Incubator Arts Project's 4th Annual Other Forces Festival Runs 1/3-20
The Incubator Arts Project presents its fourth annual Other Forces, an annual festival of work from some of independent theater's most innovative artists.
Grimly Handsome
Written and Directed by Julia Jarcho
Performed by Jenny Seastone Stern, Ben Williams and Pete Simpson
January 3—20 // $18 general
"Ms. Jarcho is an extremely clever and bewitching writer and a master of stylized behavior." - The New York Times
GRIMLY HANDSOME is a dark and funny new play about crime, desire, and shifting identity. A pair of sinister Christmas tree salesmen have come to wreak havoc on our fair city. A pair of detectives are bent on catching the killer. A young woman finds herself drawn into their cat-and-mouse games and transformed in ways she could never have imagined. Well, maybe she could've. Meanwhile, wild animals have been sighted in the vacant lot across the street. Are they dogs? Raccoons? Or something more ferocious? The play moves back and forth between the hair-raising fun of a crime drama and the even deeper mysteries of a weird, modernist lyricism. Jenny Seastone Stern and Ben Williams, who performed in Jarcho's Dreamless Land (New York City Players, 2011), are joined by Pete Simpson. Enjoy, but be warned: the nicest people can turn out to be pretty dangerous.
Julia Jarcho is a playwright and director from New York City. Her plays include Dreamless Land (New York City Players, 2011), American Treasure (13P), The Highwayman (Missiles With Teeth), A Small Hole (Performance Lab 115), and All I Do Is Dream of You (Sophiensaele and English Theatre Berlin). She recently collaborated with the artist Meredith James on a sculpture-and-video adaptation of her play Delmar, coming soon. She is a member of 13P. Artists she has worked with include Richard Maxwell, Mark Ravenhill, Ami Garmon, Benjamin Gassman, and Ásta Bennie Hostetter. She has been a writer-in-residence at the Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference, a winner of the Berrilla Kerr award, a board member of Young Playwrights Inc, and a Resident Playwright at the Playwrights Foundation in San Francisco.

Nellie Tinder's Evelyn in Concert
Written by Julia May Jonas
Composed by Jon Lundbom and Julia May Jonas
Directed by Abby Browde and Julia May Jonas
Performed by Nikki Calonge, Lisa Clair, Zoë Geltman, Mary Jane Gibson, Hannah Heller, LUCY KAMINSKY, Richard Saudek, Kate Schroeder, and Libby Winters.
January 10—14 // $15 general
"[Jonas'] ambitious new piece, Evelyn, transposes ancient madness to a modern clinic, suggesting that our unruly psyches still chafe at civilized life's compromises." –The Village Voice
The women of Pennsylvania House are making good progress - with talk therapy, group therapy, dance therapy and their surreptitious visits to the surrounding druidical wood, when luminous film actress Evelyn Henries arrives and wreaks havoc with her Star Quality. Will the fortress hold? Or will Evelyn's Magick destroy the fragile strands of sanity these women have left? A musical fever-dream, Evelyn is a story about the consequences of being somebody, and the horror of being nobody. In a re-imagined and updated version, Nellie Tinder's Evelyn in Concert will be performed as an experimental chamber musical, allowing the audience to absorb the work less as a piece of narrative, and more as a hauntingly humorous nightmare unfolding in their minds.
Nellie Tinder, the company of writer/director Julia May Jonas, has created multi-disciplinary work since 2005. Recent works include Evelyn at the Bushwick Starr, For Artists Only at the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator, and Take Heart at PS122 with TerraNova, as well as a recent work in progress, Raise Your Voice in Medieval Counterpoint, performed at Prelude2012. NT has been seen frequently at the Catch! Series, curated by Andrew Dinwiddie, Jeff Larson and Caleb Hammons, as well as at the Little Theater Series at Dixon Place, and Jonas' writing has been published by The Brooklyn Review. Nellie Tinder devotes itself to the creation of work that combines organic formal innovation wth moral investigation. Nellie Tinder is Art. Appropriate and Instructive.

James Moore performs John Zorn's The Book of Heads
January 11—12 // $15 general
"[A] compendium of fractious virtuosity" –The New York Times
James Moore offers an encore performance of The Book of Heads by John Zorn: a beautiful, playful, and literally explosive evening of solo guitar music. Written for Eugene Chadbourne in 1978, The Book of Heads is a collection of 35 short etudes which utilize an arsenal of acoustic and electronic techniques involving balloons, children's toys and common household items. Moore offers a new interpretation of the pieces developed in collaboration with the composer. Time Out New York calls him a "local electric guitar hero" and describes The Book of Heads as "one of the toothiest works from the downtown-music canon … a compendium of virtually impossible solo guitar pieces that showcases fractious virtuosity and nimble reflexes." The San Diego Reader describes "A knockout success … Like Muddy Waters having a seizure … Tonality was generally abused like a CEO at an S&M Convention." Moore is currently working with filmmaker Stephen Taylor to create a DVD album and documentary of the project for upcoming release on Tzadik Records.
James Moore is a versatile guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, he has been immersed in New York's creative music community since 2006, earning the title of "local electric guitar hero" by Time Out NY and "model new music citizen" by the NY Times. James is a founding member of the electric guitar quartet Dither, and performs internationally as a soloist and ensemble player. He has worked with Bang on a Can, Alarm Will Sound, Clogs, Object Collection and members of the National. Recent projects include performances of Richard Maxwell's Neutral Hero, and an upcoming new collaborative piece at BAM with composer David Lang and choreographer Susan Marshall.
Drawing on his experience in a variety of genres including jazz, rock, hardcore punk, classical, klezmer, film, cartoon, popular and improvised music, John Zorn has created an influential body of work that defies academic categories. A native of New York City, he has been a central figure in the downtown scene since 1975, incorporating a wide range of musicians in various compositional formats. He learned alchemical synthesis from Harry Smith, structural ontology with Richard Foreman, how to make art out of garbage with Jack Smith, cathartic expression at Sluggs and hermetic intuition from Joseph Cornell. Early inspirations include American innovators Ives, Varese, Cage, Carter and Partch, the European tradition of Berg, Stravinsky, Boulez and Kagel, soundtrack composers Herrmann, Morricone and Stalling as well as avant-garde theater, film, art and literature.
Friday, January 11, 8p.m.
Saturday, January 12, 2p.m.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at incubatorarts.org or by calling TheaterMania at 212-352-3101. Incubator Arts Project is offering a special price for all three shows of $40.

OAKLEY — More than five years after construction workers packed up their tools, Oakley's Almond Grove Elementary School finally is set to open.
Oakley Union Elementary School District trustees unanimously agreed Wednesday that a residential development project near the Amaryllis Drive campus has progressed to the point that it makes sense to open the school in late July 2014.
"It's clearly a positive thing all the way around. Everyone's going to be happy," Superintendent Rick Rogers said before the vote.
A bond measure helped fund construction of the $20 million school along with that of Iron House Elementary and extensive modernization projects at two other campuses.
The Iron House site opened first in October 2006 because the district needed it immediately to alleviate overcrowding at Gehringer Elementary, which had roughly twice as many students as desirable.
By the time Almond Grove Elementary — the district's eighth school — was finished in December 2007, however, construction of Pulte Homes' Magnolia Park project had slowed and the number of students coming from that area wasn't growing as quickly as district officials had expected.
A K-5 campus built to accommodate 575 students, Almond Grove initially will have an enrollment of 250 to 300. The school will serve just those in grades K-3 its first year if there aren't enough older children to warrant the two upper grades, Rogers said.
The district plans to survey parents in the school's attendance area this spring to find out how many children at which grade levels they have and, if any of them are fourth- or fifth-graders, whether they plan to send these students to Almond Grove Elementary.
Although youngsters entering grades K-3 will be assigned to the new school, the district will consider allowing older students to remain at the one they're attending if parents submit an intradistrict transfer request.
Rogers said the district also will weigh requests from parents of K-3 students who want their sons or daughters to stay put, making ¿decisions based on available space at the children's current schools.
Over the next year, Oakley Union will be cleaning, painting and furnishing Almond Grove's 23 classrooms as well as hiring a principal and the rest of the staff.
The district also plans to continue hosting Lynn Center, which is leasing most of the space on the 10-acre campus, Rogers said.
"We believe there's plenty of room for both to operate," he said.
The presence of the center, which provides therapy for infants and young children with a range of cognitive, physical and emotional difficulties, represents a savings for the district. Lynn Center has agreed to deliver up to $200,000 in services for those youngsters who live in the school district in exchange for space. Until the center moved to Almond Grove Elementary, the district was paying that amount to give its special needs students ¿those services at Lynn Center's former site in Pittsburg.
The school also had been home to Mountain View Christian Center, which leased classrooms and an office building for nearly three years until it was evicted in March 2012 for nonpayment of rent.

BOOGIE STOMP! Begins Performances Tomorrow Off-Broadway
Variations Theatre Group presents a limited engagement of BOOGIE STOMP! direct to NYC from the production's sold out tour of Russia. Performances will begin tomorrow, May 8th, with the Opening Night set for May 15th at The Chain Theatre.
BOOGIE STOMP! is a theatrical evening starring two of the greatest jazz/boogie/stride/blues pianists in the world, Bob Baldori and Arthur Migliazza. After electrifying audiences all around the globe, Baldori and Migliazza are thrilled to bring this vibrant, fast-paced show to New York City. Every night's a party at BOOGIE STOMP! when these two music giants hit those onstage pianos, bringing to life all the fire and excitement of American popular music.
Bob Baldori has been a mainstay of blues, boogie and rock for over 40 years. He has performed hundreds of dates in venues from Detroit to Chicago, L.A. to New York, to the White House for President Clinton. In addition to recording and performing his own material, "Boogie Bob" has produced and engineered over 200 albums and he founded the 1960's band "The Woolies," which released the national hit Who Do You Love? In the following years, in addition to touring and performing extensively and recording on his own, he backed up Chuck Berry, playing hundreds of dates and recording two albums with the rock & roll pioneer. In addition to Berry, Boogie Bob worked with many other blues and rock legends including Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Del Shannon, and Bo Diddley.
Award-winning blues and boogie woogie pianist Arthur Migliazza began playing the piano professionally at the age of 13. It was through his love of blues music and his dedication to the piano that he came under the wing of such mentors/teachers as Henry Butler, Ann Rabson and Mr. B. Aside from these direct influences, Arthur spent many years listening to and studying the recordings of piano players such as Champion Jack Dupree, Otis Spann, Jay McShann, and many more. He's been inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame, was a finalist at the 2010 International Blues Challenge and has shared the stage with Little Milton, Robert Cray, Elvin Bishop, and Albert Lee to name a few, in venues all over the US, Europe and Japan. During the last 17 years he has frequently been a part of the staff at the internationally famous Augusta Blues Week.
The performance schedule for BOOGIE STOMP! will be Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8 PM, with matinees Sunday at 3 PM through May 31st. (There will be a special gala performance May 16th at 7 PM including a cocktail reception and catered buffet supper.)

• Found dead Saturday
2nd inmate John Doe:
• Found dead Saturday
Inmate Javier Sandez:
• Convicted of federal drug charges
• Found beaten to death in his cell Oct. 1, 2013
Inmate David Snow:
• Convicted of possession of oxycodone and a firearm
• Found beaten to death in his cell Nov. 13, 2013
Inmate David Serra
• Convicted of second degree murder
• Found dead in his cell Nov. 14, 2013. Authorities ruled it a suicide.
— Staff Report
VICTORVILLE >> Two inmates died Saturday night at a federal prison here, the victims of an apparent homicide, the Justice Department reported Sunday.
The FBI is investigating the deaths of the inmates, whose names have not been disclosed pending notification of family members.
"We are investigating the death of two inmates," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said Sunday. "Our evidence response team processed the scene and (left) the prison this morning."
In a statement, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said all inmates at the facility have been confined to their cells.
No staffers were hurt, and there was no danger to the public, according to a Bureau of Prisons statement.
The federal penitentiary, built in 2005, is one of four facilities at the Federal Correctional Complex at 13777 Air Base Road on the old George Air Force Base grounds.
It has about 1,300 high-security inmates.
In recent months, several inmates have lost their lives while serving their prison sentences at the Victorville facility.
On Oct. 1, Javier Sandez, was found beaten to death in his cell. He was serving 10 years of confinement for drug-related crimes.
In the weeks after Sandez's death, two more inmates were found dead.
David Snow — once the president of the Aryan Brotherhood in Ohio — was found beaten to death on Nov. 13 in his cell at the Victorville prison.
The next day, David Serra, convicted of second-degree murder, was found dead in his cell from what authorities called an apparent suicide.
Serra had been in the prison for five months.
Representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons declined to comment any further Sunday about Saturday's inmate deaths.
Staff Writer Ryan Carter contributed to this report.

Grilled Salmon Packets with Tomatoes, Olives, Garlic, Thyme, and Saffron
(Makes 4 servings, but this recipe can easily be modified to make just the number of servings you need; recipe adapted slightly from Fine Cooking Grilling 2008.)
4 pieces salmon (recipe called for skin-on, but I used salmon pieces without skin)
1 cup diced tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)
1/4 cup diced Kalamata olives (about 20 olives)
1 T finely minced garlic
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves (other herbs could be substituted, but I would not use dried thyme)
small pinch saffron, about 15-20 threads (saffron is optional, but use it if you have some)
1/4 tsp. salt, plus more for seasoning salmon (I used sea salt)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
While grill heats, combine diced tomatoes, diced olives, minced garlic, chopped thyme, saffron, salt, and fresh ground black pepper, then stir in olive oil.
Tear piece of foil big enough to completely wrap the salmon with a bit extra to fold over and seal. Spray or brush foil pieces with olive oil. Place a piece of salmon in the center of each piece of foil and season with a small amount of salt and fresh ground black pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the tomato-olive mixture over each piece of salmon. Fold up sides of foil, then fold together in the center and fold over ends so each salmon piece is sealed inside the foil packet.
Put packets on grill and cook on high for 8-10 minutes. I opened one after 8 minutes and thought it was not quite done, so I turned off the grill and let the packets sit on the hot grill for 1 more minutes. Let salmon rest about 2 minutes, then fold down sides of foil and serve each piece of salmon in the foil.

A Research In Motion Reckoning
I have been long Research In Motion (RIMM) since November, when I argued that even if the new BB10 model didn't sell, there'd be a huge run-up in the stock in anticipation of the phone's release date.
This simply went back to the Palm PRE playbook of 2009. In January of that year, the new phone was revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show, which caused an immediate stir in Palm's stock. It went from between $1 and $2 to $18 by the time the phone started shipping in June....393 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Caring bikers donate scooter to National Star College
4:02pm Friday 14th February 2014
4:02pm Friday 14th February 2014
A ROAR of engines signalled the arrival of a mobility scooter for the National Star College.
Twenty-five caring bikers, who are all members of the Ride 'Til We Rot Society – a national club for riders who have disabilities or have suffered from a life-changing injury, delivered the vital transport to the Gloucestershire college.
Society founder and president Manda Fairbrother, who lives in Chalford, explained that most members of the society can identify with the people who use National Star College, which aims to enhance the quality of life for people with complex disabilities and acquired brain injuries.
The 58-year-old explained how something positive has come out of a sad situation.
"The scooter was bought for a biker's father who sadly died soon afterwards," said Manda, who rides a 1400 Intruder she calls 'the dragon'.
"He wanted to donate it to somewhere it would get good use from someone who deserved it.
"We like helping people where we can. Within the society we've got volunteer blood runners and people who transport kidneys to hospitals in emergencies.
"We've raised thousands for charities and hope we can do something else for National Star in the future."
Manda not only lives with a broken back but she also has autophobia, an illness that makes her self-loathe, and founded Ride 'Til We Rot as a means to help her cope.
The society now has 14,000 members across the world.
"I've always needed to care for other people. Every night I sit in bed and ask if I have done enough for others," she said.
"All our bikers can all relate to the students at the National Star College as we have some of the same problems.
"However we also share the idea that our disabilities will not stop us from doing things, instead we just have to find a way to do them in another manner."
Kate Green, director of fundraising at the college, said: "Students and staff enjoyed the bikers' visit and we are so grateful that they have thought of us. We will ensure that the scooter is put to good use."

Boston Cannons Name Steve Duffy as Head Coach
A Cannons Assistant Coach for Three Seasons, Duffy Takes the Helm As the Cannons Defend Their First MLL Championship
November 30, 2011 - BOSTON, MA– The Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, today named Steve Duffy as the new head coach. After serving as a Cannons assistant coach for three seasons, Duffy will be the fourth head coach in the franchise's 11-year history.
"I am thrilled to lead the Cannons on the field as the next head coach of the team," said
Duffy. "We have our work cut out for us, defending the title as the league expands and the competition gets tougher. I know what it takes to win the Steinfeld Trophy, and winning back to back championships is the goal for 2012."
Duffy is the third consecutive head coach promoted from an assistant coach position, following Scott Hiller (assistant 2001; head coach 2002-05) and Bill Daye (assistant 2005; head coach 2006-11). As the Cannons defensive assistant coach, Duffy was responsible for game day substitutions, man-down play calling and practice planning.
"We are proud to have built a family of coaches who grow into leaders for our team," said
Cannons Founding Owner Matt Dwyer. "Coach Duffy has been an integral part of our success over the past three seasons and we are excited to have him take over as head coach."
General Manager Kevin Barney added, "Although we appreciate the interest of many other candidates, Steve's knowledge of our players and the other MLL teams, as well as his tremendous dedication to the Cannons organization, made him the strongest candidate from the beginning. His experience with the Cannons will provide a seamless transition as we prepare for 2012."
A Waltham, MA native, Duffy coached at Waltham High School for 18 years, first winning recognition with both the Boston Globe and Eastern Massachusetts Lacrosse Coaches Association Coach of the Year Awards in 1999. He earned Metro West Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2005 when he led his team to the state semifinals and finals, respectively. For these accolades and long dedication to the program, Duffy was recently inducted into the Waltham High School Hall of Fame. While at the helm of the varsity team, Duffy also founded the Waltham Youth Lacrosse Program in 1994 to further foster the sport's development in his hometown. He remains a board member for the Patriot Youth Lacrosse League.
Since Duffy joined the Cannons coaching staff in 2009, they have earned a post season berth in each of the last three seasons. He helped coach the Cannons to consecutive MLL-best regular seasons in 2010 and 2011, and was on the sideline for the Cannons' first MLL Championship victory last season.
"Coach Duffy's stature in the local lacrosse community will be invaluable as we continue to build the Cannons brand throughout the region," continued
Barney. "Along with his coaching duties and community appearances, he will be taking over as Director of Cannons Camp, our series of educational summer programs held in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut."
Jim Murphy will remain on staff as an assistant coach, a position he's held since the 2003 season. Up first for Duffy as head coach are the upcoming drafts: The Expansion Draft on December 7, the Supplemental Draft on December 14 and the Collegiate Draft on January 13. The team will hold an open tryout, presented by CroART Lacrosse and CATZ Performance Center, next March. The 2012 season will begin on Saturday, April 28.
About the Boston Cannons
The Boston Cannons are one of the founding franchises of Major League Lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league. They began play in June of 2001 and currently host home games at Harvard Stadium in Boston. They won their first MLL Championship on August 28, 2011. Season tickets for the 2012 season are now on sale starting at $84 for seven Cannons home games. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 617.746.9933 or visit

Alternative Names Return to topAbducens palsy; Lateral rectus palsy
Definition Return to top
Cranial mononeuropathy VI is a nerve disorder that causes people to see two of the same image (double vision).
Causes Return to top
Cranial mononeuropathy VI is damage to the sixth cranial (skull) nerve. This nerve, also called the abducens nerve, helps control eye movement.
Disorders of this nerve can occur with:
In some people, there is no obvious cause.
Because there are common nerve pathways through the skull, the disorder may affect other cranial nerves (such as the third or fourth cranial nerve).
Symptoms Return to top
Symptoms may include:
Exams and Tests Return to top
Tests typically show that one eye has trouble looking to the side, while the other eye moves normally. An examination shows the eyes do not line up -- either at rest, or when looking in the direction of the weak eye.
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in visual problems related to the nervous system (neuro-ophthalmologist).
Treatment Return to top
If the health care provider finds a cause, medications called corticosteroids can reduce swelling and relieve pressure on the nerve. Sometimes, the condition may disappear without treatment. People with diabetes may benefit from close control of blood sugar levels.
Until the nerve heals, wearing an eye patch may relieve double vision.
Outlook (Prognosis) Return to top
Treating the cause may improve the condition. Even if the cause is never found, the condition may improve.
Possible Complications Return to top
Complications may include permanent vision changes.
When to Contact a Medical Professional Return to top
Call your health care provider if you have double vision.
Prevention Return to top
There is no way to prevent this condition. However, people with diabetes may reduce the risk by controlling their blood sugar.Update Date: 2/13/2008 Updated by: Luc Jasmin, MD, PhD, Departments of Anatomy & Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, CA.

Environmental Quality Advisory Council Presents Annual Report
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Contact: Merni Fitzgerald, Director of Public Affairs
703-324-3187, TTY 711, Fax 703-324-2010

Environmental Quality Advisory Council Presents Annual Report
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors received the Environmental Quality Advisory Council's (EQAC) annual report at the board's Nov. 19 meeting. The "Annual Report on the Environment 2007" provides an overview of environmental conditions and programs in the county and provides recommendations to the Board of Supervisors in a variety of environmental areas.
In presenting the report, EQAC Chairman Stella Koch noted that a new chapter had been added this year to address the county's efforts related to global climate change, and she commended the county for taking a leadership role in this effort. Koch encouraged the board to maintain its support and funding for the county's environmental efforts, which she said continue to improve and advance each year.
"Protecting and enhancing our precious natural resources is among the highest of our priorities," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly. "Fairfax County is proud to be one of the leaders of the national Cool Counties initiative, which was launched in July in partnership with the Sierra Club to reduce local government emissions by 80 percent by 2050. In the past year, the board has committed to launching a 30-year tree planting campaign, purchasing more wind power and expanding our use of green building practices."
Since 2003, the board has implemented more than $6 million worth of
projects and programs to address air quality and global climate
In 2004, the board adopted a comprehensive 20-year environmental agenda, "Environmental Excellence for Fairfax County." In 2005, the board dedicated one penny on the real estate tax rate for stormwater management projects. In the past two years, this dedicated penny has amounted to more than $40 million for improving the county's stormwater programs. In September, the board accepted an agreement to rehabilitate Pohick Creek Dam Number 4, which will be partially funded from this one penny fund.
Fairfax County also won a 2006 National Association of Counties Achievement Award for both the environmental agenda and the related "Environmental Improvement Program." These efforts are designed to integrate and link environmental goals and objectives into all levels of county decision-making and to provide a strategic approach to prioritizing environmental actions for implementation.
EQAC's annual report serves a threefold purpose:
- Assisting the Board of Supervisors in evaluating ongoing environmental programs and providing the basis for proposing new programs.
- Aiding public agencies in coordinating programs to jointly address environmental issues.
- Informing residents and others who are concerned with environmental issues in Fairfax County.
In addition to the new chapter addressing the county's efforts related to global climate change, the report covers land use and transportation; air quality; water resources; solid waste; hazardous materials; ecological resources; wildlife management; and noise, light and visual pollution.
EQAC's 2007 report is available at the Maps and Publications Sales Office in Suite 156 of the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax. The report will soon be available for review at all county public libraries and also will be posted on EQAC's Web page, www.fairfaxcounty.gov/eqac. For more information about EQAC, visit the EQAC Web page, call the Department of Planning and Zoning at 703-324-1380, TTY 711, or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Superstorm Sandy's wrath was particularly destructive to New Jersey's Long Beach Island. The 18-mile barrier island is essentially a half-mile wide strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and various inland harbors.
On some parts of the island, residents still aren't allowed to return to their destroyed properties.
Yet, many believe such damage could have been prevented.
Walk south along Ocean Boulevard in the Long Beach Island neighborhood of Brant Beach and you'll see a stark change. From 31st Street to 57th Street, the houses on both sides of the road seem fine, as if Sandy never had never hit.
Crossing 57th Street south, the sight changes. Beachfront homes have been ravaged. First floors have been completely decimated. Waterlogged debris has been scattered across people's driveways. Why the difference?
One stretch of the neighborhood recently had a 22-foot-high dune built along the beach. The other side didn't.
"If you look at the house that's actually across the street from my house, there's nothing, the garage is blown out," said Debbie Gutzler of Tinton Falls. "I would assume that what's sitting in front of my house is from their house, the hot water tank -- I'm not exactly sure."
Gutzler's LBI vacation home is going to need new flooring, new pipes and a bit of a landscaping makeover.
"You know I've got somebody's interior door in my backyard over there. So, I would imagine that's my responsibility," she said
Plans for island-long dune
In the year 2000, a federally backed project authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine how to best protect the barrier island. By 2005, the corps had a plan to build a dune stretching the length of LBI from Harvey Cedars in the north to Holgate in the south.
As of Superstorm Sandy, only three sections of that stretch were completed: Harvey Cedars, Surf City and a bit of Brant Beach.
"In those three areas there was no oceanfront damage at all to any of the homes," said Long Beach Township Mayor Joseph Mancini. "A little bit of wind but nothing like the rest of the island."
The holdup, Mancini says, was beachfront homeowners who refused to allow the corps to construct dunes in front of their property. They said it would ruin their view.
"I hate greed. Neighbors are neighbors. If you're lucky enough to own an oceanfront, why jeopardize your neighbors' properties when your belongings are going to end up on their property -- or through their property?" said Mancini.
"And that's what happened here -- cars, boats, refrigerators from the oceanfront homes ended up in other peoples' living rooms."
This battle has been raging on the island for years -- townships asking beachfront property owners to sign easements green-lighting building larger dunes, property owners holding back, hoping the township would offer them a better deal.
In Harvey Cedars, where damage is now minimal, the mayor went ahead with the project even though about a dozen beachfront property owners didn't sign the easements.
The dispute has gone through the New Jersey legal system, where courts have consistently sided with the homeowners.
Compensation for obstructing views
Essentially the legal argument goes like this: Since dunes are a benefit to the entire community, it's not fair to ask beachfront homeowners to diminish their views without providing proper compensation.
In one case that's being appealed in the New Jersey Supreme Court, a couple whose house was protected from Sandy by the new dunes has a $375,000 check coming to them because their property was devalued.
With this ruling, local governments up and down the island freaked out. In Long Beach Township, Mancini says that out of 460 beachfront properties, the owners of 200 still haven't signed their easements. Knowing a very expensive precedent had been set, new dune construction stalled.
Vince Contreras lives in an area where holdouts stalled the dune project. Although his property would have still taken on water because of bayside flooding, the tidal flooding brought the water level to heights never before seen. He now has to gut his entire house.
"You're not giving up your property," said Contreras. "You're just giving up access to it so they can do their job to protect this island."
For some though, giving up that access could spell bad business. Tom Hughes owns a beachfront bar/resort called The Sea Shell. His house in Brant Beach was saved by the dunes, but for his Beach Haven business -- which was severely ravaged by the storm -- he still opposes them.
"The view's very important," he said. "The view's a million-dollar view, but the protection's important as well."
Would he now change his mind?
"I'd have to see the scope of the project, you know if it's a mountain of sand, you know," said Hughes. "I'm not sure what I would do."
Getting tough on holdouts
For Mancini, negotiation time is up. He's started calling up every holdout in his township. Sign the easement, he says, or clean up after Sandy yourself.
"We don't threaten anybody. We're just gonna tell them that it's their responsibility to put the sand back on the beach," said Mancini. "So if they didn't allow the federal government to do that, I'm not allowing the municipality to do that. So that's where we are."
To protect the entire length of the island, the Army Corps of Engineers estimates a cost of $92 million.
Washington and the state would pay for most of it.
All told, it would cost Long Beach Township $4.1 million. Initial projection for cost of Sandy's damage to all of Long Beach Island is $750 million.

3D printing has been hailed as a revolutionary method and an efficient technology for manufacturing, allowing for the creation of shapes or objects using digital technology.

Regression to the mean is a statistical concept that I find figures prominently in many areas of life. Take football, for example. Last year the Colts and the Redskins were two of the worst teams in the NFL, with a meager seven wins between both of them. This year they racked up 21 wins and a pair of playoff berths. Meanwhile the Giants, the Super Bowl champion, failed to even squeak into the postseason.
This concept also applies to stocks. For instance, Bank of America (BAC) had a few miserable years through 2011, but was one of the best performers in the market during 2012. This type of reversal tends to happen frequently with stocks....348 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

ONLINE travel company Wotif has signalled its intention to beef up its presence in Asia after naming Scott Blume, an executive with much experience in the region, as its new chief executive.
Speaking from Jakarta, Mr Blume said e-commerce had only recently started to emerge in some Asian markets because people were previously uncomfortable booking over the internet or did not have the means to do so.
''Obviously, part of the reason I am involved [at Wotif] is because, long term, there are still significant growth opportunities in Asia,'' he said. ''We will look at all opportunities to continue to develop the brands in Australia [but] if opportunities emerge in Asia, with my background, I will be able to explore those as well.''
Wotif has been using the AsiaWebDirect brand in the region as it seeks to reduce its reliance on the domestic Australian travel market. Mr Blume replaces Robbie Cooke, who announced in September that he was leaving Wotif to become chief executive at gaming and lotteries operator Tatts.
The departure of Mr Cooke, who has been CEO at Wotif since 2007, was seen as a blow for the online travel company, which has faced challenges from a strong dollar and cheap air fares encouraging Australians to travel overseas. Wotif makes the bulk of its earnings from domestic bookings.
BBY analyst Mark McDonnell said Mr Blume would be well attuned to the business, given his industry background, and his appointment was consistent with Wotif's desire to increase its presence in Asia.
But he emphasised the challenges faced by Wotif were not solved simply by appointing a new CEO.
Once he takes the reins early next month, Mr Blume will spend the first few months formulating a plan to decide where Wotif's biggest growth potential lies.
He said he believed there was potential to grow all Wotif's brands because consumers were still shifting to online devices such as smartphones or tablets. Its other brands include lastminute.com, travel.com and latestays.com.
Mr Blume has spent 10 years working in Singapore, India and Indonesia, which has included time as president of online travel agency Travelocity and chief executive of Zuji. His latest role has been as chief executive of the Indonesian online hotel company RKI Group.
Before working in Asia, Mr Blume was chief executive of the ASX-listed ITG Ltd and a managing director of Carlson Wagonlit. He also worked at Flight Centre and Traveland.
Wotif also announced the appointment of David Do, a businessman with ''significant experience in Asia'' in digital commerce, as a non-executive director.

ESPN, world-class as always.
As for ESPN, someone will get fired, and if Real GM sues, ESPN will pay a settlement and then we'll all forget about it.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
What? You think they get 80% of their news from China?
not surprising. just like espn hears about a story and then sends their own person to just "get the info" and say its their own report rather than giving credit to those who broke the story.
I can understand your hesitation.
ESPN is increasingly unbearable. Glad they got caught.
Damn near killed 'em .
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
I'm still amazed that someone has not stepped up and tried to be a competitor to these idiots. They have gotten so arrogant that they've become lazy. They know they are the only place to get sports highlights and they take advantage of the situation. I can't stand them but I still end up watching them because I don't have a choice. I think many diehard sports fans would embrace a challenger, if for no other reason than it's NOT ESPN.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
- Benjamin Franklin
I think Yahoo Sports passed them in site traffic a long time ago, FWIW.
I've seen they've cited RealGM.com a few other times when reporting news on Howard (either by the anchor, subtitles, or the breaking news bar), but yeah, that's just sloppy and unprofessional.
It looks like NBC Sports (formerly Versus) could potentially challenge ESPN one day, but they're not quite ready yet.
I think NBC sports network is slowly trying to be a rival to ESPN. They are going to have a NFL show, a MLB show and Bob Costas is going to have an interview show starting after the olympics. They could be a real rival. They stole Michelle Beadle too.
Find 'em, build 'em up, use them until they're close to done and then let someone else give them a bunch of money.
Anyone else remember the fight Artest got in a few years ago during All-Star Weekend?

DEAR JOAN: I live in Rossmoor in a ground-level unit. Last week, I noticed a few more houseflies than normal inside my apartment, which I didn't think anything of at the time. I do open the windows often but I have screens on all of them and they are in good condition, relatively new and no holes or gaps that I can see.
Recently I noticed almost a dozen houseflies that, for the most part, were concentrated on the sliding glass door in the living room. I quickly got rid of them either by shooing them out the door or swatting them. I thought it was unusual but I thought I had taken care of the problem.
When I got home from work that night, to my shock there were at least two to three dozen flies on the living room ceiling. They were not flying about and, in fact, were motionless. So, like a maniac, I began swatting the heck out of them.
The next morning there were more flies, mostly concentrated on the sliding glass door.
These flies have a shiny golden hue to them.
I have absolutely no idea where these flies are coming from. I know that flies need to lay eggs in some sort of organic material, the eggs develop into maggots and maggots into flies. As far as I know I do not have any open organic material lying around the house. If there were a dead animal inside the house I am sure I would smell it.
The only thing I would add to this is for the past month or so maintenance workers have been working on the outside of the building, removing wood siding, tearing down wooden patio enclosures and clearing dry rot from many of the siding panels. There are big gashes in some of the siding that they are going to replace. There is also an open vent vent. I don't know if this is a contributing factor to my fly infestation. I also checked with my neighbor upstairs but she is not having any issue with flies.
Can you offer any advice or assistance? I fear I may have to have my apartment fumigated. What do you think?
David Ahlman
Walnut Creek
DEAR DAVID: The construction and open areas may be the key to your fly problem.
I sent your letter to my favorite bug guy, Steve Schutz, scientific programs manager with the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District, and he says the flies you describe sound like blowflies, also known as carrion flies.
While harmless, they are a sign that you have a dead rat, mouse or other creature in your crawl space or in the wall. With the construction, the animal may have gotten inside and died.
The flies clustered around the door are the adult, looking to get out — they are naturally attracted to the light.
Steve says if you can find and remove the dead creature, you'll get rid of your fly problem. Otherwise, you're in for a fly invasion until the poor critter has dried up or been consumed.
DEAR JOAN: Is there any way of keeping bees away from my hummingbird feeder without harming the hummingbirds?
Syl Winocur
Bay Area
DEAR SYL: Try taking the feeder down for a day or so, then putting it up in a new location. If your feeder tends to drip or leak, you may need to buy a new one. I'd recommend one that doesn't have any yellow on it, and a saucer type feeder that isn't prone to leaking.

Motor drives "hunt" for success
MalAsia strikes drive manufacturers, but motion control is stepping up, according to CONTROL Senior Technical Editor Rich Merritt's Product Roundup of motor drives and motion control devices.
otor drives have the same problems as almost all the product categories weve written about lately: A declining market overall during the past several years, a move of major markets to Asia, and a dearth of new products and technology hitting the street. When a market is down, manufacturers tend to cut back on research, development and new products, and the same appears to be true with motor drives.
The North American AC and DC drives market declined 2.3% over the past two years, says IMS Research, mostly because of the Iraq war. It expects a slight pickup in the North American drives market in 2004, but expects it will fall off in 2005 and 2006.
The Asia-Pacific market for AC and DC drives is booming, however. ARC Advisory Group predicts sales of high-power AC drives will grow 11.1% in China over the next five years, while IMS says overall drive sales will grow in India by 13.3%. Of course, that is because those countries are building new plants and an infrastructure, while the replacement market will drive sales in North America.
Users in the process control industry learned long ago that one way to save energy calls for installing variable-speed drives. Local power utilities often have grants and subsidies available to cushion the cost of purchasing new drives. Unfortunately, most North American process plants can only afford to replace failed drives in maintenance programs and not as part of a plant-wide energy reduction program.
ARC says the motion control market in North America is stepping up, and predicts an annual growth rate of 6.2% over the next five years, with OEMs on the front lines of development. ARC says manufacturers are faced with the need to handle greater product variations, run at faster production speeds, and achieve higher quality. To achieve this, ARC says machine builders will put advanced motion control techniques into new production equipment.
Alas, the motion control industry is engaged in standardization battles involving networks, programming languages and architectures, says ARC.
Therefore, as OEMs, machine builders and end users seek new and advanced drives and motion control systems that conform to some any!sort of standard, they may be frustrated by the lack of new products available. Several of the products listed below in this years roundup are just warmed-over versions of older products, with a few enhancements, such as upgrades, extensions and new options. Some are last years products, submitted again for your consideration. Few drive manufacturers are taking the lead in setting standards.
There are, as always, a few new technical advances hidden away in this years roundup. For example, we got a glimpse at the list of parameters available for asset management purposes in a Siemens Micromaster drive. The list goes on for 24 pages, and includes energy consumption information, power factor, phase current, motor inertia, and temperature of the inverter, rectifier, motor, etc. The list contains literally hundreds of variables that are being monitored or calculated by the drive, and are available to any end user who knows how to extract them. Clearly, drive manufacturers understand the need for asset management information, and are making the data available to users.
Unfortunately, weve also noticed a decrease in the quality of marketing efforts when it comes to motor drives. For example, several of the motor drive product descriptions we received for the roundup were more than difficult to understand. Just when integrators, machine builders and end users need to fully understand the complex technology being built into drives and motion controls, some leading manufacturers appear to be having difficulty communicating with them.
On one manufacturers web site, a host of technical information is readily available, but it is garbled by poor translations from the original language.
Its as if drive and motion control vendors are waiting for something wonderful to happen in the business world, so they can unleash all their pent-up new product designs and set professional marketing forces loose on us to hawk major advances in motor drive technology. We are with child in anticipation of that day.

On Sept. 12, hundreds of farmers and ag industry representatives assembled on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to encourage passage of a new Farm Bill.
What does it say? What does it say when a rally has to be held in order to remind Congress to get things done?
The 2008 Farm Bill expired on Sept. 30 and a new Farm Bill will have to wait until after the Nov. 6 election. The delay creates uncertainty for farmers who have had to deal with drought, high feed costs and other critical issues this year. Dairy farmers, in particular, need policy reforms that have been passed by the U.S. Senate and House Agriculture Committee, but blocked from floor discussion in the House.
If there is something that Congress does well, it is punt or "kick the can down the road."
After all, Congress is made up of politicians, and politicians don't want to do any anything that will jeopardize their re-election chances. Forget what's best for the country; the politicians' reelection is what matters most.
I have mentioned to my wife on several occasions that we should just vote out everyone in Congress and start over — "drain the swamp," so to speak. That would send a message to Congress that the people's business comes first, not individual re-election bids.
Then, I start thinking, "Well, my congressman isn't so bad. Maybe he should stay…."
Yet, my congressman made his own "waves" recently when it came out that he had gone skinny-dipping among congressional colleagues while on a fact-finding trip in Israel.
Those are the kinds of things — skinny-dipping and stupid remarks — that always get the most attention. I wish the news media would focus on the things that really count.
I was appalled during the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention that no one offered specific proposals for addressing high unemployment or the $16 trillion national debt. Instead, the emphasis was on style points — who "connected" with his audience or who showed his "human side."
A bunch of crap!
Instead of which politician is the biggest "rock star" (and, yes, this includes you, Bill Clinton), we need people who will find solutions and get things done.
In agriculture, there are some dedicated politicians, notably Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D), who have tried to get a new Farm Bill passed. Unfortunately, there are others who are afraid of tackling the tough issues and alienating certain voting blocs ahead of November's election.
Drain the swamp? That is probably too harsh. But politicians do need to be put on notice that they serve the people — not the other way around.

THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT to Play Trustus Theatre, 2/8-23
Trustus Theatre is baring it all as they produce the Tony nominated The Motherf**ker With the Hat on the Thigpen Main Stage. This show for adults-only audiences explores the reality of relationships becoming complicated and challenged by issues of loyalty, lust, love and addiction. The Motherf**ker With the Hat opens on the Thigpen Main Stage Friday, February 8th at 8:00pm.
The decision to produce The Motherf**ker With the Hat was directly related to Trustus' return to producing modern scripts that begged audiences to "trust" the 28 year old theatre company. This show with the unprintable title opened on Broadway in 2011 with screen stars Chris Rock and Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire) in the original cast. The show was nominated for "Best Play" by many of the industry's top awards: The Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Drama League Awards, and the Outer Critic Circle Awards. The show paints a true portrait of a human experience complicated by struggles with addiction and love. Even though the title is controversial, Trustus bravely added it to their 28th season knowing that audiences in Columbia were still craving shows that were challenging, revealing, had great characters, and still had room for some unexpected laughter.
The Motherf**ker With the Hat is a high-octane verbal cage match about love, fidelity and misplaced haberdashery. Struggles with addiction, friendship, love and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of the story. New York City sets the backdrop for this ethnically and culturally diverse cast of characters. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He's also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie's too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He's married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there's Julio, Jackie's cousin ... a stand-up, "stand by me" kind of guy. Our story begins as Jackie comes home to Veronica after just being hired for the first time since he got out of prison. When he discovers a man's hat by the bed that's not his - Jackie is thrown into a roller-coaster string of events. His parole, his sobriety, all his friendships all come under pressure as he tries to find out who the "motherf**ker with the hat" is.
Director Chad Henderson, recently awarded the Jasper Magazine Artist of the Year in Theatre, is at the helm of the project. "I've been jumping at the bit to work on this show," said Henderson. "It's been over a year since I've worked on a non-musical, and I couldn't be more thrilled that THIS is the show I get to work on." The title alone could make audiences anticipate that the material in the show is adult, but Henderson assures that "any of the nudity or language in the show is a product of the realism this piece necessitates." He explains, "Think about it - if you've ever been in a stressful situation or argument you've probably used some 'unsavory' language. And in regards to the nudity - well, when you've got a story about people's sex lives crashing into each other's you could expect that they might find themselves with their clothes off."
Henderson often tries to cross-pollinate with Columbia Artists when he works on a production. For Motherf**ker, he started a collaboration with local hip-hop artist Preach Jacobs in order to produce a totally original score for the show. "I'd wanted to work with a local musician on a non-musical for some time now," said Henderson. "I knew I wanted something modern for Motherf**ker. Then the stars aligned and Preach and I were able to get together and collaborate on this production, bringing his unique brand of hip-hop to the world of the story."
The cast of The Motherf**ker With the Hat is a collection of brave and talented performers some of whom are making their Trustus debut. A graduate of the Rutgers MFA Acting program, Alexis Casanovas makes his Trustus debut as the newly sober and employed Jackie. Raia Jane Hirsch (Pride and Prejudice), who studied at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, makes her Trustus debut as Jackie's wild girlfriend Veronica. Shane Silman (Plan 9 From Outer Space) returns to the Trustus stage as Jackie's AA sponsor, Ralph D. Trustus company members Michelle Jacobs (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and Joe Morales (August: Osage County) round out the cast as Victoria (Ralph's wife) and Cousin Julio (Jackie's cousin from Puerto Rico).
The production team boasts the work of many talented designers from Columbia. Scenic Designer Kimi Maeda has created the world of Motherf**ker by using periactoi (three sided revolves) that allow the set to rapidly morph into three specific locales. Trustus company member Danny Harrington returns to design the lighting after working on this season's Next Fall, and Brandi Smith (Next Fall) designs costumes. The talents of these designers ensure a rich production for Trustus patrons.
The Motherf**ker With the Hat opens on the Trustus Main Stage on Friday, February 8th at 8:00pm and runs through Saturday, February 23rd, 2013. Main Stage shows start at 8:00pm Thursdays through Saturdays, and Sunday matinees are at 3:00pm. Tickets are $22.00 for adults, $20.00 for military and seniors, and $15.00 for students. Half-price Student Rush-Tickets are available 15 minutes prior to curtain if seating is available.
Trustus Theatre is located at 520 Lady Street, behind the Gervais St. Publix. Parking is available on Lady St. and on Pulaski St. The Main Stage entrance is located on the Publix side of the building.
For more information or reservations call the box office Tuesdays through Saturdays 1-6 pm at 803-254-9732. Visit www.trustus.org for all show information and season information.

We just had the greatest final day ever of the regular season which was then followed by one of the most enjoyable World Series ever. Yet now the sport has to deal with the fact that it just gave the MVP to a guy who failed a test during the season. Sad.

text: Glut of backs could alter WVU offense By Dave Hickman August 23, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Ask Shannon Dawson what he's going to do with all the running backs West Virginia has assembled this season and the answer is simple.The same thing the offense he and Dana Holgorsen run have always done with them."The offense doesn't change. What changes is the makeup of the team, the pieces,'' said Dawson, the Mountaineers' offensive coordinator. "So the focus of the offense might change.''West Virginia's offense is widely considered a pass-first scheme, but that's not entirely true. In reality it's a playmaker scheme, like so many others in the spread era - get the ball to playmakers in space.It just seems that wherever Holgorsen has gone - Texas Tech, Houston, Oklahoma State and WVU - the best way to do that was throwing the football.That's likely to be the same this year, too, when West Virginia begins the 2013 season a week from today against William & Mary. But there could be more of an emphasis on getting the ball to running backs now, simply because the Mountaineers have so many.That wasn't the case a year ago. "There were times last year when we went into games banged up and maybe had just one really healthy running back. So at times we would go empty a lot,'' Dawson said, meaning no backs in the backfield. "We didn't run any different plays, we just ran them out of different personnel sets because that's who was healthy. So the focus is going to change because of the personnel we have. The pieces to the puzzle are different."Now, if you have a lot of running backs that are capable, you want to get those guys the ball in every way possible, as much as possible. You get the ball to your best players and if [the running backs] end up being the best players we're going to get them the ball.''West Virginia will still throw the ball to wide receivers. That's a given. Even though the top three receivers from last season - Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and J.D. Woods - are gone to the NFL, the Mountaineers will go into the opener with perhaps as many as a dozen ready to try and fill their shoes. But in Houston transfer Charles Sims, junior college transfer Dreamius Smith, juniors Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison and freshman Wendell Smallwood, West Virginia might be better stocked at running back than at receiver.If that turns out to be true - that the running backs are as strong or stronger than the receiving corps - expect them to get the ball. That could be in a variety of ways, from handoffs to short passes to lining up running backs as receivers."It doesn't matter how you get them the ball,'' Dawson said. "The important thing is getting it to them any way you can.''There seems to be another advantage to what West Virginia has in its backfield this season, too, as it relates to the Mountaineers' style of offense. With the exception of Garrison, all of the running backs are fairly similar. While Garrison is a bit more lithe than the others, Sims, Smith, Buie and Smallwood are all fairly big backs capable of running between the tackles or getting the ball on the edge.The advantage there is that defenses can't identify the back - or backs - in the game and assume they will run certain plays because of their styles. "Obviously there's a difference between Dreamius running in between the tackles and Dustin. The body types are different and the skill sets are different,'' Dawson said. "But if you get Dustin in the open field he's pretty good. That's our job being smart on how to utilize people."Still, if [Garrison] is in the game, we can't do just this with him because it's not going to take long for those guys to know that he's either running this play or that play. They'll do it all.''As for the other backs, Sims, Buie and Smallwood all seem to fit the versatile mold. Smith, because he's 5-foot-11 and 217 pounds, is perceived as more of a power runner, but even that is a misconception, Dawson said."Even in the spring, Dreamius was one of those guys that can do multiple things,'' Dawson said. "He's a very physical guy, thick guy, fast, solid. If they pigeonhole him [as just a power back] they're making a mistake. When he gets in the open field he'll outrun you as quick as anyone will.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.
