Completing the ACC Football Legends Class of 2012 are Maryland's Chet "The Jet" Hanulak (Hackensack, N.J.), an All-America running back off the Terrapins' 1953 National Champions; North Carolina's Dre' Bly (Chesapeake, Va.), a two-time consensus first-team All-America and one of the top cover cornerbacks in league history; Virginia Tech defensive back Pierson Prioleau (Alvin, S.C.), an All-America defensive back for the Hokies in the late 1990s and Wake Forest's Ed Stetz (Johnstown, Pa.), two-time All-ACC linebacker and defensive stalwart for the Demon Deacons' 1970 ACC Championship team.
Hendricks (1966-68), known as the "Mad Stork" for his tall (6-7), angular build and his dominating defensive play, started three seasons at defensive end for the Miami Hurricanes under coach Charlie Tate. A three-time All-America for the Hurricanes, he earned consensus, first-team All-America honors in 1967 and 1968, and led Miami to a 20-11-1 record. He ended his collegiate career as Miami's all-time leading tackler with 318 hits in 1968. That year, he was named UPI National Lineman of the Year and finished 5th in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He went on to a spectacular 15-year NFL career as an outside linebacker playing in 215 consecutive games with the Baltimore Colts, Green Bay Packers, Oakland and L.A Raiders. During his time in the NFL, he helped lead his teams to four Super Bowl championships, was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, four times selected as an All-Pro and five times named second-team All-Pro. He was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 1987 and was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990. He was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time team and to the NFL's All-Decade team of the 1970's. He was inducted into the University of Miami Hall of Fame in 1980, to its Ring of Honor in 1997 and had his jersey number—number 89—retired, also in 1997. His philanthropic foundation—The Ted Hendricks Foundation--with goals aimed at providing assistance to local and national charities through awards, grants and scholarship programs aimed at recreational, health and educational programs for both youth and seniors, also sponsors the Ted Hendricks Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top defensive end, but which also considers in the selection process academic and community excellence. Originally a native of Guatemala, he grew up in Miami Springs, Fla., and now lives in suburban Chicago, Ill.
McGee (1957-59) was a tenacious two-way guard for the standout Duke teams of the late 1950's under head coach Bill Murray. In 1959, he became the first ACC player to be honored with the Outland Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation's top interior lineman. That year, he was also voted the McKevlin Award, as the ACC's top overall athlete in any sport. He was also named the ACC Football Player of the Year and was a first-team All-America selection by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Time and Look Magazines. The 14th overall selection of the 1960 NFL Draft, he played three seasons in the National Football League with the St. Louis Cardinals. He then began a career in coaching and served eight seasons (1971-78) as Duke's head coach. His 37 wins for the Blue Devils is the third-most for a coach in Duke football history. After leaving Duke, he began a successful 25-year career in athletics administration serving as director of athletics at Cincinnati (1979-84), Southern California (1984-93) and South Carolina (1993-2005). While at Southern California in 1989, McGee founded the well-regarded Sports Management Institute (SMI) to create a highly-academic, graduate-level business program for athletic administrators. Inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame as a player in 1990, he was later named to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Hall of Fame for his administrative skills in 2010. Born in Washington, D.C., he grew up in Elizabeth City, N. C., and now lives in Montrose, Col.
Quayle (1966-68), one of the top running backs in Virginia history, set more than 20 ACC offensive records in his three seasons in Charlottesville including, at the time, the single-season rushing mark of 1,213 yards in 1968. That year, he was named the ACC Football Player of the Year and, as also a standout in lacrosse, the ACC's Athlete of the Year and winner of the McKevlin Award. His impressive 6.93 per-carry average in 1968 is still the third-best per-carry mark by an ACC back with over 1,000 or more yards in a single season. Quayle led the nation in 1966 in all-purpose yardage and he still holds the ACC all-purpose career per-game record (166.0). Quayle still ranks 16th on the ACC's career rushing yards-per-game list, 10th in ACC career all-purpose yardage (4,981) and is 7th on the Virginia career rushing list with 2,695 yards. A two-time, first-team All-ACC honoree (1967-68), he also earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in lacrosse (1967). He was selected in the 5th round of the 1969 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos and played one season in the NFL. He returned to Charlottesville in 1973 and began an ultra-successful career in real estate. His jersey number—24—is one of just six numbers retired at Virginia. He recently retired after 29 years as the radio football analyst on the Virginia Sports Network. Originally a native of Garden City, N.Y., he currently lives in Charlottesville, Va.
Holt (1995-98), one of the top receivers in ACC history, was named ACC Football Player of the Year in 1998 after setting league single-season records of 88 pass receptions and 1,604 receiving yards in just 11 games. Holt's record of 1,604 receiving yards still stands as the ACC's single-season record and his per-game average for that year (145.8) is still the 8th-best mark in NCAA FBS history. A two-time first-team All-ACC selection for head coach Mike O'Cain, his average of 8.0 receptions per game is an ACC single-season mark and his total of 88 catches that year is still the 2nd-best in league history. In 1997, he set an ACC single-game record for most touchdown catches, making 5 against third-ranked Florida State. A consensus All-America in 1998, he ranks 2nd on the ACC's career receiving yardage list with 3,379 yards. A first-round selection and the 6th overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams, Holt played 11 seasons in the NFL, 10 of those with the Rams. He was named to the Pro Bowl seven times and twice (2003, 2006) was named All-Pro, making 920 catches for 13,382 yards and 74 TDs. He holds NFL records for most consecutive seasons with 1,300 or more yards (6), most consecutive seasons with 90 or more catches (6). While with the Rams, he was a member of two Super Bowl teams, including helping the Rams to the championship of Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000 in which he set NFL Super Bowl rookie records for most catches (7) and receiving yards (109). A native of Gibsonville, N.C., he currently resides in Raleigh, N.C.
Hyland (1964-66) lettered three consecutive years for Boston College for head coach Jim Miller at center and offensive guard. He helped lead BC to a three-year 16-13 record and earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco. Selected in the first round and as the ninth overall pick of the 1967 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers and their legendary coach Vince Lombardi, he became the first Eagle offensive lineman to be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft. He played 11 years in the National Football League, the first three seasons with Green Bay, and saw action in Super Bowl II. He then played one year for the Chicago Bears (1970), five with the New York Giants (1971-75), returned to Green Bay for one year (1976) before finishing his career with the New England Patriots (1977). He was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Hall of Fame in 1988. A native of White Plains, N.Y., he currently resides in his hometown.
Cunningham (1973-75) was the prototypical tight end for the Clemson football teams of coach Red Parker during the middle 1970s. He lettered three straight years for the Tigers, leading the team in pass receptions in 1973 and 1974. He was named first-team All-ACC in 1974 and 1975. A two-time first-team All-America, he earned consensus All-America honors in 1974. He completed his Clemson career with 64 receptions for 1,044 yards and 17 TDs. The 28th overall selection in the first round of the 1976 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, he played in the NFL for 10 seasons, all with the Steelers. He completed his professional career with 202 receptions for 2,879 yards and 20 touchdowns. In 1984 he was inducted into the Clemson Hall of Fame. In 2003, Cunningham was the only tight end chosen to the ACC's 50th Anniversary Team in 2003, as one of the Top 50 players in league history. He was also the recipient of Clemson's Frank Howard Award for 1974-75, as the top student-athlete who brought honor to Clemson. A native of Seneca, S.C., he currently resides in Westminster, S.C.
Cowart (1993-97) was a hard-hitting linebacker who played on four ACC Championship teams for coach Bobby Bowden at Florida State and was a key reserve on the Seminoles 1993 National Championship squad. He led FSU in tackles as a junior in 1995 (115) and as a senior in 1997 (116) after sitting out the 1996 season with a knee injury. In 1997, he was named a consensus first-team All-America, was a finalist for both the Butkus Award and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and was named National Defensive Player of the Year by the Football News. The 1997 Florida State defense set a school record in rushing defense, allowing just 1.5 yards per rush. That year, Cowart was also honored as the winner of the ACC's Brian Piccolo Award for Courage. The 39th selection in the second round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, Cowart went on to an eight-year NFL career with Buffalo, the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings. He started 87 NFL games, playing in 100, and made 715 career tackles. He was named All-Pro and to the Pro Bowl after the 2000 season. He was inducted into the Florida State Hall of Fame in 2011. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., he currently lives in his hometown.
Swilling (1988-91) a hard-hitting safety and one of the leaders of Georgia Tech's 1990 National Championship team, lettered for years for head coach Bobby Ross. A 3rd-team All-America as a sophomore in 1989, he earned consensus first-team All-America honors in 1990 as the Jackets were named national champions by the UPI Coaches poll. A two-time first-team All-ACC selection (1989-1990), he keyed Tech's defense from his free safety position and led the ACC in pass interceptions with five in 1990. He led Tech to a 16-game non-losing streak, including a stretch in the 1989 and 1990 seasons where the Jackets won 18 of 20 games. He completed his career with 13 career interceptions, returning them for 239 yards, including two for touchdowns. The 13 picks are tied for the 5th-best total for a Tech player. As a sophomore in 1989, he became the first ACC player to return an intercepted conversion attempt—a 99-yard return versus Duke--for a two-point defensive conversion. That same year he had interception returns for TDs of 72 and 95 yards. He finished his career with 267 tackles, the second-highest total by a defensive back in Tech history. A seventh-round selection in the 1991 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, he played one season in the NFL with Cleveland. He was named to the ACC's 50th Anniversary team in 2003 and was inducted into the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. A native of Toccoa, Ga., he currently resides in Atlanta.
Hanulak (1951-53), one of the most explosive runners of his era, set an ACC single-season record for highest per-carry rushing average in the league's first season in 1953 that still stands today. Hanulak averaged 9.78 yards per carry (minimum of 65.0 yards per game) that year in leading Maryland to a 10-1 record and the Terps first National Championship (both AP and UPI) in football. Nicknamed "Chet the Jet" for his outstanding speed, Hanulak led the ACC in rushing in 1953 with 753 yards in his only season in the league. He still holds the TerrDRAFTapin record for career yards per carry (8.13) and ranks 20th on the Terps career rushing list with 1,544 yards. A three-time letterman for Maryland (1951-52-53), he earned second-team All-America (International News Service) and first-team All-ACC honors in 1953. The 24th overall selection in the second round of the 1954 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, he played two seasons in the NFL with Cleveland in 1954 and 1957. A two sport (baseball) standout for the Terps, he was inducted into the Maryland Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. A native of Hackensack, N.J., he currently resides in Salisbury, Md.
Bly (1996-98) is the only player in North Carolina history to be named a three-time, first-team All-America. He was a first-team All-America as a redshirt freshman in 1996 (AP, Walter Camp) and earned consensus All-America honors in 1997 and 1998 for head coaches Mack Brown (1996-97) and Carl Torbush (1998). One of the best cover corners in ACC history, Bly led the nation and set an ACC single-season record with 11 interceptions in his freshman season of 1996. The record stood until this past season when NC State's David Amerson topped it. He still shares, with Amerson, the ACC mark for most interceptions per game in a season (1.00) and his 20 career interceptions, at the time an ACC record, still ranks second on the ACC career list. A three-time letterman, he helped lead the Tar Heels to a 28-8 mark during his time in Chapel Hill. A three-time first-team All-ACC selection, Bly was the 41st overall selection in the second round of the 1999 NFL draft by the St. Louis Rams. He went on to an 11-year NFL career with St. Louis, Detroit, Denver and San Francisco. While with St. Louis, he helped the Rams to win Super Bowl XXXIV and reach Super Bowl XXXVI. He was twice named to the NFL's Pro Bowl (2003, 2004) and earned All-Pro honors in 2003. In his 11 years in the NFL, he totaled 419 tackles and 43 career interceptions. In 2003, he was named to the ACC's 50th Anniversary Football team. A native of Chesapeake, Va., he currently resides in Charlotte, N.C.
Prioleau (1995-98) was one of the leaders of the salty Virginia Tech defenses of the mid-to-late1990s. He lettered four times for head coach Frank Beamer, helping Tech to a 26-12 four-year record that included four consecutive bowl games. A three-year starter, he totaled 237 career tackles and had two returns for touchdowns. He was named first-team All-Big East in 1997 and earned third-team All-America honors (The Sporting News) that year. As a senior, he led a defense that led the Big East in scoring defense, allowing just 12.9 points per game. A fourth-round selection of the San Francisco 49ers in the 1999 NFL Draft, Prioleau played 12 seasons in the National Football League for San Francisco, Buffalo, Washington, Jacksonville and New Orleans. He was a member of the Saints' championship team in Super Bowl XLIV. Prioleau was also a first cousin of former ACC Legend and Georgia Tech All-America Joe Hamilton. A native of Alvin, S.C., he currently lives in Radford, Va.
Stetz (1969-71) was one of the most productive linebackers in Wake Forest history and, pound-for-pound, one of the most prolific tacklers in ACC lore. Stetz set single-season school records for the Deacons in career tackles (460), single-season tackles (203) and career solo tackles (271), despite a playing weight of just over 200 pounds. When Stetz completed his career in 1971, the 460 tackles were also an ACC career record. The lynchpin of Wake defenses of 1969, 1970 and 1971, he helped the Deacons to their first ACC football title in 1970 for head coach Cal Stoll. He still ranks 16th on the ACC career tackle list and also holds the Wake Forest single-game record for tackles with 29 hits against Clemson in 1971, as well as the season mark for tackles per game of 18.5 in 1971. He was twice named first-team All-ACC in 1970 and 1971 and played in the Blue-Gray All-Star game. A native of Johnstown, Pa., he currently resides in his hometown.

Weekday mornings during the school year can be hectic. Parents who must get their youngsters ready for school while preparing for their own day often find themselves rushing through the morning and wishing there was just a little more time before they had to run out the door.
While parents can't add another hour to the morning unless they wake up earlier, there are ways they can be more efficient in the morning. An efficient morning is typically a less hectic morning, and the following are a few ways families can work together to make more efficient use of their time on weekday mornings during the school year.
• Get a head start the night before. Perhaps the most effective way to make mornings less hectic during the school year is to accomplish as much as possible the night before. Instead of making kids' lunches each morning, make them at night right before you go to bed. Along with your kids, lay out their clothes for the next day before they go to sleep each night. This way kids won't waste time in the morning agonizing over what to wear, and they're liable to put up less of a fuss in the morning if they had a hand in choosing their attire for the day.
• Avoid turning your kitchen into a diner each morning. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it also can be the most indecisive meal of the day. Kids likely won't want to eat the same thing for breakfast every day, but give them fewer options so you aren't wasting time discussing what they are going to eat. The more closely your breakfast options resemble those of a diner, the more time your child is liable to waste choosing what to eat.
• Limit time in the bathroom. Spending too much time in the bathroom is another way families waste time on weekday mornings. Bathroom time should be limited to a set amount of time per person so everyone can get where they need to go on time. How much time adults and children spend in the bathroom each morning should depend on how many bathrooms you have and how many people are sharing those bathrooms. But even if everyone has their own private bathroom, try to limit the time you spend in the bathroom to 15 minutes per person. That should be plenty of time to shower, use the restroom and brush your teeth.
• Locate must-have items before going to bed at night. Your school-aged youngsters and you will need certain things before you can leave home every morning. Car keys, cell phones, wallets, eyeglasses, and backpacks are a handful of items all of you will need at some point during your day. Locate these items before you go to bed each night and place them in the same convenient place each night. This saves you the trouble of running around in the morning looking for lost car keys or wondering where your youngster's eyeglasses ended up the night before.
• Turn the television off in the morning. Watching television in the morning can be very distracting, which can make it harder for adults and kids alike to get out the door on time in the morning. Kids might want to watch cartoons, which may keep them from preparing for school or brushing their teeth. And adults can grow easily distracted by news programs and morning shows, which will eat up time they need to get ready for the day ahead.
• Gas up the car the night before. A pit stop at the gas station en route to school or the office will only add to the hectic nature of the morning. Check your fuel gauge each night before arriving home and refuel your vehicle if it's running low. This gives you a little extra time to relax in the morning and reduces the risk that you or your child will be late for work or school, respectively.
Weekday mornings during the school year can quickly become frenetic. But a few time-saving tips can ensure you and your youngsters start each morning off a lot more relaxed.

The Hudson Valley is home to over 25 wineries and now home to 3 wine/beverage trails. Opening April 10, The Hudson-Berkshire Beverage Trail is home to 3 wineries, a distillery and a brewery. The beverage trail runs from just south of Albany, New York to Hudson, New York and extends 44 miles.
Founding members of the Hudson-Berkshire Beverage Trail are Brookview Station Winery located in Castleton-on-Hudson, NY, Hudson-Chatham Winery located in Hudson, NY, Harvest Spirits located in Valatie, NY, & Chatham Brewing in Chatham, NY. Opening to the public on April 10 and joining the beverage trail is Tousey Winery in Germantown, NY.
When asked "Why a beverage trail," Carlo DeVito, owner of Hudson-Chatham Winery responded
"We chose a beverage trail because Harvest Spirits and Chatham Brewing are two exceptional establishments in the county. Core Vodka has won numerous awards, and Chatham Brewing is sold in numerous restaurants throughout the state, including New York City. We can now offer incredibly exciting, quality expereince to the consumer. What other beverage trail features hand-crafted, small batch ales, artisanal vodka, applejack, eau d'vie, as well as gold medal winning classic vinifera and hybrid wines as well as gold medal winning fruit wines? No wine or beverage trail can boast that kind of gourmet fire power."
The trail plans to host three to four events a year. A spring event, a wine festival at the Columbia County Fair Grounds and a holiday event.
April 10 is opening day, and I will be reporting from the festivities.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats welcomed a new colleague to the Senate on Thursday, newly elected Cory Booker, and the additional vote Booker gives them in the Senate.
Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath to Booker, 44, elected this month as the first black senator from New Jersey. He resigned this week as mayor of Newark, the state's largest city.
A Rhodes scholar and Yale Law School graduate who is widely seen as a rising political star, Booker fills the Senate seat vacated by the death in June of fellow Democrat Frank Lautenberg, who was 89.
Lautenberg's death, coupled with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie temporarily replacing the late senator with a Republican, cut Democrats' control of the Senate to 54-46.
Booker's arrival puts Democrats' hold on the Senate back at 55-45. And it puts them a bit closer to the 60 votes that are routinely needed to clear Republican procedural roadblocks against much of the president's agenda.
Minutes after being sworn in, Booker cast his first vote - to end one of these roadblocks against Obama's nomination of Melvin Watt as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Democrats fell short, 56-42.
Booker joined Tim Scott of South Carolina as the nation's only two black senators. Scott walked up to Booker after the swearing in ceremony and shook his hand.
Scott was appointed to the Senate earlier this year to fill the vacancy created by the surprise retirement of Jim DeMint, a fellow Republican.
Scott is expected to win a full six-year term next year. If he does, Scott and Booker will make history as the first two elected black senators serving at the same time, according to the Senate historian's office.
Booker arranged to meet later in the day with a Obama, a former U.S. senator from Illinois who backed Booker's Senate bid.
Before being sworn in, Booker met privately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
Afterward, Reid praised Booker, who served the past decade as a Newark city councilman and then mayor. He focused on improving life in the inner city.
"I urge my fellow senators, Democrats and Republicans, to get to know this good man," said Reid, standing on the Senate floor. "We are fortunate to have him here."

During Women's History Month I have been setting aside time to read about the women who impacted our history. My main focus has been women of Maryland, as that is where I was born and raised.
One such woman is Anna Ella Carroll who was born in 1815 on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Her father was a farmer and eventual governor of Maryland in 1830 and 1831. At an early age he involved Anna in not only the workings of their farm, but political and legal issues of the state.
Anna eventually became very active in the political scene, at one point writing articles about the candidates under an assumed name.
Her most interesting accomplishment came during the Civil War when she was an "unofficial" member of Lincoln's Cabinet. Some of her contemporaries even labeled her a military strategist.
During the Civil War President Lincoln asked Anna to accompany an army officer to observe and report back on the War. Thus showing his confidence in her abilities at a tactician. After the war Anna worked alongside her male counterparts during Reconstruction.
To read the full story of Anna Ella Carroll:
Happy Women's History Month!

By his own admission, whether in the huddle, in the pocket and even off the field, it takes an awful lot to shake up Oregon State redshirt junior quarterback Cody Vaz.
By his own admission, whether in the huddle, in the pocket and even off the field, it takes an awful lot to shake up Oregon State redshirt junior quarterback Cody Vaz.
"I'm a pretty calm guy," the St. Mary's High and Lodi product said earlier this month as his team prepared to play Texas in the Alamo Bowl today in San Antonio. "Not only football, but any situation. It takes a lot to get me rattled about something."
Maybe that's why, or at least part of the reason why Beavers coach Mike Riley decided to give Vaz his fifth career start today over sophomore Sean Mannion, Oregon State's starter for much of the season. Vaz has thrown 11 touchdowns and only one interception in spot-start and relief duty, while Mannion has thrown nearly as many interceptions (13) as touchdowns (15). Oregon State (9-3) will need a steady hand guiding the offense against the Longhorns (8-4), whose burnt-orange clad fans will pack the Alamodome.
Vaz has a duo of outstanding receivers at his disposal in sophomore Brandin Cooks out of Lincoln High and senior Markus Wheaton out of Chandler, Ariz. Both can make a quarterback feel comfortable in most any situation.
"They are hands down the best duo in the country," Vaz said. "I would argue that with anybody."
Vaz has handled everything thrown at him this season with outward calm, while working hard to be in a position to excel when called upon. Vaz accepted the backup role with class after Mannion was named the starter following a competitive fall camp. Vaz always said the right things, though frustrated watching from the sidelines. When finally given the chance to start Oct. 13 at BYU because Mannion injured his knee in the prior game, Vaz stepped up in his first start since high school and threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-24 win against one of the nation's top defenses, earning Pac-12 Player of the Week honors. Vaz held onto the starting role before injuring his left ankle at Stanford. Mannion started the final three games of the season, and Vaz saw action in the regular-season finale against Nicholls State. For the season, Vaz completed 60 percent of his passes (94 of 157) for 1,286 yards in six games, including four starts.
From the moment he stepped onto the field at BYU, Vaz displayed steely command like a seasoned veteran, a trait he possessed even as he helped lead St. Mary's to a state bowl game in 2008.
"Having command in the huddle is more about my personality and how I was raised and how I am," said Vaz, 22. "I love football, so I come out every day and practice and I just want to get better every day."
Cooks caught 64 passes for 1,120 yards and five touchdowns, and earned honorable mention Pac-12 honors and was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the top collegiate receiver in the nation. Cooks will make his 16th start and 14th in a row today, and has caught at least one pass in all 24 games of his career. Cooks set out to improve his strength and stamina in the offseason, resulting in his durability and team-best 484 yards after the catch.
"The offseason helped me develop so much in the weight room," said Cooks, 19, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 179 pounds. "Playing as a freshman was fine and dandy, but I was a small guy and I had to get in the weight room and the film room and expand my football IQ. My offseason was the breaking point, and the success we've had as a team stems from the offseason. That built us up to be who we are right now."
Vaz said Cooks has improved his route-running, and with Wheaton lined up on the other side, Texas, which has the nation's 39th-ranked passing defense, could have its hands full against the nation's 15th-ranked passing offense.
"We expect those guys to be fast and have great corners," Cooks said. "We've played against a lot of good defenses this whole year and the Pac-12 has set us up for success in this game."
Cooks said he's confident Vaz will play well today, as he has whenever he's been called on this season.
"I've been around him since high school," Cooks said. "I knew he was a great quarterback. I knew Cody was going to come in and do the job. There was no worry."
Cooks and Vaz have taken their high school rivalry with them to Corvallis.
"Every year when they play, we talk to each other," Cooks said. "It's an ongoing friendly little battle."
One that Vaz profited from this season.
"Trust me, he had to pay me five bucks (after the Rams beat the Trojans this season)," Vaz said laughing. "(Seven) years in a row. I'm definitely counting."
And both hope the point count is large and in their favor today.

Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Jonathan Coppess says the 2009 FSA county committee elections began Nov. 6, with USDA mailing ballots to eligible voters. The deadline to return the ballots to local FSA offices is Dec. 7, 2009.
"It is imperative that all eligible farmers and ranchers get involved and vote in this year's county committee elections," said Coppess.
"County committee members will provide input and make important decisions on among other things, the local administration of new disaster and conservation programs under the 2008 farm bill. I particularly encourage minority and women producers to get involved so that county committees fairly represent the producers of a county or multi-county jurisdiction."
County committee members are an important component of the operations of FSA and provide a link between the agricultural community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Farmers and ranchers who serve on county committees help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level, applying their knowledge and judgment to make decisions on: Commodity price support loans and payments; conservation programs; incentive indemnity and disaster payments for some commodities; emergency programs and payment eligibility. FSA committees operate within official regulations designed to carry out federal laws.
To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program. A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm may also be eligible to vote. Agricultural producers in each county submitted candidate nominations during the nomination period which was held last summer and ended on Aug. 3.
Eligible voters who do not receive ballots this week can obtain ballots at their local USDA Service Center. Dec. 7, 2009, is the last day for voters to submit ballots in person to local USDA Service Centers. Ballots returned by mail must also be postmarked no later than Dec. 7. Newly elected committee members and their alternates will take office Jan. 1, 2010.
Close to 7,750 FSA county committee members serve in the 2, 248 FSA offices nationwide. Each committee consists of three to 11 members who serve three-year terms. Approximately one-third of county committee seats are up for election each year.
More information on county committees, such as the new 2009 fact sheets and brochures, can be found on the FSA Web site at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/elections or at your local USDA Service Center.

Somewhere, there's a place where happy possibilities exist. Where the tools for every endeavor you choose to pursue are perusable, touchable, tangible — making your dreams of mountain ascents and steep, powdery descents that much more believable: Recreational Equipment, Inc., known by its co-op members and others as REI. If you're not ready to buy, you can rent an assortment of supplies. If you don't feel like you really know what you're doing, there's a line-up of educational classes. And when you've finally got your [financial] ducks in a row and you're outdoors-bound, it's at REI that you're likely to stop to pick up the instruments to enable you to tackle the journey of your choice, well-dressed, warm and fully stocked. Unless, of course, you're a climber and what you really want is that odd-size cam. In which case, our runner-up, Neptune Mountaineering, is the place to go.
Arts and Crafts Supplies

Second Place: Michael's
Third Place: Hobby Lobby
Fourth Place: Guiry's
Fifth Place: Meininger's
As anyone who has ever been in kindergarten knows, there is nothing quite as awesome as a really good arts and crafts session.
Any quality arts and crafts endeavor requires a whole plethora of goodies –– paint, glitter, construction paper, glue, glitter, markers, colored pencils, glitter, glitter, glitter –– you get the picture. Though a hardware store is probably not the first place you might think to go to get your art on, the people of Boulder have spoken and named McGuckin Hardware the number one spot for arts and crafts supplies. And, of course, while you're picking up all that glue and glitter, you can also pick up that power tool or socket wrench missing in your life.

Maybe you're finally ready to live out your rock star dreams. Or maybe you're just sick of Boulder's music scene and are ready to start your own band. Or maybe, just maybe, you want to get your kid any and every instrument to see what sticks, with the hopes of being able to mooch off their fame and fortune for decades to come. Whatever the case may be, Robb's Boulder Music store has got you covered. Not only does Robb's have instruments ranging from your basic needs to start a rock band to didgeridoos and timbales, Robb's also offers lessons, so you don't have to figure out how to play an instrument on your own, as well as repair, when you do try to figure out how to play an instrument on your own and you break it. Second place went to HB Woodsongs, which has been selling instruments since the '70s.

Used, pre-owned, odometer challenged, road veteran, well traveled, broken in, warmed up, experienced, however you choose to describe a used car, our readers think that Blue Spruce is the best place to buy one. It's good to know there's a place where buying a car that has already had the seat warmed up is easy even if you think the Blue Book is a melancholy tome.

Second Place: Pellman's
Third Place: Green Garage
Fourth Place: Boulder Bump Shop
Fifth Place: Independent Motors
When your car is not running as smooth as usual, you search for the best auto service and repair shop in Boulder. If you have a Honda, Acura, Subaru or Toyota, at the top of the list is Hoshi Motors, an auto repair shop that has provided its customers with reliable service for more than 22 years. This year, however, Hoshi Motors is sharing the spotlight with last year's runner-up, Super Rupair. The staff at Super Rupair has prided itself in being the Subaru experts in town. So if your car starts smoking, give either one of these places a call. If you own a car other than the aforementioned, take a look at this year's second-place winner, Pellman's.

Second Place: Lush
Third Place: Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary
Fourth Place: Bath and Body Works
Fifth Place: Sephora
Sometimes people smell bad. Sometimes people smell good. Thankfully, Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy is helping to grow this latter category with its natural, holistic bath and body products. Pharmaca's huge selection of soaps, bath salts, shower gels, oils, scrubs and cosmetics are heaven for the habitual bather, and might even be able to convince some of the smellier folks around town that hope is at hand and it comes in a lovely package. This winning shop also has traditional pharmacy services, over-the-counter medications and alternative remedies.
Bicycle Shop
839 Pearl St., 303-444-4196
Second Place: Full Cycle
Third Place: Bicycle Village
Fourth Place: Boulder Cycle Sport
Fifth Place: Community Cycles
Annual Bike to Work Days, aimless cruising on bike paths, and world-class athletes just begin to describe the community of cyclists in the Boulder area, but from training wheels to those training for races, University Cycles meets the needs of those who adore their two-wheeled wonders.
For advanced riders needing attention to detail, University Bicycles offers performance mountain and road rigs with service packages that include custom fitting and assembly for your next project. Which is why once again, University Bicycles has climbed the podium as Best of Boulder's best bicycle shop from a deep pool of contenders. Bookstore BOULDER BOOK STORE 1107 Pearl St., 303-447-2074 Second Place: Barnes & Noble Third Place: Bookworm Fourth Place: Trident Fifth Place: Lefthand Books
Few things in the world compare to the magic of books — whether that notion has you singing along to Reading Rainbow's theme song or recalling the Jorge Luis Borges quote that paradise must have shelves stocked with books. And in Boulder, for those bibliophiles interested in further building up their personal libraries, there's Boulder Book Store. The tantalizingly shelved sets of new nonfiction and fiction, the thick supply of used books for those watching their pocketbooks first, and the pleasant corners and quiet nooks for browsing make Boulder Book Store an ideal shop for spending an hour contemplating the literary delights of the world.
Bonus points for (and by that we mean second place goes to) Barnes & Noble for a fine selection of mountaineering books and a stellar fireplace to curl up next to and get some reading done.
2500 Pearl St., 303-443-1715
Second Place: Wolf Camera
Third Place: Costco
Fourth Place: Target
Fifth Place: Photo Craft
OK, we all do it — fire off the occasional snapshot using our smartphone.
But face it, we live and play in one of the most picturesque regions in the world, with dramatic skies and textured slopes and cool wildlife, and that teensy three-megapixel thumbnail just isn't always going to cut it. Real photography means real equipment, and for more than 40 years, ground zero for Boulder shutterbugs has been Mike's Camera, a frequent winner in our photography category. With cameras and lenses, finishing and frames, darkroom services and classes, tripods and flak jackets, (and yes, even custom iPhone cases), Mike's is that rare hybrid of consumer-friendly retail store and professional's equipment outlet of choice, all spread across one of the great browsing floors in Boulder. Easy parking, a longtime Boulder tradition, great service and cool equipment — Instagram that!
Hardware Store
2525 Arapahoe Ave., 303-443-1822
Second Place: Home Depot
Third Place: Table Mesa Hardware
Fourth Place: Lowe's
Fifth Place: Guiry's
McGuckin smokes the competition in this category every year. We like to say that if you can't find it at McGuckin, it doesn't exist. This place is that comprehensive. And it's way more than hardware. They throw in a bunch of other stuff, too, like outdoor gear and, at Christmas time, those little ceramic houses with moving parts and lighted windows. Take your father-in-law there and he might stay for five hours and probably drop four figures. Plus, you can't walk four steps without running into one of McGuckin's hundreds of knowledgeable, green-vested helpers. We're also kind of partial to third-place winner Table Mesa Hardware, since they are another independently owned, family business in our 'hood.
Clothing — Children's
2525 Arapahoe Ave., # H12a 303-447- 2267
Second Place: Childish Things
Third Place: Gymboree
Fourth Place: Ginger & Pickles
Fifth Place: Poppy
Boulder's smallest citizens want to look good, or at least the people who love them want them to. Keeping kids in style, function and comfort is the business of Rocky Mountain Kids, this year's winner for best children's clothing store. This locally owned retailer is run by a mother/daughter team (and now a young granddaughter) who
are dedicated to bringing top-notch, highquality apparel, accessories and footwear in small sizes to Boulder. Their staff provides excellent service and is committed to making shopping with kids, which we all know can sometimes make even the most patient of us a little crazy, a breeze.
Second place winner Childish Things is also a long-time Boulder favorite where parents can pick up some high-end, gently used clothing and footwear. The lower cost and reuse make Childish Things an attractive option for folks wanting to lessen the load on their wallet and the planet.
Computer Repair
1755 29th St., 720-479-9451
Second Place: Mac Shack
Third Place: iSupportU
Fourth Place: Boulder Mac Repair
Fifth Place: Free Range Geeks
There's no denying the mega-fruit's overall performance, especially with the newest top-tier products this year. But beyond its shiny gadgets, customers have come to expect intuitive, reliable use from everything Apple produces — including the service it provides. So when your Mac hits the deck, the obvious choice often leads to a hand-off with an Apple Store "genius." Schedule an appointment online to queue your repair, then let the technical jocks get under the hood, or screen, as the case may be.
If customers are flocking to Apple for a new product and the computer is on the fritz, runner-up Mac Shack, located on the Hill, is another preferred choice for service and repair.
Clothing — Men´s
1789 28th St., 303-583-9970
Second Place: Patagonia
Third Place: Weekends
Fourth Place: Men's Wearhouse
Fifth Place: Urban Outfitters
Whoever said your clothing can't be functional and stylish? Boulder is consistently listed as one the fittest cities in the nation, so it's no surprise then that readers have voted Recreational Equipment, Inc., aka REI, the best place in Boulder for men's clothing. Whether you're looking for boots, running gear, rain jackets or neoprene, the co-op franchise has tons of smart and spiffy options to get you looking your best and prepare you for your next outdoor adventure. Runner-up Patagonia also offers a wide selection of handsome clothing for the outdoor enthusiast.
Clothing — Used
1813 Pearl St., 303-938-1924
Second Place: Savers
Third Place: Rags Consignments
Fourth Place: Common Threads
Fifth Place: Boulder Humane Society Thrift Store
Do you know how awesome some of that unworn crap in your closet is?
Throw it all in a bag — shoes, jewelry, jeans, dresses, outerwear, the kitchen sink — and drag it all down to The Buffalo Exchange, where you'll find out which of it is really crap, and which of it is really awesome. While you're there, you'll probably realize how uncool you and your wardrobe are, because they only accept and sell the peachiest of items. Hopefully, you'll be able to trade some of your marvelous pieces in for some even more magnificent ones and, if you're lucky, you might even earn some cold, hard cash on the spot. Whether you buy, sell or trade clothing or accessories there, you're sure to leave that shop feeling more like a sweet-ass hipster than when you entered. While you're out on your shopping trip anyway, may as well stop by runner-up Savers, and donate anything that the Buffalo Exchange didn't accept. You'll receive a Savers coupon just for donating. Our best advice is to use this on their very eclectic cassette tape collection.
Clothing — Women's
1805 29th St. #1118, 303-449-4575
Second Place: Coldwater Creek
Third Place: Urban Outfitters
Fourth Place: Patagonia
Fifth Place: Prana
It's no surprise that two stores from the popular Urban Outfitters apparel group made it into Best of Boulder. Anthropologie, with its refined, boho-chic sensibility, tops the list and beat out perennial favorite active-wear brands like runners-up Patagonia and Prana. Women shop at Anthropologie for on-trend pieces featuring feminine prints and flowing yet flattering silhouettes. Anthropologie's clothing is effortlessly sexy, much like the Boulder woman, who would prefer to look like she spent the day in the mountains rather than getting ready in her bathroom (even if the latter is true). The store collaborates with up-and-coming designers for their "Made in Kind" collection, which treats clothes like pieces of art and not pieces of fabric. "Anthro" isn't just about selling apparel, it's about selling a lifestyle; grab a rustic chair or bright printed throw pillow from their home goods collection to complete your look.
CD/Record Store
1128 13th St., 303-447-0159
Second Place: Bart's Music Shack
Third Place: Absolute Vinyl
It's a tough time for record stores and for people who shop at them. Not only will kids make fun of you for listening to, what is that called, a "compact disc," it's also tough to find your favorite music in what is considered an "ancient" format. Nowadays, iPhones, iPods and MP3s continue to be the devices a lot of people are using for their music consumption. So selling CDs and vinyl records is no easy task. And that's why Albums on the Hill is once again the top spot to find the music you want on vinyl and CD. They don't have cassettes, though. They aren't that kind of vintage. But in case you can't find what you're looking for there, you can also check out the second-place winner, Bart's Music Shack, which has cassettes.
Computer — Retail
1755 29th St., 720-479-9451
Second Place: Best Buy
Third Place: Costco
Fourth Place: Mac Shack
Fifth Place: CU Bookstore
Why is the Apple Store the best computer retail store? Because everybody here owns a Mac, obviously. Step into any local coffee shop, deli or some spot with wi-fi, it's filled with MacBooks, iPhones, iPads or some other device that starts with an "i" and has a half-eaten apple on it.
But don't fret, PC users, Best Buy came in second place! Enjoy.
Costume Shop
959 Walnut St., 303-443-2850
Second Place: Theatrical Costumes, Etc.
Third Place: Candy's
Fourth Place: Goldmine Vintage
Fifth Place: Savers
What's better than the best costume shop in Boulder carrying the best, most outrageous costumes? Well, that same shop carrying super funky and fashionable everyday jewelry, boutique clothing, nutty party supplies and fun little gifts. It's things like this that provide the perfect excuse to visit The Ritz on a regular basis, a spectacular reason to start planning a themed shindig every weekend this summer, and the very, well, ritzy justification for dropping that well-earned (or inherited) dough. It's guaranteed that you'll accidentally leave with a bawdy hot pink wig, French maid outfit, or a grass skirt, when all you went in for was a bandana. Need some sweet costume gear, but don't feel like sitting in downtown Boulder traffic? Spin your car around and drive all the way to South Boulder runnerup Theatrical Costumes, Etc., where you may find excellent party extras, cool costume accessories, fancy embellishments, campy costumes, etc.

Driving on U.S. 36, with a cell phone nudged between shoulder and ear, and a piping hot caramel macchiato in hand, the last thing the early morning commuter thinks about when there's a sudden stop on the highway is balancing a drink. So where does this cup of joe land when the car abruptly jolts? All over that clean shirt that was bought yesterday, of course. The coffee may be gone, but fear not, the shirt can be saved, thanks to dry cleaners like Colorado's own Art Cleaners. This environmentally friendly cleaning service can wash everything from suede jackets to strawberrystained tablecloths, even wedding gowns.
Since 2003, their cleaning has been done by the GreenEarth Cleaning System, which replaces petroleum-based solvents with liquid silicone to help the Earth, one dirty piece of laundry at a time.

Boulderites love their local, and according to many of them, local begins with food — and food begins at farms. This year's Best of Boulder winner, Munson Farms, has been hailed as a Boulder classic. For generations, the family-operated farm has been feeding us sweet corn, vine-ripened tomatoes and some of the juiciest peaches you can imagine — you know, the kind that explode in your mouth and dribble down your chin, sending you into a fruit-induced sense of ecstasy? The farm also grows a wide variety of other seasonal fruits and veggies, and is wellknown for its annual pumpkin patch festivities, a favorite for kids. They're expecting to open the farm to the public in mid-July, but if you just can't wait, look for them at the Farmers' Market.

Fourth Place: Alfalfa's

Alpine Auto Detailing seems to have garnered the most positive remarks in the comments section of our retail category. People called it "an amazing service" and "the best detail I've ever had." They said owner Tyler Clark "runs a tight ship" and "earned my business for years to come." Somebody even said Alpine is the greatest
thing since sliced bread. Clark must be doing something right. And the concept is brilliant: You don't go to him, he comes to you, toting a trailer containing all of his equipment and supplies. Now that's service. The other independent businesses in the top five are all fine establishments as well, but we didn't see Boulder Weekly in there for some reason. What are we, chopped liver?

Blingin' Boulderites picked Hurdle's as their favorite jewelry store this year, proving that not only do we love buying from local and family-owned spots, but we like being unique (it's also fitting that our first runner-up, Boulder Arts & Crafts, is actually a co-op owned by about 40 artists). Hurdle's not only sells some of the top designer jewelry brands like David Yurman, Cartier and John Atencio, but they can be commissioned to design one-of-a-kind pieces for their customers. Or, if you've already got too many oneof-a-kind pieces cluttering up your house (and who doesn't?), Hurdle's Christina's will buy your estate pieces to be sold on consignment. Keeping with the Boulder mentality, Hurdle's explicitly states its policy against conflict diamonds on its website. Gotta love a full-service, local, family-owned jeweler with a conscience!

In all honesty, the store boasts Boulder's largest wine selection, carries more than 1,500 varieties of beer and offers online ordering. And they card everyone. So if you've been feeling a little past your prime of late, wander on in and show your ID. Just keep telling yourself you still look 21.

DURHAM, N.H. -- A report issued today by the University of New Hampshire's Carbon Solutions New England (CSNE) shows grants awarded by the state's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Fund (GHGERF) generated an annual energy use reduction of 182,800 million BTUs and a savings of more than $5 million to state businesses, communities, and residents in the second year of the program. The lifetime savings from the $18.1 million spent from the fund are projected to be $84.5 million in energy costs based on current energy prices.
The report, which covers the period from July 2010 through June 2011, also shows carbon dioxide emissions were reduced by 18,900 metric tons. Projected out over the lifetime of the program, carbon dioxide emission reductions of 300,000 metric tons would be realized. For every dollar invested by GHGERF there will be a return of $4.67 in energy savings over the lifetime of the projects.
The GHGERF was created by state legislation in 2008 and derives its funding from participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) - a regional cap-and-trade program that specifically targets carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel electric power generation. RGGI, which has nine participating states from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, creates a market for carbon dioxide emissions, and New Hampshire emissions allowances are sold at quarterly auctions. Proceeds paid into the GHGERF are administered by the N.H. Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
"The RGGI funds distributed in New Hampshire have supported a wide range of projects enhancing energy efficiency in the state," says CSNE director Cameron Wake, a co-author of the report and research associate professor at the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space. "Our detailed evaluation shows that these projects conserve energy, enhance in state sources of energy, and reduce the export of energy dollars to other regions of the country or around the globe."
In 2009 and 2010, the PUC competitively awarded 36 grants for a total of $31.1 million to support programs and projects that directly and indirectly supported the reduction of fossil fuel-based energy. The grants went to an array of public, private, and non-profit entities and program types and served a wide range of energy consumers, many whom are not covered by traditional utility-operated energy efficiency programs.
"The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Fund continues to help New Hampshire reduce its dependence on foreign sources of energy and lower its energy bills by delivering $5 million in annual cost savings from energy efficiency," says Jack Ruderman, director of the PUC Sustainable Energy Division.
Carbon Solutions New England is a public-private partnership based at UNH and works to promote collective action to achieve a clean, secure energy future while sustaining the region's unique natural and cultural resources.

Mediation Plays Central Role in Island Courts
By ALEXIS TONTI
The Martha's Vineyard Mediation Program is the silent partner of the Edgartown District Court. While what happens in court is public and sometimes pyrotechnic, mediation takes disputes off the docket and behind closed doors. It's a voluntary alternative that allows disputants, facilitated by two mediators, to work together toward a mutually agreeable solution.
Referrals from small claims court aren't the only ones that come to mediation, but they are the majority. Program coordinator Jane Thayer estimated seeing two small-claims cases for every one that comes from elsewhere in the community.
Mediation is a process ideally suited for a range of disputes: employer-employee, tenant-landlord, contractor-homeowner and neighbor to neighbor. Family disagreements - parent to teenager, separations and estate planning concerns - also bring people to mediation. The MVMP does not offer services in criminal cases or instances of spousal abuse or domestic violence.
The program started on-Island nearly 20 years ago through the efforts of Judge Herbert E. Tucker Jr. and clerk-magistrate Thomas A. Teller. Judge Tucker had come here from the Dorchester court system, where the first mediation program in the state had begun.
"We thought, why not do the same thing here? It's helpful to the court and to the people," Mr. Tucker said this week in an MVMP panel discussion with the Gazette. "Sometimes matters can be disposed of without as much attention to evidentiary matters. We don't want to frighten anybody; they don't need some shark lawyer questioning them. They can be at ease, say what they want and get away with it. It's about using your common sense. We can dispose of things without resorting to the law and clogging up the court."
Mediation is a private and confidential process. There are no judges; lawyers may be present if both parties agree, but they must follow the mediation procedure. The Island program assigns two trained mediators per case. Each party tells his story, uninterrupted, while the others listen.
The mediators do not decide who is right or wrong, and they impose no solutions. What they do is guide discussion, help overcome communication barriers, and help people to understand other points of view.
"We're like mirrors for the disputants," Ms. Thayer said. "But we can take a step back and look at the dispute in a different light."
A successful mediation does not turn on questions of law. Rather, it relies on the disputants themselves and the underlying belief that people want to settle their differences and can best decide what will work for them. The agreements are their own. Once formalized in writing and signed, they are legally binding.
In a peak year, the MVMP might see 100 cases. The mediation program, however, is not currently at its peak. It has experienced an ebb and flow since its inception. They've had as many as 30 volunteers; today the number hovers around 10.
Lack of funding is partially responsible for the cycle. A $50 fee per session covers minimal expenses, but the program is nonprofit. Though they have received occasional grants from the Massachusetts Bar Foundation - to go toward training, for example - there is no single, consistent source. And without funds it's difficult for the program to put itself in the public eye. Referrals from lawyers, Elder Care or Community Services account for many of the cases that come their way. "We never had a budget," said Mr. Teller. "We never had money, not even for a postage stamp."
Volunteer commitment, instead, supports the program from year to year. And the simple fact that it works. Mr. Teller said 85 to 90 per cent of cases that go to mediation are resolved to the satisfaction of all parties - he estimated that to be 10 per cent more than throughout the state.
"Mediation is ideal in a small community, because people have to have ongoing relationships whether they like it or not," Mr. Teller said. "These are neighbors or friends of neighbors or someone you can bump into at the A&P."
"A lot of times you hear people say, 'I just wanted you to hear my concerns,' " Ms. Thayer said.
"They may just want an apology," added mediator Catherine Chamberlain. "A case can turn on a little thing. It's often the principle of the matter."
"In that sense it complements the court process," said mediator Deborah Medders. "Some cases are more appropriate for mediation because they are so emotionally impacting."
Allowing for feeling is one of the greatest advantages of mediation. "They let off their steam, and we try to make one spout of it," said Mr. Tucker.
"We don't dismiss emotion," Mr. Hanjian said. "People come in with specific solutions in mind. But the key is to investigate why they feel so strongly. And it lets the opponent see where they're coming from."
Everyone at the table agreed that helping to find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems is all the reward they need. "It's a way to get close to the concept of justice and fair play," said mediator John Washbrook. "And in the end, the feeling of achievement, there's nothing like it."

The basics
Columbus Crew (9-3-4, 31 points; 1st in Eastern Conference) vs. Houston Dynamo (5-7-4, 19 points; 6th in Western Conference)
Saturday, July 24, 6:30 p.m. CT
Crew Stadium, Columbus OH
All-time record: Series tied 2-2-5. Crew lead 2-1-1 in Columbus.
Broadcast info
FOX Sports Houston Plus
TV Informa
SportsTalk 790 AM
La Ranchera 850 AM
What's at stake?
It's been more than two months without an MLS win for the Dynamo, who head into Crew Stadium riding a six-game winless streak in league play but just went 2-0-1 in SuperLiga action. The MLS streak includes a scoreless draw at Robertson Stadium against the Crew on July 10. The Crew want to end a three-game homestand on a positive note before traveling to Chivas USA, Philadelphia, and Real Salt Lake.
Columbus Crew news
With defender Frankie Hejduk (red-card suspension) and MF Brian Carroll (right-ankle sprain) out, expect a shuffled lineup. Adam Moffat practiced at right back and rookie defender Shaun Francis could see action. Forward Emilio Renteria will get an encore performance after scoring against New York last week. Said Carroll on this week's matchup with Houston: "It's a solid team top to bottom, and whether you play them home or away, it's just a tough game."
Houston Dynamo news
Saturday will mark the Dynamo's seventh match this month, including the U.S. Open Cup and SuperLiga. Their physical and hard-fought (12 cards, 35 fouls) 1-0 win against Mexico's Puebla in the SuperLiga on Wednesday gave the Dynamo a 2-1-3 record in all July games. Saturday's match also marks the debut for former New England standout Steve Ralston, who joined the coaching staff as an assistant after John Spencer left last week. Said midfielder Brad Davis: "He's been a great ambassador to this league and a great player, and I think he's got a great soccer mind."
Heroes & villains
Houston forward Brian Ching v. Crew defender Chad Marshall: Next week they will be All-Star teammates against Manchester United, but Saturday they will be locked in a duel that could decide the match. Ching is probably still wondering how he missed an open look against the Crew in the last meeting, while Marshall has overcome a stretch of injuries and is in the running for a third straight MLS Defender of the Year award.
Stat that makes you go "Hmm":
Expect the flags to go up early and often. Houston's 62 offside calls lead the league. Columbus (59) is second.

LA JOLLA, Calif. - UC San Diego baseball player Elias Tuma has been named the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The announcement was made Thursday at the CCAA Executive Council Meetings in Chico.
To be nominated for the award, student-athletes must have at least a 3.5 grade point average, completed their final season of eligibility and participated in a CCAA-sponsored sport. The award is voted on and selected by the Faculty Athletic Representatives from each of the conference's 12 institutions.
Tuma, a relief pitcher for the Tritons, possesses a remarkable 3.93 cumulative GPA as a Cognitive Science major at UCSD's Muir College.
The senior right-hander capped off a superb playing career by appearing in 28 games in 2012, giving him 82 trips to the hill over his four seasons, the most by any Triton in program history. Tuma led the CCAA in appearances for the second consecutive season. He also registered three saves in 2012 to finish with 13, which ranks second on UCSD's career list.
Overall in 2012, Tuma finished with a 3.83 ERA and struck out 37 batters over 40 innings of work. The Fremont native totaled three combined shutouts, the most on the Triton staff. In 19 CCAA outings, he posted a stellar 1.86 ERA and held opponents to a .237 batting average. On Apr. 1 at Cal State Stanislaus, Tuma struck out a career-high six hitters. He never walked more than one batter in an outing.
In late May, Tuma was named an Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the second consecutive year.
Tuma is the second Triton to garner the CCAA Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award in as many seasons as soccer player David Bakal earned the honor in 2011. UCSD swept last year as Kelly Fogarty of the track and field team won on the women's side. Since 1990, the first year the awards were handed out, UC San Diego has produced 10 winners (six men and four women), more than any other current or former CCAA institution.
The 2011-12 CCAA Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award went to Sonoma State volleyball player Keala Peterson.

Panthers WR Gettis anxious to return, make impact
Panthers WR Gettis anxious to return, make impact
Panthers third-year wide receiver David Gettis says he plans to return to practice Monday following a lengthy layoff.
Gettis spent the first six weeks of the NFL season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list with a hamstring injury after missing all of last season recovering from a torn ACL in his knee.
He says he's "100 percent and ready to go" and eager to make an impact for the Panthers. Under NFL rules, Gettis can begin practicing Monday and the Panthers have a three week window to activate him to the 53-man roster.
Gettis started 15 games as a rookie for the Panthers in 2010 playing alongside Steve Smith and caught 37 passes for 508 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
The Panthers have a bye this weekend.

Lederach, Mary Mensch (1898-1980)
Mary Mensch Lederach, a shepherdess in the Mennonite Church (MC) was born 24 January 1898 in Skippack, PA to Jennie D. Heckler and Abraham B. Mensch. Graduating in 1914 from tenth grade, she entered Millersvile State Normal School, completing her studies there in 1918. She taught five grades at the Iron Bridge Public School in Rahns, PA, then in 1919-1920 taught at Hesston College in Kansas. Returning in 1921 to nurse her mother and grandmother, Mary married Willis K. Lederach. That year, the Lederachs moved to Norristown, PA to assist the Franconia Mennonite Conference Board of Missions (MC) in its first mission, where they served until 1928. Throughout southeastern Pennsylvania Mary became known as an excellent public speaker, making over 200 appearances to church and civic groups, giving family-life talks in a manner that was both commanding and engaging. She embraced plain dress and modesty, and for over three decades gave talks on human sexuality. Secretly she donated all her income as a post office worker and real estate agent to assisting needy people. Her children are Paul Mensch Lederach, Ruth Mensch Lederach Rittgers, Mary Jane Lederach Hershey, and John Mensch Lederach. She died 16 July 1980.
