By Chris Myers Of The Spirit
BROOKVILLE — Two rivals never need any assistance to play hard against one another. Tonight, the Route 36 girls' basketball rematch between Punxsy and Brookville will take place in Brookville.
The rivalry game, though, will have a special color of pink seen throughout the Brookville High School gymnasium.
It will be "Hoops for Hope" night, with proceeds going to support Relay for Life. The funds and awareness are put toward helping in the efforts to save lives from cancer.
Bo Dinger (left) and Alexis Young (right) were named as The Spirit's Fall Sports Outstanding Player for the boys and girls, respectively, and both were stars on their respective cross country teams.
Young, a four-year Lady Chucks runner, helped her team capture the District IX championship for the first time in three years. After being last fall's Outstanding Player runner-up, the senior received 33.4 percent of the vote total — or 402 of the 1,203 female ballots cast.
DuBOIS — The Punxsy Friday night comeback started from 25 feet away. As the first half horn sounded, Brandon Mancuso banked in a long-range halfcourt triple, and the Chucks rode the momentum to the second half to power past the host Beavers, 55-50 in DuBois.
"We were able to get big hoops when we needed them," explained Punxsy head coach Dirk Neal. "It was a nice team win and a nice team effort."
PUNXSUTAWNEY – When your opponent cannot get a shot off and sees two defenders in their face at every turn, it is difficult to find the basket.
The Punxsy Lady Chucks used this exact type of smothering defense to force 32 DuBois Lady Beavers turnovers and allowed only seven buckets in a 35-20 victory Thursday night in Punxsutawney.
BELLEFONTE — After only having five bouts on the year through last Friday, Punxsy doubled its wrestling match total in a single day.
Last Saturday, the Chucks took part in the Bellefonte Red Raider Rumble.
Punxsy claimed two wins in five team matches as it defeated Crestwood (39-32) and State College (38-34).
In the other action of the all-day event, Punxsy dropped decisions to Hazleton (51-22), Downingtown (45-27) and Exeter (49-15).
The Punxsy 6th-grade boys' basketball tournament team posted three wins in four games during last weekend's two-day event hosted by the Punxsutawney Community Center.
The Punxsy team members are (front row, from left) Carter Newcome, Cameron Smith, Evan Humble, Andrew Britton, Caden Barrick; (back row) coach Mark Ewing, Austin Ewing, Alex Gianvito, Ethan Blose, Derek Huey and coach Eric Britton.
CLARION — After recording its first win of the season, the Punxsy junior high wrestling team could not make it two in a row on Tuesday night.
In a match of seven scoring bouts and nine forfeits, the junior Chucks garnered only two victories to drop their meeting with the Bobcats of Clarion, 49-33.
Alex Young (165) and Levi Campbell (145) picked up the pair of visiting wins. Young pinned his opponent, while Campbell won by decision.
CLARION — On an extremely cold night outside the gymnasium, the wrestling action inside proved to have a quick turnover down the weight classes.
In a meeting of two squads with low numbers, Punxsy dominated host Clarion, 54-18, by claiming five victories in six wrestled matches in the small card affair.
"The guys on the mat tonight looked great," noted Chucks head coach Eric Eddy. "Clarion has some holes in their lineup, but I thought we wrestled really good."
Freshmen Eli Lambiotte (106) and Kaleb Young (126) pinned their opponents to highlight the Chucks' individual victories.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Following two close defeats, the Punxsy seventh-grade boys' hoops squad found the win column Monday afternoon against Brookville.
The Chucks held a comfortable 28-9 advantage after three periods before taking away the 34-25 final over the Raiders.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy Chucks' strong effort on the glass Monday night led to a big 60-37 win over the rival Brookville Raiders.
After falling 57-49 to Bradford Friday night, Punxsy head coach Dirk Neal was unsure how his players would respond to face Brookville Monday night.
"It was a real concern with players being players. We broke down the Bradford tape yesterday (Sunday), and addressed some issues to get better," said Neal. "We had a good practice and the guys were upbeat. We wanted to give a good effort and forget about last Friday."

Just bought a Nikon D7000, Got a kit off fleabay with lens (not that I will be using the lens) for £899 new with warranty.
Primarily bought as a backup/different lens carrier for the D300 when out on shoots but going by the specs, the D300 might take a back seat.
Shame it isn't a little bigger like I am used to already.
Looking forward to doing some shots with it, one things for sure, it's not doing any UE with me as it's too new lol.
A few pics of it and them side by side...
The grip is a cheapo at £35.00 It feels a little clunky on the shutter and dials compared to my original MB-D10 but for £35.00 it's fine.

"It's hard to lose like this because we kind of felt like we let one slip away."
Jeff Ackermann
"I'm probably a lot different. It's just the difference between being 16 and being 36. It's huge. One is a teenager and the other is a real adult. Obviously I'm a better dancer, a better artist. I was not one of those child prodigies."
Julie Kent
"There have been various accounts of an incident that occurred on one of our flights, and I have issued earlier statements about that. We can confirm that there are no remaining issues between Continental and those passengers. ... Both parties feel no further comment is necessary."
Julie King
"Lauren did a good job of getting the ball to the hitters, and we have such good hitters that (one need) just put the ball up there for 'em. And she does a good job."
Julie Kolcum
"I've been off a year and I'd like one more fight before we look to a real big fight, but I'm game to fight anybody at that weight class."
Juan Diaz
"Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day."
Juan Dixon
"I expected them to drive to the hoop. I think it might have been one of those instances where they were young kids and they have not been here before and they tensed up a little and took those 3-pointers. But, you look at that team and they are so well coached. My guys didn't mind being on defense at the end and I think they were confident and comfortable because they had been in that situation before. The experience of being in the championship game before definitely paid off for us."
"It's so good for the older swimmers to see the younger ones come such a long way."
Juan Dominguez
"Be the sunshine amongst a sky full of clouds."
Scottie Somers
"The less material things you desire, the more freedom you'll discover."

-- residents it wasn't an easy -- they're getting this that they pay taxes through the nose but had no represented in congress today.
They're getting a residential license plate to make the point.
This points on this -- president ordered all White House vehicles he used the no taxation without representation.
Tea Party -- -- -- says this president has been all taxation.
Would -- represented patient -- and that's actually very good point but.
-- -- to do more of a license plate to make a statement on.
I think what's going on here.
Is is being a very loud statement that we're gonna get a lot more to -- sites and whether misrepresentation border not.
Yeah absolutely any I have to say that I'm so glad to see politicians embrace the cause that's.
Bigger than all of the issues that we're facing today which is of course themselves because that's what this is all about the District of Columbia was never meant to be kind of the metropolis that it is today mean the founders were really clear and their intent for this district they didn't want it to be under the jurisdiction of another government state government or county or anything of that manner so it was supposed to be sovereign and that kind of way.
And now because of government excess here we have representatives in DC whose job it seems to be -- to increase the size and scope of government.
And they want more representation for themselves that the little.
-- ironic.
On the audience it's -- a lot political crowd as well heavy heavy democratic I think.
Mike yeah pockets got 90% of their vote -- -- -- -- but leaving that aside.
There are many like yourself who argue.
There's not a flip side to all this push for taxation.
Or four measures -- measures -- light that are so grossly disproportionately.
Heavy on taxes than ever -- spending cuts but we do have that.
Well yeah I mean that's that's the whole battle that we're facing right now with the debt ceiling and everything else simulate the last fiscal cliff battle what was at a dollar and spending cuts for every four dollars and increase revenue.
Whatever that magical phrase drives toward petition Friday according to wait out.
It's -- forty excuse me forty dollars an increase revenue exactly mean where's the where's our representation.
And we can see the legacy -- is Dana candidate.
You know even in the 82 of them came to the that the new house in the in the take over 2010.
A very elected John Boehner speaker of the house and he returns the favor by a book letting them blow almost of the witness protection program.
So whereas then you're.
Dust whereas there is.
That's what happen.
I think -- still kind of building their numbers so to speak there's not a lot of people and and the house that have been adding quietly organizing to try to get to get a voice opposite John Boehner I'm not a huge John Boehner fan.
But at the same time I think if you're going to a stage -- -- you need to have someone in the wings that's going to challenge who.
And look at the end -- -- -- -- about that it would that be because I don't know that I considered my lesson to speak out there were fueled that's a question.
You know I'm wondering and how did they get there -- -- -- back or is it too late because they've already sent a warning to Boehner and in the senator Mitch McConnell look.
We excepted grudgingly what you guys had to do our taxes don't don't even tried again.
What happens if if we have another deal of debt ceiling deal are something that that is of -- same milk.
I I I'm.
And sensing both side I I can see both sides of the argument -- that I understand wanting to storm the castle that you need to get your foot in the door first at the same time.
I also think that people like John Boehner realize that there are dancing on edge of the cliff Pearson to speak and -- -- they're in trouble of losing their entire base which is ultimately the entire goal of this administration and when a divorce the grassroots -- From the Republican Party they're looking two years ahead at mid terms and it seems that we're still looking at some of these tactical issues and not the overall strategy.
But a lot of this -- goes back to the state level as well who are voters going to be electing to represent -- in two years power voters putting their feet that holding.
These elected officials' feet to the fire in their own states we need to see a lot more of that and ultimately I think that's the -- away.
To get some real change in the house and that's really the way that we're going to be able to enforce these grassroots values.
Well yours ought to be overcome a mainstream media that has a cast does not some crazies and and say they Occupy Wall Street movement have a normal guys so the world is upside down.
I understand that but it's time to take the offensive because what's going on here is pretty offensive.
Yeah yeah.
Absolutely -- I would like to add to -- all of these every time we see the administration.
Whether it be Jay Carney or President Obama are VP Biden get up and front of the camera give a press conference answer some questions.
About any fiscal issues -- -- this particular issue it should always be matched every single day with either Boehner or some other congressional Republican doing the exact same thing they need to start fighting fire with fire very good point.
School fair and balanced.
Do -- -- thank you could see you again.

These are great for trap shooting. Had no issues putting them through a couple 870's and a very old double barrel. It's fairly clean too. Ran one of those bore snakes through the barrel once and almost nothing came out. Did it a few more times to be sure and still got nothing. Great purchase.

Three buildings and a travel trailer sit in the backyard of a Dayton, Texas, house Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012, where 11 children, some of them reportedly found in restraints, were removed by children's protective services last month. A next door neighbor said that the buildings had electricity and that there were beds inside. Texas authorities said Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012, that they removed 11 children last month from the home where a registered sex offender lives after they found eight confined in a small, dark bedroom with restraints tying some to their beds. One month after a raid on the house, authorities are still trying to determine how the children are related and why they were there, Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter said. Along with the children, 10 adults were living in the one-story, 1,700-square-foot home. (AP Photo/Pat Sullivan)

OUTDATED has continued to appear in textbooks even though it was based on a misinterpretation of research done in the 19th century.
Image: LAURIE GRACE
One of the most dubious "facts" about taste--and one that is commonly reproduced in textbooks--is the oft-cited but misleading "tongue map" showing large regional differences in sensitivity across the human tongue. These maps indicate that sweetness is detected by taste buds on the tip of the tongue, sourness on the sides, bitterness at the back and saltiness along the edges.
Taste researchers have known for many years that these tongue maps are wrong. The maps arose early in the 20th century as a result of a misinterpretation of research reported in the late 1800s, and they have been almost impossible to purge from the literature.

Control the Cross
Control the Cross
Whether you're on port or starboard tack, the desired outcome of any crossing situation is the same: emerge in control of your destiny. "Tactics" from our April 2012 issue.
At a recent regatta, a port-tack boat was making a close cross and its team yelled, "Tack or cross?" But, I'd already decided what I wanted them to do.
"Duck!" I yelled back.
I'm sure it wasn't the response they were hoping for. Perhaps it sounded flippant. But why should I let the give-way boat control my destiny by asking me to pick between two options? There is, after all, a third.
The port-starboard cross, especially when the port boat is anywhere from a half length ahead to barely crossing, can be critically important to both boats. The desired outcome for either competitor is the ability to execute their respective game plan no matter how the other boat reacts. The key, whether you're on port or starboard, is to avoid leaving the final result to the whim of your competitor.
The question "Tack or cross?" is usually a last resort when a cross is too close for comfort. Allowing a race strategy to hinge on the answer can be a death sentence. When you ask "Tack or cross?" you put the outcome in the hands of the right-of-way boat.
By breaking down this simple situation into fundamental strategies and potential outcomes, you can improve the likelihood of coming out of a cross with the upper hand.
In a basic port-starboard run-in, the intent of the port-tack boat is usually to continue to the right side of the racecourse, while the starboard-tack boat wants to continue to the left. Or, the starboard boat may be looking to harass port and maintain control of the right. Rule 10 says that port must keep clear of starboard. It may be in both boats' interests to avoid an incident altogether. But, in most port-starboard crossing situations, someone will end up with the short straw. Here's how to make sure that someone isn't you.
The port-tack perspective
Strategy A: The port-tack boat wants to keep going to the right side
This strategy has three options, each with its own risks and likelihood of success.
Option 1: Crossing ahead is the ideal outcome for port. That's why so many people ask, "Tack or cross?" They are optimistic, but they're up against an obstacle to their strategy. Asking "Tack or cross?" can solve the problem, unless starboard responds, "Tack!" Then the strategy cannot be executed and the most likely result is a rushed, possibly poor, tack. If a lee-bow tack isn't properly placed, the port-tack boat's get-right strategy gets nixed. Starboard will be in control, and push port to the left side.
Option 2: Ducking behind starboard is a less-than-ideal outcome for the port-tack boat, but it does have a high rate of success for executing the go-right strategy. There's always a chance the duck doesn't go as planned. The sailor who hasn't nicked a starboard tacker's transom might be the luckiest sailor alive. Also, failing to unload the vang or ease the main to allow the helmsman to bear away can cause a major collision.
A clean duck will sacrifice distance, but the associated risk of fouling the starboard-tack boat is vastly lower than with a marginal cross. It's painful to pass behind another boat, but a minor loss to guarantee the success of a broader strategy can be a major gain. Port also gains total control of its port-tack lane because Rule 16.2 freezes starboard's course once port starts to keep clear by passing astern. A close duck to the favored side also means that the next time the boats meet up the course, the right-of-way will be reversed.
Option 3: Leebow starboard. A well-placed tack on the starboard boat's leebow should force it into a clearing tack. There are risks with this option. Two tacks will be required to continue right. If the leebow attempt fails, the starboard boat will be able to continue left, and take port along for the ride.
Strategy B: The port-tack boat wants to control the left
Having discussed the plan to leebow and prepped the team for the maneuver, the port-tack team should get a good look at the starboard boat to ensure a good tack under starboard's bow, and then get up to speed quickly after the tack to preserve the new lane and slow starboard as much as possible. Stick with your decision regardless of starboard's actions. If your plan is to leebow, and the starboard crew yells for you to cross; execute the leebow and race on. A late change in plans is just as risky as putting the decision off until too late.

Summer Classes at the Beach! Registration is open during your course registration window!
If you are interested in taking a summer course at Wallops Island, please contact the course instructor or Dr. Delis or Dr. Cornell below.
Do you need General Education Credit? Why not take Introduction to Literature (ENG 250) which will focus on Coastal Literature for your Category B Literature class? Or Why not take Pre-Calculus for your Math Competency requirement. Science majors in particular can benefit from these experiences! So don't wait, classes are filling fast!

Shippensburg University is proud to offer opportunities for students to enhance their learning through field studies in a range of science disciplines. A unique cooperative agreement between Shippensburg University and other academic institutions, allows Ship to offer educational experiences at the Marine Science Consortium (MSC) in Wallops Island, Virginia. The Marine Science Consortium, Inc., is a nonprofit corporation operated in collaboration with the member institutions. The consortium facilities, located adjacent to Chincoteague Bay, the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, the Assateague National Seashore, and NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility in Accomack County, VA , provide opportunities for research and study of geological, physical, chemical, and biological components of terrestrial, estuarine, salt marsh and normal marine environments, all within a short distance of the MSC facilities.
Primary facilities at the MSC campus include: biology, marine geology, and chemistry laboratories, a number of classrooms, computer lab, library, administrative offices, cafeteria, equipment rooms, an aqua lab, plus housing for students (PreCollege and College) and faculty.
In addition to facilities, there are also three research vessels owned by the MSC. They range in length from 38'-50' and are used for educational and research purposes both inshore, or in the case of the R.V. Parker, and offshore investigations. A number of small out-board boats, and sea-kayaks are also available for projects near the station.
After nearly 30 years of extensive use by hundreds of high school and college students, the facilities at MSC underwent a 15 million dollar renovation. A new cafeteria has been built, as have new residential and laboratory facilities. The result is one of the first (if not the first) LEEDS-Certified buildings on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
You can make use of this amazing resource in one of three ways.
The course offerings, course schedule, and course descriptions for the current year are posted on the MSC website (click the following logo), but are posted here for your convenience. It is a good idea to double check the MSC website for the most recent updates.
Please note that Coastal Herpetology, Coastal Ornithology, Introduction to Literature, Coastal Environmental Oceanography, and Coastal and Wetland Hydrology are taught by Shippensburg Faculty and are listed on the Shippensburg University Registration System.You should fill out an intent to enroll as soon as possible via the MSC's website (www.msconsortium.org -click on college programs). If you would like to take a course not taught by Shippensburg Faculty, you may still receive credit for the course. You need to register for that course through the University who is teaching that class (see instructions below).
For courses offered at the Marine Science Consortium, the registration process depends on which university you attend and the university that is offering the course you are interested in.
Tuition and fees for Shippensburg University are listed on the following website: http://www.ship.edu/Student_Accounts/Summer_Semester_Tuition/ and will be determined at a later date for summer 2013. For a general idea, tuition and fees for Shippensburg is dependent on residency status, but for a Pennsylvania Undergraduate Resident in 2012:
MSC Course Fees
Total cost of the average summer course (IN 2012) at the MSC for a PA resident?
Financial aid can be applied to summer courses at the MSC, as long as you register for at least 6.0 credits in the summer (whether here at Ship or at a partner University). You can ask for aid to cover the tuition and fees for the credit hours as well as books, housing, meals, and equipment fees. It is your reponsibility to check with the Financial Aid Office for further details and instructions. If you are not eligible for federal aid, you still may qualify for student loans to cover your summer course expenses.

Why Small Weddings Rock
Why Small Weddings Rock
Intimate nuptials with double digit guest lists à la Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynoldss ceremony are becoming a trend in Hollywood. Here, why these scaled-down celebrations are the next big, make that small, thing and why you should consider following suit.
By Zoe Ruderman
Peter Murdock
Special Offer
Its all about you.
When there are 25-50 guests, everyones eyes will be on you, says Samantha Goldberg, celebrity event planner. But when there are 200 or 300, its just not possible for the focus to always be on the bride. And lets be honest here, this is your day to be the center of attention.
You can have your dream wedding.
Designer dress. Jaw-dropping location. Stunning flowers. Amazing band. Yep, even on a modest budget, a Hollywood-style wedding is possible when you keep the numbers down. The less you have to spend feeding throngs of people, the more you can splurge on the things that matter to you.
Your fiancé will thank you.
The bigger the bash, the higher the stress level, according to Goldberg, who says shes seen women break down from exhaustion, go on antidepressants, and blow up at their guy when planning huge weddings. Plus, when brides-to-be get stressed or anxious, they tend to micromanage, she adds. And no man wants to be micromanaged. So do yourself and your fiancé a favor and limit the guest list.
Youll have more fun.
The post-ceremony party is just that a party. But when you have a ton of guests, it seems more like an obligation. With hundreds of people there, women start to feel like they need to host, and forget to have a good time, explains Goldberg. In fact, at 75% of the large weddings, the bride walks into the reception hall, turns to me, and says, I cant wait for this to be over. Keeping it intimate enables you to relax and focus on your happiness as a couple.
It gives you an excuse to invite only those you love.
Instead of feeling bad about not including your entire sorority or being pressured in to sending a Save-the-Date to your dads golf buddies, you can just say, Im so sorry, but were having a small wedding and really have to limit it to immediate family and close friends. No hurt feelings. No guilt. Just a group of people you really want to be with.

Champagne Corking Help Needed
Posted 08 April 2010 - 11:44 AM
Any advice on how to get the corks to go in far enough would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Posted 08 April 2010 - 03:49 PM
Are the corks going in part way but not far enough or are they not going in at all?

Your black discoloration is from the compression jaws not being clean.
Are the corks going in part way but not far enough or are they not going in at all?
What is the proper way to clean the jaws?
Posted 09 April 2010 - 08:10 AM
Howie -They don't go in easy. It may require a lot of pressure to get the cork to go in. Both hands on the lever and putting your weight on it. But don't insert them too far or you may never get them out safely. A spacer on top of the compression jaws helps here.
I'm putting full wieght on them. I don't seem to need any spacer. The best method so far is to compress the cork, then line the bottle up underneath. Then put big time pressure to try to insert the cork. Haven't been able to get it in far enough. Sometimes, the cork gets torn up.

Mine doesn't. If yours does, you have to pull the the attachment out of the way - down against the upright - to properly insert a champagne cork. The upright position is for normal corks in normal bottles. Other than that, I can't think of any reason the corks don't go in. Try positioning a bottle and compressing the jaws without a cork, but leave the push rod above the jaws and look into the jaws. Is the hole in the center of the compression jaws lined up with the center of the neck of the bottle?

I have a portugese floor corker and I want to bottle some sparkling wine.
I've got the crown cap sorted out but I would like to make it look fancy and after disgorging put a mushroom cap on it.
From my understanding the mushrooming is cause simpy by having an extra long cap partially inserted which then the upper top expands into a mushroom shape and hooded to prevent the pressuring from pushing it out.
So the different is the hight of the compression jars? or is there something more to it?
I could use plastic sparkling stopers with hoods which are also reusable but I still havent made up my mind.
Posted 17 October 2011 - 07:02 AM
Posted 17 October 2011 - 09:32 AM
I meant an attachment for regular corker not regular wine attachment for the champagne corker...The attachment is for inserting normal corks for normal wines
Do you think that maybe you can take a few pictures of the set up (since I think I've read before that you make bubbly)?
Can my portogese corker be somehow DIYed to cork mushroom corks aswell?
Posted 17 October 2011 - 10:27 AM
Posted 17 October 2011 - 11:42 AM
I found some info, it says that the jaws are simply wider to accomodate for the larger diameter cork (28mm vs 23.5-24).
I did a small test with some left over corks I had from last month's bottling. with the insert bar depth adjusted to a minimum I get slightly less then 2\3 of the 44mm cork in which seems sufficient for a mushrom cork,that is if it can get through into the bottle since there is a small opening at the bottom of the jars where the compressed cork is guided into the bottle. so It might block the compressed champagne cork and make a huge mess.
I think i'l stick with plastic corks since they are also reusable. (What ever I use will have to be bought from over seas so I prefer something which is reusable).
Oh an btw, what size crown caps are you using?
My 26mm arent fitting my bottles, do I need 29 or 31?

JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Viewers of weather broadcasts on Lansing television station WILX-TV will get a view from above of mid-Michigan communities as Consumers Energy sponsors the Weather Authority SkyCam Network.
The first cameras at Sparrow Hospital and Consumers Energy's headquarters in downtown Jackson started operating Monday, Oct. 21.
"Our Promise to Michigan is to deliver the energy you need, whenever you need it. These cameras will be providing a view of the latest weather conditions constantly, just as we are on watch for bad weather around the clock," said Garrick Rochow, vice president of energy delivery for Consumers Energy.
The cameras will provide round-the-clock footage of weather conditions in the communities served by Michigan's largest energy provider and WILX-TV. Weather cameras already are providing footage in Lansing and Jackson, and soon will be operating in East Lansing, Charlotte and St. Johns.
Consumers Energy works constantly to limit the number and length of electric interruptions. Its employees plan in advance of bad weather and deploy crews around the state to respond when storms strike.
The company also created an online map last year that provides information on the location and number of outages at all times, and offers the up-to-the-minute information when energy will be restored. Go to www.ConsumersEnergy.com/outagemap.
"You can count on these weather cameras to provide you with information you need, and we are proud to be sponsoring them," Rochow said. "Count on us to watch the weather, too, as we work hard to keep the lights on."
Consumers Energy, Michigan's largest utility, is the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS), providing natural gas and electricity to 6.6 million of the state's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
For more information about Consumers Energy, visit us at www.ConsumersEnergy.comor join us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/consumersenergymichigan.

Michigan residents will be able to view footage from the cameras during on-air WILX broadcasts and online at www.wilx.com/weather. Or check the view by downloading the WILX News app for Androids and iPhones.

"If you strike me down now, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"- Obi Wan "Ben" Kenobi
By burying the video, Nike has turned into more than just a video... it's now a legend.
Xavier's Jordan Crawford has become an overnight star after word spread that he dunked on LeBron James during the LeBron James Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio and the dunk was caught on video. According to witnesses at the camp, a Nike rep confiscated the LeBron James getting dunked on video, leaving the dunk to live on as an urban legend.
Now Jordan Crawford has spoken out, confirming that the LeBron James dunk did occur.
I came down the middle. He just happened to be there. ... I was geeked about it, more than anything, just because it's LeBron.
Meanwhile, Ryan Miller, the videographer who had his tape confiscated by Nike, has also talked about the Jordan Crawford-LeBron James dunk. He says that the LeBron James dunk is just as good as you might imagine.
[The dunk] was good. I haven't looked online to read too much about it. It was as good as it could've been hyped up to be.
