Welcome to Cora's Quilts on Craftsy! My name is Shelley: wife, mom, quilter, and designer from Sacramento, CA.
I love designing quilting projects big and small, alike - my patterns are built upon classic quilt blocks and patterns, that have been updated for the contemporary sewer. I include directions for modern, simplified, time-saving cutting and piecing techniques, and some of my favorite building blocks are those fabulous pre-cut fabric bundles, like 5" Charm Packs and 10" Layer Cakes. The majority of my patterns are also scrap-bin friendly, so if you're looking to make a little bit of room in your stash, you've come to the right place!
All my projects include clear, concise instructions accompanied by full-color illustrations and photos.
Visit my blog at www.CorasQuilts.com to see what I'm working on in my studio or visit my etsy shop at www.CorasQuilts.etsy.com for kits featuring the patterns you see here.
Thanks for stopping by and happy sewing!
"Falling Leaves" is a cheery little table runner pattern designed to bring a bit of fall foliage to your table setting. This runner uses basic machine applique and a bit of simple piecing to quickly bring together a runner that's easily completed in just a couple of hours.
This pattern is fat quarter and Charm Square friendly, but you could also pull bits from your stash for a scrappier look.
Please Note:
This pattern is for personal use, but permission is also granted to make this item to sell in small quantities, provided that the item is handmade by you and that you credit Poplun Designs for the design.

Three years ago, I made the difficult decision to leave the US Army and enter the private sector. An MBA was a natural next step because I needed the business skills and credibility, but HBS was the right next step simply because of the people. Everyday I'm exposed to the brightest and hungriest minds I've ever encountered. Everybody from the staff and faculty to my classmates and alumni has made an important and deep impact on my becoming a better business leader.
Before coming to HBS, I thought I'd pursue a career in the defense industry after school and this has remained unchanged. HBS has, however, helped me articulate why this is a passion of mine and allowed me to increase the scope of my goals. Through learning about many different industries and how successful leaders have positively impacted the world through business, my desire is to leave a similar impression while prioritizing a balanced life.
Amazing things tend to happen when someone, armed with the right tools, pursues a true passion. As I enter the defense industry, I look forward to finding that particular path within the industry that best fits me - the path that drives me to make the biggest impact and the path that simply is the most fun for me. I'm excited to apply my newly gained skills and knowledge in an industry I'm truly passionate about.
When going to class every day, it's hard to realize exactly how much one's learned. My internship at Lockheed Martin helped me realize just how powerful the HBS MBA is. In just one year, I went from not having heard of a cash flow statement in my life to performing due diligence on potential acquisition targets, assisting seasoned General Managers in go-to-market strategies, and launching a new business model. I felt comfortable contributing in meetings with executives and by the end of the summer, I can say that I was proud of my accomplishments.
Now as I reflect back on my 2 years at HBS, I have confidence in making immediate, insightful, and deep impacts at my next organization. While I know I still have a tremendous amount to learn to master my craft, I feel that HBS has helped me form a focused mind that allows me to ask the right questions and see the big picture.

A Lubbock banker suspected cashier checks issued to "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe" sounded too much like a bit from The Three Stooges.
Banker John Reed of American State Bank in Lubbock was right, and the man behind the fictitious firm was sentenced Friday to nearly four years in prison for laundering almost $900,000 he had obtained through identity fraud.
Michael Penker, 54, used the "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe" name and various identities to open several credit cards and lines of credit at casinos receiving more than $1 million in cash and credit.
Between November 1999 and June 2000, Penker traveled through Texas and New Mexico purchasing 197 cashier's checks and 443 money orders totaling about $894,776.
The scheme began when Penker, using the name Alvin Cheatham, incorporated an entity named "D, C & H." Checks were made to various combinations of this, including "Dewey, Cheatham and Howe."
An investigation determined that it was Penker, not Cheatham, and he had falsely used a Social Security number and provided false information to banks.
Penker also was ordered to pay more than $1.1 million restitution and ordered him to forfeit about $900,000 in cash and property to the United States.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger McRoberts of the Lubbock office.

Apple iPad 3 to arrive in March, followed by iPad 4 in October to fend off the Windows 8 slates

apple looks afraid....
6. pongkie (Posts: 538; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
why are they afraid? windows 8 is a myth like a unicorn
13. kainy (Posts: 165; Member since: 10 Aug 2011)
Why they are afraid? Cuz we all know a tablet is just big smartphone and that's it. Win8 is just anything but that ... And yes they are afraid cuz everyone with some common sense will go and even consider Win8 tablet instead of iPad, cuz you have a full working PC in your hands. That's why this unicorn is a myth but we all have seen it ;)
22. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
Just saying a tablet is a big phone is misleading because it is such a huge difference when using the device. It's actually enjoyable to play more video gams and watch video on this big phone which I am currently using. That being said I will say I am looking forward to looking at a windows eight tablet. It's not going to be the first full fledged operating system on a tablet at all not even close but I bet windows eight is gonna or I atliest hope it's gonna be what is truly needed and not to contradict my earlier statement but have a tablet that's not just a bigger version of a phone and have it be practal to use come with great battery life along with the full capable game playing (with in reason) and functions of a full fledged computer
23. pongkie (Posts: 538; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
They are going to release windows 8 for version tablets only just LIKE the ipad with Metro UI and runs apps only not the pc programs, and they are going to release a PC version that runs apps and pc programs but if they put it in "slate" a bet it will just last for 3 hours
14. drahmad (Posts: 480; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
so you actually think windows 8 is a myth? seriously, you should not make any comment unless you read tech news for the next 1 year....
21. pongkie (Posts: 538; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
oh please you people MS is soooooooo sloooooooooww they're gonna start beta next month and your expecting them to release it THIS year. Apple and andriod are raping the market because their fast and thats what business needs. Just look at WP7 its very disappointing
17. ledbetterp3 (Posts: 467; Member since: 31 Aug 2011)
You're a myth like a unicorn...
32. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@drahmad. Nah, it's android OEM's who are afraid. That's why they feel the need to release a new phone every 4 months :)
2. drahmad (Posts: 480; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
i would want a win8 any ways
3. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I am not a tablet person, but I am hopeful WP8 on the market will be a success. Not because I think Microsoft needs it, but because I think the consumer and these other manufacturers need it. I have no doubt Android Tablets will at some point produce a runaway hit, but until one strikes gold, wouldn't it be nice to see Apple up their game due to competition to the iPad as opposed to making small improvements if they feel like it?
Not meaning to sound negative to Apple. No company would invest more money than it has to if it has the product everyone wants and is assured a hit. If Android and WP8 do not threaten the iPad's success, why would they up their game?
4. drahmad (Posts: 480; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
actually i hate apple because of her closed system ...
33. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@drahmad. Just don't buy Apple products. No need to hate anyone :)
5. bbblader (Posts: 590; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
the iDap 3 is sooo not going to be $400 like the iDap 2 its going to cost waay more
i bet that it will be more than the blackberry playbook
7. tigermcm (Posts: 855; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
ummmmmm it says the ipad 2 will be lowered to $399. What are you reading?
8. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Two iPads same year? I don't think so. Perhaps an iPhone 5 then an iPad 3.
9. DROIDX0430 (Posts: 468; Member since: 24 Nov 2010)
No way does Apple market products like this--if this were even remotely close as being true--The ipad 2 & 3 would not even be considered anymore. I only believe the ipad 3 release for March---and that's it.....
10. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
This truly would be awful news for ifans if its true,after all they just bought an ipad2 so they MUST buy the the ipad 3 in 3 months time and then the apple pr guff will compel them to buy the ipad 4 a few months later in October. Each device being almost the exact same but each new ipad is a 'new' one so they must buy it as it changes everything again again.
Its definitely a sign of apple running scared of the top android tabs coming this year and the window tabs also but they no doubt will score massive cash sales from ifans upgrading model to model.
25. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
I pad 2 has been out a year android fan man. I love android too and prefer it actually but I have had my iPad almost going on a year when the three should be released and I will not get the three at all. But that just me. My iPad works great. But actually I probably will get an android or windows eight next.
11. Firedrops (Posts: 249; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
This is exciting. Apple and Microsoft going head to head again, it's like a deja vu of the beginning of the Mac vs PC era.
12. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
tablets are pointless
i need a tablet with a full operating system not some s**t that can only browse the internet and download porn at 4g speeds.
i suppose I would like a good slate that doesnt cost $1200

Behold! The Archos 9 PC tablet, ~$500, looks like it was designed for ease of use, the screen is resistive (the "soft" touchscreen) instead of capacitive, but I could get over it, three hour battery life though.
Samsung however,
search?Ntt=samsung+series+7&N= 0&InitialSearch=yes
the series 7 tablets, running full Windows 7, they claim 7 hrs battery life $1000-$1300, I'm eying these at the moment, but am waiting what Archos replaces the Archos 9 PC tablet with.
27. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Really? Because when i'm watching tv and want to browse the web, read forums, buy s**t online, or watch porn... I don't want to have to have my laptop. I like my tablet.
On top of that, I use my GT10.1 about 2-3 hours a day and charge it maybe once a week, can't say that about my laptop and I have a special laptop with about an 8-10 hour battery life.
Tablets are pointless for people who can't afford to spend $600 on a toy. Some of us can.
30. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
thats exactly the point. i dont want a laptop, i want a full computer in a tablet form factor. the argument of a owning a tablet is convenience. however, there is no functionality for doing anything outside of what you mentioned, &, thus, is a problem. i dont want to lug a laptop around but at the same time i dont want to pay an excessive amount for the current production slates. there is a significant price gap
15. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
would apple release 2 ipads in 2012...doesnt seem very apple like to me.
16. blattlaus (Posts: 63; Member since: 12 Dec 2010)
Are these the same suppliers who talked about the iPhone 5 with the 4 inch screen in 2011? Apple has just reorganized their launch schedule and they certainly are not going to release a iPad 4 at the same time as the iPhone 5 or 4GS or whatever is launched in Q4. Enough with the BS rumors already.
18. dirtydirty00 (Posts: 421; Member since: 21 Jan 2011)
2 in one year? Yikes. apple barely upgrades their equipment with one new device a year. what will these have added? the second will probably be a new color available.
19. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
I think this guy sounds afraid as Apple he wants Apple too rush out all 3rd & 4th iPad

28. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Are you accusing Apple of copying? Don't even go there dude, everything they do is 100% original get over it!

26. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
2 in one year? That is VERY rare from Apple.
If there indeed is a March and October release ... I see one of those being a new form factor ... like a 7 or 8 inch tablet.
Otherwise, two iPad releases of the same size ... does not make sense.
29. shamatuu (Posts: 159; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Fake as hell. They would never do that.
34. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
One ipad a year. When will these writers get it?
35. TechWorld_Observer (Posts: 15; Member since: 17 Aug 2011)
...remember when everyone was expecting the IPhone 5 last summer? Everyone was sure that Apple (AAPL) was going to release it on summer, but it did not come until Fall with minor upgrades.
If AAPL is in fact looking to take at shot at Microsoft (MSFT) they would NOT release it on March, but actually wait until the Windows 8 tablets were released. AAPL has the most reliable and well designed products on the market, and MSFT has the resources to do the same if not better because of the universal advantage they have against Mac OS. However, MSFT doesn't have the products everyone goes nuts for and even though everyone is looking forward to see the Windows 8 tablets, I doubt they will be the big hit everyone thinks it will be, not yet anyway. I just don't think MSFT has either the management and/or talent and/or encouragement. One of these is missing from MSFT or perhaps all of them and that needs to be changed before MSFT can start producing mind-blowing products.
That being said, it's not a possibility or an option for MSFT, but a statement... Bill will NOT come to save it ala STEVE and he doesn't need too as he had his glory already. Find someone else; as many unemployed talented people there are I'm sure they can put a good team and then the world will see a great battle beetween Cupertino and Redmond.
One more thing... Have you ever had an uninvited FRIEND to one of your parties? That's Android, you don't want them there, but they are your friends so might as well get used to them being at the party too. Point: Android is good, but they invite themselves into the party forcing people to buy their products because there isn't another option.
Remember this!

Obituaries: Clues from beyond, Part 1
How can we find more information about our ancestors?
An excellent method to locate more details is to find a published death notice or obituary for a relative which may list spouse, children, grandchildren, siblings and more. Out-of-area relatives may be identified with places of residence.
What's an obituary (called an "obit")?
Obituaries are short biographies - a memorial to a deceased person's life. The information contained may provide additional information by following the clues. Generally, families provide basic information to a newspaper which generates the written notice. If the deceased person is a prominent community member, there may be much more.
In many large cities, a short death notice is what you will find, listing minimum details, unless the deceased was a famous person. Short death notices are submitted to newspapers by funeral homes and are sometimes considered a free community service. Longer obituaries with photos are paid for by the family. Each publication has its own guidelines for obituaries and death notice.
Let's use this 1912 New York Times obit as an example.
NAME: The first name, middle initial and last name of the deceased. John Henry Ehrhorn
AGE: The deceased's age will generally follow the name - and provide clues to the birth year for further research. Sometimes the actual date of birth is included. Of course, the obit's writer assumes he or she has the correct information. However, assumptions are dangerous and checking other documents may be necessary. 60 years old, born 1841
ADDRESS: The deceased's complete address may appear or only the city and/or state. 444 W. 24th Street. New York
CAUSE OF DEATH: This may be included and is helpful for a family health tree. Heart disease.
EULOGY: The writer may add descriptions of the deceased's life, major events, accomplishments, etc.
PLACE OF BIRTH: Where the person was born, if they immigrated and when. Hamburg, Germany 1841.
PLACE OF DEATH: Did they die at home, in a hospital or in a nursing home? Was that place in the town of residence or in a different location? At his residence.
SERVICE: The obituary will include the name of the funeral home, the address, time of service, cemetery name. The funeral home may have even more details - from comments made by family members and recorded in the file - if the researcher can contact the home for more information.
OCCUPATION: Researchers may find the name of the deceased's business, professional qualifications, length of time in the location, university graduation and more. Retired cigar manufacturer, was in business for 40 years, since 2872.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: This may include the deceased's local affiliations as a volunteer, membership in a church or synagogue, etc.), business and community organizations, etc. Feffler Lodge, St. Luke's Hospital, Masons.
HOBBIES: This may also include clubs, memberships, organizations and other accomplishments.
MILITARY SERVICE: This may include dates, branch of service, number of years served, honors and other details.
MARRIAGE: The spouse's name (still living or deceased), the date and place of marriage, the maiden name, birthplace or more details. Doesn't say, likely she died before.
SURVIVORS: This section will list the names of survivors, including parents, children, grandchildren, step-children, brothers, sisters, cousins and others. This is useful as it may indicate non-local relatives and where they live. Three sons: Henry (a Post Office superintendent at Station J) and Oscar (a lawyer at 15 William St.), third son not named.
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: This may include the name of the specific house of worship the deceased was affiliated with, and provide additional information..
PLACE AND SERVICE: This will include the funeral home, address, funeral time and place, a memorial service and where post-funeral memorial services will take place and when.
PALLBEARERS: The names and affiliations of these individuals may shed clues on additional relatives, business or community affiliations.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER MEMORIALS: A request for donations - in lieu of funeral flowers - to specific causes or organizations may add information on health issues, the deceased's interests and hobbies.
When I found the 1958 obituary of my great-grandfather's cousin Max Tollin, in Springfield, Massachusetts, I learned the names of his wife (and her maiden name), his children and their spouses, where other family members resided, his occupation (a builder and what he built), where he was born and died, where he was buried.
How did I find this wonderful clipping in the days before widespread Internet resources?
I knew the family had lived in Springfield since 1898 when Mendl (who become Max) arrived from Mogilev, Belarus. I called the Jewish funeral home there and found that the staff was very cooperative and sympathetic. They checked their dusty old records in storage, discovered a photocopy of the newspaper obit, photocopied it again and sent it to me by snail mail.
In a more recent obituary for great-uncle Abe's wife Helen, I learned where many long-lost cousins live today. Here's that section - I have replaced the names of living relatives with XXXX:
... She is survived by her children, XXX of Palm Coast, Fla., and her daughter and son-in-law, XXXX, of Springfield. She is also survived by her grandchildren, XXXX of Columbia, S.C., XXXX of Woodbridge, XXXX of Palm Coast, Fla., and XXXX of Manalapan; six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews, all of whom she adored. ...
This record was very helpful in revealing where many cousins now live, information that might have been difficult to find (such as married names of females).

From staff reports
STATE COLLEGE - The State College Spikes came back up off the deck in the eighth inning, responding to the Jamestown Jammers taking the lead in the top half of the frame by scoring five runs of their own and taking a 6-2 win on Friday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
State College (18-30) came back twice in the game, which started out with sparse offense from both teams. Spikes starter Nick Kingham retired the first seven batters he faced and allowed only one unearned run on five hits while striking out three over five innings on the mound. Jamestown (26-22) scored that run in the third inning when Jabduan Morales crossed the plate on a dropped catch error at first by Alex Dickerson that would have completed a double play.
The Spikes would tie the game in the fifth inning, however, to take Kingham off the undeserved hook. After Jammers starter Helpi Reyes held State College without a hit over the first four innings, Kirk Singer produced a one-out single, followed by two more singles from Wes Freeman and Junior Sosa. Sosa's hit brought in the tying run and made it a new ballgame.
In the eighth inning, things started to look dire for the Spikes. After reliever Joan Montero retired the first two batters of the frame, he walked a batter and gave up a base hit, giving way to Josh Poytress (2-2). Poytress, who had allowed only two walks over his last 12 1/3 innings before Friday, suddenly walked two batters and threw a wild pitch which scored Brian McConkey with the go-ahead run to make it 2-1, Jammers. The lefty settled down to get the final out on a strikeout, though, to keep the score that way.
State College replied to the Jammers with the first six runners reaching base off of reliever Chase Wier (3-1), though. Wier, who held a 0.86 ERA through his first 13 appearances of the season, yielded a base hit to Alex Dickerson and a walk to Chris Lashmet to start things off. After Matt Skirving reached on a sacrifice bunt when Wier's throw did not beat Dickerson at third base, Derek Trent tied the game with a single to right that still left the bases loaded with no outs.
Ashley Ponce went on to drop down a bunt single on a squeeze play to score pinch runner Alex Fuselier and give the Spikes the lead. An error, an RBI single by Freeman, and a bases-loaded walk drawn by Sosa would add three more runs to complete the State College rally. Emmanuel De Leon then pitched a perfect ninth inning to seal the victory.
The win was the Spikes' sixth in their last seven games, and their fourth straight home victory.
Wier was charged with all five of the Spikes' eighth-inning runs on four hits and a walk while recording only one out in the loss.
Saturday, the Spikes and Jammers finish their two-game set at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park before they head to Russell Diethrick Park for two more meetings. The 7:05 p.m. matchup will feature right-hander Trent Stevenson (0-0) on the mound for State College, while Jamestown will send right-hander Dejai Oliver (0-1) to the hill.

West Maui Kumuwai has launched a campaign to save coral reefs starting in Maui residents' backyards.
The team made up of community members and individuals from nonprofits and state and federal agencies has rallied residents to reduce polluted runoff along West Maui beaches.
"The main idea is to tell the stories of people in the community that are already doing things and inspire others to get involved," said Tova Callender, volunteer and West Maui Watershed and Coastal Management coordinator. "I am a champion of West Maui Kumuwai, but I am not" the only one.

The federally funded program kicked off in June when 50 volunteers planted more than 1,000 plants at Hanakao'o (Canoe) Beach Park to beautify and to reduce soil runoff into the nearby Wahikuli stream. Volunteers continue to maintain the site.
In the past few months, the group has continued to reach out to residents through pledge programs and events that teach them how to build rain gardens, appropriate native plants to choose and proper uses of fertilizer.
Rain gardens absorb rainwater runoff from urban areas, such as roofs, driveways and walkways, and prevent erosion and water pollution from reaching beaches and the ocean.
"We're really hoping people will learn how to do it and do it on their own because it's really not that hard," Callender said. "It's a movement owned by all of us. Your backyard could be 300, 100 or 500 square feet and you can still build a rain garden."
Some of the programs the group has launched include the Ocean Preferred Partners program that looks to Maui retailers to post signs and stickers on fertilizer and pesticide products that are less harmful to ocean wildlife. Three West Maui stores have been participants since November.
The group also started a pledge program this month, asking Maui landscape companies to commit to ocean-friendly practices. To date, its list includes MauiScapes LLC and A'Nutt Nurseries.
People who do not have backyards or do not own their own landscaping business can still make a difference, Callender said. She said residents can pick up after their pets, wash their cars on their lawns rather than the street and volunteer at beach cleanups and recycling events.
Since its launch, the group has accepted dozens of pledges from residents and is continually looking to build more rain gardens at homes, schools and businesses.
"Hopefully by this time next year, we will have added another seven rain gardens," Callender said.

Lebron James' Workout
Basketball Stars' Workout Plans
He's one of the most talented and entertaining NBA stars of our time, and also one of the most fit. LeBron James' workouts are pretty traditional. Push-ups and pull-ups are standards for him, and he prefers cycling for cardio. To mix things up, during squats he stands on a vibrating platform, according to Men's Health, because it increases his strength and power. He's also doing weights every day, which is a little different than most athletes. His weight training includes a lot of work with low reps on dumbbells for step ups, squats, shoulder presses, and lunges. One day a week, Lebron also jumps rope on an unstable surface like a mat.

The risks associated with the use of password-only authentication are not new. In 1995,
the US Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) reported that approximately 80
percent of the security incidents they received were related to poorly chosen passwords.
More than fifteen years later, two-thirds of organizations are still using just a password to
secure remote access.
With today's threat landscape and the increased value placed on the information created
and stored, systems that rely on static passwords for security are left vulnerable and at
risk of being breached.

Getahun et al recently published a study titled "Recent Trends in Childhood Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder"1 in which they used medical records and well-defined criteria to generate the prevalence of diagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a large southern California administrative sample. Their study contributes important geographically based estimates of ADHD and draws conclusions about increasing ADHD prevalence within southern California. However, the authors cited our previous research2 to support a commonly held assertion that parent and teacher reports of ADHD "overestimate true prevalence."1 To date, parent-reported ADHD diagnosis on national health surveys has not been directly validated against a clinical standard and thus needs further study before conclusions related to validity can be made. However, studies like that by Getahun and colleagues may inform the evidence base for the validity of using survey data for monitoring ADHD over time. Our research estimated that the parent-reported prevalence of ADHD for children aged 4 to 17 years in California was 6.2% (in 2007),2 which may appear high compared with the estimate by Getahun and colleagues of 4.9% among children aged 5 to 11 years in California (in 2001-2010). Herein, we replicate our previous analyses of parent-reported ADHD with a sample more comparable to the study population analyzed by Getahun and colleagues.
To allow for descriptive comparison, we revisited our previous analyses of data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH),2 further restricting the sample (73 123 children aged 4-17 years) to one more closely reflecting that used by Getahun and colleagues: specifically, children in California aged 5 to 11 years who were covered by health insurance (n = 590). The NSCH has 2 ADHD diagnostic indicators: one for having ever been told by a health care provider that a child had ADHD and the other for having current ADHD. The ADHD case definition by Getahun and colleagues was more reflective of a period prevalence rate than a point prevalence rate, suggesting that the "ever" diagnostic indicator was more appropriate for cross-study comparison. Prevalence estimates of the national, state-based, and age- and insurance-restricted NSCH survey estimates and 95% CIs of parent-reported ADHD were calculated using SUDAAN version 10.0.1 statistical software (RTI International) to account for the complex sampling design.
Based on NSCH data, nationally, 9.5% (95% CI, 9.0%-10.0%) of children aged 4 to 17 years had ever received a parent-reported ADHD diagnosis (Figure). This estimate was only slightly lower than, but statistically indistinguishable from, that of children with health insurance (9.8%; 95% CI, 9.2%-10.3%). Restricting the data to insured children aged 5 to 11 years, the national prevalence of children with a history of ADHD diagnosis decreased by 14.3%, to 8.4% (95% CI, 7.7%-9.1%). Further subsetting the age- and insurance-restricted analysis to children in California reduced the prevalence by 44.3% of the national rate, to 4.7% (95% CI, 2.5%-8.4%) of insured California children aged 5 to 11 years with a history of ADHD.
Prevalence and 95% CIs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among children by insurance status, geography, age, and data source. NSCH indicates National Survey of Children's Health.
On initial inspection, the ADHD rate reported by Getahun and colleagues (4.9%) appears lower than previous2 national (9.5%) and California-based (6.2%) estimates of parent-reported ADHD. However, the analyses presented here confirm previous reports of the sensitivity of these estimates to insurance status, geography, and age.3- 5 When considering these factors, the estimated prevalence of parent-reported ADHD in California closely approximates the rate of documented ADHD diagnosis in medical records of a southern California population, with the rate found by Getahun and colleagues falling within the 95% CI of the NSCH estimate of ADHD among children in California, regardless of age. Therefore, in contrast to the authors' statements that studies relying on parent-reported cases of ADHD "overestimate true prevalence,"1 an alternative conclusion may be drawn from this study. Specifically, the study by Getahun and colleagues provides evidence of convergent validity that demonstrates the appropriateness of parent report for monitoring state-based and national prevalence of ADHD.

Report: Texas Leads Nation in 2013 Exonerations
Texas in 2013 exonerated more people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes than any other state, according to a new report from the National Registry of Exonerations.
Thirteen Texans were officially absolved of wrongdoing last year for crimes ranging from murder to drug possession. Some had spent more than a decade in prison, and others a few months. The state with the second-most exonerations was Illinois, with nine, followed by New York, with eight.

BAY VILLAGE - The city's new finance director, Renee Mahoney, hasn't had much time to settle into her new office on the third floor of City Hall.
She's been busy working with city officials on preparing the 2013 city budget.
Mahoney joined the city Jan. 4 and is working three days per week this month in an arrangement worked out between Bay Village and her former employer, Shaker Heights, where she had been assistant finance director. She is helping that city on a part-time basis until it hires and trains her replacement.
She is coming into Bay Village at a busy time, as it prepares its 2013 budget. She's already working with City Council's finance committee on drawing up the budget for presentation to the full council.
Mahoney said several factors attracted her to the Bay Village position, which was vacated recently by Steven Presley.
"I've been in public accounting for over 20 years," she said. "I worked for the city of Shaker Heights for over 20 years, always thinking that I would be a finance director some day. This position became open, and it's a double bonus that it's 10 minutes from my house in Lakewood."
Mahoney said it's a pleasure to drop off her daughters at school in Lakewood and complete a quick commute to Bay Village instead of facing the significantly longer drive to Shaker Heights in the eastern suburbs.
She described her experience so far as being positive, adding that everyone has been welcoming.
"I can tell the council is very energetic and helpful and ready to get things moving," she said. "The first priority is to get a budget, and I've been working on that."
In addition, she said another priority will be reducing paperwork associated with employee timesheets and requisitions.
"The mayor (Deborah Sutherland) definitely likes the idea of becoming more paperless," Mahoney said. "In Shaker, it was a decentralized accounting system where the departments enter all the (requisitions) and then it all flows electronically with signatures, instead of paper flying from department to department. We definitely want to make some improvements."
Moving to filing forms electronically increases efficiency and reduces the likelihood of typos when the finance department has to enter information from written forms into the computer system, she said.
"It makes the finance department staff more of an auditor than a data entry person, which helps reduce errors."
Mahoney had been with Shaker Heights pretty much since she graduated from college, other than for about one year when she left to take a job with Lakewood Catholic Academy. She returned to Shaker Heights, however, at the request of city officials.
"I love everybody at Shaker, so absolutely, it was a hard decision (to leave)," she said.
However, she added that she has a daughter entering college in the fall, and she felt the additional salary offered by Bay Village was important to her family.

Album Review
The 17 newly-recorded songs on this album comprise a loving tribute to the man generally considered to have invented bluegrass music, and the album was timed well, coming out just shortly before Monroe's death in 1996 at the age of 85. The songs are mostly pretty predictable. The program leads off with the
Nashville Bluegrass Band
's rendition of "Molly and Tenbrooks" (on which
Alan O'Bryant
does a pretty fair Monroe impression), and proceeds through a hair-raising rendition of "I'm on My Way Back to the Old Home" by
the Del McCoury Band
. Other classics by various lineups follow:
Vassar Clements
Richard Greene
team up for a bracing run-through of the instrumental "Scotland";
Laurie Lewis
Kathy Kallick
do great job on the title track; and Tim and
Mollie O'Brien
give "Sitting Alone in the Moonlight" a suitably haunting performance.
Peter Rowan
may be overrated as a singer, but as a former Blue Grass Boy and a tireless champion of Monroe's work, he has certainly earned the right to sing "Travelin' This Lonesome Road" and "Letter From My Darlin'." Highly recommended.

Michigan Tech Opens New Research Center
July 30, 2012/The Detroit News
One could argue there has never been a better time for Michigan Technological University to unveil a $25 million research facility to address the most pressing issues of the Great Lakes. On Thursday, the school in the Upper Peninsula's northwestern corner will dedicate its new 50,000-squarefoot Great Lakes Research Center along the Keweenaw Waterway — a short boat ride from Lake Superior. The center and its faculty are dedicated to researching the Great Lakes' issues and helping map a course for managing the world's largest source of fresh water.

Rumblings from several sources concerning the Chris Clemons contract situation have not been in short supply recently.
By now, we all know Clemons is one of the team's hardest workers, posting two consecutive seasons where he notched 11 sacks. For a guy who was largely unheralded and undervalued in Philadelphia, where he played with the Eagles, those are impressive totals. We also know that because of the production that far outweighed projection, Clemons is frustrated with his contract, and has held out of mandatory minicamp last week in protest of his current salary.
First, FOX Sports' Len Pasquarelli reported that Clemons rejected a 3-year, $18M extension from the Seahawks. But then, as Eric Williams confirmed, no rejection has been made, and the two sides continue to negotiate the numbers heading into training camp.
Clemons doesn't have much leverage here. Frustrated as he may be with the fact that a) he might not be getting paid as much as other players at his position in the league, and b) watched as the Hawks used its first-round draft pick for DE Bruce Irvin two months ago, Clemons is by no means overlooked. The coaching staff knows what they have in him. He plays much younger than his age (31) because of the limited field time he saw in Philadelphia before coming here. He has a monstrous, relentless motor when going after the quarterback. He's solid against the run. And he'll serve as an ideal mentor for Irvin as he learns the "Elephant" position in Pete Carroll's offense.
Currently, Clemons is set to make $4 million in 2012. There's no way he's going to turn his back on that money. Training camp is less than six weeks away, and the coaching staff will expect Clemons to be there from day one. He's already looking at a $100,000 fine for staying home through minicamp, but the more important issue here is maintaining his own value. A player who drops off in skill and production isn't going to be valued by the team, so Clemons would only be shooting himself in the foot if he continued his MIA streak into next month.
Barring anything completely unexpected, I'm reasonably confident that the Seahawks and Clemons will come to an agreement by August at the latest. Fans don't have much of a reason to be truly concerned, especially since this defense is rapidly shaping up to be a top-five in 2012.
PS – Apologies for the radio silence, folks. We'll be updating more regularly as the season draws closer. And if you haven't already, be sure to add us on Facebook.

At the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League membership tea last week, David Stahl stood in the living room of Aline Smith's house on East Battery and gave a long speech.
He was grateful for the support of volunteers, without whom the orchestra would have nothing, he said. He recalled climbing the steps of this house for the first time in 1982, with his then-toddler, Sonya, in tow. He talked about how music nourishes the soul, how communities thrive thanks in part to the arts, how so much has changed in Charleston during the past 25 years.
He set the stage for Saturday night, opening night of the season, when the orchestra would play Prokofiev's "Alexander Nevsky" cantata and Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" with chorus, two Russian works about the tragedy and triumph of war. For tickets, see www.charlestonsymphony.com.
Stahl is an enthusiastic and inexhaustible advocate of great music and of a
local enterprise that continues, after a quarter-century of ups and downs, to inspire him — and to inspire him to inspire others.
Stahl, who at 59 has reached a silver milestone in his career, remains full of fire and hope, continuing his effort to secure the orchestra's place in the city's cultural landscape.
But nothing, he says, should be taken for granted.
In the beginning
In 1981, he made an appearance at the Spoleto Festival, conducting three one-act operas at the Dock Street Theatre.
"I liked the feeling I had," he says. "I saw the potential. This city was too important an American city to have only 17 days of a high level of quality in terms of the arts."
In 1977, Mayor Joe Riley helped initiate the renaissance of the Holy City by helping to establish the Spoleto Festival and its regional component, Piccolo Spoleto. Riley says he wanted to reinvigorate the arts in Charleston, which were languishing. Supporting the festival and the local symphony were two essential ways to do that, he says. A city alive with the arts would draw business people and professionals, who would, in turn, ensure that the arts remain alive, Riley says.
The orchestra, which had 13 full-time musicians at the time, was looking for a new music director in the early 1980s when Stahl auditioned.
Ellen Dressler Moryl, Charleston's director of cultural affairs, and J. Barry Goldsmith, a retired educator and current member of the symphony's board, were on the search committee. Twenty-five years later, their choice has proven to be a wise one, they say.
"I think the community thinks of David as an icon," Goldsmith says. "He brings excitement."
"David has charisma and then some," Moryl says.
"It's hard to overstate David's importance to our community over the last 25 years," Riley says.
Little by little, Stahl built the orchestra, challenged its musicians to think big and cultivated a warm European sound.
But he also has grown with the community.
In the late 1980s, Stahl sent 5-year-old daughter Sonya to the Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary School. He was concerned about Sonya's education. He often went to see her teacher, Karen. He asked pointed questions. He opened file cabinets to scrutinize their contents. He counted supplies.
Separated from his first wife, he turned up often to talk with Karen about Sonya. "She's brilliant," Karen would say, a bit dismayed by this parent's oppressive concern. "She's doing fine."
"By the 12th visit, I'm thinking maybe his interest goes beyond just Sonya," Karen says.
Then the precocious kindergartner made her move.
"Could you do some research," she asked her teacher, using her advanced vocabulary, "and find out if you could go out?"
In February 1989, they married. In September, he was back from a gig in Spoleto, Italy, rehearsing Camille Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony. Karen was five months pregnant with their son, Byron.
Then Hurricane Hugo smashed into the Lowcountry. At about 12:30 a.m. Sept. 22, a big oak tree ripped loose from the ground and split their West Ashley home in two, landing directly on their bed.
It was official: The conductor from New York, protege of Leonard Bernstein, and his wife, the educator from Winston-Salem, N.C., had become Charlestonians.
The main thing
Tacy Edwards wears two hats. She is president of the League Volunteer Corps and a 15-year veteran flutist in the orchestra. And she is among the orchestra's strongest advocates. She says Stahl is "demanding but kind."
Some conductors are prone to temper tantrums, arrogance or cruelty, she says, such as George Szell of the Cleveland Orchestra during the 1940s and 1950s, who famously fired musicians on the spot for playing badly.
Stahl is just as determined to build a great orchestra — and orchestra sound — but his manner is nothing like Szell's, she says. If he doesn't like what he hears, he delivers a "silent message" with a glance, then starts the music again, she says.
The players appreciate the varied repertoire, too, she says. "We don't play a lot of the same stuff over and over."
Concertmaster Yuriy Bekker joined the orchestra in January 2007. Bekker has worked under many conductors and sometimes found himself in profound disagreements over musical choices. But that hasn't happened with Stahl, he says.
"He listens to others. He wants other people's ideas. He's a team member."
Bekker points out that Stahl, who has been musical director of the symphony for a third of the institution's life, has evolved along with the rest of the musicians. He has established a Charleston style and tradition.
"From my perspective, David is a wonderful musician, a great leader with a broad knowledge of the repertoire, both operatic and symphonic," Bekker says.
The other main thing
The Volunteer Corps is the biggest donor to the symphony. Last season, it raised $355,000. Volunteers work hard, doing for the symphony what paid staffers do for symphonies elsewhere, Edwards says.
The city delivers about $150,000 derived from the accommodations tax. The symphony qualifies for the money by demonstrating that it stimulates tourism, Moryl says.
Ted Legasey, symphony president and chairman of the board, said the organization functions with a $3 million annual budget, half of which comes from gifts and sponsorship. About 40 percent is generated through ticket sales, services and other earned income; 10 percent comes from grants.
"It's tough to get people to understand the annual nature of funding," he says.
The symphony is trying to counter the perception that its regular fundraising efforts are needed because of bad management, he says. It is the nature of a local arts organization to ask for support year after year. "The key is to try to elevate this enterprise so it's sustainable long term," Legasey says.
In a way, the symphony has become a victim of its success. Under Stahl's musical leadership, the orchestra now supports 46 full-time musicians, a big number compared with other markets the same size. Expectations are high, too. World-class musicians produce a world-class sound. And the Charleston Symphony is full of world-class players. They come to Charleston via the highly competitive audition circuit.
Paying for all this talent — and the guest musicians, special events, community outreach and administration — is particularly difficult when there are no Fortune 500 corporations in town or major endowments, Legasey says.
Stahl always has been ambitious, striving to build an orchestra that can play the really big pieces, but ambition comes with a hefty price tag.
In 1997, Klaus Schultz of Munich's Staatstheater am Gaertnerplatz hired Stahl to serve as its music director and chief conductor. The appointment came after a triumphant concert performance of Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess," which combined American singers with German instrumentalists and thrilled audiences.
"In Europe, they treat (music) like sport," Stahl says.
Schultz wanted Stahl full time, but the conductor said no. He would not give up his permanent residence in the Lowcountry. A year later, they struck a compromise.
His work abroad helps keep him energized and inspired, he says. European musicians and audiences are "so in touch with the legacy of the profession."
They're aware that when they attend a concert at the Musikhalle in Hamburg, for example, they are sitting in the same theater where Brahms himself once presented his work.
This legacy is absorbed by Stahl when he is abroad, then brought back to Charleston and shared. In Europe, he notes, music and other forms of artistic expression are an intrinsic part of the culture and are supported by the state. In America, the arts and the state must make a deliberate effort to forge relationships.
Yet, Stahl insists, a great orchestra improves the quality of life, which, in turn, stimulates tourism and economic development.
At home
Sitting in their sunlit kitchen overlooking the Stono River, the Stahls reflect on their years in Charleston.
Karen remembers how, a decade ago, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she asked her husband to mount a performance of Puccini's "Madame Butterfly," her favorite opera. It took about four years of effort, but Stahl arranged it.
Today, she is cancer-free.
David Stahl, a note of gratitude in his voice, describes how his wife holds down the fort when he is away. She counters, saying he never has lost sight of what's really important: family. When he's in Germany, he calls home constantly. He blocks out dates so he can attend volleyball matches, graduations, birthdays. The family always spends three weeks together there each summer. "The family becomes so incredibly close," Karen says. "The children become each other's best friends."
Byron, 18, attends the College of Charleston's Honors College. Daugher Anna, 14, is captain of her high school volleyball team. Sonya, now 27, plays the violin and works for a fruit distribution company in Florida.
Stahl calls his home his "sanctuary." His other home is on the conductor's podium, where he can elicit glorious music from dedicated musicians with a flick of the baton, where he can delight in the act of spontaneous creation, where something as intangible as sound can provoke human sorrow and joy.
He remembers certain musical moments — the heartbreaking "Liebestod" of "Tristan und Isolde," the grandiosity of the Berlioz Requiem, the synchronicity of the Jets in "West Side Story" — and how these moments captivated audiences and moved his own soul. He understands, better than most, how music illuminates the human experience.

Dan Conners, a senior at J.C. Birdlebough High School in Phoenix, write this essay for Voices.
If someone had told me my freshman year that I'd be looking back asking where the time went, I wouldn't have believed them. However, entering my senior year, I realize that is the truth.
Senior year is a time to make the grade, but also a time to enjoy the time you have left with your friends. It's time for your last stand before you join the working world and go off to college. It's quite stressful, and nerve-wracking to know this is my last year of high school. After having basically the same routine for 12 years, knowing it is coming to an end is sad and joyous at the same time.
Senior year is going to be full of things to look forward to. We get to take electives only offered to seniors, drive our cars to school and gain access to certain school features, such as the senior lounge in my high school in Phoenix. Another thing to look forward to are the good times we'll have with friends, and the memories we'll make that will last a lifetime.
This year should be the best year of my high school career, with the new freedom and choices open to me. Between choosing a college that suits me, senior events and graduation, there is so much to do, but so little time.
Senior year comes up quickly and some of us look back and say "I wish I would have done that!" or "I wish I would have done better in that class," but once you reach senior year, you put it all behind you. The longest part of my high school career is about to begin. That's the countdown to graduation; the day I can walk across the stage, get my diploma, thank my family, friends and teachers for helping me make it to my goal, to graduate from J.C. Birdlebough High School.

July 20]-----Reality can sometimes be stranger than fiction, and that's exactly what came to mind when I saw this story. A black couple from Nigeria, living in Britain, recently stunned everyone when the wife gave birth to a white, blue eyed, blonde baby girl.
The father, Benjamin Ihegboro, admitted he was shocked when he first saw his baby. He said he asked his wife if the baby, who was named Nmachi, meaning "beauty of God," was his. He later said he was joking, of course, and knew she was his. "Even if she wasn't" , he said, "she wouldn't look like this!" Mom Angela said, "She is beautiful, a miracle baby."
The doctor who delivered little Nmachi, says she is not an albino, as some have suggested. She doesn't have the white hair and pink eyes, traditional traits of albinos. Benjamin and Angela Ihegboro, have two other children, who are dark skinned like their parents.
Genetic experts in London are baffled by the birth. One such expert, Professor Bryan Sykes, head of human genetics at Oxford University, exclaimed, " The birth is extraordinary…In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents."
Professor Sykes added that the Ihegboros had to have some form of white ancestry for this to happen. However the couple claimed not to have any such ancestry.
In 2006, another British couple, this time both biracial, gave birth to twins girls, one white and one black. Kylie and her partner Remi Horder, 17, both have white mothers and black fathers.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Beth Rowland, new executive director of the Museum of Berkeley Springs, has announced expanded museum hours for the summer, and plans for more programs.
The museum will be open every day of the week in July and August. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., except on Saturdays, when the hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The extra hour will accommodate visitors to the Morgan Arts Council's Summer Concert in the Park Series. Rowland said she hoped the increased hours will translate into increased donations from visitors.
Rowland has hired new docents. They are Ivory Bittorie, Lara Glory, Christopher Wills and Sharon Blanchfield. They join Marvin Keener, Jaqueline A. Delbaugh and Head Docent Kate Lehman.

Special displays at the Museum of Berkeley Springs include an 800-pound crystal mined nearby and donated by U.S. Silica. The entire geology exhibit has expanded recently.
"This is an exciting time at the museum," said Rowland. "The new folks bring previous docent and retail experience to their new positions, joining an experienced staff already in place."
The Museum of Berkeley Springs received extra funds June 19 from the Morgan County Commission, which was paid from hotel/motel taxes collected. Funds were also provided by the Town of Bath.
This will supplement the new hires, as well as the repair costs of the air conditioning system. It blew recently, and flooded parts of the state park's Roman baths downstairs. That was a costly repair project. One major part was $500, Rowland told county commissioners in June.
"The park is responsible for everything that happens outside the doors," she said. "Anything inside is our responsibility."
Anyone who hasn't visited recently should visit again, she said. Several second-grade students toured the museum in May. As a result, she said, many students returned with their parents. Part of that interest was from stories kids took home about the 800-pound crystal on display.
Over a long period, the geology exhibit has expanded, and the Civil War lectures were successful in 2013. So, geology lectures are planned later in 2014.
The gift shop has expanded to items made in or having a connection to West Virginia. A glass blower will soon make an exclusive gift made from Berkeley Springs/U.S. Silica sand.
The Parks and Recreation department is planning a summer camp at the museum.
The museum is available for special tours for groups. For more information, call 800-447-8797, visit www.museumoftheberkeleysprings.com or email email@example.com.

HERSHEY The words coming out of Ryan Preisch's mouth following his third-place finish Saturday were ones Milton head coach Mike Snyder is really going to enjoy hearing.
He wasn't satisfied with the bronze medal hanging around his neck. Happy? Sure he was happy. He had just won his first career state medal and finished his season with a 3-1 win over fellow District 4 wrestler Kyle Barnes of Hughesville.
But satisfied? Not even close.
"There's tons left for me to prove," Preisch said. "You can win gold, or you can dominate doing it. I want to dominate."
Preisch spent the last four weeks trying to make up for what was a disappointing end to his sophomore season a year ago, and he did so winning sectional, district and regional titles. He really wanted to make his mark Friday night in his semifinal against Reynolds' Austin Matthews, but lost 16-7 to the eventual 152-pound state champion.
His win over Barnes on Saturday afternoon at the Giant Center in the PIAA Class AA Wrestling Championships was the next step in his progression to gaining his ultimate goal. He was able to smile about the work and adjustments he made to go from being 1-2 at the state tournament to finishing third. But behind that smile was a scowl that said, 'just wait until next year.'
"I felt like (third) was the only option I had," Preisch said. "I wanted gold really bad. I'm going to work hard to take that next step. I'm going to go for it and get gold next year."
His match with Barnes was much like the first time the two wrestled a week ago in the semifinals of the Northeast Regional tournament. Not a whole lot happened on their feet early and each traded escapes in the second and third periods.
Preisch made a big move, though, getting to a single leg and spinning behind Barnes for a takedown with just over a minute to go to top the returning state runner-up 3-1. It was Preisch's second win over Barnes this year.
Barnes' fourth-place finish was the second state medal of his career. His run to the third-place match included four consecutive wins in the consolation bracket on Thursday and Friday, including two elimination matches.
"I knew a takedown was going to win the match, and he did a little more to get it," Barnes said. "He's got a nice front head defense. It's hard to get past a guy like that."
Maybe it was the tough way to learn the lesson, but Canton's Garrett Wesneski learned through the course of his first trip to the PIAA tournament points have to be treated like a valued family treasure. The junior lost his three matches in Hershey by a combined five points.
But Wesneski walked out of the Giant Center on Saturday with his first career state medal, an eighth-place finish at 182 pounds. He said it was a great learning experience to understand just what it is he needs to correct in order to place higher next year.
"Down here you can't get away with giving up the cheap points," he said. "It costs you later on. It's the little things I have to work on over the summer so I can get better."
In his two win Wesneski accomplished exactly what he wanted to by scoring points in bunches. He scored a combined 23 points in his two wins, and just nine in his three losses.
It's the type of match he wants to create. He doesn't want to be in those one or two-point matches.
"I was offensive. I like to score tons of points," said Wesneski, who finished the year 34-5 despite missing a couple weeks with a knee injury. "I turned quite a few people. Some matches it just costs you when you give up the cheap points.
"I think it's a good confidence booster for next year. Once I knew I could hang with these guys, losing matches by a point or two makes me a little angry knowing I should have won."
Muncy's Skylar Ebner found a little extra gas in the tank in the final match of his high school career Saturday. He was so hell bent on not losing his final match that he was able to come up with a big move when he needed it.
Ebner hit a reversal in tie-break against Somerset's Jacob Nickelson to win, 5-4, and finish his career with a seventh-place finish in the Class AA 195-pound tournament.
"I didn't want to end on a loss," Ebner said. "That was the big thing. I wanted to go out on top."
The wrestler who broke into Muncy's lineup as a freshman 125-pounder, became a force in the upperweights the final three years of his career after some tutelage from former Muncy state champion Ryan Hembury.
He hit his patented headlock Friday morning to score the points he needed in a tight match to guarantee his first state medal. He scored 17 points in his first match at the state tournament and lost by just one point in the consolation quarterfinals to Moshannon Valley's James Stodard, who went on to finish fourth.
"This definitely means a lot to me," said Ebner, who's weighing offers to wrestle at various Division III schools after a 100-win career. "I'm happy where I'm at. I'm definitely satisfied."

So funny!!!
C'mon! So easy. He's preparing himself for flying because he gets sick when he flies, which is gonna happen anyway.
Well said! And also, the more you read McArroni, the more you understand its unique humor.
One of my favorites!
That comment was just perfect, made laugh so much!
So funny! I like the inteligent and bizarre humor of this strip. I think some people don't get it sometimes because they aren't capable of letting their super-logic thinking aside.
And think of McArroni just as a bird, when really the fact that he is a bird is the less important part of this character.
But… you can't please everyone…
C'mon, it's a comic, use a little bit more of imagination and less of real life logic.
I mean is obvious that this is a portrait of the malevolent side of McArroni towards the cat (who by the way is so nice and never looking for trouble).
It's a joke…
Amadeo is the best! Love this comic.
