Great lotion, love using it and smells great.
This is a great foot lotion. Great scent and moisturizes great too. Wish there was a bigger size to purchase.
What a great product! It leaves feet smoother and softer. Not much is needed and the aroma is wonderful.
Covers the odor of smelly feet!
I've been using this foot creme for 9 years now. No one has ever had an allergic reaction to it. It's non-greasy but gives enough glide to perform a great foot rub. I gave it 4 stars because I wish it had a stronger scent. Other than that I don't have one complaint about this product!

Some star power will be rolling into Redwood City's Woodside Plaza Saturday afternoon - all in the name of giving underprivileged kids across San Mateo County a merry Christmas.
Locals will have the chance to meet former NFL stars like Jerry Rice and even pose for free photos with them, if they bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the 18th annual Toy Drive.
Santa Claus will also be on hand to hear kids' Christmas wishes, and raffles to win prizes will also be held. Raffle prizes include everything from NFL memorabilia and autographs to children's toys.
It all takes place in the former location of McWhorter's Stationary, at 282 Woodside Plaza.
The woman behind this beloved annual charity is Belmont resident Carolyn Hoskins, a longtime family friend of Jerry Rice's and the godmother of his children.
It's a funny story how the toy drive first began nearly two decades ago - and it shows the occasional pitfalls of having such a famous family friend, Hoskins jokes.
"When Jerry and his kids would come to my house to visit every year on Christmas, all the neighbors would show up just so they could see Jerry," she said with a laugh. "So, after a while, I said, I'm going to make you start bringing something with you."
So, the toy drive started organically in that way, just out of Hoskins' house - but it soon started to grow much bigger than her walls could hold in.
"Then, after a while, we started blocking off my street and making it a block party outside," she said. "But then, that started out not being such a good idea, when one year, we had over 400 people show up."
It didn't stop there, and now, each year, Hoskins and her fellow volunteers look for a business that will lend them space for no charge around the holidays. Last year, Hoskins said they took up an empty storefront on Burlingame Avenue in Burlingame; this year, it's the old McWhorters site in Redwood City.
"We were very fortunate this year, to find this location," she said.
Hoskins thinks it's a valuable experience for families to have their children help pick out a new, unwrapped toy to bring as a donation Saturday, so they learn about helping others.
"We want them to understand how fortunate they are, and that there are some kids out there that aren't as lucky," she said.
And, they repay the families' generosity with the visit from Santa, free giveaways for all the kids who come, courtesy of local businesses and companies, and, of course, the chance to meet the NFL stars.
The toys collected in the toy drive get distributed to 37 different Bay Area charities, such as the Shelter Network, Stanford Hospital, the Boys and Girls Club of the Mid Peninsula, and many more.
Attendees can also bring cash donations in lieu of a gift, and those funds, along with money collected by the raffles that take place at the event, go toward filling in some gaps and purchasing gifts to give away. Hoskins said, it most often ends up being gifts for teens that they purchase.
"Most of the gifts we collect in the drive end up being for younger kids, so we like to purchase gifts that teens will like, such as cologne, scarves and hats, and things like that. We partner with Old Navy to get many of them," Hoskins explained. "We don't want the teens to get lost in the shuffle."
On Saturday, the event takes place from 12-8 p.m. Santa Claus arrives at 1 p.m., and the NFL Alumni stars will be there from 2-5 p.m.
NFL Alumni stars expected to attend Saturday's event include:
- Dennis Brown (SF 49ers)
- Eric Wright (SF 49ers)
- Gary Weaver (Oakland Raiders)
- Larry Bates (Seattle SeaHawks)
- Allan Kennedy (SF 49ers)
- Eason Ramson (SF 49ers)
- Mike Kirtman (Dallas Cowboys)
- Henry Ford (Pittsburgh Steelers)
- Tom Combs (New York Jets)
- Mervyn Fernandez (Oakland Raiders)
- Tim Anderson (SF 49ers)
FedEx, one of the toy drive's sponsors, will be on hand to take your photo with any of the stars, and print it out for you on the spot, free of charge, when you bring a monetary or gift donation for the drive.
All donations are tax deductible.

A teen was arrested in Pleasant Hill and another suspect remains at large after residents spotted the pair apparently casing a neighborhood for burglaries.
A resident in the area of Western Hills Drive and Pleasant Hill Road called police around 10:45 a.m. Saturday after spotted two males writing down addresses and walking up to front doors of neighboring houses, police said.
Officers used the witness's description of the suspects and their vehicle to track the pair to a nearby street.
After an officer tried to approach them, the suspects fled, heading through several backyards.
One of the males, a 17-year-old boy, was detained near the intersection of Pleasant View Drive and Oak Park Boulevard, police said. The teen had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and was booked into Juvenile Hall.
Police are still attempting to locate the other suspect, who reportedly drove the suspect vehicle, identified as 28-year-old parolee Ricardo Guerrero.
Police said Guerrero has the phrase "California Cut Throat" tattooed along his jaw line, a red tattoo above his right eye and numerous neck tattoos.
While no residential burglaries in the area were confirmed Saturday, police said the black Cadillac identified as the suspect vehicle matches a suspect vehicle description from a prior home burglary in Pleasant Hill.
Anyone with information about Guerrero's whereabouts is asked to call Pleasant Hill police at (925) 288-4630.

Material: rayon knit, nice drape, lighter weight, nice quality, slight sheen, opaque, unlined, doesn't require a slip. Construction: simple, fine for the price. Shape: generous up top, baggy and loose on the bottom. Sizing runs big. I ordered an XL following the measurement chart and I suspect I could wear a large with no problem. The XL hid my body behind excess fabric, rather than showing a shape. It fell more like a Regency style gown than a modern dress. The top covered with fabric to spare. Probably generous enough for a larger bust. At 5'8" the XL dress hit the bottom of my ankles/tops of my feet. At least it was long enough.
Fabric is thin--not appropriate for office, business casual, or even an evening at the beach. Appropriate use will be be bathing suit cover--dress is not as depicted in the photo. Cut is deep in back and in front. Shirt, slip or other secondary garment is required to wear. I purchased to wear for a casual office environment and it is not appropriate quality for casual office wear. Material is not material that I would purchase for a dress of any kind--it is more like a thin T-Shirt. The quality level is far below what would be expected for knit dresses. I purchased 2 of these dresses based on the photo and the reviews--these dresses are the poorest quality I have ever purchased. Pricey and a really poor choice--think twice before ordering and know what you are getting. Disappointed with value received for price paid--make sure you know what you are getting and read the reviews carefully.
I love this dress! I wear it once a week and if they had my size ( 5'7" = L) in any other colors I'd buy them, too. It's incredibly comfortable and makes me feel incredibly pretty, despite having quite the tummy (which this dress hides) and a small chest (which the dress enhances)
I purchased this knowing I had an important function coming up soon and not only did it arrive in no time at all but it was a huge hit. Thank you to Overstock.com
This dress is amazing...I want more. I have NEVER rec'd so many compliments as I did wearing this dress. The fit is very nice. I have a blessed chest and need to usually buy a 12 to fit it. The Large was a perfect fit. I want more. You will love this - especially if you are lg chested like me & find it hard to fit some items. The stretchy material was just stretchy enough. Warning..It is cut VERY deep...
Very comfortable. Fits well. Nice weight fabric- not too heavy. Flattering style. Can be easily dressed up or down. Washable...yeah!
This beautiful dress is one of the best fitting dresses that I acquired in a very long time; even with some extra pounds it still appears extraordinarily nice; anyone and everyone should be able to wear this dress and look amazing.
material is a bit thin but still a nice dress overall. Too low cute for the office - if that is what you are looking for.
Cannot recommend this dress, the fabric is so flimsy.
Very nice. I just wish I had a scarf to wear with it. It was a little low cut.

You know your parody worked brilliantly when someone -- ideally a big someone -- doesn't have a clue that it's a parody.
The Onion did not, in Lincoln's phrase, fool all of the people all of the time. But it evidently fooled more than a quarter of a billion people for some of the time -- the subscribers and Web readers of China's Communist Party newspaper, the People's Daily, with more than 3 million subscribers worldwide and tens of millions of daily hits to its website.

Steve Schaefer, Forbes Staff
Shares of Apple were inching higher in pre-market trading Friday, after falling 12.4% Thursday on the heels of the prior afternoon's disappointing earnings report.
The drop, which sent the stock down to $450.50 and marked its worst one-day slide since September 2008, left the broader market relatively unscathed as the S&P 500 finished essentially flat but leaning positive.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," writes Howard Silverblatt, the senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, who also passed along the following figures to put the Apple drop, and its impact on the market, in context.
0.0005% — The S&P 500′s Thursday gain.
0.47% – What that gain would have been excluding Apple.
$423.8 billion — Apple's market capitalization at Thursday's close.
$234.4 billion – The decline in that market cap since the Sept. 19 high ($658.2 billion), about the size of Microsoft.
$59.9 billion – The market cap loss for Apple, about the size of UnitedHealth Group ($57.4B), the newest Dow component.
So, Apple lost a UnitedHealth Thursday, and has dropped a Microsoft since mid-September, but it is still the largest issue by market value — edging Exxon Mobil $423.8 billion to $416.5 billion. At least for now.

Now we find out that slaves make iPhones, what next????? Apple is a mess.
The stock beats on the bottom-line, supply constraints and a short quarter cause a small miss on iPhones and a miss on Macs and the stock looses over 12% of it's value??? I bought yesterday and will wait till the news cycle goes positive, an iTV comes out, China Mobile or a smaller or bigger iPhone is announced and the stock runs again. The herd will be the herd emotion rules!!! The market is absorbing everything it can make…
I must say that I feel happy about the tumble of apple this is because as me many people agree that their products are so damn expensive the new retina mac bookpro are sky high and the prices are unfordable to most of us, I do like Apple computers they're the best computers ever there's no denying about that, but I hope with this financial loss Apple reconsider its price policies and offer less expensive products so everybody can buy a mac.
I hear this a lot, but really, Mac is not that much of a premium once you actually try to configure the PC to match (it's not really even possible, but if you get close, you are in ballpark of the Mac price, honestly. This is in the US though, overseas there is often more of a premium on Apple stuff, so if you are in Europe, etc… I hear what you are saying. In the US though, if you attempt to configure a generic PC with the same features, you may even pay more for it, this is why Dell is in such trouble–that's insanity when you still can't legally run the best OS there is, Mac OS. Dell's high end lines are so totally overpriced, it's ridiculous, this is why they simply sell almost nothing except the cheap models. There is nothing yet to compare with the Retina Display MBP, of course, but that's nearly the most expensive model, pretty bleeding edge tech. Expect it to come out for PC in the next few years, maybe. Right now the PC hardware companies are putting touch screens on laptops, for some strange reason. Well, not that many are, because not many are buying into MSFT's Windows 8 hype, but that's about the only game they have right now. I think it's funny, because one only has to use a touch screen on a laptop or desktop for about 10 minutes before you realize it's about as much fun as painting the ceiling.
First of all, basic MAC is made so that there is no similar computer you can compare in price. To find something similar, you need to have a custom built Dell, which is then a bit more expensive than a mass manufactured mac.
Also, basic macs are cheap for comparison purposes, but then apple charges you way more for things like extra RAM or a larger hard disk.
And companies like Dell sell cheaper models for those who need them while apple makes everyone buy their absurdly expensive crap whether grandma needs it or not. You can get two good laptops and four cheap laptops for the price of a single MBP.
And finally Mac OS is crap. It is a restricted OS, running hand picked software on hand picked hardware. OS X is always first to fall in hacking competition.
The reason why people like apple products is because they pay way too much for them so they engage in cognitive dissonance or otherwise they would feel stupid and cheated for paying too much for a computer.
I think that investors are afraid that without Steve Jobs, apple will be unable to continue creating (overhyped) products the way only Steve could. Steve could take a failed concept – like a computing pad – and make a product with a lot of hype around it. All the tech journalists would swoon and armies of brainwashed fanboys would cue up in long lines just to get the new toy few hours sooner.
Get real. Pundits trash every Apple product ever made. For instance the iPad–it was universally panned, 'doomed' just a big iPhone (it's much more than that actually), etc… Literally the ONLY people who are positive on it are writing for exclusively Mac publications–there are only a few of these. Practically EVERY other journalist and Windoze fanboy, such as yourself, Mirza, pans the products. Then they sell out like crazy.
Apple has great marketing, but it's completely disingenuous of you to insinuate that Apple's success is based on hype. The entire rest of the 'industry' is chasing everything Apple does. It's the technology, the products, not the hype. Hype alone does very little. Hype is like the Android commercials where the phone becomes a part of your 'DNA' or blows a hole in the wall, etc… Apple's commercials are actually quite understated. The reaction is the hype–for instance the Samsung commercials that crow about 'bump' file transfer over bluetooth. That was a new thing in 2008 when the iPhone did it. Only an idiot believes it's a new thing now. Someone who believes in hype.
Give one example of something Apple hyped. Sure there is some hype at a conference, but what do you expect? Is there another conference where products and services are not hyped?
Haters are going to hate. What you call a 'brainwashed fanboy' was actually right about more than you are, and you are just sore about it.
Are you kidding me? I have never seen anything but hype and praise from journalist. They seem to consistently think that Apple is the innovator when in fact Apple (After Wosniak) never invented anything
Apple does set trends, but it invents nothing!
The proof that perception about apple is all hype and not reality is that everyone used to believe that OS X is secured when in fact it was not:
From the article: "The things that Windows do to make it harder (for an exploit to work), Macs don't do. Hacking into Macs is so much easier. You don't have to jump through hoops and deal with all the anti-exploit mitigations you'd find in Windows. It's more about the operating system than the (target) program. Firefox on Mac is pretty easy too. The underlying OS doesn't have anti-exploit stuff built into it."
This interview came out about the same time as those Mac vs. PC commercial where they claimed that macs are safer.
But of course Macs are more reliable, right? Wrong:
Notice that ranking is based on people who called rescuecom. Doesn't apple have it's own supposedly excellent tech support?
Yeah, success of apple is based on hype. There is no doubt about it.
I wrote a reply to Mozart but it did not show up – maybe because I included links. Yeah apple's success is based on hype. First iMac was enormously successful but it was no better than the computer it replaced. Macs have reputation for security but they are first to be compromised in hacking competitions. Macs have a reputation to reliability but they are number four in reliability. Apple has reputation for innovation but they invented nothing since Wosniak left. Apple products are all about hype.
1/2 the headlines in the business media are Apple it seems. You know how this works. The new craze NFLX and AMZN will hit 52 yr highs(sarcasm intended) while the headlines pound away at Apple trying to drag it down to $300 or so. Then writers will say are you crazy buying AMZN and NFLX at those prices. They don't even make any money. Look at Apple at $340, and back up she goes.Ive seen this movie before
Amazing how Apple reports record-breaking revenues and profits, even beating the average "analysts" predictions… and instead of Apple's artificially low stock price going back up, it drops even further.
Then we see companies that show poor quarters, and their stock prices go up.
Just shows that stock price has nothing to do with how profitable or successful a company may be.

Rod Hill
KGW Meteorologist
Rod Hill's forecasting career has spanned more than 20 years, taking him from the hurricanes of South Texas to the lake effect snows of Michigan, the tornadoes of the Ohio valley and yes, the hard to predict weather of the Pacific Northwest.
Rod grew up in Missouri and graduated from Mizzou. He later earned his certificate of broadcast meteorology from Mississippi State. Soon after, Rod earned the seal of approval from the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. He later served on the NWA certification board for more than five years.
Arriving in the Northwest in 1999, Rod was honored more than any other broadcast meteorologist during his ten years of doing the evening news for KPTV and KATU. His forecasting achievements include two Emmy awards for best meteorologist and three Associated Press awards for best weathercast in Oregon. Rod is truly at home, being a member of the First Alert Storm Team.
Family time is spent with Caruso and Concerto, a chow mix and black lab. Passions include golf and the celebration of a hole in one in Feb. of 2009 (5-iron, 171 yards)! Another joy is ballroom dancing. Rod has competed across the country in Pro-am standard and American smooth. Nothing wrong with kick-en up your heels after a long day of possible showers.

The Westwood Board of Health would like to invite residents to the February Board of Health meeting to provide feedback on two new proposed tobacco regulations, pertaining to the restriction of Tobacco Sales and to Second-Hand Smoke. A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 5:00 pm in the large conference room at the Carby Street Municipal Office Building, 50 Carby Street in Westwood. If adopted, these draft regulations will replace the existing regulation entitled, "Regulation Affecting Smoking and the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco in Westwood".
"The Board is concerned with the ease in which young people can obtain tobacco and nicotine delivery products, such as e-cigarettes. As a result the Board feels these new regulations will help prevent youth from access and becoming addicted to these harmful products," said Health Director Linda Shea.
Because their bodies and brains are still developing, young people are especially vulnerable to nicotine addiction and nearly 90% of adult smokers started before they were 18 years old. In Massachusetts, and nationally, the use of cigarettes among youth has been decreasing but they are using other products at a higher rate. Tobacco companies make non-cigarette tobacco products, like single cigars and smokeless tobacco, appealing to youth through cheap prices and attractive packaging. These products can get non-smoking youth addicted to nicotine, creating future smokers. Affordability plays a significant role in youth consumption of tobacco products. Prior to this regulation, mini cigars have been available in Westwood for as little as $0.69 each, making them an inexpensive alternative to buying a pack of cigarettes. Policies that make it more difficult to acquire tobacco and nicotine products are an important component of preventing youth access to these products. To combat these statistics, the Board proposes to regulate nicotine delivery products, such as electronic cigarettes and to increase the minimum age to 19 to purchase tobacco and nicotine products.
In Westwood, there is currently no purchase age restriction on products that contain nicotine but not tobacco, like e-cigarettes. While e-cigarette marketers say their product is a healthier alternative to smoking and that they can be used to help smokers quit, e-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA as a tobacco cessation device. The Board of Health proposes to treat e-cigarettes like tobacco products, including requiring retail establishments to obtain a permit to sell them, prohibiting their use in the workplace, and restricting their sale to adults over the age of 19.
Highlights of Westwood's proposed Regulation Restricting the Sale of Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products include the following:
- Increasing the minimum age to purchase tobacco and nicotine delivery products to 19;
- Regulating "nicotine delivery products" including electronic cigarettes;
- Banning the sale of blunt wraps and non-residential Roll-Your-Own machines;
- Prohibiting the sale of single cigars; requiring them to be sold in a package of 4;
- Requiring vendors to put up signs that lists the MA Quitline phone number, and a sign regarding the prohibited usage and sales of e-cigarettes to minors;
- Capping the number of Board of Health vendor permits to 10.

Private-equity firm KKR, which usually holds its cards close to its chest, gave investors a look at its portfolio on Sunday night. The New York firm disclosed the information, including its $1.2 billion loss in 2008, to update investors on its financial condition as it evaluates buying out its Amsterdam-listed fund, KKR Private Equity Investors LP.
Also in the presentation was the value of the firm's 10 largest portfolio companies as of March 31. The fair values of these companies may not be particularly representative of where they'd be valued today — the S&P 500 is up nearly 20 percent since March 31 — but it is an interesting snapshot of how KKR has been performing.
The Good: French industrial conglomerate Legrand, which has a fair value that is more than double its December 2002 cost; Singapore-based technology company Avago, up 70 percent from December 2005; Nordic telecom company TDC, up more than 30 percent from February 2006; retailer Dollar General, up 30 percent from July 2007; and health care company HCA; which has held a stable value since November 2006.
The Bad: British Health and beauty company Alliance Boots, down 35 percent since May 2007; US Foodservice and medical device manufacurer Biomet, both down 20 percent since July 2007.
The Ugly: Power company Energy Future Holdings, down 50 percent since October 2007, and First Data, down 40 percent since September 2007.

---- — AMESBURY – ARC Technologies, Inc. is on the verge of purchasing the 125-year-old Durasol Drug Building at 1-9 Oakland St. in the Lower Millyard and plans to invest up to $2.6 million in renovations by the end of the year.
Dan Healey, ARC Technologies' CEO, said he plans to close on the building on May 15 and expects the renovations to begin immediately afterwards. The building will undergo a "full shell" renovation, meaning the entire building will be gutted and rebuilt from the inside out.
"It needs a ton of work," Healey said. "Everything from the roof is going to be removed, the windows, repointing and everything in between the brick, but we're going to bring it back to what it looked like in 1888."
The purchase price of the building will remain confidential until after the transaction is official, but Healey said the $2.6 million in renovations should be complete by the first snowfall this winter, and the new building will introduce about 15 to 25 new jobs to Amesbury.
"Most of those with ARC Technologies' expansion, but also a lot of tradespeople coming in to do the construction," Healey said.
Healey talked about the planned purchase at length during Wednesday's public information session regarding the Heritage Park project in the Lower Mill-yard, which also featured presentations by Mayor Thatcher Kezer, Bartley Machine Co. CEO Rick Bartley and Amesbury Chamber Alliance Chairman Matt Sherrill.
Healey and Bartley both focused primarily on the private investment that has occurred in the Lower Millyard, and Bartley said he's excited Healey is willing to take on the building because "no sane developer would buy that piece of property."
"Nobody would've taken on that situation, I've been through the building and I know how rough it is," Bartley said. "That building was in a downward spiral, if nothing happened to it, it would fall in upon itself eventually in the very near future. Now with this move, jobs are going to come to Amesbury and there will be some good building on the tax rolls."
Bartley added that the project makes sense for Healey because his business is already in the area and he can keep everything nice and close.
The mill building, once owned by carriagemaker John Clark, stands on Carriage Hill, an area that was once the center of Amesbury's world-renowned carriage industry. A devastating fire swept through the hill's factories in 1888, leveling most of them. Clark was among the carriagemakers who immediately rebuilt, and his factory was considered at the time to be one of the finest in Amesbury.
The impending purchase of the Durasol building comes as the City Council prepares to vote on the Heritage Park proposal this coming Tuesday. The Finance and Ordinance Committees both endorsed the project earlier this week, and Healey said he's optimistic that the councilors will give their final approval.
If the council does vote in favor of creating Heritage Park, Healey will also move forward with some planned improvements to his Carriage Mills office complex on Water Street. Healey is planning on tearing down some green tin sheds adjacent to the main building, and it their place he expects to build a 25,000 square-foot expansion to house new commercial office space.
Construction of the addition would begin once Heritage Park is about "80 percent complete," which is expected to be around 2015. Healey also has plans to spruce up the landscaping outside the existing Carriage Mills building, and those plans would go forward immediately should the council approve the park proposal.

Linebacker Desmond Bishop stopped and chatted with reporters as he left the locker room Friday. Bishop said his ACL surgery is scheduled for Tuesday with Dr. James Andrews.
Andrews performed Adrian Peterson's ACL surgery, and Bishop said he's using Peterson's accelerated recovery as his motivation.
"The first person who I talked to was Adrian about it," Bishop said. "I was looking at his whole timeline so that's who I'm kind of in competition with right now. I believe he got his surgery after the injury six or seven days after. I think mine is going to be eight so I'm a little upset about that [smiling]. Going forward, I'm just going to try and keep at the same pace he had. He kind of set the blueprint. That's where I'm channeling all my focus, to out-do him."
Bishop suffered the injury in the second quarter Sunday when a Carolina player slammed into his right leg on a running play. It came during Bishop's first start for the Vikings.
"It's definitely unfortunate," he said. "I feel like I was kind of getting into my groove. I've always been in my groove, honestly. But it's just the way life is and the way things go sometimes. The only thing I can do is focus on what I can control and that's my rehab and coming back even better."
Bishop missed the 2012 season after suffering a torn hamstring in his right leg, an injury that he called worse than his ACL tear. Bishop signed a one-year contract this past offseason so his future his unclear. He said he's not thinking that far ahead.
"I'm seriously just trying to channel all my focus on recovering and healing," he said. "Just ready to tackle this whole process. I've been here before. I know what it takes to come back physically, mentally, psychologically. I'm prepared."
Roster move
The Vikings signed cornerback Jacob Lacey to replace safety Harrison Smith, who was placed on IR/designated to return list.
Lacey was released by the Vikings during training camp.
The NFL announced Tuesday that Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $100,000 for his low hit on Vikings center John Sullivan on Sunday.
Suh, who has a history of cheap shots, avoids a suspension. He was informed of his punishment by NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks.
Suh dived at Sullivan's knees on an interception return in the second quarter. Sullivan was behind the play and had no chance of catching Detroit linebacker DeAndre Levy.
The penalty negated a touchdown. The league "prohibits blocks below the waist by players of either team after a change of possession."
Sullivan limped off the field but was able to return the next series. He escaped with only a knee contusion and is expected to play this week.
Suh apologized to Sullivan before the start of the season half.
"He said there was no intent to injure," Sullivan said Monday.
Asked if he believed Suh, Sullivan said, "I think guys get caught up in the play sometimes and sometimes things happen. It's hard to even remember what you do when you get caught up in the moment. I appreciate the fact that he said something to me."
Update: The Vikings made some practice squad changes, putting running back Joe Banyard back on the practice squad and releasing defensive end Tristan Okpalaugo and running back Bradley Randle from the practice squad.
The Vikings finished their preseason with a 24-23 victory over Tennessee on Thursday night and now comes the hard part.
The team must trim the roster from 75 to 53 by Saturday's 5 p.m. deadline. Leslie Frazier, his coaching staff and general manager Rick Spielman will meet today to begin setting the final roster.
The team could begin informing players today but the Vikings won't announce the moves officially until Saturday afternoon.
These two days are anxious times for players on the bubble.
"It is without question one of the toughest parts," Frazier said of releasing players. "When you sit down and realize that for a lot of the guys that played tonight, they will probably never wear an NFL uniform again and we have to sit down and discuss who those guys might be. When you sit down with them on that Saturday, or Friday, they come by the office and you explain to them their career in Minnesota for sure is going to be over, and there's a possibility it may be over for good, it can get emotional."
Spielman has final say over roster decisions, but Frazier said personnel matters are a collaborative effort with the coaching staff.
"Rick is going to give his input and I'm going to share my input, but he is going to make that final decision," Frazier said. "One of the things that he's learned and I've learned is that you don't want to make that decision about a player if the coaches, the head coach in particular, are totally against it. It's hard if as a coach, you have to get this guy going and so on and then you don't necessarily believe in it. It's a tough deal, but we've been very fortunate in our relationship where we can discuss every single guy, talk about what needs to be done and what's best for our football team. Whether it be the draft or whether it be the 75 or the 53, we have always been able to come to an agreement and make it work for our team."
Asked if he has a chip he can use if he wants a certain player, Frazier laughed.
Quick wrapup from the Metrodome, where the Vikings beat the Titans 24-23. Crowd was announced at 62,603, I'd say seats were 9-17ths occupied.
No Vikings starters played, but it was an entertaining game. Both teams punted once each, and it moved right along.
The only delay came when Vikings guard Seth Olsen was down for about 10 minutes after taking a knee to his helmet while blocking. He was strapped to a board and went off on a stretcher after being basically motionless. The Vikings announced a neck injury. Olsen was OK in the locker room afterward, going through his normal routine, but couldn't speak to the media because of the NFL's concussion protocol.
Other injuries: Bobby Felder, maybe in a battle for the reserve cornerback and No. 1 punt return spot with Marcus Sherels, left on the final play of the third quarter because of a right ankle spain. And defensive end D'Aundre Reed also sprained an ankle.
Sherels had a 109-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and an interception after missing Sunday's loss at San Francisco because of his father's funeral. Quite a comeback and quite a statement in his battle to make the team. Chip is writing about Sherels for the paper.
Coach Leslie Frazier said cuts will be discussed tomorrow and revealed Saturday. The team must get from 75 to 53 by 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Matt Asiata carried eight times for 32 yards and a 1-yard TD on the Vikings' opening offensive series. He was replaced by Joe Banyard, who carried 13 times for 62 yards and scored on an 11-yard pass from McLeod Bethel-Thompson. MBT was 19-for-26 for 187 yards and the TD, and had one picked.
Blair Walsh missed from 45 but made from 25 in the fourth quarter. The second, with 1:38 left, decided the game.
Desmond Bishop had a nice game at linebacker with seven tackles, two for loss.
Lots of hopeful faces in the locker room, but more than a few looks of resignation from the 30 or so players how have to worry about their jobs.
Banyard, a bubble guy, said if he makes the team "I might cry. I really might cry. I will definitely have to thank the good Lord, and then I'll just cry because I know this is where I want to be."
Joe Webb, the converted QB trying to make the team as a WR, said "I am going to get a peace of mind, and hopefully the coaches will make the right decision."
Former Minnesota State (Mankato) standout receiver Adam Thielen, a long shot to make the roster: "It has been awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. It has been a blast just being here."
The Vikings, who have their final preseason game against Tennessee tonight at 7 at the Metrodome, will have to cut their roster to 53 by 5 p.m. on Saturday.
The eight-man practice squad can be formed from eligible players after those players clear waivers. In general, practice squad-eligible players haven't been active for more than eight NFL games and can't be on the practice squad for more than two years. So, yeah, the Vikings can't stash Joe Webb on that practice squad, folks.
Here is the Vikings' unofficial depth chart. Feel free to make yourself part of the team's staff and figure out which 22 players you can whack to get to 53. Keep in mind you will have the practice squad, which means there are 61 guys around, but it's often hard for teams to sneak rookies through waivers, so be careful about your cuts.

Some Ortley Beach residents will be allowed to move back to their homes in early February under a plan announced Tuesday by Toms River Mayor Thomas Kelaher.
The township has prepared and submitted a letter to the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management requesting that the state of emergency declared for Hurricane Sandy be lifted and Ortley residents with all utilities in service at their properties be allowed to return home at 8 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4.
"Through meetings with New Jersey American Water, Toms River Municipal Utilities Authority, New Jersey Natural Gas and JCP&L, Mayor Kelaher has been assured that there service will be restored for most properties in the west and middle sections of Ortley by Feb. 4," reads a statement released by the township. "Portions of the eastern section of Ortley Beach from Route 35 north to the ocean may not ready for full service, although the water company has stated that there is potable drinking water for all homes that are connected to NJAW."
Some utility repairs continue to be made, though most work is coming to completion. According to the township, most of the west and middle zones are ready for sewage flow. The system is operational even though work continues on rebuilding three major pumping stations.
Areas of Ortley that can safely accept gas service have been re-pressurized. Repair to certain isolated gas mains in Ortley and resetting the meters will be complete by Feb. 1, with the exception of some properties east of Route 35 North.
JCP&L is working with the township on its master plan to rebuild their infrastructure for portions of Ortley east of Route 35 North; however the utility has finished restoring power to properties in Ortley that can safely accept service.
Township officials said that residents should make sure they have had the proper inspections before their utility services are turned on and are advised to contact the providers with any reconnection issues.
Kelaher said that residents should check with the township website's Ortley section to ensure they find the correct information regarding returning home.
Other barrier island residents were allowed to return home on Jan. 4, but officials said Ortley is not ready for full-time residents until utility and road repairs are completed.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Diner Reviews
The initial greeting, placement of
table, service, selections, wine, etc... were just fabulous. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and he was overwhelmed with the food presentation and taste, wine selections and service. We had a delightful evening. Thank you"
Dined on 7/25/2014
the carillon's menu is
sophisticated and ambitious but not fussy or pretentious. each dish is well executed and well presented with layers of flavor unfolding with every bite. it is always a pleasure to dine here and i've never been disappointed. given the high caliber of the staff, that will only happen if the concept of the restaurant changes."
Dined on 7/22/2014
We've been coming to Austin for
five years given our daughter attending college, and this has to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in this "foodie" city! We've already made several recommendations, and we'll be back. Ask for Table 46 (I think), in the middle of the restaurant, in view of the kitchen. Perfect spot!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
Order the Pork Belly. I've been to
the Carillon probably 3-4 times in the past year and have always had a great experience. Staff is amazing, and all food it top notch. Order the Pork Belly. It's always surprising to me that when I mention the Carillon to friends in town how many are still yet to try it. I need better friends. The place looks and feels very formal, but the entire crew working there all have wonderful personalities and combine culture with elegance. Last time, I was with a group of three and we ordered everything on the menu (all the items), and did a wine pairing. It made me feel like Columbus discovering America, or at least similar to Native Americans finding Buffalo. I enjoyed the feeling. Order the Pork Belly."
Dined on 7/19/2014
We visited the Carillon after
seeing an exhibit at The Blanton Museum. There is a scarcity of good restaurants in the immediate area. I had heard good things but I was very impressed. The service was formal and professional. The menu was short but the selections were outstanding. Even the taste profiles of the cheese plate were amazing. One of the finest meals I've had."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I took my 2 graduate research
assistants here for a thank you and a farewell. All 3 of us will remember the evening as a perfect blend of refinement, comfort, exquisite food beautifully presented, and superior wine we had never imagined existed. We decided on the 4 course dinner, with a recommendation by the wait-person to not choose desert as one of the 4, but to order one dessert for all of us to share at the end of the meal if we were still able to eat anything. So 2 of us had 1 starter and 3 mains; the other had 4 mains. Brilliant!!! The sommelier understood that we wanted a wine we would remember, not one that would just blend well with the food. Perfection there, too. And we did share a desert, with advice from a dessert expert."
Dined on 7/16/2014
French wine by the glass, ahi
tuna, prawns from Spain, fig and cheese plate and a spicy pineapple dessert from the Caribbean merged into a a fine dining experience. The half-priced, smaller portions are quite sufficient if you choose the fixed price offerings at the Carillon Room. If you're very hungry order the full entree. As always, this restaurant's service is warm, welcoming and educated as one would expect at the University of Austin. You have to go off the well-worn downtown paths in order to find the Carillon. That's a good thing. Avoid the traffic and the parking space shortage. The Carillon is elegantly tucked away at the AT&T Conference Center."
Dined on 7/15/2014
Last Saturday four of us went to
the Carillon. Although we ordered different items, all were excellent. The two bread selections were luscious. I ordered the four-course dinner and chose one from each course (salads, main, cheese, dessert). All were beautiful and delicious. Our wine, from their wine "book," was fine, as were the additional individual wines. Specifically, they offer large and small portions so you do not have to share. Their cheese plate was creative, with perfectly matching tastes. The wait staff was exceptional, including the sommelier. The ambience was perfect for an adult evening experience, and we did not have to wait for a table. Our meal was not inexpensive, but it was memorable and an excellent value."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The host was congenial, the
atmosphere one of casual elegance. The open kitchen area allowed us to watch as food was plated; that was a nice touch. I had the tasting offering with wine pairing and it was excellent. Oscar was our waiter and his recommendations were wonderful. My husband had the New York Strip, which was fabulous. The service was consistent, non-intrusive, and relaxed. This was an amazing dining experience for us."
Dined on 7/11/2014
Husband and I had one of the best
meals we have had in the past 10 years. Service was wonderful, excellent wine list and sommelier, 4 course dinner allowed us try a variety of choices. The attention to detail on every level is very impressive. We highly recommend this restaurant and are looking forward to returning soon."
Dined on 7/9/2014
We loved the whole experience. We
went for my partner's birthday. The Host asked if the evening was a special occasion and upon learning about the birthday, poured a glass of complimentary champagne for us We selected the 4-course and relied on the waiter for suggestions. He asked questions about our preferences and allergies. We had 8 courses to choose, and with his help, they were all fantastic! Ahi crudo, Grilled quail, mero, carrot risoto, scallops, a cheese plate with 3 excellent cheeses and 2 desserts a pineapple something with basil sorbet, and a goat cheese croquette! YUMMY!! The entire evening was wonderful, food was great, staff was very attentive but not intrusive. We will definitely return."
Dined on 7/8/2014
From the greeting, to the last
bite the experience all in all was great! Love the open kitchen!! Plating was nice, and food tasted amazing! Hamachi was my favorite!! The server was a little pushy when we didn't order two entrees, I understand upsaling but we were there for a lite dinner! He was still friendly thou!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Not to be snarky about Texas, but
we were astonished by the quality and presentation of the food here, the friendly, attentive service, the understated elegance of the room, the civilized ambiance, and the soothing peace and quiet of the entire experience. If you are heading to Austin and love excellent, imaginative food, go to Carillon."
Dined on 6/27/2014
We love going to Carillon for a
special event, birthdays, anniversaries. Always enjoyable, food wonderful and staff special."
Dined on 6/24/2014
I typically think of restaurants
inside hotels as being predictable and uninteresting. This one is just the opposite. Amazing food done and served in a creative and interesting fashion. We were going to an event and didn't have a lot of time. The restaurant is set up with multi course options sound accommodated our needs very well. I can't wait to go back when I have more time so I can enjoy the multi course options. Certainly one of the best restaurants in Austin."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Quiet, cozy, low light, well
dressed serve staff, well trained serve staff, delicious food, well timed food service, wonderful wine selection… I could not have been happier! The chef is creative employing flavor combinations that make your tastebuds dance. Have already recommended to several friends."
Dined on 6/13/2014
Every dish our table ordered was
delicious! We all had the four course tasting and chose a variety of dishes so that we could try a lot of things on the menu and none of the dishes disappointed. The service was fantastic. They all worked as a team to cater to us and make sure we had a memorable dining experience. The chef even sent out a complementary amuse bouche which was a perfect start to the dinner. It was a delicious cucumber avocado soup that was a perfect setup for the food that was to come. Highly recommended"
Dined on 6/7/2014
Furnishings were like the food:
unusual, functional, understated. Wine list was daunting until the author of said same offered his assistance. Great wine with very creatively constructed, meticulously prepared and served food selections. Pace of service was just a tad slower than expected but this may have been by design to support an unhurried special event."
Dined on 6/6/2014
The entire experience at The
Carillon was exceptional. From the time we were greeted and seated by maître d John to our final sip of coffee, we were treated to excellent service by the entire staff and our server Carolyn. Chef Watkins' menu concept and execution of the dishes by the kitchen was delicious. The Carillon and the staff are great. We'll be back."
Dined on 6/6/2014
Incredible service, superb food
and top notch cocktails. We all got the prefix choose 4 dishes for $50 and shared. I don't think any of us had a bad bite of food all night. The staff (from the maître de to the waiter to the food runners) was just amazing. Very knowledgable and attentive without being annoying. Professionals. We will definitely be back for a special occasion in the future. "
Dined on 6/6/2014
Our son made a reservation for us
as we are new to Austin. We were celebrating our anniversary and he made it extra special with this reservation! The food was wonderful! We would recommend to anyone looking for great food and enjoyable dining experience!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
I love this place! We opted for
the four course meal and were not disappointed! It was the perfect amount of food even though the waiter said the courses are small. The pork belly was unbelievable and the New York strip was amazing! Dessert was on an entirely different level than the already excellent entree. I ordered the chocolate ganache which was covered with a layer of peppermint and chocolate rocks. I will definitely return to his hidden gem of a restaurant. "
Dined on 6/4/2014
Our waiter, Eric, was amazing at
helping us with the food selections! He was very knowledgeable and gave us the best advice for the wonderful pairing of foods! It was a beautiful evening for the best food and the best service we have had in a long time!"
Dined on 6/4/2014
No doubt one of, if not the best
dining experiences I have ever had. I would have to think long and hard to recall something that wasn't absolutely perfect. I did the four course meal, starting with grilled romaine which was fabulous. Followed that with the Steak Tartar, then moved on to the Meso which was an excellent Sea Bass dish and then tried the Lamb chops. For desert, I had a goat cheese croquet with Sorbet -- I'm not much of a desert person, but this was really mild and not too sweet which was very enjoyable to me. The waiters were great, so very considerate and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was delightful, very nice for a special evening with whomever you are there with. I can not recommend The Carillon enough. Please go! "
Dined on 5/29/2014
This was our first time at
Carillon and it was outstanding. The service we received from Oscar and the maitre d was excellent. The maitre d came and talked to us after the meal and when he found out that my husband's birthday was in a few weeks he poured us each a glass of champagne. The interior is so tastefully done, with a real sense of history. The food was really top notch from the Thai Hamachi to the lamb, then an excellent cheese course and chocolate ganache dessert. It was a very lovely, grown-up meal."
Dined on 5/28/2014
We really enjoyed our evening at
Carillon. The 4-course menu was perfect!"
Dined on 5/22/2014
We were very excited to try Chef
Josh Watkins' food for the first time and it did not disappoint. The flavors and textures were thoughtfully exquisite without being fussy. We will definitely be back to celebrate special occasions."

This is one of our favorite
special event restaurants. The food is always top notch, the atmosphere is quiet and elegant."
Dined on 5/17/2014
A huge thumbs up to the lovely
Carillon Restaurant in the AT&T Center, the nicest place to eat anywhere near the UT campus! This is not your typical hotel restaurant, but a beautiful and serene oasis on the UT campus w/ a sophisticated menu. Each of our courses was creative and delicious and truly one of the best meals I've had in Austin...and I've been eating here all my life! The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. It is a calm place that is great for groups or those wishing to have an elegant meal and actually hear each other talking. It would a wonderful spot to celebrate a special occasion! "
Dined on 5/17/2014
I highly recommend this
restaurant. The large arches and open kitchen set the stage for a lively dining experience. We began with the hamachi that was unbelievable. Then i moved to the grilled romaine salad and rack of lamb. Others at the table had Mero, prawns or NY Strip ( I tried a taste of the strip and it was fabulous). Several chefs cook the products well, what distinguishes this place is the sauces. They added some much flavor, but not over powering, that we were still talking about it the next day. We paired this with a great Syrah from Shafer called Relentless that perfect. I give high praises for the chef, wait staff and experience. My only complaint is they didn't have espresso, but I'm still coming back!"
Dined on 5/15/2014
We went there for our daughter's
graduation and the food was not up to what we expected for the price. The steak our son ordered was woefully undercooked."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Even if it is a bit hidden within
University of Texas, Carillon's food is excellent and the space is gorgeous with its high ceilings and rounded archways. The service that night seemed a bit clumsy, even with only few people in the restaurant. We found it a bit strange that the staff would sit a single diner at a table directly next to our table even though there was no one else in that section. A visit to Carillon requires some planning if you do not have a vehicle, due to Austin's notable lack of public transportation."
Dined on 5/9/2014
Great food, well prepared and
innovative. Great atmosphere. Perfect atmosphere for conversation. Attentive -- but not too attentive -- service. Overall a wonderful experience. A gem inside the UT hotel!"
Dined on 5/7/2014
My husband and I had a fabulous
dining experience while celebrating our 30th anniversary. The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. This was our first time at this restaurant and we will go back. "
Dined on 5/3/2014
It is a very nice place, with
delicious food. I had some friends visiting from another country, and everybody was very pleased and impressed. My only complain is that the 5-course and 7-course dinners were not available. It was a big disappointment. I work in UT and went during the day to ask -in person- about these menus and I was offered the option of these 5 and 7 courses. Unfortunately, it was a slow night and the restaurant decided on the spot to have only the 4 course menu. The quality of the food was great, and at the end was a very pleasant experience. We have to come back to try the other options. We ended up paying 560 for 6 adults, including some nice California wine and cocktails. We felt that it was a great deal!"
Dined on 5/2/2014
After due diligence hunting for a
great place to dine while stopping in Austin for one day of business, we choose Carillon (Named after the bells in the UT bell tower) at the UT conference center. Everything on the menu sounded great so we went with the 7 course chef tasting. I really appreciated the regional influences throughout the meal. Our table had a kitchen view; the team worked quietly and efficiently ( no television theatrics here) to present our meal with enough time to savor each presentation and enjoy conversation, but not so long between courses to loose our appetite. The whole staff was knowledgeable and personable. The service was superb. This is one UT destination this Aggie will visit again."
Dined on 4/23/2014
This was probably the best dining
experience we've ever encountered. We did the four course dining and it was perfect. Very romantic setting. The staff was amazing and the food was even better."
Dined on 4/4/2014
The quality of ingredients and
skilled applied to them at Carillon is impressive. This is a great choice for a relaxing fine dining evening. We chose the 7 course option, it took about 3 hours. We enjoyed every bit of it. Fantastic fine dining experience."
Dined on 4/4/2014
We dined there the first week of
their new tasting menu. The new menu was a great surprise. Lots of fun. The pricing was a bit expensive, but we expected this, and it was worth while."
Dined on 4/4/2014
An outstanding dining experience.
My wife, a friend and I ate here before a concert in the area. My wife had the miso marinated mero and loved it. My friend had the N.Y. strip steal and asked for it medium rare; he thought it was a little too rare and said he would probably ask for it medium if he had it to do over. I had the pork chop with cherry polenta; the pork chop was very good as well. We shared a bottle of Ben Marco Malbec which was good enough that both my wife and my friend commented on how much they liked it. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, crème brulee, and the chocolate and banana terrine. And, once again, were excellent. In addition the service was superb; attentive but not obtrusive. Excellent knowledge of the menu."

The steady stream of newer, faster, and more accurate technologies provides physicians with powerful tools to diagnose and treat diseases ranging from broken bones to heart disease to cancer.
But these technologies can drastically inflate medical costs when they are
owned by physicians who refer their own patients for tests and treatments, or
unnecessarily used by doctors who fear legal liability.
In this environment, maintaining quality and safety while reducing expense requires robust, clinically correct specialty benefit management.
HealthHelp achieves these goals by working with board-certified subspecialists affiliated with leading universities, such as Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Washington, to develop appropriateness guidelines consistent with the latest medical literature. These respected peer experts also consult with physicians when the tests or treatment plans they order diverge from evidence-based criteria.

The Minarets High Mustangs (1-4) got into the win column in a big way last Friday with a 41-6 homecoming win over Orosi (1-4).
The team was led onto the field by the Minarets equestrian team, featuring six horses prancing to the sound of Hank Williams Jr's "Are You Ready For Some Football?"
From the opening kick-off, the Mustangs dominated the Cardinals as they drove the length of the field in four plays, capped by a 26-yard touchdown run by Sam Reyes. By the half, they had the game well in hand with a commanding 35-0 lead.
Minarets had five rushing TDs from 231 rushing yards. Reyes scored two TDs a 25-yard run and a two-yarder. He finished the game with 49 yards on three carries.
Junior Zak Clayton added two TD's a 13-yard run and an eight-yard run. Senior quarterback Keenan Reardon scored on a quarterback sneak from two-yards out.
Clayton led the ground attack with 76 yards on eight carries, but was lost in the third quarter following an injury and is expected to miss the next two games.
Senior Angel Saenz contributed 55 yards on eight carries, and senior Mitch Pritchett added 40 yards on six carries. Pritchett had a 26-yard punt return in which the powerful runner shed eight tackles before Orosi brought him down, giving the Mustangs great field possession on the Orosi 40 yard line. Minarets went on to score.
The defense got into the scoring column following a blocked field goal attempt. Sophomore Mason Ellis blocked the kick, picked up the ball, and scampered 91 yards for the score.
Minarets came into the game surrendering 41 points a contest, but the defense stepped up controlling the line of scrimmage throughout the game. Orosi's run game was nonexistent.
Their passing game didn't fair much better as quarterback Tyler Villareal was hurried all night by a relentless Mustang rush which had three sacks on the night.
Nose guard Hunter Hatleli along with Tackles Daniel Lynch, Matt Niblett and "Big" Jake Blankenship, 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, played their best game of the season.
Mustangs kicker Chance Carter kept the Cardinals deep in their own territory throughout the game, recording five touchbacks.
"I'm proud of the players for having continually gotten better until it finally showed on the scoreboard tonight," said Bob Kelly, head coach. "We're learning how to play good football and our running game is getting better. We almost had 300 yards rushing for the second week in a row as our line is getting to know the finer points of our offense."
Kelly said all five running backs (Saenz, Pritchett, Clayton, Reyes, and Kyle Reed) played well and Daniel Lynch, Nate Lopez, and Austin Nelson blocked well up front.
"Our defense is also learning how to play with urgency and the fact that we had a shutout until late in the game shows we're getting better," Mason Ellis' blocked field goal and big touchdown return was the play of the game as it gave us a two score lead." Chance (Carter) is as good a kicker as I've had in 25 years of coaching."
The Mustangs JV squad rolled to a 41-7 win against the Cardinals. Running back Luke Tovar, a freshman, ran for 285 all purpose yards and two TDs. Holden Cordel added two more rushing TDs and quarterback Luke Pritchett hit Jacob Walker for two TDs.
"All our tools are coming around, from blocking to running, to passing, to tackling," said Coach Bob Tovar. "We are firing on all cylinders and it's showing on the scoreboard. The boys are fundamentally sound and peaking just in time for league play."
Caruthers Friday
The Mustangs will need a repeat performance if they hope to compete with the Caruthers Blue Raiders (2-3) this Friday. Caruthers is currently second in the West Sequoia standings. It will be the toughest, most physical, game of the season for the Mustangs but it couldn't come at a better time.
A big win would give the Mustangs momentum going into league play, facing the lightest part of their schedule.
Game times: JV, 5 p.m. varsity, 7:30 p.m.

Reporting from Sacramento — California voters strongly support Gov. Jerry Brown's new proposal to increase the sales tax and raise levies on upper incomes to help raise money for schools and balance the state's budget, according to a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.
Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said they supported the governor's measure, which he hopes to place on the November ballot. It would hike the state sales tax by a quarter-cent per dollar for the next four years and create a graduated surcharge on incomes of more than $250,000 that would last seven years. A third of respondents opposed the measure.

I wouldn't call myself crafty in any sense of the word. I'm terrible at gift wrapping. I know that when my husband and I have children we will most likely have to get our presents wrapped or else the kids will discover "gee, Santa wraps presents like mom," and after watching numerous demonstrations and YouTube videos, I still cannot successfully tie a tie.
