Game Notes (ETSU vs. Tennessee Tech)
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team will enter the new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season. The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs top two returning starters are guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU players to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones is academically ineligible for the first semester ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU will be looking to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) are expected to increase their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) will look to blossom into early contributors. ... On the interior, Poderis and Walton will need help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville). While they may have plenty of questions entering the season, the Bucs' schedule will not provide much patience for development. The team will face teams such as North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss and Georgia in the opening weeks of the season, and will host 2011 Final Four participant VCU (Jan. 2) just days before the start of the Atlantic Sun Conference slate. The team will also enjoy a Christmas holiday trip to the Diamond Head Classic and face Arizona in the first round of that event on Dec. 22.
Last time out
BLACKSBURG, Va. (Nov. 10, 2012) – The youthful ETSU men's basketball team knew the early portion of its 2012-13 schedule would be a learning process. The first lesson of the year came Saturday afternoon at Virginia Tech. ... Despite quality play from their batch of freshmen and newcomers – including a team-high 20 points from redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) – the Buccaneers had no answers against Atlantic Coast Conference opponent Virginia Tech, as the Hokies made 10 shots from beyond the 3-point line and shot over 50 percent in the first half en route to an 80-62 win at Cassell Coliseum. ... Wilson joined a group of five ETSU players who were making their first ever appearance in an NCAA Division I game. The group included true freshman guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.), along with junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville). ... While Wilson scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds, McClain made the start at point guard and responded with six points and three assists in 29 minutes of action. Meanwhile, Barrueta pitched in four points and a rebound in 15 minutes of play. ... ETSU out-rebounded this ACC foe 39-37 and swiped 14 offensive rebounds. In addition, the Bucs outscored the Hokies 36-26 in the paint and held a 36-17 edge in points off the bench.
The series versus Tennessee Tech
The Bucs and Golden Eagles have met 70 times since beginning their basketball series back in 1923 ... ETSU holds a 36-34 edge in the all-time series, but despite having won six in a row, the Bucs lost the last meeting between the two 83-74 back on Dec. 7, 2011.
Last time out against Tennessee Tech
COOKEVILLE (Dec. 7, 2011) – Outscoring the ETSU men's basketball team 24-4 in the opening minutes of the second half, Tennessee Tech built a lead of as many as 28 points and ultimately cruised to a 83-74 win over the Buccaneers in non-conference basketball action at the Eblen Center. ... The loss extended the Buccaneers current losing streak to four games, as ETSU dropped to 3-5 on the season. Meanwhile, Tech – who had lost six straight to ETSU before this contest – improved to 4-4. ... In the first half, the Bucs and Golden Eagles traded baskets for 12 minutes of game play and were tied at 17-17 with 8:23 left before the intermission. However, at that point, an eight-point run by Tech led to a lead of as many as nine points at 33-24 with just under four minutes left on the clock. ... A 3-pointer by ETSU's Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and a layup by teammate Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) then made it a four-point game at 33-29 with 1:20 left, but Tech outscored the Bucs 4-0 in the final minute to make it 37-29 at the break. ... Another nightmarish start to the second half put the Bucs in major trouble, as Tennessee Tech came out on fire from beyond the 3-point line and went on a 14-2 run. The Golden Eagles didn't stop there, as they went on another 10-2 over the next two minutes to make it 61-33 with 12:57 remaining. ... ETSU tried to rally at that point, cutting the lead to 13 points at 72-59 thanks to a traditional three-point play by freshman guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) with 5:50 left in the game. The Bucs kept clawing away and ultimately got to within nine to close out the game, but never truly threatened the Golden Eagles.
Bartow atop list of second generation coaches
Murry Bartow's coaching lineage is undeniable ... As the son of the late Gene Bartow, he had the fortunate opportunity to grow up learning from one of the most successful basketball coaches in college history ... Setting off on his own career, Murry has carried on the family tradition of success ... His 61 percent winning percentage at ETSU makes him the winningest Buccaneers' head coach by percentage, and his 179 career wins ranks second on the ETSU all-time list ... In addition, Murry's 282 career victories ranks No. 1 among second generation college coaches, besting the 252 wins by John Thompson III ... Along with his father's 647 career wins, the Bartow men have combined for 929 victories, ranking fourth on the all-time win list for Father/Son coaches.
Wilson named A-Sun Newcomer of the Week
Many ETSU basketball fans had been eagerly awaiting the debut of redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville). Against Virginia Tech last Saturday, the 6-foot-4 forward did not disappoint. ... Posting a team-high 20 points to go along with nine rebounds, Wilson was definitely impressive against the Hokies. For his efforts, he was named the Atlantic Sun Conference newcomer of the week on Tuesday. ... In that game last week, Wilson hit on 8-of-15 shots from the field and was 3-of-6 from 3-point range, as he came off the bench to play 27 minutes.
Home Sweet Dome ... against non-conference teams
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 153-48 overall inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 77 percent ... But when looking at the past 11 years, the Bucs are an even more impressive 46-4 against non-conference opponents ... Last year, the Bucs went 10-3 overall at the Dome and a perfect 4-0 against non-conference opponents.
McClain makes start at point, Barrueta provides valuable play
True freshmen Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) showed signs of a bright future in the Bucs' loss at Virginia Tech ... McClain started at point guard and played 29 minutes, scoring six points and dishing out three assists ... Meanwhile, Barrueta came off the bench to net four points on 2-of-2 shooting.
Talented Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... This season, the team has 13 active players on the roster and only 13 total years of Division I experience combined among all those student-athletes ... On average, that's just one year of experience per player on average ... With four freshmen and two sophomores that means that nearly half the team are "underclassmen."
Bucs ranked 2nd, Cooley 12th in steals a year ago
Key to the Bucs' success last year was the ability to swipe the ball from opponents ... Senior Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) returns this season after ranking 12th nationally with 2.48 steals per game, and as a team, the Bucs ranked second nationally with 10.2 steals per game.
Dubose to be counted on to provide offensive spark
Last season, senior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) ranked third on the team with an average of 10.8 points per game ... Those numbers were solid for a first-year junior college transfer, and he also posted statistics such as 16 games of double-figure scoring and six games of 20-plus points ... However, consistency was an issue at times for Dubose, who also posted nine games of five points or less ... Head coach Murry Bartow has publicly stated that a key to the Bucs' success this season will be having Dubose become a more consistent offensive threat.
Walton on his way up the depth chart
After playing limited minutes a year ago, forward John Walton (Memphis) has been impressing the ETSU coaching staff during the preseason ... After hinting that Walton would demand more playing time this year, ETSU head caoch Murry Bartow started the 6-foot-7 sophomore in the Bucs' opener at Virginia Tech ... Walton responded with career highs for points (8), rebounds (5) and minuts played (30).
Junior college transfers set to power Bucs' inside game
With the signing of junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville), the Bucs are hoping to have added some strength -- and beef -- to their inside game this season ... At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Gadsden-Gilliard is a rare combination of size and agility, while Harris is a high energy player who can rebound and block shots at a high level ... With the loss of senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) for the season due to a foot injury, the expectations for Harris and KGG have only risen. ... In the season opener at Virginia Tech, KGG and Harris combined for 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.

Redskins' Davis charged with DWI a day after suspension for NFL substance abuse violation
VIENNA, Va. – Authorities in northern Virginia say Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis has been charged with driving while intoxicated a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.
Fairfax County Police say 28-year-old Davis was stopped in Tysons Corner around 4 p.m. Thursday and arrested.
Police declined to discuss why Davis was stopped. A court date has not yet been set.
The NFL announced Wednesday that Davis was suspended indefinitely without pay. Davis, who will become a free agent next month, said in a statement Thursday that the suspension resulted from taking a supplement that contained a banned substance, not recreational drug use, which prompted his 2011 suspension.
Court records show more than two dozen traffic-related charges against Davis in recent years.

The holidays are fun, but they can be overwhelmingly stressful. Between buying all the right gifts, making sure you don't completely blow your bank account, getting the Christmas cookies up to Mom's standards, and figuring out the perfect holiday outfit -- it feels like if every little thing isn't just how you hoped it would be, you've failed.
I get it. I've been there. You want to make everyone happy. The truth is, though, that they don't have to be as hectic as everyone makes them out to be. What's a busy woman to do around the holidays? Remain calm. Trust me, it's possible! Check out our 7 easy tips to staying calm during the holiday rush:
1. Avoid the stores: Heading out to the mall or the outlets this time of year is a recipe for pure chaos. People are out shopping for things without an agenda, have no idea WHAT to buy, and are just plain in your way. Instead order online and avoid the hassle. Just make sure you click "checkout" in time for your gifts to arrive by the holidays!
2. Check for coupon codes: Googling coupon and promotional codes online can save you a whole boatload of money and get you free swag, too! Spending less money = a happier, healthier you.
3. Plan out your menu: Why freak out about planning a menu the day before Christmas Eve? Instead, decide what you want to make now. This way you can figure out which items you can prepare in advance.
4. Work out: Working out relieves stress, period. I know getting to the gym or slipping into those sneakers may be a hassle, but getting sweaty is a great way to take out your frustrations on something other than your partner.
5. Do one thing a day to treat for yourself: Aside from the workout, do one thing each day that's a little treat for you. Whether it's setting aside 15 minutes to sit down with a warm cup of tea, taking the extra time to get your makeup just right in the morning, or my favorite treat -- something involving chocolate -- don't forget to take care of yourself, too.
6. Delegate tasks: Delegating will save you a major headache later on. For example, if you know that your in-laws are coming for the holidays and your mother-in-law just LOVES sugar cookies, ask if your cousin can bring them along and save yourself the stress.
7. Outfit yourself: Don't wait until the morning of the holidays to figure out what you want to wear. They only come around once a year, so treat yourself and find something flirty and seasonal to complete your day.
Do you find the holidays stressful?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday were filled with a lot of HDTV sales — and yes, a lot of those HDTVs were also 3D TVs. However, people aren't just looking for 3D during the holidays. NPD DisplaySearch says that more 3D TVs are filling the market than ever before.
The company's new report titled, "NPD DisplaySearch Quarterly Large-Area TFT LCD Shipment Report – Advanced LED + 3D," says that 6.6 million 3D LCD TVs shipped in the third quarter of 2011. This is a 27 percent increase over the last quarter. That number is expected to rise again in the fourth quarter, with NPD saying that a total of 21.5 million 3D TVs will ship in 2011.
Of course, that's probably because the cost of the 3D premium has really dropped a lot over the past year.
"The TFT LCD industry has been in oversupply for six consecutive quarters, which has influenced the price premium for 3D panels," says David Hsieh, VP of the Greater China market for NPD DisplaySearch. "While there are still many questions about the lack of 3D content and services, as well as end-users' needs, LCD TV panel makers have been strongly promoting 3D through lower prices and the introduction of new, cost-effective technologies."
As Big Picture Big Sound recently noted, the price gap between 3D and non-3D sets has narrowed down to as little as $10. So why not go for the extra features? That said, as CNET points out, that added functionality doesn't necessarily translate into people clamoring for 3D or even using the features once they have them. That could change, though, if more 3D content becomes available.
NPD says that further 3D adoption could actually lead to more 3D content for the mainstream, adding that manufacturers are hoping that new low-cost 3D solutions will help 3D take 20 percent of the LCD TV market by this time next year.

Opinion: Baucus's Swan Song
Editorial board member Steve Moore on Montana Senator Max Baucus's retirement in 2014 and what it means for tax reform. Photos: Associated Press
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... news of Montana Senator Max Baucus his retirement next year ... I set off a flurry of speculation ... about whether or not Republicans can pick up the seek and what it means for tax reform ... editorial board member Steve Moore joins me now from Washington Steve ... first things first what does this mean for tax reform ... Sen Baucus has really ... been a proponent ... of that bipartisan effort ... doesn't die with his retirement ... I don't think so Mary although that this is the question that every ... tax lawyer and every lobbyists in Washington a scurrying about trying to find the answer to because obviously the tax code has such a huge ... impact on our economy you're right that Max Baucus has been actually ... pretty open minded ... to tax reform much more so than most Democrats in the Senate ... he'd been working with AP Apple is the House Republican ways and means committee ... of you know chairman to come up with some kind of bought a deal that could be cut ... that would lower tax rates and the broader tech space something that is a visit to my ears ... on the fact that he's retiring some people believe ... that this might be actually speed up the process and that ... that that Max Baucus may wanna leave a legacy of tax reform and try to get something done ... before he leaves at the end of two thousand fourteen well let's hope so Steve ... what's with this in on the Montana race ... I've got the numbers to put up on the screen here Mitt Romney ... one that state fire mile fifty five percent to forty two percent by present Obama ... the Democrats even have a shot at the Cedars this really an intra Republican party fight ... you know Bob Tiana is not is rather stay yes ... that is indicative of those numbers you just gave with respect to the presidential race in a month as had Democratic dot Settoon Democratic senators ... a job after being the other one that is that Democratic governors ... aam and that the ... reason that it said that's a fifty fifty ... I shot for Republicans to pick up the CDs because they have a very popular ... ex governor made by Brian Schweitzer who was actually a fairly fiscally conservative governor ... high and he is going to make a big brother has a backdoor some thought he might even have primary ... on Max Baucus if the Baucus had not retired ... by now the Republicans actually have but ... haven't had a fairly popular former governor of themselves ... I mean our route stuff ... right right so it was a liberal Republican I'm not so sure he's even more conservative than that Schweitzer is that would be of doubt dig out all of those two governors former governors to each other out what's take a look at the broader Senate picture for twenty fourteen there a lot of Democrats to our ... Retire out aam among men died chain Rockefeller ... Tom Harkin ... Max Baucus Tim Johnson and Carl Levin Frank Wattenberg ... aam are in the so-called ... shore pickups for the Republicans are they really didn't have the fighting in the season ... they're not sure the customary but no south the code is pretty close to a leg up ... aam but you know that these are ... these are very down to that take up opportunities said it really depends to meet ... up there at two things one is you know how favorably the American people are viewing Brock Obama in November of two thousand ... fourteen but the other issue is whether Republicans can recruit ... good candidates as we talked about on on her show in the past ... Republicans haven't been too good at that last couple election cycles ... that have cost them some dearly needed seats to pick up the majority well Steve Yeh that's kind of an understatement they had said as I did some leeway in the freezer I data ally in the ... I don't think that were really making an effort to try to get the other candidates who could win the seats in of eighty five seats to pick up the majority there are eight or nine Democrats in in out what I call red states that were picked up though that were won by ... the Romney those are all definite possibilities of those are not all retirements but you know this is a busy year Republicans really think they can win back some of the island ... yes I mean we've got a lift in the swing state Democrats ... up for re-election ... on Mark Begich ... in Alaska get out Mark Pryor Mary Landrieu Kay Hagan marquee you'd all got ... on a particularly North Carolina Steve Kay Hagan in that seat ... got on the email it again speaking of ... you for candidates ... are their strong people to put up ... in any of these races North Carolina in particular ... well a ... mother of her life is that's an interesting state that state has become much rather over last six or eight years ... of even as the country's become maybe a little the floor ... and so that is a big big pickup opportunity for the Republicans no question about the parade they just elected a Republican governor for the first time in something like twenty years so yeah that is that isn't a big target for Republicans but at top of the air right now Mary about who that Republican nominee would be okay well Senator Max Baucus is retiring but tax form a live on ... editorial board member Steve Moore ... thanks so

Despite the U.S. Department of Agriculture's demand for 'yam' labels in this country to include the words 'sweet potato,' most people still confuse the two vegetables and use the names interchangeably when referring to the orange-fleshed tubers that are at the peak of the season right now. Historians believe the misunderstanding dates back to the days of slavery when sweet potatoes were first called 'yams' by African slaves because they looked so much like the yams native to their home country. To this day, the terms persistently remain interchangeable.
In truth, yams are seldom found in this country, and unless you are shopping in an international market, the yam you thought you were purchasing, is actually a sweet potato. Besides yams being more dry and starchy than sweet potatoes, the most significant difference between the two, lies in the nutrients they contain, such as vitamin A - a one cup serving of cooked sweet potatoes supplies a whopping 377 percent of our daily requirement of vitamin A, as compared to the meager four percent found in the same size serving of cooked yams. While Nigeria, the largest country in Africa, leads the world in the production of yams, in this country, North Carolina ranks first in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, where almost 50 percent of the U.S. supply is produced - roughly the same amount harvested by the states of California, Louisiana and Mississippi combined.
From soups and fries, to puddings and pies, folks consume sweet potatoes in hundreds of ways, both sweet and savory, but I bet not too many of you have tried them as the main ingredient in a burrito. It was new to me, as too, and, not surprisingly, immensely filling and satisfying. The burrito recipe here comes from our friends at allrecipes.com, where it received a 4.5 (out of five) star rating and over 1,450 reviews. Enjoy them with homemade guacamole and salsa, and if you like, a side of Mexican-style rice.

Saddlebag fits neatly under the seat and attaches quickly. Reflector a great addition and bag fits all necessary items.
Barely big enough for a tube and a multi-tool...good if you are close to home or with friends.
I like that it is easy to install, and easy to attach and detach when I need to change the tire. However, the levers are too small and do not work well for a woman when changing tires, but even the guys were having a difficult time and had to use the other levers I bought. I just wish the bag was about an inch longer, but I like it and plan to keep it.

Electric Impedance Sensor
Application ID: 7704
Electric impedance measurements are used for imaging and detection. Applications range from nondestructive testing and geophysical imaging to medical imaging.
Several alternative techniques are shown to model such a system. One of them shows how to use conditional expressions to define spatially dependent material properties. Another shows how to use multiple terminals for distributed sensing through geometry parametrization and port sweeping.
The example shows how the lateral position of the cavity or terminal affects the measured impedance.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:AC/DC Module
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.

In the junior varsity contest played right before the varsity game on Nov. 20 at Moab, the Lady Devils had shown promise. Grand's JV team defeated its Green River counterparts 42-35. However, the Lady Devils got off to a slow start in the varsity game, failing to score at all in the first quarter as the Lady Pirates built an early 14-0 lead.
"We weren't quite as prepared as we should have been," said GCHS head coach Rick Lopez. "Some of it might have been first-game jitters, but we seemed nervous and had trouble taking care of the ball."
Lopez said the Lady Pirates played strong defense that hampered the efforts of the Lady Devils.
"Green River is always a good, solid, team," he said. "They put that press defense on us right at the beginning, and we really struggled to move the ball."
Grand trailed 35-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, but rallied to outscore Green River 13-10 in the final eight minutes of play.
Despite the low overall team scoring total, eight different players got on the board for the Lady Devils. They were led by freshman Madi Jones, who had five points for Grand. Fellow freshman Kylie Haycock added three points, as did starting point guard Torrie Lopez, a senior.
Scoring two points each for Grand were Alena Geiser, Teaven Fredericks, Alexandra Gomez, and Symony Call. Brook Schultz added one point on a free throw.
The Lady Pirates were led by Michaela Hughes, who scored 16 points in the game. Her teammate, Jamie Johnson, added 12 points.
This week, the Lady Devils' only scheduled contest is another non-region home game, against the Monticello Lady Buckaroos on Tuesday, Nov. 27. Next week, on Tuesday, Dec. 4, Grand will host Pinnacle Academy. That varsity game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Region play will not begin for the Lady Devils until early January, after the holiday break.

Dealing with stress is part of the job
News directors have different ways to deal with stress during volatile work days.
Some take five in their office with door firmly shut.
Some pray.
John DiSciullo tackles the stressor head on and then prays, like the day in March last year when retired Buffalo Sabre Rick Martin died.
"That was a terrible tragedy," said DiSciullo, who spent more than three years as news director at WKBW-TV. "I remember where I was when I found out. I was getting coffee at Tim Hortons, and I saw this text, and in a second your whole day changes."
DiSciullo reached out to his sports-reporting team of Jeff Russo and Shawn Stepner, and then he drove to the station.
"On a big story day, you get involved," he said. "The [Clarence] plane crash was the same thing. You depend on your team. You're always in touch."
DiSciullo, who now works for WBBZ-TV as executive director of production and promotion, also organized marathon relays for him and his staff to participate in at WKBW Channel 7.
"I run, but I wouldn't consider myself a runner," said DiSciullo, who ran three miles on a treadmill while watching election returns. "The positive stress relief of exercise and healthy eating helped me. On election night, I would make sure to include salad with the pizza and wings.
"And I pray a lot. I'm very open about that," he said. "I take personal comfort, and hope to help others by praying and trying to channel out negative energy."
At WGRZ-TV Channel 2, news director Jeff Woodard does not get stressed about major news events – anymore.
"The adrenalin starts flowing. That's not stress to me," Woodard said. "Stress occurs when there's a major problem of some kind or a difficult conversation is coming up. That's when I close the door and give myself a break."
Woodard has worked as Channel 2 news director about four years. Whether he's on or off the job, Woodard said he remains electronically tethered to the station.
"My phone is never off," Woodard said. "I'll get a call in the middle of the night, I'll get a call when I'm with my family. A story popped up, or someone called in for the morning. Those decisions should be made by the news director. That is my philosophy. I want to be involved. I'd rather have a phone call at 2 a.m. than wake to something that's 8 hours old, and I'm told when I get to work."
Traditionally, news directors have not enjoyed stable employment, said Mike Cavender, a former news director at CBS affiliates in Washington, Atlanta, Tampa and Nashville.
"At one point the average tenure of a television news director was 2½ to 3 years," said Cavender. "Some of the turnover is forced because the news director lives and dies largely by the ratings, as do general managers. Plus, the business itself has traditionally been one where people tend to move voluntarily to larger markets to advance their careers."
As executive director of the Radio Television Digital News Association, Cavender oversees an organization that supports 2,500 electronic journalists. He said there are about 800 broadcast or cablecast news operations in the country that employ news directors.
News director Ed Buttaccio of Time-Warner Cable's YNN has learned many ways to keep stress at bay while splitting his time between newsrooms in Buffalo, which opened in March 2009, and Rochester, where he has worked for nearly 16 years.
"I compartmentalize my life," Buttaccio said. "If I'm in a meeting, I'm not going to be looking at my BlackBerry. I think you have to make the most of the moment at the time."
When the remnants of Hurricane Sandy passed through the area, Buttaccio spent the day in Buffalo and the night in Rochester.
"I can't be in two places at once," he said, "so I delegate. If it were just me it would be overwhelming, but I have a very able team. That's 90 employees in two newsrooms."
Delegating tasks is a management skill that some news directors have trouble mastering, said Jill Geisler of Poynter Institute. It can lead to newsroom paralysis.
"If you don't have a rock-solid team," said Geisler, "you have a 'Wait till your mom gets home' situation where nobody can make a decision unless the news director is there."

Opinion: Orange BOE Controversy Continues — Letter # 1
In December, Orange Live reported on a "Disturbance in the Force" at the Orange Board of Education Meeting, describing the events as "embarrassing" when former vice chairman Keith Marquis took over the public session portion of the meeting and called for a new vote for board officers which, in the absence of Chairman Jeanne Consiglio ultimately led to him being elected as Chairman.
He claimed the November officers' vote was held illegally, and insisted that his procedure for the new election was legal, yet, in spite of protests from other board members asking for the vote to be tabled until the January meeting, Marquis, as chairman, said no, and stressed that no legal advice was necessary. He instructed Supt. Lynn McMullin not to pursue legal advice on the matter.
What Orange Live readers have said is that all of this sounded hinky. If the November board election was illegal then why not seek legal advice to see if Marquis' claim was true? If the December election was Legal, but not accepted by the entire board and surrounded by so many questions, then why not seek legal advice? Unless the new chairman is afraid his actions will be reversed.
When she returned from vacation in December, Jeanne Consiglio formally resigned from the board, which she had dedicated many years to and, as chairman, had turned around so it was a "kinder, more civil board" than it had been in a long time.
On Monday night, Jan. 14, board member Susan Falvey, who had been quite vocal during the December meeting, resigned her seat as well.
Board members Falvey, Jody Dietch (Who had been elected vice chairman in November – but lost the officers' seat in the questionable December election) and Amy Criscuolo each read letters to the board regarding the election situation.
Here is Amy Criscuolo's letter so the community can see for themselves how this board member feels.
I suggest you watch the meeting on OGAT when it airs. The letters were presented within the first 10 minutes of the meeting.
- From Amy Criscuolo
Over the past 3 years that I have served as a board member on the Orange Board of Education, I can honestly say that as board members we have successfully been able to agree to disagree on certain subjects without division among members or our party affiliations.
However I would be lying if I said that what occurred at the December 3rd OBOE meeting has not damaged the relationships of the board members and caused the resignation of a devoted board member, Jeanne Consiglio.
Upon leaving the December OBOE meeting I was bewildered and disturbed by the actions, demeanors and outcome of the meeting. How could the newly elected officers of the previous month be ousted from their positions, when there is clear precedent to allow the OBOE officer elections to be held on another day other than the one stated in the bylaws. Furthermore there was ample notice of the meeting date and there were no objections at the time of the November meeting. The vote was held, the results announced and again there was no objection at the time of the vote, therefore the votes were official at the November meeting and could not be challenged, especially at a subsequent meeting.
At the December meeting, when Keith called a Point of Order stating the November elections were improper, I would be remiss if I said I knew exactly what Point of Order meant. I contacted several local parliamentarians and Dr. Leonard Young, Executive Director and Parliamentarian of the National Association of Parliamentarians and he directed me to the Robert's Rules of Order Manual which explains that a Point of Order has to be raised promptly at the time the breech occurs. So now I question was there abuse of parliamentary law to steal the offices of those that were legally elected?
Based on the definition of when a Point of Order is to be used, the way that Keith called the Point of Order last month was out of order and therefore shadows doubt on the validity of the outcome of the December elections. At the December 3rd OBOE meeting I asked for a legal opinion and was denied. On December 11th, Jeanne, Jody, Sue and myself emailed Keith requesting that the board seek legal opinion on the legalities of the November and December meetings and again our request was denied. At this point, I can't help but be concerned about the legal makeup of the OBOE officers.
I am AGAIN requesting for the third time a legal opinion for clarification of the legalities of the November and December OBOE meetings and in addition I am requesting an opinion from a Robert's Rules of Order Parliamentarian to clarify Keith's use of a Point of Order at the December 3rd 2012 OBOE meeting.
Keith as Chair, I am respectfully asking you to end the controversy and extend the courtesy to the members that are requesting opinions so we can move forward and work as a united board and achieve what we are here to do, serve our children and our community.
Respectfully submitted,
Amy Criscuolo
OBOE Board Member
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

In the final part of this Wrestlemania series we look at another huge dream match, as we look at the possibility of The Undertaker defending his streak against 'The Icon' Sting.
The Undertaker vs. Sting
There is no man in the history of professional wrestling who has had as much success without ever joining the WWE, than 'The Icon' Sting.
He secured legendary status in WCW where he was a three time WCW World Tag Team Champion, one time NWA World Champion and six time WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
During his 14-year stint in WCW he had matches with legends like Randy Savage, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Sting also competed in the final WCW match in history against Ric Flair on WCW Nitro.
During his ten-year TNA career he has been TNA World Tag Team Champion, NWA World Champion and four time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, while also becoming the first ever TNA Hall of Famer.
The WWE has acknowledged Sting's legendary career in the past, naming him the greatest United States Champion, greatest superstar in WCW history and the greatest wrestler never to perform in WWE. The WWE has tried to sign Sting multiple times in the past but have failed on every occasion, with Sting opting to stay in TNA in recent years.
But now, everything is changing. TNA is making huge steps backward, while the owners are looking to jump ship as soon as possible. TNA tried to challenge WWE once again by taking their Impact TV show on the road but the move failed, just like when they decided to move Impact to Monday nights to compete with RAW.
They have also cut some of their high earning talents, even choosing to let Hulk Hogan leave the company.
Now that Hogan has left TNA, Sting is the highest earner, reportedly earning around $1m dollars per year. Taking in mind that Sting doesn't work full time in TNA, that is not good value for money for TNA and if they choose to allow Sting to leave at the end of his contract, they would be able to sign a number of new wrestlers.
When asked if he would want to face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania Sting said, "who wouldn't want to compete at Wrestlemania at least once."
Sting's contract ends at the end of the year, meaning he will be able to go to WWE and build a feud against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
What makes The Undertaker vs. Sting such a huge dream match is that in many ways they are one and the same.
Both men have a dark character, both like to scare their opponent and both like to turn off the lights and make an appearance. Sting was the biggest icon in WCW and now TNA, while The Undertaker is arguably the biggest icon in the WWE. Put the two together at Wrestlemania and the fan reaction will be spectacular.
Many fans argue that both The Undertaker and Sting have long passed their best days in the ring but as we found out at Wrestlemania 18, sometimes it's not the quality of a match which makes it memorable.
The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan match at Wrestlemania can only be described as dismal but the incredible fan reaction throughout the match as two of the greatest superstars in the history of the WWE clashed for the first time.
I would say that Sting and Undertaker are more capable than Hogan was ten years ago and would be able to put on a decent match at Wrestlemania, however just the aura that would surround this match would make it one of the most memorable matches in Wrestlemania history.
Will it happen? I'm leaning towards yes, as all the pieces are seemingly falling into place for the match to take place. It's in everyone's interest for this match to take place, especially the fans, and if this huge dream match is ever going to take place it will happen in four months' time at the biggest wrestling extravaganza of all time, Wrestlemania 30.

Astros lose lead in ninth, pull out victory in 10
ARLINGTON - They were down early -- hitless through three innings even -- and didn't panic. They coughed up a ninth-inning lead and it didn't faze them. The Astros finally figured out a way to beat the Rangers, and it began with grit and determination.
The Astros turned disappointment into triumph in a matter of a few minutes Saturday night, shaking off a ninth-inning blown save to win the game, 6-5, in the 10th inning when Jose Altuve drove home pinch-runner Marwin Gonzalez from third base on a sacrifice fly at Globe Life Park.View Full Game Coverage
ARLINGTON - They were down early -- hitless through three innings even -- and didn't panic. They coughed up a ninth-inning lead and it didn't faze them. The Astros finally figured out a way to beat the Rangers, and it began with grit and determination.
The Astros turned disappointment into triumph in a matter of a few minutes Saturday night, shaking off a ninth-inning blown save to win the game, 6-5, in the 10th inning when Jose Altuve drove home pinch-runner Marwin Gonzalez from third base on a sacrifice fly at Globe Life Park.View Full Game Coverage
The win snapped the Astros' 12-game losing streak against the Rangers and put them in position to win a series from their in-state division rivals for the first time since June 24-26, 2008 by taking Sunday's series finale.
"It's a big win just from the fact they came back and tied it up," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "For us to come back and respond the way we responded to take the lead and go out and get those last three outs, I thought was huge."
In addition to clutch hits by Jason Castro, who had a one-out triple in the 10th, and clutch performances by starting pitcher Jarred Cosart and reliever Anthony Bass, the Astros got a superb defensive play in the 10th from shortstop Jonathan Villar, whose diving stop and throw to retire Alex Rios was a game-changer.
"He saved me right there," said Bass, who retired the final three batters he faced to strand the tying run at third base to record his second save.
Castro's triple hit the wall down the right-field line and rolled along the base of the wall toward center field while Alex Rios frantically chased it. Gonzalez ran for Castro at third.
"It's a random, bizarre play," Rios said. "If it's in the ground you can predict it and position yourself to make the play, but when the ball is hit that hard, it's almost unpredictable where the ball is going to go. I was trying to see the ball coming towards the grass instead of taking the route [along] the fence."
The Astros scored five times in the fourth inning, capped by a three-run homer by Robbie Grossman, to take a 5-2 lead they couldn't hold. The Rangers chipped away with a run in the fourth and another in the eighth and trailed, 5-4, entering the ninth.
Left-hander Kevin Chapman allowed the Rangers to tie the game when Michael Choice led off the inning with a solo homer to right -- the first homer of his career. Chapman came back to strike out Shin-Soo Choo to end the ninth and strand a runner at second and get the win.
"We just felt like that was a good pocket for him," Porter said of Chapman. "Even though we knew they had some pinch-hitters, [Leonys] Martin's going to hit and Choo is going to hit, and we felt like we could go through that pocket and get three outs. Choice put a good swing on the fastball out over the plate."
Cosart pitched a season-high seven innings and allowed six hits and three runs and was in line for the win before the Rangers' comeback. He struck out a career-high eight batters, including Choo four times.
"For me, you've got to keep this team off balance," Cosart said. "You can't just throw a get-me-over curveball. Early in the game they were popping out of my hand a little bit and staying in the zone and they saw it. They put some good swings on it, and it's a credit to them. I had to bear down after that and I was able to."
With the curveball clicking, Cosart retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced.
"I was able to gather myself, and after the last outing Bo told me, 'You know, it's OK to give up runs. Every once in a while it's going to happen,'" he said. "It's part of pitching, especially in the big leagues. You have to limit the damage. After that, the curveball came along and I was commanding the fastball well and was able to keep them off the fastball with the curveball and I got some big outs."
The Astros, who didn't get a baserunner in Friday's series opener until the sixth inning, didn't have a hit through three innings, which prompted Porter to corral his team in the tunnel between the clubhouse and dugout for a quick pep talk. The message was 'It's time to go.'
"We waited around long enough and it's time to go and get some runs," Grossman said.
Rangers starter Tanner Scheppers walked Castro with one out, and Altuve and Chris Carter followed with singles to load the bases. Carlos Corporan hit a sac fly, and Matt Dominguez tied the game with an RBI single. Grossman, who entered the game in a 1-for-27 funk, smacked a hanging slider over the wall in right for a three-run homer and a 5-2 lead.
"It means a lot just to help the team win again," he said. "Whatever I can do to help win the game, that's all that matters."
Even though Porter dropped Grossman lower in the batting order earlier in the week, he said he never lost confidence in his ability to hit Major League pitching.
"One of the things I said to him, I said, 'Look, it ain't going to last for long. Just keep it up and stay confidence. Nobody's going to lose confidence in you. Just go out there and continue to play,'" Porter said.

Diary, Anna Margaret (Watson) Randolph
Authors: Randolph, Anna Margaret (Watson)
Date: December 12, 1858 - December 19, 1858
These excerpts from Anna (Watson) Randolph's diary begin after her family had settled in Emporia in 1858. Living in Emporia provided many opportunities for her and her family to become involved in the community, including church services and "singing school." She includes juicy details about her neighbors, including Mr. Plumb who was a fan of the drink. Her entries also point to her mental state and her personal reflections on self improvement. In short, these entries provide a previously unseen glimpse into the Emporia community during the 1850s and into the lives of the Watson family.

Nearly a mile of the hiking and biking trail in the Village of Four Seasons will be overlayed this summer.
Nearly a mile of the hiking and biking trail in the Village of Four Seasons will be overlayed this summer.
The board of trustees voted Wednesday night to contract with Magruder Paving of Lake Ozark to replace 4,868 feet of the trail from Carl's Village Market west to the second entrance to Chessman Drive. The project calls for a two-inch overlay at a cost of $37,440. That translates to 480 tons of material.
Village Administrator Tom Laird said the area to be replaced is the original Section 1 that was built in 2004. Today, the trail is 7.87 miles long.
Next closest bid was from APAC at $53,153.
The Horseshoe Bend Special Road District helps maintain the H&B trail, keeps it swept and watches for damaged or deteriorating areas. Laird said the original section is showing signs of age.
The east end of the trail ends at the city limits, but trustees hope the HBSRD will consider funding the trail on to Bagnell Dam Blvd.
New AC
Trustees also approved a new five-ton air conditioner coil at a cost of up to $3,500. The unit shut down during the short-term heat wave recently, although the compressor section of the heat pump on the outside of the building continues to function.
A separate AC unit for the new area of Village Hall was used to cool the office area with the aid of fans.
New Trustees Chairman Arnold Sandbothe offered a resolution expressing public gratitude for the services of former chairman Gordon Ellison from 2003 to 2014, who has been challenged by health issues that last several months.
The resolution passed unanimously. Ellison will continue as a trustee in the capacity of finance officer.
The resolution says in part that Ellison has contributed to the betterment of Village government and residents especially involving the development of the Village playgrounds and hiking and biking trails.

An NG blog about Leg 1. Not much new.
In the funniest part of this week's show, each team has to load bricks of peat into baskets on a donkey and convince it to walk back to the entrance of the farm.
More spoilers from CBS 'Laughlin' exit speeds start of new 'Race'October 31, 2007CBS last week mercifully pulled the plug on Viva Laughlin. Who saw that coming? Well . . . besides anyone who remembered the similar fate that befell Steven Bochco's surreal Cop Rock in 1990. That was the last drama that thought it was a good idea to have characters arbitrarily burst into song and dance, and that experiment lasted only 13 weeks. Those three months must seem like an eternity to the like-minded minds behind Viva Laughlin, which was on the air for just two episodes before CBS said enough. But this musical mushroom cloud has a silver lining for reality TV fans: CBS is plugging that hole on Sunday nights with the 12th season of The Amazing Race (7 p.m. on CBS 4), which the network previously said wasn't going to make it on the air until 2008. So get your pretend passports ready for some more virtual globehopping. We break down The Amazing Race by the numbers: 5 consecutive Emmys have gone to The Amazing Race, all for outstanding reality competition series. 2 episodes were axed from this season after producers did away with the nonelimination pit stops to help quicken the pace and ratchet up the suspense. 30,000 miles are covered by the winning team in this year's race. 5 countries where The Amazing Race had never been will be featured in this season's trek, including Ireland, Lithuania and Croatia. Other locales include Burkina Faso, West Africa, and Taiwan. 15 of the 22 contestants are from California. 1 all-male team, which should help level the playing field. Young all- male teams have won the past two races and five of the nine previous races (not counting the seasons that pitted families or all-stars against one another). This year's pair is a grandfather and grandson. 3 all-female teams, which include married lesbian Episcopal ministers, two sisters and a pair of blond friends from Los Angeles. No all-female team has ever won The Amazing Race. 5 teams consist of couples who are married or dating, which always increases the chances for bickering and blow-ups. source
Amazing work on the locations here! I've been following this thread closely and decided to make a Google Map for Amazing Race 12 based on the incredible information here. If you're interested, head over to the Amazing Race 12 Map http://brentevans.blogspot.com/2007/11/amazing-race-12-mapping-amazing-race.html - I'll update it during/after each episode and will try to keep it ahead by at least one episode using the info in this thread.Thanks for the incredible information here!!!http://brentevans.blogspot.com/2007/11/amazing-race-12-mapping-amazing-race.html

With the ink barely dry on the regulations governing Alabama's new irrigation tax incentive, the best advice is to check with your accountant or tax preparer before claiming it.
"If you think you're going to qualify for this credit, you really need to meet with your tax preparer and do what is best for your specific situation," says Jamie Yeager, field economist with the Alabama Farm Analysis Association.
Yeager discussed the new tax credit during the recent Alabama Irrigation Summit, held in Montgomery.
(See: Alabama farmers to receive tax incentive for installing irrigation).
"I don't think they've finished writing the regulations on this yet, so some of this may change. But the Alabama Department of Revenue was fairly final on most everything," said Yeager on Aug. 15.
In its most recent session, the Alabama Legislature passed the Irrigation Incentives Bill, which provides a state income tax credit of 20 percent of the costs of the purchase and installation of irrigation systems.
The bill also allows the tax credit on the development of irrigation reservoirs and water wells, in addition to the conversion of fuel-powered systems to electric power.
The one-time credit cannot exceed $10,000 per taxpayer, and it must be taken in the year in which the equipment or reservoirs are placed into service.
The credit is good, says Yeager, for all tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2011, or for 2012 and beyond.
Any agricultural trade or business shall be allowed an income tax credit of 20 percent of the cost of the purchase and installation of any qualified irrigation equipment, or any conversion cost related to the conversion of fuel to electricity or qualified reservoirs, he says.
"This tax credit is for state of Alabama income tax only. It has no effect on federal income tax or self-employment tax. When I sit down with farmers in the fall to do their tax preparation, generally, the tax we're most concerned with is federal income tax and self-employment tax because that's where you can make the most headway with any tax problem.
"Self-employment tax is 13.3 percent, and most farmers I work with are in a 15 to 25 percent bracket. So if you add those together, you're looking at roughly 30 percent between the two," says Yeager.
The state income tax rate is about 5 percent, he adds, so it's not as big an issue as is the federal tax.
"Since it's an Alabama tax, you have to be an Alabama taxpayer to claim the tax incentive. You have to have an agricultural trade or business that qualifies under the NAICS Sector 11 Designation.
"How do you know if you qualify under that? If you filed a Schedule F last year, in the top center of that schedule is a code. Most all agricultural enterprises have an 11 in front of it. If you're a farmer and you file a Schedule F, you'll qualify," he says.
The agricultural activity must occur within Alabama, says Yeager, and you must conform to existing environmental and water quality regulations.
A qualified reservoir, which is an off-stream upland pond or lake with the sole purpose of being a source of water for irrigation, qualifies for the credit, he says. "You can't dig a pond to water cattle or a recreational pond and qualify for this credit."
Pretty much all irrigation equipment — pivots, pumps, pipes — will qualify, says Yeager. "The conversion of irrigation from fuel to electricity also qualifies. If you've got diesel irrigation and you want to convert it, this may be an opportunity to take advantage of this credit."
The credit can be taken only in the year the property is placed into service, he says.
"The placed-into service date is the date that it is ready and available for use. It's not the date that it's necessarily used. If you get your crop in this fall, and you decide you want to put in a pivot, and you put down a deposit on it but they don't come construct it until after the first of the year, you've got a credit for 2013 and not 2012. If they finish it on Dec. 31, 2012, then you've got a 2012 credit."
The credit is 20 percent of the un-reimbursed costs or $10,000, says Yeager. If you cost-share with NRCS or some other agency on a program, then that must be taken into consideration.
For example, if you put in a $100,000 reservoir and the agency cost-shares for $40,000, you've got $60,000 towards which you can apply the credit. At 20 percent, that's $12,000, so your credit is the maximum $10,000.
The credit, he continues, is limited to one purchase or installation of equipment or a reservoir per taxpayer, it is non-refundable, and it can only be applied in the year in which it's placed into service.
"If you've got a '0' state income tax liability, and even if you qualify for the $10,000 credit, you don't get any credit. If you have a $2,500 tax liability, you get a $2,500 credit."
Cannot be carried back, forward
The credit cannot be carried back or carried forward, he says.
"Basically, it's a use it or lose it deal. If you don't use it, it goes away. It would be very useful, in my opinion, if this credit could be carried forward. Some growers will max out the credit, but the majority of farmers who use it probably won't."
For "pass-through" entities such as partnerships and LLC's, if it's multi-member, the credit will be based on ownership percentage, says Yeager. If you're in a 50/50 partnership with someone, they get half the credit and you get half the credit.
"I asked the Department of Revenue, for this tax credit, who is considered the 'taxpayer' in the case of a pass-through entity? Is it the individual owners or is it the entity? They said the entity is the taxpayer. With some of the larger farms, we have multiple entities.
"If you're a partner in three different corporations, you could take this credit three times, since the entity is the taxpayer. You could take it three times in one year, with three different entities, or take one this year, one next year, and one the year after — however it benefits you the most. The best thing to do is to meet with your tax preparer and figure out what'll work best for you."
Other tax considerations that'll apply to both state and federal income taxes include depreciation recovery periods, which are seven years for equipment and 15 years for wells and reservoirs.
The Section 179 Deduction Limit. Many farmers, says Yeager, have taken advantage of the Section 179 Deduction Limit over the past several years and used it to drastically reduce their income tax bills.
"Right now, the limit for 2012 is $139,000, which is down from the past two years. Congress may increase this before the end of the year. Equipment qualifies for Section 179, and it doesn't have to be new — it can be used equipment. Wells and reservoirs do not qualify."
The Bonus Depreciation, he explains, is similar to Section 179 in that it expires at the end of this year unless Congress renews it. Equipment qualifies but wells and reservoirs do not, and it must be new equipment.
"Usually, whenever I'm working with someone and we use up all of their Section 179 and then go to Bonus Depreciation and use that up, then we go to regular depreciation. That's the usual order."
But Yeager advises growers to be very careful in this area.
"Some of you are probably in a situation where you've got very little depreciation going forward because in the past few years, you've been writing off most everything you've bought. This could put you in a cash-flow bind down the road.
"I've seen it happen with producers, mainly with chicken houses. On a seven-year loan, by about year five or six, most of what you're paying is principal, and you've already written off your equipment so there's no depreciation. You could end up with a large tax bill. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow."
