The Pioneer Valley is not well-connected. All too often, neither are its residents. That's why, with Valentine's Day on the horizon, we've created our own Online Romantic Failure Map, onto which you can literally chart every botched Cameron-Crowe-esque overture, every depressing mixtape (or playlist), every solitary drop of sweat-diluted hair gel falling from that striped-shirted dude's forehead onto the Hippodrome floor.
The map is completely public. Anybody with a Gmail account can add placemarks on the map and share their stories of romantic advances gone wrong. It can be about you, people you know, people you saw. Here's what you do:
1. In the map above, click the "View Larger Map" link, and sign into your Gmail account, if you haven't already.
2. Click "Save to My Maps" in the left frame
3. Click the "Edit" button in the left navigation frame
4. Click the "Placemark," "Line," or "Shape" icons on the map, and type.
Like that dude in Aftershock once said, "I revel in your pain."
Or, you can just click the link below the map, and revel in ours.

With more than two months to go before the Giants make their selections in this year's NFL draft, fans will find themselves studying college players and reviewing mock drafts to find out how the team plans to improve.
Jerry Reese, New York's respected general manager, and a number of scouts and other decision-makers will gather to try to gain the best talent they can. With the team's recent cap-cutting measures, young, inexpensive talent will be crucial, especially first-round picks. Reese has shown a knack for picking the right players, but how has the franchise done historically?
Pretty well, actually. The team has taken three players who wound up in Canton in the first round of the draft, and at least one more who will inevitably join them. Here, we'll recap the top five first-round picks the New York Giants ever made.

Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of US rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers, gave his backing to a jailed Russian girl punk band during a Moscow concert, a Russian news website reported.
Kiedes performed with his band at the city's Luzniky stadium wearing a tee-shirt emblazoned with 'Pussy Riot', said the news website, a report confirmed by posts on Twitter.
Pussy Riot is the name of the punk trio currently detained pending trial for an protest against President Vladimir Putin last February.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Maria Alekhina face up to seven years if jailed, after having barged into a Moscow church to sing a "punk prayer" calling for the overthrow of Putin.
The three have already been held in detention since March and on Friday a Moscow court ordered them detained for another six months, until January 12.
The anti-Putin opposition has rallied to support them with a number of artists and other celebrities denouncing what they say is their harsh treatment.

QUIZ: How well do you know your lingo?

BEREA, Ohio -- About 100 of Baldwin Wallace University's 700 freshmen have signed on to a new program that guarantees they will graduate in four years if they complete the required steps.
Among the requirements are successfully completing all classes, meeting with an academic adviser at least once a semester and attending four workshops related to college success.
If the student follows those steps and still is unable to complete the requirements for his or her major within four years, BW will pay the tuition for required courses for up to one year.
That does not apply if the student had to take more courses because of poor grades, delayed registering for classes or changed his or her major during junior or senior year.
Even though about 90 percent of students graduate in four years, the Berea college believes offering a graduation guarantee will attract interest from students and parents who may not have considered a private college because of the cost.
It helped sway Stephanie Knezevic, who is majoring in management and chose BW over Miami University.
"It made me feel good that as long as I'm doing my work I will graduate," she said. The 18-year-old from Avon said her parents also liked the guarantee.
Mary McHale, 18, of Rocky River, said she appreciates the additional help to make sure she is able to correctly schedule all the required classes to complete her degree. She plans to major in chemistry.
Her mother, Kate McHale, a BW alumnus, said the guarantee is a great idea because it shows BW will do its best to get her daughter out in time.
The pledge requires the student to include the e-mail of a parent, who will be notified of the student's academic progress. Some students said they were a little apprehensive about that, but it didn't deter them from signing up.
BW is one of about 15 colleges, mostly small liberal arts institutions, that offers a graduation guarantee, said Ana de Freitas Boe, associate academic dean.
"This is a special group that is serious about academics," she said of those who signed the agreement. "It helped seal the deal (of coming to BW) that they had the support to help them succeed."

Deborah L. Windes
Associate Professor of Business
on faculty since 2010
Phone: 708-239-4844
Fax: 708-239-3987
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois 1993
B.A., North Park College, Chicago, Illinois, 1980
Professional and Personal Interests
"It is by seeking God's view of people and their motivations, and by looking at why God calls us to work, that we can manage people and best design organizations that allow people to live out their calling with dignity and joy." This is Deborah Windes' philosophy concerning organizational behavior and conceptions or misconceptions of management.
Windes has been developing this philosophy since she began to work at the age of sixteen and first wondered why some people were good managers and others were not, why managing conflicts is so difficult, and why some people are motivated to work hard while others spend their time figuring out ways to get as little done as possible.
Since these first questions arose, Windes has set out to learn the answer. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in organizational behavior, she spent more than 20 years teaching management and organizational behavior for the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Office of Continuing Education, all the while developing her philosophy and expanding it to include organizational behavior within the church.
"It should be the church that looks to Jesus' example of leadership, and then carries that example out into the world of work. We should be carefully examining Scripture to discern how God wants us to function in community and the workplace," said Windes. "Then, our scholarship and our research can seek to demonstrate to others how these principles work."
Windes takes seriously her calling as a professor and teaching her students the importance of integrated learning. She believes that a liberal arts education from the Christian perspective is the way to train students who will be able to engage with a world that questions the truth at every opportunity.
"A liberal arts education does not just impart knowledge, but also teaches us to seek an understanding of our world and our place in it," said Windes.

One-third of New Jerseyans say their personal income was directly affected by Hurricane Sandy, according to a new poll that shows a dwindling number of Garden Staters believe they are better off financially than they were a year ago.
A survey by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind found that fewer than one in five, or 18 percent, believe their financial situation is better. That's down sharply from 32 percent last January.
More than half the respondents said they are the "same" as last year, the poll showed.
"Whether the glass if half full or empty depends on what expectations you bring to this data," Krista Jenkins, director of the poll, said in a statement.
"Holding one's own in this difficult economy can be seen as a good thing just as much as not expecting to get ahead in the next year can be interpreted as a bad sign for New Jersey's economy," said Jenkins.
Unemployment fears factor into the responses. About 31 percent are "very" or "somewhat" worried they might lose their job next year, and 56 percent say they or someone close to them was out of work in the past year.
"The data paint a complicated portrait of New Jersey's economic future," Jenkins said. "Retrospectively, people haven't seen much to inspire hope for business prospects in the state."
The poll of 676 registered and unregistered voters was conducted Jan. 2 through Jan. 10, and has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Justin Trinity could be a story all by himself, but Monday afternoon he was one of the heroes as North Hunterdon High knocked off Union 6-1 in a North Jersey Section 2 Group 4 state tournament opening-round game.
A senior righthander, Trinity (4-1) went the distance on the mound as he limited the 12th-seeded visitors (13-11) to five hits and no walks while striking out three batters. It was his first career complete game, and gave NHHS its first state tourney victory since 2010.
Next up for the fifth-seeded Lions (15-10) is today's 4 p.m. matchup at Millburn, the No. 4 seed in the section.
Senior shortstop Rob Young had a big day with three hits, a run batted in and a run scored, while sophomore designated hitter Tom Schumacher had two hits and drove in two runs, one on a blast to left-center that hit off the bottom of the fence for the last run in the sixth inning.
"We wanted this win," said Young, who's been around the NHHS varsity program for three years. "This was our last big game, a game that meant something. We wanted to win and play another state game. We needed this for us and hopefully get a few more."
Senior rightfielder Drew Gianos also got a huge hit, a line-drive two-run single down the left-field line to make it 4-1 in the fifth. Head Coach Mike Kane called Gianos' hit the one that broke the game open.
Trinity's story is unique as he was cut as a freshman, and again the next year. He made the junior varsity as a junior and did fine but vowed to just work harder in the off-season. He said he wanted to be a factor on this team as a senior and he's surely done that.
He raised some eyebrows during pre-season and earned a shot to be a starting pitcher and now may be the ace of a good North Hunterdon staff.
"It was a learning experience, getting cut the first two years I didn't make the team, but I never thought about quitting," said the soft-spoken Trinity on Monday. "It just made me want it that much more and I worked hard to get better, stronger and be a good pitcher.
"Right now it's hard to tell you how I feel, because it's all in the moment. But this really has to be the biggest game of my career, no question. The team was coming off an awful loss Friday (11-1 to West Morris). But you can't harp over disappointments — you have to come back and put that all behind you. That was my approach today on the mound. I just wanted to throw strikes and get outs, and help us win this game."
Kane, who got his first state tourney win as a head coach, was thrilled with Trinity's performance.
"Justin was phenomenal, but he's thrown that way all season really," said Kane. "It was just nice to get a win in state play and move on, play another game. It was huge for us and Justin was just so calm on the mound, and got stronger in the last two innings. It was just our second complete game of the year, and he throws it in a state tournament game. He's the story!"
NHHS got a run in the third on hits by senior third baseman Greg Cocchiola and senior centerfielder Shane Brown and an error on a hard-hit ball to short by Schumacher.
In the fifth with the score tied 1-all, Brown got it going by beating out an infield single with one out. Young reached base on a hit to deep short and Schumacher lined an RBI hit up the middle. Junior second baseman Marc Monks walked to load the bases and with two out, Gianos laced a full-count pitch down the left-field line to send in two more runs for a 4-1 lead.
In the sixth Cocchiola walked, stole second and rode home on a ground-ball single to left by Young, who then scored on Schumacher's double off the fence.
"I thought it had a shot to go out when I first hit it," said Schumacher, "but as I was running to first I saw it start to drop. Heck, I'll take the double anytime if it helps us score a run. It feels like everything is coming together for me. I'm seeing the ball real well and putting the bat on it.
"We were just trying to score some runs for Justin. He battles on the mound and seems to get the easy outs. He's so smooth and never loses his cool. He pitched great for us today, but then he's done that for us all year."
Ninth-seeded Hunterdon Central (18-8) took the trek down to Monmouth County on Monday afternoon and ripped No. 8 seed Howell 11-1 in five innings in Central Jersey Group 4 state play.
Sophomore Mike Novello (5-1) was the winning pitcher as he allowed three hits and two walks while striking out three batters before Josh Susekind came in to close it out in the fifth with a strikeout.
Senior catcher Brett Mele went 4 for 4 with three runs batted in, freshman first baseman Matt Toke went 2 for 3 with two runs and an RBI and Paul Cucco was 2 for 3 with a double, three runs scored and three RBI. Sophomore Henry Hawkins had two hits and two RBI and senior shortstop Jeremy Ake had a hit and scored twice.
Next up for HCHS is a 4 p.m. home game Friday with West Windsor-Plainsboro South, a 5-3 upset winner over sectional top seed Montgomery.
No. 14 seed Delaware Valley got a super pitching and hitting afternoon from senior Scott Skripko in a 6-1 stunner at third seed Matawan (14-9) in Central Jersey Group 2 on Monday.
Skripko (2-2) allowed four hits and four walks while fanning two batters in six innings for the Terriers (9-11). He also got DelVal the lead with a monster two-run homer in the first inning, finished with three hits and drove in three runs.
Junior shortstop Chris Fiaschetti made several outstanding plays in the field, helping turn a pair of double plays, one to get Skripko out of a bases-loaded jam in the second. He also went 2 for 3 at the plate and scored a run. Senior second baseman Reed Williams also went 2 for 4 with a run scored.
Next up for DelVal is a game at sixth seed Delran on Friday afternoon. Delran, which beat Raritan in its opener, nipped the Terriers 6-5 earlier in the season at Waterfront Park in West Trenton.
South Hunterdon's Central Jersey Group 1 game at Point Pleasant Beach was rained out Monday and rescheduled for the next day.
North Hunterdon got off to a good start last week, besting Skyland Conference foes Immaculata 6-0 and Phillipsburg 14-3 before stumbling Friday in an inter-conference meeting at West Morris Central, falling 11-1 in a five-inning, mercy-rule contest.
NHHS had defeated Immaculata at home on May 14 behind a superb pitching effort from senior righthander Tyler Smith, who improved to 4-4 with a route-going five-hitter as he struck out five batters and walked one.
"Tyler pitched maybe one of his best games of the season," said Kane. "He got off to a bit of a rocky start, but really settled in and found his spots. He threw a very nice game for us."
Smith gave up four hits in the first two innings, giving up three hits and walking a batter in the second, and still didn't give up a run thanks in part to sophomore catcher Andrew Meiners, who threw out Micah Harris trying to steal second base.
Meiners made a perfect throw to the bag with shortstop Rob Young making the tag. After a walk and two hits loaded the bags with one out, Smith induced Joe Messina to hit a come-backer that Smith turned into a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning.
"We made some big plays in that inning," said Kane. "Meiners made a perfect throw to get a base-stealer and then we got the huge double play. After that they didn't really threaten at all."
Smith got nine batters in a row after that, gave up a hit and then closed it off by retiring eight more in a row, the final two via strikeouts.
Tom Schumacher had two hits and drove in two runs and senior CJ Rasile, in the designated hitter spot in this game, had two hits with a double and scored a run. Senior rightfielder Drew Gianos had two hits and an RBI and senior centerfielder Shane Brown smacked a two-run single in a four-run fourth inning.
Freshman lefty John Wilson got his first varsity start Thursday at Phillipsburg and went all five innings in the mercy-rule victory, fanning six and walking four.
"He could be a good one for us, and as he matures can only get better," said Kane. "He seemed cool on the mound in his first varsity spot and threw well — and we made the plays behind him."
NHHS smacked out 15 hits, led by Schumacher's three including a pair of doubles to drive in a career-high six runs. Brown had a big day as well, going 3 for 4 with three runs scored and driving in two with a double. Gianos had two hits and drove in two runs.
North took the road trip to Long Valley on Friday and was blasted by West Morris (14-11), with the lone bright spot a third-inning homer by Mike Ragozine, his second of the year.
Delaware Valley had a good week, winning a pair of games including Friday's Skyland-Raritan Division game under the lights of Case Field at Riegel Ridge by a 6-3 margin over Belvidere. On May 14, the host Terriers pounded Pius X of Bangor, Pa. 7-1 behind the pitching of Chris Fiaschetti.
"We did the little things better, got some good pitching and hit the ball a little," said DelVal Head Coach Marty White. "There is no secret to winning baseball games — you just have to play good baseball and this week we played better."
In the win over Pius X, Fiaschetti (4-3) threw six innings of six-hit ball, fanning two and walking three. At the plate Ryan Hann had two hits and two RBI, Chris Pilone and Scott Skripko each had two hits and an RBI and Reed Williams singled and scored twice.
Against Belvidere, sophomore lefty Logan Brown (2-2) pitched into the sixth, fanning three and allowing five hits and no walks. He got relief help from Joe Chiarino, who fanned two and walked one in two innings.
Nick Perna and Pilone each banged out three hits and drove in a run for the Terriers. Hann and Adam Novotny each added two hits and an RBI for DelVal, which broke the game open with four runs in the fifth.
Voorhees (5-15) lost two games last week, getting bested May 14 by visiting Princeton 5-1 as the Vikings got just two hits, both by Nick Marini, who drove in the lone run.
VHS was then thumped by former Skyland team North Warren 11-4 Thursday in Blairstown as the Patriots' Mike Clothier had three doubles and two RBI and Hunter Stevens had two hits and three RBI.
For the Vikes, senior Andrew Haspel crashed a two-run homer to open the scoring in the first inning. Dan Barone had an RBI double and Kyle Pierson drove in the other run.
South Hunterdon (6-12) lost a pair of close games in Skyland Conference-Valley Division play last week, losing to Gill St. Bernard's 3-1 on May 13 in Peapack-Gladstone and then getting nipped by Bound Brook 4-2 in eight innings Thursday.
"We got some good pitching but couldn't get a key hit in either game," said SHHS Head Coach Toby Jefferis. "We were competitive in both games, and had chances to win both. The effort was there, but the results weren't. Smiegocki pitched a great game and we wanted to win it for him."
In the loss to GSB, Rob Albanir gave up three hits and five walks and fanned two. Toby Coleman's double drove in a first-inning run but Gill scored three unearned runs in the fifth.
Bound Brook scored a pair of unearned runs in the eighth to nip the Eagles, who got a superb pitching effort from sophomore righty Jimmy Smiegocki. Smiegocki (4-4) fanned a dozen batters and walked just one.
Jake Phillips had two hits and scored a run and Smiegocki cracked a double and scored the other Eagle run.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Todd Rains doesn't remember anything about last year's Cleveland Triathlon. Not a single moment.
He doesn't remember the pains he likely felt while swimming in Lake Erie. He doesn't remember getting off his bike and collapsing on the side of the Shoreway.
He doesn't remember the chest compressions administered for 15 minutes by Humberto Choi and Melani Sherman, two doctors who happened to be competing and hopped off their bikes to help.
He doesn't remember the cardiac arrest, the three mini-strokes, the transport to two hospitals, or the week-long induced coma that eventually led to quintuple bypass surgery.
"It's probably for the best that he doesn't remember anything from that day," Sherman said in a recent phone interview.
Rains has heard the whole story countless times by now, though. All about how the then-44 year old must have collapsed at some point in the bike portion of the Cleveland Triathlon, how perhaps the only two people who might have been able to save him – a pulmonary specialist and an ER resident – happened to bike by soon after.
He knows Choi and Sherman saved his life, and he's grateful for the past year they gave him to spend with his wife and three young daughters – which is why he'll be there Sunday to cheer on Choi and Sherman as they compete in the triathlon again.
Rains' triathlon days are behind him, he says, but he has a whopper of a story to tell about the only one in which he ever competed.
"I'm thankful for the miracle," Rains said. "That's what this is. I have not met a single medical person who doesn't use the word 'miracle' with me. They always look at me and tell me that I shouldn't even be alive."
Which is odd, considering Rains was in the best physical shape of his life just before the 2013 event. He had trained for five months for the sprint distance -- .4-mile swim, 16-mile bike and 3.1-mile run – and had a full physical three weeks before the race in which he checked out in excellent health.
Rains completed the difficult Lake Erie swim, and at some point during the bike, collapsed on the side of the road. Choi, a pulmonary and critical care specialist at Cleveland Clinic, happened to be biking by when he saw a commotion.
"I turned around quickly," Choi said. "I didn't know who the person was, but I just said, 'I'm a doctor, I can help, does anybody know what's going on?'"
Onlookers thought Rains was having a seizure, but Choi immediately recognized that Rains was turning blue, not breathing effectively or moving purposefully – all signs of cardiac arrest. He instructed someone to call 9-1-1, and began performing CPR.
Somewhere in the middle of chest compressions, Sherman was biking by, as well, and stopped.
"I'm an emergency medicine resident," shouted the Akron General doctor. She began helping Choi count out compressions, trading off the hard work of keeping Rains' blood flowing to vital organs.
It was about 15 minutes before an ambulance could make it through the course obstacles and to Rains.
"It felt like forever," Choi said.
An ambulance shuttled Rains to nearby Lutheran Hospital, and then to Fairview Hospital where his body temperature could be purposefully cooled to force his blood to go to vital organs and the brain that needed it most.
His wife, Kelly, and three daughters, who were waiting for him at the finish line, didn't know what had happened or where to find him for nearly three hours.
And Choi and Sherman? With just a few miles left to bike and a 5K left to run, they finished the race. Both thought they had just witnessed an athlete die.
"I thought I've got to finish this race for this guy I don't know who was trying to do the race," Sherman said. "I was pretty sure everyone at the finish line had no idea what was going on. I thought it was important to get this information to the finish line."
Choi, originally from Brazil, had to get back to his parents who were visiting from his native country and didn't speak English.
"In the critical care side, I see a lot of patients have the same problems (Rains did) and they don't usually do well," Choi said. "I thought he would not survive."
Both doctors went so far as to perform Google searches and check The Plain Dealer for the next week for news of a triathlete who had died during the race. Neither saw anything.
But a week later, Rains' brother spotted a Plain Dealer story about two Brazilian travelers who didn't speak English who were helped by Cavaliers player Anderson Varejao at the airport. That was Choi's parents.
The story mentioned Choi had performed a selfless act by helping someone who collapsed during the triathlon – and Rains' brother instantly knew it was the same person. He reached out to ask Choi and Sherman to come to see Rains in the hospital – because their actions had saved Rains' life.
"He did not do CPR, he did perfect CPR," Rains said. "Google '15 minutes of CPR;' it's just not good. Nothing happened by accident. God had a plan that day. He showed up and she showed up."
It has not been an easy year of recovery for Rains. He contracted pneumonia immediately after suffering cardiac arrest – he'd aspirated all the Lake Erie water he had gulped during the race – which delayed surgery. He developed a blood clot in his lungs shortly after his quintuple bypass surgery.
But since May, he said he's back to feeling 100 percent.
"It's an incredible recovery considering what he went through," Sherman said. "I've seen people all the time in the ER who go into cardiac arrest, and are in the type of situation he was in. Maybe 5 percent are able to come back, and even less than 1 percent end up walking out the hospital. It's pretty incredible."
And best of all, he's found his "new best friends." Rains, Choi and Sherman have developed the kind of friendship in which they refer to each other as "family." Both spent Christmas with Rains' large family – where he showered daughters Lundyn, 11, Delaney, 9, and Faith, 5, with the kind of mountains of gifts given only by a man with a second chance.
"It was over-the-top," he admitted. "They got everything."
Despite the busy schedules of two doctors, they manage to get together whenever possible.
"For a long time I couldn't even be around them without crying," Rains said. "How do you say thank you? You can't buy them enough dinners and lunches. They're just awesome people. They're the kind of people you want to save your life."
Rains has started running again, and is up to 1.5 miles. He hopes to do a 5K, but admits his triathlon days are over. Choi and Sherman, however, both will compete in Sunday's Cleveland Triathlon – and Rains will be there cheering them on.
"We spoke several times about why everything happened so perfectly," Choi said. "We had never heard a story like this with someone recovering so fast. Why this was not his time. I told him, when I saw his daughters, 'That's the reason. That's a good reason to stay around.'
"He's not taking it for granted. He's taking care of his daughters and his wife, and being a good man."
Said Rains: "I'm getting back to living, that's for sure."

The 2015 class may not be littered with the star-studded players that sat atop the rankings of the 2014 class, but it offers considerably more depth than its predecessor.
The rate in which Louisiana produces top-level college football prospects is staggering. That number only seems to be increasing as the state as a whole is on an uptick. Every player on this list should have an opportunity to play at a major-conference school with just as many prospects who didn't make it also having the same opportunity. In particular, the wide receiver position offers the most depth.
In this five-part series, we will list the players who stood out most at this early stage of the process after countless hour of film study, camp, game and practice evaluations. By no means will this list remain the same as the offseason progresses, so stay tuned for updates down the road.
Without further ado, we bring to you the NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune Nifty 50 for the Class of 2015.
When you look at Henry in person, it's hard not to see him as a future linebacker. He has a very thick core, lower body and seems to be well on his way to 225 pounds or more as he develops further. Nevertheless, he is surely a high-caliber prospect who does a lot of good work around the line of scrimmage. He has pretty good feet and plays with a level of intensity needed to play on the defensive side of the ball.
9. Joe Anderson, DE, 6-4, 240, Riverside
In a year that has quite a large amount of solid Division I prospects at the defensive end position, Anderson has the package that really jumps out to me. He is a very good athlete for a prospect of his size. His get-off is impressive; he can get the edge on opposing linemen with a quick first step. There is no doubt that he is a little raw, as all the defensive ends on this Nifty 50 list could fit the bill, but he has a lot of upside. As time goes on, expect Anderson to make a nice jump in the recruiting services' rankings.
Joe Anderson junior highlights
8. Terrell Chatman, WR, 6-3, 185, Central-Baton Rouge
Watching him in camp you notice a lot of the little things he needs to improve, but when the lights come on Friday nights, he performs at a very high level. His ball skills are elite, his fluidity rare for such a long receiver, and he has only begun to scratch the surface of the immense amount of talent he possesses. Some may question his speed, but look at the tape; he certainly runs well as he consistently pulls away from defenders. Chatman is being undervalued and under-recruited right now, but that should change as people become more familiar with him. In my opinion, he has more upside than any wide receiver in the state.
Terrell Chatman junior highlights
7. Nicholas Brossette, RB, 6-0, 225, University, LSU commitment
Brossette has been toting the rock at a high level since his freshman year at University. After earning offers from LSU, USC, Florida and Alabama among others, he declared for LSU. He is a throwback of sorts; playing a smash-mouth style of football and earning a lot of his yardage after contact. Most of his work will be done between the tackles at the next level as Brossette doesn't have the speed to attack the edge. As a receiver, he shows reliable hands and can be effective as an outlet receiver.
6. Jazz Ferguson, WR, 6-5, 210, West Feliciana, LSU commitment
There are a plethora of long receivers in Louisiana and Ferguson is the biggest of the group. It's one thing to possess the size and a whole other to use it; Ferguson uses it. He does a good job high-pointing the ball with his arms extended, making him a matchup nightmare for defenders. He doesn't have great speed, but he has good quickness for a prospect his size. There is a chance that his body naturally develops into a 230-pound or more player who could slide to a tight end role if indeed it comes to fruition.
5. Xavier Lewis, DB, 6-0, 180, East St. John
Every time you see him, Lewis looks to have grown a bit, and I see him fairly often. His added size only adds to his impressive play on the football field. He is a driven, focused competitor who plays with a high level of intensity. On the 7-on-7 circuit, Lewis played as an inside corner and showed great footwork and technique for a prospect who was only a sophomore and hadn't played the position much at that stage of his career. His instincts are one of his best attributes, so having him play facing up and allowing him to use his eyes may be best to utilize his abilities.
Xavier Lewis junior highlights
4. Derrick Dillon, ATH, 5-11, 175, Pine
There are so many adjectives that could be used when describing Dillon's game. He is extremely gifted and, as a result, a lot of schools view him playing various positions. His toughness, fluidity and ball skills have some college defensive backs coaches believing he is an ideal cornerback prospect. What he does with the ball in his hands shows that he could be really good at receiver or even running back if he's used properly in the right system that fits his skill set. In my opinion, he has all the tools to play running back, wide receiver or defensive back, with cornerback offering the most upside.
3. Derrius Guice, RB, 5-9, 210, Catholic
If you enjoy watching film of exciting offensive players, Guice's is worth grabbing a soda and some popcorn. His reckless running style and explosiveness make even average plays entertaining. He is a determined runner who has really good speed, quickness and acceleration. When someone does get a clean shot on him, they often get the worst end of the deal as his low pad level and power is difficult to handle. As a receiver, Guice is a mismatch for linebackers and shows a reliable set of hands. There is so much to like about this prospect as he has a bright future at the next level.
Derrius Guice junior highlights
2. Jerry Tillery, OT, 6-6, 320, Evangel, Notre Dame commitment
It was difficult to keep Tillery this high as he played a lot of defensive tackle last year for Evangel and he is being projected as an offensive tackle, by me at least. But when it came down to it, I had to trust my eyes and they told me he has the tools to be a top-flight left tackle. As a sophomore, he was one of the most impressive linemen on film that you would find anywhere in the country. He is very flexible, has great natural strength and plays with a mean streak. By his second year in college, I believe Tillery will be a starting tackle at a major college program. He is currently committed to Notre Dame, but there will be many schools that try to sway him from that stance, including the in-state LSU Tigers.
Jerry Tillery sophomore highlights
1. Tyron Johnson, WR, 6-1, 190, Warren Easton
There is a real battle for number one in my eyes, but for now, Johnson has shown me enough to earn that top spot. There isn't a wide receiver in the state who can do what he does with the ball in his hands. He is extremely elusive in the open field and can take a short pass, make defenders miss and take it the distance. His route running has improved greatly and his rigorous training regimen is obviously paying off. He will provide an immediate addition to special teams as an elite punt returner. To hold the number one ranking you have to be pretty special. Johnson is certainly that.
Tyron Johnson junior highlights
**Due to transfer rules, Woodlawn-Shreveport defensive tackle T.D. Moton didn't play last year and as a result, he didn't appear in this release. The state's top defensive tackle prospect will likely make his debut in our spring update after putting in some work at camps.

|Re: [TowerTalk] Whole House Surge Suppressors

Dale, I am fortunate that my rural electric co-op only charges $5.99 a month! But I chose having them provide the whole house protection because: (1) located at the meter, outside the house. (2) Clear indication if protection is lost (two green LEDs lit when okay). I check it when I drive in/out of the property. (3) They fix it at no cost to me. (4) some amount of insurance protection, but I haven't read that literature. I am located near the top of a high hill. We are also the "last" house on a very long power line run, no other houses to share and disperse the strike past us. From reading the other posts, I feel better about my decision. I just wish I had initially made it when I first moved back to Arkansas.

Superstorm Sandy caused $36.8 billion in damage in New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday.
Christie is requesting that amount, which is greater than the state's entire budget, from the federal government.
More than 30,000 homes or businesses were destroyed or suffered substantial damage.
The governor said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has distributed more than $500 million in aid since the storm, and 230,000 New Jerseyans have registered for assistance.

Voting closes at 11:59 tonight. So it's not too late.
The great thing about this vote is that one doesn't have to examine political positions, meet campaigning politicians or even leave the house. Just fire up the computer and do it.
Do what, you ask? Vote to advance the Bedeque and Area Recreation Centre forward in the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville challenge. The small Island village, the only entry from P.E.I. left in the competition, needs your help. Many of the other 16 remaining communities are much larger, so this is another one of those times when it is all for one and one for all.
On Saturday, the centre was named to the list of 16 competitors left in the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville challenge, eight from eastern Canada and eight from western Canada. The much-anticipated announcement was made during Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. More importantly it guarantees the local rink at least $25,000 in arena upgrades. But why quit now? If we all rally behind BARC we can make a push for the grand prize; $100,000 in rink upgrades, a 2014/15 NHL preseason game, and a visit from CBC.
The local rink is in need of some major renovations, not the least of which is a 65-year-old ice plant and other serious issues that need to be repaired before next season.
To show its support, and in true Island fashion, the City of Summerside has decided to help its neighbour by throwing its support behind the cause, encouraging residents to vote early and often and by offering to play host to the NHL game should Bedeque win – the stadium must meet certain criteria to host the NHLers and the Bedeque facility just isn't there.
Kevin Schurman, chairman of the board of directors for the facility, is very excited about the prospect.
He noted that Central Bedeque is a small community but has a lot of support from Islanders who have played at the arena over the years. And that's good because they need that support. There were more than 700 postings during the first round of the competition.
The challenge now, said Schurman, will be to use what time is left to encourage voting to make it to the top four.
The Bedeque and Area Recreation Centre is up against the Credit Union Centre in Kingston, N.S., and Amherst Stadium in Amherst, N.S., as regional competitiors.
Other eastern Canadian challengers are facilities in Richmond, Prescott, Beeton and Exeter in Ontario; and one in Chicoutimi, Québec.
To make it to the top will be no small feat, but if we work together we can help the volunteers at BARC and support our fellow Islanders.
So vote often.

Six touchdowns.
Most Southeastern Conference teams can — and sometimes do — score that many in a game.
For Vanderbilt, that was its meager total in its eight conference contests of 2009. Five came from the offense — only one score was longer than seven yards — and the other came from special teams.
The problem, for the most part, was confined to conference play. The Commodores topped 30 points three times against non-conference opponents. Predictably, the offense has received a lot of focus since November, with the obvious goal being to make it less ... well, offensive.

SOUTH HAVEN — The city of South Haven has recouped $450,000 in tax breaks and incentives granted an auto parts supplier that closed its plant last June, putting 350 people out of work.
| South Haven planners delay action on proposed ethanol plant
Over a 10-year period, Pullman Industries and later Noble, which purchased Pullman in 2006, were granted $1 million in industrial-facilities tax abatements by the city, mostly for various forms of capital investment and job creation, Dissette said.
The city, which originally sought to recapture all of the tax money, had been in negotiations with Noble for two months before reaching a settlement that was approved by the City Council this week.
"Because they (Noble) failed to keep up their end of the deal, they were in violation of their contracts with the city," Dissette said. "We are satisfied with the settlement."
The settlement money will be divided equally between the city's Local Development Finance Authority and South Haven Public Schools, the city manager said.
Last year, the city estimated it would lose about $67,000 per year in property taxes and $70,000 in utilities revenue because of the plant closure.
Pullman, a leader in roll forming, opened the 150,000-square-foot facility in the city's I-196 Business Park in the mid-1990s. Noble, a supplier of laser-welded blanks and tubes, roll-formed products and steel components, took over the facility in 2006 after acquiring Pullman.

Two homes hit by burglars
Two home burglaries were reported within a day of each other in Snoqualmie late last month.
The two break-ins happened within a few blocks of each other, too, but don't appear to be related, Snoqualmie police said.
The homes were entered by an unsecured window or door in the daytime hours Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 25 and 26. The first burglary happened at the 6900 block of Silent Creek Avenue Southeast, while the second took place at the 35000 block of Rhododendron Drive Southeast.
The thief or thieves appeared to know what they were looking for in the first burglary, taking an estimated $15,000 worth of valuables. In the second instance, the home had been ransacked. Numerous items were taken from that home, including a lot of jewelry. There were no suspects, and no value on the stolen items was available as of press time. Police have notified local pawn shops about the stolen merchandise.
If caught, the burglar would face first degree residential burglary charges.
As residents prepare to travel during the holidays, police remind them to notify neighbors when they will be away. Residents should keep their doors and windows locked at all times, and dial 911 if they see any suspicious activity.

text: I've sampled king cakes from almost everyone (Rouse's isn't half bad by the way). I do have to award this year's crown to the chefs at Dianne Randazzo's, however. They have the right recipe, in my book at least. So far I've tasted the regular, the cream cheese and the praline. I'd have to say that hands down, the regular and the cream cheese are worth driving from at least as far away as Lafayette. The praline is a little to "nouveau" for me and I'm a traditionalist, although my grandkids really loved it. I don't know the relationship between Dianne and Manny, but I would bet it will be getting more competitive here shortly, as there was no waiting at her shop and the lady behind the counter was really very nice. I would have to give them an A+ for this year and I hope that they don't lose touch with their customers in the coming years.

Lincoln police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a park Thursday morning.
People who live near Peter Pan Park called police around 10:40 a.m. Officers soon found the body of Jarvis Long, 27, who was declared dead.
According to Lincoln police, Long had been stabbed several times, and his death is being investigated as a homicide.
Police said that Long was walking between his friends' homes in the Clinton/Malone neighborhood late Wednesday night, and it's not uncommon as walking was Long's known form of transportation.
Officers are asking anyone who may have seen or visited with Long on Wednesday or early Thursday to contact an investigator at 402-441-6000.
Information can also be reported anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.

Authorities say Lynne Vonschondorf, 58, of Notre Dame Avenue, was working when she collected benefits between May 4 and Aug. 16, 2009.
It's not specified in court papers where she was allegedly working. A law enforcement source said she works a registered nurse at Clove Lakes Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Castleton Corners, but it wasn't clear if she was purported to be working there in 2009.
She was arrested on Tuesday morning and charged with third-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records.
Her lawyer, Mario Gallucci, said on Wednesday that she was, in fact, unemployed during that timeframe, and that the charges were based on a misunderstanding about her work status.
"I believe when the dust settles that Ms. Vonschondorf will be cleared of all the charges," he said.

At first glance, Barbara Rock's new cane may look like another generic walking stick people use to help get around – except this one has a 1 million-volt electrical charge hidden inside.
Rock, 70, recently purchased a Zap Cane, a walking cane that has a stun gun built in for the personal protection of the user.
The cane has an adjustable length of 32 to 36 inches and can support up to 250 pounds of weight. Toward the bottom of the cane are 7.5 inches of electrodes that deliver a shock of up to 1 million volts to the cane's tip – essentially, a stun gun.
"I was talking about buying a gun. I was very leery about that," said Rock, who first heard about the cane several weeks ago when talking with a friend who is a gun enthusiast but bought a couple of the canes.
The Zap Cane is just one of a variety of personal protection products made by P.S. Products in Little Rock, Arkansas, Hannah Dunlap, account executive for P.S. Products, said that while 1 million volts may seem high, it's still a non-lethal charge, and all the products the company sells are non-lethal. She emphasized that the device is not to be confused with a Taser, which shoots metal prongs into a subject and can be lethal.
"It's a stun gun, but it will not kill you or anyone else," she said of the Zap Cane. "It's to be used as a weapon of defense so you can get away."
P.S. Products has been in business since 1992 and started with "door-to-door pepper spray," according to Dunlap. Devices like the Zap Cane have been on the market for about five years, and it's one of P.S. Products' top three sellers. It costs between $80 and $100.
Stun gun and Taser devices are restricted or banned in some states or counties, and P.S. Products makes buyers aware of any restrictions where they live when they're shopping for a product. Rock said she checked with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office before purchasing her cane.
While older clientele are the targeted audience for the product, Dunlap said people of all ages use it.
"People that like to walk or jog in the evenings, it's also great to ward off any other animals," she said.
The cane is powered by a rechargeable battery and comes with a charging adapter. A switch has to be turned on and a button pressed in order to activate the stun gun, eliminating the risk of accidental shock, Dunlap said.
"They have more than one switch that has to be on at the same time," she said. "There's not a lot of room for accidents to happen with this."
Even though the cane isn't lethal, Rock said she is still hesitant about using it and plans to go with pepper spray instead.
"I don't want to kill anybody or even take the chance on killing anybody," she said. "If I had a gun, I would hesitate so long that they could take the gun away from me and use it on me."

Fab Melo might stand 7-feet tall and weigh 244 pounds and wear sneakers that would comfortably house the little old lady who lived in a shoe and all her children, but it's all about baby steps right now for the Syracuse freshman.
Melo, who had looked lost in Syracuse's first six games, took some baby steps in the Orange's 78-58 win over visiting Cornell on Tuesday night.
Melo registered modest career-highs in nearly every major statistical category with eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks against the Big Red.
"That was my best (game) so far,'' Melo said, "but I think it can get much better.''
He scored Syracuse's first points of the game, dunking off a nice entry pass from Rick Jackson. He followed that up with a blocked shot. Later, Scoop Jardine Waiters drove and dished to Melo, who threw down another dunk.
"I was moving my feet better,'' Melo said. "I was rebounding and blocking shots. That's what I do.''
The solid performance came less than a week after Melo's low point of the early season. After Melo gave up three scoring opportunities in less than four minutes against Michigan last Friday, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim removed him from the game and kept the young center on the bench for the remainder of the game.
Syracuse junior Kris Joseph noted that Melo's been getting extra help from senior forward Rick Jackson and former SU center Arinze Onuaku.
"He's been struggling a little bit,'' Joseph said. "The college game's different. He has a mentor like Rick Jackson, helping him. That's been working out well in practice and after practice. Even Arinze. He's still a voice that we hear a lot and he's been trying to help Fab a lot.''
Recruit attends game
A very young potential recruit attended Syracuse's game against Cornell on Tuesday.
Nick Madray, a 6-foot-8 high school sophomore from Toronto, took in the game at the Carrier Dome.
Madray attends Stephen Lewis High School in Toronto. He's gaining notice from several colleges, but the United States-based ratings services have yet to take note. He's a slender small forward who reportedly had 3-point shooting ability.

North Bend tow truck driver reported killed in accident on Snoqualmie Pass
KNDO-TV in Yakima reports that the Washington State Troopers are looking into a highway accident last weekend on the summit of Snoqualmie Pass that killed a North Bend tow truck driver.
The accident happened on Sunday afternoon, according to Washington State Trooper reports. A North Bend man, Jason Halstead, died when he was helping a Bonney Lake man, 28, whose pickup was stuck in snow on the shoulder of Interstate 90.
A Newcastle man driving past in the left lane lost control, slid across all lanes, hit the pickup and struck the driver, killing him.
No one else was injured.

What is in this article?:
- Virginia ag field day set Sept. 14
- Fewer disease problems
Visitors to this year's Late Season Field Crops Tour at the Tidewatger Agricultural Research & Extension Center near Suffolk, Va., will get a look at several fall cotton defoliation strategies.
More About:
Fewer disease problems
Extremely dry and hot weather has reduced disease problems in most crops, but diminished yield potential makes it more critical to manage harvest-time diseases. Virginia Tech researchers will discuss some things for growers to consider as they move toward harvest time for peanuts, cotton and soybeans.
Peanut variety and maturity assessment will be a timely topic as Virginia growers seek to salvage as much of their crop as possible. Heat and drought have kept peanuts in a drought situation for most of the growing season and will likely produce a non-uniform crop, making harvest timing more challenging.
Grain sorghum isn't a major crop in Virginia, but one in which growers have shown more interest in recent years. At the Sept. 14 Virginia Tech field day, growers will have a chance to look at a number of grain sorghum varieties.
Insects, especially spider mites, can be the final nail in the coffin for a drought-plagued crop. Adding insult to injury can put an even bigger damper on what is shaping up to be a less than average yield for crops across the board in Virginia.
During the meeting, there will be an exhibit by agricultural product manufacturers and ag services. There also will be updates by FSA and NRCS officials.
Registration for the meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. and the tour begins promptly at 2:00 p.m. For more information concerning the meeting, contact Gail White at the Tidewater Station —757) 657-6450, ext. 430 or email@example.com.

Riverside Academy boys basketball coach Timmy Byrd said he knew that star player Ricardo Gathers had made up his mind about which college he would play for and that he was ready to commit. But even Byrd was surprised when he did it.
Gathers, a 6-foot-6 power forward from LaPlace, who was heavily recruited by LSU, among others, committed Monday night to Baylor.
"I just felt like Baylor was the best choice for me," said Gathers, who committed in August to St. John's but de-committed in November. "The atmosphere, the students, the coaches, the players. It's all I was looking for in a team."
Gathers said he strongly considered LSU. In fact, he said, LSU was the main reason he de-committed from St. John's.
"But I just felt like LSU didn't put forth that much effort," he said. "Coach (Trent) Johnson never came to see one game this season."
Gathers told The Advocate Johnson saw him play only one time, at a game at Scotlandville in Baton Rouge. Gather has attended several LSU basketball games this season but has never made an official visit. He decommitted from St. John's last year.
Coaches are limited in what they can say about unsigned recruits but Johnson denied there was a lack of interest and indicated Gathers was a high priority.
"Do you honestly think any coach in the country has seen Ricardo Gathers play more than I have?" he questioned in a quote in The Advocate.
Gathers visited Baylor last month and is eligible to sign when the spring signing perios commences April 11. Byrd said he knew Gathers was ready to announce his decision.
"He had talked about it last week, but I thought he was going to wait until around the 18th," Byrd said. "But apparently, he and his brother decided and made the call (Monday) night. They called Baylor, then they called ESPN."
"The whole coaching staff erupted," Gathers said. "I feel great. I'm ready to get to Waco and get started."
