Volleyball loses to College of Charleston in three
Saturday, November 09, 2002JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (November 9, 2002) - College of Charleston extended its current winning streak to 17 games with a 3-0 win over East Tennessee State Saturday afternoon in Brooks Gym. "Right now College of Charleston is the best team in the Southern Conference," said ETSU head coach Deane Webb. "They are on an amazing roll right now. We wished we would have gotten the win, but I am encouraged that even though we didn't play our best, we were right in there." The Cougars (23-5, 15-2) were neck-and-neck with ETSU in game one. The Buccaneers took a 20-19 lead on a block assist by Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) and Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Calif.), but Charleston rallied back with six consecutive points to eventually escape with the 30-24 victory. Game two was just as close, but the Lady Bucs enjoyed a three-point advantage, 28-25, following an attacking error by the Cougars Tara Greene (Greensburg, Pa.). However, Charleston came back to tie the game at 28-28 on a kill by Mary Sabatino (Glen Ellyn, Ill.). The visitors finished out the game with a 30-28 win after an attacking error by the Bucs Meghan Connolly (Solon, Ohio) brought the two teams into the break. East Tennessee State (7-19, 5-12 SoCon) jumped out to an 8-5 lead in game three on a kill by freshman setter Renee Vesey (Paw Paw, Mich.), but the Cougars battled back to tie the game 8-8 on a block assist by Greene and Shawn Beckham (Summerville, S.C.). From there it was all Charleston as the Cougars gradually increased their lead to 27-14 before clinching the match with a 30-22 victory. "We definitely worked hard out there, but we just made some mental errors at crucial points in the match to prevent us from winning," Webb said. "Lissa Allen brought a lot of intensity to the court, and played very well." Allen led the Bucs with a modest 12 kills, but had only one attacking error on 20 attempts for a hitting percentage of .550, which was a match-high for both teams. Vesey dished out 32 assists, while Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.) led ETSU's defensive effort with 17 digs. College of Charleston was led by Alisa Long's (Columbia, S.C.) 14 kills and three block assists. Sabatino carried the Cougars with a match-high 41 assists and three service aces. Defensively, three players tallied double digits in digs led by Greene who led the team with 15, followed by Sara Davis (Lakeville, Minn.) and Stephanie Ballard (Muncie, Ind.), who registered 14 and 12 digs, respectively. East Tennessee State continues its battle for a bid to the Southern Conference Tournament on Sunday, Nov. 10, when the Bucs host The Citadel in Brooks Gym beginning at 2 p.m. ETSU will then play host to the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.

Consumer Information
To: Mortgage and TILT Licensees/Registrants
From: Greg Gonzales, Commissioner
Subject: Tennessee Home Loan Protection Act, Public Chapter 801
Date: September 11, 2006
The Tennessee Home Loan Protection Act ("THLPA") was passed by the General Assembly on May 10, 2006 and signed by Governor Bredesen on May 26, 2006. The THLPA which takes effect on January 1, 2007 places specific limitations and restrictions on the making of high-cost home loans. This memorandum is intended to provide the industry with a brief outline of some of the significant provisions of the THLPA.
- High-Cost Home Loan Defined (THLPA, Section 2): Excludes residential mortgage transactions as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 226.2(a)(24), reverse mortgage transactions as defined in Title 47, Chapter 30 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, loans insured by/sold to a government agency, and construction loans as defined in the THLPA, as well as open-end loans as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 226.2(a)(20) unless used to evade the THLPA. Otherwise, applies to closed-end consumer home loans1 that meet or exceed one of the following thresholds:
- Rate: Same as the Federal Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act ("HOEPA") and 12 C.F.R. 226.32 (a)(1)(i).
- Points and Fees: for loans more than $30,000 - exceed the greater of 5% of total loan amount or $2,400; for loans $30,000 or less - exceed 8%. (Points and Fees defined: Generally, similar to Federal HOEPA, see 12 C.F.R. 226.32 (b); but, excludes: 2 bona fide loan discount points as defined in the THLPA and real-estate related fees as defined in 12 C.F.R. 226.4 (c)(7) paid to a 3rd party or an affiliate if reasonable.)

- Private Right of Action (THLPA, Section 11): Creates a private right of action for violations of the THLPA; contains a 3 year statute of limitations; allows for actual damages, statutory damages for willful or intentional violations, punitive damages for malicious or reckless violations as well as costs and reasonable attorney's fees; and, requires notice of any civil action under the THLPA be given to the Department of Financial Institutions.
- Preemption (THLPA, Section 13): Preempted to the extent it is in conflict with or inconsistent with the National Bank Act, the Homeowner's Loan Act, the Federal Credit Union Act or regulations issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Administration, and as interpreted by the federal courts, with respect to national and state banks, trust companies, federal and state savings institutions, and federal and state credit unions and their operating subsidiaries.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Buck Pomerantz Bring your music out where you work and play Kicker's little PXi50.2 amp lets you set up a sound system in any vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system, including sit-down mowers, tractors, ATVs, or motorcycles. Just hook up some speakers, plug in your iPod or iPhone, and you'll have access to your tunes loud and clear. Imagine how simple this makes getting music onto your boat or even a forklift. Kicker recommends pairing the PXi50.2 with a set of PS5250 5-1/4" Powersports speakers. Use the remote to navigate your playlists Versatile little music-maker The weather-resistant amp module sends up to 25 watts RMS to your speakers so you'll hear all your music's details and feel the beat. You can tuck your iPod away in a safe spot, because the illuminated remote controller provides easy navigation through your playlists and songs. The PXi50.2 also provides rapid-charging, so your player will be fully charged when you bring it home. Kicker even includes an auxiliary input to accommodate other kinds of MP3 devices, along with RCA outputs that allow you to add some powered speakers or a powered sub.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.

The product was the best soloution to put sound in my classic 1963 Impala SS Pros: Easy to install just a matter of running the wires where you needed them. I installed the unit under the back seat. Cons: The unit only has enough power for the two pioneer speakers I also purchased. A inline10amp fuse is required but is not included. Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Happy Written By TAK, North Olmsted Ohio on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very happy with the unit. Installed into a 2013 HD 1200 motorcycle. Has enough poor to drive the speakers I installed. Unit was the nicest I could find for my application, I did search big box stores and audio shops. This unit fit nicely into the bottom of the rear saddle bag. Research shows this is a quality unit, I learned a lot about amps and wattage and be sure to educate yourself and then compare spec to spec not the splash advertising on the box or salesperson. Pros: easy install, nice unit Cons: No Bluetooth, Kicker makes a unit with Bluetooth when I ordered this unit. But there was no release date. Still happy with the unit I purchased. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product Written By Grant, Traverse City, Michigan on Saturday, August 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product if your in a wet or dirty environment. I installed this unit into my Polaris RZR. It's compact size lets you mount it on top of the dash/hood sub structure up and out of the way. Pros: Unit works great Cons: Unit was an open box purchase and 30 pin connector to proprietary cord was bad in the box. Crutchfield is making good on the purchase. Was this review helpful? Yes No Pretty good product.... Written By Islander, Ft. Lauderdale Fl on Monday, October 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed the PXI in my EZ Go Golf Cart over the weekend. I'm not an expert electronics guy but it took me most of a full day? Had to cut the dash out for the remote control switch out of 1/4" Alum. not fun! Finally got the switch in the dash then ran remote/power wire's forward, down and back to the area under the seat where I wanted to mount the main amp. Wires barely reached, could be longer! Did not mount the amp yet to make sure where I wanted it worked with the speaker wires etc. so I installed the speakers next over head pointing aft on the front roof bar. (Used a pair of small marine box speakers). Finally had all hooked up just to make sure all worked before bolting down main amp and heat shrinking all connections. Plugged in the wife's I-phone 4S and only got sound out of the left front speaker??? Now 7 hours in I was not happy??? I asked the wife if she had a AUX cable so I could try that on the amps AUX input cable and "WALA" both speakers worked! BUT....only the volume worked on the dash remote? No control over switching songs, shuffle etc.?? Back in the US I called Kicker and was told it might have been the "case" on the I-phone not making full contact for the right speaker to work on the main remote cable. Cart is out of town so I will try without the i-phone case next trip. Over-all a good concept product if you dont want a main stereo head unit for your cart or UTV etc. Hopefully the case was my only problem and it will work as advertised! Pros: Good concept, fair price. Cons: Instructions could be better, needs longer cables to reach installation points. Amp does get very hot. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A con job Written By R Pogue, HV texas on Monday, October 08, 2012 Don't bother. "The best way to take your iTunes with you anywhere!" Not true. Won't work with iPhone 4S; after I had purchased the unit and $300 worth of other equipment, I found a tiny little note on crutchfields website saying it won't work with the 4s. So I contacted crutchfield, and one of the reps told me and I quote: "your iPhone 4S will work just fine." A lie. Don't let them stiff you out of time and money. I will never buy from them again, and will advise everyone I know to steer clear of these con artists. Pros: If you have an iPhone, none. Cons: Lying crutchfield con men. Was this review helpful? Yes No Kicker PXi50.2 Written By Ryan P, Houston, TX on Monday, April 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product is everything that I was expecting. I installed this along with the PS5250 speakers and PXi200.1 with CVT651 sub on a 2012 Seadoo Wake Pro Watercraft. The sound is amazing and very clear. Very loud also. The amp draw is small enough that I didn't need to add or upgrade a battery. Pros: Sound quality, size, easy install and easy to use without direct access to ipod. Cons: The PS5250 speakers could have been more stylish. These are supposed to replace stock Harley motorcycle speakers, which has a grill covering them, but not for other applications. 19 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Only the best for the best.
Within the walls of Assos' design facilities, the latest fabrics, fits, and design details are refined over and over again. This level of dedication derives from the Swiss apparel manufacturer priding itself on continuously being at the top of its class, tirelessly working to build the most advanced cycling apparel in the world. The newly released Competitive Cyclist SS Jersey Equipe embodies this spirit to the very last stitch, representing Assos' new short sleeve jersey design that's been finished off with an exclusive Competitive Cyclist colorway.
The bulk of the Competitive Cyclist SS Jersey Equipe was constructed from the new Assos Textile Lab Development - Type 151 fabric. This innovative material was designed with body temperature regulation in mind, as its composition works to transfer moisture at varying rates. When your body is hot, and your perspiration levels are high, the material reacts by accelerating moisture transfer from your skin to the fabric's quick-drying surface. Inversely, when your body cools down, the opposite effect results, where the evaporation process slows down, using body moisture as a means of retaining warmth. For additional body temperature control and increased moisture wicking, the SS Equipe's underarm panels have been constructed with Assos' highly elastic, lightweight mesh. The placement of this material provides you with both a free range of motion and enhanced breathability.
In terms of fit, the Competitive Cyclist jersey is situated between the SS.Uno_s7 and SS.Mille. This translates to a contoured fit that isn't too loose or too tight, complementing most body types and those who prefer a smoothly-stretching, supportive top over a compressive, race-cut jersey. Of course, this jersey, like all Assos jerseys, has been designed to accommodate the body within the cycling position. Accordingly, you'll find that the fit feels tight and oddly contoured while standing. However, the moment that you stretch to the hoods or get into the drops, you'll feel that signature Assos 'click,' and your ride will be guaranteed to be absent of any bunching, chafing, or pinching.
With two different fabrics, and twenty-four parts and components, comprising the Competitive Cyclist jersey, you're able to ride assured that no detail was overlooked during the design process. Examples of this become apparent when looking at the small, but necessary, features that are built into the jersey. In addition to the three lower back panel pockets, a zippered 'safety pocket' was sewn onto the right rear pocket, allowing you to stash your keys and cash, as well as to route your headphone wires through the inside of the jersey. Other finishing touches include rear reflective visibility stripes, a covered, full-front zipper, and an elastic/silicone hem at the rear.
The Assos Competitive Cyclist SS Jersey Equipe is available in six sizes from Small to TIR (which translates to XXX-Large) and in the Competitive Cyclist Black colorway.

Runs very small.
As with others, I find that Assos jerseys are all over the map on fit. My long sleeve jerseys, M fits great. Short sleeve version of same jersey was short—barely covering the bib. But I could live with it because it fit well everywhere else.
Not so with the Assos Competitive Cyclist SS Jersey Equipe. I should have returned it, but I thought maybe I could get used to it. Very disappointed. It's too tight in the chest AND arms.
Also the materiel is not what I expect from Assos. This just seems like a standard everyday jersey with the Assos name on it. Not the same quality as my other Assos jerseys, and at this price, it SHOULD be.

I purchased this jersey and returned it twice. It rips just taking it out of the package. I'm sure this is a great brand, but I've never ripped anything just trying to take it out of the package. I never got to use it and tied up over $200. Not recommended.

When I received it I realized they run extremely small. The X-large size roughly reached little bellow my belly button!!!
Very disappointed...
It will be returned.
It's all about the fit.

I've owned a bunch of Assos stuff through the years and quality is never an issue; however, fit is. I find their sizing frustratingly inconsistent. I own both the SS.7 and the Mille. I am 6'1", 185lbs, 41" chest. In the former I wear a XL(barely), while in the latter the XL was too large and I had to go down to a Large. I was advised to go XL on this model, but unfortunately found it uncomfortably snug across the chest and shoulders. If I go XXL it will likely be too long in the torso; hence, it is going back. Has to be perfect for this price. Too bad, as quality and aesthetics are great.

I'm 6' tall, 215 lbs. with a 48" chest. Is the tir size a reasonable option for me? If not, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I love assos stuff. Mainly b/c it lasts forever. I'm tired of buying jersey/bibs that last 1 season. What a waste. I have assos stuff that will never die. Glad to know this is not the ultra race fit.

What cycling jersey is this based off? The ss.Mangussta?
" situated between the SS.Uno_s7 and SS.Mille " - Would consider this as a great daily jersey, perfect fit, even for my 6'1" frame; still has a little room to move - or a pizza pie or two to hide :)
Awesome :)

Best jersey - period. And sporting Competitive Cyclist goodies out on the road - it's surprising how many riders give a call out and comment on Competitive and how awesome their store is - well done :) I bought two :) Sweet zipper to secure all your goodies safely.
LIves Up to the Claims
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ok I have to admit, I have purchased a wide array of cycling jerseys from various manufacturers to accommodate varying outside temperatures I cycle in. I have spent hundreds of dollars to achieve this. Then comes the Assos Competitive Cyclist SS Jersey Equipe. I had been looking at it because of the claims of temperature control in varying outside ambient temperatures and moisture management control which keeps you warm when outside temperatures are cool and cool when it is hot out. It seemed to good to be true but I tested it and it actually works. During the summer and now in the fall in Maine I have cycled in the high 50's right into the high 80's and this jersey was comfortable throughout the temperature range. I am so impressed I am mothballing most of my other jerseys except the very best ones. Going forward I plan to add more Assos clothing to my cycling wardrobe. Yes their prodcuts are considerably more expensive but if you only need to buy one versus many to cover the temperature ranges from the 50's to the 80's it's actually a bargain. I typically wear a medium but the size chart indicated that I choose a small. I was a little concerned but the fit is really good forming and snug and is important for temperature and moisture regulation.
In summary:
Body temperature regulation works. Check
- Transfers moisture at varying temperature rates. Check
- Uses body moisture as a means of retaining warmth and cooling. Check.
- Great range of motion and enhanced breathability. Check

To the point[s]: incisive, broad, 'objective'. Thanks a bazillion.
Appreciate the review. BTW, you went with a size small. I am leaning between S and M. I am 5'8" and weigh 136 lbs. May I ask what size you are? Thanks.

Mitt Romney To Offer Energy Independence Plan
Sorry, Obama peeps, it does not include energy from unicorns and fairies
(Washington Post) Mitt Romney on Thursday will outline a plan that he projects would achieve North American energy independence by 2020 by opening new areas for offshore oil drilling, starting in Virginia and the Carolinas, and by empowering the states to lease federal lands for oil, coal and natural gas development.
Under the plan, environmental statutes and regulations would be removed or loosened to green-light more coal production and other industry priorities, and the United States would reach agreements for energy production with Canada and Mexico, including to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Now, reading the plan, the statues and regulations removed are simply the ones regarding greenhouse gas output, but those regarding real environmental destruction and real pollutants will be removed. Romney wants responsible revisions, improving environmental review, and stopping "sue and settle" by federal agencies, as well as better cooperation between the Feds and the states/companies (page 16 of the plan). We also read
Modernizing America's complex environmental statutes, regulations, and permitting processes is crucial to ensuring that the nation can develop its resources safely and efficiently.Laws should promote a rational approach to regulation that takes cost into account. Regulations should be carefully crafted to support rather than impede development. Repetitive reviews and strategic lawsuits should not be allowed to endlessly delay progress or force the government into imposing rules behind closed doors that it would not approve in public. Energy development economic growth, and environmental protection can go hand-in-hand if the government focuses on transparency and fairness instead of seeking to pick winners and repay political favors.
Makes sense in the Real World. Back to WaPost
While President Obama has funneled federal dollars toward subsidies and loan guarantees for wind, solar and other green-energy industries, Romney would spend more broadly on research for new energy technologies.
Which makes a whole lot more sense, and is something many "clean" energy supporters have recommended, instead of simply dumping money into companies that are pretty much bound to fail and/or offer really expensive energy. The R&D needs to be performed beforehand, to make the energy cheap, reliable, and abundant. And the money shouldn't be used simply to reward campaign donors, ala Obama's green energy loans.
Romney's campaign estimates that the plan would have an economic impact of $500 billion and result in 3 million new jobs, including more than 1 million in the manufacturing sector. The campaign projects more than $1 trillion in revenue for federal, state and local governments, although it did not specify over what period. It promises lower energy prices for middle-class families.
Those would be real jobs, not the fantasy jobs of Obama, most of which never appear, the rest being ones that temporarily appeared, then faded away when the companies realized their balance sheets were all negative.
Obviously, the plan does revolve heavily around oil, coal, and natural gas, and the WP mentions the links to big Oil and coal donators to Mitt. Well, duh: why would they want to donate to Obama, who's trying to kill their industries?
"My opponent thinks new sources of clean, homegrown energy like wind energy are 'imaginary,' " Obama said Saturday in Rochester, N.H. "That's what he called them. Congressman Ryan said they were a 'fad.' Listen, since I took office, America has doubled the use of renewable energy. Thousands of good American jobs have been created. It's helping us to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. That's not imaginary, that's real."
So, barely negligible to slightly negligible. Gotcha. And enviroweenies consistently block actual construction of many, many "green" projects. We need more than fantasy projects and ones that barely make it off the drawing board before they go bankrupt.

Posted in DinoDigs
The earliest horned dinosaur fossil-skull can now found at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman, Oklahoma, and has been coined Titanoceratop ouranos. The new species of dinosaurs is uniquely known for the size of its head, estimated at 8-feet long, and its overall weight, estimated at 6,550 kilograms.
The fossil skull was discovered in 1941 in New Mexico, and spent fifty-four years in museum storage before it was pieced together and ready to be displayed. Paleontologists are currently facing some difficulties placing the species into a family tree; arguing if it resembles the Pentaceratops or the Triceratops. Until recently, the beast was considered to be related to the Pentaceratops, but new inclinations regarding its physical face structure suggest relations to the Triceratops. This theory would place its evolution 5 million years earlier than originally considered and would propose that there are a lot of other horned dinosaurs yet to be discovered.
On the flip side, there are some paleontologists that still believe the Titanoceratops is part of the Pentaceratops family. They are claiming that although the fossils bones are oversized compared to the "not-so-titanic" species, it may be in its growth stage. The debate still continues, but either way the Titanoceratop is a colossal dinosaur with an oddly enormous skull.

Propagandhi is a Canadian punk band formed in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1986 by Chris Hannah and Jord Samolesky. The band is currently located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. While their earlier work draws from the punk rock and skate punk tradition, recent Propagandhi records have moved towards a heavier and more technical heavy metal-influenced sound. Both in their lyrics and hands-on activism, the band''s members champion various anarchist causes and veganism, and have taken an active stance against human rights violations, sexism, racism, homophobia, imperialism, capitalism and organized religion.

KERSEY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team captured the District 9 Class A championship by defeating the Brockway Lady Rovers by a 4-0 score Thursday afternoon at the Fox Township Community Park in Kersey.
The Lady Crusaders used a two-run home run by Lyndsey Trumbull in the second inning and a two-run double by Michelle Imbrogno in the sixth inning to account for their four runs.
After pulling off a big win Wednesday to knock off an undefeated Johnsonburg squad and advance to the D9 Class A baseball final, the Elk County Catholic Crusaders came out flat on Thursday evening at Berwind Park. The ECC squad got behind early, struggled with their offense, and were shut out 7-0 by a very good Coudersport team, which entered the tournament as the sixth seed.
JOHNSONBURG – Michael Shuey and the Johnsonburg track and field coaching staff ran the gamut of emotions last Friday during the javelin event at the PIAA Track and Field Championship Meet at Shippensburg University.
In the end, the wonder with the anticipation to victory became joy with the realization of a gold medal for the Johnsonburg senior.
Shuey took the PIAA gold medal in the javelin with a throw of 200-1, a mark he established with his first throw of the competition.
One is the loneliest number.
Elk County Catholic (16-6) dealt previously undefeated Johnsonburg (20-1) a stunning 5-2 defeat Wednesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park, ousting the No. 1 seed from the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs in the process. Throughout the season, one run was often times the difference in a game for the Rams; on Wednesday, just one loss spoiled their season and kept them out of both the district title game and the state playoffs.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg track and field was honored with a banquet Tuesday night at the Johnsonburg Fire Hall.
Varsity head coach Rene Timm expressed appreciation to the athletes for their hard work this season.
"We want to honor all the wonderful athletes we have here," Timm said. "I just want to thank all of my athletes and all of my junior high athletes for being such wonderful, dedicated young men and women. We truly have such a great team and I also give thanks to all the parents that have raised these wonderful athletes. They deserve all the credit in the world."
SHIPPENSBURG – Johnsonburg's Michael Shuey wasn't able to get a gold medal last weekend at the District 9 Track and Field meet.
He made sure to add one on Friday.
Shuey won the PIAA gold medal in the javelin event with a mark of 200-1 during the first day of competition at the PIAA Track and Field Championships held at Shippensburg University.
JOHNSONBURG – A 2-run shot to right field from sophomore starting shortstop Cole Peterson topped off a 6-run fourth inning as the Rams toppled Smethport 10-1 in the quarterfinals of the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs.
The win elevates the Rams' pristine record to 20-0 as No.1 seed Johnsonburg prepares for a semifinal matchup Tuesday at a site and time to be determined against Elk County Catholic, seeded No. 5 with a 15-5 mark. Two of those losses came against the Rams.
The Elk County Catholic Crusader baseball squad fended off a rally by the Port Allegany Gators on Thursday afternoon to record an 18-8 victory in six innings during a quarterfinal contest at Berwind Park in St. Marys.
"We were up 6-1 and they (Port) kept fighting to come back. They had a big inning, and we let them back in the game, and at least our kids stayed focused enough to keep fighting back and keep battling on," said ECC coach Tom Zampogna.
Senior Taylor Schlimm returned from the injury list to throw a no-hitter as the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team advanced to the District 9-A semifinals with an 8-0 victory over the Port Allegany Lady Gators Thursday afternoon at Benzinger Park.
Schlimm struck out 11 and issued one free pass for ECCHS. Becky Andrus started on the mound for Port Allegany and worked four innings, giving up four hits and walking one. Brooke Roys worked two innings of relief, giving up two hits, walking three and striking out three.
JOHNSONBURG – Barely two weeks removed from a walk-off home run to stun Ridgway, Cameron Grumley struck gold again.
The sophomore starting catcher crushed a Josh Mitchell offering over the center field fence Tuesday in the fifth inning of a first round District 9 Class A playoff game to put the Rams in the quarterfinals.
Johnsonburg is scheduled to host Smethport at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
The 3-run home run turned out to be the game-winner in Johnsonburg's eventual 3-0 win over the visiting Elkers, a victory that raised the Rams' record to 19-0.

Welcome back! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been playing a ton of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 lately and have had a tough time tearing myself away long enough to write anything worth reading. On that note, I have noticed some striking similarities between 40k and Call of Duty that I may have to devote a separate article to. If, you know, I can stop playing long enough to write it.
In the meantime, the Da Boyz GT has come and gone. This year, the Da Boyz GT featured no comp scoring. That's unusual for the event, which is notorious for its comp scores. I believe going to no-comp was the right call, given the relative infancy of 6th edition. The TOs were proven correct when despite the lack of comp scores, a wide variety of lists showed up on the top tables. The top 10 overall finishers included: GK/IG, Daemons, Eldar/Tau, Chaos Space Marines, Eldar, IG, Tyranids, and Necrons. When the dust settled, Andrew Gonyo had pulled down yet another 6th edition GT win with a Grey Knight/IG army. Today we've got the army lists of the Da Boyz GT 2012 Best Overall winner Andrew Gonyo and 2nd Overall / Best General Ben Mohile for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Men and women with cancer embarking on their journey of care with The Norma F. Pfriem Cancer Institute are provided with a Patient Passport. Developed by Bridgeport Hospital, it's a booklet that enables patients and their families to more easily navigate their individual cancer care journey. Patients can easily keep track of appointments, medications, complementary therapies, questions for caregivers and other aspects of their care. "I take it everywhere; it is always in my purse," says one cancer survivor. "It is so convenient to write everything down in one place, rather than having to store the details in my head. I love it."
Caregivers from around the country have taken notice. The Patient Passport received a national innovator award from the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) in 2011. As a result, other hospitals have contacted Bridgeport Hospital to learn how they can adopt the Patient Passport for their own cancer programs.

When thousands of spectators walk around Congressional Country Club for the AT&T National next weekend they will notice the endless driving range. They will eye the grandstands bordering every green and a number of tee boxes. They will see the myriad hospitality tents and TV towers and the giant Rolex clocks on the first and 10th holes. More important than all of that, they will see the blue course.
But what will go unseen, buried once more by the tents and the spectators and the hype of the storied blue, is Congressional's "forgotten hidden gem."
That's how the club's director of golf, John Lyberger, describes the oft-ignored gold course, the poor cousin of the two 18-hole tracks in Bethesda.
"That course lives in the shadow of the blue course," he said.
It didn't used to be that way. When the club was founded in the early 1920s by Washington, D.C.'s political elite, architect Devereux Emmet carved out the original design which included a combination of holes from both the current blue and gold courses.
But in April of 1943 in the midst of World War II, the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA, took over the club. It wouldn't be turned over again until three years later, but it exchanged hands with a hefty grant to the tune of $4,000 per month from the federal government.
That money was used in part to hire Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1957 to design a third nine. Born were the 18 holes of the blue course, and so began the slow fade into anonymity for the gold course. Two years later the new and improved blue hosted its first major event, the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.
"That's when the club decided, 'hey, let's try to host a U.S. Open,'" Lyberger said.
The United States Golf Association told the higher-ups at Congressional that they needed to provide a more difficult course to hold such a premier event, Lyebeger said.
Touchups were made to the blue course, and in 1964 Congressional hosted its first of three U.S. Opens.
With revenue streams flowing in from the blue, the club was able to purchase a plot of land across Persimmon Tree Road in the 1970s and bring in Ault, Clark & Associates to design the outer nine (holes 6-14) of the gold course. The blue would go on to host two more majors — the PGA Championship in 1976 and U.S. Open in 1997 — as well as the Kemper Open and Senior Open before the gold would receive any major additional work when the club called in architect Arthur Hills in 2000.
Hills touched up the bunkers, tee boxes, and fairways but left the green complexes alone for the most part, Lyberger said. The one green that he did delve into was the 18th, which is now a difficult and photogenic par-3 over water.
The U.S. Open has never been played on the gold course. When most people think of Congressional they imagine the famed blue course. But the Cinderella of the two has had sporadic chances to shine.
It was chosen as one of four courses in the world to host a British Open qualifier in 2004 and would have in 2006 as well had it not been for a deluge that forced it to be moved to a later date and a different venue. It has entertained several Junior World Championship qualifiers as well as the Maryland Amateur in 2010.
"When I first came out I was surprised," said Congressional PGA apprentice Matt Woodworth. "I thought the blue would be way nicer, but the gold is just as nice. I could honestly see them holding something bigger than [the Maryland Amateur] here."
Sean Bosdosh, who won the Maryland Amateur on the gold course in 2010, describes it as "a very good test of your skills. Your game's gotta be in tip top shape to play well there."
But the two courses are different in as many ways as they are similar. The blue is nearly 400 yards longer from the back tees and, despite the USGA growing the rough to impossible thickness, narrowing the fairways to supermodel thin, and rolling the greens to unfathomable speeds, it still was decimated by Rory McIlroy, who shot an unprecedented 16-under-par at last year's Open.
The idea of a U.S. Open at the gold course, given its current length, is almost laughable, especially considering the 7,100-yard monster that the USGA turned Olympic Club into for this year's open, which was held last weekend.
"[Tour players] would have a wedge into every par-4," Bosdosh said.
But as Woodworth pulled up to the 18th tee box at the gold course, which overlooks the same water that forms a half-moon around the finishing hole on the blue, he shook his head and said:
"I don't know how this place would ever get old."

EFSA develops new approach for cumulative risk assessment of pesticides
11:04 AM MDT | July 16, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) says it has pioneered a new approach that paves the way for implementation of cumulative risk assessment, a technique that enables assessment of the risk posed by simultaneous exposure to several pesticides. Pesticides are classified into so-called cumulative assessment groups, based on identifying compounds that exhibit similar toxicological properties in a specific organ or system. The authority's panel on plant protection products and their residues (PPR) has applied the methodology to define groups of...

DeMatha Catholic High School running back Taiwan Deal spent most of the third quarter planted on the bench, his right shoe off and a bag of ice near his foot. Despite spraining his foot late in the first half, he told coaches he would be able to return. DeMatha football coach Elijah Brooks wasn't so certain, though.
Finally, facing a fourth-and-1 late in the third quarter, DeMatha inserted Deal and ran a power running play with the Wisconsin recruit.
"Everyone knows it's coming, and we've just got to be more dominant than the other team," Brooks said.
Deal churned ahead, and so has DeMatha.
With Deal's 3-yard gain helping to run out the clock on Godby (Fla.), DeMatha claimed a 26-9 victory Monday in an ESPN-televised game at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Step 2 of 3: Complete.
DeMatha won its second of three high-profile games against non-area teams to open the season, the first being a 24-20 win against Phoebus (Va.).
"If we were ever going do it, this would be the year to do it," Brooks said of scheduling three premier non-area opponents. "We have some talented kids, and I was confident that we could get it done.
"There are a lot of teams that are talented. My team is talented. But they're hard workers, and they really want to be good. And that's why we did it. Not just because they're good, because there are a lot of good teams. But they want to take it to the next level, so I want to give them an opportunity to do so."
Whether it was quarterback John Lovett repeatedly connecting with Cameron Phillips (committed to Virginia Tech), Lorenzo Harrison stepping up at running back with Deal out, defensive end Deonte Holden (committed to North Carolina State) controlling his side of the line, Greyson Torain and Sinmi Demuren intercepting passes or Deal returning to play, DeMatha's players frequently showed why Brooks holds so much confidence in this group.
And they're excited about this schedule, too.
Phillips spoke at length about how much faith he has in his teammates, and that's why he really anticipated the opening slate.
"I was not nervous one bit," said Phillips, who caught seven passes for 140 yards again Godby, which is a defending Florida Class 5A state champion and features two players committed Florida State. "We're anxious to show everyone else what we can do."
The next — and seemingly stiffest — challenge is a trip to New Jersey to play St. Joseph's Regional, which lost narrowly to Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, 14-10, last season.
Brooks dismissed any talk that Saturday's game against St. Joseph's would indicate how his team stacks up with Good Counsel, which has won the past four Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championships.
Still, any legitimate WCAC challenger — and DeMatha certainly qualifies — will be measured against Good Counsel, so any potential comparison can't be completely minimized. After all, DeMatha's main goal this season is a WCAC title, right?
"Undefeated season," corrected Phillips, whose team also plays St. Frances in its fourth pre-WCAC contest. "With the schedule, we believe we're as talented as anyone in the country. So, nothing less than undefeated."
Phillips' belief in his team showed especially while discussing Deal's fourth-down carry. With DeMatha needing just 1 yard, its hobbled running back gained 3 yards. For nearly any team, that's a resounding victory.
But DeMatha's goals are bigger, and that's why Phillips expected a touchdown.
"Six," Phillips said. "I thought it was six. I'm confident in all our guys."
