HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- They are ranked as high as No. 3 in preseason polls. They have consecutive trips to the NCAA Elite Eight.
They are headed to the NIT Season Tip-Off, the first Division II team ever invited to the prestigious event, like a freshman getting invited to the cool seniors' table in the cafeteria.
Yet there is no complacency, no arrogance among the UAH Chargers, who open the season with a Nov. 9 home game against Point Loma Nazarene.
"You've got to be hungry," said senior point guard Jaime Smith. "Our senior class, really every person on our team individually, has something to prove. Whether it's me and Zane (Campbell) changing positions, guys stepping up to start, guys coming off the bench. Everybody still has something to prove."
If there was to be complacency, Smith said, "Last year could have been the year we slacked off."
Instead, with essentially the entire starting lineup back, having accomplished an historic season in 2010-11 with the first Elite Eight trip, the Chargers went 29-4, won the Gulf South Conference tournament and the NCAA South Regional.
Coach Lennie Acuff is quick to point out that UAH has some monumental challenges and that the Chargers will be "trying to keep our heads above water" early in the season.
First, there is the schedule. Oddsmakers would say UAH will have more losses this month than it had all year.
After Friday's home opener -- "that game is huge for us," Acuff declared -- the Chargers meet North Texas State on Monday, Nov. 12 in the first round of the NIT in Manhattan, Kans.
They will play either host Kansas State or Lamar in the second round. The NIT then guarantees two consolation round games at another site a week later. All other NIT teams are Division I members.
With another home game, against Trevecca Nazarene on Nov. 17 and a tourney in Pensacola Nov. 23-24, the Chargers will play eight games in 15 days.
The second challenge is the lineup.
Despite a wealth of experience, UAH must replace Josh Magette, a four-year starter whom Acuff called "the best (Division II) point guard in the country last year."
That role falls to Smith, who moves from the off-guard position. Xavier Baldwin, a terrific substitute much of his career, steps in as the starter at off-guard.
Campbell moves from center to power forward, with Conner Blasi taking the starting job at center. Ronnie Mack will start at the small forward, where he averaged 18 minutes a game last season.
There is generous depth and versatility, with most of the Chargers adept at multiple positions. The 6-11 Will Carr will back up Blasi, or enable Blasi to move to forward and rest Campbell. Andy Donovan backs up Mack.
The "heir apparent" point guard is freshman Greg Gardner, who can enable Smith to slide to the two-guard spot. Wayne Dedrick, who soon turns 23, is a freshman who played four years of minor league ball and will add depth at guard.
"We need new guys to step up," Acuff said. "We still have some issues to work out."
2011-12 record: 29-4 overall, 13-1 in Gulf South Conference play.
Head coach: Lennie Acuff (Ronnie Arrow (283-150 in 15 years at UAH)

The high school soccer season will officially begin today. Here is a preview of area squads.
Last season ended with some unfinished business for the Tigers after the team dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to Big 10 Conference rival Buckhannon-Upshur in the Class AAA Region II, Section 2 championship game.

Players from Grafton and Philip Barbour battle for a loose ball during a game last year. The high school soccer season will begin today.
The Inter-Mountain file photo
Elkins and Lewis County players look to gain possession during a contest last season.
According to coach Andy Montgomery, losing the championship game has made the 16 returning lettermen hungry to prove themselves on the field. This year, 23 players reported to camp.
"This is the most determined group we have had in a while," Montgomery said. "We are building on a strong defense from last year and looking for improvement in the offense, and the veteran players have worked well together in practices so far this pre-season. We are also impressed with our prospects in the new players."
Elkins will rely on seniors Cord Elmer, Mason Schoonover and Kollin Hopwood to power the offense, while fellow senior Dalton Bobes will anchor a young but experienced defense.
In addition to Bobes, Elkins will return four underclassmen who saw significant playing time last year. Those players include goalkeeper Tyler Gray and defenders Adam Haddix, Aaron Lee and Alex Edwards.
"We know our defense will keep the opponents working to get goals and our season will hinge on how the transition to offense gets us some good looks at the goal. We have a talented group of players and I am really eager to see what we can do," Montgomery said.
Elkins will begin the season at 1 p.m. today at Martinsburg. The Tigers remain on the road Saturday to face Musselman.
TENNERTON?- Class AAA powerhouse Buckhannon-Upshur will look to senior leadership to make a run toward a state championship. The Bucs hope to build on last season's success after winning the Region II, Section 2 title.
Coach Mike Donato said nearly all of last year's team has returned, losing only two starters. In addition, this year's squad has 30 players, which is almost double the number of boys on last year's team.
"Practice has been going very well," Donato said. "We started out by going back to the basics. We've also been trying a couple different formations to utilize the talent we have. We have a very good group of young men and they have some very lofty expectations. The kids have made it their goal to get to the state tournament and take it to the next level."
Donato said the team will look to seniors Chris Orwig, Marty Elliot and Dylan Hall for leadership. All three players earned all-state and all-Big 10 Conference honors last season.
Orwig, who has played goalie for the team since his freshman year, will be an integral part of the team's success, Donato said.
"He's clutch," Donato said. "He keeps us in games. He's a real motivator. He's always talking, always pointing things out."
The Bucs will look to Hall, along with junior Trey Short and sophomore Josh Tenney to control the pace of the game in the center of the field. According to Donato, the sweepers are one of the team's biggest assets.
"(Hall) is one of the best players I've seen," Donato said. "He has a real nose for the ball. He can play any position on the field. He controls the game and gets us on the attack. He's got speed and he's tenacious. He's definitely a nice weapon to have."
Offensively, B-U will look to Elliot to light up the score board.
"Marty has good control and understanding of the game," Donato said. "All the boys look to him for leadership. Our attack goes through him."
The Bucs will visit Brooke at 2 p.m. Saturday to open the season.
Philip Barbour
PHILIPPI - Philip Barbour lost to conference rival Bridgeport in the Class AA Region II, Section 2 title game last season, but coach Ron Jones has the Colts fired up and ready for a fresh start.
"I am amazed how hard this group works," Jones said. "The all come to practice every day and ready to play. They are very excited to get the season started."
The Colts have 24 players on the roster, including six seniors. Jones says the team's strength will be on defense. He said seniors Shay Mitchell and Ben Ball are key players.
"I like to think of them as two bodies and one mind," Jones said. "They always know what the other is doing. They are probably our biggest asset."
Another team strength is at the goalkeeper position. Senior Micah Shahan and sophomore Nick Triplett are competing for playing time in the net.
"Honestly, I don't know who is better," Jones said. "They are both very strong and very versatile. "They both can play midfield, too. I look for good things from them."
Offensively, Jones said the team will look to senior Sage Kline to score goals.
"He's aggressive," Jones said. "He wants to score. He will go after it. The only problem is, he's kind of a maverick."
Jones said this year's squad is talented, but no one individual outshines the others.
"We don't have just one star," Jones said. "All of our kids are talented in different ways. I try to look at where our strengths are and play accordingly."
Philip Barbour will travel to Frankfort at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
PETERSBURG?- First- year head coach John Webster hopes to turn around a Vikings team that finished last season with a 2-5 record. The team will open the season at 7 p.m. Monday against Berkeley Springs.
This year's squad has 12 players, including seniors Wes Sturgill, Garrett Willis, Grant Shanholtz and Clayton Ford. Webster said his seniors are "good leaders" and "work well together."
"Our biggest goal is to get better every day," Webster said. "The kids' spirits are very high. They are ready to get out there and play. I think they are tired of running laps and doing my drills. The seniors want a winning season and get the program back on the upswing. I think they can do it because they are willing to work hard."
Offensively, the Vikings will look to Shanholtz and Ford to put the ball in the net. Webster described his senior strikers as "quick, fast and strong."
"(Shanholtz) is going to find a way to get it into the net," Webster said. "I've also been very impressed with Ford. He gets a lot of shots on the goal."
Webster said Sturgill's experience will help the team control the game tempo from the middle of the field.
"Wes is a very defensive minded midfielder," Webster said. "He's played all four years. He's a leader in the middle of the field. He's a strong kid and goes after the ball.
One of the team's strengths is goalkeeping, Webster said.
"I don't think we will give up very many easy goals," Webster said. "I feel confident with Garrett in the net. He will definitely make teams work to score."

Officials from cities, township and villages spent time recently helping to deliver meals to local residents as part of the annual Mayors for Meals event hosted by Trumbull Mobile Meals.
Sandy Mathews, executive director of TMM, said the Mayors for Meals has been held for seven years and gets public officials out into their communities while also helping TMM.
"They come right to your door with a meal and people can ask them questions about what is going on," Mathews said.

Liberty Township administrator Pat Ungaro and trustee Jodi Stoyak, load meals into a vehicle in preparation for delivery at Trumbull Mobile Meals in Warren. Officials met at the TMM offices to volunteer their time delivering meals to area residents.
Liberty Trustee Jodi Stoyak said she has been a regular volunteer for 12 years.
"I usually deliver meals with my friend who is also a volunteer. We enjoy the people who are always so grateful when we come to their door. We may be the only person that they see the whole day,'' she said.
Administrator Patrick Ungaro said it is great what everyone is doing collectively since it is helping people who are in need.
"I have a lot of respect for the people who volunteer their time to do this, " Ungaro said.
Mayors for Meals is part of the Meals on Wheels Association's month-long March for Meals initiative. The national event raises awareness of senior hunger and for action on the part of local communities to volunteer and raise money for home-delivered meal programs.
Linda Amadei, a TMM volunteer, said the officials really show their support by doing this. She said people who receive meals get a surprise when they see their mayor, council member or trustee at their door.
Mathews said the People Power program is being introduced in March, which need volunteers from local businesses and governments agencies to help deliver meals close their place of work.
''We are reaching out to businesses and companies to see if their employees can help deliver meals on their lunch hour,'' she said. "This is a good way to get new volunteers out delivering so the same people don't have to drive over and over again."
People Power involves a group of six to eight employees working together who can share the delivery of one specific route per week. Estimated time of delivery is an hour or less.
Mathews said the delivery routes would be close to the place of employees' work with a schedule to be worked out.

Ratings for Dr. George Triadafilopolous
In today's world it is most important that each of us do our homework when choosing a doctor. One has to study well to know all of these, as the doctor won't know unless YOU TELL HIM, then ask if he/she understands what you are saying. You just cannot expect a doctor to KNOW all your issues and how it affects you everyday life. HELP HIM/HER TO HELP YOU.***Dr. T is the most well-eduated man I have met in my life in medicine. He "gets it". He also realizes if you help him, he can help you. Let him know what medications you use, and why. Let him know what procedures you have already had. Then ask if he understands this. Wait for him to respond to you. This doctor to me is the very best of the best, a true man/doctor for all seasons. No arrogancy found and excels at what he does. Remember to avoid problems don't be the problem. He isn't God and needs TO LISTEN TO YOU, and he does. This man is trying to save my life and going about it in every way possible. KNOW YOUR OWN BODY!
My mother, who was in good health, had died in 3 days as a result of the unauthorized ERCP surgery performed by this man. She was never informed about the surgery, and thought that she was going for evaluation only when in fact he put her under general anthesia, and performed a surgery. She was admitted to ER couple of hours later and had died horrific death in front of our eyes 2.5 days later. He never even showed up at the hospital when she was dying, or checked on how was she doing. If you care about your life, don't even consider having him touch you or your loved ones, and make sure that others know that as well.

Akin to its other series, the 1810T, the Acer Aspire Timeline 1810TZ presents almost double the power of Netbooks while still bringing all-day battery life. The Aspire Timeline 1810TZ seems the similar as the Timeline 1810T and 1410; while at 11.2 x 8 x 1.2 inches it shares the same dimensions as its predecessors, its quite lighter 3 pounds. Our review unit had a sleek black lid with Acers metal logo impressed in the upper corner and it chose fingerprints rather simply. The deck is a silver plastic thats a decent simulacrum of brushed aluminum and is counteract by the matte black keyboard and sleek black bezel.
Luckily, the 1810TZs 6-cell battery does not bulge out the back. Instead, it bumps beyond the bottom, leaning the system at a slight descending angle towards consumer.

KOCHI: "Voters may decide not to elect alcoholics to the local administration in the coming municipal and panchayat elections. The electorate shall exhibit a moral courage in this issue, although they are totally free to decide", said the Catholicos Elect Metropolitan Paulose Mar Milithios. The Metropolitan was delivering his presidential address at the inauguration of the 'Anti-Addiction Initiative' of Malankara Orthodox Church, 'U-Turn'. U-Turn is an initiative under the auspices of the Ministry of Human Empowerment of Malankara Church.
"House-wives and children shall join this initiative. They are the ones, who face maximum consequences of alcoholism. It is decided to initiate an active propaganda on this initiative in all schools and colleges run by the Orthodox Church as well, which will be with support from teachers", added the Catholicos Elect.
Although law of the land can contribute positively in this line, law alone wouldn't have the needed efficacy. Creating awareness into the consequences of this evil is more important. Educating the society is another aspect that one needs to look into to awake the society against alcoholism, continued Metropolitan Mar Milithios.
"A celebration without alcohol is becoming unimaginable to the Keralite society, which is the alarm on the snarling danger. Gender difference does not figure here at all and alcohol is becoming a status symbol in God's own Land and it is against this social evil that we are fighting", pointed out the Metropolitan.
"Our nation can be saved, only if the lost values and tradition are regained. Creating awareness against addiction is the need of today. Kerala is slowly getting filled with liquor shops. Prophet Muhammad had depicted alcohol as the enemy of humans. Model of Orthodox Church is highly imitable for the present society", said the former Member of Indian Parliament Abdsamad Samadaani in his key note address.
Justice K. Surendra Mohan inaugurated the 'Anti-Addiction Initiative'. Swami Purantharananda inaugurated the movie U-Turn, a film made by the Orthodox Church against addiction.
Metropolitan Dr. Thomas Mar Athanasius, Fr. K.T. Philip and Fr. P.A. Philip spoke on the occasion

Washington 5, Buffalo 4 (OT) – The Sabres are tough at home, or something.
Montreal 3, Carolina 0 – Price was right for Montreal. Has anyone ever thought of that?
St. Louis 3, New Jersey 0 – Steen watch: 27 goals.
Nashville 4, Winnipeg 3 – No snow in Winnipeg last night. Seems topical
Phoenix 3, Los Angeles 0 – Glendale was rocking last night.
Calgary 5, Chicago 4 (OT) – I legitimately think the Flames are better than the Blackhawks.
Minnesota 4, Anaheim 2 – Minnesota hasn't won in Anaheim since the Carter administration.

An instant way to make a family meal special — take it outdoors!
Whatever you're eating, it's more fun eaten picnic-style with a group of people you really enjoy being with. It can be small (just your immediate family) or huge (a giant family reunion) — it can be near (your backyard) or far (a destination picnic!
At a park or beach worth the drive) — it can be simple (salads and sandwiches) or fancy-schmancy (gourmet recipes) but do make it happy and healthy by following these simple rules:
You can make your picnic extra healthy and extra fun by adding in some exercise! Badminton, softball, soccer, races and long walks are all great ways to work up an appetite!

The Green Team at Harry Hurst Middle School in Destrehan has been awarded a $10,000 Healthy Community Grant from Keep Louisiana Beautiful.Keep Louisiana Beautiful Inc. is the state's anti-litter and community improvement organization focused on education, enforcement, awareness and cleanups. Affiliated with Keep America Beautiful, Louisiana's mission is to "promote personal, corporate and community responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana."
The team, led by seventh grade teacher Julie Rexford, will use the money to engage in several projects on campus to help promote green education. The team will be responsible for promoting and collecting the recycling on campus. This includes paper, plastic, aluminum and cardboard. Students have set up a system similar to curbside recycling in which students are assigned zones around campus and they pick up the recycling on their assigned days from the classrooms in that zone.
The team will also start an aeroponic garden using a Tower Garden System. Students will participate in growing produce on campus that will be served within the school cafeteria. This system allows students to participate in every aspect of sustainable gardening. Along with the garden system, students will begin a composting system.
The grant allows for the purchase of biodegradable serving trays, eliminating the Styrofoam trays currently being used by students. The students will then compost these trays into useable material that can be returned to the earth.
Team members are Tiara James, Deanna Guarino, Laisha Harris, Jenevieve Bourgeois, Jala LaFleur, Skie Matherne, Johnika Jackson, John Radcliffe, Jyde Stroud, Sierra Cain, Sampson Matthews, Jacob Johnson, Xariah Parquet, Kaela Schiro, Troynitria Evans, Danae' Lathers, Gabryn Taylor, Zachariah Johnson, Nia Stewart, Tiera Walker, Diamond Miller, and Gilbrea Thomas.

MONTGOMERY - Seven forestry technology majors from Pennsylvania College of Technology recently got a hands-on lesson in spring cleaning - at a bat condo.
Wildlife diversity biologist Mario Giazzon, of the state Game Commission, spoke to the students about bats and what is going on with the species in Pennsylvania.
Years ago, a bat colony established itself in the attic of the Maple Hill United Methodist Church, on the corner of Ridge and Turnback roads in Brady Township.
While the location may have been ideal for the bats, the humans who used the church were less enthused.
In 2001, Penn College students built the bat condo at the college's Allenwood campus, in hopes of encouraging the bats to move out of the church. It worked, for the most part. Very few bats still visit the church, instead preferring the house built precisely for them on the border of the Game Commission's State Game Lands 252.
However, like any other residence, the condo - which can hold up to 3,000 bats - needs to be cleaned every so often.
Inside, bat excrement, called guano, piles up and needs to be removed every year.
Forestry professors such as Jack Fisher said he and other instructors use these hands-on activities to help teach their students.
As part of a lab for a wildlife management course taught by Fisher, the students arrived early in the morning on March 30 at the site of the condo to do some spring cleaning.
"It's a hands-on application. We talk about bat populations in class, and this is an effort in conjunction with the Game Commission to help improve habitat," Fisher said.
Home sweet home
Female bats use the condo as a nursery to raise their pups over the summer. They do not hibernate inside the house, so it lies empty in winter months.
Openings in the front, back and side under the eaves allow the bats to come and go.
On cleaning day, duties were divvied out to the students. Those who were picked to do the cleaning had to get into white Tyvek suits and wear respirators to protect them from any disease the guano could carry.
The students carefully opened four locked doors on the bottom of the condo and, as the guano fell out, it was collected in buckets.
The full buckets then were weighed and the weights recorded.
Students will use a mathematical equation and the overall weight of the guano to estimate how many bats used the condo over the year, Fisher said.
"Then we give that data to the Game Commission," he added.
The commission scientists use the data in larger studies it does on bat species.
"They will take our data and also data from around the state and it will help them get a measure as to the bat population, whether it's increasing or decreasing," Fisher said.
The bat population in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. is in dire straights because of a disease called white-nose syndrome. The fungal infection is fatal and has killed some six million bats in North America since it was discovered in 2006.
Housekeeping equals important data
In 2009, a record 71.27 pounds of bat guano was removed from the condo. This spring, however, only 10 1/2 pounds were removed, Fisher.
"We will take this data and compare it to last year and the year before," he said. "It will help us know what is going on with the bat population in this area."
The guano either will be discarded or it may end up on flower beds at the school, Fisher said. He didn't elaborate on any special precautions the school takes when discarding guano.
The class also checks the feces pile for dead pups. This time, they found two.
Better education
Field exercises such as this one are why students come to Penn College, Fisher said.
"Hands-on ... this is what they come here for," he said. "This is what I believe attracts most students to Penn College. We are a hands-on technology (school)."
Students agree.
"It lets you know what's going on rather then reading it," said Ty Buffington, of Lykens.
Amy Moyer, of Sunbury, was recording the data that day. "It gives us an advantage over other students," she said.
Students in the forestry major also work in conjunction with the Game Commission on State Game Lands 252, improving habitats and cutting trees and slash, which are tracts of swampy ground.

Manager in ICU in attempt to halt robbery
A Longs Drugs Store manager was hospitalized in the intensive-care unit after he was knocked to the ground while trying to stop a man who stole beer from the store in Kihei early Sunday, police said.
The robbery occurred at 5:36 a.m. at the store on South Kihei Road, said Capt. Tivoli Faaumu, commander of the Kihei Patrol District.
He said the store manager and a cashier tried to stop the thief, who refused to return a 30-pack of Miller Lite beer he had stolen. The man got into a vehicle and reversed out of a parking stall, knocking down the manager, who had grabbed onto the driver's door in an attempt to stop the suspect from leaving, Faaumu said.
The manager was transported by ambulance to Maui Memorial Medical Center and was admitted into the intensive-care unit, Faaumu said. Police are continuing an investigation.
SUV crosses line, then collides with van
A sport utility vehicle driven by a 69-year-old Lahaina man crossed a double-solid line to collide with a passenger van heading in the opposite direction in a Saturday night crash that injured both drivers and closed Honoapiilani Highway in Maalaea for about two hours, police said.
The crash occurred at 9:16 p.m. at Milepost 7 on the highway.
The sport utility vehicle was heading south when it collided with the van, said Capt. Tivoli Faaumu, commander of the Kihei Patrol District. He said a 58-year-old Kahului woman driving the passenger van was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center after suffering broken legs and possible internal injuries.
The man driving the sport utility vehicle also was transported to the hospital.
Officials said both drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles. The highway was reopened at 11 p.m.
Public's help sought in locating woman
Police are asking for the public's help in locating a 46-year-old woman who was last known to be walking from her Waiehu residence toward the Wailuku Town Center on Thursday morning.
Karen Brown Young is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
She was last seen at about 10 a.m. Thursday when she was walking from her residence in the 600 block of Waiehu Beach Road to L & L Drive-Inn near Sack N Save Wailuku.
Anyone who sees Brown Young or has information on her whereabouts is asked to call police at 244-6400 or Maui Crime Stoppers at 242-6966. Molokai and Lanai residents may call toll free at (888) 242-6966.

Planning boost for tourism industry
Plans to increase the number of rooms at a five star hotel in Jersey have been approved by the Planning Applications Panel.
At its meeting yesterday, the panel agreed that Longueville Manor can construct a two storey building containing ten guest suites and extra parking for guests.
In considering Longueville Manor's amended plans, the panel had to weigh up a number of competing issues, according to Director of Planning, Peter Le Gresley. 'The panel was mindful of the historic importance of the manor building, and the fact that the planned development is in the green zone, but it also took account of the need for high quality investment in the tourism industry. This development represents a significant boost for the industry and will enable the hotel to plan for the future.'
The panel also agreed a number of applications that will result in work for the building industry and support light industry. It agreed that Les Charrieres Hotel in St Peter can be demolished to make way for nine new homes. Rose Farm Campsite in St Brelade will also now be knocked down to make way for five new homes.
New commercial buildings have been given the go ahead on La Rue de la Retraite, in St Saviour, and the panel approved the construction of two new sheds for industrial use on the vacant section of an existing industrial site in Trinity.

It's no surprise that the Rangers recent resurgence has corresponded with the team finally becoming healthy. However, Rick Nash's concussion situation remains a dark cloud over the Rangers season.
The latest on his situation? "Status quo" is what the Rangers told Larry Brooks at the New York Post today.
And then there's this little nugget from Blue Jackets beat writer Aaron Portzline…
To my knowledge, Rick Nash had only one confirmed concussion in his time with #CBJ. He's in a bad way right now with #NYR. Scary stuff.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) November 4, 2013
…to be honest, I don't want a status update on Nash because I don't think I'd like what I hear.
…it's been fun to watch the Rangers transform into a fast skating, aggressive offensive unit these last couple of games. But let's not kid ourselves, if the Rangers want to make a real run at the Stanley Cup they're going to need Nash. And right now, I don't think we can count on him returning this season. Which is real unfortunately, because I don't think there's any question that he'd be lighting it up in AV's system right now. Dammit!

Voter turnout high at Erie and Millcreek polls
When a young woman stepped to the voter registration table at Roosevelt Junior High School this morning, the poll workers cheered and clapped. She was a first-time voter, they announced loudly.
Otherwise, the room was quiet. Voters streamed in and out quickly, and the booths remained mostly empty.
Despite the lull, Michael Rocco, a poll worker, said voter traffic had been steady all morning.
Poll workers at four locations across Erie's west side and Millcreek Township reported high voter turnout this morning.
At Millcreek Township's Municipal Building, about 30 percent of the precinct's votes had been cast by 11:45 a.m. Thirty-one percent of eligible voters had visited the Villa Maria Center in Millcreek Township by 12:15 a.m. Poll workers at the Erie County Day School estimated that 43 percent of their precinct (including absentee ballots) had voted by 12:35 a.m.
Villa Maria Center poll worker Bob Gallivan, 72, of Millcreek Township, said the polling place had a line of about 25 people before 7 a.m. There have been few issues with the booth technology this morning, said Gallivan, so poll traffic has moved smoothly.
Gallivan said one issue that has caused a minor stir is the request for photo ID. While not required this election, poll workers are asking for photo ID to "get (people) in the habit," said Gallivan.
Margie Sanders, 83, of Millcreek Township, who sat waiting for her husband to vote at Municipal Building at around 11:30 a.m., said she was impressed by the number of people. About five people waited in line to approach the registration table.
"I think people are serious this year," said Sanders. "The last four years have been so bad. I think they want to make a change."
At some polling places, campaign volunteers dressed in signs lined the entrance.
Jason Owens supporter Denise Altadonna, 47, of Erie, and Ryan Bizarro volunteer Kristina Konieczny, 41, of Millcreek Township, talked outside the Villa Maria Center. Both women said they were family friends of the candidates.
"People are decided when they go in," said Konieczny. Altadonna agreed, saying only a few voters had asked the women about their respective candidates.
"It seems people are going by the issues, what affects their day to day lives," said Altadonna.
Konieczny said she had noticed several children visiting the polls with their parents or grandparents. "(The children are) learning about civic engagement," she said.
Meanwhile, at Erie County Day School, six eighth grade students were learning lessons of both civic engagement and supply and demand. They had set up a bake sale adjoining the polling place to raise money for a class trip to Boston.
So far, the bake sale had raised $300, said 13-year-old student Susie Berarducci.
"We figured since people would be coming through here (it would be a good idea,)" said Berarducci.
"Also, we like to bake," chimed in classmate Olivia Levinson, 13.

Improving Your Odds
A car-on-bike collision is probably the greatest fear of cyclists. And that's not surprising, because the repercussions can be so serious. In fact, it turns out that many drivers have the same fear of car-on-bike collisions, and that fear is a motivating factor in much of the bias against cyclists. Strange, but true.
Although the consequences of a car-on-bike collision can be catastrophic, most bike accidents are solo crashes, and most of those are just crashes involving kids learning how to ride. Serious crashes, particularly serious crashes involving cars, are a relatively rare event. However, the near-misses that every cyclist is familiar with are reminders of just how quickly things can go from good to bad.
The good news is there's a lot you can do to keep your rides safe. Taking some safety precautions won't guarantee your safety, but it will significantly improve your odds.
One thing that is often overlooked in discussions about bicycle safety is the mechanical condition of your bike. This can be a factor in some crashes, and therefore, a safe bike ride should begin with a bike that is in safe riding condition.
Anything else? Yes. I always ride with a mirror. On my racing bike, I have a mirror that attaches at the bar end. It's small, light, and unobtrusive, but it's very easy to use for monitoring traffic behind me while riding. I also ride with a bell on my cruiser, because not every crash involves an inattentive driver; sometimes you have to let a pedestrian or another cyclist know you're approaching.
If you will be doing any riding under low light conditions, you will need to be equipped with lights and reflectors. There are two things you need to know here—what "low light conditions" means, and what equipment you should have. First, "low light conditions" obviously includes nighttime. If you are riding at night, you need lights and reflectors—it's required by law. It's also essential for helping drivers to see you. But "low light conditions" means more than just "nighttime." It really means any period of time when visibility is reduced; for example, during fog, or during a heavy rain or snow storm. So the rule is, if visibility is reduced, the law requires you to be equipped with a front white light, and a red rear reflector, plus whatever side reflectors the law in your state requires. But the truth is, the law doesn't require enough—you really need a red rear light, in addition to whatever reflectors are required. And here's something else to think about—it has become standard practice for motorcyclists to ride with their lights on even during the day. Why? Because they have the same problem with "I didn't see him" drivers that we do. You're not required to do this, but there's no reason that you can't ride with lights during the day too, if you want to.
One more thing that will help drivers see you—bright clothing. You are not required by law to wear bright colors or reflective material. However, wearing "hi-viz" clothing will help drivers see you better; studies have demonstrated that the distance at which drivers see you (and thus, the amount of time the driver has to react) increases dramatically when the cyclist is wearing bright clothing.
Finally, always obey the traffic laws. There are a couple of good reasons you should be doing this. First, it can help prevent collisions. I see a lot of reports of bicycle crashes, and failure to observe the law is a major factor in those crashes in which the cyclist is at fault (two examples I've seen recently: cyclists running stops and getting hit, and cyclists riding into the paths of oncoming trains). You might think that you can decide when it's safe to break the law, and when it's not safe, but the cyclists who broke the law and crashed were thinking the same thing.
The second reason to obey the traffic laws is because if you are breaking the law, and a crash occurs as a result of that, you will be "at fault," and that can dramatically affect your ability to be compensated for your injuries.
Some people have very different attitudes before they are injured, and after they are injured. Before they are injured, they may believe that they will just tough out whatever happens if they are injured. After they are injured, and dealing with the reality of serious, and perhaps permanent injuries, and the medical bills and other costs that come with that, their attitudes change, and they want to be compensated for their injuries. But by that time, it's too late to obey the law. If a crash does occur, you will want the driver, and not you, to be the one at fault. So, to protect yourself legally, you need to make obeying the law a regular part of your riding habits.
Opposing laws that do not adequately provide for a law-abiding sector of the community is an essential part of any democracy, and bicycle riders need to be more vocal and more organized in the way we do this.
I agree fully that by failing to observer stop lights and stop signs a cyclist has little or no legal protection in the event of an accident, and therefore this should be considered foolhardy behaviour.
But here's the thing: if all cyclists stop for every stop sign and stop light, local authorities will refuse to recognize there is any need for change and no change will be made.
In Idaho, as many of us know, cyclists are legally allowed to treat stop signs as yield signs and stop lights as stop signs.
This is the change in road law that many cyclists seek, and which I believe cyclists should strive for wherever they are.
To my knowledge the change in Idaho law has had no effect on the rate of car/bicycle and bicycle/pedestrian accidents.
One thing cyclists must always do is respect the right of way: if another vehicle or a pedestrian gets to the junction first, they have right of way.
Yes, speed limits are enforceable, even though bikes are not required to have a speedometer. Motorists with broken speedometers can get tickets, and so can cyclists with no speedometer. If it's an issue that is likely to crop up in your life, you might want to get a computer. It's not required, and I don't ride with one myself, but it will let you know what your speed is.
says, "One thing cyclists must always do is respect the right of way: if another vehicle or a pedestrian gets to the junction first, they have right of way." It is never safe to assume, "that one has the right of way," even though the law may require the other person to relinquish it. If for some reason or other the other person does not see you or realize that you have the right of way, you may just be DEAD right.

Let's Slow Down: Comments on Same-Sex Marriage and Negative Externalities
Douglas W. Allen
Simon Fraser University
December 9, 2010
Same-sex marriage is the most pressing social policy in family law, and pressure exists to provide empirical findings on the effect it will have on traditional marriage. However, it is too early to tell. This paper critiques one of the first U.S. same-sex empirical papers and shows that the negative externality is poorly specified, the data contains coding errors, and the test has no power. Therefore, the conclusion drawn in the paper (that there is no rational grounds for opposing same-sex marriage) is not supported by the evidence in the paper.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Home-Grown Missions profiles missionaries, both full- and part-time, who grew up in area churches. As part of an on-going series, letters home from those serving on the mission field occasionally also will be published.)
One of the greatest lessons she learned as a child from her parents - unconditional love - Sue Hoxie now shares with others on the mission field.
Hoxie grew up in Jersey Shore where she attended the First United Methodist Church, but the greatest influence was her parents, Pauline and Mendy.

"My parents both have been believers since I was born and I would say their constant love and grace to me - because I really went off the deep end for awhile - and never rejecting me (was important). Their prayers for me to come back to the Lord - they were the biggest influence in my life," she said during a recent visit home.
"I grew up in the church and I would have told you I was a Christian, but when I was 34, in 1990, I recognized I had tried everything, done everything that I thought would make me happy and at that point I was at rock bottom and thought I'm going to go back to church and try that," Hoxie shared.
"I always tried to be good and make people think that I was good. It was important what people thought about me, but I never really understood how I could be good. When I was about 25 I basically turned my back on God intentionally and said I'm sick of the roller-coaster ride of trying to be good and failing and trying to be good and failing and I'm not even going to try anymore so, good-bye. I totally turned my back on God for about nine years," she continued.
Fact Box
NAME: Sue Hoxie
HOME CHURCH: Jersey Shore First United Methodist
HOMETOWN: Jersey Shore
HIGH SCHOOL: Jersey Shore Area High School (1974)
COLLEGE: Penn State University (1977) (degree in animal science), Boston University (1982) (master's degree in business administration)
SENDING ORGANIZATION: Greater Europe Mission, Monument, Colo.
MISSION FIELD: Europe
START DATE: June 2006
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com

OTHER: gemission.org
"I got to the point where I didn't have anything else to try. I asked myself, 'is this it? What am I going to do with my life? Where is meaning? Where is hope?' I had a lot of depression and despair.
"I started to go back to church and the Gospel message finally grasped me, that God said to me 'I knew that you couldn't be good, that's why I sent Jesus and that's why you need Him to be your Lord and Savior.' Over that period I really gave my life to Him," Hoxie said.
She already had earned a degree in animal science from Penn State and a master's degree in business administration from Boston University. Hoxie also spent a number of years in the U.S. Army as a mental health counselor.
"Because I had lived in Europe for eight years prior to that (1990), and just lived the wild life there, I knew what life was like there without God and I wanted to go back," she said.
Took short-term trips
That resulted in several short-term mission trips over the next few years to Germany, Russia and Belarus.
"God kept increasing the desire in my heart to go and really serve Him full-time in Europe," she said. But it didn't happen overnight.
The crux of her struggle came late in 2003 when she realized she was more concerned with making a good living - not being poor - than fully following God's plan for her.
Convinced after reading a scripture in Isaiah 55, she said, "Yes, Lord, I want you to change my heart."
Interestingly, on the very same day, she was offered a job in which she could make "a lot of money," she also was offered an opportunity to go and serve with Greater Europe Mission (GEM), based in Monument, Colo.
"It was like God laid it out to me and said, 'I have changed your heart. Now, which one are you going to choose?' It was like no contest. The job totally lost its luster. All I wanted to do was go and serve Him in Europe and raise my own support. I felt like if I didn't make that decision, I would have blown the whole purpose for my life. That's how powerful it was when He called me to go," she said.
The application process and orientation took about a year-and-a-half before she hit the mission field full-time in June 2006.
Fluent in speaking German, Hoxie returned there and worked with a department of GEM that develops and shares resources with national partners, such as putting Moody Bible correspondence courses into an online format so Bible schools in Europe can offer online training.
She also worked a lot in the Ukraine, developing courses and programming in native languages, to establish Bible schools there.
Heart for evangelism
"I have a heart for evangelism and discipleship and we created a computer outreach program and I led five teams and worked with a church in the Ukraine setting up a computer center where a lot of non-believers came. We would teach them how to use computers and then also share the Gospel. We had a number of people who would connect with churches there as well as give their lives to Christ," Hoxie said.
Working with her local church and its pastor in Mulheim, Germany, she developed discipleship courses and in the evening taught believers, helping empower them to reach out into their own communities to connect with non-believers.
The greatest challenge Hoxie has faced, she said, "is really to listen to God every day and understanding what His expectations are for me that day. There are so many things we could do. There are so many lost people there. Only about 2 percent of the population is believers and you see needs everywhere. It is so critical to spend time with Him (in prayer) every day, just lay the day out before Him and say 'Father, which are the things that You have planned for me today and please protect me from the things that are just distractions.' "
She counts the relationships she has built with both believers and non-believers as her greatest blessings.
"There is joy in seeing believers really catch the vision for the Great Commission and the other joy is seeing non-believers meet Jesus," Hoxie said.
Spent time at home
For much of the past six months (until March 16), Hoxie was stateside, visiting family here, in Maryland and in Virginia. During that time she also tried to visit more than 60 churches and individuals who support her work while continually seeking others who might want to join in her ministry.
"I try to share a lot of the concepts that we've been learning about discipleship. A lot of people are interested in learning how they can do things differently so they can both follow Jesus and fish for men," she said.
Due to government regulations, Hoxie can't return to Germany until September, so she will spend the next month working in Ireland and then several more months in the Ukraine. In both of those countries she will help organize discipleship training conferences.
When she returns to Germany she will be in Frankfurt, one of the country's larger cities where the immigrant population is about 33 percent, working with the Church for All Nations, among other ministries including one to prostitutes, another to gangs and to those with drug and alcohol problems.
"The churches will be more like house churches, which will be ethnically similar," she said. "We want to help people who are going to lead these groups learn to apply the basic Biblical principles to their culture (Indonesian, Spanish, one English and two German) and twice a month (they) will come together for a multi-cultural worship service," Hoxie said. "Discipleship training takes place in the smaller intimate house groups. Then we come together as all nations to worship God. I'm so excited to get there."
Satisfying future
"It is a job that only God can do and we can just be little players as He leads us and guides us and gives us wisdom. If I can do this the rest of my life I'll die really happy," Hoxie said.
Again reflecting on the role her parents have played in her life, she said, "I know how much I needed (unconditional love). The grace my parents showed me is such an example of the grace that Jesus shows us and we need to show others. I think about how patient Jesus was with me for so many years when I rejected Him and it makes me just hurt. He was just sitting there loving me and waiting for me with open arms."
Hoxie now bases her life on Philippians 1:1-8: " 'And we should have the attitude of Christ. He did not consider equality with God something to grasp but humbled Himself to be a servant and appeared in human form and was obedient, even to death on the cross.' That is the example I want to follow in my life," she said.
"We (missionaries) really need prayer. We need people's prayers. We can't do anything without the people here praying for us," she added.

|Hill System Plastic Mulched Strawberry Production Guide for Colder Areas
This production guide was written to answer inquiries for information by many potential new strawberry growers in this region north of the Carolinas. The information presented herein was developed from our research results and field experience of several years with plasticulture strawberries at Kentland Agricultural Research Farm near Blacksburg, Virginia, at an elevation of approximately 2,400 feet above mean sea level.

|Small Fruit in the Home Garden
The small fruits offer advantages over fruit trees for home culture. They require a minimum of space for the amount of fruit produced and bear one or two years after planting. Also, pest control typically is easier than with most tree fruits.
Success with a small fruit planting will depend on the attention given to all phases of production: variety selection, soil management, fertilization, pruning, and pest control. Plant only what you can care for properly. It is better to have a well-attended, small planting than a neglected, large one.

|Specialty Crop Profile: Ribes (Currants and Gooseberries)
Currants and gooseberries are two closely related species within the genus Ribes. This genus is diverse with over 150 known species and hundreds of cultivated varieties (cultivars). Currants and gooseberries are easily distinguished by the presence or absence of thorns; gooseberries have thorns, while currants do not.
All ribes are long-lived perennial shrubs that are cold hardy, some to USDA Zone 2. Species and cultivars vary in plant size and form, but are usually upright to spreading (three to six feet) in habit. Disease and insect resistance are variable, depending on the cultivar. The fruit are versatile and nutritious with some currants being especially high in vitamin C. Fruit within species vary in presentation, ease of harvest, flavor, shape, size, texture, and color.

Laptop battery replacement: worrywart edition
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Z470, and the battery is pretty shot. I've been unable to find a replacement battery for this model through Lenovo's own site. I also can't seem to find an exact match for the one I have through third party selling. Current battery: labeled Li-ion 20, model # L09S6Y02. Closest match I found online, which claims that it's compatible with my laptop (but I could find no actual evidence): Li-ion 00, model #L08S6Y02. Put my mind at ease, Mefites: is this new battery compatible with my laptop? (And if I should return it, where should I get a battery, because searching Amazon for this kind of thing has been annoying.)
Where can I buy a Lenovo X220-compatible charger in DC today?
Right now I'm at the airport, waiting to fly into DC, and just realized I forgot my charger. I'll see what I can pick up at my layover, but I would like to a) not fry my laptop and b) continue to use my laptop. I would like to buy the charger after checking into my hotel. I will not have a car. Relevant facts: 1) The X220 is the small Lenovo Thinkpad (not touchscreen.) 2) Staying in Dupont Circle 3) No car
Help me; help my battery
Laptop battery filter: My Lenovo SL510 wasn't charging my battery, and I foolishly assumed it was the battery's problem and bought a new one. But the new one wouldn't charge either. Any advice? [more inside]

Lenovo battery failure: a cruel April Fools joke?
The battery in my IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad Z60t went out of warranty 4/29/07. When I woke up today, the machine says "Irreparable damage to the battery has been detected. Replace the battery with a new one." Is it really damaged? Could it be a broken sensor? Some kind of software glitch? Is this typical? Is there a better alternative to the $159 replacement?

Lincoln boys basketball star LeBryan Nash commits to Oklahoma State
ADDISON - Sitting in the theatre of AMS Production Studios, LeBryan Nash's mother cracked up when her son showed up on the screen for the first time.
Nash, a 6-8, 230-pound forward at Lincoln and ranked by Rivals.com as the nation's No. 4 basketball recruit, was minutes way from choosing Oklahoma State as his school of choice, holding hats from Baylor, Kansas and OSU with a big grin on his face.
"He's never smiled like that, ever," his mother laughed.
Nash might need to work on his media smile; his days out of the spotlight are over.
Making his verbal commitment live on ESPNU while donning a giant foam Oklahoma State hat, Nash ended months of speculation about his decision.
Oklahoma State had been the front-runner throughout. Nash, whose half-brother is former OSU player Byron Eaton, had been recruited by Oklahoma State since he was in 7th grade, by then- coach Eddie Sutton.
"I don't know how many years it's going to take, but I thought Oklahoma State was the best fit for me to go to the NBA," Nash said. "It's more open, like the NBA, more pick and rolls, beating your man one-on-one off the dribble."
Nash's AAU coach, Tony Johnson, called Nash "one of the good ones" that he's coached.
High praise, considering Johnson has coached a number of NBA players, including recent lottery picks Anthony Randolph and Wesley Johnson.
Verbal commitments are non-binding; the early period for signing a national letter of intent starts Nov. 10.

ElephantVoices conservation
ElephantVoices' standpoint is that elephants need protection as a species and as individuals. With 38 years of study we know that among elephants, just as among people, wisdom comes with age. An elephant's proverbial memory and life experience means that older matriarchs are more discriminating than younger matriarchs; the loss of a matriarch can affect the future of an entire family; the death of a mother means the death of her young calves and the lowered survival of older offspring; the lack of role models or exposure to severe trauma when young can result in abnormal behavior in adulthood; the deaths of older females or large males with big tusks to a poacher's or hunter's bullet impacts the fabric of a society and the survival of a population.
Safeguarding elephants means understanding the dynamics of a society, the incorporation of this foundation of knowledge into conservation practices and the raising of the public consciousness. ElephantVoices makes the sharing of this information a priority.
In early 2011, ElephantVoices launched "Elephant Partners", an elephant conservation project based in the Maasai Mara ecosystem, Kenya. The goal of Elephant Partners is to develop a working model for citizens to monitor and protect elephants. Read more about Elephant Partners here - and follow this initiative through Elephant Partners on Facebook. In Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique, ElephantVoices is responsible for another elephant monitoring and conservation project, that you also can read about on the Gorongosa National Park's website.
