When Sacred Heart-Griffin High School scored four runs Saturday morning in the top of the first inning of its Class 3A SHG Sectional baseball game with Normal University � against a U-High starter who came in with an 0-2 record and an 11.05 ERA � it wasn�t only the Cyclones� faithful who were thinking blowout.
But the Cinderella Pioneers were not going down without a fight, not after what they have been through this season.
But thanks to the strong right arms of Mitch Trees and Connor Etheridge, the Cyclones won 6-3 and earned a spot in Monday�s Sauget Supersectional against Mascoutah. But it was far from as easy as SHG made it look in the first when the Cyclones got four hits and made the most of three U-High errors to build a lead.
�Kind of where we�re at you have a bad first inning and it�s 4-0 and somebody says, �That�s bad,�� U-High coach Jim Collins said. �And I say compared to what?
�We had kids that had to go to the visitation and funeral of their assistant coach. When somebody says they�re having a bad day we just say compared to what?�
Dealing with tragedy
Pioneers assistant coach Michael Collins, the son of the head coach, was killed March 29 in an auto accident involving an alleged drunken driver. U-High also lost its No. 1 starting pitcher Travis Auer to Tommy John surgery before the season.
�We�re really happy to come out with the victory, but the story about the Pioneers this year is just unbelievable,� SHG coach Mike Eck said. �Coach Collins and what he has brought his kids through is the biggest story here today, I think.�
After Cole Daily doubled over the head of the left fielder to start the game and Conor White was hit by a pitch, Daily broke for third on a wild pitch. Catcher Zach Frey threw the ball into left field, allowing both runners to score.
Trees walked, and losing pitcher McLean Conklin made an error on a pickoff attempt at first, permitting Trees to take second. Steve Sartore singled in the run to make it 3-0, and after another errant pickoff try by Conklin. Nolan Aherin had an RBI single.
But the Pioneers (25-13) scored three times off Etheridge in the second on Tyler May�s bases-loaded double to right field.
�I guarantee there wasn�t person in this ballpark when it was 4-0 and we�re throwing it all over the place (who thought) that this game would be 4-3 late and we�d have some chances to win,� Collins said. �We picked a bad day to make some plays that are a little uncharacteristic of us.�
It was still 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth when May reached on an infield error and Kyler Ummel singled.
Big play
After Eck went to the mound to talk to his team, U-High�s No. 4 hitter Austin Galindo squared around to bunt. Etheridge threw a high fastball that Trees caught and fired a strike to Daily at second, picking May off base.
�I knew we had to get an out,� said Trees. �They were going to bunt there so I figured we�d get a high fastball and maybe catch him leaning toward third. So we did.�
�I think Tyler saw the pitch going high,� Collins said. �He thought maybe it�s going to the screen. He takes a little bit . . . and that�s all that kid (Trees) needs, he just needs an inch.
�The catcher�s got to jump a little bit. That ball goes to the screen it�s second and third. Instead he catches it and makes a big play. That�s a huge play. Would we have won? Nobody knows. But that�s a huge play.�
�They go from first and second and no outs and runner on first, and then there�s a (double-play) ground ball and I�m out of it,� Etheridge said. �He�s something to watch defensively.�
Trees also picked U-High�s Ryan Scott off first base for the second out of the sixth inning.
And then it was up to Etheridge, who improved to 13-0.
�I don�t think he was on his �A� game,� Trees said. �His command was there, but he wasn�t the Connor you see on a good day. But he got the win and that�s all we needed.�
�I definitely didn�t have my best stuff,� said Etheridge. �But I pitched effectively toward the end. I had to be a pitcher and not a thrower.�
It helped that he had a catcher who�s a pretty good thrower.

This framework was designed to provide a consistent model in which to introduce new executives into the SES and to maximize executive effectiveness. It is a flexible framework allowing adjustments that adhere to specific agency rules, policies, procedures and needs.
While the terms onboarding and orientation are sometimes used interchangeably they are notably different. Nevertheless, they are both critical processes in the successul assimilation of new hires. Here are some important distinctions between the two:
Strategic with an impact on bottom-line results
Evolving and progressive
An ongoing process
An event
Used for transferred and promoted employees, as well as new hires
Is most often limited to new employees
Delivers information that is unique and customized to the individual employee and is generally handed out on an as-needed basis
Delivers information that is common to all new hires usually within a classroom setting
Has a long-term focus, and can last up to a year or more
Is a short term program, typically lasting from one day to two weeks
The sooner a new employee experiences the benefits of a comprehensive and well-implemented orientation and onboarding program, the sooner the employee will become a contributing member of that organization.
Executive onboarding is acquiring, accommodating, assimilating and accelerating new leaders into the organizational culture and business1. The best onboarding strategies will provide a fast track to meaningful, productive work and strong employee relationships2 and be tailored specifically to the needs of the individual. Executive onboarding should be strategic, so that it not only prevents executive derailment, but expedites the executive's contribution to optimize strategic achievement. Getting on Board: A Model for Integrating and Engaging New Employees is a report created from a study conducted by the Partnership for Public Service (PPS) and Booz Allen Hamilton in 2008. The study states that successfully onboarding employees during their first year of service increases engagement, raises retention by as much as 25 percent, improves performance and hastens the time to full productivity.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recognizes the value of ongoing assimilation into an organization and so includes a year-long orientation process among the five components of its new End-to-End (E2E) Hiring Roadmap. Though not specifically geared toward leadership positions, the E2E Hiring Roadmap can be used to help assure federal agencies recruit and retain the top talent they need to meet the complex challenges of the 21st century.
Onboarding of key executives is even more critical than it is for other employees because of the significantly greater performance expectations leaders face and the greater impace they have on the overall performance of the organization. Some federal agencies like the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) have established very comprehensive onboarding programs for their employees and their executives. Other agencies with executive onboarding programs are the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
Agencies need onboarding solutions that address three types of new SES:
What are other agencies doing to onboard their executives?
Use the links below to access agency-specific Executive Onboarding Program information. Established best practices from other Government organizations can be shared and tailored to meet your agency's needs.
SES 101 was an hour long session designed for executives who have been in the SES less than three years. Topic areas included:
Flash Mentoring was a one-hour session that immediately followed SES 101. I thought of the idea of offering flash mentoring after some past conversations with Scott Derrick at DoD (see blog post - http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/mentoring-in-a-flash. He developed flash mentoring for members of the Senior Executive Association (information on SEA's website: http://www.seniorexecs.org/index.php?id=285 when he worked there and at another organization he was a part of (13L). I decided to modify the concept for a seminar environment to be more like speed mentoring. Some particulars:
Agencies can also look to the private sector for best practices in executive onboarding. Here are a few examples of innovative practices:
New hires from outside the company enter a different onboarding track than those hired from within the company. Internal hires are also onboarded differently according to their key skill gaps, of which the company is already aware, as a result of their performance management process. Other best practices include providing an external onboarding coach who collects and uses business/organizational data anonymously to develop Onboarding development charter that outlines transition leadership priorities, stakeholder relationship map and individualized dashboard;
(What can I learn to help me refresh my knowledge base and add value?)
As a result of a collaborative effort with the Senior Executive Associaiton, the Partnership for Public Service and experienced and newer SES members, OPM developed a Governmentwide Executive Onboarding Framework and Executive Onboarding Manual. These documents are tools to assist agencies in creating a business case for and ultimately implementing an executive onboarding program for their new leaders.Please contact Cheryl Ndunguru (firstname.lastname@example.com) for copies of the framework and manual. The framework and manual will be posted shortly.
(What other tools and resources including guides, articles and websites are available to me?)
There are many resources through the internet, webinars, books, training and other media that provide good instruction on developing a comprehensive executive onboarding program. Here are a few:
The following questions were asked of Navy's Executive onboarding program:
Studies demonstrate the success of incoming executives largely depend on the following:
This is how NSF addresses (or intends to address) this within their executive onboarding program:

Local authorities are searching for a runaway teenager, last seen more than a week ago.
Local authorities are searching for a runaway teenager, last seen more than a week ago.
Petrina Andreah Dolon, 14, reportedly ran away from Seneca High School after classes ended for the day on Nov. 14.
No foul play is suspected, but Seneca Police Chief James Altic said it was determined that Dolon had lied about where she was going after school.
"She arranged her own get-away," he said.
Altic said it is uncertain if someone picked her up at the school, or if she walked to a residence or other pick up point. He said authorities have been unable to track down a known former boyfriend.
Family members say she may be in the Neosho, Granby or Goodman area, though Altic said police have so far not been able to locate her at any of the likely places.
Dolon was currently living in foster care in Seneca, though Neosho is her home. She has run away from foster care before, family members say.
Dolon is described as standing 5 feet, two inches, weighs between 105 and 110 pounds,and has brown hair and brown eyes. She is Caucasian.
Anyone with any information regarding Dolon's whereabouts is urged to please call the Newton County Sheriff's Department at 451-8300 or any local law enforcement agency.

At the onset of puberty he was aghast that his dreams shifted to something altogether different than men in underpants.These artists must have been going through puberty too. Look at the attention to the cross-hatching on the girls' most sensitive swollen aching areas. You gotta see the insides of these comics to believe them!
Poor Archie had a hard time adjusting to this new stage in his life. Can you believe this stuff was on the newsstands in front of decent American kids of the 1940s?
This has to be one of the itchiest lumpiest drawing styles in history. It's amazing that the comics survived past this fetal stage of development. Maybe because they had all the characters and their relationships figured out right from the beginning -even though they were lumpy.
The girls retained lumps only in the places we like them to be lumpy. They are cute in a puppet-like googly eyed way.
Archie's pimples eventually evolved into ringworm.
Harry Lucey is my favorite Archie artist because he has an awkward yet really human style. He isn't trying for perfect balance in his poses and design. Instead he goes for a more fleshy life-like quality. His girls are the most feminine because of their slight awkwardness and always have a veneer of filth in their poses and attitudes. This was a guaranteed formula for success - aiming stories and drawings about teenage sexual tension at teeny-boppers.
Lucey's girls stand and pose like real girls - slightly off-balance.
He avoids difficult poses and when he needs to bend the characters, just takes the same 3/4 head and torso he would draw on a straight on eye-level shot and tilts it on an angle like a flash cartoon. Very wooden.Here's a DeCarlo action pose - all limbs and body parts in straight lines bent in 90% angles.
He does have quite a talent for interesting outfits and designs.
It's strange that this stiff wooden simple style has since influenced super-hero cartoons, which by their inherent nature should be meaty, muscular and dynamic.
I like Archie during its heyday of the late 40s to the early 60s. It is a kind of generic style, but a very appealing one and it aims directly at true humanity. Today's generic is aiming at aliens from space. You have to learn to accept it and get used to it, whereas Archie appealed to universal urges. You don't have to be trained to read cute pictures of pretty girls constantly tempting and frustrating "America's Typical Teenager".
I'll put some stuff up from each artist soon.
I got these images from this great site that's full of old comic book covers:
If you know some of the artists here I couldn't identify, let me know!

- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapNew England Patriots (12-4)Tom Brady and the New England Patriots looked ready to make another Super Bowl run this year, even without tight end Rob Gronkowski, who broke his arm in week 11. The Patriots won nine of their last 10 games and wrapped up another AFC East title. They earned the No. 2 seed and a bye in the first week of the playoffs. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapMiami Dolphins (7-9)The Miami Dolphins surprised a lot of people when they selected Ryan Tannehill in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. The Dolphins improved by one win over their 2011 season but only won two of their six divisional games. (Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapNew York Jets (6-10)In the past offseason, the Jets signed quarterback Mark Sanchez and wide received Santonio Holmes to contract extensions, hired Tony Sparano to turn Sanchez into a franchise QB and traded for QB Tim Tebow. None of that seemed to help. Holmes and CB Darrelle Revis suffered season-ending injuries. Sanchez remained inconsistent, leading to calls for a QB change, which came late in the season. Tebow never saw much action. The Jets limped to the finish, and GM Mike Tannenbaum and Tony Sparano were fired. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapBuffalo Bills (6-10)In the last offseason, the Bills signed DE Mario Williams to a six-year, $100 million deal, and extended Ryan Fitzpatrick's contract another six years. Those deals weren't enough to prevent another disappointing season. The Bills ranked 25th in passing yards and 31st in rushing defense. Head coach, Chan Gailey, was fired at the end of the season, and Ralph Wilson relinquished control of the team. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapBaltimore Ravens (10-6)The Ravens lost their team leader, Ray Lewis, to an elbow injury in week six. He remained on injured reserve for the rest of the season and has since announced his retirement. Quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice carried the team to the playoffs though offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, was fired in December. The Ravens won the AFC North and earned the conference's fourth seed. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapCincinnati Bengals (10-6)Quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 3,669 yards and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for over a 1,000 yards this season. The Bengals lost just two games in the second half of the season, rallying to earn a playoff spot for the second straight year. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapPittsburgh Steelers (8-8)The Pittsburgh Steelers once again had the best defense in the NFL, ranking 1st in passing defense and 2nd in rushing defense. But Ben Roethlisberger continued to be the story in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger suffered a rib injury that sidelined him for three games, two of which the Steelers lost. In week 15 and 16 Roethlisberger threw two late interceptions, giving up the game and dropping the Steelers to a .500 season. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapCleveland Browns (5-11)The Cleveland Browns selected Trent Richardson in the 2012 NFL Draft. Although part of one of the best quarterback draft classes in years, he couldn't do enough to help the Browns. They started the season with five straight losses and and never recovered. The Browns lost several key players to injury including Colt McCoy and Josh Cribbs. (Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapHouston Texans (12-4)The Houston Texans looked like the team to beat in the AFC, winning 12 of their first 14 games. However, the Texans lost their final two games, dropped to the number three seed and failed to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The team appears to be in a bit of a rut as it enters the post season. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapIndianapolis Colts (11-5)In the offseason last year, the Colts released future hall of fame quarterback Peyton Manning, who was injured for the whole 2011 season, and drafted Andrew Luck. That move immediately paid dividends as Luck broke the NFL rookie passing record. He also led the Colts to a winning season and returned them to the playoffs as a wildcard. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapTennessee Titans (6-10)All the talk this past offseason was about whether running back Chris Johnson would come back to play with the Titans. He finally signed a contract extension worth $53.5 million. But the signing didn't pay off too well as Johnson proved very inconsistent. The Titans defense gave up an average of 127 yards rushing and 247 yards passing per game. The team heads into the offseason looking to make improvements on both sides of the ball. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapJacksonville JaguarsThe Jacksonville Jaguars season mercifully came to an end on Sunday. The Jaguars ranked near the bottom in almost every statistical category in the NFL. The team lost their starting quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, to an elbow injury in November and finished tied for the worst record in the league. The team has earned the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL draft but will have a new GM to make that pick after firing Gene Smith. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapDenver Broncos (13-3)Looking for a team in the offseason, Peyton Manning decided the Denver Broncos were the best fit. And he was right. Manning proved he still has what it takes to be an elite quarterback, even after missing the entire 2011 season. He passed for over 4,600 yards and threw 37 touchdowns. The Broncos finished the season tied for the best record in the NFL. They head into the playoffs with an 11-game winning streak and a first-round bye. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapSan Diego Chargers (7-9)The San Diego Chargers entered the season looking to get back into the playoffs. Phillip Rivers and the team suffered a three and a four-game losing streak in the middle of season that proved too much to overcome. The Chargers finished the season (7-9) and head into the offseason without a head coach. Norv Turner was among the coaches fired on Black Monday. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapOakland Raiders (4-12)Carson Palmer and the Oakland Raiders were hoping to get back to the playoffs after a 10-year drought. Those hopes were quickly dashed with four losses in the first six weeks. Palmer put up some respectable passing numbers this season, but the Raiders had no ground game to compliment his aerial attack. At the end of the season, the Raiders fired the offensive coordinators and three other assistant coaches. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapKansas City Chiefs (2-14)No team in the league had a worse season than the Kansas City Chiefs, posting just two wins. Their starting quarterback, Matt Cassel, was injured half way through, and the fans cheered his injury. The Chiefs also saw LB Jevon Belcher take his own life. At the end of season, head coach Romeo Crennel was fired, though General Manager, Scott Pioli, managed to keep his job. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapWashington Redskins (10-6)The Washington Redskins selected Robert Griffin III as the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, trading away multiple future draft picks to do so. Questioned by some, this move has revitalized the team, the organization and the fanbase. Griffin proved he can win games with his arm and his legs, making smart decisions in the process. He led the Redskins back to the NFL Playoffs after a 13-year drought. (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapNew York Giants (9-7)After winning the Super Bowl last year, the Giants lost some key players to free agency. Still they started their season (6-2) and enjoyed a two-game advantage in the NFC East. But that lead evaporated in the second half of the season. The team was particularly inconsistent, blowing out playoff contenders one week and losing to mediocre teams the next. Ultimately it's this inconsistency that has the Giants staying home during the playoffs. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapDallas Cowboys (8-8)The Dallas Cowboys had an up and down 2012 season. In week 13 the Cowboys started a three-game winning streak and looked poised to win the NFC East. They entered week 17 with a win-and-you're-in scenario. But Tony Romo couldn't overcome the surging Redskins, failing again to win the big game. (Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapPhiladelphia Eagles (4-12)Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said before the season started that he wanted to see an improvement or he would make some changes. The Eagles started the season with three wins in the first four weeks, then went on an eight-game losing streak. That sealed Andy Reid's fate. After 14 years on the Eagles sideline, Reid was fired, and the Eagles will start a new era. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapGreen Bay Packers (11-5)After a (15-1) record last season, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers came back down to earth in the 2012 season. They did pick up another NFC North title. And Rodgers did finish the season with 4,295 yards and 39 touchdowns, well below his 2011 MVP numbers. The Packers earned the No. 3 seed and will host their division rival the Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round of the playoffs. (Photo by Tom Lynn /Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapMinnesota Vikings (10-6)This season for the Minnesota Vikings was all about Adrian Peterson, who came back from knee surgery to lead the team to a (10-6) record. He also came within nine yards of Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. The team rallied to win their final four games of the season, including a last-minute victory over the division-rival Green Bay Packers in week 17, to earn a playoff berth. (Photo by Andy Clayton King/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapChicago Bears (10-6)The Chicago Bears started the season (7-1) and were thought to be Super Bowl contenders. But the Bears went just (3-5) the rest of the season and put their playoff hopes on the Green Bay Packers beating the Vikings in the final game. That didn't happen, and the Bears missed the playoffs. Head coach, Lovie Smith, was subsequently fired. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapDetroit Lions (4-12)The Lions entered the 2012 season looking to compete with the Packers and Vikings for the NFC North title. And the team had reason to believe it could, with many weapons on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Calvin Johnson proved to be the only reliable threat, breaking Jerry Rice's single-season receiving yardage record and finishing 36 yards shy of 2000. The Lions season was a bust otherwise, and poor coaching decisions by Jim Schwartz cost the team on multiple occasions. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapAtlanta Falcons (13-3)Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons were on a roll from week one. They started out the season with an eight-game winning streak and finished the season tied for the best record in the NFL. The Falcons earned the number one seed and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapCarolina Panthers (7-9)Quarterback Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers had a tale of two seasons this year. The Panthers started out with just one win in the first eight weeks, essentially eliminating themselves from playoff contention by mid-season. But the team came on strong late, finishing with a four-game winning streak. Newton was the team's top rusher with 741 yards. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapNew Orleans Saints (7-9)In the 2012 offseason, the New Orleans Saints were at the center of "Bountygate," which resulted in the suspension of several defensive players and head coach, Sean Peyton. The Saints started the season with four losses and never really climbed back into contention. Drew Brees and the Saints' defense set two NFL records: Brees for surpassing the 5,000-yard mark for the third time in his career and the Saints' defense for giving up the most yards in a season. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapTampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)Coming off a (4-12) season, the Bucs hired Rutgers head coach, Greg Schiano, to turn the team into a winning franchise. They also signed wide receiver Vincent Jackson to give young quarterback Josh Freeman a big passing target. Freeman improved as a quarterback, and the Bucs seemed poised to make a playoff run. But a five-game losing streak late in the season dispelled any dreams of playing in the post season. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapSan Francisco 49ers (11-4-1)Alex Smith started the season as the 49ers quarterback. He was injured in week 10 and missed the following game as well. So head coach, Jim Harbaugh, started backup Colin Kaepernick. He stuck with Kaepernick for the remainder of the season, even after Smith was cleared to play. The 49ers captured their second straight NFC West title and earned the NFC's No. 2 seed in the playoffs. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapSeattle Seahawks (11-5)With the 75th pick in the 2012 draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected quarterback Russell Wilson from Wisconsin. Wilson proved to be a great pick leading the team to multiple high-scoring victories and tying Peyton Manning's rookie record for the most touchdown passes with 26. The Seahawks made the playoffs as a wildcard and face the Washington Redskins and RG3. (Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapSt. Louis Rams (7-8-1)Despite playing good division rivals tough - most notably the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks - Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams had a mediocre season. The Rams traveled to London to play in the annual NFL in London game at Wembley Stadium, losing to the Patriots 45-7. (Photo by Kevin Casey/Getty Images)
- 2012 NFL Regular Season RecapArizona Cardinals (5-11)This year's quarterback carousel happened in Arizona, where head coach, Ken Whisenhunt, started four different players at the position. The Cardinals managed four straight wins to start the season with Kevin Kolb at the helm. But he went down in week six, and the Cardinals started their downward spiral after that. The subsequent nine-game losing streak, with the three other starting QBs, resulted in Whisenhunt's firing at the end of the season. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

How Might Having Malignant Mesothelioma Affect Your Emotional Health?
During and after treatment, you may find yourself overcome with many different emotions. This happens to a lot of people.
You may find yourself thinking about death and dying. Or maybe you're more aware of the effect the cancer has on your family, friends, and career. You may take a new look at your relationships with those around you. Unexpected issues may also cause concern. For instance, you might be stressed by financial concerns resulting from your treatment. You might also see your health care team less often after treatment and have more time on your hands. These changes can make some people anxious.
Almost everyone who is going through or has been through cancer can benefit from getting some type of support. You need people you can turn to for strength and comfort. Support can come in many forms: family, friends, cancer support groups, religious or spiritual groups, online support communities, or one-on-one counselors. What's best for you depends on your situation and personality. Some people feel safe in peer-support groups or education groups. Others would rather talk in an informal setting, such as church. Others may feel more at ease talking one-on-one with a trusted friend or counselor. Whatever your source of strength or comfort, make sure you have a place to go with your concerns.
The cancer journey can feel very lonely. It's not necessary or good for you to try to deal with everything on your own. And your friends and family may feel shut out if you don't include them. Let them in, and let in anyone else who you feel may help. If you aren't sure who can help, call your American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 and we can put you in touch with a group or resource that may work for you. See the Coping With Cancer section of our website for more about the emotional side effects of cancer.

TUSCALOOSA | The "interim" label has been stripped away from the city of Tuscaloosa's new director of the Office of Federal Programs.
LaParry Howell, who has served as the office's interim director since the city's Office of Economic Development was realigned last year, on Friday was named director of the office that oversees state and federal funding through offices and programs such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the HOME Investment Partnership program and the Community Development Block Grant program.
"I truly consider this as an honor. I never imagined at the age of 32 that I would be where I am in my career," Howell said. "My strong passion and desire for helping people and enriching communities has shaped my career path and helped me get to where I am today. For that, I am truly grateful."
Hailing from Frankville in Washington County, Howell came to Tuscaloosa to attend the University of Alabama, from which he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and master's degree in public administration.
Howell came to City Hall in 2004 as a city planner in the Office of Planning and Economic Development under Bill Snowden, the office's former director.
He later was named community development program manager, where he managed the city's Community Development Block Grant Program, which included strategic planning of yearly projects, until the Office of Planning and Economic Development was realigned after Snowden's resignation last year.
Since then, Howell has served as the interim director of the newly-created Office of Federal Programs, a role that allowed him to witness a shrink in funding for the city's federal-based programs despite constant, if not rising, demand.
These challenges did not deter Howell from seeking the director's office, however, and he was chosen for the position from a pool of 39 applicants.
"Although federal resources for community development are limited and insufficient to address all of the needs in most areas, we are working and will continue to work daily to address the highest needs of the community through more public involvement," Howell said.
Mayor Walt Maddox, who made the final decision to hire Howell for the directorship, expressed no doubts in Howell's capabilities to lead the office.
"LaParry has been very successful while serving as acting director, receiving praise from our community and HUD for his leadership," the mayor said. "I'm confident he will continue to lead this program to continued success."

The Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system has been in the planning stage for 20 years now.
The Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system has been in the planning stage for 20 years now.
And the federal government is no closer than it has ever been to taking real action on building the most critical flood-protection project this region has on the books.
Fortunately, considerable progress has been made. But that progress has been the work of state and local officials in spite of official inaction on the part of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The corps is now wrapping up yet another study of the project, which has now grown to 98 miles of levee at an estimated cost of some $12.9 billion.
The pattern is familiar to longtime observers of the process. The project has been in the works since 1992, and has been the subject of $70 million worth of studies.
It has been authorized by Congress and the corps, but because of such long bureaucratic delays, the cost ballooned far beyond its original estimates.
Now the corps has added significantly to the scope of the project, and the cost has gone up astronomically.
On Thursday, the federal agency took some public comments on Morganza, and people were understandably suspicious.
Corps officials said they are trying to find ways to decrease the cost by as much as 20 percent, but they will not budge on the design requirements that have driven some of the cost increase.
To the people whose homes and businesses are increasingly vulnerable to future storms, the situation is dire and demands immediate attention. To the corps, apparently, this is a decades-long process that can go back and forth from south Louisiana to Washington, D.C., time and again with no appreciable progress.
That isn't good enough.
Fortunately, the Terrebonne Levee District is leading the way on real work on this vital project. Voters in Terrebonne Parish have twice passed tax measures to pay for the local work, and levees are being built.
Meanwhile, the corps is collecting input on its latest studies.
People turned out on Thursday to do just that, but even if you couldn't attend, you can offer your comments to Nathan Dayan, environmental manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O. Box 60267, New Orleans, La., 70160-0267 or by email at email@example.com. They can also be made by phone at 504-862-2530 or by fax at 504-862-2088. The latest report is online at http://1.usa.gov/ZVel3A.
If you are able to do so, get involved in this process. It is meant to include real voices, and yours are the voices the people in Washington need to hear.
The plan could once again suffer the fate of delay and inaction that has marked its journey so far, but it could one day see some corps progress. When and if that day ever comes, it will be important for the plan to include local voices.
In the meantime, at least, the project has not been forgotten. Work is continuing, as much as is possible with limited local dollars.
One day, perhaps, we will get the federal help we so desperately need and rightly deserve.

threewood14 wrote:How do you prove something? Well that's the thing; you cannot prove something. First off lets start with something we all think is true. For example, we are all under the effects of gravity from the earth. Okay, this theory seems very wild at first, but take a while to think this over...Some people might get it and others may not. Back to example...tell me how you know that there really isn't a monkey sitting at the center of the earth actually controling gravity. He is using invisible strings and advanced technology to keep every grain of dust on the ground. Have you ever been to the center of the earth? How do you know that that is not true. How do you know the center of the earth is molten rock? Have you been there? You cannot prove me wrong. Now remember I am not crazy. I'm pretty sure that gravity has nothing to do with giant primeapes. In other words, there is a high probability that that is indeed false. But that is just the thing. If there is a probability that it is false, then there is a probability that it is true. Okay, so now we say, if we had some special instrument to detect living life forms and we observed the earth, there would be nothing in the center. But how do you know that the machine is inaccurate or the monkey has ways of disguise. Again, this can get really strange, but works under everything. Feel free to argue me back because I love that kind of stuff.
Okay, now lets go to Einstein. How do you know that he wasn't just a lunitic and somehow came up with the theory of relativity. How do you know that? His theories may seem true, but they just may not be. You could argue it with the math. Back to Euclid. But how do you know that he wasnt indeed crazy also. In fact, how do you know that you are not crazy yourself??? You can't really know anything and it boils down to one thing...
For the topic of this website, how do you know how to really speak Lain or Greek. You cannot. How do you know that there wasn't a conspiracy to convinve future civilizations like ours a completetly different history because their history was very embarrassing and they dd not want it to be discovered. How do you know that? I do not think anyone today lived at the time of the Roman Empire to tell us. How do you know that all the writing ever found was just pieces of this conspiracy and we never have found real Latin or Greek material. You don't!
The only thing we can possible know 100 percent is the fact that there is probability of inaccuracy.
Again, I'm not trying to convince you that monkeys rule the center of the earth. I'm not telling you that Einstein and Euclid were crazy. I am not telling you that Lain and Greek are false. I am telling you that there is a chance that those things are not true. Of course to us, they probably are true. Look at the past. People knew that the earth was the center of the universe. We have almost proved them wrong according to my statement.
What do you think of that?
If you begin with the idea I know something and set out to prove it, you will realise that you cannot. If you then begin with the idea I know nothing and set out to prove it, you will realise that you cannot.
Or maybe you just don't know how to prove anything.
If that's the case, then how did you know how to prove that you know nothing?threewood14 wrote:you cannot know anything therefore you cannot know how to prove something
threewood14 wrote:The only thing that we can prove is that we know nothing simply because we cannot prove anything else!
It may or may not be the case that we know something: we simply cannot tell. All, some, or none of our beliefs might happen to be true
I am saying that "knowing" something does not necessarily mean it is universally true, only that you have accepted it as truth.
I can and do understand and/or comprehend the fact or idea that all matter is energy. The fact that I understand that is proof that we can know something and proof that threewood's statement is false.
On a side note, the truth for a human can be changed simply by the way it is viewed. The truth is simply a revised perception that one creates for him or herself, it is all literally a matter of perspective.
The truth is something that has been proven to be or something that is accepted as true.
Firstof all, how do you know that what u are saying is what you mean?
One cannot fully understand his language and therefore cannot be certain to what one is saying.
You could argue that the Anglo Saxons said that these words mean wat they intended, but how do you know that a conspiracy was conducted to change the definitions of their meaning?
The point that i am trying to make is that one cannot fully understand reality.
In order to prove something, you must do trial and error an infinite amount of times. One cannot live forever, so it cannot be done.
And believe me when I say I understand General Relativity.
It states that as ones velocity increases,so does their mass. And it says that the father we are from large bodies,time will affect us moreslowly. You cannot travel the speed of light.
I was just using Einstein's famous quote, "It is all realtive."
My friend in school thought that how could we know that if one viewed someone elses perspective, all of the blues would appear orange to them. So different people see different wavelenghts of light. They could compare colors to something else, but that same color would be used so one cannot know the perspective of anoter.
Pretty interesting i think...
threewood14 wrote:My fourth post but wa teever. You said that since they believe that the sun is a star, it is true for them. But this may not be the actual truth. Therefore it is another way of saying belief. In other words, a belief is something someone accepts is true. So of course somethings are true to some people.
What matters is that the current definitions of English words are true and meaningful. These current definitions are accepted by the English speaking population, rendering them true.
No no no my friend. There are an infinite amount of beliefs. In order for there to be an infinite amount of truths or realities, there would have to be an infinite amount of time dimensions which is almost certainly not the case
it could be that once you believe something, a new universe is instantly created to match your belief. you can't disprove that, can you?
but i think it not relevant to our lives
I could do this forever hence proving that we cannot know nothing!

LeAnna Moller-Little has survived two world wars, the Great Depression, the sinking of the Titanic, 9/11 and a number of other large-scale events.
LeAnna Moller-Little has survived two world wars, the Great Depression, the sinking of the Titanic, 9/11 and a number of other large-scale events.
She has also lived through the passing of her father, some of her sisters and three husbands.
Through it all, she said the world hasn't changed a lot for her in the last 100 years.
"It seems like people are still going to work and getting jobs," she said.
Working has been the one constant thing for Moller-Little. She grew up in McPherson and began working for a resident on Walnut Street when she was an early teen following her father's death. She did this to support her mother and four sisters.
"She was very good to me," she said. "I helped my mother out quite a bit."
Afterward, she lived in other cities and worked in a number of stores.
"I didn't have time to have hobbies," she said. "I had to work all of the time. I've always enjoyed working. I've worked all my life."
But this didn't mean she didn't have time for family. She has a handful of nieces and nephews who still call and visit from time to time.
"They're all very smart, and they call me quite a lot," she said. "They're all very nice to me and come see me when they can."
Niece George Ann Fisher of Missouri speaks very fondly of her aunt and said she was always a good housekeeper.
"Although she never had children, she always considers her nieces and nephews to be very important in her life, and we all knew of her love, care and concern for each of us," she said. "We admired her ability to overcome tragedy and adversity in her life and to always maintain a happy and fun-loving attitude."
She also had three husbands, all of which passed away from illnesses. Her hyphenated last time combines the names of her second and third husbands. Because she had been known as a Moller for so long, when she became a Little, she wanted to keep it.
As she looks forward to her 100th birthday on March 26, Moller-Little can still get around in her wheel chair at the Cedars Nursing Facility by herself.
"I just thank the good Lord," she said. "He has helped me and he still helps me every day."
However, she said she doesn't think about being a century old too often.
"I didn't know I was getting so old," she said. "I take it one day at a time."

Five grants were awarded by the Morehouse Tourism Commission last week. When the idea for awarding grants to encourage tourism into Morehouse Parish first began over a decade ago, more funding was available. Although, funding is less due to economical woes suffered nationwide, making grant awards smaller, the commission encourages grant requests from groups and organizations for projects that will keep Morehouse Parish in the limelight.
Morehouse Parish is unique and offers unique opportunities to visitors, and while not glitzy like Bourbon Street, they are family oriented and geared to appeal to all ages. Morehouse Parish is rural, but close-knit. Over time, with budget cuts and less funding available, the board presiding over the presentation of grants recognizes each project that makes Morehouse Parish better, is a plus. You sprinkle enough sugar on top the cake, and you have icing.
The icing on this grant-period's cake is presented to five organizations promoting Morehouse Parish, each in its own way: Clarklea Garden Club, Rose Theatre, Friends of the MAC, Snyder Museum and Keep Morehouse Beautiful.
Clarklea Garden Club has begun what will be an ongoing project, creating a Walking Trail in Clarklea Subdivision. The walking trail will be paved with lighting, four bridges to allow crossing the ravine that runs through the property, a gazebo, benches, trash receptacles and a woodsy landscape in keeping with the nature of the property, all within the green space set aside for playgrounds when Clarklea subdivision was established. The results will be a safe, clean and aesthetically pleasing environment for people of the city and parish, including visitors, to meet and exercise on a regular basis.
Marilyn Decker explained that the funding from the grant would be dedicated to the purchase of materials for constructing the four bridges and gazebo. She pointed out that the property lies on the south corridor into the city of Bastrop at the city limits sign and is presently unkempt and that benefits of this project will enhance the appearance of the area in addition to adding a much-needed safe area for walking. She said, "To our knowledge, there is no other walking trail in the city."
The Rose Theatre offers a variety of ongoing events, and its grant request will enable the group to present something different from the usual fare. Sara Holley and Ron Carter explained that since the Rose was once a movie theatre, the idea of a "Movie a Month" series seems quite natural. It will provide an enjoyable, inexpensive entertainment option to the community, filling a void in our region by presenting movie classics, family favorites, and arts films such as live stage musicals, ballet, operas, and independent films. On the immediate agenda will be Grease (1978) in March, Gone with the Wind (1939) in April, Dirty Dancing (1987) in May, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly (1967) in June and Top Gun (1986) in July. These films include several dramas; a western and a musical, to kick-start the project.
Holley and Carter stressed that promoting this project will positively affect local businesses such as restaurants, gasoline stations, and retail shops, because the advertising campaign will attract new theatergoers from the surrounding area, thus providing additional sales in a variety of businesses.
Holley said, "Audience members eat before the shows, cast members buy gas, eat and shop here, and the theatre has a practice of buying at home whenever possible." Carter added, "Projects and activities at the Rose have been shown to make a positive impact on the lives of the citizens of Morehouse Parish, attributing to some of what makes it such an inspiring place to live and work."
Friends of the MAC (Morehouse Activity Center) have put Morehouse on the map in a most positive manner. A long time in the making, since the MAC has become a reality, it has done nothing but good and more good. A modern, covered arena, it has been used for rodeos, barrel races, team roping, bull riding, a three-day youth bull riding school, concerts, arts and crafts, flea markets, livestock shows, 4-H Club Safety Day training, a circus, and more.
Approximately 10,000 people have attended these various events. The amenities include an office, restrooms, conference room, and concession stand, and an adjacent building housing 175 horse stalls, horse wash racks and restrooms with showers.
Buddy Savage and Jimmy Christmas presented the grant request, stressing the need of a copier and computer for the office, to advertise in our local newspaper and magazines to better reach out-of-state people, and also requested a portion be devoted to prize money awarded––some of which will go to the Margie Worley Memorial Scholarship Barrel Run. Funds generated from this barrel run go into a scholarship fund for area youth.
The Snyder Museum and Creative Arts Center has developed a pictorial display using existing photos from its permanent collection to enhance its Timeline by visually bringing to life the development of Morehouse Parish. Twelve scenes from the past were selected to coincide with the museum's Timeline by Wes Helbling, Walter Bonner and Joe Cooper Rolfe, local historians.
Funding granted the museum will be paramount in the preservation of displaying these photographic Timelines. Madeline Herring said, "The museum's request for assistance will enable the creation of a pictorial display featuring reproduced selected scenes, matting and framing, and also, most vital when dealing with photographs, the installation of UV tinting to give more protected display area that will allow for more permanent exhibit space."
The Morehouse Beautification Inc. dba Keep Morehouse Beautiful has again partnered with Chemin-A-Haut State Park to clean up debris on Chemin-A-Haut Creek and Bayou Bartholomew in preparation for "Boating' on the Bayou" and for kayak paddling trails. This particular funding request is to purchase six kayaks, eight paddles, and two life jackets that will add to the project of having regular paddling trips down Chemin-A-Haut Creek and Bayou Bartholomew. The organization also supports the "Dutch Oven Society" by bringing visitors to their Saturday cookout event. The kayak paddling trails and "Boatin' on the Bayou" is already attracting tourists to the area. Chemin-A-Haut State Park is one of the finest parks in the whole state of Louisiana.
"Boatin' on the Bayou" is scheduled for May 4, dependent on water level of the creek and bayou. A cleanup will be held at the park April 6. "Once the National Parks Service has publicized the paddling trail, tourists will come from all over the country," spokesperson, Vicki Carpenter said, adding, "Together, the regional and the national attraction to kayaking should have a major impact on tourism in Morehouse Parish."

The Imaginary Foundation is a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination. They hold dear a belief in human potential and seek progress in all directions. The small clandestine team is headed up by the mysterious "Director", a 70-something Uber-intellectual whose father founded the Dadaist movement. Avoiding direct publicity, the team has sought clothing as an unlikely vehicle for bringing their ideas beyond the academic realm and into popular culture.
In his vision for the Imaginary Foundation, the Director knew that the human mind has more than one mode; that indeed it has an "ecology" of being. He knew that imagination, intuition, inspiration are basic to psyche. A philosophy of research began to form: imagination as fundamental to all learning; artistic making as a model of integrating vision, materials, structure, and imagery. "What makes true vision is the poetry of life and the richness of nature." Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Watch Oklahoma State's Malika Rose play on the same court with Sloane Stephens, tennis' newest young star, and you might not know the difference.
Rose, a senior from Miramar, Fla., is arguably the face of the OSU women's tennis program. She has been the driving force behind the team's second consecutive NCAA Tournament berth, and just led the Cowgirls to their best regular season finish since 2007.
On the other side of the spectrum, Stephens is the sport's rising new talent, sitting at No. 17 in the world at the ripe age of 20.
Despite the differences in each player's career status, the two have a history that helps them maintain a deep friendship today.
"Sloane and I first became friends when I was about 13," Rose said. "We both grew up in Florida, and we met at a state tournament that was held every June. We actually played in the finals of the back draw, but I won't say who won or lost."
"We kept seeing each other more and more at different events, and then a few years down the road, we starting training at the same academy. That's when we became really close. I was at her house all the time."
The two young stars have taken a nearly identical path throughout their tennis careers. Growing up in Florida, the two both attended the Broward Virtual School in Florida, where they trained together and battled competitively. They listen to some of the same music, and even enjoy similar pre-match meals.
When it comes to playing style, the two are mirror images of each other. Both sport strong physiques, similar to that of their idol, Serena Williams. The two also consider themselves to be all-court players, meaning they are able to rely on their athleticism to cover the entire court while still having the ability to overpower their opponents with their strength.
"Our games don't necessarily feed off of each other, we just naturally play in the exact same way," Rose said. "When it comes to our game styles being so similar, it's just a coincidence. Our weapons and demeanors are the same. It's kind of funny to watch her play, because it's almost like I'm watching myself."
The pair's similarities run deep enough to make spectators think the two are more than just training partners.
"Off the court in our personal lives, Sloane and I are pretty different," Rose said. "She is outgoing, always talking to everybody, while I am kind of the quiet and reserved one."
"But on the court, people have thought we were sisters. We've even lied and said we were sisters before, and people have totally believed us."
The parallels between the two have kept them in close contact despite the busy travel schedule of Stephens' professional circuit and Rose's reign through the Big 12.
So close, that the two text each other after nearly every match.
Rose had a message from Stephens waiting on her after her upset victory over Nebraska's Mary Weatherholt, who was the 10th-ranked singles player in the country at the time. Stephens also sent Rose congratulatory texts after wins over the 24th, 27th and 43rd-ranked players in the nation, as well as when Rose's Cowgirls defeat top-seeded Baylor to advance the Big 12 Championship last weekend.
As in every good friendship, Rose always returns the favor. During Stephen's huge win over Serena Williams in this year's Australian Open, Rose and two other professionals cheered Stephens on in a group text between the four girls.
"Leading up to the quarterfinals when she played Serena, she was gaining a lot followers and attention before she beat her, and then after she beat Serena, everything blew up." Rose said. "Watching her look at her phone on TV after her match was crazy, because she was talking to us and looking at our texts. Throughout the whole three weeks that she was there in Australia, she was keeping in touch with us. We would always wish her good luck with all her matches, and she would tell us about how Australia was."
The motivation shared between Rose and Stephens has pushed the two to new heights, as Stephens takes on some of the toughest players in the world and Rose leads her team into the NCAA Tournament next weekend.
Rose, the Cowgirl's No. 1 throughout the entire season, will look to guide her squad past Long Beach State in the first round, and eventually past the UCLA-Army winner and into the Sweet 16.
Meghan Blevins, OSU's No. 2 and another one of Rose's best friends, said she knows Stephens will be pulling for Rose when the Cowgirls travel to Los Angeles and begin their NCAA Tournament journey.
"They're always talking to each other in whatever way they can," Blevins said. "You can tell that Malika is motivated by Sloane, and that Sloane is motivated by Malika. They're a great team together."

In a nutshell, he talks about being able to imagine a being so great--powerful, perfect, omniscient-- that nothing greater can be imagined. But that's only the setup--the next step is that if we are imagining a perfect being with all perfect qualities, then surely existence is one of those qualities, because existence is more perfect than non-existence. And it's from there that he argues that God must then exist. I don't remember all the details but it is more believable (I didn't say entirely believable) when you read the whole argument.

BMW 325is Clutch Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Find a RepairPal Certified Shop
What is a clutch?
The clutch disc is a friction disc that is squeezed between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel when the clutch is engaged. This allows the power (torque) from the engine to be transmitted to the manual transmission. The disc is made of a similar material to brake pads; it eventually wears out and needs to be replaced.
How does the clutch work?
When the clutch is engaged and the vehicle is in gear, power is transmitted from the engine to the transmission. Pressing the clutch pedal disengages the clutch friction disc from the flywheel, momentarily disengaging the engine from the transmission and allowing shifting in and out of gear.
What are the symptoms related to a bad clutch?
A failed clutch could either slip, shudder, or be unusually difficult to depress. Changing gears may become more difficult. The engine will "rev" but speed will not increase or the vehicle may not move.
Can I drive with a clutch problem?
It is difficult to impossible to drive with a failed clutch. If the transmission can even be put into gear, the worn disc will not be able to transmit enough torque to move the vehicle.
How often do clutches need to be replaced?
Replacement intervals vary by vehicle and driving conditions. Similar to brake pads, clutches do not have a recommended replacement mileage. They do wear out, but some will last over 100,000 miles. Manual transmission cars that are driven in heavy traffic, hilly areas, or are more performance oriented may wear their clutches out sooner.
How are clutch issues diagnosed?
The technician will inspect the clutch hydraulics and clutch cable if equipped. Shifting problems may arise from leaking clutch master cylinders, misadjusted clutch cables, or worn pivot arms. If other clutch issues have been ruled out, the transmission will be removed and the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel will be inspected, and necessary repairs recommended.
How is a clutch replaced?
The technician will remove the transmission or transaxle from the vehicle. Now accessible, the release bearing, pressure plate, and clutch will be removed from the engine. The flywheel may be removed for resurfacing or replacement, and the pilot bearing will be removed from the rear of the crankshaft. New components will then be installed. After assembly, the technician will check for proper operation.
RepairPal Recommendations for clutch issues
Engine oil from the rear main seal or transmission fluid leaks from the input shaft bearing can damage a clutch. When replacing a clutch, any leaks should be diagnosed and repaired to avoid recurring problems. As a preventive measure, it's not uncommon for a shop to recommend replacement of the rear main seal and/or the transmission input shaft seal even when not leaking; it's a good insurance policy against expensive future repairs. Replacement of the release bearing, pilot bearing, clutch fork, and clutch slave cylinder may be recommended as they are removed for this service. Transmission mounts and driveshaft support bearings should also be inspected and replaced as necessary.
What to look out for when dealing with clutch issues
Incorrect linkage or cable adjustment, and "riding" the clutch (resting one's foot on the clutch pedal, not allowing the clutch to release completely) can cause premature clutch failure. Some high end vehicle's will have what's called a "Dual Mass Flywheel" that is considerably more expensive due to design. This sort of flywheel cannot be resurfaced and if significantly worn or damaged will need to be replaced.
Can I replace the clutch myself?
Repairing your own car is an extremely rewarding process that can also save you money. But before you dive in, it's important to be sure the issue has been properly diagnosed. Seemingly obvious symptoms can lead the inexperienced down a rabbit hole of replacing parts that don't fix the problem. Proper diagnosis can save more money than guessing at what's broken! If you're unsure you have the right tools or experience to diagnose a problem, consider reaching out to a RepairPal Certified Shop. Clutch replacement is a job for an experienced technician. Transmission removal is required, and special tools are often needed for removal and seating of the new clutch components.

It's an academic decathlon for small schools.
Small schools in the rural parts of Kern County held an annual academic competition on Feb. 28 called "Whiz Kids" at Puite Mountain School in Caliente.
Elk Hills claimed overall team victory, while Elk Hills' William Martin was victorious in the Essay category and Belridge's Lucia Diaz was the Social Studies winner.
McKittrick won the Super Quiz.
The competition is for seventh and eighth grade students and is modeled after the high school "Academic Decathlon."
Students from Belridge, Elk Hills, McKittrick, Midway and the Caliente School District participated. Each school/district selected six students for their team for a total of 30 participants. Competition consisted of four subjects — Math, Social Studies, Science and Essay, plus the Super Quiz. Individual titles were contested in the Essay and Social Studies categories.
Super Quiz is the highlight of the event — facing teams off against each other in a TV game show type of competition.
Teams are given 24 questions and each student must answer four questions in an allotted amount of time.
Questions were based on the book "Rifles for Watie," by Harold Keith.
"Whiz Kids" is sponsored by the competing schools with logistical support from the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office (KCSOS).

were there any recurring issues you saw in wilson's game that you believe he'll be working on fixing in the offseason?
One of the things I love most about Wilson is that when he makes a mistake, rarely does he ever make it again. He seems to be the epitome of someone who 'learns from his mistakes', which is fitting for the master of the cliche, but it's true.
Case in point I remember in the Green Bay game, I think it was Raji that ran him down for a sack. You could tell Wilson wasn't running full-speed, assuming the big guy would be too slow. When that play happened I said to my friend "Well. At least that's out of the way, Wilson will never make the mistake assuming these big guys in the NFL aren't fast if he half-asses it". And I don't think I ever saw him make that mistake again.
The main thing I would say he needs to fix is that his last few games it seemed like early on he was firing the ball over guy's heads. Eventually he settled down and was right on target but for whatever reason to start games he was a bit off.
I'm not sure why since he's shown he can be consistently accurate. My theory is that he's making the throws a little too safe until he gets to see the defense in action and how they react. He needs to make catchable throws that are still safe if that is the case. He'll have to work with Bevel to design plays to start the game that can be safe outside throws if he wants that time to observe the defense's reaction.

- The Academy
At a very young age, Helio Gracie learned traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu techniques from his older brother, Carlos. In the late 1920s, he began to modify these techniques to accommodate his frail physique with the objective of developing a system that would enable him to defend himself against larger opponents. After years of refinement, he proved his art's effectiveness by routinely defeating larger and stronger opponents, some of whom outweighed him by as much as 100 pounds. As a result, Helio's techniques quickly became the new expression of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil and set the stage for a worldwide revolution in martial arts.
- Training Programs
Although Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective martial art on the planet, it is a relatively young martial art. Realizing that the key to global dissemination of pure Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was the development of a formalized curriculum, the Gracie Academy dedicated several years to organizing all the techniques in the most logical sequence based on their complexity and usefulness in combat. Furthermore, we conduct all group classes with the utmost concern for safety, and we demand that all students treat each other respectfully regardless of skill level, gender, race, nationality, or creed. At the Gracie Academy we don't teach people how to fight. We give people confidence so they don't need to fight.
Gracie Combatives
Gracie Combatives is the official beginner program of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. In this program, students learn the 36 most important techniques in a fun, safe, and cooperative training environment.
The Master Cycle
Beyond blue belt, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu consists of hundreds of advanced techniques, all of which we have organized into a clearly defined, systematic curriculum called the Master Cycle.
Gracie Bullyproof
Gracie Bullyproof is a confidence and character development program for kids and has been proven as an effective countermeasure to bullying as seen on:
Women Empowered
Women Empowered is a comprehensive self-defense program for women based on proven verbal, physical, and psychological defense strategies tested and proven effective over nearly two decades.
Military & Law Enforcement
GST (Gracie Survival Tactics) is the ultimate solution for any military or law enforcement organization.
Private Lessons
We offer all Gracie Academy programs in group and private lessons. Review the benefits of each before deciding which is right for you.
At-home Training
We will guide you through the complete Gracie Jiu-Jitsu curriculum, from Gracie Combatives to the Master Cycle, in the exact order that we use in private classes at the Gracie Academy.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a way of life. The principles of discipline, patience, efficiency, and control are the keys to success on and off the mat. Whether your a dedicated practitioner of the art or just a fan of the Gracie way, the casual wear, training gear, and accessories in the Gracie Store will remind you to keep it real at all times.

Harveytoons had a very appealing house style. It's generic but cute. Almost all their kid stars were the same design.I'm not sure who did this really cute cover...Warren Kremer?
Casper is Elmer Fudd without ears. He is a living dead construction model- the ultimate bland!
Spooky is Casper with a dognose and freckles. And he's a smartass bully.
Audrey is Casper with a dress and hair.
So is Dot.
Hot Stuff has pointy ears and horns.
When I was a kid there was one Harvey artist I loved. I thought of him as "the fun one".Jerry Beck later told me it was Howie Post. He did the 1950s Spooky and Little Audrey comics. He continued in the 60s but someone else started to take over.
Howie not only drew the most likable versions of the characters, he did the nicest backgrounds too. His haunted forests were great!
These examples are actually a little later than the most cartoony stuff he did. I found these online, but I have a stack of 50s Harvey comics somewhere and as soon as I find them I'll post some.
I always thought the comics were drawn better than most of the animated cartoons.
Just for comparison sake, here are the same characters drawn by Ernie Colon. Not so cute. Kinda serious looking. (This is also a bit later)
Colon is obviously a good draftsman and he must have been fast, because he did tons of titles all through the 60s, and I read 'em all.
He's not as appealing and not at all cartoony though. He also has a tendency to draw the characters mean.Colon did this weird thing that confused me when I was little. He would combine regular bighead Harvey kids with little head incidental characters. Tiny close set eyes even on the kids.
Howie Post's cute Audrey.
Her eyes are bigger, wider apart and set on angles.
Howie's caveboy Melvin
Here are some more great covers from the 50s. Kremer?
The earliest comics looked more like the cartoons:
Well Casper is very bland indeed and I didn't like him as much as the other characters. But the stories were about magical impossible stuff happening and that was good enough for a reading or 2. The other characters have a bit of personality and much appeal when in the hands of appealing artists.
These are for kids and have simple stories with simple personalities and I'm completely fine with that - as long as they look fun! And they aren't pretending to be anything more than that. I never heard the artists (or writers!) telling us about the great acting and storylines - although I'd say they were still ahead of animated features on both scores. They were silly and sincere. Fun throwaway entertainment. A classic American tradition.
They also were done very cheap. You could buy a fist full of these comics for a buck and still have money left over for smokes and cokes. Generic and silly for 10 cents makes more sense to me than generic and hard on the eyes for $100,000,000 or more. Plus the Harvey style didn't squeeze every other style out of business. There was a lot of variety in comics and cartoons back then.
If you're gonna do simple and soft for kids, an appealing visual style can do a lot for a lack of "deep" content.
These look like they are drawn by someone who never grew up and is still immature, silly and playful. He'd let you stay up past your bedtime and eat big helpings of ice cream.
These look like they are drawn by an intelligent mature man who always balances his checkbook. He'd be sure you got to bed on time and finished your cauliflower.
It's amazing how different artists can bring such different feelings to the same designs and material.
Harvey comics is a naturally cute style.
I'm saddened by the realization that the concept of cute and appeal may be lost forever.
Look what happens to a once cute style today when really serious people get a hold of it.
I was thinking about doing a post on that, but it'll take some work.
