. Francis, his diet won't be as big an issue. Torsell progressed in leaps and bounds during the course of this past spring's track and field season, according to Bellwood-Antis boys track and field coach Nick Lovrich.
"He's a super nice kid who knew what he had to do to get better at the end of the season, and did it,'' said Lovrich, who is also a member of Bellwood's football coaching staff. "And in football, you wouldn't picture him as a guard or a defensive end, but he played those positions well for us, he moved very well on the field, and it didn't matter if his opponent was bigger than him - Nick could still handle him.''
The Lezzer Lumber Classic may be Torsell's football swan song. Or it may not be. Either way, he'll enjoy it.
"It will be a lot of fun,'' Torsell said. "It's a laid-back atmosphere, but there's a lot of good talent in the game. I'm excited to play football again.''

Art the osprey crosses Caribbean Sea en route to NH
Bird should return to nest in Bridgewater later this month
Art the osprey safely crossed the Caribbean Sea over the weekend on the way back to New Hampshire.
The bird flew 452 miles in 19.5 hours, arriving on the coast of Haiti before noon (local time) on March 28.
The next day, the osprey flew 193 miles over water to Cuba, ending the day 90 miles west of Guantanamo Bay.
The bird is well past the halfway point in his trip. From his spot in Cuba at last check, Art is a straight-line distance of 1,641 miles from his nest in Bridgewater, N.H. He should return by mid-April.
Since leaving his winter home on March 15, Art has flown more than 3,000 miles.
