While it has poor showings in just about every measurable health statistic of the past decade, Floyd County hit a new low Wednesday, when it was ranked dead last in overall health among the state's 120 counties.
The county received the bad news with the release of the latest County Health Rankings, compiled annually by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
Eastern Kentucky as a whole fared worse than the rest of the state, with 19 of the bottom 20 counties lying east of I-75. Other nearby county rankings included Knott County at 103; Magoffin, 104; Johnson, 108; Martin, 114; Pike, 115; and Perry, 119.
Still, Floyd County scored below all the rest. Among factors playing a role in the county's low ranking were:
• A ranking of 116 in terms of mortality. Statistically speaking, Floyd Countians lose 14,472 years of life before age 75 per 100,000 people. That is nearly double the state rate and triple the national rate, and 40 percent higher than the county's rate in 2001.
• A ranking of 118 in terms of morbidity, with Floyd Countians reporting more poor health days, poor mental health days and general poor health overall. The county also reports 11.4 percent of babies born at low birthweight, compared to 9.1 percent statewide and 6 percent nationally.
• A ranking of 108 in terms of health behaviors. Floyd County reports higher rates of smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, motor vehicle crash deaths and teen births than both the state and national averages.
• A ranking of 112 in terms of physical environment, with limited access to healthy foods and recreational facilities and high rates of unsafe water and fast-food restaurants.
Terry Brooks, executive director of Kentucky Youth Advocates, said all levels of government have a role to play in improving community health.
"As important as local action is, our state elected officials must also shoulder the responsibility for improving the health of all Kentuckians," Brooks said. "We need schools to embrace their role in children's physical and mental well-being. We need lawmakers to muster the courage to pass a statewide smoke-free law. And, until we improve the economic stability of Kentucky families through such provisions as a state-level Earned Income Tax Credit, we are not going to sufficiently improve health."
Floyd County's ranking is just the latest in a long string of poor health reports. Last year, the county was cited as having the 10th highest decrease in male life expectancy, according to statistics compiled by University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Vol. 1
The Chattanooga Mocs Scottish trio of Liam Johnston (Dumfries), Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire) and Ewan Scott (St. Andrews) are as active as any Mocs in memory over the summer months. Here is the latest as they play much of the same events:
Robb got the best of Johnston at the Tennant Cup where Johnston was the defending champion. Robb shot 288 (+6) over his 72 holes at Killermont and Gailes Courses at Glasgow Golf Club to end up tied for fifth, four strokes off the pace. Johnston tied for 27th at 298. His closing round 62 last year capture the title.
Scott has rocketed up the R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings to No. 184 since his move to men's events. His last event was the Brabazon Trophy last weekend at Formby Golf Club in Liverpool, England finishing tied for 42nd.
Rising senior Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.) had a busy couple of weeks. He followed up a tie for 26th at the 13th Annual Greystone Invitational with a quarterfinal finish in the TGA Match Play. His one-under par total of 143 (74-69) tied for seventh in the stroke play qualifying.
Scott received a well-deserved appointment to Scotland's entry into the European Team Championship. The event, played July 9-13 at Silkeborg Golf Club in Denmark, features what Scottish Golf Union officials consider to be their top six players, quite an accomplishment for 18-year old from golf's capital city, St. Andrews. The Scottish team last won the event in 2009.
Stephan Jaeger (2009-12) and Jonathan Hodge (2006-09) and have the week off on the Web.com Tour. The duo, ranked 101 and 133, respectively, are shooting to rank in the top 70 on the money list to get into the four-tournament playoff for one of 25 cards for the 2014 PGA Tour. There are seven events left starting next week at the Utah Championship in Sandy, July 11-14. Jaeger ranks in the top 10 on Tour in Scoring Average before Cut (6th), Eagles per hole (6th) and Birdie Conversion (9th).

I finally found an use for Microsoft's Windows Live Mail, a mail client that replaces Outlook Express as the light version of Outlook. Windows Live Mail has a unique characteristic: it's free and it allows you to access Hotmail accounts. Microsoft also provides a plug-in for Outlook with an exuberant description:
"With Microsoft Office Outlook Connector, you can use Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to access and manage your Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail or Microsoft Office Live Mail accounts, including e-mail messages and contacts for free!"
Microsoft probably thinks it makes you a favor by providing ways to access your mail from a desktop client, so it uses a proprietary mechanism that can only be interpreted by Microsoft's software.
But I digress: Windows Live Mail is a good way to migrate the messages from your old Hotmail accounts to Gmail.
1. Enable IMAP for Gmail.
2. Download Windows Live Mail. Microsoft no longer links to the standalone version of the product and it forces you to install a package, but you can choose the software you want to install.
3. Add the Hotmail accounts from Windows Live Mail's interface.
4. Add your Gmail account and make sure you manually configure the IMAP settings.
5. To prevent some new Gmail labels from being created, right-click on your Gmail account from Windows Live Mail's sidebar, select Properties, go to the IMAP tab and uncheck "Store special folders on IMAP server".
6. Then go to the inbox of each Hotmail account, select all the messages (Ctrl+A), right-click, choose "Move to folder..." (or "Copy to folder..." if you want to keep them in Hotmail) and select the Inbox of your Gmail account (or create a new folder). You should repeat this for each folder created in Hotmail.
If you don't expect to receive other message in your Hotmail accounts, uninstall Windows Live Mail. Otherwise, check your Hotmail accounts from time to time and manually move the messages to Gmail. Microsoft doesn't allow you to create rules for IMAP and HTTP mail accounts, so you can't forward new messages to Gmail. If you try to use the forwarding option from Hotmail, you'll notice that Microsoft still tries to keep your mail hostage.

Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
A band recieves 50 tickets. 5 piece band x 10 tix a piece. That band sells as many tickets to their own show as possible, then by the amount sold, the lineup for the night is made. Most tickets sold-deeper in line the band plays. Say one band sold 48 out of 50. One band sells 16 out of 50. The band that sold 16, opens. The band that sold 48 plays before the headliner(or headlines themselves). I know a lot of you are of an older generation, and havent done this for years, but Im looking for opinions on this. Ill start...
I think its a good idea for younger, up and coming bands to do, just to get themselves to self promote, and to get a grip on what promoters, club owners, and more popular, veteran bands that are actually making money are doing, or can do.
I think its a crappy idea for bands that have a decent following, whether it be from playing these type of shows, social media, word of mouth, or just staright up hard work self promoting, handing out flyers, burning self recorded demo cds, selling self bought merch, and the like. What do you guys think?
Ludwig Element 6 piece. Axis X pedals. Kasza cymbals. I play the crap out of my drums.
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
unfortunately this will always be the case in major market areas when a newer band wants to play a major tour stop venue sharing the bill with a national act
so whether it is fair or not ......the band gets off their lazy butts and tries to sell some tickets.....and the promoter finds out if this band can pull any heads to a gig.....
if you sell your share you most likely will not have to do it again the next time at that particular venue
it is sort of a way to earn the respect of a promoter who has never heard of a band before
now if it is a crappy little venue that is using this tactic to guarantee heads in the club then that is a slimy move and noone should go near that place
but if is a major venue who frequently houses national acts .....then it is completely fair
I have done my share of this and it always worked out for the best down the line
not sure how much this happens in middle America or in rural parts of the world
but in bigger cities this is quite common
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
This has been common since the 1980's.
The issue is promoters stop taking any quality or long term health of the club into account.
Pay to play lead to the 3 biggest clubs in the San Francisco Bay area shutting down.
What happens is it ends up not being about which band is best, or which band brings in the most people. Pay to play means any crappy band with a wealthy father/uncle can cover the tickets, or maybe one band leader has a really good day job and he covers the tickets. The promoter goes who hoo, this band covered the costs, they get to play, but then no one shows up to see them, the band is terrible, and the few people in the audience to see the other bands walk out the door. The bar does terrible, and people don't want to hang out or come back to the venue for future shows.
So many pay-to-play promoters are just trolling for any band who can cover the cost of tickets, and just don't care about anything else. The last band I was in I was also the manager. I got so many emails asking if we wanted to play shows where we would have to sell tickets, and they were all metal shows, and we were NOT a metal band at all. The promoters clearly didn't listen to the music, or read the bio, they just saw another band they thought they could take advantage of.
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
I was in a band in my mid-20's that had a pretty good following back in Sacramento. We did the sell tickets prior to the gig thing once or twice, and generally sold a majority of the tickets. We usually were opening for other "bigger" local bands, and on a couple of occasions we would bring in half of the club to see us. Once we played, the place would empty out and the headliner would play to a half empty club.
Very few bands can fill a club on their own. The club needs to be in a good location, have a great crowd regardless of the band, and be a fun place to drink/hangout. Then a band can succeed and not play to the backs of a few people sitting at the bar.
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
Another thing to think about, I believe, is the potential for competition between bands when none should really exist. It's not a matter of competing for who is better, which a pay-to-play can make happen through its very nature.
And then it really doesn't come down to the main thing: your music and getting people to hear it. It comes down to how many tickets you sold, how confident you were in selling them, how ruthless you were to your friends by making them purchase tickets from you [suffering through every type of "get me on the list" argument they have], the ultimate disappointment when some crappy band outsells you and gets the prime spot....
So I'd guess you'd have to put me on the side of Not Fair.
I hated that period.

Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
If the band with the decent following had the up-and-coming band open for them, they could do it in a smaller place, with a more familiar crowd, and not end the night frustrated and verklempt.
If your band knows another band that you either occasionally play gigs with or see around the practice rooms, etc., getting together with them and sharing gigs/fans/resources can help immensely. Two inspired bands working together on one show can learn together, share each other's fans and promote each other...win/win.
Sorry....should have been one post.

Wiser to use your time/money to hire a real PR Firm.
Spend your time on the music...not making money for a local venue as a salesman.
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
"Pay to play" is usually a raw deal for the musicians. My band played some of these gigs back in the late 90s, but the amount of tickets sold didn't determine the headliner--we had to pay for 50 tickets, and try to sell them oursleves to make our money back. Little did we know that right around the corner were 2 venues that would let you play for free--what a better deal THAT would have been!
Ah, the naivety of just starting out. Anyways, if you want to play out, steer clear of any venues that make YOU sell tickets for THEM. It's just dumb.

Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
had to do it many times in the 90s and usually got paid pretty well
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
In 35 years playing L.A. clubs as a member of several original bands, I've somehow managed to avoid the pay-to-play scene. With sort of one exception.
One of my bands has played the Canyon Club opening both for Leon Russell, and Robben Ford (I was absent for both gigs) and they were pre-sale ticket things. I think the band was able to sell its 50 tickets each time, although I don't know how much if any was given back. I'm guessing nothing. The band - with me - may be opening for another cool artrist in January, and we'll see if the fact that we brought people in the first two times means we can skip the whole pre-sale deal this time around. I'll bet not though.
Fortunately, I'm not personally responsible for selling tickets, I'm a permanent hired-gun with this and most bands I'm in, and not required to help promote them (especially when I don't have a hand in what gigs are accepted.)
But yeah, it does kinda stink when the hoops bands jump through don't eventually pay off, and they usually don't.

Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
Unfair to the nth degree.
While the internet isn't a cure all for the state of artistry and musicianship, it has cut down on the desperation for exposure. Its one thing for bands to push their own material taking the time to network, shake hands and kiss babies. But shelling out cash to a promoter so my band can do the promotion?
I've quit companies who've had nonsensical "incentive" schemes that boil down to me paying them to work for them.
No, just no.
You'd be much better off making friends with some 20yr old marketing/business major and hiring them to manage/book shows for you.

"Gaffers tape! Yards and yards of gaffers tape" -Stewart Copeland
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
But a point person for the band is still going to encounter these pay-to-play situations. At least if the band trusts that person to say no for them, they won't end up doing disappointing gigs for no money.
One of my bands keeps threatening to get a person to work the bookers and handle social media. I really think it would help.
Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
Well, I think you are talking about paying for the bands. I think it is fair if the band is well reputed band. If not in most of the gig we can't see there are lots of new comers. I guess we don't have to pay for them. Since by giving them a chance to play in the gig is something important to them. Because gig is the place they could improve their talents and as well as the way of gaining some fans.

Re: Pay to Play gigs? Fair? Or not?
The whole idea of pay to play puts the power in the promoter's hands. I'd suggest that bands look at their own drawing/attracting power and developing that first.
Promoters push too far beyond their power and ability and end up with nothing in the end and that's perfectly fine by me. Most promoters I've come across have no idea how to, and no intention of promoting anything or anybody. They do want young and hungry bands to work for them, generate money for them, while also trying to micromanage "National" acts.
This puts me in the position turning into Mr Ego Crusher. I've never been one to accept things as "just the way it is" especially when it is the artist or craftsmen who is the one at the center of generating revenue, interest, notoriety etc.
sorry for the incoherent rant. I just really hate the idea of new and seasoned artist being treated as pushovers under the veil of paying dues. Especially at a time when the pieces of the old machine are looking for ways to justify their existence by finding ways of getting a piece of the bands actions (if there is any) or by making money off people's dreams and desperation.

Cesar Gracie: 2 Weeks Out Nate Didnt Know If His Fight With Henderson Was Really On
Cesar Gracie is a lying sack of shit who will do anything to deflect the blame. Did you guys know his last name wasn't even Gracie? His mother is Sonja Gracie-Gronning, daughter of Carlos Gracie. So his legal last name isn't Gracie because the Gracie heritage is from his mom's side. He changed his surname to Gracie himself. He was not born a Gracie, he was not asked to become a Gracie.Not to be overshadowed by the more immediate, and perhaps more anticipated, matchup between Nick Diaz and GSP are the April fights of Nate Diaz and Gilbert Melendez. These two fighters have long been at the top of the lightweight division, Diaz in the UFC and Melendez in Strikeforce.
On Diazs recent loss to Henderson, Gracie remarked confidently that it was just a learning experience for the young Stockton native. He didnt look good. I dont think it was indicative of who he is, he had a bad night. Not a bad night. Im not going to say that. He got beat by the better guy that night, for sure You could see it even in the weigh in, with his physique. If you look at the last fight before that, you know. These fighters, they got to prep correctly. There were contractual issues and stuff like that. I mean people dont know this, but literally a couple weeks before the fight Nate wasnt even sure he was fighting. It was that bad. We were having problems with certain things. It got resolved, but you know, its hard to train for a fight like that with that mentality when youre not happy with certain things and everything. It was a mistake on his part, you got to just put all that aside and Henderson, thats what he did, and thats why hes the champ today. But its a learning experience and were going to move on So it goes for all of us, me, you, Nate. Its a life experience, hes going to move on from it.

Samsung fires another cheap shot at Apple with ad poking fun at Apple Maps
Samsung hasn't wasted anytime taking advantage of Apple's problems with its Maps app in Australia. In a strange marketing campaign in Sydney, Samsung set up a muddied 4 x 4 vehicle in the city center with a tent and other camping supplies strewn around it, making it appear that the owners were lost. The news comes from [cnet] http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57558757-37/samsung-knocks-apple-maps-in-sydney-marketing-stunt/) who managed to get some pictures of the mocked up incident.
CNET Australia has snapped pics of a little guerrilla marketing by Samsung featuring a muddied-up vehicle with a tent and other camping supplies. Next to it is a sign that says, "Oops, should have gotten a Samsung Galaxy S III. Get navigation you can trust.
If you recall earlier this week, Police in Mildura, Victoria, Australia, issued a warning to motorists, cautioning them against relying on Apple's new iOS 6 Maps. This came about after receiving distress calls from motorists who had become stranded in a national park after following iOS 6 maps directions.
The ad is really just a bit of fun but it does show that Samsung will take any opportunity going to take a shot at Apple. Of course it's all a bit of a moot point now, with the release of the official Google Maps app for the iPhone; you can get the best of all worlds now!

Samsung fires another cheap shot at Apple with ad poking fun at Apple Maps
Samsung is just setting itself up to get hit back harder, I'm thinking the chrome book that looks identical to the air. I myself have never had a problem with maps and I use it all the time. I don't really care too much that a bridge doesn't look like its supposed to, you think google maps was perfect when it first came out?
Why is it a cheap shot when Samsung does something and truth when Apple does it? It's not a cheap shot. It's a valid punch right to the gut. It isn't a blind side or hit on a defenseless player. Apple is very capable of defending itself and deserves this punch for a very sub par product it gave us. It should of held this piece of software until it was ready.
I hate being associated with you people by carrying an Apple device. Android has the same douches though. Rene is definitely the worse. The dude always has an expression on his face like he has to take a massive shit. Go take some stool softner or ex lax buddy.
You're a freakin idiot. Get a life, jerk wad.
Who cares. The level of detail in Bing Maps far outshines Google Maps anyway. The only 2 differences is Google had a head start and people tend to write off Bing because it is Microsoft.
In time Apple Maps will get better. People just need to give it time.
How is this "strange marketing" or a "cheap shot"? I thought I was on 9to5Mac for a second.
Funny how a discussion about a software product turns into a personal attack for some "douches". I've personally never had a problem with Apple Maps. Works just fine for me. But I understand that it hasn't worked for everyone. Good to see some business vollies going back and forth. Nothing wrong with what Samsung did in the story. Apple is more than capable of taking care of themselves. With all of the choices, if you don't like what the Apple products do for you, then you have other choices. For me, I'm very happy in the Apple ecosystem.
Agree that the "cheap shot" title and the content "The ad is really just a bit of fun but it does show that Samsung will take any opportunity going to take a shot at Apple" don't match.
If writers aren't allowed to make up their own article titles because they're not great at marketing, why does this sort of discontinuity keep happening in today's media environment?
Because it looks like the "professionals" aren't very good at this, either.
It doesnt matter what side of the fence your on, it's pretty funny :)
Cheap shot? Pointing out why a competitors product is inferior to your own product is not a cheap shot. These companies are in business to make money. Get a grip -- especially when the executives of Apple have gone so far as to issue an apology for that specific product... The fact that Apple is seeking additional damages on top of $1B to Samsung is a "cheap shot". I have an iPhone.. I moved from Android to iOS... Clearly Apple has indicated that the gloves are off here -- reap what you sow.
I think its funny, because its true. lulz!

Buildings & Energy
Leading with conservation and renewable energy
By a variety of metrics, Seattle is a national leader in energy conservation, green energy production, and sustainable building. For example, Seattle is in the top 10 cities with the most LEED and Energy Star certified buildings-holding its place alongside much more populous cities (e.g., New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago). The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy ranks Seattle 5th in the nation for policies and programs advancing energy efficiency. Seattle City Light, our publicly owned electric utility, is "the nation's greenest utility."
How we build and operate buildings and landscapes impacts the climate, the planet's water and other natural resources, occupant health and an owner's pocketbook. Sustainable building is one of many terms given to a suite of approaches and strategies employed to improve a building's environmental performance and provide health and financial benefits to owners and occupants.
The Office of Sustainability and Environment works with multiple City departments to develop policy and implement initiatives that promote sustainable development and resource efficiency. Green building code requirements and permitting incentives are facilitated through the Department of Planning and Development. Seattle City Light and Seattle Public Utilities offer incentives and assistance to help homeowners, developers, and building owners to conserve energy and water. See the Buildings + Energy Incentives section for a comprehensive list.
OSE Key Initiatives
The Office of Sustainability and Environment plays a role in the following initiatives. See the Programs & Policies page of this section for all the Building & Energy related work the City is engaged in.
Below is a summary of the Buildings & Energy strategies, goals and progress to date from the City's environmental progress report, Moving the Needle. Visit the Moving the Needle page for more information, download the full report, or check out the report's Buildings & Energy section for infographics and more.
The City is committed to meeting future energy needs through conservation and renewables as well as protecting our important energy resources for today's generation and the next. Our strategies include:
Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is our first priority for meeting electricity needs.
Green Buildings
Seattle is one of the top green building markets in the nation.

By Kristen Fritz
They say a mother's love is irreplaceable and undeniably pure, but being told that you are unable to have children can be heartbreaking and create emptiness. You want to fill a desire that cannot be met. Fortunately, for a Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., couple, their wish came true.
After adopting their first child; Ethan, Kristin and Will Banker hosted a boys' choir from Kenya through their church. They fell in love with them, and their "eyes were opened" to the bleak outlook for the large number of orphans in the area, the couple states in a Northwest Florida Daily News article. They found 7-month old Tariku through their adoption agency and read his story and browsed through his photos. The moment the Bankers saw Tariku, they knew he was their son.
Kenya does not have an international adoption program, but Ethiopia does for 5 million children without families, Will said. Kristin felt a calling to adopt, and with time Will did as well.
"When God tells you to do something, you just do it," Kristin said.
A new policy in Ethiopia requires prospective adoptive parents to make two trips. The extra cost and time required for travel seemed too much for them. They started to switch their paperwork to a domestic adoption, but after experiencing a multitude of "signs," Kristin was convinced she was meant to adopt an Ethiopian child.
After regretfully turning down a little girl, they came across Tariku and instantly fell in love. International adoption in Ethiopia must be approved by local courts with the prospective parents present. After 13 long months, their adoption finally passed and they were able to go get their child.
They finally made it back home in early January. Their new life as a family of four has been an adjustment for everyone, but they're settling into a new kind of normal. Their adoption journey was long and full of ups and downs, but the Bankers said they would do it all over again.

Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
The voters of Waitsfield have chosen to participate in planning and zoning as prescribed by the statutes from the state of Vermont. Most Vermont towns similarly participate in like activity thereby requiring permits for development of land and structures. All zoning activity is strictly regulated by certain standards within the laws from the state.
Susan B. Lee Living Trust submitted application #3380 which needed conditions approved before construction of a single-family residence as a requirement from the subdivision in 2005. A hearing was held on August 28, 2011, by the Waitsfield Development Review Board where the conclusion reads as follows: "Application #3380 is hereby APPROVED." This notice of decision was signed by Brian Shupe, the chair of the Waitsfield DRB.
Moving forward, that permit has been amended twice by the Waitsfield Zoning Administrator, although we and the DRB do agree the Waitsfield bylaws do not allow the ZA to amend permits issued by the DRB. The reason for the second amendment was to correct the violations from a 27-foot permitted height and a 35-foot permitted side setback to an actual 35-foot height and 30.9-foot side setback. The violations were issued in a "Notice of Violation" signed by the ZA. This second amendment occurred despite the Waitsfield bylaw that reads as follows: ARTICLE VI. ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT 2. "A zoning permit shall not be issued for a development that is in violation of a previously issued permit."
Also it may be noteworthy to consider that since the beginning of construction the house has not been legally permitted due to the violations. Additionally, we have appealed the ZA's authority to amend. And any permit under appeal is "not in effect." Therefore, any decisions by the governing authorities shall be considered "without prejudice" or, in this case, the structure shall not create any bias in the final outcome. Building "at your own risk" could have major consequences.

Hawks Fall Short to Penn-State Behrend
- Release Date:
- February 13, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College women's basketball team lost a hard-fought 62-52 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference battle to Penn State Behrend February 13th at the Hafner Recreation Center. The Hawks rebounded from a mid-January lop-sided defeat in Erie, PA to seriously challenge the Lions, who sit in 3rd place in league standings with a 12-5 record.
Natalie Whitman led all scorers with 21 points and 10 rebounds, marking her 8th double-double this season. Sarah Lorusso chipped in 10 points and 6 assists for the Hawks (3-20, 1-16). Ally Burke led three Behrend double-figure scorers with 15 points and Holly Bourquin grabbed 15 rebounds (8 points).
Hilbert opened the game with a 16-2 run with five different players finding the score book. Jenah Labuski hit a 3-pointer to get Hilbert rolling, and her lay-up at 12:57 gave the Hawks their largest lead of the game. The Lions found their legs, and, after hitting back-to-back 3's, they took their first lead (17-16) at 7:50. The two teams traded blows the rest of the half with Hilbert holding a 30-27 advantage at the break. Whitman and Labuski were each 1 for 1 from beyond that arc leading the Hawk charge with 9 and 7 points respectively.
The second half picked up right where the first left off. Hilbert grabbed a 37-27 lead by 16:50 after Whitman hit twice and Lorusso knocked down a 3-pointer. Turnovers and cold shooting by Hilbert allowed the Lions to creep back and tie the contest 39-39 at 13:19. Hilbert played tough defense with consecutive block shots by Whitman and Kateland Ball, but their offensive production cooled the last ten minutes of the game. Behrend was perfect from the foul line making all seven attempts to escape with a victory.
Hilbert finished the game shooting 40.7% from the floor and held Behrend to 33.3%. The Hawks have held their opponents to less than 35% FG shooting all season, holding down the number one spot in league rankings. Hilbert's 14 steals and 8 blocks created 21 Behrend turnovers, but the Lions out rebounded Hilbert by 21 (51-30).
Hilbert's last regular season game is this Saturday, February 16 when they take on the AMCC regular season champions, La Roche College (21-1, 16-1). Prior to the start of the game, the Hawks will honor senior Amber Grosch in her last basketball game of her four-year career. Come by and support your Hawks!
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Rufus Jones on Leadership
"There has been a curious and yet widespread tendency manifested to confuse unity with conformity. They are totally different. The former is of the highest importance... Uniformity, on the other hand, is disastrous, even deadly. It levels down instead of up. It cramps and compels the mind…Social progress is not inevitable. It is not like an escalator, the moving staircase, which goes steadily on and carries the climber upward whether he walks or not...We cannot be persons without being woven into a social group, and, alas, the group to which we belong is not on an escalator. If it goes upwards, it will be because some of us who belong to it take the risk of practicing a forward-looking vision; because we are ready to make hard sacrifices for a truth that has broken in our souls…Visions of advance are things to be done, not to be easily talked about. They are ways of living, not dreams of a sleeper."
From "Building the Kingdom," by Rufus Jones
Class of 1885 and Professor of Philosophy, Haverford College
