Fresno State Football
Will Fresno State kick away from this guy Saturday?
Maybe it's time for Washington's opponents to consider avoiding Dante Pettis.
Rutgers made the mistake of kicking to him in the season-opener. Montana did the same Saturday. Both times, the star wide receiver and dynamic punt returner for No. 6 Washington found his way into the end zone.
"Coming into this year I didn't think I was going to get that many return opportunities," Pettis said. "Then after last game I was like 'I'm probably not going to get anymore.' Now after this game I'll probably be like, 'I'm not going to get anymore.' But people keep surprising me and kicking to me and I'm thankful for that."
What will Fresno State do? Tune in Saturday night when the Bulldogs play the Huskies in Seattle.
Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford didn't let onto strategy at his weekly coach's news conference, but called Pettis a "very dangerous guy."
Watch Jeff Tedford's Monday news conference
Pettis' 67-yard punt return touchdown in a 63-7 rout of Montana was the seventh of his career, giving him the Pac-12 career record. He's one shy of the NCAA record held by Wes Welker (Texas Tech) and Antonio Perkins (Oklahoma) with at least 10 games remaining in his college career.
Pettis' success as a returner can be attributed to a mix of speed and agility. He's not the fastest player on the field, but athletic enough that he also stars in the long jump for the Washington track and field team.
"Every time you're out there, at least I'm out there, I think I'm going to return it for a touchdown. Every time I think, 'This is about to be a touchdown right here,'" Pettis said. "Then it just depends on how the punter kicks it, if he kicks it high or short or a line drive. We know going into it generally how they're going to punt because we watch film on them and everything, so we know if they like to kick it to the boundary or whatever it is. So normally we have a good idea what is going on."
Fresno State has a weapon of its own in punter Blake Cusick, who is averaging 42.2 yards on nine punts. Three punts have gone inside the 20-yard line, two have been fair caught and three have gone 50-plus yards with a long of 66. Cusick averaged 38.3 yards per punt in 2016, when Fresno State ranked third in the Mountain West Conference allowing just 5.2 yards per return (with one TD).
Washington coach Chris Petersen specifically oversees the Huskies' special teams. While he was quick to praise Pettis' ability as a returner, he was just as concerned with the mistakes he saw from his punt return group.
"I'm much more into the subtle nuances of him catching balls that are tough to catch, they might even be a fair catch, they might be backed up in the red-zone area," Petersen said. "Other than Dante's touchdown I really wasn't too happy with what was going on back there. I thought we let the ball hit the ground way too much and so we've got work to do, including him. … Everyone likes the flash plays and that's great, they're game-changing plays, but there is a lot of subtleties in the hidden game of special teams."
After two years of prodding, Pettis received the OK from Petersen to participate in track and field last spring as a long jumper. Pettis competed in four meets and had a non-wind aided team-best jump of 24 feet 1 3/4 inches. He finished ninth in the Pac-12 championships.
"Long jump is a lot of control and explosiveness," Pettis said. "Obviously that carries over a lot to wide receiver. Jumping in the air you have to be able to control your body and get up in the air. There is a lot of things that carry over from that."
Like NFL success, predicted teammate Trey Adams: "He is really good and he's going to make a lot of money someday."

This weekend has been a long time coming. Pretty much everybody has been looking forward to a particular match up in the Shamrock Bowl Conference all year and, after it was postponed due to the weather, it has finally come around. Two IAFL-1 games add to the Bank Holiday football goodness!
|Who'll win? Trojans or Rebels? - photo by Ariane Boudias
SBC North
Dublin Rebels vs. Belfast Trojans
The one everyone has been waiting for. The last two Shamrock Bowl Champions. The two powers of the SBC North. A couple of weeks ago this game looked a little less mouth-watering as a 7-6 loss to the West Dublin Rhinos threatened to derail the Dublin Rebels' season but they got back on track with a 62-6 demolition of the Carrickfergus Knights.
|The Dublin Rebels will want to take some power back in the SBC North - photo by Ariane Boudias
Despite the Knights missing a few players, including number one quarterback Peter Loughran, the 62 points put on them was the highest amount of points scored in Irish football this year. But it was more than that. Before this game all of the Rebels' offensive touchdowns were scored along the ground but last week Andy Dehenny threw for three touchdowns. This will be important against the Trojans.
Belfast's defensive line will be a formidable opponent. A big part of Dublin's offence is the run game, Simon Mackey leads the entire SBC with 9 rushing touchdowns, and if the Trojans find a way of neutralising this then the Rebels will have to take to the air.
The Trojans will be favourites for this though, scoring an average of 48.3 points per game so far in the SBC. The Rebels have the second highest scoring average but trail with 27.5 points scored on average. On the other hand the Rebels have a superior defence, conceding just under 5 points per game compared to the Trojans' 8.6.
However the Trojans' winning margins have been so impressive. James Mckelvey has thrown double the amount of passing touchdowns of any other quarterback in the League this year, with less games under his belt. He has thrown scores to 4 different receivers, with David Richardson leading the receiving charts with 3 touchdowns.
|The reigning Irish champions will be a tough team to beat! - photo by Nathan James Sharrocks
But Belfast are solid along the ground too, with four backs on the scoring charts, with David Colvin scoring 6 across three games (he actually scored all 6 in his last two games). The Trojans can punish on special teams too, with Gary Carr and Alex Newton returning punts for scores this year, making Belfast the only team with ST scores.
This game and the rematch the week after are going to be epic battles. If you're going to watch any games live this year make sure it's these.
Drogheda Lightning vs. Waterford Wolves
The Wolves head to St. Olivers to take on the IAFL-1 leading Drogheda Lightning. With just a handful of games played in the new tier of Irish football the Lightning lead by a point but Waterford have played a game less.
|The Lightning lead the IAFL-1 but it's tight!
The away team's only game was two months ago and resulted in a tight victory over the North Kildare Reapers, with both scores in their 14-12 win coming along the ground from Eoin Reinhardt and Kevin Butler respectively.
Coach Kerley's team meanwhile beat new boys, the Mullingar Minotaurs, 20-6 whilst grabbing a 6-6 tie against the experienced Tullamore Phoenix. They've been led on offence by Dan Finnamore, with the quarterback scoring one along the ground and three through the air in their two games.
This game will be a battle with the home team probably going in as slight favourites but the Wolves are a well drilled team and are no pushovers.
Tullamore Phoenix vs. Dublin Dragons
A battle of two teams that were in the top division last year! The Phoenix welcome the Dublin Dragons on the back of a tight 8-6 loss against the North Kildare Reapers where a missed 2-pt attempt was the difference between the teams. Their only point in the IAFL-1 this year came from a 6-6 tie on the opening day of the season against the Lightning.
|The Dragons will be looking to go 2&0 but Tullamore stand in their way - photo by Ariane Boudias
The Dragons meanwhile have only played one game, beating the Meath Bulldogs 2-0 in a defensive battle of a game where a safety split the teams. Whilst that game may be a good judge of their strong defence, having stopped Coach Drake's well drilled offence from scoring, it wasn't a very good gauge of their offence.
This game should be a great one for the neutral and the fans alike with both teams vying to get into contention at the top of the IAFL-1.

(CBS News) Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will appear on "CBS This Morning" Wednesday.
McCain is the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and ran as the Republican presidential candidate against Barack Obama in the 2008 election. Recently, McCain has made headlines speaking out about what he called the "incompetence" of the Obama administration in dealing with the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Specifically, he called out administration officials for "gross, gross, outrageous statements" made in the days after the attack. In an interview addressing the event on CBS News' "Face the Nation," McCain called it "either a cover-up or the worst kind of incompetence."
Wednesday, as the Congressional hearings to determine what occurred in the Benghazi attacks convene for a third day, Senator McCain will speak with "CTM" co-hosts about the Benghazi fallout, the election, and the scandal currently unfolding around ex-CIA Director David Petraeus.
Be sure to tune in for his full interview, at 7-9 a.m. ET.

2018 M&A Market Outlook
February 28, 2018
My guest today is Bill Casey. Bill is the Vice Chair of the Transaction Advisory Services department of EY (Ernst & Young Global Limited.) He has been an employee of EY for 35 years and has seen many market changes come and go. Bill has an MBA and a background in audit, a solid career choice he believes for anybody wanting to get into the financial sector.
During today's show, we discuss the 2018 M&A Firepower Report. Bill shares some of the trends emerging in this year's report. We speculate what that could mean for the economy and how American tax reforms are affecting the trends. Bill also gives some foolproof advice for business owners thinking about selling in 2018. We cover the traits that are making companies attractive to buyers and how a seller can make their company more enticing in this current climate.
You will learn about:
- Bill's financial industry background.
- The M&A Report basic overview.
- How markets are blending their services to better serve the consumer.
- The benefits of embracing technology in business.
- How to create good synergy to attract a buyer.
- The role data analytics is playing in business planning.
- How to prepare for a seller's exit.
- The reasons sellers are selling to private equity firms.
- The 3 factors to consider during a sell, other than the price.
- Know what you want to accomplish with your sale.
- Why cash deals are becoming more common.
- How to build a great team to run your company.
- The main thing a seller should focus on when selling.
- How to align your team regarding the future of the company.
- Strategies a seller and a buyer can use to achieve alignment.
- Bill's advice to future sellers.
What are the key things you should do to prepare your company for acquisition? Bill Casey, with his 35 years at EY, says it all comes down to due diligence (or reverse due diligence). This isn't just your run-of-the-mill due diligence, however. You need to take a close look at your company's operations from both the tangible and intangible aspects.
Dual Merger and Acquisition Due Diligence
At this point in the game, every entrepreneur knows about due diligence—at least in terms of the financials. So before you think about selling your business, make sure your books are in order. You need to know them inside and out, including where your weaknesses are, liabilities, potential legal kerfuffles and the state of your assets before you pass the business on. No buyer wants to acquire a company that is riddled with unknowns or risks that could potentially impact the future earnings or cash flows of its acquisition.
But that's not where your due diligence should stop. You need to evaluate your intangible assets as well. Things like goodwill, customer/client retention, your employees and even your reputation and company culture all add (or detract!) from your business' value. Brand names have power and impact the market, just by reputation alone. Does your company do that? Do people vie for positions at your company when they come up because you are so well-known for a cool company culture or how you treat your employees? These and other intangibles impact your intrinsic value just as much as your tangible assets do.
Build the Value of Your Business by Building Up Your Intangibles
There is a lot you can do with tangible assets, and your financial team can help you sort out the various things you should focus on (past-due accounts, landing a few new clients, etc.). For the intangible assets, however, you may need to get creative. You'll need to focus on things like building up your company's social and cultural presence, reputation and vision. When you decide to sell, part of your due diligence will be to ensure that the things that make your company so special, and so valuable in its uniqueness, will carry their weight into the new arrangement.
This is why doing your due diligence before you start the sales process is vital. You'll need time to make things right or improve what you have to drive a better deal. Identifying the aspects of your company culture which drive the most value gives you even more chips at the negotiation table while allowing you to identify any potential counterpoints.
The thing with intangibles is: they often come down to fit. Do the intangibles (and their quality) of the acquirer and acquiree match up?
Is it the Business Buyer the Right Fit?
Knowing what you want out of a merger or acquisition is vital to the success of the transaction. You need to know if you want to stay on or get out completely, what you want to happen to your employees and the style of acquisition you're looking to see—do you want your company to carry on in a similar fashion as when you ran it, or does it matter to you if you get absorbed into another entity almost entirely?
The last thing you want is seller's remorse because you made the wrong deal. Once you know what you're looking for from your exit and in the company you eventually sell to, you can work diligently to get the result you want.
Find out the strengths and weaknesses of the acquiring company, particularly in terms of the cultural aspects and how they will impact your company. Integration is the hardest aspect of any merger or acquisition because there are so many elements to get right. The buyer may have a stronger culture in some areas and you may have some points in your favor in others. Figuring out which areas can complement each other can save you both a lot of headaches—particularly if you want to see something of your legacy live on.
The tricky part about this is putting it all together in your sales pitch.
Sell Your Company, Don't Just Sell it
Once upon a time, you were your company's strongest advocate. Maybe you still are? (That's a discussion for another time.) Either way, someone needs to be the salesperson that gets your company the best deal possible. This means that you need to really sell it, as they say. So how do you do that?
Take everything you learned in your dual due diligence—your strongest numbers, your brand's strength, etc. —and use this information to showcase your business and justify the price and terms of the deal.
Maybe you're not your own best salesperson. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. It's time to bring in some of your employees to speak to the quality of the company. After all, part of your success is because of the stellar team you've generated—and, if you have the A-team on your side, no company is going to risk losing them!
Either way, at some point, you'll need to include your management team in your plans. They'll need to know what is coming down the pipes so there are no shocks or surprises that make them do something rash. If you've taken care that your employees will be looked after once the sale is completed, they can help smooth the process over even more than you can. Let them help you make the sale and get the terms you want.
Use all your assets to secure the deal you deserve for the company you worked so hard to build.
- Bill really stressed the importance of due diligence. Be prepared to sell before you even find a buyer. Doing your homework will build a trust level and professionalism that will make any deal you come to that much smoother.
- Hire the right people for your team. Build a great company culture and you will attract high-quality buyers. Team members should be on the same page as you and be able to carry on the business in a way that would make you proud.
- Know what you want out of a business deal. If you want to stay involved in the company, make sure you know what that would entail for you. If you know what you want to do after the sale, it will make choosing the right buyer easier. You need to know what questions to ask.

"That's Darren's signal," Dr. Fleming told Lassiter. "Our new friend is somewhere just outside. All going well, he will give up and go home, and Darren can track him. Then we can pay him a visit. I hope he'll be in a talkative mood."
"Why doesn't Darren grab him here and save us a trip?" Lassiter asked.
"First, because the quarry will be on his guard here and thus will be harder to catch. Second, there may be items of interest wherever he's staying, and I'll want to examine them."
"And third, he may have friends who will be watching for him."
"Unlikely. I admit, however, that I'd like to know in advance whether he really is Edward Henry. That would tell me a lot—and puzzle me even more."
"Who is Edward Henry?"
"He was a weasel desperately trying to be a successful quack, armed with several unorthodox ideas and a perverse desire to turn them to his advantage. I always suspected his medical degree was a fake, which is why I never called him 'doctor.' I knew him briefly when I was making my first discoveries some years ago and a relative of one of his patients called me in to undo some damage. He left town in a hurry, and I didn't see him again for some years. I almost didn't recognize him when I did: he had undergone several physical changes, to say nothing of changing his name. But the changes hadn't gone nearly as far as they have since, and close scrutiny enabled me to identify him. He admitted the truth, though not happily, but I decided to let bygones be bygones, especially as he seemed to have reformed. He still had the same bizarre ideas, but he had somehow made them work—at least for himself. And he was beginning to have some undeniable success with some other people—cases no one else could cure."
"He sounds like Dr. Newman. Is that how you met him—through Henry?"
"In a manner of speaking," Dr. Fleming replied, turning away to gaze out the window into the gloom. "I mentioned a name change. When we met the second time, Edward Henry called himself Dr. Adam Newman."
Another ding.
"And that means Darren is ready for us to follow him and his quarry."

Reward in 1973 NJ missing persons case
Monmouth County Crime Stoppers and Wall Township PBA Local 234 recently announced, on the anniversary of the disappearance of Jan Andrea Cotta, that the agencies were offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the 41-year-old case.
Investigating Detective Sgt. Joseph Wilbert with the Wall Township Police Department said the 19-year-old woman disappeared from her property in the Allenwood section of the township in 1973.
Authorities are seeking a "person of interest" in the case. Wilbert said Eric Shore of New York knew the victim.
"We are attempting to locate him; he is not a suspect," said Wilbert, adding that Shore may have information about Jan Cotta from around the time of her disappearance.
Shore's girlfriend at the time was employed as a hairdresser in Deal.
The Cotta family went to police in 2004 seeking to have the case investigated further. Wilbert said since then, authorities have concluded nearly 300 interviews.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Monmouth County Crime Stoppers' confidential telephone tip line by calling 1-800-671-4400. Tips also can be texted to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword MONMOUTH, or emailed to monmouthcountycrimestoppers.com. In addition, information can be provided to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).

Processing Raw Image Files with a Canon Rebel T3 Series Camera
The Raw file format enables you to capture images you take with your Canon Rebel T3 or T3i as raw data. Although you can print Raw files immediately if you use Canon software, you can't take them to a photo lab for printing, share them online, or edit them in your photo software until you process them using a raw converter tool. You can do the job using Digital Photo Professional, the Canon software that shipped with your camera.
After downloading photos to your computer, follow these steps:
Open Digital Photo Professional, click the thumbnail of the image you want to process, and choose View→Edit in Edit Image Window.
Your photo appears inside an editing window. The exact appearance of the window may vary depending on your program settings. If you don't see the Tool palette on the right side of the window, choose View→Tool Palette to display it. (Other View menu options enable you to customize the window display.)
Adjust the image using controls in the Tool palette.
The Tool palette offers three tabs full of controls for adjusting photos. You can find complete details in the program's Help system, but here are some tips for using a couple of the critical options:
Raw tab: On this tab, you find controls for tweaking exposure, white balance, color, and sharpness.
RGB tab: From this tab, you adjust exposure further by using Tone Curve adjustment, a tool that may be familiar to you if you've done any advanced photo editing. You can make additional color and sharpness adjustments here as well, but make those changes using the controls on the Raw tab instead.
NR/Lens/ALO tab: On this tab, you find controls for softening image noise and correcting certain lens distortion problems.
At any time, you can revert the image to the original settings by choosing Adjustment→Revert to Shot Settings.
Choose File→Convert and Save.
Set the save options.
Here's the rundown of the critical options:
Save as type: Choose Exif-TIFF (8bit). This option saves your image in the TIFF file format, which preserves all image data. Don't choose the JPEG format; doing so is destructive to the photo because of the lossy compression that's applied.
Output Resolution: This option does not adjust the pixel count of an image, as you might imagine. It only sets the default output resolution to be used if you send the photo to a printer.
Embed ICC Profile in Image: On your camera, you can shoot in either the sRGB or Adobe RGB color space. Select this check box when saving your processed Raw file to include the color space data in the file.
Resize: Clear this check box so that your processed file contains all its original pixels.
Enter a filename, select the folder and browse where you want to store the image, and then click Save.
A progress box appears, letting you know that the conversion and file saving is going forward. Click the Exit button (Windows) or the Terminate button (Mac) to close the progress box when the process is complete.
Close the Edit window to return to the browser.
Close Digital Photo Professional.
Click Yes to store your raw-processing "recipe" with the Raw file.
The Raw settings you used are then kept with the original image so that you can create additional copies of the Raw file easily without having to make all your adjustments again.
Again, these steps give you only a basic overview of the process. If you regularly shoot in the Raw format, take the time to explore the Digital Photo Professional Help system so that you can take advantage of its other features.

Chapter 1
I do not own Inuyasha or any of its characters!
Chapter 1
Kagome walked out of the well house and made it to the house as she always had. Walking into the hallway to the living room she heard voices making her stop for a moment before she heard her mother's soft voice. Slowly she made her way into the living room fining her mother sitting with another older woman and a girl about seventeen.
"Oh Kagome, you're home." Mama said with a smile as she looked at Kagome's wounds and torn clothing.
"Oh my and what have you been doing?" The older woman asked looking at the condition Kagome was standing in.
"Kagome was with a few of her friends playing games. Are they alright dear?"
"Yeah, Shippo only had a few bumps, Sango and Miroku were beat up pretty bad but most of it was small, and Inuyasha... well you know him." Kagome smiled.
"Alright, why don't you go get cleaned up before dinner?" Mama asked and watched Kagome nod before walking up the stairs to her room.
"Aunt Akemi, where is your bathroom?" The girl asked standing up.
"It's up the stairs, the first door on the left." Mama said before she and the other woman began talking again. The girl walked up the stairs turning to the left noticing Kagome's door was cracked open allowing her to see. Kagome sat on her desk chair with her legs on the bed as she cleaned her wounds and started to bandage them.
"Why does he always have to be a jerk about things?" She mumbled. "He gets beat up so badly he can barely move and still tries to go after Naraku, and then he's so mean when I try to stop him. That will be the last time I worry about him..." She trailed off angrily. The doorbell rang scarring the girl who was spying and making Kagome grumble as she continued to dress wounds on her legs, arms, and torso. The girl turned and went back down the stairs figuring she wouldn't see much else as Kagome pulled her clothes out and was about to change.
"Kagome, remember we are going to the reunion in a few days." Mama said as Kagome walked into the living room to see several more relatives. "They are coming out early to stay before we all head to the reunion together." Kagome nodded as she looked around knowing many of the people.
'Aunt Asuka was here with Kimi, and I guess the rest just followed.' Kagome thought as she walked looked back at her mother.
"Mama, where's the first aid kit and the antiseptics? I want to make sure Miroku and Sango don't get infections."
"They are in the hall closet. Oh and before I forget, I have some poky and treats for Shippo."
"Treats?" Kagome asked to herself but was heard by her mother.
"Yes, I picked up his favorite poky, and some candy, and I got more crayons and coloring books for him."
"Who is this Shippo?" Asked a tall young woman who was about twenty years old.
"Shippo is a child Kagome goes to see with her friends, Rika." Mama said with a smile as Kagome gave a nod and quickly turned to gather what she needed. She walked to the well house and was stopped as she opened the door to the hidden well by a voice from behind her.
"Where you going?" Asked the feminine voice. Kagome turned around and found her older cousin standing there with a young man she had never met before.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked wondering how to get out of this.
"I thought you were going to your friends and that child, why are you going into the well house?" Kimi asked and watched Kagome's eyes go wide before she answered.
"First of all it's none of your business; secondly I don't have to explain anything to you." Kagome turned to walk into the well house hearing her cousin take a deep breath of air ready to yell when Kagome shut the door in her face and jumped into the well before Kimi could open the door and find her gone. Kagome found Sango with Shippo near Kaede's garden.
"Kagome!" Shippo called as Kagome smiled.
"I didn't think you would be coming back so soon." Sango said as she looked at the things Kagome was holding.
"I wanted to bring some things back for you guys. There's more bandages, and medicines there and my mom got more treats for Shippo." Kagome handed it all over to Sango and looked around. "Where's Miroku and Inuyasha?"
"Miroku is off in the village somewhere and Inuyasha wandered off soon after you left."
"Figures." Kagome said shaking her head. "Well I won't be able to come back for a few days, please keep an eye on Inuyasha. His wounds were pretty bad." Sango nodded before Kagome hugged Shippo and walked back to the well. Arriving back in her own time she climbed out of the well and heard her cousin speaking outside the door.
"Where could she have gone? We looked everywhere, Koukai." Kimi said.
"She can't have just disappeared." Koukai said as the two stood talking Kagome sighed not knowing what to do. Taking a deep breath, she decided that she would just walk out and go back into the house. Slowly she slid the door open making the two look at her and narrow their eyes.
"Where did you go? How did you disappear?" Kimi asked as Kagome only walked past them and continued into the house.
That night Kagome tossed and turned sleeping on the couch. As she turned and finally started to doze off a shrill scream filled the air making Kagome jump to her feet and run to her room where her two older cousins were sleeping. Making her way through her family members who were blocking the doorway, she found Inuyasha passed out on the floor bleeding heavily. Kagome ran to Inuyasha and pulled him onto her lap.
"Inuyasha... Inuyasha can you hear me?" Kagome said moving his hair out of his face noticing how hot he was. "Mom!" Kagome called only to see her mother run in with the emergency first aid kit. "Thanks." Kagome began taking Inuyasha's shirt off to look at the bloody bandages.
"Who is he?"
"Where did he come from?"
"What's going on?" Her relatives asked from the doorway as Kagome worked on fixing Inuyasha.
"At least he remembered to hide his ears." Kagome smiled softly as she continued to work only answering questions when she was done.
"We want answers, Akemi." Said a tall man.
"I'm very sorry about this. Inuyasha is... is..." Kagome glanced at the young man she had been traveling with for the last eight months. "His name is Inuyasha. When he gets hurt, he comes and finds me so I can fix him up. He knows where my room is and didn't know I wasn't in it."
"How did he get in?" Asked another man.
"He... he..." Kagome stumbled trying to think of an answer.
"He has an extra key." Akemi said making several look at her shocked. "Kagome why don't we take him into the living room and everyone can get some rest while you patch him back up?" Kagome nodded and looked at Inuyasha.
"I'm gonna need some help, he's actually pretty heavy." Kagome said as Sota ran in to help. Kagome, Sota and Akemi carried Inuyasha to the couch where Kagome had been sleeping while the others went back to their beds to rest. "Thanks, I'll be able to take care of it from here." Kagome told them before they left her to cover Inuyasha up and grab cool water and a rag for his forehead.
The next day Kagome still sat beside the couch looking at Inuyasha as his breathing became more labored and the sweat continued to soak his hair.
"He still in bad shape?" Her mother asked as she and a few others walked into the living room.
"I don't know what he got into this time but it really hurt him." She said low looking at Inuyasha. "Mom, he was bad when I left, but this... He was in another battle after I left." She said looking at her mother with tears in her eyes. Akemi nodded and looked at Inuyasha before looking at her worried daughter.
"Kagome, perhaps he came here not so much as to be patched up but to have someone he truly trusted look after him." Kagome thought for a moment and gave a nod. "I'm going to take the family out to eat for breakfast. I'm going to try to keep them out for most of the day." Kagome nodded as Kimi walked into the living room narrowing her eyes at Kagome before looking strangely at Inuyasha.
"Oh, good morning Kimi." Akemi smiled looking at her niece. "I'm sorry about last night."
"It's alright aunt Akemi. I understand." Akemi nodded and smiled at Kagome before leaving the living room to meet the others. Kagome looked up to see Kimi staring at her and Inuyasha.
"What do you want, Kimi?"
"Oh nothing. It's just that, he didn't come through the door. I remember him coming from the window even though there was no ladder or any way for him to get to the window." Kagome turned to glare at her cousin before the girl left laughing.
"Oh, Inuyasha, what happened to you?" She said softly grabbing his hand and watched him turn his head to the side as his brow furrowed.
"Ka-Kagome..." He whispered making her move closer to him. She ran her hand across his forehead and looked at him worried. "Ka-gome... no..." He said making Kagome curious as to what he was dreaming about. After a few minutes, she began to hear him speak again. "Don't... 'gome, don't... I...i... lo-..." He was cut off as his entire body trembled and he cried out in pain making several people run into the room. Kagome pulled the blanket down to see the blood soaked bandages tinted slightly purple making Kagome's eyes go wide.
"Sota!" She called making her brother move closer to her. "Sota I need you to get me the drawing salve, the antiseptic, towels, string, a needle, and plenty of bandages." Her brother gave a nod as she turned back to Inuyasha and started to take the dressings off as Sota returned with his mother.
"Kagome how can I help?" Sota asked.
"Mom, can you get everyone out? I need to get this poison out of his wound." Akemi nodded and went to clear the crowd as Kagome looked at her brother. "I need you to help me out okay. Can you hand me things?" He nodded and Kagome began cleaning off the wound before pouring antiseptic on the open wound that showed his gut. Quickly she stitched the wound closed and placed drawing salve over it and bandaged it. Suddenly she heard clapping from the doorway seeing a few family members who had staid and saw Kagome work.
"You seem practiced at this." Said an uncle as he walked over to look at the wound. "You would make a wonderful doctor."
"I've been told something like that before." Kagome smiled as Akemi came back into the room.
"'Gome..." They heard as Akemi pulled the last of the relatives out of the room and outside to leave for the day.
"Inuyasha, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." She said as she held his hand. After sitting for several more hours she started heard him trying to talk again. "Inuyasha, it's alright now."
"Gome, don't... leave... I..." He trailed off again.
"Inuyasha, please wake up, this is all really scaring me. You've never been hurt this bad. Please... please I love you; I don't want you to die." She cried letting her head fall to his shoulder as she gripped his hand. Inuyasha continued to turn his head, speak in his sleep repeating the same words over and over again as his fever continued to spike.
Kagome woke up to the slight movement making her head turn. Sitting up looking down she saw Inuyasha turn his head again, slowly she felt his forehead and felt it back to normal giving a revealed sigh and a small smile as she heard him call her name once again, but this time it was clearer as his eyes began to open.
"Kagome..." He whispered before trying to sit up only to have pain and Kagome hold him down.
"Don't get up; you're hurt really bad this time."
"What... what happened? How did I get here?" Kagome looked at him slightly confused as to why he did not remember.
"I don't know what happened to you, all I know is in the middle of the night you scarred my cousin when you fell in my bedroom. After all night and most of today you had a fever and weren't doing well. I was so afraid I would lose you." She said as tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"Ka... gome...I'm sorry." He said low. "Stop with the tears will ya." He said making her look at him sternly.
"What did you expect getting yourself nearly killed and worrying me like this?" She half yelled half cried at him making him look at her trying to think of a way to stop her from crying.
"I'm alive so stop crying already." He said making her glare at him before standing and storming out of the room leaving him alone. "What's her problem?" He asked laying his head back for a moment before following his feeling of needing to comfort her. Slowly he began to sit on the couch. Pushing the excruciating pain aside, he stood and started stumbling to the stairs, following the scent of her tears when his legs gave out making him fall on the stairs. Kagome ran from her room at the sound of the thud his body made and ran to him as he tried to get up again.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing? No, don't move just yet." She said looking at the wound on his gut seeing it begin to bleed slightly. She looked at the wounds running her fingers across his wounded body looking at each cut, scrape and bump to see if they were healing. What she never noticed was his honey colored eyes watching her softly as she looked everything over.
"Kagome, I'll be fine." He said making her roll her eyes before helping him to stand back up and walk him over to sit on the couch.
"Now I want you to stay here until I say." She told him leaving no room for discussion in her tone. He looked at her and nodded as she started to clean up the mess from the night before.
Inuyasha was sitting in the kitchen with Akemi when he looked around and started to growl softly. Suddenly he jumped to his feet and ran outside catching Kimi and Koukai kicking and punching Kagome. He shoved the girl away as he punched Koukai in the stomach making him fall trying to catch his breath again. Inuyasha knelt down, picking Kagome up gently to look at the blood on her face and clothing as tears slid down her face.
"It's alright now Kagome." He said softly as she grabbed his shirt and pulled herself closer to him as her mother ran out and the other two took off not being seen.
"What happened?"
"I caught two of those kids beating on her." He growled and stood up with her in his arms.
"Take her into my room; it has a bathroom attached to it. Get her cleaned up and I'll deal with the two who did this." Akemi said knowing who her daughter had had problems with in the past. Inuyasha nodded and took her into the house and to Akemi's room. He shut the door and laid her gently on the bed as more tears escaped her eyes that she refused to open. He walked into the bathroom getting several towels wet before returning to start cleaning of the blood from Kagome's face.
"Kagome, open your eyes." He said softly looking at her as she rolled her head to the side. "Please open your eyes, it's alright now." He said and watched her slowly open her eyes and look up at him seconds before she shot up and latched onto him, holding him tight as she cried. He sat shocked not knowing what to do before he slowly got her to lay back. "Why did they do this?"
"They... Kimi and a few others have always beaten on me. This time it was because of all the talk about how I fixed you're wounds and then when they tried to follow me into the well house and they couldn't find me, and about you." Inuyasha started to growl thinking of all the pain Kagome had been through. "It's just another reason I don't want to go to that stupid family reunion." She said letting another tear slide from her eye. She was surprised when Inuyasha wiped it away gently.
"Then don't go. I'm sure your mother will understand if you don't go, especially after this."
"No, it's not her; it's my grandmother and other relatives. I have to go." She sniffed taking a towel from Inuyasha and starting to wipe her face only to have Inuyasha take it back.
"Let me do it." He said and began to gently clean the blood from her face.
"Inuyasha, Kagome?" They heard as the door opened and Akemi walked in. "Kagome, they are hiding behind several others, I think it would be better if you stayed here."
"No, grandma and the others always want me to go, and..."
"Kagome... I know they have been picking on you for years but this... Kagome this it too far, I want you to stay home." Inuyasha saw the saddened look in Kagome's eye making him think.
"What if I went with you?" He asked making Kagome look at him as Akemi stopped, thinking about the idea.
"What about Sango, and Miroku, and Shippo and the Jewel?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha shook his head.
"We don't have any more leads to follow. Besides Sango and Miroku need to heal."
"I think it's settled then but we can't have you going as just a boy going with us." She said looked at the two as they looked at each other then back at her with wide eyes. "Well I'll leave it to you for the story." She smiled and walked out leaving the two to look at each other.
"Well..." Kagome said looking down thinking. "I guess she's right we can't just say the guy who comes to me in my room to get fixed up is going with us." Inuyasha looked at her nodding.
"Then what do I have to be?"
"Mom was hinting at a relationship." She said looking away with a slight blush thinking about what that would mean.
Inuyasha and Kagome walked out to the car loading up their luggage before the long trip to the beach where they were holding the family reunion this year. They still were nervous about having to play girlfriend and boyfriend but knew there was no other way to do it without getting major questions. The two stood by the sacred tree talking as Kimi and Koukai walked over with Rika, each with an evil look on their face.
"So you two are actually going out?" Asked Kimi making Kagome nod as she heard Inuyasha begin to growl softly.
"Why didn't you say that earlier when he came into the bedroom?" Koukai asked with a smirk.
"Because it's none of your business.
"Oh, well if you're going out you wouldn't mid putting our minds at ease and proving it, would you?" Rika asked making Kagome and Inuyasha look at each other. "Prove you're going out by kissing right now." They looked at each other for a moment. Inuyasha stood thinking that if he were going to protect her he was going to have to play along. Taking a deep breath he pulled her close and placed his lips on hers making the three glare before walking away. Slowly Inuyasha pulled back and looked down at Kagome who was looking up at him not really knowing what to say or think only wearing a bright red blush that matched his.
"I'm... "
"It's alright; we had to get them to leave us alone." She said looking away before walking over to the car as everyone piled into the three vehicles they were taking. Inuyasha stood staring after Kagome as he began to think of what he was thinking when he kissed her. Slowly he walked over and climbed into the van, sitting next to Kagome for the long drive.
After three hours, Kagome was getting tired. She started falling asleep against the window but found it very uncomfortable as she constantly moved trying to get comfortable. Suddenly she felt someone pull her away from the window making her look to see Inuyasha pulling her to lay on him with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Although feeling awkward she quickly fell into a deep sleep letting Inuyasha watch her as his thoughts went in circles.

Following the news that Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial has ended in a mistrial, Andrea Constand, who accused the legendary comedian of assaulting her, has issued a statement via her lawyers.
"We can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrity, but justice will come", said Gloria Allred, an attorney who represents many of Cosby's accusers. Cosby's legal team has now seen the prosecution's whole case and can home in on inconsistencies the second time around, they say.
Cosby said in that decade-old testimony that he had given Constand a non-prescription allergy medication, Benadryl, to relax her because she said she was stressed. "You're not off the hook, buddy", she said outside the courtroom. According to the AP, her case will go to trial in June 2018.
Cosby's accuser described in court how he gave her pills then sexually assaulted her as she lay paralysed on a couch, unable to tell him to stop.
Cosby has said any sexual activity was consensual.
He said Constand "has shown such courage through this".
Troiani acknowledged the difficulty of the case, given the passage of time and the impact of the alleged drugging on Constand's ability to recall details.
The jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on any of the three counts against the comedian, ending the trial without a verdict after a long week of deliberations.
Cosby's team immediately went on the attack. "Heinously and exploitatively ambitious", Camille Cosby said in the statement. And a federal judge dismissed a ninth accuser's case, finding her complaint inadequate.
District Attorney Kevin Steele spoke to reporters after the judge declared a mistrial Saturday. "Overtly arrogant in collaborating with the district attorney", said the statement.
Andrew Wyatt, Cosby's spokesperson, said that the trial's outcome had "restored" his client's legacy. Prosecutors rejected filing a case against Cosby based on Goins' allegations, which they said investigators could not corroborate. He also found success with his "Fat Albert" animated TV show and starred in commercials for Jell-O pudding.
As the Associated Press reported, seven women are suing Cosby for defamation in MA, where he maintains a home: Tamara Green; Linda Traitz; Louisa Moritz; Joan Tarshis; Angela Leslie; Barbara Bowman and Therese Serignese, the latter two of whom attended the criminal trial.
Under questioning from her lawyer, Cosby acknowledged that he had obtained several prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s for the goal of offering the powerful sedative to women he wanted to have sex with.
Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial ended in a mistrial late last night (June 16).
By Thursday morning, after almost 30 hours of discussions spanning three days, the jurors told O'Neill they were at a stalemate. The judge had instructed the jury to keep deliberating after it reported Thursday it was deadlocked on the charges against the comedian.
If the panel can't break the deadlock, the judge could declare a hung jury and a mistrial. Totally unethical. How do I describe many, but not all, general media? I felt his hand inside my vagina, moving in and out. It must come to a unanimous decision to convict or acquit. He said prosecutors would reevaluate the evidence and witnesses.
During breaks in the proceedings, Bill Cosby evidently appeared confident that his case would end in a mistrial.
In a recorded deposition, the TV star confessed to plying women with sedatives before having sex with them. The judge allowed only one other alleged victim testify against Cosby to help establish a pattern of behavior, even though prosecutors had hoped to include testimony from 13 other alleged victims. Steele said he and prosecutors Kristen Feden and M. Stewart Ryan "will evaluate and review" the case. Serignese and Bowman attended the criminal trial near Philadelphia. They asked a series of questions throughout the day, but on Saturday, shortly after they were to resume deliberations, it became clear that there would be no verdict.
Iran launches missiles into eastern Syria
It did not immediately offer other specifics, other than to say the missiles were launched from Iran. The Guard's website said it launched surface-to-surface medium-range missiles targeting the area.
Conte frustrated over Chelsea's slow transfer dealings
Chelsea are calm over the speculation, which they consider to be unfounded, and sources at the club say it is business as usual. Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois will be offered new deals on improved terms, though agreements have not yet been reached.
Sabres acquire defenseman Nathan Beaulieu from Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens have traded defenceman Nathan Beaulieu to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a third-round pick in 2017. Beaulieu makes sense for the Sabres, though, as he's a smart two-way player who can work on the man advantage.

I spent a part of my day working through this list of Mideast Tunes' Top 20 Indie Artists of 2014.
Curious, I visited their About: Our mission is to bridge barriers of faith and geography to unite people committed to fostering constructive discourse in the region through music. The core of the project manifested from our desire to promote bands and musicians that would otherwise never be given a second glance in the international scene. We feel that is because most people would never think to look to regions like the Middle East and North Africa for highly thought provoking music. The need to change that is our driving force.
We believe music can change the world and that the musicians of the Middle East and North Africa will lead the way.
Founded in 2010 in Bahrain, the site has expanded to serve as a primary resource for discovering up and coming Middle Eastern talents.
I found the following interviewe excerpt on NPR about Youssra and her music.
'For "Al Soor," Hawary borrowed the lyrics from one of her friends, the political cartoonist and author Waleed Taher: "In front of the wall/In front of those who built it/In front of those who made it high/Stood a poor man/Who peed/On the wall, and on those who built it and those who made it high." (Needless to say, a "good girl" doesn't sing about people eliminating — but Hawary does it with a wink and a smile.)
Taher had published them as part of one of his cartoons years ago, long before the Arab Spring — but Taher's meaning gained new resonance after a huge wall was erected in Cairo on Muhammad Mahmoud Street, which leads on one end to Tahrir Square and on the other towards the Egyptian Ministry of Interior.
So it was natural, if pretty daring, for Hawary to enlist a photographer friend to go shoot a DIY video for "Al Soor" in front of the Muhammad Mahmoud wall, which is now covered regularly with fresh work from a burgeoning group of graffiti artists.
In the video, Hawary is bathed in beautiful breaking morning light; the women shot the video shortly after dawn, mostly in hopes of not having their work shut down. But the giddy happenstances of this shoot done on the sly — the random guy who asks El Hawary to snap his picture, the kids dancing, the caretaker shooing everyone away at the end — just adds to the perfect, easy magic of "Al Soor."

The special stage was decorated with specially-designed cargo containers which gave a powerful feeling to the event, much like the latest Ferrari 812 Superfast. The impressive performance of the rock band harmonized well with the charm of the 812 Superfast, which heightened the electrifying atmosphere of the venue.
The highlight of the event was the dynamic appearance of the main character, the Ferrari 812 Superfast. The 812 Superfast appeared under intense lighting and flames with the heavy and sonorous exhaust sound of the new Ferrari 12-cylinder engine to exude a brilliant and elegant performance, while attracting over 300 people gathered at the venue. Customers attending the ceremony were able to see the new masterpiece of Ferrari's unique craftsmanship and technology, including the new aerodynamic design and sophisticated sculptural interior.
The CEO of FMK Co., Ltd Mr. Kim Kwang-chul said, "We are delighted to introduce the 812 Superfast, which emanates the charm of the Ferrari supercar with the strongest and fastest performance ever of its range cars. We would also like to thank the customers who have been waiting patiently for the debut of the 812 Superfast in Korea with high interest and the fans who love Ferrari.

Donor FAQs
What is Peninsula Food Runner's expectation from the donor?
If you are the contact person representing your account, please have a back up person in place and notify Peninsula food Runners of this temporary change. Your site may already be set up for automatic food run donations. Adding a temporary contact person who is aware of our service will ensure donations are picked up, our volunteer's experience goes smoothly, and the recipients receiving your generous food items.
Peninsula Food Runners are an organization that works collaboratively with Donors, Volunteers and Recipients.
If you choose to have regular food runs set up, please remember to cancel the food runs when there is no food, or when your are off site, or are close for the holidays. This will prevent unnecessary effort and waste of resources on the part of volunteers. You can also send a notification to email@example.com
Please be professional and kind with all the Volunteers. They are here to service you for free.
Should a situation arise that makes you uncomfortable, please send an email to email@example.com. or call (415)826-6903.
How does the service work?
The Donor creates a one time account on our website.
When the account has been validated, Donor can begin the donating food immediately via our web application or phone app called ChowMatch.
The Donor schedules a food pickup, they request the date and time for pickup. The moment the request is submitted, ChowMatch finds a recipient match and notifies our pool of Volunteers. The very same moment that a Volunteer is assigned, both Donor and Recipient are notified via email that a food donation will be picked up and delivered at the Donor's specified date and time.
The Logistics of Signing up as a donor
Please set up an account at www.peninsulafoodrunners.org. This is a one-time set up that would ask you a series of questions regarding your business and the donations.
Wait to get activated. This is the period of time we look for recipients close to your vicinity. Usually, the turn around is quick or else feel free to inquire at email@example.com.
Once you receive the activation email, access your account with your email and password and begin to schedule and donate.
Schedule all the food runs for the week ahead of time. This is a one time set up as well. Make sure you state that all these runs are " Regular Weekly Runs". This signals the software to automatically regenerate next week's food run. When you submit your request for each day, the emails go out to all the volunteers to invite them to support your account.
Please note that when you do not have any food to donate or would like to accumulate for the following day, you can cancel the present day food run. Make sure to state " "Cancel this time only" and not "cancel permanently". This will let the system to continue regenerating the food run for the following weeks.
General Instruction: Please include details that a volunteer would need. Parking or instructions a volunteer needs such as texting or confirming food availability.
Most importantly, please know a staff is available to assist. You can reach our program manager Liz at 650-996-2812 or PFR office number (415)826-6903 or Maria's cell# (415)203-8389.
What are the guidelines for scheduling a food pickup?
Please provide a minimum 2-hour window for " On-Call" or same day pick ups so that you can cast a wider net of volunteers to help.
For special week day or weekend events, please give at least a 2 day notice or call 415-826-6903 or send an email to email@example.com
A late Friday afternoon pick up requires a longer notice to be successful. We highly encourage all donors to donate as early as possible and best by no later than 2 pm on Fridays.
When scheduling a food pickup request, we ask that you provide as much details regarding the food donation (lbs, types, vehicle size, hours for pick up, who to contacts and parking instruction) and description of the prepared food that is being donated (i.e. Mexican, Chinese).
Note: If you already have a regular food run schedule, you have the ability to cancel your food run request at the moment when you realize that there isn't enough food to donate online from your account. (This is best done ASAP when you realize cannot feed more than 10 or about 30 minutes before the food run is to take place. You can also contact your volunteer whose information is available in your email confirmation. ) This will prevent unnecessary trip for the volunteers and both the Volunteer and the Recipient will get the notice of the cancellation. Thank you for abiding to this green practice of preventing further waste in human resource and C02 pollution from cars.
Is there a minimum or maximum food donation?
We ask that you have enough food to feed at least 10 people because most shelter starts at 10 and up.
If you have food that will feed fewer than 10 people, you can do a self drop-off at the following shelters.
We don't have an upper limit on the amount of food you can donate. Multiple vehicles can be requested for one food run. However, if you anticipate your food donation will require more than 1 car load, please indicate that when you schedule a food pick-up through ChowMatch web application. If this is done less than 48 hours, please call the Peninsula Food Runner at (415)826-6903 and always leave a message.
What is an "on-call" versus "regular" food run?
A regular food run is a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly food pick-up that occurs at the same time and usually by the same volunteer. A regular food run is usually automatically scheduled by the ChowMatch system.
An on-call run is a one-time pickup that can get filled by any of our Volunteers. On-call runs are usually scheduled the day of or anytime during the week.
What are your operating hours?
Monday-Friday for both on-call and regular runs. Weekends for regular runs and special events. Our normal working hours are 8:00 am-5:00 pm working in conjunction with shelter and affordable housing hours. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 415-826-6903 for special events which require weekend or after hours pickups.
How should the food be package for transportation?
It is important that all donated foods be packaged properly in sanitized food-safe containers provided by the Donor. If the caterer you are contracted with cannot provide you the containers, please consider bulk purchasing the trays from places like Costco and consider it as an expense for tax donations. Consult with your accountant regarding the tax write offs.
The food can be packaged in its original catering container or tray with either a foil or plastic cover that is taped up well. Serving spoons and tongs should be discarded and not be donated in the tray with the food. This unhygienic practice introduces contamination to the food.
When donating food with liquid, please drain the liquids from the solids (i.e. black beans liquid from the black bean). Additional Saran wrap to completely cover the pan will also prevent further leakage. Our volunteers use their own vehicle and they will thoroughly appreciate your gesture.
The consolidation of various foods into one pan would be best and more appealing for consumption if food is sectioned out versus all mixed in. Consolidation of similar groups of food such as carbohydrates with carbohydrates and vegetables with vegetables etc.
To abide with the EPA guideline regarding food donations, using sharpie to include the following information on the trays for donations. Company's name, Date of Donations and Time of Donation. Please refrigerate the food immediately after packaging while waiting for the runner to pick up the food. All food donations should be ready to go before the arrival of the Volunteer.
What are the food Safety handling information I should be aware of?
Often when we cook at home or eat in a restaurant, we have surplus. To ensure that surplus are safe to eat, make sure the food is cooked to a safe temperature and refrigerate the leftovers promptly. Not cooking food to a safe temperature and leaving food out at an unsafe temperature are the two main causes of food borne illness. Safe handling of surplus is very important to reducing food borne illness.
If food is stored at room temperature, food should be picked up within 2 hours after completion of service and consumed within 4 hours.
Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator or be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating. Cooling process and heating up process of food surplus to 165 degrees is equally important for food to be consumed safely.
Here are a couple examples of food donation scenario in order for food consumption to be safe: All assuming that hot food is serve in 2" deep trays which helps with the cooling down of the food.
Food is delivered by a caterer at 11:30 am in an insulated containers and kept hot. 12 pm, food taken out of insulated containers, and served until 1:30 pm. Surplus food is donated at 1:30 pm. The food has started the cool down process from 12 pm and put into the refrigerator at 1:30 pm. The volunteer picks up the food at 2:00 pm and delivers the food to the recipient by 2:30 pm. At this point, the food has be consumed within 4 hours of "room temperature" and in this case it has to be consumed by no later than 4:30 pm. By just keeping food in the refrigeration you can buy time for food to be delivered and safe for consumption. Nevertheless, we still always recommend food be heated up to 165 degrees before consumption.
Food is delivered by a driver of the restaurant at 11:30 am. 10 Trays of food is left on the kitchen counter. Food is served at 12 pm. 3 trays of food surplus is left untouched at 1:00 pm and lunch ends at 1:30 pm. The donor schedules a food run pick up at 1: 30pm- 2:30pm. At 1:30pm the donor still does not put the 3 trays of surplus food into the refrigeration. The food runner comes at 2 pm. The food has been at room temperature since 11:30pm. The food gets delivered by 2:30pm. The food has now been at room temperature for 3 hours. The recipient has to consume the food by 4pm or the food has to be heated up to 165 degrees to be consumed safely or discarded by 4pm. When in doubt, heat up the food to 165 degrees before consumption.
Potentially hazardous foods must be kept out of the danger zone (41°F - 135°F) for safety. Surplus food should be kept hot in insulated containers or cold in the refrigeration and both can be used to replenish food to feed employees during lunch.
Refrigerate the food immediately after serving while waiting for the runner to pick up the food.
Do you ever decline food donations? Are there any types of food that are not accepted?
We only accept all types of food that has been prepared in a commercial kitchen with all the stringent guidelines of food handling. You can do a self drop-off at the following shelters.
What areas do you service?
Peninsula Food Runners Organization services San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, which include these cities.
During the food pickup, how can I identify the Peninsula Food Runners volunteer?
Our volunteers may wear a Peninsula Food Runners t-shirt and/or Peninsula Food Runners name badge during food runs.
The confirmation email that the Donor receives provides the Volunteer's name and contact information.
Some companies have created a log-in sheet for the Food Runner Volunteers as a security to keep track who is coming in and out of your premises.
Will the Volunteer bring a cart?
We highly encourage the Donor to invest in a cart. This will ensure the safety of Volunteers while transporting the Donor's food on the Donor premises. This is most critical when food is not located on the street level. (https://www.uline.com/BL_1604/Rubbermaid-Service-Cart-Bins).
Does the Volunteer need help loading the food?
Most Volunteers will not ask for help unless the load is more than they can carry. The food cart will come in handy here.
What happens when a Donor schedules a request but no Volunteer food runner signs up for the run?
Our pool of Volunteers are pretty good about picking up food runs (95% rate), but there are times when we cannot find a Volunteer to pick up the food. Our non-profit organization currently relies 100% on our Volunteers to do our food runs. (This is one of the reason why we highly encourage that food be refrigerated immediately after the meal time has ended)
If this happens, we ask that you store the food overnight in a refrigerator and re-schedule a new run for the following morning or until the next meal donation.
An address to a local shelter is provided which will allow your employees the opportunity to drop-off the food on their way home. following shelters.
Many corporations encourage their employees to Volunteer for local charities in the communities.
Please consider signing up with Peninsula Food Runners' (PFR) employee program. PFR will help Donor track all donor's employees activities and will provide impact reports of their employees in the communities. ( This includes employee hours, provide the food runs, track the impact food rescued and service hours given back to the various shelters). Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Can you guarantee a food run pick up?
If you would like a guaranteed food run, please call (415)826-6903.
What is consider donating in "Good Faith" Here are some examples in a Yes or No scenarios.
Yes to donating food to feed more than 10 people. Any less can be refrigerated for following day pick up
Yes to whole fruits with blemishes. We love "Uuugly" fruits! :)
No to food donations stored in refrigeration more than 2 days and definitely "NO" to food that has accumulated through the week and donated in order to clean out the refrigeration. This is consider not giving in good faith.
No to food request runs for pick up that only consist of 1-2 tray of rice or bags of pita breads. These can be donated with the following day's food donations. This is also true for condiments.
Yes to expired drinks, snacks, protein bars because the past due date merely states the freshness and not the quality of the food. Once again, best donated along with the actual surplus meals.
Is there a cost for this service?
In 2019, we plan to implement a nominal fee for guaranteed service.
Until now, we have relied 100% on Volunteers at every level of the organization. That includes our founders and staff who developed and maintain the web & mobile application, solicit donors, recruit volunteers, and reach out to shelters, as well as our wonderful Volunteers who pick up food donations and deliver it to shelters and neighborhood feeding programs.
But because of the PFR's rate of growth, we welcome any assistance in skills to help keep the organization running and sustainable. We are committed to remaining a mostly volunteer organization, and keeping our overhead as low as possible.
We also rely on financial contributions, fundraisers, and grants to help offset operating costs. Click here if you'd like to make a financial donation.

Nicky Bell Registered MBACP
About me
Counselling for Women.
I feel very strongly about supporting women through the challenges life can bring, be it bereavement, separation, relationships, crisis, transition or menopausal issues.
These challenges can bring anxiety, depression, grief, isolation and other deeply uncomfortable feelings. I create a supportive, confidential environment fostering an inquiry into a deeper understanding of oneself and ones experiences, offering the potential to make sense of the uncomfortable feelings as well as unravelling old patterns that may no longer serve.
I work with women of all ages and have worked closely with a lot of teenage girls who find themselves struggling with the pressures of growing up, many suffering from anxiety and depression and all that brings for them. I have also had the privilege of working closely with The Green Funeral Company supporting many through the process of immense grief. I have been deeply inspired whilst working with women through the menopause, a time in a womans life that can often cause ripples and sometimes waves in all areas of life. This amount of change can benefit immensely from emotion support and a deeper inquiry into self awareness.
I feel that women need other womens support and understanding in times of distress and transition.
My training is in Integrative Counselling which puts the client in the centre pulling on a wealth of therapeutic knowledge, practices and skills. I work creatively, by this I mean I stay open the individuals way of expressing themselves whilst meeting their unique therapeutic and emotional needs.
My enquiry into supporting women is constantly enriched by having a daughter myself. As well as the counselling training I have journeyed deeply with, and supported, groups of women exploring feminine archetypes and their distortions.
I have a private practice in Totnes.

BOSTON, Mass. – Sophomore Kayla Almstrom (Auburn, Mass.) scored with 7:48 remaining in the second overtime to life the Framingham State women's soccer team to a 3-2 victory over Wentworth Institute of Technology in non-conference action Wednesday night at Sweeney Field.
With the win the Rams snap a six-game losing streak and improve to 4-8-0 on the season. The Leopards see both their five-game win streak and six-game unbeaten streak snapped, falling to 9-3-2 on the season.
Framingham State wasted little time getting on the board, scoring just 27 seconds into the contest. Senior Michaela Hyland (East Longmeadow, Mass.) took advantage of a Wentworth turnover and put home a shot from the left center of the top of the box.
The Rams continued to pressure and increased their lead to 2-0 at the 18:54 mark. Sophomore Hannah Kane (North Attleboro, Mass.) took a direct kick which was initially saved by sophomore Christie Fleming (Braintree, Mass.). However, Fleming could not control the ball and senior Angela Pallotta (Sterling, Mass.) tapped the ball in.
At the 26:12 mark, Wentworth got on the board on a goal from freshman Sidney Brogan (Los Angeles, Calif.). Senior Mykaela Scarpace (Marlborough, Conn.) sent a ball from the left side to Brogan, whose shot from the center of the box hit the crossbar and came down and over the line. Shots were even at 6-all through the first half.
Both teams would have chances in the second half, including when a Framingham State shot hit the crossbar in the 47th minute. Wentworth appeared to have tied the game in the 83rd minute, however the goal was negated due to an offside call.
With 3:27 left in regulation, the Leopards evened the game at 2-all on a sophomore Madyson Reno (Simi Valley, Calif.) goal. Senior Mary Annon (Concord, N.H.) sent a corner kick in from the right. Reno came up to play the ball and fired a shot past sophomore Keyonzia Gagne-Lamoureux (East Brookfield, Mass.).
In the first overtime, Wentworth had a pair of chances early as Reno put a shot on net and senior Amanda Weinberger (Colchester, Conn.) had a bid from in front which went over the top of the net. The Leopards nearly won the game in the 98th minute, however were called for being offside on the play.
Framingham State opened the second overtime with a shot which was cleared out at the last second by a Leopard back line defender. At 102:12, the Rams got the golden goal when freshman Jill Smith (Weymouth, Mass.) sent a pass in from the right side. Almstrom one-timed it inside the right post from the top of the box.
Gagne-Lamoureux made 10 saves for Framingham State while Fleming made five stops for Wentworth. The Leopards had advantages in shots (21-15) and corner kicks (2-1).
Both teams are in action on Saturday as Wentworth is at Gordon and Framingham State is at Salem State.
