Tell me that isn't the sweetest walk off arrival at home plate ever. I got goosebumps when I saw it. I smiled, laughed, and just through my hands in the air. Doing his best Nike Jumpman impression Andrew was airborne leaping into the dogpile that was awaiting him.
Air Jordan should be Air McCutchen. This dude's got ups. He was also a football player in high school but if the devlopment league b-ball team in Pittsburgh needs a shooting guard look no further than Andrew McCutchen.
Cutch went 2 for 4 with a stolen base in the game. Solid numbers for the rookie. He did however promptly blow the game in the top of the ninth inning. He misplayed a ball hit to him and forced two Philly runs to score that inning. I hate when this happens because I never have faith when the Bucs aree behind in the bottom of the ninth. I was proved wrong tonight when McCutchen came through to put a smile on all black nd gold fans in Western Pennsylvania (and northern West Virginia for that matter) as the Pirates top the Phillies 6-4.
Maybe it was J. Quist's report on Ryan Doumit, but the catcher went off tonight. He was just 1 for 2 but it took just one swing of the bat to tie the game 1-1 early in the game. He belted a homerun that landed in the right field stands.
Another tip of the cap goes out to Ross Ohlendorf. Very quitely the young hurler racked up 10 wins on the year. He gained the no decision in tonight's game but was very solid and in line for the W. In 6.1 innings pitched Ohlendorf gave up just 5 hits and 2 earned runs.
I feel so great about this win. It hurts to see so many Philly fans taking over PNC Park. People from the east side of the state come in with their nose up in the air and walk with their chests out since the World Series win last year. I can't blame em cause I know it happens everywhere with every team but its hard to swallow win baseball supremacy of teh state of Pennsylvania is not in Pittsburgh. However, tomorrow I hope to get the bandwagon rolling once again. I will be walking around the WVU campus with my McCutchen shirt and Bucco hat. Hopefully some other Pittsburgh fans will come out of the woodwork and join my cause.
One last time, thank you Buccos! Lets Go Pittsburgh!

*Yep – that hit was nuts! McCutchen never ceases to amaze at this point… He quickly rose to be the premier player on the team, (and that might of even been before the trades…) I just commented on a blog yesterday, (may of been yours,) that the Pirates can take anyone – and that they'd most likely beat the Phillies ATLEAST once or twice… Bingo.
Holy crap, do you see how high he is off of the ground in the picture? I get the Pirates games on tv so I saw it live also. Congrats Matt, that was exciting to see. I started watching the Pirates last night cuz the Indians were sucking it up, (lost 6-2). But hey the Pirates won. Congrats and isn't it fun winning? =)

Matt: Seriously, he jumped ridiculously high. I guess happiness does that. I miss Ohlendorf. He used to be a Yankee.
I'm sure there will be Pirates on the NL Central Cutie list. I was planning on Freddy Sanchez, but he got traded. I'm sure there will be some. It's the Mets I'm worried about. I have to find a cutie on that team? That's going to be hard. -Virginia
Wait, I like David Wright. There we go!
Too funny – when I first logged and as your blog was uploading – I thought at first he had a football in his hand and was going for an end zone spike! That is a great celebration at homeplate. Congrats on the win.
I saw that pic. Man, that guy IS Air Jordan! I wonder if he can dunk I'm sure he can. I remember we had a guy named Joe Gathright (no clue where he is now) and he could jump over a parked car, door to door, flat footed. Pretty awesome video on YouTube. It looks like Mc can do that. Congrats on the serious run of wins. YOu guys are really looking awesome.
OMG! that is quite a jump! WOW! I did not see it before. I should have watched the highlights last night but I am sure I will see it again.

Theater Review: For good summer fun, it's Neil SimonBy Jim LowePhoto by Brian Jones
Newlyweds Paul (Tony Roach) and Corie (Lesley Shires) enjoy a tender moment before the disastrous party in the Dorset Theatre Festival production of Neil Simons Barefoot in the Park.
Neil Simons Barefoot in the Park is one of those light, irresistible romantic comedies that is perfect summer fare and Dorset Theatre Festivals production, which opened Friday, fully delivered its considerable laughs and charm.
Barefoot in the Park premiered on Broadway in 1963, starring Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley. It ran through 1967, for 1,530 performances, making it Simons longest-running play, and the 10th-longest nonmusical on Broadway. In 1967, it was made into a hit film starring Redford and Jane Fonda.
Corie and Paul are newlyweds in the process of moving into the fifth (top) floor of a New York 48th Street brownstone. Paul is a beginning lawyer, and Corie is to stay at home, betraying the plays 1960s origins.
Cories very conservative widowed mother Mrs. Banks arrives before the furniture, revealing the insecure relationship between daughter and mother. When inviting her mother for dinner, Corie seizes upon the opportunity to invite Victor Velasco, the middle-aged world adventurer and lothario living upstairs hoping for a bit of romance.
Not surprisingly, the evening is a disaster, ending with Cories mother missing and Corie and Paul headed for divorce. Paul thinks Corie is wild and Corie calls Paul a stuffed shirt he wont walk barefoot in the park.
It takes Victor and Mrs. Banks to show them some sense.
Its all very silly, but the themes are universal, and Dorsets polished production, directed by Jenn Thompson, has great fun with it. For, unlike many productions, it never goes quite over the top, never becoming too silly, and it benefits from an excellent cast.
Lesley Shires combined innocence and a sly wit as Corie, while Tony Roach was charmingly earnest as well as a funny drunk as Paul.
Still, the biggest laughs were won by Amelia White and Geoffrey Wade, a real-life couple, as Mrs. Banks and Victor. White was totally endearing and terribly funny from the beginning, while Wade (seen recently in Weston Playhouses Educating Rita) felt a bit over the top at first, but thats Simon. The two were simply priceless.
Dorset, these days, is creating beautiful, realistic sets. This one, by Kevin Judge, mixed charm and realism attractively, earning a couple of ovations. That was coupled with expert lighting by Michael Gianitti, Dorsets producing director, most attractive costumes by Teresa Snider-Stein, and sound by Stephen Kunken.
Dorsets Barefoot in the Park is a great way to spend an entertaining summer evening.
Dorset Theatre Festival
Dorset Theatre Festival presents Neil Simons Barefoot in the Park from July 25 to Aug. 10 at the Dorset Playhouse, 104 Cheney Road in Dorset. Performances are at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday (and Tuesday, Aug. 6), plus 3 p.m. matinees Wednesdays and Sundays.

Police are investigating a homicide Saturday after a Janesville woman was found dead inside a home.
No one has been arrested, but a man who was in the house was taken to Mercy Hospital with unspecified medical issues.
Deputy Chief Danny Davis said officers were called to the home Saturday about 3 a.m. to check on a woman who was reportedly late getting home. Police forced open a door and found Traci Moyer, 46, dead inside.
Davis said an autopsy will reveal the cause of death, but police are confident they're investigating a homicide. He also said the public isn't in danger.
The man's medical condition hasn't been released. Authorities identified him as Moyer's estranged husband, 54-year-old Krystopher Carlisle. Davis said it's not immediately clear whether he played any role in the apparent homicide.
The autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.

Man who shot at cops in trouble again
SALEM – A Salem area man who shot at police officers during a standoff 10 years ago found himself in trouble again with police after an incident Thursday afternoon required the use of a taser to subdue him.
Andrew P. Swetye, 49, of 1318 E. State St., was charged with assault on a police officer and failure to comply, both felonies, along with resisting arrest, left of center and a stop sign violation following a short pursuit from the Smith Oil parking lot, along East State Street and up Rose Avenue to East Third Street.
Salem Police were dispatched to Smith Oil, 968 E. State St., at 2:59 p.m. for a suspicious person in a red GMC vehicle. An employee said she felt like the person was casing the business and had been driving around the parking lot for the past half hour.
Patrolman Brad Davis arrived and found the vehicle parked facing south in the parking lot near Rose Avenue, pulling behind it and activating the overhead emergency lights. He approached the driver side of the vehicle to make contact with the driver when the driver rolled his window down and said he didn't want to talk with him and began driving forward.
Davis continued to approach and told him to place the vehicle in park and keep his hands visible, but the driver then swerved in his direction and began driving recklessly through the parking lot, pulling onto East State Street via the entrance near Ohio Avenue in front of an oncoming vehicle and nearly causing a crash.
The driver continued to travel west on East State Street on the center line when another officer came behind him with lights and siren activated. Davis pulled out behind the red GMC with the lights and siren activated and the driver turned right onto Rose Avenue.
The report said the driver was traveling left of center and passed a truck while approaching the intersection at Third Street and did not attempt to stop at the stop sign, striking an eastbound Chevy Silverado driven by Jerald Cope, 63, of Winona Road. Officers quickly approached and the driver, later identified as Swetye, would not follow verbal commands and was pulled from the vehicle and placed face down on the street for handcuffing. He continued to resist and not follow verbal commands, with Davis and Lt. Don Beeson using a taser to attempt to gain control.
Even after he was handcuffed, he allegedly struggled while being placed in the back of a cruiser to be taken to the police department for booking. He continued to struggle after arriving and was taken directly to the Columbiana County jail by Davis and Sgt. J.T. Panezott.
Cope and a passenger were listed with possible injuries, but were not transported to the hospital.
In December 2002, Swetye was committed to what's now known as Heartland Behavioral Healthcare in Massillon after a Common Pleas Court judge found him not guilty by reason of insanity for the shooting, ruling he was suffering from mental illness at the time.
He had been charged for two counts of felonious assault for firing shots in September 2002 at a Perry Township police officer and a Salem police officer while barricaded in his home on Depot Road just outside the city limits. The officers involved were Salem Police Sgt. John Scheets and then Perry Township Patrolman now Chief Mike Emigh.
Since his initial commitment, Swetye has been in and out of the hospital and was most recently released from commitment in November, according to online court records.
A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 14 in county Municipal Court on the latest set of charges.

First of all: New Coach!
1. Unit: Chandler, Jeffries, Melo, Shump, Lin
well balanced team.
Rebounds: Chandler, Jeffries, Melo
Steals: Shump, Lin
Speed: Melo, Shump, Lin
Offense: Melo, Lin, Chandler, Shump
There is enough offensive and defensive potential!
And this team is better than many other second teams.
2. Unit: Amare, Novak, Fields, JR, Baron
That was not a fun game.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
What happened to the team energy and effort? Guys seemed to be asleep at times tonight and the effort especially on the defensive end was gone. Losing to the Spurs on the road will happen, but the effort for most of the game was terrible. During Linsanity everyone that played seemed to be playing their heart out and now the effort just isn't there.
Missed this game see that the Knicks lost again not surprised. Did Melo have another bad game? Did Lin look comfortable out there tonight?
It's not about Linsanity, in fact Lintendo had a decent game offensively. It's about team effort and defense. With both Amare and Carmelo we're not a team, we're a bunch of individual celebrities who care only about their paychecks. Offensively we didn't look that bad, but there was no team work and no defense. We're struggling since Amare's back and we're losing since Carmelo rejoined the squad. Jeffries and Shumpert started getting less minutes, which turns directly into less effort on the defensive end. Last night we played without both Jeffries and Chandler, no wonder we allowed Parker to score 32 points out of 63%, no wonder Ginobli barely missed shots and no wonder Neal could hit a couple of threes over 6'11 Amare "I-was-never-taught-defense" Stoudemire.
Melo and Stat are paid 20 million dollars and consider then elite players...
They need to be told to play defense ??????
They need to be benched until they do....
Its so embarassing watching guys just run in for lay-ups.....Melo and Stat look like that supposed to happen.....
Anyway our problems for the most part started when Melo came back... Not a good Win/loss Record with Melo and Lin together. Don't know the actual stats but record is terrible with Melo in there and was great while he and others were out. Coincidence? Well take a look back prior to Lin when Melo and others were there prior to getting hurt.. They are the ones that got us in the huge HOLE way under .500 that Lin and the reserves helped climb out of going on the 2.5 week tear.
Boy glad things are back to normal and we got all our high priced key players back
Sometimes I wonder how much better off we would be if we didn't go out and waste all those millions on high priced high profile players. I think in long run if we kept the players we drafted and cultivated them over time.... Lee, Gallo, now Lin and kept Wilson and Felton. Would we be any worse then we are now?? I don't think so
for you to blame STAT and Melo for Parker scoring and not his defender shows you're just being a btich towards them
either blame the team, the coach or whoever he had
So now we are blaming Melo because the pixie dust has worn off on the D Leaguer

Skip to comments.Democratic Rep: Amend Constitution To Allow Control Of Speech
Posted on 11/30/2012 4:44:04 PM PST by MissesBush
ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta) - A Democratic representative is calling for an amendment to the United States Constitution that would allow for some legislative restriction of freedom of speech.
We need a constitutional amendment that would allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) was quoted as saying by CNS News.
He reportedly made these comments while speaking at the Annesbrooks HOA candidate Forum held last month.
In a video obtained by the website, Johnson asserts that corporations control patterns of thinking.
They control the media. They control the messages that you get, he added. And these folks are setting up a scenario where theyre privatizing every aspect of our lives as we know it. So, wake up! Wake up! Lets look at whats happening.
Corporations and unions are protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution because of the ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which found that a state law prohibiting corporations from making political campaign contributions using their treasury funds was unconstitutional.
The ruling additionally stated that the spending was a form of political speech that is protected by the First Amendment, according to the official blog of the Supreme Court of the United States.
These corporations, along with the people they support, other millionaires who theyre putting into office, are stealing your government, Johnson was quoted as saying by CNS News. Theyre stealing the government and the U.S. Supreme Court was a big enabler with the Citizens United case.
2012 was the single worst year of a horrible Obama presidency. The ONLY reason Obama survived to be re-elected is because the media got him there. The media covered up disasters and scandals from national security leaks in the spring to make Obama look good for his campaign (impeachable), to Fast & Furious and the absurd exec. privilege claim, to the lies and cover up of Benghazi, to the cover up of the botched federal response to Sandy and the true depths of the economic mess we're in, inc. falsifying job and employment numbers. Any one of these things would have been used to sink a Republican incumbent by the US news media. For Obama, they covered it all up.
So please don't sit there and tell us it's corporations that have undo influence over the country. It's the left wing US news media that is subverting democracy, working their hearts out to get Democrats elected or to keep them in office by ensuring voters cast their votes in near total ignorance to the facts and the truth about Democratic candidates from Obama on down. Those parent companies of media outlets that aren't left wing oriented are nonetheless allowing that kind of left wing subversion of our republic contrary to their interests, not in furtherance of them. It's amazing a stooge like this can get elected---and his fascist comments likely being ignored by the news media other than this local Atlanta affiliate will only prove the truth of what I'm saying.
The Dems want to get rid of the 1st and 2nd Amendment ... before the next election I predict the 22nd Amendment will be under attack. ;-)
I think someone should tell the kongress critter there is a 2nd Amendment prohibition against what he's trying to do.
There was no control of his speech when he was concerned about Guam capsizing.
Repealing the lst and 2nd Amendments is a Democrat wet dream.
Repealing the 22nd is Obama's wet dream.
Drop Dead Hank Johnson...you moron!
Hank sounds like he might be a Nazi.
I saw this racist bigot on FOX today. I think it was Darrell Issa who called him out and put him in his place. One thing was obvious to me, if it wasn't for his skin color, this moron probably wouldn't have a job.
The idiot needs to go stand at the heavy end of Guam.
And that's a bad thing? I prefer my life to be as private as possible.
Hey, Hank, here's some advice for you: get off the funny mushrooms before you proceed to bath salts and end up just another zombie/cannibal.
I wouldn't mind if they repealed the 19th amendment. (Donning my flamesuit.)
It should be.
LOL! Flame suit will be needed. ;-)
The Congressman is talking like a dunce.
Now, I'm not so sure.
"I am embarrassed by the sliding intelligence of my countrymen when I read this type of stupidity."
You mean like the following example:
Everybody in Cleveland, low minorities, got Obama phone. Keep Obama in president, you know. He gave us a phone, he gonna do more. You sign up! If you on food stamps, you on social security, you got low income, you disability
Not only would I not mind it, I have been advocating it since the late 1970's.
Do not be afraid, unless you sleep in a place that contains both a woman and a cast-iron frying pan.
The way most women vote, it's hard to disagree with you.
Hey! Just look at Alcee Hastings (D), impeached for corruption and removed from the federal bench, and who was elected in 1992 and has been reelected every two since then. Unfortunately, it appears that stupidity is related to skin color in both cases.
Can't fix stupid.
Totaliarian by any other name is still totalitarian.
True. He would love several more terms, in the name of national interest of course.
True. He would love several more terms, in the name of national interest of course.
People who are so fence post stupid that they think an island like Guam might tip over should never be allowed to speak and never be quoted if they do. How 'bout dat?
I could agree to limitations on free speech if it applied to lying politicians, lying media and unions.
Not one shred of doubt
Of course.
The first pie-hole to be silenced would be his!
"The Congressman is talking like a dunce."
If you can bear to listen to him for 30 seconds, you'll realize he is a dunce.
What mindless masses vote for these low-lifes?
This is not to agree with the Congresscritter, but isn't the left wing media controlled and owned by, D'UH, corporations, and filling their coffers with dollars that come from advertising by other corporations, which apparently is successful selling products to consumers, some of whom even vote?!
"This would be the Congressman that was afraid that Guam would tip over if we increased our Military presence there? "
The very same, and notably, he's also one of Holder's People. Clearly an Affirmative Action type, so all he needs to do is roll up his sleeve and put his arm next to that of his constituents for comparison and he's elected (again and again).
I agree in spirit, however, I believe in free speech for all, regardless. Otherwise someone or some group would have to decide what to accept or reject. As it stands, all Americans are the ones to decide what they accept or reject and I like that just fine. JMHO ;-)
Just think: If a White GOP Congressman said this, the HeteroPhobes at MSNBC would have their bowels so twisted they would have to eat toilet paper
But, since it is a Black Racist who thinks Guam will tip over...I guess its OK to take away people's Const. rights

Heard about this comment but the news blurb didn't mention he struggled to put two words together while preening for the cameras, as an old friend of mine would say, "You cannot be this f***ing stupid!"...
Perhaps somebody should provisionally agree to curtail citizen speech in exchange for the removal of Congress' article 1, section 6 protection and immunity from prosecution for the words spoken by members in debate on the floor.
Nice job of summarizing reality
This imbecile congress creature is too stupid to realize he's a moron

So my 27 month-old is still BF and we are both very happy about it He still wakes up once at night (a couple of times when he is teething).
About a month ago, he started coughing terribly after I BF him just before bed and he got congested so bad and would cough so bad that he would vomit everything every night. Then he would wake up again in the middle of the night and vomit again after he nursed. We took him to a doctor and she gave albuterol sulfate because he had some wheezing. (We also gave him Zyrtek since the doctor said it is a seasonal allergy) We used it for 5 days, the vomiting stopped but he still wakes up at night and starts regurgitating and coughing after I nurse him.
He was diagnosed with reflux when he was 10 months old and used Prilosec for about 3 months but after that we never had such problems.
Is it possible that reflux can come and go like this? Should I stop BF him at night. I already have little milk left and I started working full time during the day so I dread taking his night milk from him but maybe I am doing more harm than good???

If you have hearing problems, help is available. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your hearing loss.
Options include:
- Removing wax blockage. Earwax blockage is a common reversible cause of hearing loss. Your doctor may remove earwax by loosening it with oil and then flushing, scooping or suctioning the softened wax out.
- Hearing aids. If your hearing loss is due to damage to your inner ear, a hearing aid can help by making sounds stronger and easier for you to hear. An audiologist can discuss with you the potential benefits of using a hearing aid, recommend a device and fit you with it. In some cases, you may be satisfied with an inexpensive, over-the-ear microphone device available at electronic stores. You may need to try more than one device to find one that works well for you.
- Cochlear implants. If you have severe hearing loss, a cochlear implant may be an option for you. Unlike a hearing aid that amplifies sound and directs it into your ear canal, a cochlear implant compensates for damaged or nonworking parts of your inner ear. If you're considering a cochlear implant, your audiologist, along with a medical doctor who specializes in disorders of the ears, nose and throat (ENT), can discuss the risks and benefits with you.

Ball named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week
RB could set TD record next week
Montee Ball is on the verge of making history.
The running back for the University of Wisconsin was named the Big Ten offensive player of the week for his performance against Indiana last Saturday.
But he's also on the verge of setting the NCAA record for career rushing touchdowns.
He's one behind Miami of Ohio's Travis Prentice, who had 78. Ball would love to get the record with a couple against Ohio State Saturday not just for himself, but for others as well.
"I'm a competitive player, I like to have my own records," said Ball. "I believe everyone does, but I also like to share with my teammates."
"Just talking about the last game-- having the rushing record.. with Melvin and James, that was -- that's something I'll never forget, " said Ball. "Obviously, I want the touchdown record because that's something I've been working hard for and really that's something all of us will share, you know, together."
Wisconsin plays Ohio State at Camp Randall Stadium Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Eggplant's called "the king of vegetables" for a good reason. It allows you to create a hearty sauce without meat. The chunky sauce is compatible with a toothsome and visually interesting pasta, such as long fusilli or perciatelli. I especially like to garnish the servings with dollops of creamy goat cheese; everyone loves the flavor, texture, and aroma as it melts into the eggplant sauce.
12 ounces long fusilli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound unpeeled eggplant, cut into 2-inch-long, ¼-inch-thick, by ½-inch-wide strips; about 4 cups
½ cup coarsely chopped onion
½ cup coarsely chopped green bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium tomatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste Freshly ground pepper, toasted pine nuts, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; add the fusilli. When the water returns to a boil, stir occasionally to separate the fusilli. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is nearly tender and lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; stir in the tomatoes, capers, oregano, pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
When the pasta is done, drain well. Transfer to shallow pasta bowls; top the servings with the eggplant sauce.

PITTSBURGH, PA (July 29, 2006) – US Representatives John Mica and Tim Murphy met at Pittsburgh International Airport at the Allegheny County Airport Authority offices with Kent George, Executive Director/CEO of the Airport Authority, and Joe Terrell, Federal Security Director, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on Saturday, July 29.
Following the meeting, Mica and Murphy along with other officials toured areas of the airport recently renovated to improve and speed up the screening process for both checked bags and passengers.
These areas included the Alternate Security Checkpoint and the South Baggage Matrix.
The Alternate Security Checkpoint opened November 19, 2005, right before the busiest travel holiday of the year: Thanksgiving. These four new lanes for security screenings opened in the airport`s former commuter terminal. This Alternate Security Checkpoint supplements the Main Security Checkpoint, which has seven lanes available for screening.
Passengers are directed to access the Alternate Security Checkpoint, which is open during peak travel times, by airport personnel.
"We have realized great success with the Alternate Security Checkpoint. We have virtually eliminated long waits at security thanks to this addition. We have met our goal of keeping security lines under ten minutes," said George.
To access the Alternate Security Checkpoint passengers exit the Landside Terminal from the Ticketing Level on to the Commercial Departures curb. Passengers then walk under a canopy to the walkway that leads to the Alternate Security Checkpoint. Individuals who need wheelchair assistance will continue to access their gates by going through the Main Security Checkpoint.
"The key to the project's success has been the teamwork and cooperation of the Airport Authority staff and the TSA," George stated. "Everyone involved has come together to ensure that we met our deadline and the high standards for quality customer service and security at Pittsburgh International Airport."
Pittsburgh International Airport's South Baggage Matrix provides In-Line Screening of Checked bags. The Project has recently been the honored recipient of the Diamond Award Certificate of Engineering Excellence by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Pennsylvania (ACEC/PA).
The South Matrix is a $14.5 million dollar project funded by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Allegheny County Airport Authority. The system, which opened in January 2005, allows airline ticket counter personnel to tag baggage and place it on the baggage belt behind the counter. The baggage then moves to a secured, 10,000 square foot screening room on the south end of the Landside Terminal, where Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners operate explosive detection (EDS) equipment.
The project benefits passengers by saving them time in the check in process. It also significantly enhances the efficiency of screening checked bags. The automated baggage handling system means passengers no longer carry checked-bags to a TSA screener. Passengers now move freely and quickly to the security checkpoint.
"The project improves customer service while at the same time increases efficiency in the screening process. It has worked so well on the South Matrix, that a similar project is planned for the North Matrix for US Airways ticketing," said George.

Illinois man to begin Iowa trial in boating death
Iowa jury selection is scheduled to begin for a 40-year-old Illinois man charged with manslaughter in a fatal boating accident on the Mississippi River.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald says Kent Hoffman, of Galena, Ill., also is charged with operating a boat while intoxicated, causing a fatal accident. He's pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Assistant Dubuque County Attorney Michael Whalen says jury selection is set to begin Monday.
Authorities say Hoffman was driving a boat that ran over another boat in Schmidt Harbor in Dubuque on the night of Sept. 1. The driver of the other boat, 45-year-old James Sutton, of Maquoketa (muh-KOH'-kih-tuh), Iowa, was killed.
Lori Fey was a passenger in Sutton's boat but was not seriously injured.

George Washington once said of Marietta: "I know of no country where I should rather fix my habitation." For the first 28 years or so of my life, I agreed wholeheartedly before I finally relented to the big city's call. While Hocking Hills rightfully gets a lot of attention as an outdoor-enthusiast destination, National Geographic listed only one spot in Ohio in its 2009 feature of the country's "100 Best Adventure Towns." Fittingly, it's the state's first city: Marietta. The Pioneer City is more than just an adventurer's dream, however. From beer bars to live music, antiques to history, just about anyone can find something to discover in this majestic river city.
Dives, dance halls and beer meccas, oh my!
First things first: booze. Marietta's downtown and west side neighborhoods are littered with numerous spots to wet your whistle. They're all within walking distance of each other, so a veritable boozehound's bar crawl can be had quite easily. Whatever your predilection, don't miss the following watering holes:
Marietta Brewing Co.: From stouts to shandys, this 17-year-old brewery offers a range of solid brews in a charming setting. Huge artful murals — one of which recreates a picture of early 20th century Marietta brewers — adorn the pub's exposed-brick walls, making the spot the quintessential Marietta experience.
The Galley/Adelphia: Rumored to be haunted by a ghost named Charlotte, the craft-beer mecca The Galley and its adjacent concert hall, The Adelphia, is located in a former "house of ill repute." The bar/restaurant features a well-curated 24 taps, and the concert venue has hosted acts ranging from Southern Culture on the Skids to Bubba Sparxxx.
Harmar Tavern: A west-side dive home to the "soon-to-be-famous fried-bologna sandwich."
Turn down(town) for what!
From antique shops to fashion boutiques, art galleries to a Coca-Cola museum and ice cream/soda pop shoppe, you won't find a more eclectic and bustling downtown in a small town. The highlight, however, is justAJar Design Press, a letterpress that practices the age-old crafts of typesetting and woodblock printing. The design team of Bobby Rosenstock and Sarah Alway have created posters for the Nelsonville Music Festival, Belle and Sebastian and The Flaming Lips, among others. Give 'em a shout ahead of time, and they'll give you a personal tour of their loft.
Quaint community festivals
The biggest and most famous is the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival (Sept. 5-7), but my favorite is the newly established Rivers, Trails and Ales Festival, a weekend long celebration of Marietta's diverse outdoor offerings and beer scene. Dive in Aug. 7-10 with kayak tours, organized mountain bike and road rides, trail runs and the ever-popular Mighty Muskingum River Raft Race where participants race their own hand-crafted vessels.
Adventure City, Ohio
Speaking of outdoor pursuits, you'd be remiss to leave Marietta without exploring the area's diverse outdoor offerings. Tour the city's two major rivers and other creeks and streams via kayak or enjoy a more leisurely ride on the Valley Gem sternwheel boat. Join local fishermen at Devol's Dam, or avoid the water altogether and use two wheels to discover the dozen miles or so of single-track trails within the city's limits. Or embrace the city's slower side with a more comfortable bike ride along the walking/biking trail that stretches along both major rivers.
Explore the city's rich history
Short of visiting one of the country's original 13 colonies, you won't find an American city with more historical roots. The roads are lined with bricks, the houses adorned with plaques declaring this one home to a former vice president and that one "The House of Seven Porches." Even the cemeteries are worth a look-see. They're flat-out beautiful, for one, but they're also filled with more Revolutionary War soldiers than anywhere else in the country, and one cemetery's even home to a large Hopewell burial mound.

Green Valley Country Club
Greenville, South Carolina
June 21-24, 2004
Wang continues hot play with first-round 69
GREENVILLE, S.C. â Paul Haley of Dallas and Ryan LeFevre of Boca Raton, Fla., shot matching 4-under-par 68s to take the first-round lead of the Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship. Catherina Wang of Sarasota, Fla., took an early 5-stroke lead in the Girls Division, firing a 3-under-par 69
The seventh annual Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship is a 54-hole stroke-play event, conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at Green Valley Country Club. The tournament includes 99 boy and girl junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 16 states and Canada. Five Rolex Junior All-Americans and 27 South Carolina natives highlight the field.
Haley and LeFevre shot identical 68s but in no way was their round alike. Haley came out of the gates red hot, carding a birdie on the first hole after his approach shot finished one foot from the hole. After pars on holes Nos. 2 and 3, the 16-year-old struck again, making birdie putts on Nos. 4, 6, and 7, to go to 4-under-par through seven holes.
âI really got off to a good start with a birdie on my first hole and continued my momentum through the first seven holes,â Haley commented. âThis course requires you to hit the ball in the fairway and have a strong short game, which really fits my strengths.â
After the torrid start to the front nine, Haley played consistent on his way to the clubhouse, making pars on his remaining 11 holes to card a bogey free round. Haley has been steady thus far this season with a third place tie at the TaylorMade-addidas Golf Junior at The Woodlands and a sixth place finish in the AJGA Lubbock Junior presented by United Supermarkets.
LeFevre owns a share of the first-round lead, however, he started a little slower than Haley. LeFevre began his day with a good break on the first hole, after his tee shot ricocheted off trees and found itself near the fairway. The opening led to a par on No. 1 and really set the tone for his day. âEven though it was the first hole, the bounce off the tree really settled me down and I knew I was in for a decent day,â LeFevre said.
The day turned out to be a little more than decent, with LeFevre making six birdies and just two bogies. After tallying back-to-back birdies on the front nine, he went on to record a birdie on No. 10 and ran a string of birdies together starting at No. 14 and ending with a two-foot birdie putt on No. 16.
âI felt very relaxed out there today,â LeFevre explained. â I hit my tee shots well, my irons really solid, and when I did happen to miss my location, I missed on the proper side.â
Trailing the leaders by two strokes is Raj Nahal from Longwood, Fla., posting an first round 70. Charlie Holland of Dallas, a high school teammate of Haley, is tied with Nicholas Smith of Ocala, Fla., at 1-under-par to round out the top-five.
In the Girls Division, Wang continued her stellar play in 2004, with a 3-under-par 69 to take a five-stroke lead after day one. Wang, 15, who recently won the Ringgold Telephone Company Junior Classic and finished in a tie for ninth at the TaylorMade-addidas Golf Junior at Chateau Elan, marked four birdies and one lone bogey. She carded a 35 on the front nine, with consecutive birdies on Nos. 5 and 6 and finished with a back nine 2-under-par 34.
âI hit a lot of fairways and greens today,â Wang commented. âI really tried to stay focused out there and make a lot of pars. By hitting shots close to the hole, I was able to eliminate three-putts.â
The highlight of the day for Wang was her tee shot on the par-3, 159-yard fourteenth. Her shot nearly flew into the hole for an ace, eventually resting three feet away from the flagstick for an easy birdie.
Finishing the first day 5-strokes behind the leader was Hannah Brabb of Maitland, Fla., Jessica Yadloczky of Cassleberry, Fla., and Christina Wentworth of Macon, Ga. The trio posted rounds of 2-over-par 74.
The second round of the Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship will continue Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. off No. 1.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries. Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. For more information about the Dunlop Carolina Junior Championship, please contact tournament headquarters at (864) 246-3941 or visit the AJGA Web site at ajga.org.

ALBANY, NY — According to a coalition of groups and individuals opposed to hydraulic fracturing, the more than 200,000 comments delivered regarding proposed new regulations constitute a record. During the last comment period regarding fracking, some 66,000 were submitted.
Many boxes were delivered to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in Albany on January 11, in a sort-of ceremony, complete with police escort and a celebrity-topped press conference.
At the press conference, Yoko Ono, who owns a home in Delaware County and who recently founded the group Artists Against Fracking, praised Governor Andrew Cuomo for the environmental initiatives he outlined in his State of the State address on January 9. In that address, he said that climate change and promoting alternative energy were important goals. Ono said, "With clean energy development and by saving energy, as the governor has outlined, there is no reason to risk the dirty energy of fracking."
Ono's son, Sean Lennon, also addressed the assembled reporters and television crews. He noted that the company named Halliburton is heavily involved in the fracking process, and that former Vice President Dick Cheney had a long relationship with Halliburton. Cheney, Lennon said, helped to get the fracking process exempted from the Clean Drinking Water Act and Clean Air Act. If it's not safe enough for those two laws, "then it should not be safe enough for New York State."
Jill Wiener, from Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, also spoke at the news conference, and said that the proposed regulations were written based on a false premise—that drilling and fracking would "promote economic activity." But she said, "Economist Dr. Jannette Barth, with absolutely no ties to the shale gas industry, has concluded that the DEC has cherry picked its research findings from pro-drilling sources in derogation of completeness, accuracy and the public interest."
A press release from the coalition said that the drilling issue has become deeply entwined with the political process at the state and local levels in some areas. It said, "In July, a Freedom of Information Act request by the Environmental Working Group revealed that gas industry lobbyists were given preferential access to draft regulations by DEC, allowing them to lobby for changes before the regulations were released to the public. A few weeks ago, Common Cause released an analysis of campaign contributions of pro-fracking interests during the 2012 election cycle. It showed pro-fracking interests contributed nearly $400,000 to candidates for state legislature and county executive in New York's Southern Tier. In some races, contributions from pro-fracking interests were more than 20% of a candidate's total fundraising."

SAC Capital Indicted on Decade-Long Fraud Conspiracy Charges
Updated from 2:52 p.m. ET with SAC Capital statement and additional information throughout .
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If Steven A. Cohen and his hedge fund SAC Capital are the prized catch in a half-decade regulatory dragnet of insider trading on Wall Street, Thursday may be the day legal authorities finally set their hook.
A grand jury has indicted hedge fund giant SAC Capital for one count of wire fraud and four counts of securities fraud, in an insider trading conspiracy U.S. prosecutors allege lasted over a decade and led to hundreds of million of dollars in illegal profits and avoided losses.
"Unlawful conduct by individual employees and an institutional indifference to that unlawful conduct resulted in insider trading that was substantial, pervasive and on a scale without known precedent in the hedge fund industry," U.S. prosecutors said in a criminal complaint unsealed on Thursday.
The hedge fund's alleged insider trading occurred between 1999 and at least 2010, according to the complaint, which was filed by Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
"SAC became, over time, a veritable magnet for market cheaters," Bharara said at a Thursday press briefing.
Illicit profits came "at the expense of members of the investing public," and prosecutors will seek a forfeiture of alleged unlawful gains, Bharara said. The U.S. attorney also levied civil money laundering charges against the fund.
While prosecutors are indicting SAC and its affiliates CR Intrinsic and Sigma Capital , they have not charged the hedge fund's billionaire head Steven A. Cohen.
Fraud charges against SAC Capital do put the firm's viability in doubt. "SAC will continue to operate as we work through these matters," Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesperson for SAC Capital, said in an e-mailed statement Thursday. "SAC has never encouraged, promoted or tolerated insider trading."
SAC Capital has hired law firms Willkie Farr & Gallagher and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to defend the fund against the government's charges.
At its peak, SAC Capital managed over $15 billion in investor assets and boasted some of the best returns in the industry since its founding in 1992. The fund also made its founder Cohen a billionaire as a result of abnormally high fees, charging investors up to 3% annually for assets under management and 50% of investment gains.
The criminal complaint alleges SAC's insider trading involved at least eight portfolio managers and research analysts and the trading of nearly two-dozen publicly traded companies such as Dell
Prosecutors also said on Thursday Richard Lee, a former SAC Capital portfolio manager, pleaded guilty on July 23 to conspiracy and securities fraud after admitting he obtained inside information and made trades based on that information while employed with SAC.

Honolulu firefighters rescued a paraglider stuck overnight on an Oahu mountain.
Fire Capt. Terry Seelig said the paraglider, Jorge Atramiz, called for help Thursday afternoon after he had problems with his kite. Seelig says the paraglider was blown from the windward side of the Koolau mountains over to the leeward side.
Atramiz, 35, has 11 years of paragliding experience and considered one of the best in the sport. Which is why friends are convinced he survived the emergency landing.
"Because (the glider) is not rigid, it's just fabric, downwind comes and it could fold over. So now I only have half a glider hanging and this thing is stuck underneath me," said Tom Therrien, a friend of Atramiz and fellow paraglider. "If it was me, I'd be freaking out a little bit, but Jorge, he just looks at it and no big deal. He just flies the half the wing and he went and landed it."
But it was a precarious spot where Atramiz landed.
"Going down it's very steep and leads to waterfalls he can't get past. Going up it's slippery and steep and you really need ropes," said Seelig.
Friends and rescuers had been in contact with Atramiz by cellphone. Atramiz's friend said the paraglider pilot joked that Domino's Pizza would not deliver to his location Thursday night.
After cloud cover lifted, the Honolulu Fire Department's Air 1 chopper was able to fly in to rescue Atramiz. Back on the ground after the 18 hour ordeal, Atramiz explained he was flying from Makapuu to Kahana Valley and lost his direction in what they call the "white room".
"I was pulling out of the valley to get far away from the clouds, but one of them started to go up really fast and sucked me up and that was the last thing I saw," said Atramiz.
Atramiz was unhurt but said he was cold and thirsty and didn't sleep during the ordeal.
"Everytime I wake up, I was in a different place because I was sliding down," Atramiz said.
But he was unhurt and despite the harrowing experience, was thinking of heading back up Friday afternoon.

Anyone Know of a Diet that Really Keeps the Weight Off??
Ok, ok. I know *no* diet will "work" - it has to be a lifestyle change.
Ok, so does anyone know of a LIFESTYLE CHANGE that actually makes you lose weight and keep it off, and isn't torture and doesn't involve eating 10 bowls of cabbage soup a day, or diet pills or anything weird?
I have done Weight Watchers countless times now. It works to take the weight off - I am able to succeed in that endeavor time and time again. The problem is, the weight creeps back on and it seems like now every January I have to go back on it to re-lose the weight again and I'M TIRED OF DOING WEIGHT WATCHERS. I just am. And clearly once I lose the weight, I don't maintain it. Because I like to eat. That's the problem ya see.
So here it is January, and I have the usual Christmas Blubber I want to lose and I just don't know what to do this time. I really don't have the motivation or desire to do Weight Watchers again...but all the other diets I've looked at require you to eat in a way that I'm sure I won't be able to stick to for the long term.
The *only* thing I can think of is to exercise a lot. But if you know me, you know I *hate* to exercise and I *hate* to sweat.
Quite a dilemma here.
I need some ideas, inspiration and motivation. I even thought of "bribing myself" with a new purse or new rustic furniture for our cabin if I could lose 30 lbs. But I don't even know how to lose 30 pounds other than Weight Watchers.... :-/
If you have any suggestions on how you lost weight and kept it off, I'd be interested to hear what worked for you - please share!!
The end.

A few years ago I lost 25 lbs on South Beach and have kept it off by staying low-carb. We eat very little bread, pasta, or any grain and I feel so much better. Everyone is different, but that's what worked for me! The book "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes explains well why carbs are so harmful. I also woul recommend "Wheat Belly." Good luck!ReplyDelete
Sadly, I have the same sad story. I used to be such a svelt size 10!!! Working at a computer all day has made me into a blimp!ReplyDelete
One that worked for me eons ago (when I had the time) was going on long walks. I used to pack up my two little girls in a stroller and we'd walk about 3 miles a day. I lost a LOT of weight that way. Of course, who has time now, right?
Another friend of mine used to fast every other day. She lost some weight but I moved away so I don't know if she ever made her goal.
I guess a lot of it has to do with food choices. Beer is AWFUL because it converts into fat almost as soon as it passes the uvula. Cheese, breads, pasta, etc = bad.
Still, I like to eat, especially Italian food. Tough choices....
Exercise and watching your calories. I lost all of mine on the slimfast diet. It just incorporates 2 protein shakes or bars into your total calories. I was on a 1600 calorie diet per day with exercise. Viola! 80+ lbs gone and I just watch what I eat now since I don't take the protein shakes/bars all the time now as they are quite expensive. When I was on the study I got coupons to purchase then for free. Losing a couple lbs a week is the proper way to take it off and being able to keep it off per the dietician I was seeing.ReplyDelete
Hi, I came over from Erika Jean's blog when I saw your post headline. PLEASE some visit my blog for some inspiration from my son - he recently lost 85 pounds.ReplyDelete
GO to my blog and click on the TAB on the top that says TONYS TIPS. There are links to about 25 of his posts about diet and weight loss.... http://snugharborbay.blogspot.com/
You can also go directly to Tony's new blog and check it out as well. We just started it this week and haven't transferred all his posts over yet, but please check him out...
There are healthy alternatives to losing weight and Tony is proof of it. Come on by!
P.S. I'm a geocacher too!!!ReplyDelete
If you find the Holy Grail, let me know! I have 25lbs that need another home, after bringing home 4 kids! Dr. Oz touted this brand of Mango African Mango Burn - The Ultimate African Mango Fat Burning Supplement. Pure Irvingia Gabonensis Weight Loss, Appetite Suppressing Diet Pill
by African Mango Burn. I am waiting for Spring, when I have a sane chance to go walking daily and take the supplement...right now, it would be trudging through snow.... (hey that might be a workout too! Albeit a wet one!)That is my plan... I like the bribing yourself part!
I hear ya!! I have to lose a lot of weight. I was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 yrs or so ago and neglected it until now. I was in denial that I had diabetes. I just went along eating whatever I wanted. Well, a friend of mine, her husband, had a physical and his blood glucose was horrible. I mean really bad. He may lose his job (he drives truck) if he doesn't get his blood sugars lowered A LOT.ReplyDelete
That woke me up. I don't drive truck and I have had physicals and blood tests in the past and that didn't wake me up but hearing how high his levels were did. I have been feeling really horrible the past few years and blamed it on some other health conditions but I know that my blood sugars being high was a part of it. High blood sugar makes you very tired, almost as if you have narcolepsy. You are fatigued 24/7. Its hard to get any housework done because you are not up to it.
I thought of how my life will definitely be shortened if I continued to neglect my health. I thought of my husband and how he would have to deal with it all. I thought of my siblings, friends etc and how they would be devastated. I thought of how much I am responsible for my health and to finally man up about it.
For the past 5 days, I have been making better eating choices. I am a chocaholic and its hard but my cravings for junk are not as bad as I thought they would be. What I do is eat small things throughout the day, it keeps my blood sugars in balance instead of drastic highs and lows.
I eat salads, fruit, natural peanut butter, peanuts, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, cheese, vegetables etc. I also still eat meat but in way smaller portions than what I used to eat.
I look at it this way, I can still enjoy eating delicious food but in smaller portions and don't clump it all in one day.
I hope that you find a reason to make healthier choices, its hard I know. I am almost 40 and have been overweight most of my life. I battle chronic health conditions but am trying to make a change.
You can do this!!! It truly is mind over matter!
I read each and every comment, and though I don't always get a chance to respond, I enjoy reading (and pondering) what you have to say. Thanks for your 2 cents! :-)

Free Notary Training in Kalispell and Helena
The Montana Secretary of State's Office will be presenting free notary training on October 24th in Kalispell at Glacier Bank and on November 14th in Helena at Mountain West Bank. Seats are still available for both classes, but space is limited.
Training is required for all prospective notaries and certain renewing notaries. While training is not required for currently commissioned Montana notaries in good standing, we have found that those who have attended a class have found the information to be very valuable and worthwhile and we encourage you to take advantage of such courses.
This course covers the basic powers and duties of the office of the notary public and will discuss the ethical and practical situations that notaries face. The class fulfills the training requirement for new notaries and is eligible for 3.5 continuing education credits from the State Bar for legal professionals and from the Office of Public Instruction for education professionals.

On the wall in the basement of the North Central College President's House is a picture of our 1993 NCAA Division III National Championship men's cross country team. (That was the year North Central men set the NCAA record for lowest score!) The photograph hangs directly opposite the beat-up leather chair where I sit to work without any distractions. On this July day, there is a major one — the staccato rat-a-tat-tat of a visiting drum and bugle corps practicing morning, noon and night outside the Fort Hill residence complex, a sound that can be heard everywhere in the house except the basement.
At North Central, with an academic year that stretches into mid-June, summer is short, and we like to think of it as a quiet time, an opportunity to charge our batteries for the fall. But as the drums of July remind me, every year brings more and more activity to these months, from the 240 students from Chicago's west side and Aurora's east side participating in our Junior/Senior Scholars Program, to the more than 10,000 involved in athletic and academic camps, summer school courses, classes for the gifted, and summer theatre productions. This is a great thing, making year-round use of our facilities, and exposing hundreds of potential students to the College … but not very conducive to writing a column for North Central Now.
In exile in my basement, I stare a little longer at the 42 young men in that picture, now in their 30s, and think about the impact they are having as teachers, businessmen, lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs, parents and socially committed community members … to cite just a few of their roles and achievements. In cross country, only the scores of the top five finishers count in the team total. In 1993, in the team numbers, North Central came in 1, 2, 5, 6 and 18 — producing the record low score of 32 — but there were 42 champions on that team, as the picture reminds me, and as their lives are demonstrating.
Summer is a time for day-dreaming about triumphs to come … another great cross country season, maybe the best North Central football team in 50 years … but also, for reflecting upon where we have been, and where we hope to go — and putting the campus in shape to get there. We are preparing for the largest class of new students, freshmen and transfers, in the College's history. We've made three wonderful new appointments in key campus positions, Jim Miller '86 as athletic director; Martin Sauer as dean of admission and financial aid; and Adrian Aldrich '02 as director of alumni relations. The campus is abuzz with projects to improve the physical plant, from the renovation of the west wing of Oesterle Library's basement) to the soon-to-be-started restoration and transformation of the ETS Administration (Koten Chapel) building, which will be renamed Kiekhofer Hall, thanks to a lead gift from H. Robert Holmes '66. And steady progress is being made in moving our fine arts facility dreams closer to fulfillment.
With all that is going on, the most important thing to do in this "quiet time" is reflect upon the message of those young men in that picture — excellence, what it takes to be the best, to raise the bar, while remaining true to the values that define the special character of this college.
No alumnus in my 15 years at North Central has symbolized that quest — and those values — better than Life Trustee and Board Chair Emeritus Clare Oesterle '39, who died on July 8. A modest and kind man, with a twinkle in his eye and a generosity of spirit that lifted everyone with whom he came into contact, Clare was also a competitor and a practical visionary, who understood the lesson of Coach Al Carius' cross country championships better than anyone else — it takes a team. He led by example, and no one who came into contact with his dreams for this college could ever doubt the heights we can climb as Team NCC. He wanted nothing less than to crowd 15,000 alumni into that picture on my basement wall — champions all. In a busy summer, that is a vision worthy of the sound of the drum and bugle corps outside my window … and the legacy of this very special man.

Roger Penske is dumping Dodge and going back to Ford in 2013 with Yates building his engines.
I remember when Ryan was driving Dodge from 2003-2008. He drove Ford for Roger from 2000-2002. Newman had his very best year ever in 2003 with the Dodge Intrepid(11-poles/8-wins)and was awarded "Speed Channels Driver Of The Year!" Newman also had 7 DNF'S in 2003(bad luck for sure!)......those were the days folks.
But, the Dodge Charger(in 2005) initially was a pig with lip stick. Newman's team didn't have a clue how to balance that car. The only team that mastered that car was Ray Everham with driver Kasey Kahne taking over for Bill Elliot's #9 car. I remember Penske trying all kinds of different nose combinations of the Intrepid/Charger variety. Finally after years of struggle. Nascar and Dodge Motorsports agreed upon an approved nose for all Dodge Charger race teams!
I guess the most notable Dodge driver would have to be The King...Petty!
I always wondered how Nascar fans felt about Toyota being in Nascar?
Well, Nascar life will go on with out Dodge. Chevy has dominated Nascar for many years or should I say General Motors.
