Statewide high school football notebook
Scranton's high-powered offense shattered school records in the regular season on its way to the Lackawanna Football Conference Division I title and the No. 1 seed for the District 2-11 Class AAAA subregional playoffs.
Wide receiver Karlon Quiller continues to build on his school single-season records of 43 receptions for 1,084 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns. The senior also holds the Scranton career records with 95 catches for 2,009 yards and 27 receiving touchdowns.
Counting his one season spent at Scranton Prep, Quiller has 108 catches for 2,225 yards with 31 touchdowns.
Scranton sophomore running back Jake McCarthy will begin the District 2-11 Class AAAA subregional playoffs with 1,432 yards with a school-record 21 rushing touchdowns and school-record 24 touchdowns overall.
And quarterback Marlinn Waiters enters the subregional playoffs owning the single-season record for touchdown passes with 22. He also has 3,065 yards passing and 38 touchdowns in leading the Knights to 18 wins in the last two seasons.
Scranton is 10-0 for the first time since 2003 and will host East Stroudsburg South on Saturday night at 7.
District 2
• Two Wyoming Valley Conference teams will get a shot at redemption in the District 2 playoffs. In Class AA, top-seeded Wyoming Area hosts No. 4 Lake-Lehman on Friday night. In Week 3, Lake-Lehman beat the Warriors, 15-14. In Class AAA, Dallas, winner of seven straight games, visits Berwick on Saturday afternoon. In Week 3, Berwick beat Dallas, 50-14.
• Jimmy Strickland did it again. For the second time in three games, the Holy Redeemer quarterback threw for more than 400 yards. This time he threw for 447 yards and five touchdowns in the Royals' 46-7 win at Pottsville Nativity.
• Old Forge senior running back Brian Tomasetti has run for 1,522 yards and is closing in on a school record for yards in a season. Ryan Marsico ran for 1,684 yards in 2001. Fueled by Tomasetti's 32 touchdowns and 196 points, Old Forge set a school record with 446 points. That surpassed the mark of 415 set in 2009 when the Blue Devils went 10-0 in the regular season before losing in the first round of the District 2 Class A playoffs to Riverside. Old Forge hosts Riverside on Friday night at 7 in the District 2 Class A semifinals.
• Riverside senior quarterback Nick Dranchak had a record-setting regular season that he will hope carries into a showdown with unbeaten Old Forge on Friday night. In his third season as a starting quarterback, Dranchak threw for 2,500 yards in the regular season to break the Riverside single-season yards record. Jay Velehoski held the mark of 2,312 set in 2008. Dranchak also owns the school record for yards passing in a career with 5,165.
• Delaware Valley senior quarterback Bryan Schor, who has verbally committed to Miami (Ohio), will start the postseason with 2,001 yards passing. He has a school-record 5,934 yards and 50 touchdowns in his career as he leads the Warriors into the District 2 Class AAAA subregional against Whitehall on Saturday night at 7.
District 3
• Schuylkill Valley has the rematch it was waiting for when previously unbeaten Berks Catholic lost to Wyomissing, 14-0, and dropped to No. 4 in the District 3-AA power ratings. Schuylkill Valley, at No. 5, lost to Berks Catholic, 21-20, in Week 6 when its bid for a two-point conversion in the final minute was snuffed.
• Wilson wrapped up its unprecedented fifth straight perfect run through Section 1 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League with a 28-0 win over Warwick. It was the Bulldogs' fourth shutout. They allowed just five TDs in seven league games. The win, coupled with a loss by top-ranked Central Dauphin, allowed Wilson to finish No. 1 in the District 3-AAAA power ratings for the first time since 2008. That's also the last time they won the title.
• Governor Mifflin claimed its fifth Berks Football League Section 1 title in six seasons with a convincing 56-30 win over Conrad Weiser. The teams entered the season finale unbeaten in league play. Sophomore QB Jan Johnson came up big for Mifflin, running for three TDs and throwing two.
• Muhlenberg's Brock Stoudt was in the right place at the right time in a 28-20 victory over Reading High. The sophomore linebacker recovered four fumbles on defense, a rare feat.
• Lancaster Catholic senior running back Roman Clay is closing in on the Lancaster-Lebanon League's all-time leading rushing mark. Heading into the Crusaders' District 3-AAA first-round game on Friday at home vs. Hershey, Clay is sitting on 5,407 career rushing yards, including 1,964 yards this season. Clay needs 256 yards to pass former Lebanon Catholic standout Tommy Long, who rushed for 5,662 during his prep days. Clay is No. 2 on the L-L League list.
• Garden Spot was the lone Lancaster-Lebanon League team to register a 10-0 regular season. The Spartans won the Section 3 title with a 6-0 mark in their first year down from Section 2. They'll get a familiar Section 2 foe in the first round of the District 3-AAA playoffs, when Manheim Central visits New Holland. One of the keys to Garden Spot's success: Forcing turnovers. The opportunistic Spartans forced a league-high 33 turnovers during the regular, and Garden Spot's plus-21 turnover ratio was tops in the league through 10 weeks.
District 5 and 6
• Despite being outgained 302-167, Richland edged Bellwood-Antis on the road in a battle of unbeaten teams that had already clinched top seeds in the District 6 playoffs. Kyle Flick's 37-yard interception return with 4:53 left in the third quarter wound up being the difference, as Bellwood had one drive end on a fumble at the Ram 1 and had another drive end at the same spot when time ran out on the Devils in the first half.
• Northern Bedford clinched the top seed in District 5 Class A with a little help from Windber. The Ramblers upended previously undefeated Berlin Brothersvalley, 28-20, while Northern Bedford came back in the fourth quarter to defeat District 9 Class AAA school Punxsutawney.
• Separated archrivals Northern Cambria and Cambria Heights had a tight battle in front of a standing-room only crowd before the Colts emerged with a District 6 Class A playoff clinching victory that snapped Heights' six-game winning streak, 29-20. The Highlanders drove 70 yards — all on the ground — to start the game, but Northern Cambria outscored Heights 22-6 over the last three quarters.
• Portage continued its roll into the playoffs by winning, 20-14, at Homer-Center to secure the second seed in District 6 Class A. The Mustangs did it without coach Gary Gouse, who had to have emergency abdominal surgery earlier in the day.
District 7
• The state's No. 1 team in Class A, three-time defending PIAA champion Clairton (10-0), cruised to a WPIAL first-round win over Frazier, and Division I prospect Tyler Boyd put on a show. He rushed for 238 yards and scored six times to give him 101 touchdowns for his career. He has a chance to break the state record of 123 if the Bears continue their march toward another state title. Clairton plays Black Hills Conference rival Brentwood in the WPIAL quarterfinals Friday.
• Washington junior Shai McKenzie rushed for 260 yards and six touchdowns in Friday's WPIAL first-round win over Shady Side Academy and now has 2,162 yards and 36 scores as District 7's leading rusher and scorer. He's also kicked 10 extra points. He has scholarship offers from Pitt, Duke, Purdue, Toledo and Youngstown State and is receiving interest from Alabama, Florida, George Tech, Illinois, Ohio State, Temple and Wisconsin.
• Robert Foster won the battle against fellow Division I prospect Dorian Johnson in the WPIAL first-round Friday night, even if he wasn't on the field. Foster's Central Valley team scored a 17-16 victory over Johnson's Belle Vernon team. Foster was suspended after being ejected in a week 9 game. He will be back on the field Friday when Central Valley plays Hopewell in the quarterfinals. Both Foster, a wide receiver prospect, and Johnson, a dominating offensive lineman, will visit Pitt on Nov. 16.
District 8
• Cornelio Coates booted a 27-yard field goal in overtime to give Perry its 17th Pittsburgh City League title Saturday, as the Commodores edged USO, 9-6. Coates had just started kicking the week before. Perry (8-2) gets this week off before opening PIAA tournament play next week. USO (5-3) hosts Somerset (5-5) in the PIAA regional playoffs Friday night at Cupples Stadium.
District 9
• The District 9 Class A playoffs, set to begin Friday, likely will add another chapter to the ongoing battle for supremacy between the Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference and the Allegheny Mountain League. Port Allegany (10-0), champion of the AML, received the No. 1 seed in the seven-team Class A bracket, while Clarion (10-0), winner of the KSAC, earned the No. 2 spot. Port Allegany defeated Clarion, 35-34, in the district title game a season ago to become the second straight AML representative to claim the championship. Clarion is the last KSAC team to win a Class A title; it defeated Coudersport, 7-0, in 2009. Dating back to 2000, AML teams have won nine Class A championships, while KSAC teams have claimed three. There were four finals that included two AML teams and none that involved two KSAC programs.
District 10
• Cathedral Prep star quarterback Damion Terry became District 10's all-time passer Friday with 106 yards and one touchdown in a 47-0 rout of General McLane. Terry has 6,116 career passing yards, taking the record from Oil City graduate Mark Kulinski (6,045). Terry is also the D-10 record holder with 73 career touchdown passes. The Michigan State recruit is also a career 1,000-yard rusher and has put together one of the top all-around careers in District 10 history. His current and future teammate Delton Williams proved the Ramblers also have a strong rushing attack with 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 10 carries against the Lancers. Prep and McLane could meet in three weeks for the D-10 Class AAA championship
• Mercyhurst Prep is red hot as the District 10 Class A playoffs begin. The Lakers have won six in a row and forced seven turnovers in a 14-7 upset win over Class AA Northwestern Friday. Cornelius Barclay reached 4,000 career rushing yards in the win and is in range of the school record. Aaron Horton, who is the D-10 single-season rushing record holder with 2,444 yards in 2010, has the Mercyhurst career record with 4,182 yards. Barclay's career total stands at 4,013 yards with a showdown against playoff nemesis Farrell on Friday in the D-10 quarterfinals. Mercyhurst becomes only the third D-10 school to have two 4,000-yard rushers in program history. Sharon, which has three, and Kennedy Catholic are the other two.
• District 10 is down to 23 teams in the playoffs this week. Cathedral Prep, McDowell and Slippery Rock will get the week off with the other 20 teams competing. McDowell, the D-10 representative in the PIAA Class AAAA playoffs, will take on Perry on Nov. 16 at Fairview's Keck Field. The winner gets the District 6-9 subregion winner in the PIAA first round. Prep gets the Conneaut-Warren winner and Slippery Rock gets the General McLane-Oil City winner. Conneaut is making its first playoff appearance in its first year of existence.
• The most intriguing matchup of the weekend could be Hickory-Northwestern in the D-10 Class AA quarterfinals. The two teams met last fall in the same round with the Hornets pulling out a 33-12 win after leading only 13-12 at the half. Both teams were upset with bracket released by D-10. Both Hickory and Northwestern thought the Hornets would be a higher seed and neither expected to meet in the first round. Grove City, Hickory and Wilmington finished as tri-champions of Region 3, while Corry and Northwestern were co-champions in Region 4. Hickory running back DeShawn Coleman, a West Virginia recruit, is in line to win the D-10 scoring title for the second straight year.
District 11
• Two of District 11's most successful Class 4A football programs will meet Saturday when the Districts 2-11 4A subregional playoffs start. No. 3 seed Easton and No. 6 Parkland have combined to win six of the last 10 District 11 4A championships. They were two of the three teams to tie for the Lehigh Valley Conference title this season, with Whitehall the third. Easton won its regular-season meeting with Parkland, 35-28, in Week 2, but it will not have sophomore running back Shane Simpson available this week. He suffered a season-ending leg injury Monday against Nazareth, finishing his sophomore season with 1,147 rushing yards. Parkland should get its top runner, senior Jarel Elder, back this week. He sat out Saturday's game against Emmaus with a sprained ankle.
• Allentown Central Catholic running back Colin McDermott broke the school's single-game rushing record and also established a Lehigh Valley Conference single-game rushing record with his 422-yard effort in last week's 42-7 win over Bethlehem Catholic. Parkland's Austin Scott held the old LVC mark, running for 402 yards against Bethlehem Freedom in 2002. McDermott enters this week's District 11 Class 3A semifinal with 2,114 rushing yards this season, an Allentown Central Catholic single-season record. The Vikings are seeking their fourth straight district title.
District 12 and 1
• The Philadelphia Catholic League goes by the PCL. The P should stand for predictable. No surprises at all in Class AAAA as league champion St Joe's Prep thumped Archbishop Ryan, 29-6, and La Salle pasted Roman Catholic, 42-13. La Salle will face Prep on Saturday afternoon for the PCL title. During the regular season, St Joe's defeated La Salle, 24-16. There was no drama at the Class AAA level, either. Archbishop Wood handled Cardinal O'Hara and Monsignor Bonner shutout Lansdae Catholic. Wood and Bonner will meet for the title Saturday night.

Surgeons perform thyroidectomy during general anesthesia, so you won't be conscious during the procedure. The anesthesiologist or anesthetist gives you an anesthetic medication as a gas — to breathe through a mask — or injects a liquid medication into a vein.
The surgical team places several monitors on your body to help make sure that your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen remain at safe levels throughout the procedure. These monitors include a blood pressure cuff on your arm and heart-monitor leads attached to your chest.
Once you're unconscious, the surgeon makes a small incision in the center of your neck or a series of incisions some distance from the thyroid, depending on the surgical technique he or she uses. All or part of the thyroid gland is then removed, depending on the reason for the surgery. If you're having thyroidectomy as a result of thyroid cancer, the surgeon may also examine and remove lymph nodes around your thyroid. Thyroidectomy usually takes several hours.
There are three main approaches to thyroidectomy:
After surgery, you're moved to a recovery room where the health care team monitors your recovery from the surgery and anesthesia. Once you're fully conscious, you'll be moved to a hospital room.
You may have a drain under the incision in your neck. This drain is usually removed the morning after surgery.
After a thyroidectomy, you may experience neck pain and a hoarse or weak voice. This doesn't necessarily mean there's permanent damage to the nerve that controls your vocal cords. These symptoms are often temporary and may be due to irritation from the breathing tube (endotracheal tube) that's inserted into your windpipe (trachea) during surgery, or as a result of nerve irritation caused by the surgery.
You'll be able to eat and drink as usual after surgery. Most people who have thyroidectomies remain in the hospital for about 24 hours.
When you go home, you can usually return to your regular activities, often within 10 days or so. Talk to your doctor about specific activity restrictions.

It's a matter of honor.
That's one reason why the federal government must raise the debt ceiling in time to avoid a default, said Frank Keating, CEO of the American Bankers Association, a Washington, D.C., trade group, in his testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. He spoke at the Oct. 10 hearing "Impact of a Default on Financial Stability and Economic Growth."
"In this country, our word is our bond," Keating said. "The respect and admiration that the United States and its institutions inspire around the world are based on the certainty that when our nation makes a promise, we keep it.
"If Congress fails to act and we hit the debt ceiling, we will set off a chain of events that will cover our entire economy and impact all Americans. These impacts would not be easily reversible. The repercussions could linger for years, providing a constant drag on our economy."
Reckless debtor?
"Default would also put the United States in the category of reckless debtor nations that have broken their word in the markets, including Argentina, Venezuela and Cameroon. Defaults left those countries financial pariahs and debilitated their economies," Keating said.
"If our nation defaults on its nearly $17 trillion in debt, the harm is likely to be measured in hundreds of billions of dollars," Keating said. "It would raise the cost for taxpayers to service our country's debt and the cost of borrowing for businesses, meaning job losses and price increases."
Rather than failing to pay existing obligations, the government should focus on ways to further reduce spending and make the debt level more sustainable, Keating said.
"The answer to managing our debt is not to simply stop making our payments on money already spent," Keating said. "We must pay our bills on time and in full. Then, we must carefully manage our future spending so that we can begin to pay down our accumulated debt."

Robin's Healthy Take: Are Butter Sauces Healthy Eats?by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, February 13, 2012
Are butter sauces healthy? They can be! Let's be honest, butter makes sauces silky and smooth. But that doesn't mean you need the whole stick. The key is adding just enough to make the sauce richer, allowing flavors to linger on your palate longer than they would without fat. Here are two great examples. The noodle dish is a vibrant, Asian dish heightened with the flavors of wasabi and soy. I used wasabi paste but you can make a paste with equal parts wasabi powder and water. For the London broil, lean steak is crusted with cracked peppercorns (which add fantastic flavor and crunch) and then grilled until medium. The steak slices are then drizzled with a lovely tarragon butter sauce. Sounds rich, but check out the calories!
Asian Noodles With Wasabi Butter Sauce
Serves 4
12 ounces Chinese chow mein (stir-fry) noodles
1 cup frozen soybeans (edamame)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons wasabi paste, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook noodles according to package directions, adding soybeans and bell pepper to the boiling water when you add the noodles. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine broth, butter, soy sauce and wasabi paste in a medium saucepan and set pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and whisk to dissolve wasabi paste completely into the broth. Add noodles, soybeans and bell pepper and cook 1 minute to heat through. Stir in cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Peppercorn Steak With Tarragon Butter Sauce
You can find cracked pepper in the spice aisle, or you can crack your own by placing whole peppercorns in a freezer bag and mashing them with the flat side of a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet.
Serves 4
Cooking spray
1 1/4 pound London broil
2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
Season both sides of steak with salt and cracked peppercorns. Place steak on hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium. Remove steak from pan and let stand 5-10 minutes before slicing crosswise (against the grain) into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Meanwhile, combine broth, butter, tarragon and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan and set pan over medium heat. Cook until butter melts and mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve steak slices with butter sauce spooned over top.

Before we empty the SPR or start WW III, Americans should recall that basic arithmetic is our greatest enemy . A barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia contains 5.9 million British Thermal Units (BTUs), so at the recent price of $120/barrel*, the price per million BTU is $20.34. Nymex natural gas is already priced per million BTU, and as of this writing the spot price is $2.21 This means Americans now pay over 9 times more for foreign energy than the domestic alternative. This is just one reason why the "recovery" Wall Street and Washington are always chattering about feels more and more like a death spiral on this side of the rainbow. Too bad cars don't run on natural gas, huh? Turns out they do, but first let's explore why I'm picking on Saudi Arabia.
We are going to have to deal with energy because we can't keep on borrowing from the Chinese and sending money to Saudi Arabia. We are mortgaging our children's future. We've got to have a different energy plan.
~Barack Obama
The outstanding balance on your kids' mortgage is up 51% ($5.2T) since those words were spoken. The US Government owed China $587B then. Three years later, that debt more than doubled to $1.27T and the only reason it isn't even higher now is because China has lost its appetite for US paper. Although the US has decreased the amount of oil imported from Saudi Arabia in recent years, it is still America's second biggest supplier (Canada is #1) and prices paid have more than quintupled in the last decade (the average price in 2002 was $22.81). Just to drive home the point: Natural gas is 40% cheaper today than Saudi oil was ten years ago.
"The next time you hear some politician trotting out some three-point plan for $2 gas you let him know we know better. Tell him we're tired of hearing phony election year promises that never come about."
~President Barack Obama
(Thank You, Jesus)
Obama made those juicy remarks yesterday regarding Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich's assertion that high gasoline prices are a "direct result" of Obama's energy policies. Loathe as I am agreeing with anything coming out of Moon Base's pie hole, he's right. When you spend most of your time completely ignoring your most viable option, bad things tend to happen. Go ahead, see if you can find a video clip of the President talking about developing natural gas in the first two years of his administration (pack a lunch). There's more than 13 million vehicles worldwide running on natural gas, and less than 1% are in the United States.
Fun Fact: According to the World Policy Institute, Iran is the World leader in natural gas vehicles, with 2.86 million NGVs as of November 2011.
Meanwhile back in the land of PT Barnum, the Chevy Volt is cementing its reputation as the WTF product of the 21st century (and I don't mean "Winning The Future"). On March 4, 2012 General Motors suspended production of the
Turd Volt due to poor sales. The Volt would be a national disgrace if it could be called an "American" car with a straight face, but I won't spend any time trying to convince you of that. Simply google the exact phrase "Chevy Volt sucks" and you will find 10,900 results to explain it in agonizing detail.
Since 1998, Honda has been making a compressed natural gas (CNG) version of its popular Civic model in East Liberty, Ohio ('98 – '08) and Greensburg, Indiana ('09 – present), called the Civic GX. It has been the only natural gas passenger vehicle produced and sold in the United States and although it's won tons of awards, including "Greenest vehicle of the year" eight years in a row by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, most of us have never seen one. Why? Because there are less than 400 CNG stations open to the public in the country.
The Civic GX isn't without drawbacks. It has less responsive acceleration, reduced trunk space, and you can't commit suicide by running it in a closed garage because its tailpipe emissions are often cleaner than ambient air. Googling the exact phrase "Civic GX sucks" this morning produced this:
WMDs, again?
Of course I speak of "Weapons of Mass-media Distortion." If you listen to CNBS today, you'll get the impression that cars running on natural gas is a brand spanking new idea, and that GE is racing to develop a CNG home-filling station (something Honda began offering in 2005). GM and Chrysler say they will have engines that will run on both gasoline and nat gas by year's end! Neato, but Iran's ICKO started producing dual-fuel engines in 2009.
At this point you have all the information you should need to determine if the American energy policies of the last decade have helped or hurt working Americans, and if those policies, or lack thereof, were the product of greed and corruption or the fact that our elected officials are utter idiots. No matter what your opinion, we are here and it is now, so here's a much more important question: Why doesn't the US Government step in and buy natural gas futures and options? In doing so they could put a cap on energy prices for years to come and create millions of jobs while transitioning to a more sensible energy policy. Stable prices and maximum employment (does that ring a bell?).
They won't. They'll say, "It's not the government's place to interfere in the free market." Really? The same government that spent $170B last year propping up the housing market to keep big banks solvent doesn't like interfering? $100B+ in student loans to keep education over-priced and young people in debt doesn't count?
The cruel nature of capitalism is supposed to kill stupidity, by sending the misguided to the poorhouse and the criminal to the jailhouse, yet time and time again, we have seen the natural outcomes of capitalism deemed "unacceptable" by our politicians. The US Government and/or the Federal Reserve rushed in with trillions of other people's money to rescue Countrywide, Bear Stearns, Merril Lynch, AIG, Goldman Sachs, General Motors, General Electric, Citigroup, Wachovia, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan from the fate they rightly deserved. Yet when faced with the opportunity to help ordinary Americans, create millions of jobs and move the nation toward energy independence, all of a sudden, they're laissez-faire?
The Obama administration recently accused Iran's elite of profiteering "on the back of the average Iranian" regarding imposed US sanctions. I guess our government would know an awful lot about that sort of thing….
Hopefully you're beginning to understand just how expensive pseudo-capitalism is.

Basketball hero's life ends in suicide
Remember the Hickory Huskers? In real life, Kent Poole was the most Hoosier of them all. A small-town Indiana high school star who landed a spot in a famous movie, but then stayed home to farm and coach his kids.
So he wasn't acting when he delivered the movie's signature line. "Let's win this one for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here."
One of the great moments in sports film history. I could watch it forever.
Kent Poole was buried Sunday at the age of 39. Early last Thursday morning, he took his own life in his yard.
The three middle-aged men sit around a table in a farmhouse. Out the window are cornfields and country roads, as if scenery from the movie.
"He loved the entertainment part of it. He was a people person," Kim Demaree is saying about Poole. "That movie was the way he lived his life. He liked the little school spirit."
Demaree was Poole's closest friend, and farming partner. It was Demaree who spent last Wednesday night with Poole at a restaurant and karaoke bar.
It was Demaree who Poole called later and asked for help after he had wrecked his truck at a rural intersection, and walked home. It was Demaree who found Poole 35 minutes after that, hanging from a tree near his house.
"We had been making plans for the next day," he says. "We were going to meet with another farmer."
There was not a sign that night. Not a hint. Only questions now that will never be answered.
"Sure I wonder. Everybody does," Demaree says. "Nobody who was around him saw anything."
But the men knew of their friend's demons. Poole had fought depression for years. Like millions do. They had devoured his marriage. He had made some poor choices. A divorce was pending, though he had remained close to his two daughters and son.
Depression can be an awful force. It had thrown a shadow in nearly every corner of Poole's life. In the end, apparently, it had had taken the will to reason away from the heady guard from Hoosiers. And the farmer from Advance.
"I think he just felt like in the last years he let some people down," Demaree says. "And it troubled him.
"He didn't want to be that way."
Andrew Mitchell nods. He was a former teammate. In real life, not the movie.
"Kent never wanted to ever take a step backward. He had always fought, in basketball, in life, in farming. It wasn't an option to lose. It wasn't a way out.
"He has a boy who plays basketball. We were talking how none of us could fathom how low he would have been to give up seeing that."
At the other end of the table, Terry Dickerson says softly, "I think what's so hard for us, is that he actually gave up."
Small-town communities bond against inexplicable tragedy. More than 1,300 people were at Poole's calling Saturday. The hometown boy some had jokingly nicknamed "Hollywood" after the movie made it big.
"It's disbelief," Demaree says. "I expect to see his name pop up on my phone."
The guys met after the funeral Sunday to talk over old times. The 1982 season, when Poole nearly helped take his small school team to the Indiana state finals. The 1986 film, when he helped do it on film.
"I'm not going to view his life through that movie," Mitchell says. "because I got to see it for real."
Not far away, a troubled man's house now sits empty. But still on the wall is a maroon uniform. No. 12. Kent Poole's jersey from Hoosiers.

MEDIA ADVISORY: "Hunger Games" Search Results Hide "Poisoned" Online SurprisesNorton by Symantec Data Shows Internet Searches for Hollywood's Hottest New Franchise May Return Dangerous Results for Fans (March 23, 2012)
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/23/12 --
The dystopian world of the "Hunger Games" has enraptured millions of fans around the world, and cybercriminals are paying attention. Following the wild success of the young adult novel trilogy, the first blockbuster installment of the series is slated to hit the big screen on March 23, and where there are curious fans scouring the Internet for information and exclusive sneak peeks, there are crafty cybercriminals looking to capitalize.
While video tutorials on character Katniss Everdeen's trendy braid are innocent enough, Norton has found that a variety of searches related to the movies and books are turning up malicious results. Although difficult for the average user to distinguish, these "poisoned" links can instantly infect your computer with viruses, keylogging programs (which allow criminals to monitor your typing) and other software that can wreak havoc on your smartphone, computer or tablet. Ensuing problems can make you feel as though you're battling against your devices.
To date, we have seen malicious results related to fans trying to find the copies of the full movie online and also on Suzanne Collins, author of the novels.
Top search terms that we've already seen returning poisoned results include:
- Hunger Games Suzanne Collins
- Hunger Games Free Movie Download
- Hunger Games Full Movie Torrent
Norton expects to see an increase in the number of poisoned search results as anticipation for the movie comes to a boil.
Norton experts are available to share tips on how users can protect themselves from "Hunger Games"-related threats online, including:
- Choose your allies carefully - Katniss Everdeen wouldn't trust the people trying to defeat her, and neither should you. Cybercriminals promise sensational content, such as leaked videos, to lure you into clicking on their poisoned links. Better to get your information from a website you trust, and use the free tool Norton Safe Web Lite to lead you to safe search results.
- Know how to defend yourself - Online security software from a reputable company will identify malicious links and protect against other unseen threats. Norton 360 allows you to surf online safely and will warn you away from lurking foes.
- Don't be tempted by false hope - If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Evaluate the information you come across as though it were propaganda from the Capitol -- all that glitters isn't gold so don't let your curiosity overcome common sense.

Rain is tipped to stop play in backyard Christmas Day cricket clashes around Sydney, with a southerly change expected to sweep through the city from early on Tuesday morning.
Those wanting to get their dose of Christmas beach weather have been urged to head to the coast on Monday, when the mercury is expected to climb to a high of 30 degrees in the city and up to 38 degrees in the west.
The balmy conditions follow a hot and humid Sunday night, when the temperature in the city was still 23 degrees at midnight and hit a low of 21.6 degrees just before 4.30am.
But the heat is expected to be short lived, Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Andrew Haigh said.
"I'd say today would be the beach weather day if that's what you're after," Mr Haigh said.
"Today will probably turn out fairly similar to yesterday. It will be mostly sunny to start with. There are a few clouds around but I think they will dissipate and we will get sun for a good part of the day before it gets cloudy towards the end of the day."
A few showers and thunderstorms could develop in the west and to the south of Sydney from Monday evening, before another warm and humid night.
The southerly change is forecast to hit early on Christmas day.
"Early in the morning tomorrow we're expecting the wind to turn around to the south, and that should really cool things down," Mr Haigh said.
"The forecast for tomorrow is for cloudy conditions, isolated showers and there is also the chance of thunderstorms early in the morning as that southerly change comes through," Mr Haigh said.
"We might not get anything, but during that period of time there's just that chance.
"For the rest of Christmas day, we're expecting a maximum of 24 degrees and most of the day should be fairly cool, fairly cloudy, with the odd shower or two about and winds from the south."
Boxing Day is expected to be cooler, with isolated showers in the morning and a top of 22 degrees forecast.

TAMPA, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team collected a ninth-place finish at the USF Bulls Cross Country Invitational, Friday evening from the USF Golf Course.
"Both teams continue to improve each week," said head coach Melissa Miller-Mangen. "Still, while we want our times to be faster, we need to understand that it's the team finish that matters."
The Lions were led by Jillian Browne and her 5K finishing time of 21:39.58. Following Browne was teammate Andrea Maxwell as she closed the race less than a second off her pace at 21:40.19.
Overall, the University of Central Florida earned top individual honors as Anne-Marie Blaney earned medalist credit posting a time of 18:36.59. The University of Tampa took home the team championship as they finished four points ahead of Central Florida with 57 points.
Shelby Adams and Kylie Fagan also finished near the top-half of the 120-person field for the Green and Gold as they finished with times of 22:20.21 and 22:27.98, respectively.
Lee Ann Antuna crossed the tape at 24:02.57, while Kelsey Bradley, Christine Hartley, and Alison Knipe wrapped-up the Lions evening with strong finishes.
The Lions will return to the course on Saturday, September 15, when they travel to Gainesville, Fla. to compete in the UF Invitational. The races is scheduled to go off at 8:30 a.m.

Australia's best known playwright, David Williamson, has attacked the nation's "huge" spending on sports while a "pittance" is spent developing the next Cate Blanchett or Geoffrey Rush.
Williamson has also taken aim at the funding being "ripped" from TAFE, costing 800 teaching positions in NSW alone, with fine arts "predictably" among the casualties, while Melbourne was set to lose a valuable creative arts program.
"The overall cost of our Olympic gold medals was in excess of $17 million per medal but that was thought to be not nearly enough investment by many who oversee our elite sports institutions," said Williamson, delivering the 2012 National Tertiary Education Union lecture in Fremantle.
"Why as a society we think it's legitimate to spend huge amounts on our sportsmen and women, but seemingly don't think the relative pittance we spend on developing a potential Cate Blanchett or Geoffrey Rush is as justifiable, has to say something about our national and political priorities."
The former Sydneysider, whose new play Happiness premieres at the Ensemble Theatre in May and whose play Rupert, about media baron Rupert Murdoch, premieres at the Melbourne Theatre Company in August, now lives in Queensland, where "the barbarians are not just at the gate, but in power".
Williamson, in his lecture "Living dangerously: The future of creative arts education in Australian universities", said the new Queensland Premier, Campbell Newman, had transformed the state into a "developers' paradise", while abolishing the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards, "which cost the relatively trivial amount of a quarter of a million dollars".
But the playwright also took aim at other states: in Victoria, the Baillieu government had sliced $35 million from Swinburne University of Technology's budget as part of a general $290 million cut to TAFE in that state.
"Swinburne is being forced to plan the closure of its Prahran campus, home to its creative arts program, which in terms of graduates being employed in the arts industry, has been one of the most successful in the country," Williamson said.
"Where are our future cameramen, directors, set and lighting designers, choreographers and makeup artists for television, film and stage meant to spring from? It seems, in that phrase invented by Shakespeare, the greatest artist of all time, 'thin air'."
In NSW, meanwhile, some 800 TAFE jobs are "slated to go and the casualties, predictably, are fine arts and ceramics".
"Creative courses on university campuses are under just as much threat, but here it's not the bloody-minded anti-arts mentality of conservative state governments that's to blame but the gradual python squeeze of less and less university funding for which the federal government must take the blame," he said.
"Despite increases in university funding by the Labor government, these increases have not kept up with inflation or increasing student load and in essence our universities are asked to do more with less.
"Funding levels for higher education have dipped to just 0.7 per cent of GDP as against the OECD average of 1 per cent."
"Skimping" on higher education was partly to do with "political cowardice", he said.
"It's OK to have white papers on us integrating ourselves with Asia in the 'Asian Century' and tell us we're all to learn Asian languages, as long as there are absolutely no plans to actually do anything."
Yet the arts sector contributes $30 billion a year to GDP, more than agriculture, forestry and fishing combined, Williamson said.
"Funding in a university flows from the number of students you teach and how effective you are as a research institution," he said.
"Many faculties have responded to funding pressures by decreasing the staff student ratio. Tutorials of a dozen were commonplace 30 years ago, now the normal size is 30. While this has decreased the effectiveness of teaching in all faculties, it's still possible in most of them to get an acceptable outcome.
"In creative pursuits, however, learning is only partly possible by discussion; it's actually doing the activity, and getting precise and informed feedback from talented teacher-practitioners that enables a student to flourish."
Williamson said the new national curriculum would be weakened by a lack of funding, despite the welcome emphasis on arts.
"The success of the national arts curriculum is being hamstrung by the lack of qualified music, drama, dance and art teachers," he said.
"Great arts teachers can work wonders in introducing our kids to the joys of the arts.
"But teachers without sufficient specialist training in teaching music, theatre, dance or drama are equally good at torpedoing the artistic talents and passions of young people. We urgently need to lift the level of arts training that primary teachers get. We desperately need to produce more specialist arts teachers for our high schools.
"But the reality is that many of the higher education institutions which should be producing these teachers are being specifically targeted for budget cuts.
"Put simply, we are not going to have the teachers to teach the national arts curriculum. That is plain dumb."

* Greenberg had sued for $25 bln, claiming unlawful bailout
* Judge: AIG acted out of "corporate desperation" in accepting rescue
* Greenberg may appeal, pursues separate lawsuit
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York won the dismissal of former American International Group Inc Chief Executive Maurice "Hank" Greenberg's $25 billion lawsuit accusing it of unlawfully bailing out the insurer during the 2008 financial crisis.
The decision issued Monday by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan was a ringing endorsement of broad central bank power to try to preserve the global financial system from systemic threats.
It was also a defeat for Greenberg, 87, and his Starr International Co. Before the bailout, AIG had been the world's largest insurer by market value and Starr was its largest shareholder, with a 12 percent stake.
"The decision vindicates the Fed at every turn," said David Skeel, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. "It shows a willingness, now and in the future, to give the Federal Reserve extraordinary flexibility to respond to a financial crisis without a serious risk of potential legal liability."
Starr accused the New York Fed of engineering a "backdoor" bailout for Wall Street banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc at the expense of AIG shareholders, by forcing the insurer to unwind its bets on mortgage debt through hundreds of billions of dollars of credit default swaps.
It also contended that the New York Fed breached its duties to shareholders under the law of Delaware, where New York-based AIG is incorporated.
But Engelmayer said AIG acted out of "corporate desperation" in accepting the $182.3 billion rescue. He also rejected Starr's likening the New York Fed to a "loan shark" for providing an initial $85 billion credit line at a 14.5 percent interest rate.
"Merely because the AIG board felt it had 'no choice' but to accept bitter terms from its sole available rescuer does not mean that that rescuer actually controlled the company," Engelmayer wrote.
The judge also found nothing to suggest that AIG directors who approved the unwinding of the swaps were "in any way less than 100 percent independent."
Starr and Greenberg sued over the bailout last November and are still suing the New York Fed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., under different legal theories.
Robert Dwyer, a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner who represents Greenberg, said Starr may appeal Engelmayer's decision to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. He said the decision will not affect the Washington, D.C. case.
Greenberg's office had no immediate comment.
The New York Fed said in a statement: "We are pleased with the court's decision to dismiss this case, which we have always believed to be without merit."
Richard Epstein, a professor at New York University School of Law, said the ruling was not surprising because the New York Fed could not be held legally responsible to always craft perfect solutions in times of crisis.
"It's just too much to demand of anybody that in the face of all these kinds of turmoil, you come up with the optimal solution when no one is clear about what the optimal solution is," he said.
AIG was bailed out on Sept. 16, 2008, one day after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc went bankrupt, as losses soared from the credit default swaps.
Greenberg, who led AIG for nearly four decades before he was ousted in 2005, accused the New York Fed of wasting more than $60 billion of AIG and taxpayer funds through the bailout.
He said the rescue terms improperly benefited banks such as Goldman, Deutsche Bank AG and Societe Generale , allowing favored counterparties to be repaid in full and freed from legal liability.
Greenberg also said the New York Fed improperly let the U.S. Treasury take a 79.9 percent stake in AIG without giving a vote to existing shareholders who would be diluted. The government stake has since fallen to about 15.9 percent.
At the time of the bailout, Henry Paulson headed the U.S. Treasury Department, and his successor Timothy Geithner was president of the New York Fed.
Engelmayer found that the New York Fed appropriately exercised its authority to try to preserve the banking system, reduce the threat of "grave national and international financial repercussions" and minimize losses to the public.
"While driving a hard bargain with the counterparties might have saved AIG and its shareholders money, (the New York Fed) could reasonably conclude that its statutory mission of stabilizing the economy made speed and closure a top priority," he wrote.
"It could reasonably conclude that it was time for the cycle of collateral calls and mammoth rescue loans to end; that the stability of the U.S. economy required decisively terminating AIG's exposure to counterparties; and that paying par value - as opposed to opening up a bazaar of uncertain and maybe protracted negotiations with counterparties - was the best means to attain such closure."
Engelmayer also said Delaware law should not be used to impose duties on the New York Fed that "squarely conflict" with the New York Fed's federal responsibilities.
He dismissed Starr's claims "with prejudice," meaning they cannot be brought again.
"The judge is saying that an instrument of government such as the New York Fed serves interests much broader than the private interest of any single party," said James Cox, a law professor at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
In the case before the Court of Federal Claims, which handles lawsuits seeking money from the government, Starr said the AIG bailout deprived shareholders of their due process and equal protection rights through an illegal "taking" of property.
The presiding judge, Thomas Wheeler, in July allowed Starr to pursue that lawsuit.
But Skeel, the University of Pennsylvania law professor, questioned its prospects in light of Engelmayer's findings.
"The fact that this was so decisively rejected raises doubts about the likelihood of success of the takings case," he said.
Shares of AIG were up 1.6 percent, at $32.31 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. They have lost more than 97 percent of their value since credit conditions began to tighten in the middle of 2007.
The cases are Starr International Co v. Federal Reserve Bank of New York, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-08422; and Starr International Co v. U.S., U.S. Court of Federal Claims, No. 11-00779.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority and Israel are holding economic talks despite frozen peace negotiations in a bid to revamp revenue collection and help relieve the Palestinian government's deepening debt crisis, officials said on Sunday.
Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967 and interim peace deals have tasked it with levying taxes and customs duties on the Palestinian Authority's behalf, amounting to around $100 million a month, on goods imported into the territories.
However, it has previously frozen payments to the Palestinian government during times of heightened security and diplomatic tensions, provoking strong international criticism.
"There are still difficulties, but I hope that we will be able to reach an agreement soon ... both for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority and for the benefit of the state of Israel," Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz told reporters on Sunday, declining to discuss details of the meetings he described as secret.
Measures now under discussion include developing electronic records of imported goods, enabling Palestinian officials to directly monitor the flow of goods and follow up on instances of tax evasion, which could in turn generate more revenue, Palestinian officials said.
The Palestinian government in the occupied West Bank is reeling from a sharp drop in foreign aid following its unilateral campaign for statehood at the United Nations last year. It hopes increased tax revenue could help prevent cuts to public salaries and social benefits.
The talks are aimed specifically at overhauling the "Paris Protocol", signed in 1994 under which Israel collects taxes and customs for the Palestinian Authority.
"Israel has killed the Paris economic agreement through security measures and closures, and by preventing freedom of movement," Mohammed Shtayyeh, a member of the Palestinian negotiating delegation told Reuters.
"The Palestinian Authority must have sovereignty over its territory."
Talks on a permanent peace agreement leading to Palestinian statehood stalled in 2010 in a dispute over Israeli settlement building in the West Bank.
However, the economic deliberations should not be seen as a breakthrough that could lead to renewed peace negotiations, the Palestinians said.
"The Israelis are trying to exaggerate the issue in order to cover up a diplomatic stalemate and deadlocked peace process," Ahmed Majdalani, Minister of Agriculture and Labour told Palestinian radio.
The talks come as the Palestinian Authority's draft annual budget, required by law to be finalized by the end of March, paints a grim picture of the government's finances.
In a report released on Saturday, the International Monetary Fund projected that if donor countries continued to withhold promised aid, and if last year's budget deficit of $1.1 billion were to recur this year, the PA would find itself with a budget shortfall of $500 million.
Citing commitments to rein in expenditures and put forward a leaner budget, Palestinian officials foresee a $950 million total deficit and $330 million financial gap, still a vast sum which is generating deep concern.
"The Palestinian government has made great efforts to control public spending this year but cannot hope to fill a gap this huge," Majdalani said.

PETER Kildemand knows his Grand Prix wild card chance is one he needs to take if he is to push his career to new heights in 2014.
The Robins number one was yesterday called up to wear the famous number 16 race jacket at his home Grand Prix in Copenhagen on June 28, for what will be his maiden World Championship appearance in the main field having twice been at Parken as a track reserve.
With a potential World Cup appearance also looming large on his horizons, Kildemand knows a good performance in the GP could also force Denmark boss Anders Secher's hand as he ponders his team selection for summer.
"I've known for a few days now but I had to keep it quiet but obviously it's really big for me because getting into the GPs is something I really want to do," he told the Advertiser.
"This is a big chance for me and it's one I know I have to take. I didn't expect it because there are some very good Danish riders but it's really nice to have been picked.
"It's going to be hard and I'm going to be nervous but there's no pressure on me and if I can get to the semis I will be happy. If you can get there then anything can happen.
"The team manager has said to me that this is my chance to show him what I've got and I really hope I can do that."
While the temptation is there to try and go the extra mile in preparation for his first Grand Prix start, Kildemand is keen to keep things simple and continue to do what he does best.
He said: "You do think about what more you can do but it's going to be the same because if you do too much you are going to overcook it and then make it harder for yourself."

There are times when I question why I allow myself to care so much about sports. As I've grown older, the ignorance of it 'being just a game' is gone. It is a business, and it tends to muck it up at times. Then we read about people like the parent in Texas who doesn't understand the difference between their son being bullied and just being on a terrible team. It is just things like as such that make me want to stop paying so much attention. Then I read and see things like what took place in Wisconsin last Friday, that reel me back, and remind me how great sports can be. Noah VanVooren has been the Little Chute High School football team manager the last four years. He is as much of the program as anyone that wears a uniform, and he was rewarded for his dedication to them by suiting up for a game, and having the opportunity to put an exclamation point on the team's playoff clinching victory with 1.2 seconds remaining.Read more →
I have a child with mosaic Down syndrome. He has a big brother that plays football and lacrosse. It would be a beautiful opportunity, if my son could have the experience that this young man had the courage and strength to do! What a wonderful community!
Hats off to The Little Chute Coaches and Players and most importantly to the entire Clintonville Program. This was a very classy and moving experience and it is one that everyone will hopefully learn from. Keep fighting Noah you are an inspiration. To the Head Coach at Clintonville....You really get it and thank god you are coaching young men. You have taught them a valuable lesson.
Just what ARE the duties of a football team "manager"? I've always felt that term was SO inflated. Someone keeps the equipment organized, and they're called "manager"? What an ego boost, I guest, but it's also patronizing. They handle smelly sweaty equipment for the most part. What else do they "manage" ? The players? The strategies? The workout programs? Let's do away with such a condescending term. I'm sure many with DS realize the patronizing nature of "manager." Seems like a lot of "managers" of football teams have DS or similar. Stop the condescension with "manager" already.
The football "manager" duties are to help the coaches with keeping things in order throughout the season. There are no "duties". They change on a daily basis. There is nothing condescending about the term manager. My daughter has been a "manager" for her 4 years in HS. She does not have DS, but she is a little more compassionate than you are along with being a better speller, hence your word GUEST instead of guess or guessed. But hey, I guess "normal" people have a right to belittle anyone they want.
PATTAP - You can't seriously be this idiotic? Are people really capable of such idiocy?
Unless you have a child with a disability, you might not be able to recognize the importance of feeling a part of something "bigger" than oneself. This type of opportunity, allows children to feel part of a group and a community. I have a child with a disability..ds and feel that what this community did, and the opposing team, was truly sportsman like conduct...not condescending in any facet! I also have been a teacher and coach for over twenty years. Their intentions are truly inspiring.
Both of these teams won something greater than any victory could ever yield! Thank you gentlemen for showing us what is more important than the sport itself. You are my heroes!
I am a fan through and through!
WOW! What can you say? What an amazing opportunity both teams gave this young man. It really makes me grateful for these two head coaches who instill such a positive influence on the boys in their programs (and community) . Couldn't have been easy for the losing squad to be that gracious, but they are all winners for having been a part of this.
Am I the only one who immediately thought Quasimodo?
My younger brother in law has a learning disability, but he never let that stop him from realizing some pretty great things. He joined a volunteer fire brigade, and they call him a fireman. He usually cleans around the firehouse and helps maintain equipment as he is able, and he never goes out on calls, but they call him a fireman anyhow. Condescending? I think not. He gets a real kick out of it, and the real firemen get a great feeling by helping out someone who has the guts and drive, but maybe not the ability, to be a fireman. Until you see the joy on the face of the kid who gets to be called Team Manager or Fireman, even though "all" they really do is wash trucks or serve Gatorade, you don't understand how powerful a healing thing that can be.
It's good to some positive news out there. There is so much news regarding teens poor behavior but we all know there are good kids everywhere and we more news like this. Everyone benefits from things like this.
That's called cheating!
Well, just to play devil's advocate, would anyone on the other team even try to tackle him? Who wants to be known as the kid who tackled someone with Down syndrome? These days, they let anyone and everyone play football. It used to be a serious sport that taught kids discipline and the importance of practicing to get better and good enough for the team. Now, it's "Everyone gets to play equally and no one works hard to be any good."
I enjoy seeing stories like this. It's good to know there are boys out there that know how to be men. Both teams are to be congratulated for not only their display of sportsmanship, but for being men who aren't afraid of being compassionate.

Lt Ky B Putman, 62nd FW, 414th NFS-shot-down Feb.'45
21 Feb. 1945 — Italy
MTO /WWII P-61 Fighter Pilot, Lt Ky B Putnam;
A/C: 42-39508 (P-61) Lockheed Black Widow
Date: 2/21/1945
Group: 62 (62nd Fighter Group)
414th Fighter Squadron
Location: ITALY--2 survivors
Pilot: Lt. Ky B. Putnam
Rad Op: Lt. John E. Marunovich
Lt. Marunovich left us in Oct of 2000; however,
Lt. (now Col.) Ky B. Putnam is still with us,
and I have an e-mail out directly to him.
30 March, 2013 - Agostini Alberti; Hello all of you!
Last January 2012, I incidentally investigated around the loss of an
P-61 Black Widow of the 414th NFS, which occurred on February 21, 1945.
Thanks to Patti, I was able to meet Mr. Ky Putnam, one of the two airmen
aboard the a/c.
Well, last week I was contacted by a man from Bobbio (Piacenza) who told
me he has located the crash-point of a night intruder "Pippo" which
crashed that February 21, 1945.
Also, he has retrieved an old manuscript from a witness of the crash.
The author, a 15 years old chap a that time, saw personally Mr. Putnam
in the so called "cascina Mazzucca", close to Bobbio.
Yesterday, Bob Shank has phoned Mr. Putnam and here is the account of
the phone call.
This sounds amazing... Many, many thanks to all of you! Sincerely, Ago
Dear Ago, Just 2 minutes ago, I was able to speak on the phone with*/ /*former
WWII P-61 pilot, */Ky Putnam, /*in Houston, TX. Yes, the real guy!
Mr Putnam is 89 years old.
He confirmed the information Patti retrieved for you. Their mission in
the P-61 Black Widow that night was to bomb a confirmed fuel repository,
and, to shoot out as many lights as they could to keep the local skies
*/dark! /*for the Germans. Ky also told me that after bailing out, their
P-61 exploded to smithereens, and whatever parts remained were
completely confiscated/stolen by local people - he said there wasn't a
shred of it left (didn't explain to me how he knew that, but I suspect a
later search for the remains turned up no evidence at all). Their
mission took them north of Milano, toward the mountains (you'd know what
those mountains are).
His radar operator, Lt John E. Marinovich (he was specific about the
name), was of Hungarian descent from Aberdeen, Washington, USA, and is
now deceased.
Mr. Putnam still has an intelligible voice and seems to be very keen in
his remembrances of the mission.
I asked if I could call him again in the near future for more details
should you need them. He agreed.
He's a fine gentleman, and I was very pleased to speak with him. I gave
him my Tucson telephone number and my address for further contact and
Ago: how would you like me to procede, if necessary? Any specific
questions you'd like me to ask him?
Signing off for now, Your Arizona friend, ~Bob Shank

I'd say which stroke you should use depends on the given conditions. If its flat it doesn't make much difference but if its sloppy, choppy or gnarly, it does. Paying attention to the waves and timing your breathing accordingly is important. For me freestyle (or crawl as I learned it) is the preferred stroke mainly because its efficient, I like it and I'm good at it.
If I'm swimming from the beach out to the line up, ie against the direction of the waves, no matter what the conditions are, its freestyle because you can smoothly dive a wave. If I'm swimming in to the beach I usually use breast because wave direction is at your back and if a wave breaks over your head its no big deal. If I'm swimming parallel to the beach, outside of the impact zone, its whatever I feel like.
Some years back I snapped my leash on a big NE swell in like late March on an ugly wipeout. It was breaking a good ways off the beach that day so I was a long way out. The first thought through my head was, sheeeeeet how long is it going to take me to get in, because I had been out for a while and was starting to lose body temp. So I started swimming freestyle and I quickly found that the amount of rubber I had on was very inhibiting to that stroke. At that point I'll admit to being a bit scared. I then turned to a vigorous side stroke which was much easier to do. After a while I realized that vigorous wasn't necessary because the push of the fetch was moving me along a lot faster than I thought.
Anybody that wants to play in water over their head should be able to swim and IMO every surfer should be able to swim a good 100 yds in any conditions they are willing to surf in.
Just for a laugh try paddling your board butterfly, its interesting.

HOUSTON - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, West Nile virus, which is spread through mosquito bites, can be fended off by emptying containers that may collect rainwater and sprinkler water. Also, use insect repellent, especially when going out in the evening.
To help eliminate mosquito-breeding sites and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, residents should do the following:
- Wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts when outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.
- Use insect repellent that contains DEET. Children should use insect repellents that contain less than 10 percent DEET. Do not apply DEET on babies. Adults should use insect repellents that contain more than 10 percent DEET.
- Make sure screens on windows and doors are in good condition.
- Keep storm sewers clean to reduce mosquito breeding.
- Sweep up lawn clippings, leaves and limbs from sidewalks, driveways, curbs and gutters.
- Don't let lawn water or car-washing water enter the street.
- Pick up litter and other debris from the yard and the street.
- Keep mosquitoes out of the house.
- Keep doors and windows closed.
- Seal cracks and gaps in the house.
- If mosquitoes are in the house, use flying insect spray, following label instructions.
- Empty, remove or dispose of anything in the yard that can hold water: flower pot saucers, cans, toys, litter, rain barrels, plastic sheeting, etc. Adult mosquitoes can hatch in 10 days in warm weather. Mosquitoes become infected and transmit WNV after feeding on birds carrying the virus. Within 10 to 14 days, the mosquito can transmit the virus to humans and horses.
- Pet water bowls and birdbaths should be emptied and refilled at least twice a week.
- Keep rain gutters on the house clean and properly draining.
- Repair household water leaks and move air-conditioner drain hoses frequently.
West Nile Virus Symptoms In Humans
- Flu-like illness, with moderate to high fever
- Headache
- Muscle weakness or joint pain
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Possible seizures
- Paralysis
- Respiratory symptoms
West Nile Virus Symptoms In Animals
- Loss of appetite
- Depression
- Fever
- Weakness
- Convulsions

A WOMAN had to be cut out from the wreckage of a car after it was in collision with a lorry on the East Lancs earlier this afternoon.
The woman, thought to be aged in her 50s, was lifted from the Renault Megane on a long stretcher before being taken to hospital.
Firefighters had cut away the roof of the car to free her. She was taken to Whiston Hospital, though at this stage her injuries are not believed to be serious
Initial reports suggested two women had been cut free but Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said in a statement on Tuesday that the second woman had been assessed at the scene.
The crash happened shortly after 2.30pm near to the dual carriageway's junction with Carr Mill Road, opposite the Waterside pub
Fire crews were on the scene until nearly 4pm. Road closures caused considerable traffic congestion around St Helens through Monday afternoon.
A LORRY has been in collision with a car on the East Lancs Road opposite the Waterside pub at Carr Mill leading to traffic tailbacks.
One lane has been closed and emergency services are at the scene. It is understood that two women were in the car but at this stage there are no reports of any injuries.
The incident is affecting traffic between St Helens and Leigh.

On the front porch of an old Coast Guard station on Appledore Island, seven miles off the southern coast of Maine, Thomas Seeley and I sat next to 6,000 quietly buzzing bees. Seeley wore a giant pair of silver headphones over a beige baseball cap, a wild fringe of hair blowing out the back; next to him was a video camera mounted on a tripod. In his right hand, Seeley held a branch with a lapel microphone taped to the end. He was recording the honeybee swarm huddling inches away on a board nailed to the top of a post.
From This Story
Related Content
Seeley, a biologist from Cornell University, had cut a notch out of the center of the board and inserted a tiny screened box called a queen cage. It housed a single honeybee queen, along with a few attendants. Her royal scent acted like a magnet on the swarm.
If I had come across this swarm spread across my back door, I would have panicked. But here, sitting next to Seeley, I felt a strange calm. The insects thrummed with their own business. They flew past our faces. They got caught in our hair, pulled themselves free and kept flying. They didn't even mind when Seeley gently swept away the top layer of bees to inspect the ones underneath. He softly recited a poem by William Butler Yeats:
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
A walkie-talkie on the porch rail chirped.
"Pink bee headed your way," said Kirk Visscher, an entomologist at the University of California, Riverside. Seeley, his gaze fixed on the swarm, found the walkie-talkie with his left hand and brought it to his mouth.
"We wait with bated breath," he said.
"Sorry?" Visscher said.
"Breath. Bated. Over." Seeley set the walkie-talkie back on the rail without taking his eyes off the bees.
A few minutes later, a honeybee scout flew onto the porch and alighted on the swarm. She (all scouts are female) wore a pink dot on her back.

This article is interesting but certainly not conclusive in the respective outcome of added radiation after a resection. 2,591 cases were sorted into surgery, radiotherapy, surgery and radiation or not any of the above treatment. It also, does not specify as to whether chemotherapy was used. It is however, noteworthy to bring to the attention of the physician.

Dairy cows that are fed flaxseed produced more nutritious milk, according to a new study from Oregon State University.
Ten pregnant cows at the university dairy farm were fed different amounts of flaxseed – up to 7 percent of their daily diet. Researchers attempted to pinpoint the amount of flaxseed that would maximize the amount of omega-3 in milk and dairy products without negatively affecting their production and texture.
Results show that feeding cows up to 6 pounds of extruded flaxseed improved the fat profile without negatively affecting the production and texture of the milk and other dairy products.
At 6 pounds per day, saturated fatty acids in whole milk fat dropped 18 percent, poly-unsaturated fatty acids increased 82 percent, and omega-3 levels rose 70 percent compared to feeding no flaxseed. Similar improvements were observed in butter and cheese.

Me: HAHAHA So glad you actually stopped taking selfies long enough to realize you were invaded with the people you wanted, illegal, system suckers that you will have to pay for now. Too bad so sad for your bleeding heart that you better not complain when you can't afford it anymore. If you do, you are RACIST.
