Inventive Charleston artist exhibit to open at USC
By: Frenche Brewer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3691
He's the creative force behind some of Charleston's most recognizable logos, such as the Charleston Riverdogs, Palmetto Brewery and The Center for Birds of Prey. The work of Gil Shuler, one of South Carolina's most innovative visual artists, will be on display at the University of South Carolina McMaster Gallery Oct. 23-Nov.23.
The exhibit is titled "Mechanicals to Megapixels: A Retrospective of Gil Shuler Graphic Design, Inc."
For the past 20 years the Charleston native, who specializes in corporate identity and branding, has created some of the most imaginative and original commercial work in graphic design in the Southeast. Shuler's work has won awards from major national and international design publications such as Communication Arts, Print, HOW and Graphis.
Marius Valdes, art professor in USC's McMaster College who invited Shuler to showcase his work, said it was Shuler who introduced him to graphic design.
"What I really respect and admire about Gil's work is that he is a chameleon in creating creative solutions for any type of business. He can create sophisticated and elegant branding materials for an Irish golf course or he can produce a theater poster that is hand-rendered and as energetic as a Picasso line drawing. He is a master of typography and thought-provoking imagery. This collection of work he is bringing to the art department will showcase his work skills from old-school hand-rendered mechanicals to digital mastery of graphic design software," Valdes said.
Shuler said the presentation will feature multiple works, including prints, books and old mechanical boards -- the handmade camera ready art, representing some of Gil Shuler's most iconic projects.
"I am very excited about this show, particularly that it will showcase 27 years of various work that started pre-computers. Hopefully, students and non-students alike will enjoy seeing graphic art that has come full circle from ink on boards to digital art, and that no matter what medium, the idea is always the main objective," Shuler said.
Shuler graduated from Western Carolina University with a fine arts degree in graphic design and began his professional career by working as an agency art director in Charleston. In 1985, he launched Gil Shuler Graphic Design, Inc., a firm that has grown into a widely recognized leader in the communication design market. The company has been honored regionally and nationally with hundreds of top awards in brand development and marketing, communication arts design, print advertising and other categories.
"I would argue that even though his work is mainly commercial, Gil Shuler is one of the most important visual artists in South Carolina. We are lucky to have him bring his bag of tricks to USC. I believe many of our students will be truly inspired by his work the way I was 20 years ago and still am today," Valdez said.
McMaster Gallery is located in USC's art department, 1615 Senate St.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. weekdays, closed weekends and university holidays. All events are free and open to the public.
A reception for Shuler is set for 6-7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25, in the gallery. The public is invited.
For more information contact Mana Hewitt, gallery director 803-777-7480 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

This was my second purchase from DrillSpot and I am completely satisfied with my overall experience.
Drillspot had the best price I could find. They shipped very quickly. The item was well packaged. I could not have been more satisfied.
Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.+ More Testimonials

Winter harsh on honeybees
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Ohio beekeepers lost 50 to 60 percent of loss of colonies over the winter, according to the Ohio Dept of Agriculture. It's something that could have a big impact on the state's agriculture industry.
"We rely on honeybees to pollinate more than 70 crops such as strawberries, apples, and pumpkins," said Brett Gates with the Ohio Dept of Agriculture.
The cold wasn't the only issue honeybees had to deal with. Colonies have faces higher numbers of disease, pests, and pesticides in recent years.
"Over the last 5 years we've seen about a 5 percent increase in viruses affecting colonies," said Gates.
At the same time conditions have gotten tougher for bees, the number of colonies in Ohio has increased. Gates says more and more people are turning to beekeeping in recent years.
"We have seen an uptick here of around 27 percent since around 2008," said Gates.
Last year, Ohio had nearly 4,400 beekeepers registered in the state.

Having just passed a kidney stone, I decided to try and shoot the rally, instead of riding the 40+ miles. Since it is impossible to be in more than one place at the same time, I only walked away with five shots from an entire day of shooting, and because of one slow car… I wound up missing the one shot I set out to get. Frustrating, nonetheless… but still fun.
In light of all the skateboarding I had been doing, I decided that I wanted to try another board sport that I said I would never do again. Snowboarding. Back when we lived in Albany, NY… I fell snowboarding and broke my left arm REALLY bad. I can still feel the bone-scarring through my skin. I swore I would never snowboard again. Well… I guess I swore wrong. Back in January, Erin, Cody, and Chris were headed up to Cataloochee… so I decided to join them. I was never any good at snowboarding. I couldn't get my edges down and always got hurt, so I was apprehensive about how I would take to it this time around. Miraculously, it clicked, and before I knew it I was shredding pretty well, and having a BLAST.So I decided to buy the most METAL looking snowboard I could. And started going every two weeks all the way through March until the mountains closed. This particular trip up to Sugar, it rained on us the ENTIRE DAY. Soaking wet from head-to-toe is an understatementSOAKED. But that smile on my face is pretty much priceless. Snowboarding gives me that same feeling skating does, which is totally indescribable and absolutely badicalIn fact, we were so soaking wet, that we had to take a break and drive to the laundromat to dry everything off. Lieze snapped this cool photo during my laudro-nap. Once our clothes were dry, we suited up and hit the mountain again. Good good timesIn January I was also lucky enough to be able to attend the ASD Mob Seminar up in Charlotte. What an AMAZING amazing experience. Ian, Dave, and the crew as ASD know their stuff like no other team in Formula Drift. There. I said it. The fact that they wanted to give back to the grassroots community with a program like this is really too phenomenal for words. The things they taught us totally made me re-think everything in regard to car-setup for drifting. I seriously can never thank these guys enoughIn May, I ran in the Warrior Dash with (left to right) my brother Jonathan, Dad, Mom, Tom Hanks from Castaway, and parent's friend JoelEveryone HAS to do one of these races. It is REALLY fun, and a very wild race! The obstacles are actually a nice way to break up the distance. I won't lie – you get filthy dirty in ways you can't really imagine until you do it. But it is an absolute RIOTAlso, in May… I picked up another guitar I've always wanted. Definitely a staple for both heavy metal and rock and roll. An Epiphone Flying V. I also snagged a sweet li'l mini-stack by Marshall. Needless to say my office is a thrash-zone!rnIn June, Alex let me borrow his Honda Camino, and I went with he, Eugene, and the rest of the Swoop Jockeys on a 50+ mile moped ride from Cabbagetown all the way to Northpoint Mall for the Cars and Coffee meet. I don't know what it was about these crappy old neglected things… but I kinda fell in love with them. As fate would have it, Chad wanted to get rid of his old Tomos A35… so I bought hisI started sanding the paint off, put new bars, seat, controls, taillight, and made a super-sweet headlight cover with a broken Hella cover from the truck. I also made a nice chain guard out of an old '71 Georgia license plate. I still need to get the rest of the teal off the bike – but it is definitely starting to feel more-and-more like minernEvery Sunday morning, I've been riding around Atlanta with these guys… having a blast. We rode through the historic Pullman Yard, and I happened to have my Contour on me. This was a really fun ride!rnIn light of riding basically mini-motorcycles, I decided to take an MSF class with Cody, Wes, and Alex. It is something I would recommend to anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle of any kind. We learned a lot, and I feel a lot safer when I ride now as a result. We all passed both the riding and written tests… so at the end of the weekend, we all got our motorcycle licenses! After we passed our riding tests, we were allowed to swap motorcycles for a lap or two. I put a quick iPhone video together. I'll warn you though – if you aren't one of the people in this video – you won't find it super-exciting hahahaI've been working a bit on tidying up the garage as well. I plan on putting up pegboard on the left-side wall to help free up some space. There isn't a lot of room to move around in there, and I want to try and help it breathe a bit. The BMW has been sitting for a while, with the rear-end still broken. I've been too busy with work to really mess with it, but in the next month-or-so, plan to have it back up and running again!rn

Still, other animals are sometimes turned loose in our unforgiving, excessively, hot desert, locked up in foreclosed homes and discovered in really poor health (if they are alive at all). And this is where the horror begins. These are just a few of the inhumane things that happen to animals in Las Vegas on a daily basis.

Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell to the Young Harris Mountain Lions 16-11 at Gil Coan Field on Wednesday afternoon in nonconference action.
The Tornados used a six-run 5th inning to take an 8-3 lead before the Mountain Lions scored 10 runs over the next two innings to take a 13-8 lead heading into the bottom of the 7th.
BC's Nick Blackwood walked to start the 8th and later scored on a wild pitch before Matt Proffitt doubled in a run and an Eric Renegar RBI single cut the Young Harris lead to two runs heading into the 9th.
The Mountain Lions, though, posted three runs in the top of the 9th to push their lead to five runs, and the Tornados went quietly in the bottom of the 9th to end the game.
Renegar finished 3-for-5 with two RBI's to lead a BC club that banged out 13 hits on the afternoon. Proffitt, Kody Spencer and Hunter Donaldson each had two hits for the Tornados.
Cody Queen put the Tornados up 2-1 in the bottom of the 2nd inning with a two-run homer over the left field fence, his first of the season.
The Tornados and Mountain Lions are scheduled to meet once more this season, at Gil Coan Field on March 27th, with Young Harris holding a 3-2 lead in the season series.
Brevard travels to Tennessee the weekend for a South Atlantic Conference series with the Tusculum Pioneers at Pioneer Park. First pitch for game one is set for 6 p.m. on Friday March 15th, followed by a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Treatments depend on the cause. Surgery will be recommended for some conditions.
Regular eye checkups from an ophthalmologist or optometrist are important. They should be done once a year if you are over age 65. Some experts recommend annual eye exams starting at an earlier age.

'"If there was anything I was going to criticize after three days it was the amount of goals that were going in on certain goaltenders. Other than that I've liked everything about this camp, from the conditioning the players have done in the summertime to how well the intrasquad games have gone and how well they've adapted to trying to keep the obstruction out of the games."'

- Southwold, Aldeburgh, Dunwich & Orford - Just A Short Drive Away
- A 15 Minute Drive to Minsmere, the RSPB's Largest Bird Reserve
- Framlingham, Halesworth & Saxmundham - All 10 minutes Away
Explore East Suffolk
The White Horse is ideally positioned for exploring east Suffolk and sits between the small market towns of Framlingham, Halesworth and Saxmundham.
Dunwich, the nearest coastal point is just 10 miles away. Once a major port, now a mere village, but with a small museum to tell its storey. The coastal towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh are both 20 minutes away. Southwold famous for brightly painted beach huts and fine sandy beach is also home to the Adnam's brewery. Aldeburgh is home to many fine boutiques and where local fisherman sell their daily catch on the beach. Snape Maltings makes for some interesting shopping and their concert hall attracts artists with international status.
It's a short drive to RSPB Minsmere, a haven for bird watchers with over 300 species, including Marsh Harriers, Avocets and the very rare Bittern. There is further nature reserve at Orford Ness and Dunwich Heath makes for an interesting nature walk.
There's interesting history too, with castles at Framlingham and Orford and abbey remains at Leiston and Sibton, the later can only be seen from the road.

The coach was pretty good this afternoon, talking about where his team is after 28 games.
Those quotes will follow.
Same lineup against Ottawa for the 5 p.m. start. Lundqvist in goal.
Denis Potvin is in the building; I believe he's working for the Senators now.
More in a few …
John Tortorella:
On the (relative) improvement at home lately:
"Last game we played good defense. We have up seven or eight scoring chances. But someone asked me the other night why the home (record)? I don't know why. We're trying to play our game and so I'm not going to get too deep into it. We're just going to keep banging away at it and try to be consistent."
Comparison of team concept this year from last:
"I think when you're with one another, longer now, for a year, I think during the year last year we changed a little bit of our team concept because I just don't think we were able to play a certain way. I think this year, I think it's maturity of some of our kids, an addition or two, a subtraction of a couple, and as I said right during camp, you just felt more comfortable with the team, that we were more together.
"And I think that's important when you go through the grind of the season. There's going to be ups and downs, but I just like the team. I like its attitude and I think they're believing they know how to win games different ways, so that's what we're trying to do."
On getting the organization to a point where it competes, regularly, (for championships, though that word was smartly left unsaid):
"I don't know. Right now I think, and I said it at the beginning of the year before the season — I thought we had a great summer because we kept our kids. And we stayed with them. And the foundation of our youth, and really the foundation of our team is our youth. I think along the way, when it's right, there are some positions we need to fill. We do need, I think we do need, a top center as we go through here. And as you go through the year you find out what you are as a team, and you see what you need on the back end maybe. A left-hand shot. … but to give you a timetable, it's hard for me, and I don't think it's even right for me. I think that's an organizational point of view, and that's why we have our meetings as we go through.
"I like the track that we're on here as a club, because the maturity of our players, of our young players who have come through our system, I think that's the way we have to do it, with our people. And continue to build, and then you add a piece here or there when something comes available."
On whether the end of last year helped going into this year:
"I don't know. You know, at the end of the year, it was one of those situations where if you lose a couple of games you're done, when we played those last 10-12 games there. And it almost gives you, it may sound weird, it almost gives you a little bit of looseness as far as where you are in your season, and you're just going to let it all hang out. I think that helped us towards the end of last year. I just think at the beginning of this year, the way they came into camp, they knew what the camp was going to be; they were familiar with it. It just seemed, everybody seemed to come together and understand that we have to do it as a group. And that's why, in the games that we have won here, we've played good as a team.
"And when you have some injuries like we had at the beginning of the year, it forces you to even come together more as a team, and that's healthy because when you lose a couple of people like we did — important guys, our top two scorers — it forces you to come in and helps you build a team concept of tightness. Then when they start coming back in, they're going to add some creativity, they're going to add some scoring. But they have to join in, too, with the group.
"I think that's what happened with our club in the short time here. Again, we've got a long way to go, and a lot of things we need to improve on. But they have found their way here in at least finding different ways to win some hockey games."
On the need for a left-shooting defenseman:
"I was worried about it a lot more in Games 5, 6, 7 or whatever it was. But I think MIchael Sauer has been a big surprise. We felt he was going to push. We wanted to see him and give him a long look, but he has stepped in and continues to improve. Eminger's a guy, a right-hand shot that I thought struggled early on .. and we had him on the left side and it really wasn't fair to him. But he's found a way to improve himself. And it's a pretty good pair. I don't want to jinx them, but they've played pretty well. They've developed into a pair of pretty good defensemen and the thing I like most about them, and what we were hoping to get more of, was a little edge in our back-end, too. Now you see Marc Staal with a little more edge, and I think it kind of grows. And I think Michael Sauer and Emmy have brought that to us with very consistent play — not flamboyant, but consistent."
On the need for a center, or if they have that guy on the roster:
"We have some centers in Artie and Erik and Stepan, who has 16 points now as a young guy. What I'm saying is you're always looking to improve your club. If you're not looking to improve your club as you go along the way, you're going to fall by … if the right person's there. But what you have here is people, I don't think there's one head-over-shoulders above the other. But Erik has contributed here the past few games. Step has contributed. Artie did early, struggles a little bit, played very well the other night. So you do it by committee there.
"Brian Boyle — what does he have 11 goals now? Although he shouldn't have been on the ice for 1:35 at the end of the game to score that empty-netter. But he's contributed. So you do it by committee. It's our team. And I like the team. I just like the way they're scrapping and trying to be better as a team."
About the improvement of the "room," something he insisted had to happen at the end of last season:
"Yeah, and I try to stay out of there as much as I can. But I check in with the leadership group. With Dru down, and not in the room in certain situations because he's just not playing, it gives a great opportunity for Marc Staal to accept some responsibility as a leader, Ryan Callahan, and you know Dubi doesn't want to be left behind, Danny Girardi. These are young guys, so I'm not sure how it all translates and when it all comes together and when you're there and you're an upper-echelon team. But it's certainly going in the right direction with our foundation."
He was asked by an Ottawa reporter about Wade Redden's play in Hartford.
He politely said he wasn't keeping on top of the situation because the Rangers have had so many games lately.

Rihanna Straddles her "Baby" Chris Brown in New Pic
Posted Friday November 30, 2012 10:25 AM GMT
Continuing to raise suspicions about a possible rekindled relationship, Rihanna posted an eyebrow raising photo on Instagram last night.
The "Umbrella" singer is seen straddling her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown adding the caption, "I don't wanna leave! Killed it tonight baby!"
This isn't the first sign that their romance is back on. The pair spent their Thanksgiving together over in Berlin, Germany and while overseas, Rihanna shared a photo of a shirtless Brown in bed.
Also, on Wednesday, the 24-year-old beauty tweeted a photo of the duos matching Rolex watches with the caption, "Don't believe me just watch #newtoy #justcusimnumber1 #roleylife #dopedealer."
What do you think about the pair?

New Adult Education Reporting Requirements: Better for Programs and Students
Jul 02, 2012
By Marcie Foster and Elizabeth Kenefick
Starting this month, adult education programs are now required to dramatically change how they report data to the federal government on student outcomes—moving adult education toward greater alignment with other education and training programs and laying a foundation for using adult education program data as a tool for incentivizing and measuring system progress for adult education. These changes are being implemented through the Department of Education's authority to develop and measure progress of federally-funded adult education programs and do not require a reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act.
Currently, the accountability system for adult education—the National Reporting System (NRS)—requires providers to measure progress toward core outcome measures (obtaining a secondary school credential, entering postsecondary education, entering employment, or retaining employment), but only for students who articulate these outcomes as their stated goal when they begin classes. In other words, only students who express an early desire to enter postsecondary education will be tracked as having done so. But new data guidelines established by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) will now require programs to track core outcomes for specific cohorts of students—not based on stated goals, but on student characteristics. For example, all students who are unemployed at time of entry will now be tracked as to whether they start work after exiting their adult education program. .
These new requirements will greater align adult education with workforce development, which also tracks outcomes for all participants, but uses a different set of employment-related measures, including earnings. Though these actions do not establish a shared accountability system across the two programs, a key CLASP recommendation, closer alignment will help states and local programs work better together across systems. Cross-system collaboration is growing as more states are using career pathways to help low-skilled adults progress into postsecondary education and have an opportunity to reach progressively higher career opportunities.

High Density Glass Fabric PCB
What you've never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you'd like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn't melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
Digi Power
More Precise, More Efficient
Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard uses a next generation digital PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) design, which provides CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability and lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced.

GREENVALE, NY -- Apple Industries has promoted Scott Avery to chief operating officer. Avery joined Apple, which makes the Face Place line of photobooths, as director of operations in 2011.
In his new post, Avery is responsible for overseeing the daily and long-term operational performance of Face Place products. He will also play a greater role in sales and marketing, which includes expansion into international markets.
Apple chief executive Allen Weisberg said Avery played a key role in the company's growth over the past three years, during which he contributed to the development of such new products as the NGX Face Place Photo Juke and a weather-resistant outdoor machine.
Weisberg also credited Avery's organizational abilities and strategic thinking for preventing the disruptions that companies experience during rapid growth periods. "Scott has continually improved the quality of our components, logistics and manufacturing," he said.

Caught Up with Hana Beaman and Jess Kimura
Words and Photos: Erin Hogue
We all know the impact that women have had on action sports in the past few years. From the late and exceptionally great Sarah Burke breaking all boundaries in freeskiing to Kimmy Fasani making waves in snowboarding progression, fearless females have been paving the way for not only woman-kind, but for their sports respectively. This month I had the chance to catch up with two such amazing individuals, snowboarders Jess Kimura and Hana Beaman, who are both competing in the first ever X Games Real Women contest; a web-based video competition that allows the women to showcase their talents and push their boundaries like never before. With the chance to walk away with 50,000 dollars. Four sports will be represented, with two women in each, from skiing; Ingrid Backstrom and Michelle Parker, skate; Mimi Knoop and Leticia Bufoni surf; Coco Ho and Maya Gabeira and from snowboarding; Jess Kimura and Hana Beaman. This year, X Games gets REAL.
"Jess and I have farted and laughed together for years…so filming together is easy, but X Games Real Woman was a grind. The lady shralped solo for most of the season! Not only is Jess a snowboarder but an artist, an intellect and a creative thinker, she is aware of how her tricks look and has a strong vision of the end result. Together we adapted to any situation to prevail and produce this part"
– D-boy (filmer)
This is the first year X Games has included women in their Real Snow video contest, what do you think about the progression of women's snowboarding?
I think we are at an all time high in terms of the level of women's snowboarding. That goes for contests and video parts. I don't know a lot about the other sports but I'm super proud to be a part of women's snowboarding. We still have a long way to go, but things are definitely looking up!
For X Games Real Women two ladies from four different sports, are competing against each other. What do you think about going head-to-head against girls from skiing, surfing and skateboarding?
I think it's cool because I don't think there are eight girls in each sport who are able to film a legit video part yet. It sounds like it might be hard to judge but I'm never gonna complain about an opportunity that's given to me. I'm hyped to be a part of it, whichever way it needs to work to get the girls involved. It's definitely a start for girls who want to take their riding in that direction.
When you found out you were one of the ladies selected to compete, what was your initial reaction?
I was super excited, but also stressed because I knew I had to film for the Nike team movie this year, and I was hoping to just focus on one thing for once… But we busted our asses and it worked out well for both projects.
In 2011, you had a pretty rough season, you blew your hip and got a serious concussion in one go, then you had a strain of meningitis and toped it off by tearing your MCL. Somehow you still managed to pull off two video parts. How did you make it happen?
Um, scratching and clawing until I couldn't move anymore. That was a tough year, but every season is tough in its own way. It's a lot to take on mentally and physically. I just felt like I wanted to sleep for two years after that.
I bet! How does filming for X Games Real Women compare to your 2011 season?
Well it's kind of the same thing, filming for two projects that I want to be really good parts, each in their own right, except this year I wasn't hurt the whole time which helped a lot. I took everything a lot slower and told myself it was okay to walk away from sessions that weren't working out. I hit the gym pretty hard before this season too because I knew what I had to accomplish, and getting strong before I went into it helped out a lot. It was still really tough mentally, getting good shots on a trip and knowing it was only half the battle, but I made it through and I think it's my best season yet.
You made a name for yourself with your gnarly skills in the street. Now you have a sled and are getting out in the backcountry more and more. How does riding in the backcountry compare to jibbing?
I was getting kind of over hitting rails—I felt like I had reached most of the goals I wanted to reach in the streets. Plus I hadn't had a chance to really snowboard for the past couple years…as in down a real hill. It was always drop in, hit a feature, unstrap, and hike up. I want my riding to translate into natural features. I never thought I would be able to afford a sled and a truck and now that I have that opportunity I don't want to waste it. Riding backcountry is hard, especially when you haven't had a chance to do it before so I like the total challenge of starting at square one. I also really like sledding and have this burning desire to get really good at it so I can access anything I want to and keep up with the dude crews out there. Jumping that thing is also pretty fun. [laughs]
Describe one of the hardest shots to get for Real Women snow, and what it took to get it?
The hardest shot to get was probably this front board 270 out. The day before I had smoked my leg so hard on a tree going really fast and I could barely walk. Every time I stood on the drop in ramp my legs were shaking so badly and I felt super dizzy. I thought for sure I couldn't do it but Desiree Melancon was there holding the ramp for me and yelling at me that I could do it. She believed it way more than me. I was so tired, mentally and physically exhausted, in a ton of pain, and just wanting to crawl into a hole and hide. I also hadn't even tried that trick on a box in a park that year and I just didn't think I could pull it off but somehow it happened. Thanks Des, you're a f—king champ.
What was one of the biggest bails you took?
Probably this gap to down-flat rail I hit in Minnesota. We went with a crew of dudes to hit it and one by one, they stood on the drop in forever and then unstrapped and bowed out. It was so intimidating and I was the last one standing. It took me a while but I finally hit it and somehow didn't die. So I kept going and each time it didn't get any less scary. I scorped super hard out of it and crushed the living shit out of my ribs, shoulder, and insides.
Did the shot work out in the end?
No it's one of the things I had to walk away from, which was really disappointing because I was trying something that hadn't been done on it before and it just would have been so cool to land.
If you could add one thing to your part that's not in it, either due to budget, injury or logistics what would it be?
I would be stoked to have a heli run in my part, like a big mountain line, top to bottom style. But I'm not in that kind of budget bracket yet. I know I need to prove myself some more and one day, anything will be possible. I also wanted to jump my sled off something big but that's something you really need to wait for the right conditions or you could end your season or career in one hit. Whaddaya know, Danger Pony is getting smarter…
[Laughs] I don't know about that. There is 50,000 dollars up for grabs, what will you do with the money if you win?
I found a cheap piece of property in BC that I should have enough money left over for once I take me and Dykeboy ( Jess's filmer) on a kick ass vacation somewhere cool. That girl busted her ass on this project and I couldn't have done it without her.
Alright now to finish things off here are a few quick short answer questions.
Worst trend in snowboarding?
Breaking bottles at spots
Favorite video part by a female ride?
Marie France-Roy in Any Means.
Drink of choice?
Gin Ceasers.
Plans for the future?
Favorite trick?
Favorite place to ride?

Premier League: Nicola Cortese staying on as Southampton chairman
Nicola Cortese will remain in his role as Southampton's executive chairman after his future plans were signed off.
Last Updated: 18/05/13 8:58am
Cortese was understood to be considering his position at St Mary's over differences with the trust that runs the club, and manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday that he would follow him if he decided to leave.
But the Italian met with owner Katharina Liebherr on Friday and plans for the club's continued development in the Premier League were agreed, prompting a statement on the club's official website.
Cortese said: "We are now in a position to move forward with our ambitious plans for the club and I would like to thank Katharina for the very helpful manner in which she approached our talks about long term strategy. I am pleased that this matter is now resolved.
"We can now focus 100 per cent on our preparations for next season.
"We have tremendous momentum now at the club and we are looking forward with great confidence to an exciting and successful campaign next season.
"The last few days have shown me the unity that we now have across the club in the players, the manager, the staff and the chairmanship which normally takes years to achieve.
"I have always believed that to create this unity would make us a very strong club and it is a unity of which I am unashamedly proud."

Dear Ship Alumni and Friends:
Well, we started the 138th year of educational opportunity at this fantastic university we know as Shippensburg! I'm excited and I hope you all took advantage of the summer months to do something interesting and enjoyable. For some of you that involved travel, for others it was hard work on your current job or the opportunity for a new job, continuing your education, or just being with family and friends. No matter what you did, I hope you are ready to hear about the 2008-09 year at Ship!!!
What did I do on my summer "vacation?" -- I traveled to Wroclaw, Poland - a city of nearly 700,000 with 170,000 of its residents who are students at 17 universities - a wonderful community. I traveled with Tom Verney of Grove College of Business, Lori Smith from the Alumni Office and Linda Miller, our Director of Major Gifts with the SU Foundation as well as students and faculty from Juniata College, the Penn State University and Florida International University to participate in a conference in which we shared our experiences with representatives of universities in that nation. Our participation in this conference helps us develop ways to provide educational opportunities to Polish students and faculty. Through that discussion and the assistance of Bill Minsker, we are in the planning stages to begin a student and faculty exchange sometime in 2009.
I had the pleasure of not one but two visits to Southern California where both Judy and I meet with a number of donors and alumni -- greetings to all who attended our event at the Nixon Library!! The trips were so successful that I know I will be returning before the end of this year. Also as a part of the second visit, I had the pleasure of renewing my academic ties by participating as a paper reviewer and discussant for the 2008 Academy of Management Meeting in Anaheim. It was a very exciting time to renew my academic ties, participate with other faculty members and enjoy the discussion of research and learning for the future. And, I had the chance to continue to meet with alumni and supporters throughout the country including Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. You as alumni, especially, remain enthusiastic about Ship and about our future -- and I THANK YOU!! You know that your alma mater is continuing to work toward maintaining and enhancing its position among the best colleges and universities in this region and beyond.
We continue to be the premier residential university in the state of Pennsylvania and are nationally recognized for our student-centered approach to learning. Much of this learning is due to the dedicated, supportive and talented faculty that leads this system right here at Ship:
-- One great example of this is our Growing Edges Community Counseling Clinic, a community counseling center in Shippen Hall that opened in the spring semester of 2008 to provide free counseling for individuals and families. This program was led by Dr. Bill McHenry in conjunction with colleagues in the Department of Counseling and College Student Personnel. This program, the ONLY one of its kind in the PASSHE system, served 28 clients with a 90 percent success rate. It also provided our graduate students in the program a unique opportunity to get needed field training as part of their coursework.
-- Two student business organizations earned honors in national competitions. The Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team ranked nationally while the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) student chapter earned the 2007-2008 Student Chapter Merit Award.
-- Another success story is that of Tyrone Dixon, a human communication studies major who, with the help of his faculty members, was able to rework his finals week schedule last December so he could go home and donate a kidney to save his sister's life. Tyrone is deeply grateful for the support faculty in the department and throughout campus gave him that, literally, allowed him to save her life. That support shows the true heart of our faculty and is an inspiration to all of us.
-- In addition, outreach efforts led by you are helping to transform the valley. For example, the Center for Land Use continues to present programs that elected and appointed leaders needed to better manage their municipalities in such areas as growth and development.
This year, we have twenty-six (26) new tenure track faculty. In addition to hiring outstanding new faculty, we have also filled several important administrative posts, including that of Provost and Senior Vice President, Dr. Barbara Lyman. Barbara was so excited about coming here that she started several weeks early. Since then, she has worked diligently and tirelessly learning about Ship and has been a strong and forceful advocate for the academic affairs division. One of her main goals is to provide faculty with the support and services necessary to do their jobs.
We also filled two other very important posts in the past few months. After extensive national searches, Dr. Roger Serr, who had served as acting vice president for student affairs was recommended for the permanent position as Vice President for Student Affairs. Roger has been at Shippensburg University since 1994 and very well understands the role student affairs plays in our students' success both academically and personally. I look forward to his guidance, especially as we remodel Reisner Hall, prepare to expand our CUB, and build all new residence halls.
I'm also happy to again introduce you to Dr. Denny Terrell, who recently retired as a Brigadier General in the United States Air Force after 30 years of extensive experience in finance and budgeting, facilities management and public safety. In addition to a successful Air Force career, Denny also has a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Mathematics. As you know, we have started or will soon start a number of construction or renovation projects, and Denny's experience will serve the university well as we build for the university's future.
We have reorganized and created the Division of External Affairs and University Relations and asked Dr. Jody Harpster to lead this new division. It combines the current Office of University Communications and Marketing, the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center and Campus Programs and the Office of Alumni and University Relations. By forming this new division, we will be better able to focus on ensuring that individuals, businesses and leaders throughout the region are aware of the nationally recognized education, and helps us coordinate our fundraising and friend raising efforts with the SU Foundation, and the many outreach and public service efforts the university provides.
Dr. Rick Ruth has renewed himself over the summer. In this respect, after helping Dr. Barbara Lyman adjust to her new role, Rick jumped back from the position of Interim Provost into his role of Vice President for Information Technologies and is leading our charge in the never ending changes we face in technology. Since the PASSHE presidents proposed alternatives to the Campus Management portion of our new integrated technology program, Rick is on the forefront of assisting implementation of possible alternatives to our Campus Management System with SYTEC and the Chancellor's Office.
The past academic year of 2007-08 was one that was truly outstanding. A few highlights:
-- We continue to have great success with our "SHIP" marketing program. This program introduces our students through an integrated program of billboards, printed material and our website emphasizing Leadership, Partnership, Friendship, Scholarship, Championship, and -my favorite - Flagship!!
-- Our academic success continues through the accreditation success of our Grove College of Business and our College of Education and Human Services, the visibility of our Honors Program, the growth of our MSW and MBA programs, our increased Graduate Assistantship Support, and the showcasing our Undergraduate Research Program.
-- Students continue to make us proud at Shippensburg through their involvement on and off campus, the development of a new Student Leadership Structure, their academic and athletic success, and their continuing success after graduation.
-- We completed our Facilities Master Plan, introduced a new Wellness Program, finished the new student Recreation Center and are working diligently on new projects and programs.
-- Our Outreach with the community continues to result in financial partnership, participation, and programming.
As I said earlier, this will be an exciting year and I have many reasons to think so.
On Thursday, August 21st, our new students moved in to our residence halls. We start the semester with over 1,700 new students and about 400 transfer students. An important part of those numbers, that we should all be proud of, is that the number of minority students in this entering class increased about three percent this year. Overall, we'll have 6,700 undergraduates - a 1.2% increase from 6,621 in the Fall of 2007 and 1,200 graduate students - a 4.5% increase from 1,148 in the Fall of 2007. This gives us a total enrollment of 7,900 - a 1.7% increase from 7,765 in the Fall of 2007. More importantly, the incoming freshman class for the Fall of 2008 shows an increase in SAT score to 1020 - 4 points better that the 1016 of the Fall of 2007. There was an increase in total application of nearly 10% from the Fall of 2007, an increase in Out of State applications of 11% from the Fall of 2007, and, as I said, an increase in diversity of over 3% from the Fall of 2007. We take great pride in the increase in both SAT score and diversity.
We have a new chancellor, Dr. John C. Cavanaugh, who started July 1, 2008 and is earning accolades for both his willingness to listen and his perspective on higher education in the PASSHE system. I have had the chance to meet with him and he is already scheduled to visit our campus several times. And, as some of you may know, Dr. Cavanaugh was president of the University of West Florida when our provost worked there as vice provost. We look forward to having a great relationship with our new Chancellor. I stated in my end of the year presentation that it will be a new world with a new Chancellor and I know this will clearly be the case with John Cavanaugh in Harrisburg.
The PASSHE system received a 3% increase in state appropriations and the Board of Governors approved a $181 tuition increase. This coupled with our strong enrollment figures, will allow us to balance our budget this year without any major cuts.
Work continues in preparation for our Middle States evaluation this year. Our initial visit is scheduled for October 12th and 13th. We are committed to a successful visit and to developing and implementing our all important Academic Master Plan. We look forward to showcasing Shippensburg through both of those efforts.
When you come back to campus and drive in on Prince Street, you will see the new entrance. Thanks to a gift from the Class of 1959, visitors will now know they have entered onto campus. Although the letters and Ship logo for the entrance will not arrive until next week, for installation later in the week, this entrance is truly a symbol of entry into a fine university. When you enter campus through the back gate along Fogelsonger Road you will drive across the new bridge at Burd Run Road. These are but two of the numerous campus projects that are completed, are near completion or about to get underway.
Dauphin Humanities Center has re-opened and is very impressive. The project not only updated and upgraded the facility but also added an additional 4,600 square feet to meet the needs of faculty and students. It now also provides a home in the academic quad for the College of Arts and Sciences. We had the ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. Friday, August 22nd on the patio outside of the addition and it was well attended.
Reisner Dining Hall remains on schedule to be renovated and completed by the start of the 2009-2010 academic year. The Tuscarora Room will be open for food service this fall with seating for over 400. - Stop by when you get a chance and take a look.
When you get the chance, stop in to Lehman Library to see the new lobby and circulation area. If you don't stop by, Dean Marian Schultz will find you and make you stop by. I have never seen a person who is so proud of her new library. This is just part of the work we plan in the library and I complement Marian Schultz and the entire library staff, as well as facilities management personnel for all of their hard work to get this accomplished. Thanks Marian for your leadership and look out, we are going to do the rest of the first floor next year.
The Huber Art Center project is progressing - the new plans are out and we're working with faculty in the building to begin that work sometime in the spring semester.
Plans for expansion of the CUB are nearly finished and that project will be underway very soon.
The largest undertaking, however, will be construction of all new residence halls beginning sometime next year and phased-in over several years. A key component in the planning and construction is making the new residence halls into living/learning centers, a concept that will enhance students' academic and overall university experience. I want to thank Jody Harpster, Mindy Fawks, Lance Bryson, Roger Serr, Denny Terrell and members of our Council of Trustees for their leadership in moving this very complicated planning process forward. We will be initiating an RFP for this project partnership in the very near future.
Our athletic programs continue to move forward. With the addition of a wood basketball floor, the upgrading of team exercise facilities in the old recreation area, and our planning efforts to upgrade our locker rooms, add lights, and increase scholarships and outside support, our athletic programs excel. Please remember although many of our student-athletes receive scholarship support, very few if any receive a full ride. Our student athletes are dedicated athletes and students and our coaching staff is dedicated to the success of these students on and off the field. Our baseball team went to the Division II World Series with two of our many standout players - Justin Garber and Matt Wright being drafted in to the Major Leagues. The Shippensburg University field hockey program is pleased to announce that Angie Loy, a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Field Hockey team competing this summer in Beijing, will join the Shippensburg field hockey coaching staff as a volunteer assistant this fall. She is a native of West Perry High School and is a former standout player from Old Dominion who has recorded 102 international caps and scored more than 30 goals in international competition for the United States. Finally, we finished the 2007-08 academic year with 99 PSAC Scholar Athletes. That makes 208 PSAC Scholar Athletes over the past two years from Ship who have earned at least a 3.25 GPA while competing in an intercollegiate varsity sport. We are also proud to say that our Academic Success Rate for our Student Athletes is 86% -- 86% graduate from Ship!!
The Luhrs Performing Arts Center has a magnificent schedule this year and we've already sold out one show with several others very close. Whether it is Tracey Lawrence, Peter, Paul and Mary, Crosby and Nash, Annie, the Czech Symphony, the 5 Browns, or Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, I encourage you to check out the schedule as I'm sure you'll find a program you'll enjoy.
I mentioned the strong support we receive from you our alumni, friends and donors to Shippensburg University who recognize the outstanding job our students, faculty, and staff do and the importance of this university to the Commonwealth. I would like to thank John Clinton, his staff, and the members of the SU Foundation Board of Directors for their on-going support. We are fortunate that this support has resulted in generous contributions to the SU Foundation. For the 2007-08 year, the Foundation raised $6.1M, showing an increase in total assets to an all-time high of $61.5M, and our permanent endowment stands at nearly $27.3M. That meant that last year, the Foundation provided $3.1M in direct support to the university, with almost $1.1 million of that providing support to our students in the form of scholarships and low-interest loans. And, something that is VERY important to me is your contribution, I want to personally thank the faculty, staff associates, and administrators who contributed nearly $570,000 to the campus campaign last year.
I want to mention that last year; the University identified various needs that were tested in a feasibility study conducted during the summer by a fundraising consulting firm hired through the Foundation. The results of this study will inform our decision-making process as the university's Council of Trustees and Foundation's Board of Directors work jointly to meet these needs through private resources raised as part of an upcoming comprehensive campaign. We'll have more to come on this effort later in the year.
During the past year, I had the pleasure to work with Dr. Debra Cornelius in her role as APSCUF president. She was a passionate, considerate and vocal advocate for all faculty members and never let me forget that academics are what we do best here at Ship -- never. She has my thanks for her efforts and I'm sure she has yours. I now look forward to working with Dr. Brendan Finucane in his role as president and know that he, too, will serve his colleagues well. We will continue to be committed to shared governance, recruit and retain the best possible tenure track faculty members, and ensure that our students receive the support services that they need to succeed at Ship and beyond.
Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania will be a learning-centered community that promotes creativity, intellectual development, and service. Our commitment to continuous improvement will result in Ship being acknowledged regionally and nationally for its People: our students, faculty, staff, and the residents of South Central Pennsylvania and beyond; its Programs: programs that will bolster current academic and new program initiatives benefitting students and the Commonwealth, and its Places: facilities in which people can accomplish their initiatives and programs.
I am now approaching two years as the fifteenth permanent president of this extraordinary institution. During my inaugural address, I said I have the best job because I get to work with you - our faculty, our students, our staff associates, and the community of Shippensburg, Cumberland and Franklin counties, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I have the opportunity to; as I did on the 21st, help new students move in, though I don't think I carried any refrigerators. I also have the honor of shaking the hands of our graduating seniors during commencement. And I get to do this every day. What a way to make a living! But this is more than a way to make a living and it's more than a job, it is a responsibility we all share with our students, to each other and our world. Our efforts -- and it is a joint effort -- are meaningful and long-lasting.
I will say to you today the same thing I said in my interview at the Chancellor's Office in late 2006. I was asked "Who do you work for?" Now I know it was a loaded question, so I answered honestly, "I work for the students, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and friends of Shippensburg University, I work with the Chancellor's Office, the Board of Governors', and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide the opportunity for a fabulous education."
I have outlined our past successes and future directions and again ask you as alumni and friends to JOIN me in our pursuit of that vision--we will continue to show Pennsylvania and the world who we are.

Hi! Meet my sister Amber! She's a fantastic chef and we're lucky enough that she'll be posting recipes for us to salivate over every Friday!
I love food. Every now and then, I like going out to eat at nice places and trying new combinations that I would otherwise never do. Then, I like to go home and figure out how to make it. And so, one day I went to the California Pizza Kitchen with my husband, tried this pear and gorgonzola thing on their menu, and was instantly transported to flavor heaven. I decided I was going to recreate this, and here is the resulting recipe! (With a few changes that really helped enhance the flavor.)
Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza" Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust (uncooked)
- 3-4 bosc pears
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large sweet onion (cut from top to base…think the opposite way from onion rings)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
- dash of salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded
- 1-8 oz. tub of Gorgonzola cheese (the crumbly kind)
- 2 oz. chopped hazelnuts or walnuts optional (in my opinion, hazelnuts are better, but walnuts are definitely easier to find and a good substitute)
- 1 bag of spring mix salad
- ranch dressing
Step 1: Caramelize the onions. This takes the most time to finish, so you can get started on this and then get started on prepping other things while they finish. Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Put in the sliced sweet onion with a dash of salt and let cook for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Add 1 tbsp of brown sugar (save the rest for the pears), 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, and a dash of pepper. Reduce heat to a low-medium and cook gently, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally–the sugar and vinegar will reduce and give these onions a beautiful candy-like coating on the outside. Once finished, set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prep ingredients. While the onions are cooking, get a 10×14 baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the pizza dough on top, stretching to the corners. Using a basting brush, coat the whole top layer with about 2 tbsp olive oil and set aside. (If you haven't already shredded your cheese, now is also a good time to do so.) Pre-heat your oven to 425'F.
Thinly slice the 3-4 bosc pears to about a 1/4 inch thick. Heat the 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet on medium-high heat and layer the pears into it. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar and let them caramelize for about 4-5 minutes or until the pears are soft. Avoid over cooking and having them fall apart. Pull off the heat and set them aside to cool.
Crust, pear, onion, then cheese.
Step 3: The Assembly. This is probably the easiest step. All of your ingredients are done for the pizza and you just need to put them on the dough. So! Layer the pears on first, being sure to cover as much of the dough as you can, leaving about a 1/4 inch of dough on the outside. (In this trial run, I only had 2 pears–it definitely needs more!) Follow with the onions, making sure they're evenly distributed among the whole pizza. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of fontina, 1 cup of mozzarella, and about 5-6oz. of the gorgonzola onto the pizza and top with the hazelnuts or walnuts. Then throw it in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
Step 4: Prepping the salad and Serving. While the pizza is in the oven, grab your bag of mixed greens, wash them, and pat them dry. In a large bowl, add a little ranch dressing–just enough to coat–and then toss until the dressing is evenly distributed. Once the pizza is out of the oven, cut into desired slice size and top with the greens and some gorgonzola (and some extra nuts if you'd like). The pizza easily serves 4 and can be used as a dinner main course or a fun little appetizer with smaller slices.

BRISTOL, PA -- Now available for download is the 2013 update for Megatouch Ion videogame terminals. The Ion touchscreen entertainment machine is a legacy product in the Megatouch family, which belongs to AMI Entertainment Network Inc.
The update is installed automatically on connected Ion machines owned by operators who have a subscription to AMI's online service. For operators who don't subscribe, but still connect their machines to the Internet, an update download can be enabled by visiting the Meganet setup page; a key is required to convert the software.
The 2013 release for Megatouch Ion has 12 titles described as "addictive," and eight of them are compatible with Tournamaxx. AMI said its Megatouch division has created more than 40 attention-grabbing "educational attract screens" designed to lure bar patrons to the games. The screens appear when the machine is in idle mode.
Visit Vending Times' news release section for more details on the update's games and features, or go straight to the source.
To support the software rollout, operators can download and print 11x17 location posters for their accounts. The posters highlight Ion 2013's two headliners: Monkey Bash World Tour, which features 30 levels of art coupled with its popular gameplay style, and Grimm Fairy Tales Photo Hunt, a "sexy-but-safe" version of Megatouch's flagship title featuring pin-up style art paired with the instantly recognizable gameplay of "two photos, five differences."
Ion 2013 downloads began on Oct. 1.

RIVERSIDE - Perhaps the Southern California team in the Canyon-Coast Classic all-star football game was thrown off stride by Monday's sunshine that turned a January day into one better suited for April.
Or maybe it was the Arizona team that made key plays and not quite as many mistakes in posting a 26-6 victory in front of 2,600 at Riverside City College.
"They have a very legit team," Kaiser High School's Anthony Saenz said of the Arizona squad. "They had a lot of talent. We made some mistakes on offense and defense and that's what happens."
The visitors converted an interception for a go-ahead touchdown midway through the second quarter before putting together a quick 58-yard drive in 19 seconds before intermission for a commanding 17-3 advantage.
But Southern California showed some signs of life by driving 57 yards in the final 39 seconds. Charter Oak's Jack Schneider capped the drive by kicking a 24-yard field goal, his second of the half.
In the end, Southern California had little to show for its offense with the exception of turnovers and mistakes. That included a safety in the third quarter when Chris Stratton stepped out of the end zone on a reverse from the 3-yard line, an interception in the end zone and a fumble that ended its most sustained drive.
"We just didn't do anything on offense," said Southern California coach Dick Bruich, who came out of retirement for the game. "But you can't blame any one phase.
"We had mistakes on both sides of the ball."
The longest play of the day for Southern California was a 40-yard pass from Mike Darr of Corona Santiago to Charter Oak's Bryce Bobo.
Bruich, however, was all smiles after the game. It was because he got to coach grandson Blake Braun in his final high school game. And if that wasn't quite enough, son Kurt (Braun's coach at Redlands East Valley) also was on his coaching staff.
"It was awesome," said Braun, who stopped a late Arizona drive by forcing a fumble at the Southern California 5-yard line. "It was the experience of a lifetime.
"We all had fun."
That was the elder Bruich's biggest concern.
"The kids had a good time, in three days we became a team," he said. "It was fun for the kids, they played with one another against each other.
"That was key to me."
Saenz said the team practiced six times, but just smiled when asked if the practices had the same intensity as those at Kaiser.
Justin Hornsby, a linebacker from West Covina, said Southern California was prepared to play.
"We were a decent team," Hornsby said. "They were just a bit better and played harder. It doesn't always go the way it's supposed to."
Arizona's A.J. Thigpen scored two touchdowns on 1-yard runs and Tyler Rogers threw a 3-yard scoring pass to Kani Benoit on the possession following the safety.

Judge gives blessing to cheerleaders' Bible banners
(NEWSER) – Gimme a "V" for "VICTORY!" The Kountze High School cheerleading squad can display their Bible-thumping banners at games—assuming the school district allows it—State District Judge Steven Thomas ruled yesterday. Thomas concluded that putting Christian messages on banners at public school sporting events didn't constitute a violation of the First Amendment's "Establishment Clause," which forbids the government from backing any given religion, the AP reports. "They're going to be able to have their banners," said an attorney for the nonprofit representing the squad. "We won and they didn't."
