Solomon Billy was born on July 28, 1931, in Corinne to Wesley Billy and Nellie Charlie Billy. He passed from this life on December 6, 2011 in Plano, TX, at the age of 80. Sol enjoyed so much, getting up early and cooking breakfast for himself, and whoever was up with him, eat, drink coffee, and talk about news, the garden, or anything in between. He would many times go out on the front porch and sit and drink coffee and watch the goings on. No matter what went on, when Sol told it, in his own unique way, he could make it so funny, you would find yourself laughing so hard you'd lose your breath. Sometimes someone would come by to visit, or need an entertaining partner to go to town with, usually to the parts store. Sol always had lots of funny stories to tell and made visits and trips a treat. He and Margaret enjoyed visits from their grandchildren and great grandchildren every weekend or so. Just watching and listening to them sing and tell jokes and just being silly made them laugh and gave them pleasure and many happy memories. No matter if you were expected or not, Sol and Margaret made you feel welcome, and you knew there was going to be good home cooked food, and lots of laughs. Sol will be missed so much by so many people, there really aren't words to describe the lonely, quiet, void he has left that can never be replaced. But, Solomon Billy loved the Lord, and he is not in our past, he is in our future. Solomon was a member of the Grace Communion International Church. In his earlier years he enjoyed hunting and fishing, coaching Little League baseball, and playing baseball and softball. He and his wife Margaret, and family, enjoyed going to Gospel singings all around the area. For many years they were out fellowshipping with others at singings somewhere every weekend. Solomon also played the guitar and sang and was a popular guest at the singings. For several years Solomon and Margaret hosted a singing, get-together at their home, to celebrate Sol's birthday, and lots of friends and family would come and sing and dance and have some of the best times of their lives, and leave looking forward to next year's birthday celebration. He was preceded in death by his parents. Also, two sons: Darryl Billy and Robert Thomas, one daughter: Geneva Ruth Billy, one granddaughter: Amber Dawn Day, two brothers: Byington and Edwin, and one sister: Deloris. He leaves behind his loving wife of 58 years, Margaret Sharkey Billy, nine sons and their wives: David and Jeanie, Jerry and Kelly, Johnny and Karen, Thomas, Solomon Jr. and Vivian, Donald and Donna, Neil and Teresa, Justin and Gina, and his youngest son, Michael. He has three daughters and their husbands: Jo Ellen and Carey, Yvonne, Camilla and Richard. Surviving siblings are, one brother: David, and two sisters: Hazel and Versa. He has 80 grandchildren & great grandchildren. A special friend and neighbor: Jeffrey Davis, and a large host of friends, many from childhood on, and neighbors, who all loved him very much and will so miss him. Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, December 9, 2011 at Rattan High School Gymnasium with Mr. Arnold Clauson officiating. Serving as Pallbearers were David, John, Jerry, Sol, Jr., Donald, Neil, Justin, & Michael with Honorary Pallbearers as Jeffrey Davis, Sr., Amos Wesley, Eugene Wesley, & Lenus Wesley. Interment followed at Billy Family Cemetery in Rattan. Family and friends may send online condolences at www.millscoffey.com.
Funeral services conducted by Mills & Coffey Funeral Home in Antlers.

Things I liked:An update here, I have had this pistol for well over a year and have shot it many, many times. It still shoots real good. I have been so happy with this pistol.
Things I would have changed:Adjustable sights are the only thing I can think of. It shot a little to the left when I first got it. I cut a small sheet metal tab with a notch in it and super glued it to the rear sight. Not it hits right on at 20 yards or so.
What others should know:This pistol is so worth the price. And with the TSD .29 gram aluminum bbs, this thing is a bad, bad boy!
Things I liked:Lightweight yet feels sturdy. Comes with a good pistol case. I bought this to replace my Crosman C11 after its O-ring cracked. On the C11 I kept bumping the mag release button at times in battle but the 1911's release button is placed just high enough from the grip that I can still quickly get to it and will not bump it by mistake.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:This is a close range weapon only. Anything past 50ft and your accuracy starts dropping.
Things I liked:I have not been amazed in a while ... I was yesterday when I received this gun. This gun feels so nice. It is constructed as solid as my regular action pistols and heavery than most of them. I am rather new to air soft- I only own one other- a Sig spring powered. I was surprized when I first shot it, but this thing really kicks ass! Love those magazines!
Things I would have changed:Whats to change? The trigger gaurd seems a tiny bit small but the trigger has some play so my finger goes in easily.
What others should know:This thing shoots hard as hell! And it gets the most with .25 gram bb's. I am on the edge of getting another one. Oh yeah, about the case ... not a Plano but not bad either. Not bad at all! One more thing,it gets a lot of shots from one co2 cartridge! I definately recomend this pistol!!!!!!!

ATHENS, Ga.---The Chattanooga Mocs (3-6) could not shake off a slow start, falling 87-56 at Georgia (3-4) Monday night. Chattanooga shot a season-low 29.7% (19-64) from the field, including 18.2 percent (6-33) in the first half.
"We never got Georgia out of their comfort zone," Head Coach Will Wade said. "They beat us with their set offense. I thought we would be able to guard it pretty well because it was set stuff. I was obviously worried about rebounding coming into the game, and we just got killed on the glass. Part of that is that they're so big and we can't get inside position on them.
"We have to do a better job of fighting and coming up with something."
The Mocs were led by junior Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania), who had 14 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Eric Robertson (Huntsville, Ala.) tied his season-high with 13 off the bench, including 3-3 from 3pt range.
Georgia was paced by Nemanja Djurisic, who came off the bench for 14 points and five boards of his own. Juwan Parker added 11 points and five rebounds, while Kenny Gaines had 10 and a game-high four assists.
The Bulldogs made shots early and often. They took the lead into double digits for good, 20-9, on a Djurisic three-pointer at 12:47. It swelled to 14 before Mason's jumper in the paint at 10:55 got it back to 12, 25-13.
An 11-0 run pushed the UGA lead to 23, 36-13, capped by a Marcus Thornton layup. The Mocs just could not make enough shots to cut into the lead and trailed 47-17 at the break.
The best spurt for Chattanooga came early in the second half. The Mocs outscored their hosts 18-7 over a six-minute stretch, highlighted by an Alex Bran (Memphis, Tenn.) layup at 11:29.
However, Chattanooga dug too deep a hole in the opening 20 minutes. The Bulldogs cruised from there for the win. UGA shot 50.7% (34-67) for the night and dominated inside with a 54-22 advantage on points in the paint.
"We got frustrated," Wade added. "They are taking away some of their strengths, and we're not as comfortable with our counters yet. We have to get comfortable with those over the next eight days before we play again."
The Mocs are off until next Tuesday, December 10, when they host Hiwassee in McKenzie Arena. Game time is 7 p.m., listen live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in Chattanooga, or go to the men's basketball schedule page on GoMocs.com for links to video (PPV), audio (free) and live stats. You can follow @GoMocsMBB on twitter for live updates as well.

It's here! Upper respiratory season has officially arrived and I have started to see coughing, wheezing and some children with respiratory distress. While coughs really worry parents, coughs are actually protective and are natures way of protecting our lungs. But, I am constantly talking to parents about coughs and watching for respiratory distress.
The need to watch a child for respiratory distress is one of the most important discussions I have with parents, especially so for those with infants and toddlers. who will be getting all sorts of upper respiratory infections this winter, including RSV. I remember being an intern and suddenly being immersed in an ER full of coughing children. I was told, "you will know a child in respiratory distress when you see them", and that was true. Once you see one you never forget.....so check out the video on The Kid;s Doctor TV of a recent patient I admitted to the hospital with respiratory distress! You should NEVER see your child using their tummy, chest and neck muscles to breath! This pulling is called retracting. This child was really "working" to breath when they showed up in my office as the last patient of the day (true). Fortunately, he is fine now after a few days in the hospital, but he was really sick and his mother was rightfully scared and worried.
When talking about coughs and respiratory distress I tell parents that many times the "visual is MORE important than the audible". Your child may have a terrible cough, which can be even louder than an adult. They cough up mucous, or even vomit up some mucous and be just fine. On the other hand even a small little cough can be so tight that a child is having a hard time breathing.
So, when assessing your child's cough, always lift up their shirt/gown etc. and LOOK at their chest. Make sure they are not "working to breath". You should not see those rib muscles moving in and out and they should not be using their tummies to breath. I look at every chest at this time of year.....all clothes off.
Next look at their color, remember red is good and blue is bad. A child will often cough so hard they turn red in the face, but they should never have a dusky or bluish color. Again, the sound is not as important as how they look.
This is just the beginning of a long season, but this video is worth more than a thousand words and the mother of this little boy allowed me to video him in hopes of letting others know what they DON'T want to see.

Fort Dorchester was eliminated from the state volleyball playoffs Thursday with a 3-1 loss to South Aiken.
The Patriots had a solid start as they jumped out to a sizeable lead in the first game but the Thoroughbreds rallied for a 26-24 win. Fort Dorchester got its hitting going in the second game to earn a 25-21 win. After that, South Aiken was too strong at the net and the Thoroughbreds earned a pair of 25-15 victories to clinch the match and advance to the third round.
"At times we played well," Fort Dorchester coach Tarshie Burrell said. "We just needed to stay ahead and failed to do so."
The night marked the end of one of the best seasons the Patriot volleyball team has ever seen. Fort Dorchester finished as the region runner-up to Bluffton, a team that was ranked among the Top 10 Class AAAA teams for part of the season and that also advanced to the third round.
The Patriots finish the year with a 25-6 record.
"As far as this team, I wouldn't trade anyone if I could," Burrell said. "They were a true team and worked hard all season. I love them all and it's hard to say goodbye to my six seniors. However, I am happy the program is moving in a positive direction."
For South Aiken, the night marked its second consecutive win over a higher-seeded team. The Thoroughbreds entered the playoffs as a No. 4 seed, but upset No. 1 seed Carolina Forest in the first round.
"We're very pleased," South Aiken coach Laurie Ulmer said. "Our passing was great in the first round and then it brought us down a little tonight before we got it back together. Overall the girls are coming together as a team, working well together and playing with a lot of heart. Our Libero gave us everything she had tonight and our setter also gave us everything we were looking for. On the outside, Bailey (Parker) brought it. Really a lot of girls stepped up tonight."
South Aiken faced Aiken, another No. 1 seed, in the third round Tuesday after press time.

I'm a M1919 newbie, so far still rounding up parts.
I have a kit, spare barrel, rivets and a MG42 tripod adapter.
The internals are going out this week for machining.
I'm waiting on ORF to get some RSPs and KMP to get some more triggers and sears.
The pricing on tripods is scary, the ones I've seen go for $800 to $1000. (M2's w/T&E)
I found re-pro's for $500.
MG42 AA pods can be had for under $100, so I bought one of these adapters.
I kinda like the thought of being able to stand up while firing, but I may add a M2 later.
I got this on a GB for $210. it holds two ammo boxes, one for the ammo and one to catch the links.

Hubbard: Scrooge had a pointWritten by Ian Hubbard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For the past three years, I have carried out a special Christmas tradition of my own: people-watching at the Franklin Park Mall in Toledo, Ohio – where I live. The week before Jesus' birth, I mill around the ant farm like a mystified foreigner, always guessing which void each shopper is hoping to fill. It's a sad sight which garners no pity.
The mall is preferable because there's room to breathe. The shoppers are spread out, whereas you're going shoulder to shoulder with half the city when you're in a retail store. It becomes too claustrophobic for my taste.
This year's trip was tame, nothing too over the top. Not like 2011 when a kid around eight nearly un-did my left knee when he darted out of Build-A-Bear. I wondered why the child's screaming came to a crescendo as I turned the corner. His mother ran out flailing and accosted me as though I tried to kick the little bastard.
It's those particular mother/son tandems that convince me most parents just cave in after being harangued all year for the new toys. The never-ending sales pitch affirms my advocacy for abstaining from both children and cable.
It's funny because my parents have asked me what I wanted for Christmas every year since moving from Lima (pronounced Lime-uh) {Ohio} in August, 2007. The same request was made verbatim the first four years, "Books, cds or movies."
My Mom bought me Motorhead's No Sleep Til Hammersmith in 2008 and my Dad came through with a set of books on film history in 2011.
Then I dropped a bomb last year. When they asked I replied, "Keep the money or donate it."
Both my Mom and Dad were taken aback at first. I assured them this was not a hallucination. They insisted, as parents do, but I respectfully declined. They still ask, but I say "No." I want nothing for Christmas.
My asking became a demand this year. I know it's bloody crazy to not want anything during a time of giving. I assume it's the ex-Baptist in me. Growing up in the church, I remember learning that "the Christ-like thing to do" was to kill the urge of want and succumb to the needs of your fellow man. That message of fellowship hits hardest in the season of Auld Lang Syne. Why not let my parents keep their money for rent or meds or giving it away so someone else can eat on Christmas day?
I wouldn't say that belief in fellowship which I held to so tightly has been totaled. Even since renouncing my faith at age sixteen, I still adhere to some of those old-time traditions. Yet, I cannot help but become a Scrooge when I watch "adults" run up each other's backs during the holiday mark-downs.
It is the ultimate expression of addiction in our time: buying stuff. Buying stuff to make someone happy. Buying stuff to take up space at home. Buying stuff to fill that void located deep in their psyche. Forking over the AMEX is an easy substitute for peace and good will. It's enough to wish the whole season was called off.
Therefore, I abstain from taking part in the bloodbath. My parents want nothing, so that nullifies all personal responsibility of going out and clawing through retail zombies. The extent of Mom and Dad's Christmas list is that I have a roof over my head and I'm not locked up.
The latter becomes harder to achieve with the urge to scream in the face of every shopper. Surely, that would cause a public disturbance. But any jail-time is worth putting the wrath of the Lord into those heathens; for obstruction is the only form of protest which begets progress.
But, there's no sense is ramming my head into a brick wall. The bubble-tradition of Christmas shopping was here long before I saw the delivery room lights. In lacking the cleverness and fortitude to stage such an offense, I'll just have to wait until the world economy finally implodes.
That should be a good time – pure social entropy! A hundred thousand years of human evolution crumbling in the inconvenience of a checkout line. If there are stun gun fights and police beatings now, can you imagine the ensuing savagery when every Verifone and Casio machine goes haywire?
To be honest, I cannot wait for it. I'm hoping to see people running up and down Main streets across America, looking to mug the last person holding a flat screen.
I'll have enough supplies to last me a while. When those run out, or if the scene gets to be too much, I'll pack up and leave. Should be easier than most – I won't have too many things to worry about taking. That's a nice present to ask for.

I tend to make spelling mistakes when I type a search query, so Google's "did you mean...?" feature is really useful. But lately I've noticed that Google auto-corrects keywords from a query, without even asking. For example, if you search for [oper labs], all the top results include "opera labs", which is also highlighted in the title and the snippets.
From what I tried, Google is the only search engine that does that and, at least for this query, it does a pretty good job.

It was a moving scene at Dubose Middle School on Thursday as the Stand for the Silent program to stop bullying came to the school.
The hand sign for "I love you" is the adopted sign of SFTS and co-founder Kirk Smalley told the audience that it also stands for support. A majority of the children, many of whom were teary-eyed, held the sign in the air for the remainder of the presentation.
"God it's powerful," he said of the kids using the sign. "We've had football and basketball players holding up the sign and it all really means a lot."
Smalley and his wife Laura's 11-year-old son Ty was a victim of intense bullying in school. Smalley said that his son was beat up, called names and tortured until he got an afternoon phone call from his wife. Ty had retaliated against a bully, was suspended, and then took his own life on the floor of his parent's bedroom.
"Laura worked at his school and after Ty died she heard some kids still making fun of him after he died," an emotional Smalley told the stunned crowd. "A mother shouldn't have to hear those things about her baby that just died."
The Smalleys, natives of Perkins, Okla., handed out rubber bracelets to the crowd with the program's name engraved. In the last seven years, 55,000 American kids have committed suicide due to bullying and one in four kids will have a suicide plan before they graduate from high school Kirk told the audience.
The background on Kirk's phone is a picture of Ty; his phone is filled with dozens of them. The Smalleys have been to hundreds of schools and spoken to over 670,000 kids to raise awareness of the dangers of bullying.
"It's all about awareness and we not only need to get it out in the schools, but in the community," he said. "We shouldn't hate; hatred is lonely. Kids are smart and they get that."
An eighth grade girl from Texas coined the phrase "lmL" that resembles the hand symbol the program uses. She then spent six hours at the Oklahoma City Zoo teaching the hand sign to a gorilla who now greets visitors with the sign.
Country music singer Morgan Frazier recently partnered up with SFTS, performing her song "Hey Bully" after Kirk spoke.
"This cause is important to me because I got bullied growing up," she said. "When I saw their presentation on YouTube it really touched me and I had to help."
Frazier is currently on tour and will be in Hayward, Wis. on Friday. She has performed "Hey Bully" at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and hopes to visit more schools with the Smalleys. She believes that one reason for the harrowing statistics Kirk mentioned is a child's perception that they don't have support.
"I think that's why a lot of kids end their lives -- because they think they're alone. There are people they can talk to and resources online, they're not alone and they need to realize that."

Entrepreneurship @ Lubin
Pace University's Entrepreneurship program will be celebrating its 35th Anniversary
Entrepreneurship @ Lubin
Entrepreneurial Studies at the Lubin School
Entrepreneurship has been a fundamental orientation within the Lubin School curriculum, comprised of innovative courses specific to the entrepreneurial experience. Many of the faculty practitioners and scholars are or have been entrepreneurs themselves, in such fields as financial advising, tax consulting, marketing and communications, fundraising, and executive development. Many Pace University alumni are daughters and sons of entrepreneurial families. A large percentage of our graduates are first or second generation Americans, who are often attracted to self-employment and entrepreneurship. The significance of entrepreneurial studies is evidenced in the nationally accredited core curricula offered by the Lubin School and its curricular and co-curricular programs. The Lubin School is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the premier accrediting organization for business schools in the world.
Academic Programs in Entrepreneurship
On the undergraduate level, the Entrepreneurship concentration, which falls under the rubric of management, focuses on providing students with the skills that they need to initiate and manage business ventures, including developing new products, drafting a business plan, and forming and running a new business. Financial management, marketing, and human resource management with a small business setting focus are among the topics covered in entrepreneurship courses. Students also learn to analyze consumer and business trends and to use this information in planning and developing a new business venture.
Overall, Lubin's undergraduate programs assist students in developing skills and perspectives that typify successful management and professional practice. Our success is reflected in the national recognition that we have received for our BBA program.
A dramatic increase in the number of people who start small businesses has resulted in the creation of more jobs by entrepreneurs than from any other sector of the economy. The new entrepreneur must be comfortable with all facets of business development and must be able to turn an opportunity into a competitive advantage. With that in mind, on the MBA level, the Entrepreneurial Studies concentration covers all phases of the entrepreneurial experience, including the organizational, financial, marketing, and operating requirements for a new business venture. It focuses on factors and processes that are unique to the entrepreneurial environment.
It addresses both the growth phase and the problem phase of the small business development cycle, including the structural, organizational, and financial transformations required from start-up phase to successful corporation. The objective of this program is to give students the preparation needed to start and manage their own business.
The Pace University Entrepreneurship Lab, located at 163 William Street, not only gives students a chance to explore their entrepreneurial curiosities, but encourages them learn how to act on those ideas as well. Its atmosphere is meant to be fun, yet productive. Students choose to apply to the lab at their own will, keeping in mind however, that it is a place for relevant research and experimentation to take place. Resources will be made available to them, such as computer software and networking opportunities, as well as the help of staff and faculty members. The lab prides itself on being interactive, always evolving, and enabling students to make substantial gains towards their entrepreneurial endeavors.
International Field Study Courses
Pace's International Field Study courses offer a combination of classroom learning and international exploration to students electing to participate in them. In just the last few years, these courses have examined commercial and social entrepreneurship in Tanzania, technology innovation and entrepreneurship in Israel, and microfinance in India. Courses begin with classroom sessions and culminate in a journey to the country studied.
Pace hosts a multitude of entrepreneurship-focused events each year. Now in its tenth year, the Pace Pitch Contestrewards students who are able to best deliver a three minute "pitch" outlining their new venture concept, business model, and implementation plan. A panel of distinguished judges with real world entrepreneurial experience awards cash prizes to the students best able to communicate the merits of their business idea. The contest is open to students from all colleges and universities, and ideas for both profit and nonprofit companies may be presented. In the Pace Business Plan Competition, Pace students compete by submitting completed business plans including a viable business model, strategy, financial projections, and marketing plan. Another contest, the Pace Mobile App Design Contest, sees students design a concept for a mobile app and showcase it at an open exhibition.
In addition to its contests, Pace hosts a wide variety of guest speakers that address a broad range of entrepreneurship topics throughout each academic semester. Many of these talks are recorded and made available in our video library.
Small Business Development Center
In 1986, Pace University's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) was created to assist existing small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs. The SBDC is funded by Pace University and the U.S. Small Business Administration and is administered by the Research Foundation of the State University of New York. The Center was recently ranked 2nd out of 23 centers in New York State, as it provided almost 7,000 hours of counseling to over 1,000 new clients, which resulted in the creation or retention of 450 jobs and over $9 million of investment in 2003. After September 11, 2001, the SBDC worked diligently to secure recovery loans for small business owners affected by the attacks.
The Helene & Grant Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship
The Helene & Grant Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship was created in 2005 to serve the nonprofit community and Pace University. Devoted to honing the risk-taking spirit and managerial skills of nonprofit organizations, the center was launched with a pledge of $5 million from Helene and Grant Wilson, Boston-area entrepreneurs and philanthropists whose involvement with nonprofit organizations has convinced them that more-entrepreneurial management can help these organizations increase their impact.
Dating back to 1998, Pace's Entrepreneur in Residence program strives to bring together students and working entrepreneurs to integrate academic learning with real world experience.

Activity passes help seniors cheer on local studentsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Her four sons haven't donned a Perrysburg jersey for more than 30 years, but June Sweede can still regularly be found in the fan section
at school sporting events — especially the home football games at Steinecker Stadium.
Sweede, 78, of Perrysburg has a Senior Stinger Pass issued by Perrysburg Schools, which offers free admission to middle school and high school home regular season sporting events, plays and musicals for district residents age 60 and older.
Toledo Public Schools (TPS), Maumee City Schools, Springfield Local Schools and Washington Local Schools are among the other area districts that offer senior passes.
"I got one as soon as I was eligible," said Sweede, who has lived in Perrysburg for 45 years. "They made it very easy to receive it."
Although her children and grandchildren live outside of the district, Sweede said she enjoys going to school events to visit with old friends and support current students.
"It's just a nice thing for the school district to offer for folks," Sweede said. "Whether they're our own [children or grandchildren] or other people's, we want to encourage them all."
Football is her favorite, but Sweede also enjoys baseball, basketball and wrestling.
"I've really gone to all of them at one point," Sweede said. "Of course, the plays and musicals are absolutely wonderful, too and I get in on those when I can."
The passes are popular, said Rachel Johnson, coordinator of institutional advancement with Perrysburg Schools, which has issued the passes for more than 20 years.
"It's a great program," Johnson said. "Just in the last two weeks I've had three appointments from folks hearing about it and coming in. A lot of them are alumni or current grandparents, but it's open to anyone as long as they live in the district. They all love it."
The district organizes community events a couple times a year at senior housing facilities, senior centers or libraries to spread the word about the program.
"Pretty much whenever we hold an event out in the public, we get about 30 people signed up," Johnson said. "We do about one pass a week on average."
Sweede said she encourages other seniors to get their passes.
"They take very good care of the older folks," Sweede said. "There's special parking. You feel comfortable going to the games. Between good school friends, school officials and boosters, there's always someone there to watch out for you. You feel safe when you go to the events. I feel good about going. If you need it, there's quick help and lots of kindness. It's a good feeling."
TPS offers its Golden Apple Card to district residents 60 and older or retired TPS employees of any age.
"The biggest thing is when people come in when it's their grandson or granddaughter playing in a big game and they get to cheer them on," said TPS spokesperson Patty Mazur. "It's just a thing the district does to give back to the community."
The cards can't be used for all-star games, city championships, state tournament events or the Shoe Bowl. Admission to plays and musicals is decided by each school, Mazur said.
When filling out an application, seniors are also asked about their interest in volunteering.
"We're always looking for volunteers so that works out nicely," Mazur said. "We can pass it on to the principals."
Maumee City Schools has offered its Golden Panther Card for more than a decade, said district spokesperson Nancy Sayre.
"We do it to thank our community and encourage them to come out and support the students," Sayre said. "The kids who are participating love to have people in the stands and we love it. We have lots of grandparents who are residents. We love to have them come out and support our students.
"We get an excellent response from the community," she said. "The program is well-received and well-used."
Among those who regularly use their Golden Panther cards are Sayre's parents, Dave and Gail Lindsay, who have lived in Maumee for 45 years.
The Lindsays particularly enjoy attending track meets and volleyball and basketball games to watch their grandchildren. They occasionally go to football games with friends.
"It's wonderful to get to go to plays and athletic activities," Gail said. "There's just a whole lot of stuff that's available to us at no charge. It's great."
The cards are helpful for seniors on fixed incomes, Gail said.
"My granddaughter played volleyball twice a week. At $6 a game, $12 a week, $50 a month — that can add up," Gail said. "So it gives them a way to get out there rather than stay at home because they can't afford to do things. It also helps them realize how much the schools are doing for the kids. So it benefits the seniors and I think also helps the schools. I just wish more seniors knew about them."
For more information or to make an appointment to get a pass, contact Maumee City Schools at (419) 893-3200, Ext. 201; Perrysburg Schools at (419) 874-9131, Ext. 2156; Springfield Local Schools at (419) 867-5600; TPS at (419) 671-8263; or Washington Local Schools at (419) 473-8433.
Seniors will need to bring proof of age and proof of residence, such as a driver's license or other photo ID and a piece of mail with their address. In most cases, school staff will take their photo and produce a photo ID card while they wait. The passes are valid for life.
Editor's Note: Springfield Local Schools also offers Senior Sports Passes. The district was inadvertently omitted from the print version.

A better way to say 'thank you' to veterans
"Thank you for your service."
Even when it's not Veterans Day, we say that, don't we?
Most of us are prompted to express our gratitude when we see someone in uniform or wearing a cap that says "Vietnam" or "U.S.S. Nimitz" or perhaps simply "Semper Fi."
We should go out of our way to let our warriors know how appreciative we are to all of them, everybody who ever put on a uniform.
Listen, in the Army, my entire military career was as an entertainer with a special services group of singers and dancers that toured the United States and Europe. The closest I ever came to harm's way was a pair of tap shoes that didn't fit, yet even I have been thanked for my service -- often by others in the military -- for bringing a little fun into their lives and it always made me feel great.
But veterans these days many times need more than words of gratitude. How many of you would invite an active-duty service person to your home for a holiday dinner? Find out what needs their families might have? Or, best of all, offer a returning soldier a job?
You know, that would be a nice new way to say "thank you for your service."
I'm Pat McMahon.

LAUREL HILL — In what might have been a symbolic changing of the guard, Laurel Hill School sophomore Cameron Gordon hit a 3-point basket with 19 seconds left in Friday to give the Hoboes a 52-49 win over Rocky Bayou Christian School.
"Cameron Gordon, wow, he came off the bench there at the end and he stepped up," Hobo Coach Kent Zessin said. "He played JV all year and we just brought him up. He's one of my better shooters."
Prior to the game Josh Hartzog, Lane Strickland, Travis Johnson and William Rorech were honored in a Senior Night ceremony.
Rocky Bayou spent the next 32 minutes trying spoil the regular season home finale for the Hobo seniors.
Josh Bryant, Chris Matthews, Josh Preston and Kyle Wilson each scored for Rocky Bayou in the first five minutes of play. The only Laurel Hill points in the first five minutes came on a pair of Strickland free throws as the Knights jumped in front 8-2.
A Strickland dunk with 2:01 left in the quarter cut the Knight lead to 8-4. Laurel Hill (16-8) trailed by at least four points until late in the fourth quarter.
Zessin thought there were a number of factors that contributed to Laurel Hill's sluggish play including Senior Night and missing several days of practice because of the ice storm.
"It was a combination of everything," he said. It was just one of those nights. It's hard to explain.
'Our shooting percentage had to be under 20 for the night. We couldn't throw in the ocean in the first half. It could have gotten ugly, but the defense kept us in it.
The Hoboes were unable to wrestle the lead from the Knight, but Laurel Hill was stayed within striking distance.
Rocky Bayou pushed the lead to nine points on several occasions, but was unable to get the lead to double digits.
The Knights' lead was nine at 43-34 with 5:41 left in the game after free throw by Kyle Wilson.
A Hartzog free throw trimmed a point off the Rocky lead and triggered a 13-4 Hobo run.
Bryson Cooper scored on a layup on an assist from Hartzog after a steal and the Hoboes were off and running. Cooper, Hartzog, Strickland and Max Smith all scored during the run.
Tee Calloway hit two free throws with 1:48 left in the fourth quarter to give the Hoboes their first lead of the night at 49-48.
Twenty-one seconds later Bryant hit a free throw to tie the game at 49-49 setting up the heroics by Gordon.
Gordon's game-winning 3-pointer was the only shot from beyond the arch the Hoboes hit in the game.
As seniors Hartzog, Strickland Rorech and Johnson left the home court for the last time in the regular season Gordon showed why the future looks bright for the Hoboes.
Strickland led the Hoboes with 21 points. Cooper and Hartzog each scored nine. Smith had six points, Calloway four and Gordon three.
The Hoboes open play in the District 1-1A tournament at 7 p.m. Tuesday when they host Bethlehem.

Meshing: Cap off for Cap on
Niklas Rom | October 11, 2012
Oftentimes when you are working with devices with internal fluid flow, the imported CAD design represents the vessel material. The inside is plainly void. This may leave you clueless since it is inside where you want to create a volume mesh for the flow equations. How can you solve this meshing problem in COMSOL?
CAD design of a pipe for fluid flow analysis. Only the solid is present and meshable.
- If you are looking to mesh the inside of an internal fluid flow device, you will need to use the Cap Faces feature. This adds a lid to inlet/outlets orifices and fills the inside with a mesh automatically. The cap can be a curved surface if needed.
- Then select the bounding edges of the new cap.
- If you have capped both the inlet and outlet orifices, a volume mesh will be created inside the pipe.
Right click geometry and select Cap Faces.
Select the edges that are adjacent to the new cap.
The capped and filled geometry.

I didn't find this option of CAP FACES for COMSOL 4.3a as I Have tried the same for the similar geometry.

I think this is a CAD import module feature. Also, once used, the CAD import module license stays "checked out" each time this model is opened.
Bjorn Sjodin October 15, 2012 at 8:31 am
Yes, this is correct. To get this feature, you will need to have the CAD Import Module or one of the LiveLink products for CAD.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The depleted Los Angeles Lakers, with only nine players available, used a strong fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 112-98, on Friday.
Steve Nash had 19 points and five assists on his 40th birthday for the Lakers, who went 2-1 on a three-game road trip. Wesley Johnson and Chris Kaman each tallied 17 points, with Kaman also pulling down eight boards.
"I thought I could play well, I could contribute," Nash said. "At this point, I don't take anything for granted. It's a grind for me to get ready to play every day. I'm just thrilled I can move out there without restriction and help my team."
Ryan Kelly added 15 points and eight boards for Los Angeles, which shot 50.6 percent from the floor. Steve Blake and Jordan Hill donated 14 points apiece.
The Lakers were without the services of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Xavier Henry, Nick Young, Jodie Meeks and Jordan Farmar.
Tony Wroten ended with 16 points for the Sixers, who have lost seven in a row at home for the first time since a 12-game drought during the 1996-97 season. Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner each tallied 15 points, with Hawes also grabbing 11 rebounds.
James Anderson and Elliot Williams had 12 and 11 points, respectively, for the Sixers, who have lost five in a row overall.
"It appears we play better on the road," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "Everybody wants to do better in our city, in front of our fans."
Wroten's 62-footer at the third-quarter buzzer got the Sixers within 87-85.
Philadelphia cut its deficit to one, 91-90, on Wroten's slam with 10:04 to play, but the Lakers responded with a 10-0 run. Kaman tallied six points during the spurt that Hill capped with a free throw for a 101-90 edge.
The 76ers never got closer than eight the rest of the way.
Philadelphia led by as many as nine in the first quarter and took a 35-26 lead into the second.
Blake ended the second period with consecutive 3-pointers to get Los Angeles within 64-61.
The Lakers took a two-point lead after a third stanza that featured five lead changes and one tie.
Los Angeles is 6-1 in its last seven trips to the City of Brotherly Love ...
Philadelphia last won at home on Jan. 15 against the Bobcats ... The Sixers
shot 42.5 percent from the field and went 15-of-32 from beyond the arc ...
Philadelphia turned the ball over 23 times, leading to 21 Los Angeles points
... The Lakers outscored the 76ers by a 25-13 margin in the fourth quarter.

Here's a handy all-in-one socket set compact enough to wear on your belt. But don't get the idea this is a stripped-down set. You get Phillips, slotted, hex, Torx®, SAE and metric sockets. The 1⁄4" drive ratchet driver has a tilting head that locks in three functional positions. And ratchet override lets you use it as a nut driver too. Durable steel construction stands up to hard use, with a comfortable rubber grip lets you pour on the power.

Best Uses
This is a must have tool.
My Lead Tech brought me one back from an out of town job. Five minutes with it on my next job and I bought them for the whole crew.
It's compact, lightweight and fits anywhere.
Great for Emergency Kits, spare in the truck or Save A Dive Kit.
Best Uses
Seems pretty well made, the gearing is tight, minimal play.
A great emergency tool that I keep in the car.
Best Uses
If you need a compact carry tool kit, try it out.
Best Uses
It's very handy,good for all types of angles.Good for tight spots.Light weight.
Light mechanical work.The ONLY problem with this tool is that the fwd/rev ring
does not have enough tension on it. It changes direction if you hit the ring/ collar when
you use it.Wish I had one years ago.
Best Uses
I already have most of these tools in my workshop, but having an extra set in the kitchen or mudroom is really really handy. Totally worth it.q
Best Uses
I have a large Sears set of sockets, quite complete, except doesn't have a spark plug socket. In another tool bag I keep tools to repair and disassemble for repair and recycling purposes. When the need arose to use the sockets I did not relish getting the Sears sockets out or carrying the tool bag and the large Sears socket set. Then I saw the Duluth set that would fit nicely in my smaller tool bag and this would allow me to carry the tool bag with a socket set capability. Always trying to refine the "versatile" smaller tool bag and the Duluth ratchet subset works great for me in that respect.

Pittsburg county voter expressed GOP senate candidate Larry Boggs angered him because he felt Boggs lied about Obama's would abolish 2nd amendment rights if relected. And that Boggs tried to make a connection between the 2. This voter said that Obama does not have the power to abolish the 2nd amendment. He added that Mr. Boggs was a "radical right wing republican" doing a red herring.
When asked if he would vote for Boggs, needless to say he replied no. The lady sitting next to him responded that they would also be voting for Obama.
Larry Boggs is the republican nominee seeking election to the Oklahoma Senate District 7 that is being vacated by Richard C. Lerblance (democrat). His opponent is J. Paul Lane, the democratic nominee. Election is November 6, 2012.
This political candidate forum sponsored by Mcalester News, in Mcalester, Oklahoma. This event was held on Oct 16, 2012 at 6pm at the Kiamichi Center in Mcalester. Approximately 200 people attended.

The past couple weeks we've given ideas and tips about costumes to make this Halloween absolutely boo-tiful, but today we want to talk about some costume ideas for you and your friendz! Halloween is such a fun time of the year, why not make it even more fun and coordinate outfits? Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha and I were hanging one day and exchanging ideas about group costumes. Here are a few of my favorite suggestions that the girlz had –
Cloe thought it'd be super fun if we all dressed up as some of the U.S Women's soccer team players. Those ladies are super fierce and confident! They even won the gold medal this year at the Olympics in London. Talk about super stars! The costume would be really easy to create. All a gal needs is some black or blue athletic shorts, a soccer jersey shirt, some knee high socks, and athletic shoes. Finish off the look by carrying around a soccer ball. Get in the spirit and wear red, white and blue so everyone knows who you are! Cloe called dibs on Alex Morgan. Which player would you be?
Jade got all science on us Bratz and said we should be mad scientists. LOL! The outfits (as Kool Kat told us) would be a cinch to create and we're guaranteed to be the koolest science girlz on the block! Start the costume out with your everyday clothes, add a white lab coat, and carry around some beakers filled with colored water (use food coloring). Next, pull up your hair in a ponytail but try to make it as messy as you can. That's how you get the "mad" part of the scientist.
Sasha was creative with her idea and suggested we all be a swarm of busy bees. Get it? It's because Sasha is a busy bee! There are plenty of bee costumes at stores to buy, or you can make your own from home. Grab a yellow shirt and stripe it with black electrical tape to create the bees' body. You can do the same with the shorts, or just wear a pair of black shorts. Wings and antennas are the final touch and your swarm is ready to hit the streets in search of honey candy!
What would you and your friends dress up as? Share your ideas with us in the comments!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Louisville, Ky., for the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic Saturday morning at the E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park, home of the 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships. The event is hosted by the Louisville Sports Commission and will feature Division I teams from various regions.
The Mocs will participate in the Gold Division that starts off at 9:30 a.m. The event will feature 33 teams including Southern Conference foes Davidson, Elon and Samford.

Seniors Lucas Cotter (Collierville, Tenn.) and Mark Cole (McKenzie, Tenn.) will lead the Mocs on the course with Paul Stuart (Brentwood, Tenn.) and Trevor Janssen (Jordan Station, Ontario) along with John Gilpin (Nashville, Tenn.) providing depth to a team that finished sixth in the NCAA region last fall.

Results, provided by All Trax Timing will be available through a link at GoMocs.com on the cross country schedule page.

The internet is a crowded place with lots of action sports videos. Two Berlin based kitesurfers found a way to stand out. We talked with them about escaping everyday life and a winterly bikini scene.
CN: Hello Patrick, hello Sebastian! The fact that your movie not only has kite action but also tells a story, really fascinated us. What is your movie about?
Patrick: A sad, unhappy Berlin Bear has a dead-end job. Every day he stands at Alexanderplatz working as a marketer, sweating and being laughed at. One morning he oversleeps, rushes to work but is still fired. On the way home, sad and desperate, he sees a CORE Kiteboarding ad. Inspired he gets on his moped and makes his way to the Baltic Sea where he kites his troubles away. At the end he discards his old persona (the Bear costume) and walks towards a better future with two beautiful bikini clad woman at his side.
CN: How did you get to this idea and what are you trying to say?
Sebastian: Firstly we wanted to make kite videos together. So on a grey Sunday afternoon in Berlin we sat down together and started brainstorming: The story should be funny, but should also reflect our fascination and sacrifice for the sport. It should include all the things that can distract us from kiting like work and everyday life. There is nothing better than packing up on a Friday evening, leaving everything behind and driving to the Baltic Sea and kiting your heart out. It was important for us to illustrate that especially in stressful times one should not forget kiting. At one point Patrick came up with the idea of the bear, which we then tracked down and purchased on ebay. We couldn't wait to get the bear out onto the water.
CN: The fact that part of the film was shot in Berlin is probably obvious for most people – with the scenes of Alexanderplatz. Where was the kiting filmed?
Sebastian: Exactly, we started off shooting in Berlin at the beginning of June. It was over 30 degrees and to say that Patrick, in his Bear costume, had a warm day is an understatement.
Patrick: The Kiting was filmed in July in Mönchgut on Rügen near Thiessow. After the costume shots we had a really good session on the water. We had one problem: There was a perfect, empty flat-water spot but no girls for the final scene. Sebastian had a motorbike tour in Morocco and I had school stress and as a result we only shot the final scene in November. I phoned two girlfriends, on a sunny day, and after a few hours we had completed the final scene at the Müggelsee in Berlin. Even though it was very cold the girls were extremely brave and persevered to the end.
CN: What's it like kiting in a costume?
Patrick: Pretty heavy. We knew that the costume would soak up water, like a sponge, when we fell; and that is exactly what happened – I was kiting with an extra 20kg. The most difficult aspect was the limited visibility, which meant I had to hold back a lot. The fun factor was however over the top and we soon had a lot of spectators on the beach. It won't be the last time we see Bears on the water.
CN: The video is really professionally made. Are your filming and editing skills self-taught or did you have outside assistance?
Sebastian: No, we didn't have any outside assistance. I have been an editor for many years and have my own editing company, where we produce trailers for TV. When Patrick and I met he had already acquired a lot of knowledge and it was clear to us that we wanted to create our ideas together.
CN: Thanks for the interview.
Life is a journey. Kiteboarding has taken us to the best spots on the planet and allowed us to get to know the local kiters from all corners of the globe. At the same time we have been able to delve into the technology behind the products that we use on a daily basis and catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the kite industry. There are many interesting characters behind the products and it became clear to us, that CORE is not only made up of a team from the Fehmarn Island but instead is made up of people from the world's beaches. Therefore we became a part of something much bigger.
The idea behind our web-experiment CoreNation is to allow us to share our experiences with you. We want to take you with us on our journeys and share our adventures, experiences and our daily work with you. Enjoy!
