So for our final game to cover this season we decided to go to Cedar Grove to watch the Rockets and Oostburg Flying Dutchmen play for the CLC championship. Originally we were going to be at the North/South rivalry game, but with all due respect to both programs (one of which I'm an alumni of), there was too much on the line in the Rocket/Dutchman game to miss out on it. Both teams were 4-0 and unbeaten in conference, winner takes the CLC championship and likely a #1 seed in the WIAA brackets. To say that we were not disappointed would be an understatement. The final 14 minutes of this matchup were borderline epic. Rockets led 24-6 going into the final quarter. Game over right? Wrong. Oostburg gets a TD early in the 4th, and a 2 point conversion to make it 24-14. Then, on the next drive, the Rockets get down to the Dutchman 4 yard line, 1st and goal with 8 minutes left. Game over right? Wrong again. Dutchman make a stand and get the ball back to their offense. Only problem is there's 5 minutes left and they have to go 96 yards to get a touchdown and that still leaves them down three points. Well in a blink the Dutchman do just that. in less than 2 minutes they end up scoring on a 75 yard TD pass from Parker Gabrielse to Jake Hurlbutt to make it 24-20. Oostburg goes for the onside kick with under 3 minutes left. And gets it. On the drive after the recovery they face not one, but TWO, 4th and longs and convert both! Eventually scoring a touchdown to take the lead 27-24. Only problem is, there's still 1:20 left on the clock. Rockets take the kickoff back to their 44 yard line. Next play Drew Emperley hits Logan Peterson at the Dutchman 37, and when Peterson was shoved out, a 15 yard facemask penalty. In the span of 9 game seconds, the Rockets are at the Oostburg 22. Eventually they would score with 30 seconds left to take a 32-27 lead (two point converstion). Oostburg had a few last gasps but ultimately a deep throw was intercepted, game over.
Now how the Rockets could get back up off the deck after seeing a 24-6 lead with 12 minutes left evaporate is a credit to their resolve. How Oostburg dug down to even make it the game it was was astonishing. So the Rockets get the #1 seed and will host Octonto. Oostburg gets a #4 seed and will host Bonduel. And if both win? We all win! They'd play again in the second round.

Our Mission
At BerryBreeze, we feel a great sense of stewardship for the environment and a responsibility to help protect it. Our mission is to help heal our oceans, air, and earth, while dramatically increasing the longevity and nutrition of food. In short, our goal is to advance the health, well-being and lifespan of humanity.
Our Story
Our purpose at BerryBreeze is to promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles that increase the life and longevity of people everywhere. We're a dedicated team who share the same passion for innovation and environmental stewardship. It's the pursuit of those passions that led us to create BerryBreeze, a product that makes living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle easier than ever.
High in the mountains of planet Earth, an ocean of the purest, most pristine air in the world fills ancient valleys and laps against weathered peaks. It is in this primordial environment that the freshest herbs, most nutritious berries, tastiest fruits and healthful plants grow wild and free. At that high elevation, far away from human industry and pollution, oxygen is at its peak and the air itself is a life-giving nectar that allows both flora and fauna to thrive.
Like a breath of cool mountain air, BerryBreeze oxygenates, cleans and reinvigorates the fruits, vegetables, and food that you store at home, extending both their life and their freshness while preserving their nutritional benefits. BerryBreeze extends the life and longevity of your food, and that in turn extends the life and longevity of you.
Food waste is a worldwide epidemic. It is also a large contributor to methane emissions globally. Humans waste so much edible food from farm to fork to landfill, that if we were able to save just a small percentage of that, it would make great strides towards ending world hunger. When you don't use the food you've bought, you need to drive to the store and buy more to replace it. Wasted food, discarded packaging, the gas used to drive back and forth to the grocery store – all of these things hurt our environment.
We developed BerryBreeze to help families keep food fresh for longer periods of time. That lets us reduce the amount of packaging we consume and to use more of the food we buy. BerryBreeze helps people live a more environmentally friendly life. But while we care about our carbon footprint, we also care about our health – which is why the BerryBreeze is designed to help neutralize harmful organisms like mold and bacteria. It can be hard to keep your fridge stocked with fresh organic food. We know, because we live healthy lifestyles ourselves.
Our team created BerryBreeze so that families across the world could eat healthier diets on a smaller budget. The healthier we eat, the less prone we are to illness and disease, and that means that we can live longer, more fulfilling lives. When you realize what a profound effect a single gadget can have on the Earth and on the lives of people everywhere, you'll begin to see why we're so passionate about what we do. We're not just a company – we're a community. Our "green team" is always growing, and there are plenty of ways to get involved, including our affiliate and distributor programs.
BerryBreeze provides an uncomplicated solution, based in science and nature, packaged in efficient technology. Activated oxygen (O3), both protects the upper atmosphere from radiation and purifies and sanitizes the air in our lower atmosphere. In a refrigerator or storage space, activated oxygen neutralizes bacteria, mold, and other microbes by inhibiting ethylene gas that triggers decay. This keeps food in a "living" stage 2-3 times longer than normal, staying fresh and odor-free.
Activated oxygen consists of three oxygen atoms. It is created either when ultraviolet light or electricity break down the oxygen molecule into two single oxygen atoms, each of which quickly attach to two more oxygen atoms (O2). It is an unstable gas whose half-life is approximately 30 minutes. While stable, the third oxygen molecule fights to break free, destroying polluting organic molecules by "oxidizing" them. The third oxygen atom attaches, eliminating pollutants, effectively disinfecting and deodorizing.
BerryBreeze is battery-operated and uses a patented timing sequence that releases a consistent level of activated oxygen. In two studies commissioned by the FDA, internationally-recognized activated oxygen experts Dr. Dee Graham and Dr. Rip Rice determined that limited regular exposure to activated oxygen posed no risk to humans and enhanced the shelf-life of other organic materials. It is equally effective in refrigerators, practically all storage units, and small, uninhabited areas.
Using BerryBreeze also has a positive effect on the planet. Food waste is a large component of solid waste and a large portion of methane emissions. BerryBreeze™ is the clear choice for both home and global wellness.

Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 —
2:4 I increased my possessions: 26
I built houses for myself; 27
I planted vineyards for myself.
2:5 I designed 28 royal gardens 29 and parks 30 for myself,
and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
2:6 I constructed pools of water for myself,
to irrigate my grove 31 of flourishing trees.
2:7 I purchased male and female slaves,
and I owned slaves who were born in my house; 32
I also possessed more livestock – both herds and flocks –
than any of my predecessors in Jerusalem. 33
2:8 I also amassed silver and gold for myself,
as well as valuable treasures 34 taken from kingdoms and provinces. 35
I acquired male singers and female singers for myself,
and what gives a man sensual delight 36 – a harem of beautiful concubines! 37
2:9 So 38 I was far wealthier 39 than all my predecessors in Jerusalem,
yet I maintained my objectivity: 40
2:10 I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; 41
I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. 42
So all my accomplishments gave me joy; 43
this was my reward for all my effort. 44
2:11 Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished 45
and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, 46
I concluded: 47 "All these 48 achievements and possessions 49 are ultimately 50 profitless51 –
like chasing the wind!Matthew 6:19-21 —
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
About the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."
He also says,
"In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."

Philippians 4
Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity
1 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Final Exhortations
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.*
*(Here's the beauty of the New Testament/New Covenant - this blessing is available to not just the Jews, but to Gentiles [everyone], too! Rid yourselves of anxiety, and through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, you will obtain a peace from God that surpasses ALL understanding/human comprehension! And by telling us at the end of v. 5 that 'The Lord is near', Paul is letting us know we should be urgent in rejoicing, letting our gentleness be evident to all, and cutting out our anxiety and receiving His peace.)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.*
*(I love verses 8-9. Here Paul tells us a few other ways to obtain God's supernatural peace. Some nonbelievers may argue that they believe pornography, for example, is right, lovely, and admirable to them. I'm sure they think it is if their eyes are not fixed on Jesus. But the word I love here is 'pure'. Abstaining from pornography is a perfect example of a step towards purity in the eyes of God and this wording is just another example that the perfect words were chosen for our present-day Bible. The text here was not reflected from Paul's personal theology but was written by Paul through the influence and breath (2 Timothy 3:16) of God's Holy Spirit.)
Thanks for Their Gifts
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.*
*(In my Bible, I wrote this prayer down pertaining to verses 11-13: "Lord, provide me with that v. 11-13 mentality! I want and need to be content no matter what the circumstances." We all need to be pursuing and praying for such a mentality! With the peace we have learned how to obtain in verses 4-9, being content, no matter what the circumstances, can and will come much easier. The ever so popular v. 13 may seem cliché, but it is so true! God, and God alone, gives us the strength to drop our anxiety, pray and petition in thanksgiving to Him, receive His peace that is above all understanding, and finally to be content whatever the circumstances.)
14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.*
*(Verse 18 is yet another example of Paul's remarkable contentedness. Let's remember that at the time this letter was written to Philippi, Paul was imprisoned in Rome. Still, while in shackles, he was rejoicing in the Lord and was blessed with a content heart. Next, verse 19 is a humbling verse. Too often I find myself doubting God when my 'wants' aren't provided. I chuckle after feeling this way, because I know according to the riches of the glory of Jesus Christ, my 'needs' (which are far more important than my 'wants') will be provided and that's really all I 'need'.)
20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
21 Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings. 22 All God's people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Plymouth Harbor is still without its main attraction, a replica of the Mayflower. But by the time the community celebrates the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims' landing, the harbor may hold two of the ships.
A group in Harwich, a small seaside town on England's east coast, is building its own replica of the Mayflower, and plans to sail it to America in 2020 to help the community reclaim its piece of history. Plymouth, England, is widely regarded as the Pilgrims' port of departure, but Harwich is where the original Mayflower was built and, some argue, is the true starting point of the journey that ended in Massachusetts in 1620.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Members of the Bucknell University Hurricane Katrina recovery team will present the multimedia program, "Mississippi Moments," Monday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell.
The presentation, which is open to the public without charge, is co-sponsored by the Office of the President and the Office of the Provost.
Twenty-five volunteers spent a long week in January helping the small community of Waveland, on the Gulf Coast. Considered ground zero for one of the nation's greatest natural disasters, this town of 7,000 people had only 35 habitable homes following the storm.
"Come hear about what we did to help residents rebuild their lives and offer much-needed hope," said Janice Butler, director of the Office of Service-Learning.
"Students and staff will share photos, describe what it was like in this devastated area and discuss what remains to be done," she said.
For more information, contact the Office of Service-Learning at 577-3973.

Continued Shortage of Chemotherapy Drugs Causing Concern
A serious shortage of commonly used chemotherapy drugs that began several years ago and worsened in 2010 is taking a toll on medical facilities and causing concerns among patients and doctors alike, according to representatives from government and professional groups. The continued shortfall is part of a more widespread shortage of drugs, including those frequently used in anesthesia and to treat dangerous infections, and has raised anxiety about patient care and clinical trials in which the drugs, many of them generic, are important components of treatment.
"We've heard a crescendo of complaints and concerns," said Dr. Michael Link, a pediatric oncologist from the Stanford University School of Medicine and president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). It's not possible to quantify the extent of the impact on patient care, Dr. Link noted, but, based on what's known, "it's the worst shortage we've experienced in three decades. In terms of scope, it's huge."
All of the chemotherapy drugs involved in the shortage are in a category known as sterile injectables, explained Valerie Jensen, associate director of the Drug Shortage Program in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Sterile injectables, in fact, account for 77 percent of the overall shortage.
Although production and quality issues have been chief reasons for the shortage, the problem can also be traced back to the business realities of manufacturing pharmaceuticals, Ms. Jensen explained via e-mail. This is particularly the case for sterile injectable chemotherapy drugs.
She explained that there used to be an adequate number of manufacturers for many of these sterile injectable drugs, but in recent years many of these companies have opted to stop producing the drugs "in favor of newer, more profitable products," Ms. Jensen continued, "since firms have a limited number of production lines and can only make a certain number of products on the lines they have."
For example, although eight companies had approval to produce leucovorin at one point, until very recently only two companies were still manufacturing the drug. The FDA recently granted another company approval to begin producing leucovorin, Ms. Jensen noted.
Cooperatively Tackling the Problem
In November, spurred by the extent of the problem and the lack of any relief in sight, ASCO co-sponsored a meeting with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), and the American Society of Anesthesiologists to analyze the causes of the shortage, how best to address it, and how to prevent or mitigate such problems in the future. Officials from NCI and the FDA—who, like officials from ASHP, are closely tracking the shortage and have a Web site that is updated daily with new information on the status of the drugs in short supply—attended the summit. A report of the proceedings was released on January 10.
In the meantime, medical facilities and providers are doing their best to deal with the shortages. It's clear, however, that the situation is taking a toll, particularly on smaller practices and centers. According to an ISMP survey of 1,800 health care professionals conducted in September, the risk of medical errors is on the rise as hospitals and other health care facilities cope with issues such as dosing or frequency of administration when forced by the shortage to use alternative drugs. More than one-third of respondents said the shortage had led to a medical error that could have harmed a patient.
For example, the drug etoposide, which is used to treat a number of cancers, including lung cancer, has been in short supply on and off for nearly 2 years. Of the four companies that manufacture it, only one has been able to cite a reason—manufacturing problems.
Typically the intravenous formulation of etoposide is preferred, explained Dr. Ali McBride, a clinical oncology pharmacist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Because of the shortage, however, oncologists frequently have been forced to resort to the oral formulation, "and that has led to dosing problems," Dr. McBride said. Etoposide is also used for patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplants, including children. In several cases, Dr. McBride said, treatments had to be delayed because the drug wasn't available.
The shortage of two other commonly used chemotherapy agents, doxorubicin and cisplatin, is also emerging "as a real problem," said Dr. Link. "Doxorubicin is very widely used, so the impact is enormous," he continued, particularly because for a number of diseases, such as metastatic breast cancer, sarcomas, and lymphomas, doxorubicin is a mainstay of treatment. "Clinical trials have shown it to be a major part of the improvement in outcome," he said.
With cisplatin, the biggest concern has been in testicular cancer, where its use is directly related to the extremely good survival rates seen with chemotherapy. The alternative, carboplatin, "lowers the cure rate in young men with testicular cancer by 10 to 15 percent," explained Dr. Lawrence Einhorn of the Indiana University School of Medicine in a recent ASCO interview.
If a drug is in very short supply, it is typically reserved for patients who stand to benefit the most. In most cases, Dr. McBride said, "the priority is patients for whom the therapy is curative."
The shortage's impact on medical facilities appears to vary by facility type, noted Bona Benjamin, ASHP's director of medication-use quality improvement. "Organizations like ambulatory infusion centers that don't have the usage volume of large hospitals may receive proportionately less drug," she explained, so some of them are feeling the shortage more acutely than larger medical centers.
Impact on Clinical Trials
Cancer clinical trials are also being affected by the shortage, although the full extent of the impact is unclear. NCI has been advising its clinical trials cooperative groups on how to proceed when a drug that is part of a treatment protocol is in short supply or not available at all.
"The highest priority when shortages occur is to ensure that all patients currently enrolled in the trial are treated appropriately," explained Dr. Margaret Mooney of NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis. Federal regulations allow for trial leaders to deviate from the research protocol to ensure patient safety if there is an immediate hazard, such as when an essential component of the protocol therapy is not available. Those treatment modifications must be documented and communicated to the study patients and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) overseeing the trial, Dr. Mooney said.
For new patients, she continued, trial sites must work with their local pharmacists to determine if they expect to have an adequate supply of the agents being used in the trial. If they don't, accrual of new patients is temporarily halted. In cases where a shortage is expected to be prolonged, investigators may amend trial protocols—with IRB review and approval—when there are acceptable alternatives. That is handled on a trial-by-trial basis, Dr. Mooney said.
"It's not a crisis, but we certainly have felt the effects," said Dr. Jan Buckner of the Mayo Clinic and chair of the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG). The cooperative group hasn't been forced to stop any of its trials because of the shortage, Dr. Buckner noted, "but we have had to identify alternative regimens that we felt were therapeutically equivalent."
The shortage has also forced NCCTG to be vigilant about having sufficient drugs on hand at trial sites before enrolling patients in a trial. "We've gotten calls from some of our sites asking for assistance with identifying suppliers [or] sharing drugs," Dr. Buckner continued. "And our local pharmacies and institutions have been working cooperatively to ensure they have enough supplies on hand."
Although lack of a drug in a study can slow or stop accrual to a clinical trial, Dr. Link said, the "looming problem" could be the analysis of data from trials in which many patients, because of a shortage, had to receive a drug that was not part of the original protocol. At this point, Dr. Mooney stressed, it's very difficult to say how the shortage will affect the analysis of trials that had to rely heavily on alternative regimens.
Looking forward, said Dr. Link, several common themes and suggested fixes emerged from the November summit on the shortage. Although some will require legislation or regulatory changes, others are more straightforward: "We definitely need to improve communication between the FDA, the drug manufacturers, and the suppliers," he said.
As the global burden of cancer grows and the market for commonly used cancer drugs expands, Dr. McBride stressed, all of the stakeholders need to remain focused on this issue.

Zero percent introductory balance transfer credit cards offer you the opportunity to trade a high interest rate on an existing credit card debt balance for no interest payments on a new card. Sound too good to be true? It's not. Zero percent balance transfers are legitimate credit card offers that can greatly benefit certain customers. The keys are knowing what to look for in a balance transfer offer, and how to use one effectively so you don't get deeper in debt.
But a balance transfer credit card will likely make more sense than a cash back rebate, travel or gas credit card, since any reward benefit from those cards would likely be quickly eaten away if you revolve your balance. However, it's important to understand that these credit card offers have features that differ considerably from one card to the next. Also keep in mind that an offer that makes sense for one customer's situation might be a bad idea for another customer.
The better you understand 0% balance transfer offers, the greater your chances of making them work to your advantage.
Elements of zero percent balance transfer offers
A zero percent introductory balance transfer offer allows you to take an existing balance from one credit card, and transfer it to the new card while paying no interest on that balance for a specified period of time. As straightforward as that sounds, there are a number of variables involved in these offers:
- The zero percent interest period. The period for which the credit card will forgo charging interest is limited, and that time limit can vary from one offer to another.
- The balance transfer fee. The credit card may be charging no interest on those transfers, but there is usually a one-time, upfront fee for making the transfer.
- Interest rate on new purchases. Even though balance transfers will be free from interest for a while, interest on new purchases may kick in immediately.
- Interest rate on transferred balances. Eventually, those balances will start to be charged interest, and this interest rate may be higher than the interest rate for new purchases.
- Credit limit. As with any credit card, there will be a limit on how much you can charge, and your balance transfers will immediately cut into this limit.
- Miscellaneous fees. Be aware of any other fees the credit card charges.
Be sure you get information on all these variables before acting on any balance transfer offer.
When it makes sense
Balance transfers make the most sense when they are part of a plan to reduce your credit card debt over time. If you have been carrying a balance, gaining a temporary reprieve from interest on that balance can certainly make it easier to pay down principal.
Ideally, if you can time your schedule for paying down your balance so that it coincides with the zero percent interest period on the card, you don't have to concern yourself with what the balance transfer interest rate will be once it kicks in. The longer the zero percent interest period, the more time you have to pay down your debt before you start racking up interest.
What to watch out for
Here are some things to be concerned about when considering a zero percent balance transfer:
- Very short pay-down periods. If you are planning on paying off the balance in a few months, the balance transfer fee might exceed the money you save on interest.
- Very long pay-down periods. At the other extreme, if you don't have a realistic plan for paying down your balance by the end of the zero percent interest period, then you might ultimately find that you've traded up to a higher interest rate. Also, you'll simply be shuffling your debt around rather than really addressing it.
- High new purchase interest rates. If the interest rate for purchases on the new card is significantly higher than on your old card, you'll want to make sure you don't diminish the savings on the balance transfer by racking up more expensive new charges.
Taking the next steps
If you think you can benefit from a zero percent balance transfer offer, here are some steps for moving forward:
- Do some comparison shopping before you apply. Use the resources on IndexCreditCards.com to compare offers. Remember that turning in a credit card application can affect your credit score, so be selective about applying for cards.
- Figure out a game plan for paying down your balance. Use the zero percent interest period as a deadline for your debt reduction plan.
- Make your transfers on time. The zero percent offer may apply only to transfers made shortly after the card is activated, so make sure you don't miss your opportunity.
Used properly, zero percent introductory balance transfer offers can be a good tool for reducing your credit expenses. Make sure to do your research and find the best balance transfer option for you. This in turn can help with the ultimate goal of paying down your credit card debt.

Mourinho defends Chelsea's gift penalty vs. West Brom
(Photo: Action Images)
West Brom were robbed of their first win at Stamford Bridge in 35 years on a controversial late penalty call Saturday.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Ramires went down in the box after bumping into Baggies defender Steven Reid. There was contact, but quite clearly no foul. It actually seems like Ramires started to fall before making any contact with Reid. Referee Andre Marriner took a few seconds before pointing to the spot, Eden Hazard stepped up, and coolly slotted home to tie the game, 2-2.
A gift, everyone would agree. Except Jose Mourinho, of course.
"Yes, I think it was a penalty. I watched it from different angles. I'm sure it was a penalty," said Mourinho, who on the late goal remained unbeaten at home as Chelsea manager.
Hate him or love him, you've got to admire "The Special One" for his guts, to say outrageous things like this. Even better, Mourinho then began complaining about the officials, suggesting that Chelsea were actually the ones wronged!
Mourinho said Marriner had "a very unhappy game" and that "[West Brom's] second goal was a big mistake by the ref" He claimed Chelsea should have gotten a free kick before the second goal, and that the Blues should never have been down.
Mourinho trying to spin another story? That's so unlike him!

1. Newt's new gigs:
One of my favorite side stories of last year's presidential campaign had to do with the details that emerged about all the money Newt Gingrich had been making in recent years from speeches, books and lobbying (which he insisted was merely consulting or "advocacy"). As I wrote at the time , Gingrich's release of his tax returns (when he was taunting Mitt Romney to do the same) was so intriguing because most of his $3.1 million in 2011 income was derived from something called Gingrich Holdings Inc. This was the clearinghouse for his various activities, and it presented him ample opportunity to get tax breaks by routing all kinds of personal expenses through his private corporation. It was an only-in-Washington success story.
With his losing campaign having diminished whatever luster Gingrich might have had, it would be interesting to see whether and how he and his wife, Calista, have revived Newt Inc. Washington seems to be a place where even the politicians pushed furthest to the sidelines can make a good living off of who they once were, who they know and, in the case of books and speeches, their true believers. Gingrich post-2012 puts that theory to a new and interesting test.
What kind of gigs has the former speaker lined up? Where has he been making the rounds trying to land "consulting" retainers? Who's turned him down and who's signed him up?
And while we're contemplating the fate of pols pushed offstage, can't someone get the scoop on what Mitt Romney is up to?
2. Watching the Sandy money:
With the Senate following the House of Representatives this week in passing a $50 billion aid package aimed at repairing the damage done by hurricane Sandy, it's time for the New York and New Jersey press to gear up and follow all that money. It's the kind of story the New York Post is usually good at, but everyone should be on the case.

Confused? Why is this in the Bike Accessories section?
Smoto's and Jaffa's replies were reasonable and didn't warrant your rude reply. Since you claim to know the Highway Code it sounds like you're looking for a loophole which will permit you to cross a solid white line to go past lines of traffic with impunity. There isn't one.
Momentary transgressions may be part of filtering but you have to balance urgency against safety and the risk of getting caught; and accept the consequences. The solid white line warns of an oncoming danger. Assuming your chosen speed means you won't be able to prevent a collision by braking, a swerve into oncoming traffic isn't a great backup plan.

have to agree there guys,,a solid white line (which i was told many years ago by my "star rider course,lol) is to be treated as a solid brick wall !!!. these white lines are put there for a reason,ie,,,it is deemed unsafe to overtake,what ever the reason,ie series of bends,entrances etc,,call them what you like,but it all takes time and money to implement these,-for instance,the area is deemed to be a accident blackspot/area,,the council will put notices up to let people know that there will be disruption for the markings ,possible temp traffic lights while the work is being carried out,the road marking vehicle is a specialist bit of kit (an not cheap),usually 2/3 guys ,so all this is not just done willy nilly,,its done for a reason!!,,,its just not worth the risk is it?,sit back enjoy it,take in the scenery,,,,cant beat it!!!.

And Anticipation is what's Lacking in your approach to this subject (that & you're not interested in the replies that put you at fault). Don't charge up to/past vehicles whilst on a carriageway with a solid white line, approach Smoothly using your road position to demonstrate your intention to pass whilst remaining on Your side of the white line (wouldn't indicate as that may confuse), assess whether the driver/rider is aware of your presence or at the very least is able to control their vehicle well enough to allow safe passage past. Occasionally an ignorant driver will try to block you, shit happens! When you meet one of these t*$#s if your approach speed is correct they will move their road position to Block you, if You're travelling Too Fast this manoever will occur whilst you're alongside them!
Quite agree there's a lot of poorly thought out road markings/furniture out there, there's numpties in every walk of life sadly, you just have to adapt your riding!

Adult Fiction ROTH
Summary: The Ghost Writer introduces Nathan Zuckerman in the 1950s, a budding writer infatuated with the Great Books, discovering the contradictory claims of literature and experience while an overnight guest in the secluded New England farmhouse of his idol, E. I. Lonoff. At Lonoff's, Zuckerman meets Amy Bellette, a haunting young woman of indeterminate foreign background who turns out to be a former student of Lonoff's and who may also have been his mistress. Zuckerman, with his active, youthful imagination, wonders if she could be the paradigmatic victim of Nazi persecution. If she were, it might change his life. The first volume of the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound , The Ghost Writer is about the tensions between literature and life, artistic truthfulness and conventional decency--and about those implacable practitioners who live with the consequences of sacrificing one for the other.

LAWRENCEVILLE - A stream next to Collins Hill High School has been restored, after severe erosion threatened the water quality.To save the stream, improve aquatic habitat and prevent erosion from washing out a trail, Gwinnett's water resources and parks staff teamed up with school officials to tackle the project. The stream is also near Collins Hill Park and aquatic center. "This work has resulted in an ideal area for public access, nature study and bird watching in addition to reducing turbidity and sediment in the stream," said Pete Wright of the county's Stormwater Management Utility. The $1.2 million price tag was paid with money from water and sewer fees and the county's stormwater utility. Last month, commissioners reduced the project's cost by $71,511 in a contract with Appalachian Environmental Services.

Are you experiencing:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have endometriosis.What is endometriosis?Endometriosis is a condition that occurs in more than 5 million women in the U.S. Tissue that lines the uterus, called endometrium, grows outside of the uterus on other organs or structures. Most often, endometriosis is found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus and lining of the pelvic cavity. These growths are not cancerous. The amount of pain caused is different for every woman and does not depend on the severity of endometriosis.Why does endometriosis cause pain?Every month, hormones cause the lining of the uterus to build up with tissue and blood vessels. If a woman does not get pregnant, the uterus sheds this tissue and blood through menstruation. The endometriosis tissue outside of the uterus cannot be shed and causes inflammation, scar tissue and pain. As this tissue grows, it can cover or grow into the ovaries and block the fallopian tubes. Trapped blood in the ovaries can form cysts or closed sacs. It also can cause adhesions, tissue that sometimes binds organs together. The growths also can cause problems in the intestines and bladder.What causes endometriosis?No one knows for sure what causes this disease, but experts have some theories:
How is endometriosis diagnosed?Pelvic exam. Sometimes large cysts or scars behind the uterus can be felt during a pelvic exam, however smaller areas of endometriosis are hard to feel.Diagnostic imaging. An ultrasound imaging test may find ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can produce a picture of the inside of the body that could show endometrial tissue.Surgery. The only sure way to diagnose endometriosis is to look inside the abdomen. This can be done through minor, minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopy. A tiny cut is made in the abdomen and a thin tube with a light is placed inside to look for growths. Sometimes the doctor can diagnose endometriosis just by seeing the growths. Other times, a small sample of tissue might be taken to view under a microscope.Treatment options:There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are many treatments available for pain and infertility. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment for you depending on your symptoms, age and plans for getting pregnant.
Types of surgery:
Don't delay seeking treatmentIf you have symptoms of endometriosis, talk with your obstetrician/gynecologist. Sometimes endometriosis is mistaken for other health problems that cause pelvic pain, and the exact cause might be hard to pinpoint.

Hollybrook resident finally getting closure
As disabled residents of the Hollybrook Apartments on St. Joseph's Villa property south of the main campus navigate to cross Brook Road, many face difficulties with traffic and are fearful for their safety. Resident Brian Montgomery has been fighting for enhancements for the Brook Road corridor along the Villa's property since 2000, when he was struck by an SUV while on his way to get groceries. His chair wound up under the vehicle and he barely escaped breaking his neck. Twelve years later, he is finally seeing plans put in motion to make the corridor a safer area for residents and pedestrians.
The Hollybrook complex is a HUD Section 8 apartment community for people living with disabilities and was designed for people confined to wheelchairs. It now serves seniors and people with mental illnesses as well and consists of two developments, Hollybrook I and Hollybrook II; each has 30 units.
For the residents of Hollybrook, crossing the busy intersection is something they do daily because across Brook Road sits a Wal-mart and other stores that many of them frequently use. With a high number of handicapped people in close proximity to a major roadway, the chances of getting hit or dealing with careless drivers has escalated. It's frustrating for tenants because despite safety concerns, there have been no major improvement to the road for more than 60 years – until now.
Things are finally moving forward, as VDOT and Henrico County are funding a $5.5 million project at the site. The construction budget originally was assessed at $2.4 million, but after a delay of five years to finalize plans, the cost more than doubled.
Project plans include sidewalk enhancements at the Villa entrance and Wal-mart entrance at the back of Hollybrook; sidewalks will be enlarged from four feet to seven feet. A sidewalk behind Brook Road that runs from the corner of Villa Park Drive to the entrance of Hollybrook will be enlarges as well, and an additional sidewalk will be built to run all to way to Parham Road in front of the Villa.
It has taken more than a decade of advocating through letters, e-mails, meeting and phone calls for Montgomery and residents of Hollybrook Apartments to see any signs of change. Montgomery wishes the issue had been handled sooner, so that several life-altering incidents could've been avoided.
"I got hit back in 2000 and I met some neighbors of mine and we started contacting Henrico County, trying to get sidewalks and improvements out here in Hollybrook," he said. "When it was built in 1984 they should've put the sidewalks in but they didn't. We've been going back and forth with Henrico County and VDOT for about 12 years trying to get it all nailed down."
A few sidewalk and crosswalk signals were added to the Brook and Wilkinson intersection more than five years ago, but the changes almost served as a temporary fix to the serious safety issue that residents encounter.
"When crossing Brook Road, you have to put your life in your own hands to get across there because the traffic just keeps on getting worse and worse. We do have countdown clocks and sensors at the stoplights now to help us but it's not enough," said Montgomery.
Montgomery has been lobbying for years to see changes made and has dealt with defeat before. His hopes were raised in 2005 when Henrico officials allocated $500,000 toward the project, but when funds from VDOT fell through, so did the transportation fix.
The corridor enhancements have an expected completion date of November 2012. Until then, Montgomery is going to be patient and hope that his continued efforts and optimism will lead to positive changes for himself and the residents of Hollybrook.
"It isn't going to hit me until i see the improvements and I see them putting in the changes," he said.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

Should I Paint My Bedroom Walls?
Good Questions
Q: I am trying to decide what direction to take in my bedroom. All of my interior walls are white and I am very pleased with the overall look. Somehow that does not carry over to the bedroom. It has poor lighting at the moment and also receives minimal natural light. I'm considering three deep blue walls, four deep blue walls, dark rug near the end of the bed and pendant lighting. Any suggestions?

If the room has poor lighting I would not choose a dark color. The wallpaper that you have is sooo gorgeous, I would not cover it. What about painting the other walls light to medium yellow? Yellow in combination with black, white, gold and grey accents..
Place the mirror (paint it black or gold) in the middle above the headboard and add two sconces on each side for more lighting.
"If the room has poor lighting I would not choose a dark color"
I disagree - Contrast makes a space special, and clearly there isn't enough as it is...
...and dark walls make a bedroom especially cozy - perfect for resting.
I like the 3 walls dark blue with the remaining wall wallpapered for the contrast. Just be sure to invest in a pair of great lamps for your bedside tables and another lamp for your desk or on top of the dresser to alleviate your lighting issue - EBay is a great resource for groovy lighting.
In general, dark colors will suck any light that you have, so I'd recommend choosing lighter colors or the room will feel pretty cave like and you'll need a lot of lighting to see. The mocked up photos show some kind of tray ceiling...does that have lighting?
Anyway, if you go with a darker color, use more lighter colors (like white) on the bed, drapes and other furniture. It won't feel so heavy. Good luck!
I like the third mock-up.
I love the dark color for the bedroom - it will be nice contract to the lightness of the rest of your house! The dark blue is really nice and peaceful and compliments the birch bark wallpaper very well. Love the 3rd mock-up.
I like the 3rd mock-up too and your floors are obviously very light, so I don't agree at all you'd end up with anything "cave-like." I've been obsessing over navy blue walls lately. Obsessing. I think it's such a gorgeous color for a warm room!!
I painted a bedroom indigo once and LOVED it. I would suggest switching all your bedding to mostly white though - it made for a crisp contrast. You should also use a reflecting paint finish - not matte, but satin finish. The darkness didn't feel oppressive or cavelike at all, rather it felt cozy and peaceful.
I like the first picture (all blue walls). With fluffy white bedding and more glam side tables. Midnight blue, white, and silver look awesome together.
But then, I'm almost always on the "If you have little natural light, go dark" side of things. Don't fight what you've got. Enhance it.
I am enjoying reading the comments about my bedroom. The ceiling is inset, would the term be catherdral? I have a ceiling fan with light. Installing recessed lights would definitely make a great change.
The quilt is something I am currently sewing together! Multi-colored yoyos on a charcoal quilt. So I can't let it go...but I clearly see that dark bed and bedding with dark walls may not work.
Now I'm considering a mid blue or gray with varied white and birch shelving:)
I really appreciate the ideas and tips, this is my first house to decorate and my knowledge is limited.
I also would not go for dark walls if lighting is limited.
PS Love the quilt coming along, any more details or pics? I like the idea of lighter grey or blue for the walls, say a shade like Kona Ash? Let the quilt and the wallpaper sing.
"The ceiling is inset, would the term be catherdral?"
Nope - "Cathedral" is a ceiling that's sloped in two directions coming to a point at the top like a church...
...this is a "Tray Ceiling"
Love the dark walls.
The last image appeals to me most.
I would definitely go for something less light consuming than dark blue.
What is the light like in your bedroom? It looks pretty gloomy on the photos. Also the ceiling seems low. Is your mind made up on that dark colour? I would paint it white, leave some strong colour around the wallpaper so it would work as frame and decorate with accessories in strong, bright colours. If you want something darker go rather for dark rug, it will give a depth to the room as the ceiling is low and ad a structure as it looks off centre. I hope it helps!
The birch wall paper and the intracacy of the quilt (not to mention the scale of the mirror) are competing. I'd suggest you forgo the detailed wallpaper. OR, move the bed to a solid colored wall and let the wallpaper provide a contrast to the blue side table and a chair.
As for color, our guest room is slate/gray and it is really very calming and not depressing. however, we have three windows and west-facing exposure, so that probably explains it.
I'm reminded of the Coco Chanel quote: "Before leaving the house, a lady should stop, look in the mirror, and remove one piece of jewelry."
The room would benefit from some editing. Focus on one star element (the quilt methinks) and play it up. Incorporate colors from it around the room, etc. The mirror and the detailed wallpaper distract.
good luck! you're on a roll.

What's Nearby:
Additional Location Information
Protaras is amongst Cyprus' most popular holiday destinations, catering for thousands of tourists every year.

Purpose built for holidaymakers, the resort is reasonably compact and ideally located on the eastern coastline of Cyprus, with a backdrop of around four miles of golden sands and turquoise waters.

Whether you prefer a relaxing holiday soaking up the sun, or an activity filled break full of unforgettable experiences, Protaras is an excellent choice. There are plenty of beauty spots to explore at your own pace, amongst the best of which are the rugged coves of Cape Greko or the quaint church at Pernera beach. Thrill seekers can head to any number of well maintained local beaches and try their hand at the various water sports on offer, be it kayaking, parasailing, jet-skiing, motor boating or wind surfing.

The Divi Southwinds Beach Resort is located between a half-mile stretch of pure white sand beach, and "the Gap"- a lively Barbados street attraction with restaurants, shops, music, and an abundance of local color. This unique location offers guests a wide range of activities- from lazy days exploring the beach to exciting nightlife.
Tennis courts are open to all Divi Southwinds guests. A full service activities coordinator is available at Divi Southwinds to help arrange island tours, watersports, and more.
Divi Southwinds has partnered with HighTide Watersports to offer scuba diving at dive sites surrounding Barbados. Check our special offers page for the latest dive packages, or call Divi reservations. Scuba and snorkeling excursions can also be arranged at the resort front desk.
Barbados is home of several major festivals and conferences including CropOver Festival, Holetown Festival, Wine & Rum Festival & more and we at Divi Southwinds are proud to be the host hotel for these major festivals and conferences in Barbados. These events range from reggae, hockey, rally car, cricket festivals & more.
Barbados offers guests a wide range of activities, from sunbathing to active sports.
Several challenging golf-courses are available to the public.
Scuba diving is popular throughout Barbados. The fringes and reefs found off Barbados blossom with healthy sponges, coral and plant life. The barrier reefs, located 1/2 - 2 miles from shore contain large coral heads which form the habitat for thousands of beautiful fish. Larger organisms are also found on these reefs, feeding on the smaller fish. The Hawksbill turtle can also be found on these reefs. Fringes and patching reefs are found closer to shore and have smaller coral formations and more abundant plant life then the barrier reefs. These reefs are home to Sea Horses, Frog Fish, Giant Sand Eels and many other marine creatures. Wrecks form fascinating habitats for marine life and Barbados has several excellent sites for wreck diving. Carlisle Bay, with 200 reported wrecks, and the Stavronikita, located at Folkestone Marine Park, are two of the most popular sites.
Barbados is ideal for year-round diving but is probably best in the summer months. The visibility ranges from 40 to 70ft and the water temperature is a consistent 80 degrees F.
Barbados offers fine beaches for surfing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding. When the world was created, Barbados was given an abundance of potential for becoming a surfer's paradise. The island's location far out in the Atlantic Ocean allows waves to travel thousands of kilometers on the bottom of the sea to finally unload all the power it developed during it's long journey over Barbados' coral reefs.
As Barbados is a Coral island, a coral reef stretches all around Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all over. No matter whether a swell approaches the island from a northerly or westerly direction or whether it's moving in from the East or the South, Barbados is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along it's shores at almost any given day of the year.
Hiking is a popular recreation, leading Barbados visitors through cane fields, gullies, tropical forests and coastal communities to explore the unique geological and social structure of Barbados. Guided hikes by "Hike Barbados" are FREE but donations are welcome towards the work of the Barbados National Trust (preserving our built and natural environment) and Treading Lightly (problem-solving for sustainability).
The warm waters off the coast of Barbados offer ideal fishing for Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin (Dorado), and the Marlin species. There is a fleet of Cabin Cruisers available for charter. Most charters include drinks, all tackle and bait.
Historical tours are popular with visitors to Barbados. Barbados has a rich history and has preserved and restored many of its historic buildings. Visit a plantation house for a trip back in time, see the towering lighthouses that once led ships to safety, or explore the historic towns that are an important part of our past and present.
