Honour Box: "do something bad so we can do something good"
28 Dec, 2012, 08:00 GMT
WOKING, England, December 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
2013 is upon us! Time to be good and try a few New Year's resolutions. What will it be this year; lose weight, quit smoking and swearing or stop drinking?
A new year resolution is a great way to stop something you feel bad about but studies show that only around 10% people are successful and 25% of people give up on their goal in the first week! The best way to give up is to set a goal and create a reward. So why not use an Honour Box this year?
Honour box is here to help you and others. Honourbox.co.uk is a digital "honour box" that you can use on your phone or computer.
Once you have agreed your resolutions, we post them to Facebook to get others to encourage you to keep them. You break one of your resolutions and automatically donate to an educational charity in the UK or abroad.
We would all agree that education is a huge part of our lives but sadly, many miss out on a good education. This often leads to problems later in life. We aim to help prevent this happening.
Honour box is a non-profit company founded by Stuart Eggleton, who is himself dyslexic. Stuart experienced early problems with speech and later reading and writing, eventually being diagnosed with severe dyslexia when he was nine years old. Given the opportunity to go to a specialist school helped with his dyslexia.
Stuart went on to do his degree at the London College of Fashion and achieved a first. Since then he has run his own business. Now he wants to give other people the same opportunities he had.
Use Honor Box to stop something you hate and help you and others achieve your goals.

The adoption agency Catholic Care has lost its five year fight to reserve its services for heterosexual couples only, in a landmark court ruling.
The adoption agency based in Leeds, had taken its case to the Upper Tribunal in order to win the right to maintain charitable status while being permitted to refuse to place children with same-sex couples, in accordance with the charity's Catholic ethos.
However, they were defeated today as the Charity Commission argued that the charity's stance is "divisive, capricious and arbitrary" and undermined the dignity of homosexual couples whose parenting abilities are "beyond question".
The tribunal concluded that Catholic Care had failed to come up with "weighty and convincing reasons" as to why the agency should be allowed to discriminate against gay couples who were trying to access their services.
Emma Dixon, who was representing the Charity Commission, told tribunal judge, Mr Justic Sales, that Catholic Care's desried arrangement would violate Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which outlaws discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and other characteristics. She said: "A requirement to operate within the tenets of the Church cannot constitute Article 14 justification.
"To do so would be to offer protection to the substance of the Church's belief that homosexuality is sinful.
"To do so would not only be divisive, capricious and arbitrary, it would be excluding from assessment couples whose personal qualities and aptitude for child-rearing are beyond question."
She added: "There is, as the charity now accepts, no basis whatsoever for calling into question the skills and abilities of same-sex couples as adoptive parents, including as parents of 'hard to place' children…it is not necessary to exclude same-sex couples in order to find suitable and loving adoptive parents for children.
"Indeed, the reverse is true. To excluse from assessment same-sex couple's whose personal qualities and aptitude for child rearing are beyond question would be to allow considerations favouring marriage to prevail over the best interests of the chlid, which would be neither objectively justified nor proportionate."
But Monica Carss-Frisk QC, who represented Catholic Care, argued that the Commission's focus put the needs of children second and said it was "tantamount to putting the interests of the helper before those of the helpless."

This story originally appeared in the July/August print edition of Food Manufacturing.
Growth can be stressful for food manufacturers. Particularly for artisan producers with traditional processes that can be hundreds of years old. But Cypress Grove Chevre in Arcata, Calif., anxiously awaits its upcoming expansion. The footprint of the specialty goat cheesemaker's facility will nearly double, thanks to an investment from its new owner. And the new space? It's connected to their current building. It's anomaly in the stressful acquisition trend, but Cypress Grove Chevre has absolutely nothing but praises for its parent company.
In the 1970s, Mary Keehn built the foundation of Cypress Grove Chevre with her own two hands. First, they were offering food to a semi-feral goat on her neighbor's land in Humboldt County. The single mother simply wanted fresh milk for her four daughters. But she ended up a goat breeder with an oversupply of milk. A stint in regional cheese sales and a trip to Europe later, and Cypress Grove Chevre was born in 1983. The company's signature cheese, Humboldt Fog, consists of two layers of chevre, each coated in vegetable ash per French custom. Named after a local daily weather occurrence, Humboldt Fog is one of 13 Cypress Grove Chevre cheeses and 13 SKUs distributed in 50 states and Southern Canada. Two aged cheeses, Goudas to be exact, are produced by the new parent company. One is made from goat's milk and the other from sheep's.
In 2010, after 27 years in the business, Keehn sold to Swiss cheesemaker Emmi. Now, Cypress Grove Chevre's new creamery nears completion. The company also boasts a 32-acre, 550-goat dairy which supplies a portion of Cypress Grove Chevre's primary ingredient.
The market for specialty cheeses like goat cheese has grown noticeably in the last decade. Total U.S. retail sales of natural and specialty cheeses were $15.7 billion in 2013, according to Packaged Facts. The new facility will help Cypress Grove up their supply in response.
"We have a plant that is currently operating over capacity and have an opportunity to meet market demand," said David Estes, operations director at Cypress Grove Chevre. "Emmi has provided us with the capital and expertise to meet this demand and at the same time up our game in terms of food quality and safety with improved infrastructure and manufacturing systems."
"[Emmi] very much treat[s] us as an autonomous brand and take[s] a hands-off approach to managing the business," said Janne Rasmussen, marketing manager at Cypress Grove Chevre. No staff changes were made among the company's 50 employees when it was bought.
The new addition will bump the facility's footprint from 14,000 feet to 27,000. The Cypress Grove Chevre creamery, nestled in a residential area of the bohemian town Arcata, was built in 2004.
The property contains two barns that were once part of a cow dairy, the only source of milk in the area in the early 1900s. Cypress Grove Chevre restored the surrounding land and got permission from the city to build on the condition that the architecture stayed true to the agricultural setting of the parcel. Before 2004, Cypress Grove Chevre operated in nearby McKinleyville, where the dairy is now located.
The New Digs
From the beginning of the cheese-making process to the final steps, Cypress Grove Chevre's new facility will allow for more precision in production and consistency.
"We did want to ease into the future. It's a 10-year plant," Estes said. "Moving in is going to be half of the challenge."
The new plant has three main sections: a raw milk plant, fresh cheese production and aged cheese production. Multiple hygiene rooms separate areas that hold different types of cheeses to avoid cross-contamination from different cheese making spores associated with each type of cheese. The raw zone is completely separated from the rest of the plant and even has a separate entrance.
Expanded Capacity
The new facility will accept milk deliveries from conventional 6,000-gallon trucks, an upgrade from the current 3,000-gallon capacity. From the truck, milk will be pumped into the milk silo before pasteurization. The HTST pasteurizer uses less water and energy and offers much more control than the currently used pasteurization method. Preparing goat milk for cheese production is a slow process compared to typical large-scale cheese manufacturing. It takes more than 36 hours to go from pasteurized milk to fresh cheese that is ready to be packaged. For soft ripened cheeses, the process takes an additional 17 days before packaging. The new method and capacity will allow for a 250 percent output increase for both types of cheeses.
Cypress Grove Chevre's dairy is experimenting with out-of-season breeding as goat milk is in limited supply. Goat cheese is a highly seasonal product. Though June is the peak of milk production,the cheese is most heavily consumed from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
Food Safety
Food safety measures are embedded in the infrastructure of Cypress Grove Chevre. The process rooms in the new facility are essentially their own buildings within the exterior building and allow for stringent environmental controls. Utilities are housed in the attic space and routed directly down to the point of use so utilities materials within the production areas are minimized. Corner mount lighting fixtures minimize the potential for cross-contamination from ceiling condensation. A building management system carefully balances the pressure differentials rooms to minimize the potential of airborne contaminants to infiltrate the most sensitive process rooms. The entire plant is built for regular wash down, but will be operated as a "dry" plant during operation.
Quality Control
More precise temperature and humidity controls in production areas will avoid product loss, improve product consistency and extend cheese shelf life. The European-style curd press, which separates the whey from the curd, will allow for much more exact moisture levels in the early stages of the cheesemaking process. For the soft-ripened cheeses, a new drying room and ripening caves will allow for more controlled ripening environments and will translate into a more consistent finished product.
"We will be able to more precisely dial in every step of our cheesemaking process and will ultimately result in a better product to the final consumer," Estes said. "With a little packaging innovation here and there, we may be able to extend shelf life."
The fresh cheese has a shelf life of at least 12 weeks, while aged cheese has a shelf life of 6-8 weeks uncut.
Cypress Grove Chevre's artisan practices will remain unchanged in its new facility. Soft, aged cheeses like Humboldt Fog, are turned, packaged and wrapped by hand. Some varieties are even hand-labeled. In fresh cheese production, herbs, like lavender, dill and chili threads, are hand-sprinkled for flavor, aesthetics and taste.
Estes is allotting a realistic amount of time for production trials before processing is fully converted to the new facility. After all, it takes time to get things just right in a new home. Mid-August is realistic for starting the transition, he said.
"It could be months before we're fully dialed in and satisfied with our trials," he said. "Quality is everything."
With a new owner, Cypress Grove Chevre is getting ready for the future by investing in a new facility. As part of a new family in a stable specialty market, the cheesemaker is upping its game for the longer term with innovative technology in the food-safety savvy facility, securing even more longevity in the specialty cheese market.

Delvin Rodriguez Wins Unanimous Decision Over Wolak in Rematch at MSG…WOODS
If Delvin Rodriguez and Pawel Wolak consent to it, I don't think fight fans will refuse a third match between the two battlers. Their July fight was a draw, and tonight at MSG, Rodriguez, the cleaner, harder puncher, took the rematch.
The judges saw it 98-91, 98-92, 100-90 for the Connecticut boxer, in this junior middleweight scrap.
De and Wolak were in each others' face from the start. Wolak landed a sharp right upper, and seemed sharper on this night than in their first tangle, early on, in round two. That July night, Wolak's punches didn't have the same snap. But then Rod had a real solid round, in the third. His right hand, underneath and over the top, was landing.
In the fourth, Del was landing clean shots and Pawel grinned but he felt them. In the fifth, the Polish born fighter was again staionary, too easy to find. He rarely moved his feet more than a few inches, and Del was confident that he'd not get hurt, so he stood his ground and launched.
In the sixth, Del moved more to start then settled back to being flat footed. Not in a bad way, he landed right crosses and left hooks to the body and won the round. Then he started backing up too much in the seventh. Were body shots and pressure getting to him?
Rod was the busier man in the eighth. He looked kind of beat but still hurled. Wolak had a better ninth. A three punch combo for Del looked sharp in the tenth. He then hammered Wolak for the rest of the round and nearly had him out. We'd go to the cards.
2015 Fight of the Year – Francisco Vargas vs Takashi Miura
The WBC World Super Featherweight title bout between Francisco Vargas and Takashi Miura came on one of the biggest boxing stages of 2015, as the bout served as the HBO pay-per-view's co-main event on November 21st, in support of Miguel Cotto vs Saul Alvarez.
Miura entered the fight with a (29-2-2) record and he was making the fifth defense of his world title, while Vargas entered the fight with an undefeated mark of (22-0-1) in what was his first world title fight. Both men had a reputation for all-out fighting, with Miura especially earning high praise for his title defense in Mexico where he defeated Sergio Thompson in a fiercely contested battle.
The fight started out hotly contested, and the intensity never let up. Vargas seemed to win the first two rounds, but by the fourth round, Miura seemed to pull ahead, scoring a knock-down and fighting with a lot of confidence. After brawling the first four rounds, Miura appeared to settle into a more technical approach. Rounds 5 and 6 saw the pendulum swing back towards Vargas, as he withstood Miura's rush to open the fifth round and the sixth round saw both men exchanging hard punches.
The big swinging continued, and though Vargas likely edged Miura in rounds 5 and 6, Vargas' face was cut in at least two spots and Miura started to assert himself again in rounds 7 and 8. Miura was beginning to grow in confidence while it appeared that Vargas was beginning to slow down, and Miura appeared to hurt Vargas at the end of the 8th round.
Vargas turned the tide again at the start of the ninth round, scoring a knock down with an uppercut and a straight right hand that took Miura's legs and sent him to the canvas. Purely on instinct, Miura got back up and continued to fight, but Vargas was landing frequently and with force. Referee Tony Weeks stepped in to stop the fight at the halfway point of round 9 as Miura was sustaining a barrage of punches.
Miura still had a minute and a half to survive if he was going to get out of the round, and it was clear that he was not going to stop fighting.
A back and forth battle of wills between two world championship level fighters, Takashi Miura versus "El Bandido" Vargas wins the 2015 Fight of the Year.
Jan 9 in Germany – Feigenbutz and De Carolis To Settle Score
This coming Saturday, January 9th, the stage is set at the Baden Arena in Offenburg, Germany for a re-match between Vincent Feigenbutz and Giovanni De Carolis. The highly anticipated re-match is set to air on SAT.1 in Germany, and Feigenbutz will once again be defending his GBU and interim WBA World titles at Super Middleweight.
The first meeting between the two was less than three months ago, on October 17th and that meeting saw Feigenbutz controversially edge De Carolis on the judge's cards by scores of (115-113, 114-113 and 115-113). De Carolis scored a flash knock down in the opening round, and he appeared to outbox Feigenbutz in the early going, but the 20 year old German champion came on in the later rounds.
The first bout is described as one of the most crowd-pleasing bouts of the year in Germany, and De Carolis and many observers felt that the Italian had done enough to win.
De Carolis told German language website RAN.DE that he was more prepared for the re-match, and that due to the arrogance Feigenbutz displayed in the aftermath of the first fight, he was confident that he had won over some of the audience. Though De Carolis fell short of predicting victory, he promised a re-vamped strategy tailored to what he has learned about Feigenbutz, whom he termed immature and inexperienced.
The stage is set for Feigenbutz vs De Carolis 2, this Saturday January 9th in Offenburg, Germany. If you can get to the live event do it, if not you have SAT.1 in Germany airing the fights, and The Boxing Channel right back here for full results.
2015 Knock Out of the Year – Saul Alvarez KO's James Kirkland
On May 9th of 2015, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez delivered a resonant knock-out of James Kirkland on HBO that wins the 2015 KO of the Year.
The knock-out itself came in the third round, after slightly more than two minutes of action. The end came when Alvarez delivered a single, big right hand that caught Kirkland on the jaw and left him flat on his back after spinning to the canvas.Alvarez was clearly the big star heading into the fight. The fight was telecast by HBO for free just one week after the controversial and disappointing Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao fight, and Alvarez was under pressure to deliver the type of finish that people were going to talk about. Kirkland was happy to oblige Alvarez, taking it right to Alvarez from the start. Kirkland's aggression saw him appear to land blows that troubled the young Mexican in the early going. Alvarez played good defense, and he floored Kirkland in the first round, displaying his power and his technique in knocking down an aggressive opponent.
However, Kirkland kept coming at Alvarez and the fight entered the third round with both men working hard and the feeling that the fight would not go the distance. Kirkland continued to move forward, keeping "Canelo" against the ropes and scoring points with a barrage of punches while looking for an opening.
At around the two minute mark, Alvarez landed an uppercut that sent Kirkland to the canvas again. Kirkland got up, but it was clear that he did not have his legs under him. Kirkland was going to try to survive the round, but Alvarez had an opportunity to close out the fight. The question was would he take it?
Alvarez closed in on Kirkland, putting his opponent's back to the ropes. Kirkland was hurt, but he was still dangerous, pawing with punches and loading up for one big shot.
But it was the big shot "Canelo" threw that ended the night. Kirkland never saw it coming, as he was loading up with a huge right hand of his own. The right Alvarez threw cracked Kirkland in the jaw, and his eyes went blank. His big right hand whizzed harmlessly over the head of a ducking Alvarez, providing the momentum for the spin that left Kirkland prone on the canvas.
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez went on to defeat Miguel Cotto in his second fight of 2015 and he is clearly one of boxing's biggest stars heading into 2016. On May 9th Alvarez added another reel to his highlight film when he knocked out James Kirkland with the 2015 "Knock Out of the Year".

ALLIANCE, Ohio -- No. 1 ranked Mount Union survived a second half rally and scored the go ahead touchdown with 4:17 left in the game to beat No. 19 ranked Franklin, 30-27 in the season opener at Mount Union Stadium in Alliance.
It was the 26th straight season opening victory for the Purple Raiders but first for new head coach Vince Kehres, who took over after his father Larry stepped down in May after 27 seasons on the job.
Mount Union also extended win streaks with its 74th straight regular season win and 68th straight home victory.
Junior quarterback Kevin Burke (Westlake/Lakewood St. Edward) led the Purple Raider offense with 266 yards passing and 72 yards rushing on nine carries. Burke tossed a touchdown pass to Jack Nicholls (Galion/Galion) as the senior had a career-high 109 yards receiving on eight receptions.
Franklin quarterback Jonny West threw two touchdown passes on 203 yards passing while Zach Cole had 72 yards receiving and Grant Welp rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries.
Mount Union had a 20-0 halftime lead as the Purple Raiders scored on a 38-yard interception return from Joshua Scott (Hamilton/Fairfield), a failed two-point conversion, a one-yard touchdown run from Germany Woods (Cleveland/Lakewood St. Edward) and a Nicholls five-yard touchdown catch from Burke.
A Mount Union turnover to start the second half gave Franklin the ball inside the Purple Raider 10-yard line. Three plays later, the Grizzlies scored on a Joey Pasquale two-yard touchdown run to make the score 20-7.
On the ensuing drive, the Raiders would drive 78 yards on 12 plays but had to settle for an 18-yard Edward Ruhnke (Bayville, N.J./Central Regional).
Franklin would then score 21 unanswered points on as Cole and West would hook up on a 15-yard touchdown pass, West would hit Jonny Hession from 34 yards out and a Sam Otley one-yard run with seven minutes to play that gave the Grizzlies their first lead of the game, 27-23.
Burke then engineered a 7-play, 79-yard drive that included a 31-yard scamper from him and a 22-yard completion to Sherman Wilkinson (Kettering/Fairmont) to get the ball to the Franklin one-yard line. Mason Minnich (Greenwich/Crestview) then scored the go ahead touchdown with 4:17 to play.
Franklin went three and out on the next drive that turned on a 13-yard sack from Raider defender Ted Rosalva (Boynton Beach, Fla./American Heritage).
The Raiders got the ball back and ran out the clock.
Mount Union is off next week before opening Ohio Athletic Conference play Saturday, Sept. 21 at 1:30 pm at Muskingum in New Concord.

Hey, don't say I didn't warn you. When the College of Cardinals selected the 266th pope on Wednesday, video gamers all around the world had the same reaction: Francis?

USA TODAY: Burrow Attack Scene in Half-Blood Prince a Standout Scene
Apr 24, 2009
HBP Film
We've known for many months now, even witnessed footage seen in the newest trailer, that there is to be an attack on the Burrow included in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In their guide to Summer movies, the USA Today has a very brief preview of the film, and notes the events at the Burrow are a "Standout Scene." While this preview is only a few sentences long, it does contain a cool new detail and slight description of the attack:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (July 17)
Warner Bros.
The principals (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson,
Rupert Grint) return for the sixth installment, as Lord Voldemort's
threat hangs heavier over Hogwarts as Dumbledore prepares Harry for the
final battle with his ultimate foe. Meanwhile, adolescent hormones run
wild through the corridors of the academy.
Standout scene: While visiting Harry and the Weasleys,
part-werewolf Lupin (David Thewlis) catches a strange scent outdoors.
Soon huge snake-like flames slither toward the house as Death Eater
Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) appears and leads Harry into
the marshes while fire begins to consume the porch and walls.

Creative Technologies Academy, a charter school located here in Cedar Springs, saw a big improvement in their high school ACT scores this year. In fact, they led all public high schools in the amount of points they added to their average score, with a gain of 1.9 points. Crossroads Charter Academy in Big Rapids followed with a 1.6 gain, and Lee High School added 1.3. All other public high schools added less than 1 point to their average, stayed the same, or lost points.
CTA, located at 350 Pine Street, in Cedar Springs, has 300 students enrolled K-12. Thirty-two students took the ACT, which is part of the Michigan Merit Exam. Their average score is now 18.5, up from 16.6 last year. "While I hate to stress numbers, that's a pretty significant jump for a school our size," said CTA Superintendent Dan George.
The Michigan Merit Examination is given each spring to Michigan 11th grade students. The test is administered to most students over a three-day period. The components of the MME are sequenced so that students take the ACT Plus Writing® college entrance exam on Day 1, three subtests of the WorkKeys® job skills assessment on Day 2, and additional items in mathematics, science, and social studies that complete the measurement of Michigan High School Content Expectations on Day 3.
On last year's MME, only 10 out of 35 students at CTA met or exceeded proficiency guidelines (28 percent), and this year, that number jumped to 15 out of 32 (46 percent).
George said they implemented a plan to improve student achievement when he took over in January of 2010. Some of that included reviewing and implementing best teaching practices; working on the assessment of student learning by offering teacher professional development in that area, and testing students three times a year with Scantron's performance series; using the online resource "Study island" to provide additional instruction for students; using ACT's college and career readiness system; and using Quality Core, an end of course assessment for geometry and algebra.
"We have also made a few staff changes to increase instructional effectiveness and improve communication," said George.
The state average score on the ACT is 19.3, which has risen the last four years from 18.7 in 2008.
The average score on the ACT for Cedar Springs High School stayed the same at 19.8. They had 134 out of 251 students test proficient on the MME this year (53 percent), and last year 126 out of 233 tested proficient (54 percent).

Throw, game get away from Alvarez vs. Braves
Righty struggles, commits error in sixth to allow go-ahead run to score
MIAMI -- A week ago in Atlanta, Marlins manager Mike Redmond stressed the importance of playing crisp baseball against the elite teams. On Tuesday night, the Marlins saw what happens when they don't.
Miami struggled in numerous phases, committing two errors and combining to walk six batters.
Justin Upton made Miami pay with a home run, three hits and three runs scored in Atlanta's 6-4 comeback victory at Marlins Park.
Julio Teheran was efficient enough over 7 1/3 innings, giving up four runs, with one earned, while improving to 7-4.
Henderson Alvarez, laboring in six innings, gave up five runs (four earned) and four walks in his second start since coming off the disabled list.
"I think what we've seen is that when we do make a mistake, they'll make us pay for it," Redmond said. "We gave them a run there on the error.
"We don't have enough offense to give away runs. We need to secure the ball and play catch and try to get 27 outs. That's the goal. We're not able to give them extra outs. That's for sure."
Rob Brantly connected on his first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the second inning. He went 2-for-4, while Logan Morrison added two hits and an RBI, but he was picked off second base in the second, which was costly.
Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits, extending his hitting streak to nine straight games.
But the bottom line for the youthful Marlins is they were sloppy and had their losing streak reach five games.
After going 19-11 from May 31-July 4, which was the best record in the Majors during that span, the Marlins slipped to 3-6 in July.
"We went and we competed against San Francisco and Atlanta and St. Louis when they were here," Brantly said. "We played great games and we won those games. We know what we're capable of doing. It's a matter of building that consistency every day.
"That's going to be the difference maker, when we started doing that as a team -- staying locked in, everybody for the whole game. That's when the turnaround is going to happen."
Carrying over momentum from Monday's 7-1 win in 14 innings, the Braves put the pressure on the Marlins all night. In six of nine innings they led off with hits, and scored in five of those frames.
"You know, I always talk about those shutdown innings, and how important they are after you score to shut down the opposing team," Redmond said. "Henderson just wasn't able to do that tonight. They jumped on him early in the count and ended up getting some big hits against him. They scored more runs than we did."
For the second time in five days, Alvarez went against Teheran.
Familiarity didn't really benefit either one, because both of them had their struggles. However, Alvarez had the rougher night of the two.
The Braves jumped out on top in the second inning on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly to right, which scored Freddie Freeman, who led off with a double.
"He came out in that first inning and he was lights-out," Brantly said of Alvarez. "He was competing and getting ahead in counts, making all his pitches, quality pitches. After that, I think we started nitpicking the zone too much. We started getting in hitters' counts. As long as we keep them on the defensive, I think we'll be all right."
Miami capitalized on third baseman Chris Johnson's error in the second inning and scored three unearned runs. All came home on Brantly's shot to right field, the catcher's first homer of the season coming on his 175th at-bat.
The lead was short-lived, as the Braves pulled even in the third on Justin Upton's RBI double and Brian McCann's sacrifice fly.
In the third inning, the Marlins claimed a 4-3 lead on Morrison's RBI single to right.
From there, the Marlins floundered, and the Braves rallied with runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to grab a two-run edge.
In the fifth inning, Justin Upton doubled and scored on McCann's single. And in the sixth, B.J. Upton, who singled, scored from second on Teheran's swinging-bunt infield single, coupled with Alvarez's throwing error to first.
Justin Upton added insurance with a home run off Ryan Webb to open the seventh.
The Marlins claimed two of three at Atlanta a week ago, but the Braves secured the series win and seek a sweep on Wednesday afternoon.
Since the opening of Marlins Park last year, the Braves have won 12 of 14 meetings in Miami.
Teheran was able to provide the Braves with a quality start the night after the bullpen was stretched thin.
"We needed that type of outing after going 14 innings and having two or three guys in the bullpen who were unable to pitch, or we didn't want them to pitch," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He did a great job. He had that good sinker. He had some changeups, and he threw some sliders."

As America expanded westward, prospectors and missionaries fanned out across the vast terrain in pursuit of silver, gold or salvation. While some outposts grew into major cities (e.g., San Francisco), others withered as mines were stripped, water ran dry or the faithful were called elsewhere, leaving ghost towns (e.g., everyplace pictured below). In recent years, the Bureau of Land Management, the federal agency that maintains millions of acres of public land, has worked to preserve these ghost towns—providing an eerie reminder of the life no longer lived there. As part of this project, BLM photographers have documented the hauntingly beautiful tattered remains of each forsaken town, which they've shared with Playboy. Here are the five most captivating.
Garnet, Montana
WHAT HAPPENED: Named after the semiprecious stone found in the surrounding mountains, Garnet filled and emptied as fickle fortune seekers abandoned it for better claims. Settlers didn't develop the town with longevity in mind, but, ironically, it's the best-preserved ghost town in Montana. Its first mini-boom occurred in 1897, but by 1905, most of the active mines had shut down and the population had dwindled to a mere 150 people. The town rose from the dead, however, in 1934, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt doubled gold prices. The mountains provided returning miners with a bit more fortune, but the suppression of domestic dynamite use and the start of World War II finally did in Garnet for good. By 1948, everything that wasn't nailed down had been auctioned off or lifted by souvenir hounds.
SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT: Two dozen structures, including J.R. Wells Hotel, Dahl's Saloon, Kelly's Bar and the F.A. Davey's Store.
Lake Valley, New Mexico
WHAT HAPPENED: A deposit of high-quality silver 25 feet thick and almost 200 feet long—dubbed the "bridal chamber"—put this New Mexico boomtown on the map. By 1882, it was producing more than 2.5 million ounces of shining silver, valued at about $2.8 million. One particularly impressive chunk sold at the 1882 Denver Exposition for $7,000, when the going rate was leveling out at about $1.11 per ounce. But in 1893, when the price of silver plummeted from 83 cents to 63 cents per ounce, the bridal chamber's honeymoon was over. Busted shareholders took their leave and families moved to safer locales. Though the town's heyday was over, the town didn't fully empty for more than a century, when the last resident left in 1994.
SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT: A schoolhouse, a chapel, water towers and a rusted-out car.
Grafton, Utah
WHAT HAPPENED: In 1859, Mormon leader Brigham Young settled Grafton, just south of Zion National Park, as a cotton-farming community. Believed to be the most photographed ghost town in the West, it served as a backdrop for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Ultimately, it was undone by flooding and skirmishes with Native Americans. Originally called Wheeler, the entire settlement was destroyed by the Virgin River's Great Flood of 1862. Undaunted, the residents started over about a mile upstream, calling the new community Grafton. However, floods continued to plague the settlers, and the silty soil was less fertile than they'd hoped. The Black Hawk War of 1866 made matters even worse. The Mormon settlers evacuated during the frequent attacks; after the war ended, the barren land was not worth returning to. A few stubborn families held out, but they shuttered the last remaining homes in 1944.
SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT: A cemetery, several homes and a schoolhouse that doubled as a church.
Aurum, Nevada
WHAT HAPPENED: Aurum, also known as SilverCanyon, was a mediocre mining town straddling Nevada's eastern state line. The hilly landscape led to it having two separate neighborhoods of differing elevations—an "uptown" and a "downtown," if you will. The uptown area, known as Doughburg, was filled with boarding houses for miners, while the downtown area consisted of private homes and community buildings such as the post office. The sputtering silver mines first wound down in 1882, sputtered again during an 1898 revival and emptied out entirely by the 1920s. While the demise of Aurum was somewhat uneventful, a tragic event cast a shadow over its history: In 1884, an avalanche destroyed a boarding house in Doughburg, killing several men, who were then buried in the town cemetery.
SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT: Scattered graves, remains of a mill, rusty pieces of track and remnants of mining equipment.
Harrisburg, Utah
WHAT HAPPENED: God drew settlers to Harrisburg. In 1862, a handful of Mormons were called by the LDS church to the banks of the Virgin River in Utah, not far from the doomed town of Grafton. They used the area's abundant river rock to construct their small settlement. Unfortunately, Harrisburg's fate paralleled Grafton's. Native American attacks, grasshopper plagues, floods and the eventual diversion of water away from the homestead doomed the Mormon settlement. By 1891, most of Harrisburg had headed for higher ground. A notable exception was the Adams family, who had no interest in questioning the church despite all signs indicating otherwise. But when Orson Adams was widowed in 1892, he finally threw in the towel and headed for Leeds, Utah. By 1895, the last stragglers had moved on, and Harrisburg emptied for good.
SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT: Several foundations, a crumbling stone wall, the restored home of Orson Adams, a white picket fence and a dirt road.

Navy, mustard and gray. I have dubbed those my spring colors. A deep, golden-yellow t-shirt with delicate flowers framing the dipping "v" shape of the neck doesn't have time to get replaced to the closet as I rarely take it off. My navy striped hoodie is typically worn on top as it's not quite t-shirt season. For my feet, gray converse.
I have made it a mission of sorts to flood my Spring with as much of these colors as possible. In fact those three colors are setting the scene for my boys' birthday party happening in a couple weeks. Gray striped paper straws, giant goldenrod balloons, and deep blue candies for decorating the cake. In fact this morning I did what any other visually obsessed mother would do and limited their painting palette to those three colors as we were crafting some of the party decor. My poor children were refused red. I need help.
Colors paint my seasons as new favorites emerge in sync with the delicate Spring blossoms or the warming Summer sun. As the colors and seasons change so does the food.
While drenched head to toe in my current colors I am most likely eating this salad. It is my new favorite. And as with favorites I wonder how I ever lived without it and I can't begin to imagine that I will ever stray from it. But I will. Another salad will come into my life as new produce comes to peak. I'll trade in my favorite salad and I'll find new colors.
But for now this is what's hot right now and I am sticking to it.
It is a salad that Spring invented. A soft butter lettuce paired with thinly shaved radish, creamy avocado chunks, and a healthy handful of fresh herbs. The more the merrier: chives, parsley, tarragon, dill, cilantro, basil, and cilantro. This salad has shed its heavy winter coating and replaced that with a light champagne vinaigrette made ever so creamy with a touch of creme fraiche.
Cream is a fine replacement if creme fraiche is missing from your fridge. Sour cream is also viable. But I'll tell you what, go pour yourself a cup of cream. Go ahead, I'll wait. Now add to that 2 Tbl buttermilk. No buttermilk? Do you have lemon juice? No. Vinegar? There you go. Okay, add some vinegar to the cream. Now leave it on the counter. In time (12 hours or so, most likely less) it will thicken and through the magic of bacteria (yum) you've made your very own creme fraiche. Now use for dressings, soups, ice cream making, potato toppings, pie accompanying, etc. Creme fraiche provides the luxury of cream with the delightful addition of a soft tang. It is a staple in my fridge.
continue for recipe …
Spring Herb Salad with Creme Fraiche Vinaigrette
Serves 4-6 as a first course
The choices of herb possibilities are completely up to you. I like to use quite a variety as it gives this simple salad interest and a new flavor in every bite.
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Stir all ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
2 heads of butter lettuce, outer leaves removed
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup assorted whole fresh herb leaves (such as tarragon, chives, parsley, dill, basil, mint, and cilantro)
Arrange washed and dried lettuce on a platter or in a bowl. Drizzle with dressing then garnish with radish, avocado and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
One last word from me (for now). I can't even begin to tell you how honored and excited I am to say what I am about to say. Eeep. Saveur magazine (along with a nudging by you fine people) have nominated me for Best Food Photography. Crazy. Stunned. Happy. If you would be so kind as to vote I would LOVE it. (Just go to the BEST FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY category and click on the blog to place the vote). In the midst of that category are some dear friends and INCREDIBLE photographers, as I said, I am honored.

Could 'Fiscal Cliff' Cut Aid To Sandy Victims?
Lawmakers seeing funds to rebuild After Superstorm Sandy are worried about objections from Republicans who have insisted in the past that emergency funding for disaster relief be offset by cuts elsewhere. WSJ's Andrew Grossman reports. Photo: REUTERS.

Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner, illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal. Chronicle Books (October 2011); 9780811867849; 44 pages
Book Source: Copy from public library
"Under the snow is a whole secret kingdom, where the smallest forest animals stay safe and warm."
Winter picture books are easy to come by, but quality books, with well-written text, gorgeous illustrations, and educational components that appeal to a broad age range -- those books are few and far between. Kate Messner's Over and Under the Snow is a rare treasure, not only perfect for parent/child one-on-one reads, but also a useful addition to any elementary teacher's winter curriculum. The book presents the topic of animals in the snow in an interesting way, focusing on animals that live under the snow as well as touching on a few of the animals above.
As girl and her father ski across snow covered ground, they notice and remark on actions of animals over and under the snow. The daughter first sees a flash of a red squirrel as it disappears under the snow. The daytime sky slowly darkens to night while the pair continues their casual cross-country ski outing and they observe many other creatures including a shrew, an owl, a deer, voles, a chipmunk, a red fox and even beavers and fat bullfrogs near a reedy marsh. An author's note at the end explains the subnivean zone in detail and also provides further information on the various animals mentioned in the book.
Messner, in her poetic text, really captures the whole experience of skiing in a snow-covered forest as well as describing the animals. The sights, the sounds are all wonderfully expressed in her phrases. "Over the snow I glide. A full moon lights my path to supper. / Under the snow, a chipmunk wakes for a meal. Bedroom, kitchen, hallway -- his house under my feet." She creatively continues this "over the snow," "under the snow" pattern throughout the book.
Christopher Silas Neal's illustrations are an excellent complement to the text. His mixed media art skillfully portrays the hidden, under the snow world in a way children can appreciate. He applies his artistic license and presents a visually interesting, sleekly designed winter world that is realistic enough to look believable. His landscapes show many perspectives. Sometimes the father and daughter appear in the foreground and other times farther back as tiny profiles in the background. My kids greatly enjoy looking at and pointing out all the creatures tucked away under the snow and dirt. (They found the page where a fox scratches away at the snow to grab a mouse really interesting, though perhaps a little startling. That's real life in the winter forest, for sure!)

"PROCESS behind the art - Over and Under the Snow"
Nearly all the illustrations in Over and Under the Snow include images of bare trees in winter with long trunks extending off the top edge of the pages. A couple of the pages show the daughter and father skiing through a forest of birch trees. I've been wanting to do a tape resist birch tree art project with my kids for awhile now, and the project is the perfect story stretcher to go along with this picture book.
Several elementary art teachers like to use tape resist birch tree art projects to demonstrate positive and negative space and contrast as well as composition relating to background, middle ground and foreground. While many birch tree art projects use watercolors, after reading a blog post at A Palette of Primary Grade Kids, we decided to experiment with paint and oil pastels. We also expanded our project to also talk about ways to picture cross-sections underground. This is a nice, multi-step art project appropriate for a variety of age levels.
Stick painters tape onto colored paper (we used card stock) to create tree outlines. (Make the tape less sticky by rubbing against your clothing first.) Also, leave a little extra tape at the top to make pulling off the paper easier. Paint tree outlines and the ground area with white paint.
While the paint is still wet, remove tape to reveal sky. (One of my son's favorite parts)
Use an oil pastel crayon to outline trees and create lines on the birch trees. This is a wonderfully challenging task for preschoolers,and my son was bound and determined to make all those lines! My daughter used a little heavier line in detailing her trees.
Glue coffee grounds to the bottom of the page to represent the dirt underground. (And enjoy the fragrance of the coffee.)
Finished Images: My son elected to use photocopied animals from the book. He chose the squirrel and chipmunk for his painting. He LOVES the coffee grounds dirt.
My daughter chose to draw all the animals in herself using pastels. Her drawing depicts a cardinal, red fox, mouse, bird in the hole of a tree and fish in a snow covered pond with a single reed. No coffee on her drawing!

'Jerome Bettis: A Football Life' Premieres Friday, October 2 at 9:00 PM ET
"He is held as the standard that a lot of our players look to when they want to try to understand what it is to be a Steeler." – Art Rooney II
September 29, 2015: Jerome Bettis: A Football Life premieres Friday, October 2 at 9:00 PM ET on NFL Network with a look at Pro Football Hall of Famer and Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers Jerome Bettis, nicknamed 'The Bus'. The one-hour documentary produced by NFL Films features interviews with Bettis, family members, teammates, coaches and opponents.
Seven teams – Arizona, Atlanta, Carolina, Cincinnati, Denver, Green Bay and New England – remain undefeated as the NFL enters Week 4.
"It's the kind of start you always want to have," says Bengals quarterback ANDY DALTON, who leads the AFC in passer rating (121.0), about the team's 3-0 record. "It says a lot about the people we have on this team. We're going to keep playing one week at a time but we like where we are right now."
The chances of making the playoffs after a 3-0 start are good but far from certain. Since 1990, when the current playoff format was adopted, 93 of the 124 teams (75 percent) to start 3-0 have qualified for the postseason.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Joe Cannon has memories of the first couple of weeks the San Jose Earthquakes spent in training this spring. Few of them, however, involve what typically is the center of attention on a pitch.
"We came in the first two weeks, and we didn't see the ball," Cannon told MLSsoccer.com. "Actually, we saw it. We just weren't allowed to play with it too much."
That's because coach Frank Yallop and his staff had other ideas in mind. Namely, raising the fitness level of a team that had been decimated by injuries a year earlier.
"We had so many injuries the first two years, in preseason, that I felt we never really got a good base, and I think that's really helped us this year," Yallop told MLSsoccer.com. "We decided to really work on the fitness."
It has paid off. The Quakes have started the 2010 season 5-2-1, most recently defeating Seattle on Saturday.
"There was a little tougher preseason, physically, and it prepared all of us for the start that we got off to," center back Bobby Burling told MLSsoccer.com.
The Quakes' improved fitness has shown up most later on in the game. In 2009, more than a quarter of the 50 goals San Jose allowed were scored in the 75th minute or later. This year, only one of seven goals the Quakes have surrendered has come that late—an 87th-minute strike from Chukwudi Chijindu of Chivas USA, a play that was given up not due to fatigue, but by a gaffe in a back line desperately trying to find an equalizer.
"I think the coaches, they kind of pinpointed what they wanted to see out of the group, and it's just worked out so far," Cannon said. "It's still early, but right at the beginning, they knew we had to be a blue-collar team, and I think all of the training since Day 1 has been heading in that direction."
With so many younger players on this year's roster, Yallop wanted to make sure to set a tone for the season with his training camp work. Whenever the players "look a little bit leggy," Yallop would either push them harder, or sometimes give them a brief respite.
"I think that when I had older pros before, and most of the clubs I've been at, or even on the national team, they knew how to take care of their bodies," Yallop said. "I felt that we had to get a stricter regime so [the younger players] put the work in when they were with us and make sure that they know we're going to win games by being fit and hard to break down, and we've done that."
With Saturday out of the way, the Quakes face their biggest fitness test yet: Three matches in the space of eight days before the MLS's World Cup break. San Jose will host Toronto (May 29) and Columbus (June 2) before traveling to Dallas on June 5.
Yallop, who is generally cautious about making lineup changes willy-nilly, said he hasn't decided yet if he'll rest some players during that stretch or try to ride his favorites into the break.
"We've got a number of guys who are itching to play. I feel good that we have strength in numbers," Yallop said. "I think with that (depth), you can make decisions not before it happens but after the game. That's what I'm going to do; see how they're looking, how they're feeling and make a decision then."

Malala Yousafzai receives honorary doctorate from University of King's College
Published Thursday, May 15, 2014 6:34PM ADT Last Updated Thursday, May 15, 2014 7:24PM ADT
Malala Yousafzai addresses students and faculty after receiving the 2013 Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., Friday, Sept. 27, 2013. (AP / Jessica Rinaldi)
OTTAWA -- Graduating students at the University of King's College in Halifax got a surprise virtual visitor Thursday -- Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teen and champion of girls' education who survived a point-blank shooting by the Taliban.
Via pre-recorded video from Britain, Yousafzai appeared during Thursday's convocation ceremony to receive an honorary doctorate and announce a new $240,000 scholarship in her name that will allow two female students from developing countries to study at the Nova Scotia institution.
The university is partnering with Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to fully fund four years of study for two young women to the tune of $30,000 per year for each recipient.
Yousafzai, 16, never directly mentioned the hundreds of teenage girls kidnapped from their school in Nigeria by the terrorist group known as Boko Haram. But her appearance marked one more poignant act of defiance against the efforts of those around the world who seek to deny young girls an education.
"It's not only a degree, but it's courage, and it's your support and it's strengthening me to continue my campaign for education of every child," she said in the video.
Yousafzai received an honorary doctorate of civil law from the university, along with three other honorary degree recipients, including Governor General David Johnston.
In his convocation address, Johnston called the scholarship a wonderful way for Canada to honour Yousafzai's message of giving young women access to a quality education.
Yousafzai said she was sorry she couldn't be with her "fellow graduates," but added she hoped to visit one day.
The citation for her degree offered a simple reason for her absence: she is in the middle of her high school exams in England.
Yousafzai told those gathered in the video message that she was happy and excited that the scholarships would provide an opportunity to young girls dreaming "for a better future, for a better world," to get a quality education.
"I think that there are so many children in countries like Pakistan who are talented, who have skills, who have dreams. But because of poverty, because of many other issues, because of terrorism, they cannot go forward in their life."
Yousafzai lives with her family in Birmingham, England, and is pursuing her own studies towards one day becoming a lawyer.
"I'm already a doctor, but still I'll work hard and it's also my dream to study law and get more and more education, and I'm very thankful to all of you."
Last year, Yousafzai became only the sixth international figure to receive honorary Canadian citizenship, joining Nelson Mandela, Raoul Wallenberg, the Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi and the Aga Khan.
Yousafzai became an international symbol of girls' rights after the Taliban shot her in the head while she was coming home from school in her native Pakistan in October 2012.
"I can't imagine anybody in the world today who is better able to signal the profoundly important goal of scholarship for people from emerging countries, from developing countries, particularly young women," university president George Cooper said in an interview.
"For Malala to be able to lend her name, first of all to this scholarship, and secondly to her work in Pakistan, and also now in Nigeria is wonderful and courageous and a signal by Malala."
Muslim leaders from across the globe have condemned the Nigerian student kidnappings by Boko Haram, which translates in English as "western education is sinful."
Jean Lebel, the IDRC president, said the Canadian Crown corporation supported the scholarship because it meets a key tenet of international development: educating girls and women.
"It fits globally with some of the work the centre is doing on governance, security, justice and support to the youth for education."

Hemingway Daiquiri Recipe
Toast to a Literary Legend With a Papa Doblé Daiquiri
At Spruce, an upscale bar and restaurant in San Francisco, I came across the papa doblé daiquiri on the bar menu and knew I had to order it. I love this drink for several reasons, and one of them is the legendary story behind it. The papa doblé was the signature drink of prolific writer Ernest Hemingway. Back in the '30s and '40s, he frequently ordered it at the El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba. The cocktail isn't cloying — in fact, it isn't sweet at all — but it's smooth and easy to drink. Beware of impostor recipes, which will use cherry syrup in lieu of true, colorless maraschino cherry liqueur. To learn how to make this famous concoction, keep reading.
Papa Doblé Daiquiri
Adapted from El Floridita
- 2 ounces white rum
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish
- Add the rum, lime and grapefruit juices, and maraschino liqueur to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a coupe or martini glass and garnish with a lime wheel or wedge.
