The St. Louis Rams just announced the Dolphins inactives. Sad, but true. Theinactives are:
Michael Egnew, Jabar Gaffney, Pat Devlin, Richard Marshall, Daniel Thomas, and Rishard Matthews.
That means linebacker Kevin Burnett, who appeared on the injury report Friday with an ankle injury, is active and apparently starting.
I know what you're about to say: Gaffney is a disappointment. Well, not yet. Obviously he still is not quite familiar enough with the offense to be viable on game day. But it has only been two weeks since he arrived.
He gets a bye week this week to learn the offense better. I suppose/expect he'll be in the playbook catching up rather than vacationing in the Bahamas with teammates. If he doesn't know the offense when the team comes back Oct. 28, then I have to question his learning prowess.
As you know, the Dolphins will induct Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor into their Honor Roll today. The new name tags are in the west end of the stadium.
There will be a live blog. It happens in the comments section below. I will join you at kickoff.

Yesterday I posted about part of my trip to Switzerland County, Indiana last month. I promised to write more about my cemetery adventures, so here goes.
There are two family cemeteries across the street from each other in Cotton Township, Switzerland County. Most of my ancestors from the area are buried in those two cemeteries. On this trip, I wanted to map each cemetery on this trip and update the transcriptions that were published in 1982. The transcriptions were correct for the most part, but it was organized in alphabetical order and lost the relationships of where people were buried.
We got out of the car and I let my husband choose which task he wanted: to photograph the stones or map the cemetery. He chose mapping and I gave him some graph paper and he got out his clipboard, pencil and eraser and was ready to go. I also had copies of the previous cemetery reading. At each stone, we found the name in the old transcription and numbered it, added the number to the map and took a photograph.
We first went to Littlefield Cemetery, the smaller of the two.
Then we went across the street to Bovard Cemetery.
We were fairly successful. Of course the gravestones most deteriorated from the elements were my ancestors' stones. We found some new graves of people buried since the 1982 cemetery reading. We also found 2 stones of my ancestor's children that were not in the index. These stones had been broken and repaired. I'm guessing that they were underground in 1982 and therefore not found.
One of these stones was for Jane Bovard, daughter of Robert and Margaret Bovard. I didn't even know they had a daughter named Jane, but I should. I have an abstract of Robert's naturalization that states all his children. There was a missing comma between Martha and Jane and I had assumed that it was one daughter named Martha Jane. I was glad to add Jane to my database. We also found the stone for her brother John. I knew John died before the 1870 census, but I never found his grave. Now I have and he died in 1867.
I submitted the maps and indexes that we created to the Indiana Genealogical Society as a free database. I also added the photos that I took to Find A Grave.

Littlefield Cemetery on Find A Grave
It was a great trip even though my husband turned into a redneck. (I forgot that he would need sunscreen.)

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Dozens and dozens of children — and a few adults — performed for Pope Benedict XVI this morning at St. Maron Catholic School in Nicosia.
There was some quarreling and some crying backstage before the performance, after all the little ones had been waiting in the hot sun for more than an hour.
But the performance went off without a hitch. The pope seemed to enjoy it. The kids were bursting with pride. And parents distributed lots of hugs.
Maronite Archbishop Youssef Soueif of Cyprus said the theme of the performance was the four seasons and that the various songs and dances were drawn from Cypriot heritage, Latin culture and traditional life in the Maronite villages.

Transferring / Transferring when starting in the spring« on: November 01, 2010, 06:00:10 PM »
I was registered to attend Thomas Cooley this past September, but ended up deferring it for one year because of personal reasons, so now I am supposed to start September of 2011. I emailed admissions and asked if it were possible to begin classes this spring semester, and they replied with a yes. I was wondering, however, if I started my first semester of law school in the spring and wanted to transfer later on, how hard would that be? Is it possible to start in the spring, take summer classes, then transfer for that fall semester? I know most law schools want transfer students to complete their entire first year before accepting them. How would this work with beginning Thomas Cooley during the spring semester? Would I be better off waiting until the fall semester? The more answers, the better! Thanks!

Surely one of our most important responsibilities as parents is to show our children what it means to have a committed and loving marriage. It won't necessarily keep them from having problems in their own marriages, but it still could do much to help them overcome any difficulties.
Why are so many marriages failing today? I can answer only from my own perspective as a Christian and a minister. I'm convinced one reason is because we no longer see marriage as a commitment — a commitment made to God, as well as to each other. Jesus said, "So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:6).
Another reason marriages are failing today is because we've lost sight of what it truly means to love someone. "Love," for many people, is only an emotion, and when the emotion fades, so too does their relationship. But true love is also an act of the will — a commitment to put the other person first instead of self. The Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It is not self-seeking" (1 Corinthians 13:4-5).
God gave marriage to us for our happiness and security. But when we leave him out of the picture, our happiness and security easily fade. Don't let this happen to you, but commit your life — and your marriage — to Jesus Christ, and build your relationship on him.

Former M players tweet during OSU
Former Wolverines tweet on Game
Several former Michigan players used Twitter to express themselves during the 37-7 loss to Ohio State. Among those who tweeted were Jay Feely, Jamie Morris, Jonathan Goodwin, Steve Breaston and Desmond Howard. Feely, Breaston and former U-M players Alan Branch and Gabe Watson -- all currently playing for the Arizona Cardinals -- apparently watched the game together.
• @jayfeely: @SBreaston15, Branch, Gabe Watson all if us are beside ourselves watching this shell of what Michigan used to be.
• @JMorris23: We are the Best Big East in the Big Ten....... Bar none!!!
• @jgoody76: This just got even more disgusting. Is it time for a change?
• @SBreaston15: Yikes! Smh
• @desmond_howard As a Wolverine who NEVER lost 2 the Buckeyes, I think U should worry less about a tie and MORE about the product on the field. #wrongfocus
Its a shame our former players are out there saying this, but I guess I get it.

Lewes FC are back back back. As if that's not exciting enough on its own merit - get a load of this - we're now a community (community!) club. Ultimately, the fans will own the Rooks and will be able to vote the board in or out. Only time will tell if this a good move for the club but I think its both innovative and exciting.
Seeing as EFW is going to be part of this community, I thought I'd try and put this site to use in an attempt to try and bring some colour to the Rook Inn aka the Lewes FC clubhouse. Fans from all over Europe have been kindly donating scarves from their clubs.
So on the morning of this pre-season friendly against Worthing, Mr Fuller and I were up at the Dripping Pan sticking stuff up on the walls and around the bar in an attempt to turn the Rook Inn into a fanhouse. It's only just begun. If you want to be part of it, send us a scarf of your team and you'll be part of our community. Everyone is welcome at Lewes FC.
Woodside Road seemed as good a place as any to see in the new season. The Rebels have a great fanbase themselves. They've also had the mandatory financial issues. Towards the end of last season their players were issued with an ultimatum: accept 30 quid a week or off you go. To their credit they stayed. Fast forward to 2010/11 though and they have a new manager and one or two (and the rest - Ed.) players who've joined from Horsham YMCA.
If you think I'm going to use this forum to tell you that I once played at Woodside Road you've got another thing coming. The last thing I want to do is sit here and tell you how I once scored a 22 yard screamer into the roof of the net at this very stadium. Its changed a bit since then. They've added a few new stands, things are in colour and it's no longer called Woodside Road - its the A2B stadium or something similar.
The game wasn't a classic. It was never going to be. It was hotter than Greece and the players have only just returned from a couple of weeks in Magaluf. The highlight of the match occurred when the ball bounced into the electricity sub station underneath one of the floodlights. Thoughts turned to those 70s public information films and, indeed, Charlie says. Charlie says don't talk to strangers and don't expect too much entertainment in a pre-season friendly.
You expect substitutions ahoy in these type of matches but Worthing went one better. They substituted the ball on about four different occasions. After suffering a kick in the Jubulanis by losing the original in an electricity sub station (see above) we had red ones, white ones, red and white ones. If Norris McWhirter hadn't of popped his clogs, I'd have dropped him a line to ask what the previous multi ball record was.
Anyway, the game aside it was great to be back amongst friends. No beer on the terraces at Worthing though. That wouldn't have mattered too much other than the fact their clubhouse smelt of three weeks in the Lake District without a wash. They need to sort that out. Friendly bunch though - good luck to them.
After the match the EFW team found themselves in the Cricketers. A pub with live music and a beer festival was always going to catch our attention. Pints of Burpy Bottom and Wobbly Tummy went down ten treats.
There weren't too many alternatives in the vicinity of Woodside Road. Sadly, the Clifton has now closed its doors, we hadn't been in Chapmans for fifteen years and didn't intend to change that. There is the Jolly Brewers and the Richard Cobden. Its either those or do as the locals do and sit on the kerb with a can of cider. Not my words those before you write in, those of Larry from Lancing. Of course Larry from Lancing.
So what will the next nine months bring? Last minute winners, over priced cheeseburgers, quality clubhouses, banter, changing ends at half time, Harvey's and something else positive that I can't quite put my finger on now but I will do in the course of time. Please forgive me this morning - I have a burpy bottom and a wobbly tummy. Cheers!

Magic Mile Power Rankings: Chicago
Well, I have to say I'm a bit rusty as it's been nearly three months since the last time I updated these power rankings, there's no time like the present. So, with the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in the books, let's take a look at the top-13 playoff drivers following Sunday night's race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Matt Kenseth picked up his sixth win of the season, improving his once three-point lead to eight over Kyle Busch, who finished in second in the race.
Here's a look at the Magic Mile Power Rankings* heading into Sunday's race here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:
1. Matt Kenseth - Well, duh. Not only was he leading before the rain came down and delayed an afternoon race into a prime-time race, but he was the first man to cross the finish line 6.5 hours after the race began. The fact this was Kenseth's Cup-leading sixth victory of the season doesn't hurt, either.
2. Kyle Busch - Rowdy led 67 laps on Sunday night and came less than a second from pulling off a triple-header weekend sweep of the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series. Maybe the most important thing Busch did all weekend, however, was keep himself alive in the Chase, something that's proved to be difficult for Shrub over the years.
3. Jimmie Johnson - It's not a far stretch to say that last week was not a great week for NASCAR. To add insult to injury, a NASCAR official cost the 48 valuable track position on pit road Sunday night. But like a champion - in this case, a Five-Time champion - does, Johnson simply stated a fact "Well, that wasn't cool," then went on to finish fifth. Not a bad night, considering.
4. Jeff Gordon - Gordon was a pretender until an unprecedented announcement to make him the 13th contender on Friday. The also ran then proceeded to lead 22 laps and grab his fourth straight top-10. Don't look now but the 24 just might make a run at this thing.
5. Kevin Harvick - This is exactly what makes Happy a serious threat to this championship. Two laps led and a modest race turns into a third-place finish. Sneaky good.
6. Kurt Busch - It's one thing for a one-car team to make a little history by making the Chase, it's another to actually contend for the championship. Busch never led a lap on Sunday night, but there he was when the checkered flag was flying, crossing the finish line in fourth.
7. Clint Bowyer - It couldn't have been an easy week for Bowyer. Between accusations, fines and docked points, the driver of the No. 15 5-hour Energy ran a very respectable race and snagged a ninth-place finish, his first top-10 in four starts. Maybe this was the wake-up call this team needed.
8. Ryan Newman - Like Gordon, Newman thought he was chasing the Chase rather than competing in it until NASCAR made its announcement to dock then Chaser Martin Truex Jr. 50 points, thus giving the spot over to Newman. A 10th-place finish on Sunday night certainly keeps the 39 as a factor moving forward.
9. Carl Edwards - It had to be a disappointing finish for Cousin Carl, who had a strong car at Chicagoland. That being said, Edwards is coming off a win in the season finale and can still make a run at this thing in spite of an 11th place finish to kick off the Chase. Of course, New Hampshire hasn't always been kind to the 99, so we'll see what happens.
10. Kasey Kahne - Kahne hasn't completely taken himself out of this thing yet, but it's going to take a lot better effort for the 5 team moving forward. Not a lot of great things to say here.
11. Joey Logano - The positive is that he took the pole and led 32 laps, but that was about the only thing that went right for the 22 car on Sunday. And a 52-point deficit in the standings is proof of that.
12. Greg Biffle - The Biff led two laps on Sunday, but failed to really be a factor in a race that was top-heavy from start to finish. This is going to take multiple wins for Biffle to even begin to be in the Chase contention talks. New Hampshire could be just the spot for him to attack.
13. Dale Earnhardt Jr. - Look, the fact is that Junior isn't going to intentionally destroy his championship dreams by helping a teammate through a purposely-blown engine. That sounds ludicrous even in spite of this abysmal week in NASCAR's history.
Top Non-Chaser. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. - Did is just take half the season for him to shake off the rust? After failing to crack the top 10 in the first 25 races of the season, Stenhouse picked up his second straight top-10 with an eighth on Sunday night.

Darts Club were formed in 2001 by singer/songwriter Rob Hughes and guitarist and bass player Dave Seabright, both of ex-perennial Cmabridge favourites Pogul Magee. After recording the well-received acoustic CD A Fear of Beards with Glenn Jobson(formerly of Slinky and Blind Velma), the duo became a trio as Glenn graduated from temporary organ player on the CD to take his place as the full-time Darts Club bass player.
Joined next by Sarah Stow(ex of many bands) on drums, the first full Darts Club line-up was complete and ready to meet the Cambridge scene with a fresh fervour and an organic style. The Wind Factory CD, released in 2002, showcased their fuller sound and was as well received as their previous recording.
In 2003/4, the band began to receive more attention and were joined by Simon Powell(ex Slinky/Blind Velma) who completed the definitive Darts Club sound. The band are now in the process of promoting their first album, A Picture of Health, described by the band as "a fantastic mix of spanners and spikes, bondage and biscuits".

Drug Lab Removals (ERP)
Health and Safety code section 25354.5 requires DTSC removal and disposal of hazardous substances discovered by law enforcement officials while investigating illegal/clandestine drug laboratories. The illegal manufacture of psychoactive drugs, primarily methamphetamine, is a major health and safety issue, while the disposal of illegal drug lab waste poses a significant environmental threat to both urban and rural communities. Contaminants at drug labs and lab waste abandonments range from highly volatile organic solvents and semi-volatile organic compounds, to highly corrosive inorganic acids and bases, the illicit drug itself, and other by-products. DTSC's Drug Lab Removal Program has funded and coordinated removal and disposal actions at more that 18,000 illegal drug labs and drug lab waste abandonments since July 1, 1995.
To Request State Assistance:
DTSC assistance for removal of suspected hazardous substances from illegal drug labs may be requested by state or local law enforcement agencies, or by other local government agencies working with law enforcement agencies on a drug lab, or abandoned drug lab wastes. If you are a business or private citizen and discover drug lab wastes on your property, along the road, or in some remote area, contact your local law enforcement agency and provide them with the location of the lab waste abandonment. Do not attempt to move or inspect the materials as they contain hazardous wastes and should only be handled by trained personnel.
An agency wanting to request DTSC assistance during normal work hours (Monday - Friday, 8 am-5 pm), should call the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) at (800) 260-3972 or (916) 255-6504, and request to speak to the DTSC Emergency Response Duty Officer. After hours, weekends, or on holidays, call the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Warning Control Center at (800) 852-7550. Notify Cal OES of the incident and of the fact that you are requesting state assistance for the cleanup. They will contact the DTSC Emergency Response Duty Officer who will then contact you.

Mary Richardson Kennedy was nearly one and half times the drive driving limit when she was stopped by police outside a school in Bedford, New York but it was witness reports from as far back as 2007 tell the story of a woman in great distress.
A local newspaper has obtained police records regarding the Kennedy family and they show a history of years of emotional public breakdowns, domestic incidents and now driving while under the influence.
Richardson Kennedy is the second wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of assassinated Senator Robert Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy. The couple has four children together as well as Kennedy's two children from his previous marriage.
In this incident Richardson Kennedy was stopped by the police outside the St Patrick's school high school when her 2004 Volvo station wagon mounted the sidewalk. She said that she had come down to pick people up from the school.
Her blood-alcohol level measured 0.11 percent. The maximum legal limit is .08 percent.
Police records show that in 2007 Robert F. Kennedy had driven his wife to a psychologist in Northern Westchester Hospital as he was worried about her mental health.
When they arrived at the hospital she ran from the car into the road. When Robert a caught up with her he held her down on the ground "to keep her from hurting herself". Unable to control her he then asked a passing motorist to call the police.
Officer Glenn Janik, of Kisco police department, said "Mr. Kennedy stated he wanted his wife to see a psychologist."
"Mrs. Kennedy stated she was fine and did not want to go to the hospital. After speaking to both parties, Mrs. Kennedy stated she wanted to go home. Mr. Kennedy agreed to this and returned to the hospital lot to get his vehicle."
Though Richardson Kennedy insisted she was fine the witnesses to the event told another story.
Rae Kesten, the passerby who called the police said "I remember she was acting kind of out of it, kind of crazy. She was running into the street and flailing her arms around. He was trying to restrain her. I didn't know if they were fighting or not, but I was concerned."
On December 19, 2007, she was stopped by the police when she crashed her Volvo into the fire zone sign outside a Target store on the North Bedford Road. Police records show there was no sign that any alcohol had been taken.
The police have also had to deal with domestic callouts from the Kennedy family. On January 16, 2008 Robert Kennedy called the police and asked them to check on his wife's well being. She was not at the house when they arrived.
Richardson Kennedy was given driving tickets on their other occasions; two involved alleged cell-phone violations and on illegal U-turn. The records also showed interactions with Robert Kennedy mainly to do with the escape of his pet hawks.
Over the last two months the police have also been called to the Kennedy's home. Police said that these visits were unrelated to her recent arrest.
Earlier this month the police were called to the house to deal with a report of a dispute between children.
Police were called to the house on May 13 and filed a "domestic incident report". Lieutenant Jeff Dickan said "no crimes committed no report of assault, no arrests and no need for follow-up."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Dec. 4, 2009) -- After taking on one of the nation's top teams two nights earlier, the ETSU men's basketball team heads to UAB to meet the Blazers Friday evening at 8 p.m. inside Bartow Arena.

Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team has won three of its last four games, with that only loss coming at the hands of No. 11 Tennessee in a hard-fought 78-66 game that saw the Bucs within striking distance throughout ... Prior to the loss at Tennessee, ETSU had won three straight including a victory over SEC foe Arkansas on the road, 94-85, and the team's first conference win over the year 82-56 over North Florida ... The Bucs (4-4), who are now 3-0 at home and 1-4 on the road this sesaon, head back on the road for a matchup with UAB tonight ... ETSU just finished a stretch of six games in 12 days that included road trips to Chattanooga, Morgan State, Louisville and Arkansas, as well as home games against College of Charleston and North Florida ... ETSU had been without the services of preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), but the 1,000-point scorer and team's top returning player came back against North Florida in the team's last game, scoring 14 points in 21 minutes of play ... In Smith's absence, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) have stepped up their games � In fact, Hubbard has posted double-doubles in five of his last seven games leading to his selection as A-Sun player of the week ... his week included a career best 32-point effort against the Razorbacks and a game-high 25-point effort in the victory over UNF ... Meanwhile, Tubbs posted a career best 29 points against CofC and 21 against Arkansas, to go with nine rebounds ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs lead the team in scoring with 17.4 and 16.1 points per game, respectively.
The series against UAB
ETSU has played the Blazers twice in the program's history, losing in back-to-back seasons ... The Bucs lost at home to UAB 72-57 during the 1984-85 season, and then lost on the road 63-44 in 1985.
Last time out
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 2, 2009) - Facing the nation's No. 11-ranked Tennessee Volunteers, the ETSU men's basketball team found itself within striking distance late, but was unable to make a run when it was needed and dropped a 78-66 contest Wednesday night inside Thompson-Boling Arena ... Junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville) posted a game-high 22 points, and the Bucs also got double-digit scoring from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) with 11 and freshman point guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) with 10, but despite those efforts ETSU could do no more than give the Vols a significant scare ... Against a team that prides itself on forcing turnovers, the Bucs only turned it over 13 times and shot well both from the floor (44 percent) and free throw line (85 percent). ETSU also held its own in the paint, being out-rebounded only by two at 34-32 ... Tennessee came out on fire in the first half, shooting 75 percent from the floor over the first 10 minutes of play and building a lead of as many as 14 points at 26-12 with 9:39 left before the intermission. However, from there ETSU did not fold, outscoring the Vols 19-10 the rest of the way to finish the half just five back at 36-31 ... In the first 20 minutes, the Bucs held their own in most every statistical category, but UT dominated in the paint by outscoring ETSU 24-10 under the basket. ETSU stayed close thanks to a 75 percent clip at the foul line, where they were 6-of-8 and shot well above their season average of 60 percent ... In the second half, the Bucs cut the Tennessee lead to three at 42-39 with 15:36 thanks to a layup by Tubbs. ETSU stayed within striking distance most of the way in the second half and trailed just 64-58 with 4:37 left, but an 8-0 spurt by UT ended with a three-point play by Tyler Smith that made it 72-61 with 1:25 left. From there the Bucs got the game within single digits a couple times but were unable to turn the tide.
Bartow returns home
Having spent played and coached at UAB, Friday night's game will indeed be a special homecoming for ETSU head coach Murry Bartow ... Bartow played for the Blazers and served as an assistant at UAB under his father Gene ... He was the Blazers head coach from 1996 to 2002, leading UAB to the NIT in 1997 and 1998, and an NCAA trip in 1999 ... He has been the coach at ETSU since 2003-04.
Hubbard steps up his game, averaging double-double
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game, and those strides most recently led to being selected A-Sun Player of the Week ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard posted a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas and dropped in another game-high 26 in the win over UNF ... He currently leads the Bucs with 17.4 points per game and 9.4 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in five of the last seven games, his efforts began to pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga back on Nov. 17 ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn't stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Tubbs getting it done for the Bucs
When junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) transfered out of the University of Alabama and came to ETSU, many expected the athletic guard to provide an immediate impact on the offensive end of the floor ... This has been the case ... Against Charleston, Tubbs posted a game high and career high 29 points in the Bucs win over Charleston (11/25) ... He followed that effort up with 21 points against Arkansas, and a game high 22 points in the loss to Tennessee ... currently, Tubbs has eclipsed double-figure scoring in six of the Bucs first eight games and is second on the team with 16.1 points per game.
Sollazzo steps up on night ETSU honors Coy
Before the start of the Bucs' Homecoming game against Appalachian State (11/14), the ETSU community honored the memory of former center Seth Coy, who died in a car accident last summer ... His former roommate and friend, Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), now wears Coy's No. 43 jersey and against the Mountaineers he played inspired basketball ... Sollazzo set a career high with 13 points and hit two critical foul shots in the final seconds to get the win.
Bench play critical in win over Mountaineers
With only 21 points of offensive production from its starting five on Saturday, the Bucs got a huge lift from its bench against the Mountaineers ... All three ETSU players to reach double figures -- Adam Sollazzo (13), Justin Tubbs (11) and Sheldon Cooley (11) -- all came off the bench, and the Bucs got a total of 41 from the reserves as a whole ... With injuries costing the Bucs several offensive weapons, look for ETSU to continue to count on the bench.
Preseason polls pick Bucs middle of the pack
The ETSU men's basketball team was picked fourth by the Atlantic Sun Conference coaches and fifth by the league's media in preseason polls release Wednesday by the conference office ... The conference's two most recent tournament champions, ETSU (2009) and Belmont (2006-08) place fourth and fifth, depending on the poll. The Buccaneers edged out the Bruins for the spot from the coaches while the media gave the nod the Bruins. Both teams suffered tremendous losses due to graduation. ETSU must replace Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), one of the highest scoring duos in the nation a season ago.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs' 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech volleyball team battled through a tough second day at the WKU Invitational Saturday, dropping back-to-back 3-0 losses to IUPUI and No. 10 Dayton as the challenging early-season road stretch continued.
Tech slipped to 1-7 overall in 2012 with all eight matches on the road, and the schedule returns to the road next weekend for the Samford Invitational.
On Saturday, Tech lost a morning match to IUPUI, 25-10, 25-18 and 25-16, as the Jaguars improved to 6-4.
The Jaguars quickly established Kelsey Hoefer, Moriah Fair and Bethany Fogler in the early going as the trio each registered at least two kills helping IUPUI sprint out to a 10-5 lead. Four Tech attack errors and a Kortni Wright kill followed, pushing the Jags lead to 15-5. The IUPUI lead grew to as many as 15 and that proved to be the final margin as the Jaguars took the first set, 25-10.
The Golden Eagles put up a much stiffer fight in the second set, controlling the early portion before reaching a 15-15 tie. IUPUI got four kills from Fair and Tech made two bad sets, resulting in a seven-point Jaguar run and a 22-15 lead. It proved to be the difference in the set as IUPUI took a 25-18 win.
A pair of aces and two Golden Eagle attack errors helped IUPUI take a 5-1 lead in the third set, and that lead grew to five, 14-9. A Tech timeout helped turn the momentum and a three-point run cut the Jags lead to two, 15-13. IUPUI came back from a timeout with a three-point run of its own to reestablish a five-point cushion at 18-13. From there, the Jags cruised to a 25-16 and the three-set win.
Natalie Penrod received all-tournament honors and led Tech with eight kills and three block assists. Kelsey Gray had six kills and four block assists. Tech also got four block assists from Katrina Dvorken and three from Madison Keys as the Golden Eagles finished with eight total team blocks. Courtney Smith led the back line with 16 digs.
Tech's assignment didn't get any easier in the afternoon, facing No. 10 ranked Dayton in the final match of the tournament after the flyers had suffered back-to-back losses – their first losses of the year.
The Flyers wasted little time getting back to their winning ways. Behind a season-high 11-kill performance from junior Shayne Brown, Dayton defeated the Golden Eagles in three sets, 25-11, 25-12, 25-21.
Brown converted 11 of 12 kill attempts for an astounding .917 hitting percentage. The Flyers as a team hit .284 and limited the Golden Eagles to .057.
Freshman Janna Krafka recorded 13 kills and added two of the team's seven service aces. Samantha Selksy added 43 assists and eight digs, while Isolde Hannan and senior Rachel Krabacher tallied eight kills each.
Tech managed a solid .250 hitting mark in the first set but the Flyers connected for a .485 mark. Tech slipped to a negative hitting percentage in the second set, before bouncing back in the third set with a .118 mark. Despite facing the long odds, the Golden Eagles rallied in the third set before losing by a narrow, 25-21 score.
Tech was led on the attack by Penrod and Keyes with five kills each while Dvorken led at the net with one block solo and five block assists.

Lester G. Abeloff, a World War II bomber crewman, businessman and philanthropist who epitomized the importance of giving back to his community, died at his home Tuesday.
Lester G. Abeloff, a World War II bomber crewman, businessman and philanthropist who epitomized the importance of giving back to his community, died at his home Tuesday.
He was 95.
Known early in his career in the 1950s and 1960s as the owner of Les Abeloff Pontiac in Stroudsburg, Abeloff, the son of a furniture salesman, later became known for his support of local arts and education in his hometown.
He was recognized by the Pocono Mountains chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professions with a lifetime achievement award in 2008.
Pocono Medical Center, Temple Israel, East Stroudsburg University, the YMCA and the Salvation Army were among the organizations Abeloff contributed his money.
"Pocono Medical Center, ESU and Temple Israel, those are my top three charities," he told the Pocono Record in 2008.
Giving was in his nature and he had a focus on faith, healing and education when it came to the local organizations he supported.
The Abeloff Center for Performing Arts at his alma mater, East Stroudsburg University, was named in his honor, and the Clementine Abeloff Community Health Center at the Pocono Medical Center was named after his wife in 1996.
Early on, Abeloff was a strong supporter of his Jewish faith, being elected president of the Young People's League of Temple Israel in 1937. He acknowledged that the area had opened up more to different cultures and religions in the decades he lived here.
"When I was growing up, as a kid, this wasn't as tolerant a community as it is now. There's a lot more diversity now," he said in 2008.
He fought for freedom aboard a World War II bomber after he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1941.
He was the lead squadron navigator on a B-17 "Flying Fortress," completing more than 50 missions before being shot down.
Abeloff served for 4� years, receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart. He retired as a lieutenant colonel.
Abeloff was born in Stroudsburg in 1917. He attended East Stroudsburg High School and later East Stroudsburg State Teachers College (now East Stroudsburg University) during the Depression. He graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in secondary education in 1939. Later, he taught at the Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J.
Abeloff was married for 63 years to Clementine G. (Kupiszewski) Abeloff, who died on Aug. 9, 2005. He is survived by a son, Daniel P. Abeloff of Carlsbad, Calif.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at Temple Israel, 711 Wallace St., in Stroudsburg, with Baruch Melman officiating.
Burial will follow in Eliazer's Garden section of Laurelwood Cemetery, Stroudsburg.

One of the biggest obstacles the Pocono Mountain Public Library has faced is its nondescript location, tucked away on the second floor of one of the buildings in the Coolbaugh Township municipal complex.
One of the biggest obstacles the Pocono Mountain Public Library has faced is its nondescript location, tucked away on the second floor of one of the buildings in the Coolbaugh Township municipal complex.
That problem will disappear come January.
The new library is still on the township complex property but will reside in a new two-story building sitting just steps from busy Route 611.
While the opening date has been pushed back a few months, library officials now target January for its opening date in the much more visible location.
"There were people who didn't know where we were," said Ann Shincovich, the library's director. "When we open, you're not going to be able to miss us."
The original opening date for the $5.6 million building project decades in the making was June, then early fall, then the dreaded "to be determined."
The latest opening date isn't finalized, but Shincovich expects to be in the new, state-of-the-art building sometime in January.
New furniture is being moved in starting next week, she said, and the final construction touches are being applied.
There still are some permitting issues that need to be worked out — like the occupancy permit — and some other items that could possibly delay the opening, but Shincovich said January is a good bet.
"I feel like Scarlett O'Hara telling people, 'As God as my witness, we'll be in there in January!'" she said.
Shincovich said one plan was to close the library, which serves residents of Coolbaugh Township and Mount Pocono, over the holidays to move all the books, furniture and materials into the new building, but that would have been a very tight schedule.
Also, she said she didn't want to close the existing library over the holidays with school out and many people off from work.
The new building brings the size of the library from about 8,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet, more than quadruples to 34 the number of computers available, and makes the whole building wireless accessible.
It will feature separate rooms and areas for things like family reading, tutoring, a cafe area and community rooms.
While some groups already have secured naming rights on the room — like the ESSA Bank and Trust Story Room — other naming opportunities for the other rooms are still available.

It has been such a busy crazy time for me. I'm sure many of you can relate. But I still had time to bake something this week. It needed to be quick and it needed to be easy. But it still had to be a yummy dessert. You will find it in these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. The addition of Macadamia nuts elevates it to something extra special and extra delicious.
Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookie Bars
Recipe by Ghirardelli
Yield: 16 bars
12 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add to egg mixture while mixing on low speed. Fold in chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Spread batter evenly into a 13" x 9" pan. (I suggest spraying lightly with cooking spray)
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares.
It's Week 6 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies. Halfway there. For more ideas, see what other bloggers are baking up with the blog hop below.
Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: When you want to bake homemade cookies but pressed for time, try making cookie bars. One pan and less work with all the delicious flavor of freshly baked cookies.

IT Not Trusted With Employees' Personal Data
CIOs might be deathly afraid of important corporate information getting into the wrong hands, but a new BYOD study from Aruba Networks indicates that CIOs should be concerned about their employees, many of who are concerned about the loss of their personal data but not the loss of company information. "The research from both sides of the Atlantic shows that employees and IT departments are gambling with data security, but chance isn't the only factor," says Aruba Networks Chief Marketing Officer Ben Gibson. "In short, employees resent the power their employers now wield over their personal data, but are equally unconcerned about keeping company data safe." So, where is that fear coming from? According to Aruba Networks, which surveyed more than 3,500 people around the world, it all comes back to BYOD and the fear among employees that whenever they connect to the corporate network, it's not malware creators that are spying on them, but their own IT department.
Getting Personal Despite the data loss and privacy concerns, 50% of employees worldwide will be bringing personal devices into the enterprise.

Smith's jumper beats Suns at buzzer
Without Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton, the New York Knicks still had enough to eke out a 99-97 victory in Phoenix, thanks to a pair of very late, very tough jumpers by J.R. Smith.
The first was a 15-foot, fadeaway shot from just inside the key to tie it with 10.6 seconds left, the second a 21-footer from the baseline at the buzzer.
"I don't know whatever words you want to use but he loves that moment," Knicks guard Jason Kidd said. "I'm trying to figure out if that last shot was tougher than the one before that he took."
The game-winner came on an inbound pass from Kidd after the Suns turned it over with a second to play.
"It was premeditated," Smith said. "I was walking around the court going, `You are going to make it, you are going to make it.' I was trying to get my form ready before I even thought about taking it. I was trying to go through my mechanics in my head, get my shoulders square to the basket and just let it fly."
Jared Dudley had a career-high 36 for Phoenix, including two free throws that put the Suns ahead 97-95 with 34.5 seconds to go.
New York was without the NBA's No. 2 scorer in Anthony (hyperextended knee) and Felton (finger), both hurt in the Christmas day loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles.
The Knicks said X-rays on Felton's right fifth finger revealed a fracture and the next course of action will be determined after his return to New York.
"We just have to go back and assess it and see where we are and go from there, but again, like I said, injuries occur," New York coach Mike Woodson said. "Key guys get banged up here and there and we have enough guys on our team that guys just got to step up and play until guys get back. That's how it's got to be."
The Suns lost Goran Dragic in the final seconds of the first half when he was undercut by Smith on a layup attempt and fell hard to the floor. Dragic had bruises to his hip, back and wrist. Smith was called for a flagrant foul on the play.
Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry knew there was no intent to injure on Smith's part.
"J.R., he's not that kind of player," Gentry said. "He plays hard and he competes like crazy. It was an accident. It was one of those things that happens."
Chris Copeland and Tyson Chandler added 14 points apiece for the Knicks.
Dudley, whose previous high was 33, was 11 of 17 shooting, 5 of 8 on 3s, and 9 of 9 at the foul line. Marcin Gortat added 13 points for the Suns, who lost their third in a row.
New York led 54-44 at the half and stretched it to 68-54 when Smith made a fadeaway, falling-down 19-footer with 7:13 left in the third. Dudley responded with a 3-pointer and the Suns were off on a 20-4 outburst.
Another 3 by Dudley tied it at 72 with 2:10 to go, and Shannon Brown, who made just one of his first seven shots, scored on a fast-break layup to put Phoenix ahead 74-72 with 1:23 left in the quarter.
It was knotted at 76 entering the fourth.
Dudley was fouled by Copeland on a 3-point try and made all three free throws to put Phoenix up 90-86 with 5:19 left, but Smith scored the next four, Kidd sank a 3 and Copeland made a 21-footer in a 9-0 spurt that had the Knicks up 95-90 with 3:34 left.
After a scoreless 1:28, Sebastian Telfair made a 3, then Brown sank a 20-footer to tie it at 95 with 1:15 remaining.
Smith missed a jumper from the top of the key 52 seconds from the finish and the Suns got the ball. Dudley was fouled on a drive to the hoop and made both free throws to make it 97-95.
But Smith, with P.J. Tucker all over him, sank a fadeaway from just outside the free throw line to tie.
Gentry called a 20-second timeout but the play broke down and, when Telfair tried to hit Gortat for a back-door layup, the ball was knocked back into the backcourt by Kidd. Telfair chased it down but wound up stepping out of bounds with a second on the clock.
After a timeout, Kidd tossed the pass to Smith, who got the shot off, again over Tucker, from just inside the 3-point line. It went in and he was mobbed by his teammates.
"It happened so fast and obviously you want to keep it for the last shot and live with that," Dudley said, "but you give them one second and J.R. with the big shot."
Notes: The Knicks complete their brief three-game trip west at Sacramento on Friday. … New York has lost two in a row only once this season. … Michael Beasley, a big part of the second-half surge, missed Sunday's home loss to the Clippers due to illness. … The 36 points were the most by a Suns player in two seasons. … Kidd also had eight assists and six rebounds. … New York also was without Rasheed Wallace with a sore left foot. …. It was the first time the team had been without Anthony and Felton in the same game. …. The Knicks are 3-2 without Anthony.

FORT COLLINS — Michael Gallup didn't come home with a trophy from Atlanta, but the Colorado State wideout earned major recognition Thursday in the process.
Gallup wasn't chosen as the Biletnikoff Award winner, given annually to the nation's top receiver, but his evening started out well, being named a first-team All-American by Walter Camp Football Foundation. It is one of five All-American teams recognized officially by the NCAA as well as the original one, and Gallup becomes the fourth Ram to be named by the organization, following Rashard Higgins (2014), Greg Myers (1995) and Mike Bell (1978).
"Not many people get to say they were an All-American," Gallup said. "That's just something that I wanted to do, wanted to try and get on that list, and I did it. I got one of my goals out of the way."
The CSU program can now tout eight first-team All-America picks, with Myers' seven selections leading the way. Bell had six, linebacker Kevin McLain and Higgins were named to three, with Harvey Achzinger and Fum McGraw one each.
Higgins became a consensus All-American back in 2014 when the was also named to the Football Writers Association of America and Associated Press teams. Those lists, as well as The Sporting News and the American Football Coaches Association, will be released in the coming days.
"That's an awesome accomplishment for Michael Gallup, being named a first-team All-American tonight," CSU coach Mike Bobo said. "I know it was something he was striving to be, to be considered one of the better receivers in the country. I know if you ask him, it would be something that he would tell you it's a team award. A lot of work went into it by him and his football team, and he did play outstanding for us.
"I think it's a great honor for him, I think it's a great honor for this program that you can play at a school like Colorado State and then still get the recognition and awards."
Gallup led the nation in catches of 10 yards or longer (56), and was fifth in the nation in receiving yards (1,345) and yards per game (112.1). His 94 catches ranked third, seven passes for scores. His season totals place him second in catches and yardage.

In two seasons at CSU, Gallup has 170 catches for 2,617 yards and 21 touchdowns, ranking fifth in catches and yardage, his scoring receptions tied for second.
"I feel like that kid's been working his whole life," teammate and fellow CSU wideout Bisi Johnson said. "He went through the juco process, and the juco process, from what Iv'e heard, it's not an easy thing. I love the kid to death, and I'm proud of what he's done, and it's great to see his accomplishments paying off."
Oklahoma State wideout James Washington won the Biletnikoff Award. Gallup was the second Ram to be a finalist for the honor, with Rashard Higgins back in 2014. Colorado State still has only one major trophy winner, with Myers taking home the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back in 1995.
It wasn't a complete haul for Gallup, but it was still a pretty good day.
"Obviously everybody wants to win any award they get up for, but it was just awesome for me to be here with all these great players and everything, meeting some famous people, legends," Gallup said.

Some classic cars are easily replaced when any of the components need to be changed. Mustang and Chevrolets are great examples and you can easily order the replacement part online or through a catalog.
Making the decision to purchase a classic car is certainly not one to be undertaken lightly, especially if it is your first time. Therefore, once you have deliberated long and hard and are certain that you want to own a vintage set of wheels, it is essential that you do the necessary research and end up with the perfect specimen for you. The first step is obviously to look into the types of classic automobiles that decipher and exist what your options are. Perhaps you already have an idea of your preferences and you almost certainly have a budget in mind! Searching the web can provide you with a wealth of information regarding the different vintage vehicles available and what you can expect from each model in terms of appearance, specifications, age and estimated price. An antique vehicle is a piece of engineering excellence and a work of art, but ultimately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and choosing the ideal motor is a very personal subject. Once you have gone through the tricky process of narrowing down your selection, it is time to track down appropriate cars that are on the market in. There are various ways of locating your desired wagon, but such items tend to be snapped up quickly, so if you find what you are after, it is wise to act fast and avoid disappointment. Although an abundance of classic vehicles are advertised for sale online, committing to a purchase before a proper viewing is very risky and should definitely be discouraged. The internet is undeniably a sensible place to start as it can lead you to little gems that you would never have landed upon any other way. Many classic car vendors are moving towards having an online presence as it can bring about swift sales. For a potential buyer, waiting to view the classifieds section of a printed classic motor magazine can be boring and long winded, whereas clicking a few buttons and browsing a few reputed sites brings about almost immediate results. As well as perusing an array of weekly and monthly motoring publications and trawling through multiple websites, visiting local dealerships is also an effective means of examining the market. Not only does this provide the opportunity to see the assortment of antique machines close-up and in the flesh, but it also allows you to speak to experts in the industry and gain some valuable advice. It may prove more fruitful to head over to a classic car auction or show if you're hoping to seek out a particularly rare motorcar. It is prudent to review the event and its exhibits prior to attending, so that you can guarantee a worthwhile trip. Asking other motoring enthusiasts or knowledgeable contacts is a sensible way of obtaining recommendations on the most appropriate meets to go to. Finding your ideal classic car may seem like a daunting task but as you can see, there are plenty of options out there and a plethora of resources at your fingertips to guarantee that you make a shrewd buying decision.
