$3.3 Million in Trails Grants Awarded by TPW Commission
SAN ANTONIO — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission on Aug. 26 approved approximately $3.3 million for 23 National Recreational Trail Grant projects in communities across the state, as well as in 8 state parks and a wildlife management area. Included in the funding amount was $25,000 awarded to Texas 4-H for an All-Terrain-Vehicle safety program.
The National Recreational Trails Fund comes from a portion of the federal gas tax generated by the sale of gasoline for use in off-road recreational vehicles such as dirt bikes and ATVs. Money from the trail fund goes toward the creation and maintenance of motorized and non-motorized recreational trails.
The Federal Highway Administration manages the fund and distributes portions of it to states based on a formula that takes into account the state's population and fuel sales for off-road vehicles.
The program provides 80-20 matching grants, so that in each case the grant recipient must pay for 20 percent of the total project cost. Dollar amounts shown below are 80 percent of the project cost.
The 10-member Texas Statewide Trails Advisory Board reviewed the proposals and developed a list of recommended projects for funding based on the quality of the project, its cost effectiveness, its impact on recreational trail opportunities and geographic distribution of funds.
A number of recreational trail grant projects funded in previous years were completed under budget and two projects were cancelled, resulting in the availability of $485,000 that was awarded to fund trail improvements in eight state parks and the Chapparal WMA. State parks that will receive grant monies are: Bastrop, Caprock Canyons, Cooper Lake, Huntsville, Lake Brownwood, Meridian, Seminole Canyon and Tyler.

Angelina County — U. S. Forest Service, $560,000 to plan and build a new, 15-mile motorized trail system with bridges and signs in Angelina Sabine National Forest.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Even a coach who loves passing as much as Steve Spurrier knows there are times his South Carolina team must run the ball to win games.
The sixth-ranked Gamecocks discovered that Saturday night against Kentucky.
Trailing 17-7 at halftime and held to just 26 yards on the ground, South Carolina outrushed Kentucky 174-7 in the second half and scored 31 unanswered points for a 38-17 victory.

|Related links
|More college football coverage
Marcus Lattimore rushed 23 times for 120 yards and two second-half touchdowns and Kenny Miles added a 17-yard run as the Gamecocks (5-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) scored on five of six possessions. They also moved into a tie with Florida and Georgia atop the East division, with the Bulldogs coming to Columbia, S.C., next week.
"We knew as a team that we had to establish the run," said Lattimore, who had five carries in the first half.
"We worked on our power play and had some success. ... I wasn't frustrated at all. We just had to run the ball a little more.
Connor Shaw chipped 76 yards on 19 carries along with passing for 148 yards and two scores, including a 30-yarder to Damiere Byrd that awoke the Gamecocks from a sluggish first half.
Kentucky (1-4, 0-2) outplayed South Carolina the first 30 minutes despite losing quarterback Maxwell Smith on the first series with an ankle injury. Smith, returning after missing last week's Florida loss with a separated shoulder, was replaced by freshman Jalen Whitlow.
He got the Wildcats going with 8-yard touchdown run and Raymond Sanders added a 10-yard score, and for a while it looked as if they would pull another upset at Commonwealth Stadium. Kentucky won the last meeting here 31-28 with 21 unanswered points.
Instead, the Wildcats totaled just 65 second-half yards and were outgained 348-243. Whitlow was intercepted twice and sacked six times, including four in the second half.
"I was holding the ball too much," said Whitlow, who finished 12 of 23 for 114 yards. "We got some sacks and interceptions."
Before that South Carolina got little, Spurrier's frustrations was obvious as he walked off the field. But the leaders did all the talking for him in the locker room.
"Our guys really had a good look in their eyes, nobody was pouting," said Spurrier, off to his first 5-0 start as Gamecocks coach. "Maybe we learned something about ourselves as we go forward."
Byrd's touchdown catch seemed to jump-start South Carolina, which went ahead to stay on Miles' TD.
"We had a lot of missed opportunities," Byrd said, "but we were able to take advantage in the second half."
Smith was tackled low by Byron Jerideau. His cleats appeared to be caught in the turf and he immediately grabbed his left ankle, lying on the field for several moments before heading to the bench.
Trainers taped the ankle and he tried to walk on it before heading to the locker room for X-rays.
That again forced Whitlow into an emergency situation but the difference this time was the freshman's weeklong preparation.
It didn't show immediately as he was quickly sacked after replacing Smith, but after the defense twice denied Shaw on two runs at the 1, Whitlow made the work pay off.
Kentucky went 94 yards in 16 plays, helped by Raymond Sanders' 28-yard run and two by Jonathan George for 25 yards. Whitlow, with great protection, chipped in a 20-yard pass to DeMarco Robinson before Sanders got the Wildcats down to the 5 and settled for Craig McIntosh's 22-yard field goal and an early lead.
South Carolina eventually regrouped to lead 7-3 as Shaw led a 64-yard drive helped by his 37-yard pass to a wide-open Ace Sanders, who added a 3-yard touchdown reception two plays later.
Kentucky scored on its next two drives covering 67 and 34 yards, the latter of which was set up by its special teams as Daron Blaylock leaped over the protection to block Tyler Hull's punt that A.J. Legree recovered.
Whitlow's passing and running got the Wildcats a 10-7 lead, connecting with Legree twice for 26 yards followed by two runs covering the final 12, including an 8-yard scoring scramble.
Raymond Sanders' 10-yard run made it 17-7 with 1:52 left in the half.
The Wildcats got another scoring opportunity just before halftime when a snap sailed over Shaw's head and was recovered by Taylor Wyndham at the 10. It failed when Whitlow was stripped of the ball, and despite Kentucky's recovering the ball at the 3, the clock ran out before it could run a play.
That turnover summed up an out-of-sync first half for South Carolina, which began when Bruce Elllington dropped Shaw's first pass. There went his quest to match Tee Martin's SEC record of 23 consecutive completions, and little improved afterward for the Gamecocks.
"I sat back too long and maybe (it was) receivers not getting open," Shaw said.
They were outgained 173-108, as the Wildcats limited Shaw's passing and running. He was also sacked twice and South Carolina punted twice.
The Gamecocks came out more focused and physical in the third quarter and wasted little time taking the lead. Shaw hit Byrd in the back of the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown to close within 14-17, and Miles put South Carolina ahead on the next possession.
"Coming out in the second half, we knew that we didn't have a good first half," Gamecocks defensive end Devin Taylor said. "Our whole plan was to come with the intensity that we didn't show."

Q. Can one apply electroless nickel over a tungsten metal matrix? S.T.
A. There are a couple of different procedures for doing this that are found in the plating literature. One such procedure is outlined in the book Electroless Plating – Fundamentals and Applications (1990), edited by Glenn O. Mallory and Juan B. Hadju.
The general procedure is as follows:
- Alkaline potassium ferrocyanide soak, 215 g/L in 75 g/L potassium hydroxide, room temperature, for one min.
- Rinse.
- Boil in 10 percent potassium hydroxide for 10 min.
- Rinse.
- Dip in 10 percent hydrochloric acid for 30 sec.
- Rinse.
- Activate with palladium chloride (0.1–0.5 g/L in 1–3 mL/L hydrochloric acid).*
- Rinse.
- Electroless nickel plate.

Campaigners have hailed an announcement that Otley's Black Horse Hotel could be re-opened in time for the Tour de France.
Otley Pub Club recently wrote to the head of owners Enterprise Inns to stress the need for the business to be trading again for the once-in-a-lifetime race.
The hotel holds a prominent position in the town centre and, standing on Westgate's corner with Kirkgate, looks out directly onto the route the Tour riders will be taking.
But the currently shut Black Horse has been closed several times in recent years, prompting some – including MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) to fear that the empty building could "blight" the cycling celebrations on Saturday, July 5.
Enterprise Inns' chief executive officer Simon Townsend, however, has now confirmed that the company is committed to getting the place trading again in time for both Le Tour and the preceding Otley Cycle Races.
In a letter to Otley Pub Club, he said: "The local management team are actively recruiting for the Black Horse and are already in discussions with a number of interested applicants.
"Enterprise shares the same desire for the Black Horse to be open and fully trading in time for the Otley Cycle Races and the Tour de France, as the site is indeed extremely well located for both events.
"Furthermore, we realise the importance of the Black Horse to Otley and are seeking a committed individual who will establish this public house as the heart of the community."
The pub club's chairman, Andy FitzGerald, said: "We welcome the undertaking from Enterprise Inns to strive to have the Black Horse open for both the cycle races and the Tour de France.
"We agree that the Black Horse is ideally sited and should be opened again as soon as possible.
"It is pleasing to note that Enterprise Inns acknowledge the importance of the Black Horse to Otley. I hope they can either re-open it as soon as possible or sell it to a company that can open it and run it successfully."
Mr Mulholland added: "It is good that Enterprise Inns have now publicly pledged to have the Black Horse Hotel, which is on the Tour de France route, open for this historic event.
"Congratulations to Otley Pub Club for securing this clear commitment. Enterprise must now ensure this happens.
"As Otley's only town centre hotel and a landmark building, the Black Horse must be open and I am sure will be fully booked.
"The Tour de France is a once- in-a-lifetime event for Otley, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Arthington and all the places along the route and the many visitors and cycling fans will receive a warm Yorkshire welcome to this part of Wharfedale."
This year's Otley Cycle Races take place on Wednesday, July 2 - just three days before the Tour de France passes through town.

"21 and Over" is basically "The Hangover" but younger. The first-time directing duo of Scott Moore and Jon Lucas penned both scripts, which explains their urge to recapture the success of that earlier blockbuster. But how can a couple of screenwriters outdo the scenario of inebriated friends stealing Mike Tyson's pet tiger?
Moore and Lucas try mightily, if sloppily, while essentially painting by numbers.
Here, the cause for partying is the 21st birthday of Jeff Chang (Justin Chon). His best friends from childhood surprise him at college with a plan for debauchery. The only kink is that Jeff has — no, not a wedding — a med school interview the following morning and doesn't want to incur the wrath of his domineering father by showing up with the shakes. Fast-talking aspiring alcoholic Miller (Miles Teller), however, won't take no for an answer. And while the far more reasonable Casey (Skylar Astin) senses danger, he goes along for the ride.
Somewhere between that first beer and Jeff's 7 a.m. appointment with Dad, countless outlandish misadventures unfold. A dart hits its bull's-eye on an angry barbarian's cheek, a runaway buffalo tramples a crowd and one series of events leaves Miller and Casey naked — with the exception of well-placed tube socks — and branded with Greek letters. The movie gets the dubious honor of containing one of filmmaking's most artful vomiting scenes, when Jeff spews the contents of his stomach in slo-mo while riding a mechanical bull.
The dialogue and sight gags can be hilarious, which makes the writers' insistence on racist jokes and mindless raunch all the more dismal. But despite an overload of plot points and some seriously base material, the actors seem like three young talents to watch. It says something that Teller can infuse his idiotic bully of a character with some heart.
Amid the quarters and keg stands, the movie actually tackles a deeper message about finding one's true self and the sometimes unfortunate reality of lifelong friendships. The result is a jampacked agenda with so much going on that little is done well.
(93 minutes at area theaters) is rated R for crude language, nudity, sexual situations, drugs, drinking and some squirm-inducing bodily harm.

IT is three years since Owen Coyle walked through the Reebok doors beating the drum for home-grown talent – but will his successor be the one to finally make good on his promise?
Thanks to the hard work of Jimmy Phillips and the like at Lostock, the Eddie Davies Football Academy was recently awarded the prestigious Grade One status by the Football Association, which should enable the club to continue competing for the cream of the North West's crop for the next few years at least.
The award is the fruit of three years of planning and restructuring at the £3million facility, and no little amount of pressure.
If there has been one criticism of the Academy since it opened its doors officially in 2008, it is that the number of youngsters actually making the grade has been a fairly poor return for the estimated £1m-a-year it costs to run.
Coyle was certainly hoping the academy would deliver when he first arrived, pledging to bring back the local feel of the team and making no secret of the fact that Phillips and Co were expected to live up to their end of the bargain.
A challenge was laid down – and the likes of Joe Riley, Josh Vela, Adam Blakeman, Mark Connolly, Michael O'Halloran, Rob Lainton and Jay Lynch were very publicly fast-tracked into the reckoning.
Yet their actual chances out on the field were few and far between.
Injury may have played its part for Riley and Vela in particular but to most fans, the best view they got of the next generation was on a windy Tuesday night at Leyland.
On Saturday against Sunderland, Dougie Freedman drafted Riley into his starting line up for the first time – even though the full-back would again fall victim to an appallingly unlucky foot injury.
There was also a substitute bench appearance for highly-rated winger Chris Lester, while Sami Odelusi, Tom Eaves and Zach Clough have also been mixing freely with the senior stars in order to prepare themselves for action.
David Lee and Tony Kelly's magnificent Under-18s are living proof that the layer of talent just under the surface of the first team is looking very rosy indeed – with Clough's goal record a particular source of encouragement.
And you might argue there is no better man to have in the hotseat than one who has already shown a knack for bringing talent through the ranks at Crystal Palace.
With Coyle, it seemed that circumstance would often obstruct his intentions to bring younger players into the mix. Premier League football – and particularly that at the wrong end – is a harsh environment in which to learn.
As Wanderers head into the first league game in January well off the promotion pace, you wonder whether that could work in Freedman's favour as he, too, looks to formulate a longer-term vision for the club, which will inevitably carry with it a lower wage bill.
Vela's return in the Under-21s last night was a big step, and, had the young Salfordian not picked up a bad knee injury against Crawley Town in the League Cup back in September, then he may well have been a fixture and fitting of the team Freedman took over.
The 19-year-old has the spirit and stomach for Championship football but the manager has been careful not to place too much pressure on him as he makes his return.
"I wouldn't encourage building young players up but he's certainly made a big impression on us since coming back to training," Freedman said. "I can understand why people rate him highly. He's a young man with all the right ingredients to be a good player for this club. He comes with a certain hunger, which is needed.
"He needs to learn the game, of course, but those ingredients can get you a long way."
Riley also did himself no harm before hobbling off against Sunderland, and judging by his manager's encouragement, it might not be long before he gets another opportunity.
Lynch has deputised well for Adam Bogdan in recent months, while fellow keeper Lainton has also beaten a year of injury issues to stake his claim.
Plenty has been said about Eaves – who memorably scored a hat-trick against Wanderers playing for Oldham shortly before signing for the club – but the success of his recent spell at Bristol Rovers indicates that he, too, could force his way in.
Unlike Coyle, Freedman has yet to make any bold statements on his plan of action but his managerial record suggests he is willing to give youth a chance.
The appearances of Riley and Lester last weekend could be the start of a very different direction for the Whites.

This action was in response to customer reports of Newport HT70 and HT70 Plus ventilators alarming and going to internal backup battery sooner than expected while the ventilator is being operated on Power Pac battery. These conditions have been reported in two types of situations. In the first situation, the screen on the Newport HT70 or HT70 Plus ventilator may indicate that the Power Pac battery is fully charged when it is not. In the second situation, the unit may switch to the backup battery as soon as it is removed from AC power.
In both situations, the ventilator's alarm sounds and the ventilator will continue to function on the internal backup battery for at least 30 minutes. There is a reasonable likelihood of serious adverse health consequences if these issues occur when the user is away from AC power (including during transport) and an alternate source of power cannot be made available before the charge on the internal battery is depleted. Therefore, although no adverse consequences have been reported in connection with these issues, users should ensure that alternate sources of power, including required power cords, are available nearby until this issue is resolved. As is common standard clinical practice, alternate means of supporting ventilation should always be available.
Power Pac batteries with Serial Numbers between 2096134110001 and 2292048120050 must be replaced. Affected batteries were distributed within and outside the United States. Anyone who has Power Pac batteries for Newport HT70 and HT70 Plus ventilators, including distributors, healthcare providers and home users, is instructed to immediately check their Newport HT70 and HT70 Plus ventilators and related Power Pac batteries to determine the serial numbers. Customers whose Power Pac serial numbers fall within the above range should contact the Newport Medical Technical Support Department to request replacement batteries, which will be provided at no charge. Contact information for the department can be found below. If you purchased or obtained the Newport HT70 / HT70 Plus ventilator or Power Pac battery from a distributor or healthcare provider, please contact them directly for instructions on obtaining a replacement Power Pac battery.
Covidien alerted its customers of the recall by letter on April 4, 2013, and provided instructions for obtaining replacement Power Pac batteries. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory bodies have been notified of this recall.
To request the replacement Power Pac batteries, please contact the distributor or healthcare provider from whom you obtained the unit. If you obtained the affected unit directly from Newport Medical, please contact the Newport Medical Technical Support Department:
(800) 451-3111, ext. 500 for U.S. customers
(714) 427-5811, ext. 500 for international customers.

Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Fall 2012 Couture
With a pleasing symmetry, the first days of Paris fall 2012 haute couture opened with a Belgian (the exquisite rigor and palpable femininity of Raf Simons's debut at Christian Dior on Monday) and the week closed with a Belgian (Maison Martin Margiela, in different, if no less strong, form). Of course, unlike the intense level of scrutiny heaped on Simons's head, there is none of that at Margiela. There can't be. The enigmatic founder of the house left several years ago, finally fulfilling after all those faxed responses to journalists' questions that were answered with a collective "we" instead of a singular "me." If the responsibility for the Margiela "artisanal" collection resides with a sole designer or a team, who on earth knows? In that respect, some element of mystery lingers. Suffice it to say, though, something is definitely going right at the house because presenting wittily arch and intriguing concepts about couture's artisan customs and traditions with Martin Margiela, the master of those hijinks, long gone, is pretty darn daring. And regardless of who's pulling the strings—or, as we saw here, turning the baseball gloves into a jacket—this was a strong and inventive presentation. And one with just fifteen looks at that, and all shown with crystal-encrusted face masks, the week's wildest take on the veiling-the-face trend.
Margiela (the man, that is) had been since 1988 making use of whatever objects he ran across and could rework and revitalize, and there was some of that controlled randomness in this collection; disparate elements coming together to make a satisfying whole. In this particular case, that meant: the aforementioned mitts, cut down and stitched into a couple of pieces (a sleeveless jacket, a short dress) that molded to the body; fin-de-siècle tailoring rendered in calico and fastened with Edwardian crystal bed knobs that were very objet trouvé in spirit; a gorgeous passage of casually layered but complexly constructed looks that involved different early-1900s lace and embroideries pieced together; and, the standout (for this writer a least), an absolutely gorgeous long coat made of Art Nouveau–era vegetal silk that looked as if Poiret had made one of those big-in-the-eighties MA-1 flight jackets. With its romantic linking of the rawness of the street and the reverence for the beauty of the past, that elongated bomber was pure Margiela.

This is awesome. I always wondered why mine kept cutting out so hopefully this will fix it. I wasn't even searching for this so thank you for posting it
Having installed backtrack a year or so ago, i always had an issue with my external wireless adapterThe problem was that after i had successfully connected to my network, after a minute or so the connection would just completely drop.. but it would still tell me that i was connected to the network.Alfa AWUS036H
I have now found a 'Permanent' fix for this issue:
Firstly, make sure your Alfa AWUS036H is connected to your pc/laptop.
Now open a new terminal and type the following:
or wlan0, whichever your card is on. use "ifconfig -a" to find outCode:ifconfig wlan1 down
Then type:
This sets the country code to boliva so you can use the alfa card in max power.Code:iw reg set BO
Then type:
This sets your card to 30db which is the max power the card usesCode:iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30
Then type:
This should fix the connection drop or very slow internet problem [main issue for me]Code:iwconfig wlan1 rate 1M
Now you are almost done, just type the following:
Now just open your network manager and connect to your network and the problem should be fixed.Code:ifconfig wlan1 up
This is awesome. I always wondered why mine kept cutting out so hopefully this will fix it. I wasn't even searching for this so thank you for posting it
Just using iwconfig to set your rate, it will revert after rebooting.
You can add the line to your /etc/rc.local to make it run every reboot though.
I prefer to use something like:
which is "normal auto-rate up to 18M"Code:iwconfig wlan1 rate 18M AUTO
There are a few other things that can help with unstable/low quality connections...
namely setting RTS & fragmentation threshold (default 2300ish) to 512 or lower to force smaller packet sizes (down to as low as 256). With this you could get stable at much higher data rates than before.
Overall, I start with this to my /etc/rc.local & tweak occasionally til it's rock stable.
Code:iwconfig wlan1 rate 36M auto iwconfig wlan1 frag 512 iwconfig wlan1 rts 512
I have the same problem with the alfa. I bought it because the vendor told me it was the best and working out of the box in linux
Now I can't really make it work (since months) under Ubu, Mint and Fedora. Also in Puppy, that usually "just works". Same, well known problem.
I tried everything I found (and I found a lot), and just TODAY what seems to work is to disable wifi (any way), than
sudo modprobe rtl8187
to check driver it's up and running, than
sudo iwconfig wlan1 rate auto
The result is been working for three hours, but it's very slow, and I don't know what will happen after the next reboot.
What SEEMS to me is that this antenna made quite a name some kernel version ago, than....something happened.
I have already mapped half the town I live in, so I just need decent and reliable browse and download.
Does anybody know which was THE LAST WORKING KERNEL with this damn antenna?
I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to downgrade.

Considered one of Arthur Miller's most personal plays, After the Fall is the portrait of a man on a quest to make peace with his own history, struggling with the choices he has made in his life. While the characters in the play are fictional, much of the story is based on Miller's tumultuous relationship with his second wife, Marilyn Monroe. Arthur Miller takes us on a fascinating journey through the inner psyche, exploring how each of us must learn to live, love and survive in our own way, "after the fall."

Three Track System
BYU-Idaho operates year-round with three distinct 14-week semesters: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Each student is admitted to a track consisting of two semesters: Fall/Winter, Winter/Spring, or Spring/Fall. Students can enroll in classes only for the two semesters of their assigned track and remain on the same track for the duration of their time at BYU-Idaho.
During the application process, applicants are asked to indicate the first semester they are available to attend the university. Students may be assigned to any of the three tracks. Some students will be assigned to begin in the second semester of a track (example: assigned Spring/Fall track starting in the Fall). Others may be admitted to start in a semester other than the first available semester indicated (example: available Fall, assigned Winter/Spring track starting in the Winter).
|Start Date
|End Date
|Summer Session
The Three Track System allows BYU-Idaho to admit thousands of additional students each year. The campus serves about 15,000 students in a semester and over 20,000 students over the course of a calendar year. Each student has the opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree in four years by attending two semesters per year.
The Three Track System also helps BYU-Idaho make better use of sacred university resources. By utilizing campus facilities year-round, the relative cost per student is reduced. Faculty and staff serve student needs throughout the year, providing an equivalent experience on all tracks.
Track Decision Process
As part of the admission process, BYU-Idaho students are assigned to a specific track that remains permanent through graduation. Track assignments are carefully considered, with the goal of enrolling a balanced and varied student body across all three semesters. The university is committed to providing numerous opportunities to students who come from a variety of backgrounds and share values based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through this commitment, the university fulfills its mission to provide an educational experience of continually increasing quality.
To further enhance the effectiveness of the Three Track System, BYU-Idaho has introduced a two-stage procedure for admission and track assignments:
- Step 1:
Prospective students submit a formal application that screens for admissibility. The Admissions Committee reviews each application. If the applicant is accepted, an offer is extended to attend BYU-Idaho.
- Step 2:
Admitted students then complete a questionnaire that gathers additional personal information to help determine appropriate track assignments. At the same time, the university carefully considers when these students are needed most on campus in order to enroll a balanced and varied student body across all three semesters. Once all the information is individually reviewed, a track assignment is made.
This two-stage process provides the essential balance BYU-Idaho is trying to achieve. Students and employees will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from others with differing geographic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. The university is committed to providing numerous opportunities to students who come from a variety of backgrounds and share values based on the gospel of Jesus Christ. This will create the distinctive learning environment that is integral to the BYU-Idaho experience.

Oklahoma Christian University is a distinctly Christian community of higher learning and higher calling, valuing faith, scholarship, integrity, stewardship, liberty and leadership.
The University affirms that God exists, that He is the author and sustainer of our lives, that the Bible is the inspired revelation of God's will, and that He has manifested His love, His power, and His grace in the incarnation of Jesus, the Christ. OC's Christian worldview, grounded in a humble and honest search for truth, is integral to and nurtures every discipline and every activity. It is faith that opens the mind to the consideration of ultimate truths and empowers the quest for goodness. The spirit of Christ transforms members of the University community for lives of faith, purpose, resilience, service, relationship, and love of all humankind. The University cherishes its vital relationship with the founding fellowship of the churches of Christ, while also welcoming and nurturing students from various walks of faith.
The University affirms that God is the author of, and sovereign over, all creation; that truth has nothing to fear from honest inquiry; that ideas can and should be examined openly and respectfully; that reason is a gift of God; and that faith and learning are inseparable. The University cherishes and cultivates the mind to discover the truths of God's world and, therefore, encourages excellence, diligence, critical thinking, and creativity in all scholarly endeavors. The University is committed to a strong liberal arts core at the heart of the curriculum and to excellent professional preparation in all offered academic disciplines.
The University affirms that, absent integrity, all other values lose their power for transformation and for goodness. Integrity demands vigilant and undivided devotion to truth, honesty, genuineness, transparency, and wholeness, as well as commitment and strength to act upon truth as it is discovered. Integrity is not solely a matter of the intellect, but encompasses development of the whole person—mind, soul, and body—and requires a climate of civility and respect for all people and their search for truth.
The University affirms that God is the source of all its human, financial, and physical resources that His servants and providence have made available to the University to use prudently to further its mission. Because the University community reflects the love of God for all people, students, faculty, staff, and alumni will apply their God-given gifts and their learning to serving others, thus contributing to a better world. The University's commitment to honor God demands that its people and its programs pursue excellence in everything. The University will engage superior faculty and staff, embrace effective practices, attract quality students, and provide necessary resources and environment for excellence to flourish. The University will be a competitive and considerate employer regarding compensation, benefits, morale and support for families.
The University cherishes the principles of religious, intellectual, social, economic, and political freedom that are blessings from our Creator and upon which this nation was founded. Freedom is purposeful selection of that which is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable As an integral part of its educational mission, the University seeks to uphold, teach, and strengthen values which undergird liberty, free enterprise, and servant-leadership. As the University seeks to engage the culture and share the blessings of the Christian faith and liberty with the community and the world, it cultivates a global perspective and prepares students for life in a complex, demanding, and changing global community.
The University affirms the value of preparing and encouraging leaders to use their talents and abilities in service to others. We believe the cultivation of servant leaders has a profound and lasting impact on individuals, families, communities, and nations. The University is committed to providing classes, symposia and other resources that help individuals to identify their God-given gifts and equip them to exercise those gifts to promote Christian principles of peace, compassion, and equality. We believe that effective leaders must possess a global perspective informed by a rigorous liberal arts education rooted in Biblical understanding. The University will seek to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations dedicated to developing leaders of character, vision and courage.

Kentucky holds schools and districts to high standards for educating children. In 2009, Kentucky's General Assembly passed Senate Bill 1, which changed the state's public education system. New, more rigorous standards were adopted, new tests were aligned to these standards, and the focus shifted to student readiness for life after high school. Kentucky was the first state to adopt the Common Core State Standards for math and language arts. These new standards were first taught in the 2011-2012 school year and were tested in May 2012. <

As the ineffable H.L. Mencken once put it, "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." An example now working its way through the Senate is the proposal, embraced by President Barack Obama and passed (in a worse version) by the House to allow bankruptcy judges to reduce the principal owned on a mortgage, a practice popularly known as a cramdown. It has the air of plausibility, but if passed it would make it even more difficult for people, especially first-time buyers and people with low-to-moderate incomes, to get mortgages and own houses.
To make matters worse, it would help only a few people avoid foreclosure, and likely those least in need of help.
It might seem sensible for people who find themselves in financial difficulty due to job loss or other circumstances related to the recession, or "upside down" on their mortgage to be able to declare bankruptcy and have a judge reduce the principal or interest rate on their loan. But this would create bigger problems for more people down the road.
If bankruptcy judges had the power to change the terms of mortgage contracts unilaterally, that would represent an additional risk for lenders. Additional risks are generally handled by changing the terms of contracts to minimize the impact of those risks. In the case of mortgages, this would almost certainly take the form of requiring a larger down payment or a higher interest rate.
These added costs would fall with disproportionate impact on lower-income would-be homebuyers or on first-time homebuyers who do not have equity in an existing home that they might be able to pull out to make a down payment. Thus fewer people would be able to take advantage of bargains that exist due to foreclosures and falling home prices � which would slow down recovery in the housing market.
The financial-services industry is divided in its approach to the proposal. Some banks are negotiating with Illinois Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin, the point man in the Senate on this proposal, to modify it to make it less onerous. Others � the Mortgage Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association � oppose the idea in any form.
The best bet would be for negotiations to reach an impasse and for the cramdown idea to die. One can understand the desire to want to reduce the number of foreclosures, but this proposal would create many more problems than it would solve.

PHILADELPHIA – On Senior Night, three graduating wide receivers combined for 209 yards and two touchdowns as part of a complete team effort in a 72-29 win for Penn over Princeton at Franklin Field. The Quakers improved to 3-3 in the Collegiate Sprint Football League with the win.
Over the first 5:41 of play in the opening quarter, the two teams gave a sign of what was to come with a combined 20 points as Penn took a 14-6 lead. Princeton was first to score, capitalizing on a muffed punt by Penn to score the game's first touchdown on a 17-yard John Wolfe score 2:42 into the game. After a Penn blocked PAT was negated due to an illegal touching penalty on the return, Princeton went for two and was incomplete to keep its lead at 6-0.
The Quakers would answer quickly, needing four plays to cover 64 yards and take a 7-6 lead. The big play on the drive was Penn's first from scrimmage – a 40-yard completion from Mike McCurdy to senior Freddy Ordonez. Three plays later, Joe Raso would plunge in from one yard out.
Penn's defense would come up with a big play on Princeton's next drive, as Ed Cai strip sacked Chad Cowden in the shadows of the Tigers' endzone and Patrick Boyle would recover the fumble at the Princeton three. Two plays later, Mike Beamish stuck the ball in from one-yard out.
That flurry would be all the scoring in the first quarter, neither team scoring until a second Raso rush from one-yard out early in the second quarter. That run capped an 11-play, 95-yard drive for Penn which covered 5:24 of play. In all, Penn would score 35 unanswered points after allowing the game's opening touchdown – three of which were one-yard rushes and one more from two yards out. After Penn had built a 35-6 lead, Princeton would get back on the board with an eight-play, 57-yard drive finished by a five-yard Cowden pass to Chris McCord with 4:18 left in the first half. Mike Beamish would answer with his third touchdown of the half, finding paydirt from seven yards out on Penn's next drive. Ed Cai would take advantage of a high snap from Princeton on a punt, tackling the punter in the endzone for a safety, and an eight-yard touchdown catch from Freddy Ordonez would give Penn a commanding 51-14 lead at halftime.
The Quakers would connect on two long passes to open the second half, McCurdy finding Michael Bass and then Brendan Dale from the tight end spot to add to Penn's lead.
Princeton would find offensive footing after Dale's score, marching 69 yards on 10 plays and finishing the drive with a one-yard Cowden touchdown to Kevin Ma. On the last play of the third quarter, backup quarterback Paul Rogofsky scampered in from four yards out for Penn's final touchdown of the night. Princeton would again put together an impressive drive, totaling 10 plays and moving 65 yards over a span of 4:56 before Cowden snuck in from one yard out.
Midway through the next drive, the game was called after an agreement between both coaches after injuries were piling up for an already shorthanded Princeton squad.
For the Quakers, 72 points scored were the most in a single game since putting up 70 on Princeton in 2010.
First downs were practically even in the game, Penn notching 23 and Princeton with 22. It was Penn's dominant edge in the running game which was the difference in the end. Penn ran the ball 33 times – just four more than Princeton – and recorded 224 yards rushing and six touchdowns. Beamish accounted for 98 of those yards, increasing his career yardage to 1,966.The Tigers accumulated 70 yards and two touchdowns in their 29 rushes.
In the air, Penn threw for 352 yards on 15-for-18 passing. Mike McCurdy had all the throws for the Quakers, tossing four touchdowns. McCurdy's 352 yards are fourth-most in a single game by a Penn passer, and his 1,235 yards slot him fifth all-time on Penn's single-season passing list.
Andrew Donald was his favorite target, the senior making the most of Senior Night with a career-high 119 yards on five catches. His 119 yards are 15th-most in a single game all-time by a Penn receiver and move Donald into fifth-place all-time on Penn's career receiving yardage list with 848.
Defensively, Stu Helgeson had 10 total tackles, making eight solo stops. Ed Cai was in on seven tackles, making five by himself. He added 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss, forcing a fumble and breaking up a pass. Robert Diorio matched Cai's seven tackles, pitching in the only interception of the game. As a team, Penn broke up nine Princeton passes and forced three fumbles.
The Quakers will conclude their season at Navy on Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.

Rock and roll was invented in America and so was mass production of the automobile.
It only seems natural that the two frequently go together like chocolate and peanut butter -- two great tastes that taste great together.
As long as rockers have been writing songs, they have been singing about their love for fast cars, so much so that the old saying could easily go "sex, drugs, cars and rock and roll."
When Americans take road trips across the country's highways and these songs come on, many are likely to turn the volume up and step down on the gas.
So if you've got a road trip in your future, why not take along these 10 songs to make the miles speed by faster?
No. 10: "No Particular Place to Go" by Chuck Berry
Perhaps no song better sums up the feeling of taking a long Sunday drive for no good reason than "No Particular Place to Go."
Berry's classic song dates back to 1964 and reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. But things don't turn out perfectly for the singer, whose date is foiled by a malfunctioning safety belt.
Best lyrics:
Ridin' along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
No. 9: "Highway Star" by Deep Purple
"Highway Star" is one of Deep Purple's best known songs and appeared on its 1972 album "Machine Head." It is a fast-paced song with ripping guitar chords that is basically a high octane love song about the singer's unspecified car.
Former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover told Guitar Magazine in a 2003 interview that the song was actually written on a tour bus in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar while singer Ian Gillan improvised lyrics.
The song was refined and was performed that same night. Now, that's rock and roll.
Best lyrics:
Oooh its a killing machine
It's got everything!
No. 8: "Drive My Car" by The Beatles
"Drive My Car" was the opening track to the Beatles 1965 album "Rubber Soul," which was ranked as the fifth best album of all time by Rolling Stone in 2003.
The song is one of the Beatles more lighthearted songs and it's hard not to get a smile on your face if it comes on the radio while you are out cruising around.
Just try to avoid shouting along with the "Beep beep'm beep beep yeah" parts. We dare you.
Best lyrics:
I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start
No. 7: "Low Rider" by WAR
"Low Rider" is a 1975 song that chronicles the practice in auto culture of installing hydraulics to a muscle car's suspension system, making it a "low rider."
The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1995 film "Dazed and Confused," a movie about a bunch of teenagers that like to drive around and go cruising in the 1970s.
Listen to it a few times, and you will wish you were right there with them.
Best lyrics:
All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer
No. 6: "Pink Cadillac" by Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen used auto imagery in many of his songs, but probably never more famously than in this top 10 hit from 1984.
The Boss has said that he was inspired to become a musician after seeing Elvis Presley on television when he was 7 years old. While the owner of the pink Cadillac in the song is a woman, it's difficult to imagine that it wasn't at least partially inspired by Elvis Presley's famous pink Cadillac, which is still preserved at Graceland.
As you listen to the song's soulful saxophone whine, we bet you won't be able to think of anything but the open road.
Best lyrics:
But my love is bigger than a Honda
It's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
No. 5: "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Charlie Ryan
"Hot Rod Lincoln" has been recorded by several artists, but was originally written by Charlie Ryan and released in 1955. The song is about a race between a Lincoln and a Cadillac and is considered a classic among hot rod and drag racing culture.
Ryan, who owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 Ford Model A body, actually recorded the song twice. His 1959 version, recorded as Charlie Ryan and The Timberline Riders, is probably the better known of the two.
The song also found fame in versions recorded by Johnny Bond in 1960 and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen in 1975, which climbed to No. 9 on the Billboard charts.
Best lyrics:
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln
No. 4: "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre
Just like their rocker counterparts, rappers have an affinity for automobiles.
On his landmark 1992 album "The Chronic," considered one of the most influential in the history of rap and hip hop, Dr. Dre documented rap culture's love of the low rider on "Let Me Ride." It also didn't hurt that the chorus features a sweet funkadelic sample from George Clinton and Parliament.
The video featured Dr. Dre cruising around L.A in his "six fo'," -- a 1964 Chevy -- and making the front end of his car jump up a down with hydraulics by "hittin' the switches."
Best lyrics:
Back in the days, when I used to have to get my stroll on
Did nobody wanna speak
Now everybody
Peeping out they window when they hear me beatin' up the street
Is it Dre?
Is it Dre?
That's what they say
Every single day in L.A
No. 3: "Radar Love" by Golden Earring
In 2005, the BBC car show "Top Gear" named "Radar Love" the second greatest driving song of all time. But it and "Highway Star" were the only songs on the top five list that were actually about driving.
It's easy to guess that many speeding tickets have been received by drivers over the years because of this song. Everything about it makes you want to drive fast, from its opening lines -- "I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel" -- to its rising tempo, methodic bass lines and easy-to-sing-along-with chorus.
Best lyrics:
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
No. 2: "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys
The Beach Boys sang about cars almost as often as they did about surfing and beach life.
Classics like "409," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "Shut Down" and "Little Deuce Coupe" are all about cars. Aside from their music, the Beach Boys' iconic image of easy-going, free-wheeling surfers helped cement the group as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
"I Get Around" is perhaps their best song about cars because it captures that image perfectly. While not about a specific ride like in some of their other songs, "I Get Around" is more about the cruising lifestyle they helped popularize and captures their laid back California mentality.
Best lyrics:
We always take my car 'cause its never been beat
And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn't be right
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night
No. 1: "Little Red Corvette" by Prince
If you listen closely, "Little Red Corvette" is actually not about a car at all, but about a woman and a one-night stand. The Purple One wasn't the first to use a car as a metaphor for a woman in a song, but he did it better than anyone before or since.
"Little Red Corvette" is one of Prince's best known songs and helped launch him to superstar status in 1983. It was his first song to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the accompanying music video was one of the first on MTV to feature an African-American artist.
The lyrics are Prince at his sexually-suggestive best, and hardly a line passes without the use of a double entendre or layered metaphor. Some have interpreted the lyrics, including the title, of being so dirty that if Tipper Gore had listened closely she would have been much more horrified at "Little Red Corvette" than she was when she heard "Darling Nikki" and launched her crusade to censor song lyrics.
Best lyrics:
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, baby, have you got enough gas?
Oh yeah

You wait ages for a powerful and influential person to be caught trying to hide an extremely expensive watch – and then two come along at once.
First it was Russian Patriarch Kirill I, whose photograph on the church's website was digitally altered to erase a $30,000 Breguet watch from his wrist — except whoever made the change forgot about the clear reflection of the timepiece in the mahogany table. This did little to enhance the patriarch's reputation or that of his church, which faces increasing allegations of corruption and criticism for interfering in Russian politics. Read more

AKMA Adam sez, "After three years of living in Glasgow, we couldn't miss the opportunity to return to Cozy Noodle in Evanston -- our favourite restaurant here, where we used to live. We love the food and service, but the thing that sets Cozy apart is its vertiginously happy-mutant decor. The dining room was busy tonight, but I managed a few photos of the collections of Pez dispensers, Beanie Babies, licesnse plates, joke signs, bobbleheads, old-time radios, robots, lunch boxes, and fruit cans. No trip to Evanston will be complete without checking out Cozy's coections. And ask for the Chicken Rama (they'll substitute tofu for the chicken, if you're a vegetarian as I am. Mmmmmmmm!)"

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 3.7.12
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed where Elle Macpherspon joins the growing list of women who are decades older, but infinitely hotter than Lindsay Lohan. Sarah Jessica Parker, however, does not. We also have the most blatant misuse of Miranda Kerr's most valuable modeling assets, and Fran Drescher making me start to feel like Kirk Cameron has a point.
Gay stuff. Destroying the foundations of the civilization that created this priceless treasure.

"There are five portents of the Mahdi. These are the Sufyan, Yamani, a clamor from the sky, the disappearance of an army in Beyda and the killing of innocent people." (Nuaim ibn Hammad)
Beyda is a town in Libya. Beyda passed into the hands of the people, meaning that the army pulled out. So an army disappeared in Beyda, just as in the hadith. The hadith refers to the killing of the innocent. Innocent people have been killed in Libya. The sufyan is already known. A clamor from the sky, and that is television, radio and the internet. I will speak about Yamani later, insha'Allah.

What he said, What happenedContinue…
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated September 13th, 2012
DIDEM URER: The Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the attack in Libya that caused the death of the US Ambassador and 3 embassy officers. Regarding the film trailer Putin said; "religious feelings of people of all beliefs must be handled very carefully." The Russian leader said government reactions to religious provocation must be "tough and timely."
ADNAN OKTAR: What he said is nice, what he said is true. He, himself, is a person who displays sensitivity towards religion. He is a person who takes precautions against any libelous attempts against religion. In this respect that is a constructive, nice statement, it is a positive statement and a positive steering.

Our 11 daughter was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy 2 years ago. As well as the episodes she gets long bouts of nausea and headaches that can last months. These are completely dibilitating and she has not been in school for 6 weeks now. Our neurologist has said he has not seen this before and has suggested it is stress related but we have found evidence that there is a connection. Can anyone give me feed back on this ? Can one trigger the other and any suggestions that might bring relief ?
Re: My daughter's Constant headaches and nausea
I had this problem for about a year and was told it was stress, tension all in my mind then finally I went to a new neurologist and she said I don't want it to be this but I am going to test for it and found out I had something called Arnold Chiari Malformation. It is mostly in infants and kind of a rare disorder but it was found in me when I was 37 or 36 which made it even more strange. if the Doc hasn't checked perhaps you could ask about it. just a suggestion.
Be Blessed and Good Luck in finding out what to do
Re: My daughter's Constant headaches and nausea
Can you please give a little more detail of this Arnold Chiari Malformation? I've had Epilpesy since I was in high school, but it has progressed over the years and recently horrible. In the last 30 days I've probably only had 10 that I'm aware of, but better than where I was, 35 to 40 a month. Absolutely insane. Anyway, I too suffer from migraines, extreme nausea and flu like sypmptoms when I begin a series of seizures, which usually will last over a two to five day period. Dr.'s told me they were warning signs; prodromal symptoms. My body was actually telling me what was about to happen. (Both my Neuro. and my Internal Med. Dr. have told me this.) Now getting better, but completely had me incapable of doing anything for almost a year.
There are some homeopathic treatments I use that helps. I would be happy to chat with you if you like. My email is email@example.com. I will also say that I too have found a link with hormones and siezure activity. I kept a journal for over a year that really helped me begin to put some of these pieces together.
I hope your able to find something that helps her.
Re: My daughter's Constant headaches and nausea
It would be far better for you to check out Chiari on the net or to talk to your neurologist about it mine was level III with hydrosyphylous (SP) and that is the worst so I don't want to give you what I went through and have you worried to pieces. So read up on the net and talk to your Doc's let them do some testing and diagnosising I just thru it out there because it is rare and not alot people know to even ask, ya know what I mean, when it is the headaches like that and I know how it can be. Some do some of your own checking and I don't mind answering a question here and there about my experience but I am not a doc and you need to talk with them.
Gods Grace
Re: My daughter's Constant headaches and nausea
I'm lots older (36), but for me stress and seizures are connected. A gym membership helps me, even just going for a walk with my iPod. Also, depending on the meds, eliminating caffeine.
Also, just curious, is your daughter's neuro male or female? I've had lots of neurologists in my life (am in the middle of neurosurgery tests - my choice - seizures average 2-4 a month, but I'm on 3 meds - topomax, keppra & clobazam). Anyways, reason I ask the question. In life, female neurologists will ask about hormonal triggers, for the most part male doctors I'm the one that has to mention that.
Your daughter at age 11 is borderline to that "girly-girl" stage in life where she's onset puberty. For me, seizures are mostly under control & there are all different definitions of "stress" when you see a stress counselor - environmental, household, personal, physical and hormonal. At times male doctors overlook hormonal & if your daughter is really shy, it's something she may not be telling you yet either. Try going down that avenue with doctors. Keep some sort of journal. What is different on each day when headaches, etc. happen. That's kinda how I put it all together.
I'm still going through with surgery because it is necessary, but I do also know I have to be careful during certain times of that "monthly cycle" as I'm more prone to hormonal seizures right now. It took me putting it together & eventually asking male doctors the right questions when I was about 23 to get the right medications and solutions for that. Just a suggestion you may want to explore.
Hope this helps.

Traditional powers Aliquippa, Washington in marquee matchup
Similar to what some would say about the Yankees in baseball or Notre Dame in college football, Mike Zmijanac believes WPIAL football is better when a marquee "name" program such as Washington is playing like a championship contender.
"It's good for high school football when the traditional teams are good," Zmijanac said.
They don't get much bigger in Western Pennsylvania than Aliquippa — past or present. If it's the weekend after Thanksgiving, you can count on the Quips playing for a WPIAL championship at Heinz Field.
It's been five years since that hasn't been the case.
No. 1 seed Aliquippa will play No. 3 Washington for the WPIAL Class AA title in a matchup of 12-0 teams at 5 p.m. Friday.
While the Prexies are playing on Championship Friday for the first time since 2001, the Quips are making their seventh appearance in 10 years.
"Nobody understands how hard it is just to get here — let alone win," Zmijanac said. "We're not complacent enough to not want to win, but to get here is a great accomplishment for any team in the WPIAL."
It's an accomplishment Wash High used to make routinely. The Prexies won their first WPIAL title 95 years ago, and they played in six of the 12 Class AA championship games between 1990-2001.
Zmijanac boasts that he's been to every Aliquippa championship game appearance since 1952. He will be one of the few in the stadium on Friday who can say he was at Pitt Stadium the most recent time the Quips and Washington met in a WPIAL championship game (a 13-12 Aliquippa victory).
Twenty-two times since 1980, either Washington or Aliquippa has been to the WPIAL championship games. But this is the first time they will play each other with a championship on the line in 60 years.
To Zmijanac, it doesn't get much better.
"Those are the fanbases that make high school football," Zmijanac said. "Let me tell you something — I'm not putting people down when I say this — but ... all these new places that these recent residents come to, they only care about their kids playing, and once their kids are done playing, they quit following the team.
"Wash High, Beaver Falls, Jeannette, Aliquippa, McKeesport ... people put their blood and soul into those teams in those towns. It's good to have a traditional, longstanding school like that back."
Mike Bosnic is the man who led the Prexies back. When he took over as coach in 2009, Washington was coming off one of the worst seasons in its roughly century-long history at 1-8.
Four years later, Wash High is undefeated and in the WPIAL championship game again.
"We've come a long way," Bosnic said. "It's really neat to see the community excited about the football team again. It's a neat little town where football is still really important, and to be able to bring that pride and joy back to a lot of people in this community with how much it means to them is definitely very gratifying."
It won't be easy to reward those fans with a victory Friday. Aliquippa has been one of the more dominant WPIAL teams — this side of Class A Clairton — in recent memory. The Quips lead the WPIAL in scoring offense (52 points per game), scoring defense (3.5 ppg) and total defense (76.58 yards per game).
Washington counters with the WPIAL's leading rusher in Shai McKenzie. The junior has 2,656 rushing yards and can break the WPIAL single-season record with 85 yards Friday.
"I think he's one of the elite running backs in the country," Bosnic said.

Random Numbers with ConstraintsProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Generate two random numbers from 1 to 9, inclusive. Call them n1 and n2. What is the probability that | n1 - n2 | > 5?
Since you are making two choices of 9 numbers each, there are 81 total possible combinations (9 x 9).
The only combinations that have a difference greater than 5 are:
9 and 1, 2, or 3
8 and 1 or 2
7 and 1
This makes six combinations, but you also have to take them in the reverse order (i.e. 1 and 9 is a different combination than 9 and 1). This makes a total of 12 possibilities, making the probability 12 in 81.
