"I can't say that one is better than the other, because I enjoyed them both," said Matsui through an interpreter. "I really appreciated playing in Chicago. The atmosphere was great for playing. The game was very exciting."
Matsui went 1-for-2, singling in the second inning against San Francisco's Jason Schmidt, the National League starter. Schmidt had retired the first five American League batters before beaning Edgar Martinez with two outs in the second. That brought Matsui to the plate for his first All-Star at-bat.
"I wasn't nervous. It was like any other game," Matsui said. "Edgar had just gotten hit by a pitch, so I was worried about him. When I stepped to the plate, I was just trying to concentrate, get a base hit."
He hit the first pitch he saw from Schmidt to the opposite field, as it was just high enough to get over the head of shortstop Edgar Renteria.
"I smoked it," joked Matsui.
Matsui had two opportunities in center field, making catches on balls hit by Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds. Matsui grounded into a fielder's choice in his second at-bat, and was replaced by pinch-runner Vernon Wells.
"It was awesome," said Jason Giambi. "He went out and got a knock in his first at-bat, made a few great plays defensively. I know he had a lot of fun."
"That I could get a base hit and we could win the game, that was the ultimate," Matsui said. "I got my name in the lineup as a starter and got a base hit. It was a great experience for me."
The AL went on to win the game, 7-6, giving the Junior Circuit home-field advantage in this fall's World Series.
"If we can get to the World Series, this will be very good for us," Matsui said. "I'm happy we could help get home-field advantage for the American League."

Patrick Peterson's growth at cornerback rewarded with Pro Bowl honor
However, while Peterson will make his second straight trek to Honolulu for the league's All-Star showcase on January 27, his path to getting there was very different this time around.
As a rookie in 2011, Peterson was voted in as the conference's starting return man, after the former No. 5 pick took the league by storm with a record-tying four punt returns for touchdowns (all of which were over 80 yards).
This season, Arizona's return specialist has been held out of the end zone through 15 games, but has still found ways to terrorize opposing teams with his play-making skills in the Cardinals' secondary.
Despite lining up against some of the league's best receivers in 2012 (DeSean Jackson, Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Michael Crabtree), the former LSU star has picked off seven passes (second-best in the NFL) and pushed Arizona's defense towards the top of the league in takeaways (33).
"That's huge, because at the end of the day [cornerback] is my primary position," Peterson said of getting voted in as a Pro Bowl starter. "That's a huge accomplishment for me.
"I want to continue getting better each and every year. Now my goal is to go there every year as a cornerback."
While Peterson has lofty ambitions for the coming years, head coach Ken Whisenhunt was just happy his star corner was acknowledged in 2012.
"I'm excited for Patrick, and I think it's well-deserved," Whisenhunt said. "I think the thing that has been overlooked, is that most of the time he has been matched up against the best player we've gone up against. And he's fared well."
Whisenhunt added that Peterson's national recognition is also something the organization can be proud of.
"[His skills at cornerback] are why we drafted him," said Whisenhunt. "He was one of the guys we felt really good about coming out, and he's certainly lived up to that."
In addition to his seven interceptions, Peterson has 15 pass deflections and 53 totals tackles this season.

Bridge to the Doctorate
The UT Arlington LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (LSAMP-BD) program, with generous funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF grant number HRD-1026806), aims to recruit, retain, and graduate increased numbers of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) professionals, especially those among women and under-represented minorities, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. LSAMP-BD fellows receive a $30,000 stipend each year for two years as long as the program goals are met. The program provides funding for tuition and fees, student health insurance, research supplies, and travel to professional conferences to present research results. Fellows receive intensive mentoring and academic support to assist them in the successful completion of their graduate studies. After the initial two-year LSAMP-BD funding, fellows are supported by other funding mechanisms to ensure their timely graduation.

Nova asked because Romney said he prefers private insurance to government and he believes in Americans having a Choice. I have private insurance myself and my employer is now scratching it and raising rates, thanks to Obamacare. I'll find out what my new deductible will be next month. It's all part of Obamacare's plan to go to a single payer system and death squads.
yeah I do kinda want to know what Romney will replace dodd-frank and obamacare with.
In reply to Obama and premiums going up slightly... my have gone up only slightly but the coverage as gone down greatly. My current plan is practically useless as compared to what it was 4 year ago.
God, but I hope that people are watching this.
Romney's comments are clear, concise and structured, while Obama's are all over the place. His body language is confident, while Obama comes off as tentative, and he's stammering. The comparison to his kids was superb. It reminded people that Obama is basically a kid who is in over his head. He's nailed him on the Medicare cuts and destroyed him on green energy. Best line was, "I've been in business for 25 years, and I don't know what you're talking about."
This is a slam dunk.
So far, as well as Romney is doing, he missed the boat on 2 things. First, when he made his "the middle class is getting crushed" comment, he should have zinged with "even your own veep confirmed that". The other was on the deficit. He brought up Obama adding more to the deficit than any president in history. He should have followed it with Obama's own promise that he would be a 1 term president only if he didn't cut the deficit in half.
Great job on the 10th Amendment comment he just had there.

Cornell Bread
This widely known Cornell bread is high in protein with its nutritionally enriched combination of flours. It was created in the 1940s to act as a staple in the low-cost diets of the days of war rationing. The nutritional merits are important, but what fueled the popularity of the Cornell Formula was its pleasing taste. The Cornell Bread recipe was developed by Cornell professor, Dr. Clive M. McCay (see below for details).
Cornell Formula White Bread
3 cups warm water
2 packages active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
3 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup full-fat soy flour
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons wheat germ
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in honey, salt, and oil.
2. Combine three cups of the unbleached flour with the soy flour, dry milk, and wheat germ; add to yeast mixture. Add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make dough stuff enough to knead easily.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board. Knead about ten minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to oil the top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until double; about one hour.
5. Punch dough down and turn onto lightly oiled board. Divide dough into three equal portions and shape each into a loaf. Place in greased 8x4- inch pans. Cover with a clean towel and let rise until double; about one hour.
6. Preheat oven to 400. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
YIELD: Three 8x4 inch loaves.
The recipe originates from Dr. Clive Maine McCay who was a well known and somewhat controversial Cornell professor of Nutrition in the 1930s and 1940s.
A Cornell publication recently noted, "The recipe collection in Yeast Breads has a unique history. About ten years ago Mrs. Clive McCay urged the Division of Nutritional Sciences to write a cookbook featuring the Cornell Formula bread. She devoted many years to promoting the Cornell Formula bread developed by her husband, Dr. Clive M. McCay in the 1940s."
"The Cornell bread book: 54 recipes for nutritious loaves, rolls & coffee cakes," co-authored by Clive M. McCay and Jeanette B. McCay, may be found in the Cornell Library Catalogue.

Most States Lag on Dental Sealants
- Children's Dental Policy
- Contact Mary McNamara 202.540.6580
- January 8, 2013
Quick SummaryPew's 50-state report finds that most states are not doing enough to use a proven strategy for preventing tooth decay, unnecessarily driving up health care costs for families and taxpayers.
Introduction: Grading the States
In both 2010 and 2011, the Pew Children's Dental Campaign released reports grading all 50 states and the District of Columbia on children's dental health, relying on eight evidence-based policies that cover prevention, financing, and workforce issues. However, this year, Pew's 50-state report focuses on prevention, examining states' efforts to improve access to sealants for low-income kids.
Pew's grades are based on four indicators that should be a key part of any state's prevention strategy:
- having sealant programs in high-need schools,
- allowing hygienists to place sealants in school-based programs without requiring a dentist's exam,
- collecting data regularly about the dental health of school-children and submitting it to a national oral health database, and
- meeting a national health objective on sealants.
Overall State Grades
In the map below, states were given specific points for each benchmark, and grades—on a scale of A to F—were based on the total points earned. Learn more about how each state performed in our state fact sheets.
Pew's assessment reflects the states' policies that existed as of July 1, 2012.

Zyan Drench is a simple yet very entertaining game developed using the Zyan Communication Framework. The Game board is a random picture of size 15x15. Start from the top-left corner of the board. Select a new color for the top-left pixel, and all adjacent pixels of the same color will be painted over with the new color. The goal is to drench the whole board with your own color. Zyan Drench has several modes: play against Android phone (with adjustable skill level), play solo (classic single-player mode), and network game. It is completely ad-free and open source.
EPIC is a multiplayer strategy roleplaying game in which you are pitted against or work with real people in various fantasy settings called modules. It starts with Conan and Malazan modules. Third parties can create new modules. The system supports adventures, armies, characters, assassins, guilds/buildings, very rich magic (over 400 spells) and over 2,000 items, in a realistic fantasy world . The game focuses on minimum game time but the maximum amount of time thinking about the game and your cunning plans with your allies. There's no farming or repetition. The game format encourages the creation of epic fantasy tales. Part of a player's turn is in real time, but movement and military orders are done as submitted orders which are processed as your turn.

Energy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponEnergy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan.
Put your hunger behind bars
First, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again."
In fact, substituting an energy bar-paired with an apple or veggie salad-for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
- at least 200 calories
- 3 grams or less saturated fat
- 3 grams or more fiber (to help you feel full)
- at least 10 grams of protein (to help tide you over till your next meal)
Indulge in your favorite flavors
As a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging.
"After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars.
Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals.
Pick the best bar for the job
As the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy.
If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger.Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide!

By most accounts, the odds are long.
Late Ravens owner Art Modell will be among the 17 finalists (15 modern era candidates and two from the seniors committee) on Saturday when voters determine which NFL greats will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is the second time he has gotten this far in the three-tiered selection process, but the roster is heavy with terrific candidates — including all-everything Ravens offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden — and the selection committee can only send five of them to Canton.
So, it'll have to come down to sentiment. The voters will have to take Modell's recent passing into consideration and recognize just how special this Super Bowl Week would be if Modell and Ogden were elected in advance of the Ravens' showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.
It may also have to come down to forgiveness, since Modell's prospects for being named on 80 percent of the final Hall of Fame ballots may also depend on voters who have previously ignored him because he uprooted the Cleveland Browns and moved them to Baltimore.
If the vote were left up to anyone in Baltimore, of course, it would be a no-brainer.
"The National Football League wouldn't be the same,'' said Ravens coach John Harbaugh. "Isn't that the measurement — how much better they made our game and the National Football League? By any measurement, it wouldn't be the same and it wouldn't be as good as it is right now. He changed football. He changed the way it was perceived. He helped make it the popular game it is today."
Modell's accomplishments are well-known. He was the point man for the NFL's foray into prime time television. He helped grease the rails for the watershed NFL/AFL merger by agreeing to move his team to the newly created American Football Conference. He saw the future when a lot of other owners didn't.
"You can't write the history of the NFL without including him in major, major decisions,'' said Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti. "That fact that he agreed to move his team to balance out the leagues? That was something that present-day people understand what a huge risk that was to his franchise to say, 'I'll go with the upstarts.''
Bisciotti is well aware of the debate that has been going on over the past few weeks in the Baltimore and Cleveland media, but he obviously thinks that the issue is not that complicated.
"I read a dissenting article," Bisciotti said, "and they basically said he had very little to do with Monday Night Football. He had very little to with the TV contracts. So how I do reconcile that? I'm no more qualified to say 'Yes he was, yes he was' than the writer from Cleveland who's saying, 'Oh no, he was fringe player in basically every single thing he gets credit for.' If it wasn't for the move I don't think we'd be sitting here and saying, 'Let's dissect what he did and how responsible he was for all those advancements for the NFL.' I don't think we'd have to. I think he would have been in."
Modell would not be the only Hall of Fame owner to have moved a franchise. The first was Dan Reeves, who moved the Cleveland Rams to Los Angeles in 1946. The most notorious was the dislikeable Al Davis, who moved from Oakland to Los Angeles and from Los Angeles back to Oakland and shook down the tiny Southern California city of Irwindale for $10 million along the way.
Both Reeves and Davis were football pioneers and so was Modell. It's popular in Cleveland to diminish his contribution and to point to the competitive and business failures of the Browns to make a case against his induction. That's largely spite, of course. If Modell was such a bad owner and the Browns were such a mediocre franchise, then why all the angst about their departure? Cleveland got to keep the Browns' colors and got a new franchise in short order, but petty grudges die hard in provincial towns. We can certainly identify with that in Baltimore.
Ravens superstar Ray Lewis had a special relationship with Modell, so his feelings already are well known. He decribed his friend and former boss as "a true legend in his own way, a real visionary who changed thousands and thousands of lives."
"For the impact he's had on this business and what he's done for so many in this business, for me — I am a little biased — I would say, 'Why wouldn't he be in the Hall of Fame?"
It's really a question of balance. The people of Cleveland have chosen to focus on Modell's decision to move his struggling franchise into a better economic environment rather than credit him for the 35 years he spent there and the good things he did in the community. They have that right, but carrying this grudge past Modell's grave just seems wrong.
"I would hope people would find it in their hearts to do the right thing and vote Art Modell into the Hall of Fame,'' Harbaugh said. "There's no question he belongs there. There's no question he's going to be in the Hall of Fame. Why wait? Let's just do it right now. Let's do the right thing."

The Servant of Two Masters at Salem State
Take a young couple about to be wed, add two manipulating fathers, a saucy maid, a gourmet innkeeper, a misjudged killer, a woman dressed as a man, awkward porters and rude waiters with a dash of a mischievous servant and you have Carlo Goldoni's commedia dell'arte masterpiece, The Servant of Two Masters.
At its center is the scheming (and perpetually hungry) servant, Truffaldino, who concocts a zany scheme to double his wages (and his meals) by serving two masters at once. While Goldoni's Venetian romps was written in the eighteenth century, audience members will recognize timeless comic devices reminiscent of the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplin's "The Little Tramp."
Directed and choreographed by David Allen George with scenic Venice designed by James Fallon and the elaborate costumes and traditional masks of the Venice Carnival designed by Jane Hillier-Walkowiak, this wildly funny and totally enjoyable classic is a guaranteed delight.

- Directed by David Allen George
- April 17-19, April 24-26, 7:30 pm and April 27, 2 pm.

This was my least favorite son on TTT …
Comment posted New Music: Rihanna f/ A$AP Rocky – Cockiness (Remix) by Demmi.
This was my least favorite son on TTT until I saw it performed at Hackney…Lord have mercy that Rih brought it to life..Now I can't get this song out of my damn head.
It is not going to be realeased to Radio just to itunes.
I listened to TTT and that Album is way better than it appeared at first. I am a Rih fan but I just was not feeling this song at first.
Demmi also commented
- Did anyone catch Her performance with Coldplay in Paris. The Umbrella Remix she and Chris Martin did is to die for!!! LOL Who thought she had that **** in her….
- Oh get off your high horse!!!
Its POP music its meant to be enjoyed in the here and now.
Just take your issues and subcriptions and go some where else….

- Drake Dismisses Chris Brown, Talks Effect Of Rick Ross' Recent Controversy & Clears Up Rumored Beef With The Weeknd
Her feelings for Drake was actually quite friendly even after the bottle throwing in the club but something happened when she was in Miami and she has been cold towards him since.
Her hugging CB at the VMAS may have started the slide Drake was posses about that and may have gone at he. I don't know what triggered it but he posses her off royally sometime around the VMAS.
- Chris Brown Gets Introspective In New Interview
I would like to say one thing in this young mans defends. Chris Brown is now about to turn 24 yrs he has gone through what are a mans hardest years in the public eyes under the darkest of clouds.
They are called growing pains and they are called that for a reason. He has spent his spent the last 4 years of his life as public enemy no 1 and he is still standing and I admire him for that.
I fully expect there will be other incidents where he make mistakes and is rediculed for it but I fully expect.they will.become fewer and Further apart as we go on. Just because he is rich and handsome and famous does not preclude him from having the same issues that other young men have as they navigate the bridge between childhood and adulthood.
What bothers me is that so many grown men who know how difficult and dangerous a time this is for our young men can sit on this blot and be so.blind to.this young mans pain.
- Chris Brown Talks Drake, Frank Ocean Beef & Wanting More Privacy In His Personal Life
Let's hope that his motivation is strong enough to keep him on this path. Chris has spent the last four years singing songs to Rih in the hope she would take his sorry asa back. Now that she has he can concentrate on making great music and maybe ding a few songs that is not influenced by her.

Things I liked:UTG quality and value are top notch. Easy mounting to dovetail if you use an adapter. The side screws are easily hand tightened and hold very well. Brightness control works well and the windage and elevation adjustments are easy to manipulate with a coin or a thumbnail. Holds zero great and looks cool. Mounted on a 2289g.
Things I would have changed:I would like a circle dot reticle version with an integral dovetail mount.
What others should know:Personally I prefer the circle dot reticle version which can only be bought with their quick disconnect mount. I have one of these and prefer it for bright outdoor conditions as it makes it slightly easier to see the reticle and set on target. The difference is marginal however and this is still a great dot sight.
Things I liked:Great dot sight. Green shows up better for me. Holds zero well and mounts securely.
Things I would have changed:For the price of this - nothing. Auto off would be nice.
What others should know:With a 4 MOA dot, it is very accurate but not 'hole touching' as a scope could be. In my experience, the width of the dot makes it difficult to be more precise than about an inch at 45 feet.
Things I liked:Lens caps, both red and green dots, easy to mount.
Things I would have changed:Not much since it is a $35 sight, but sometimes the top adjustment screw cap gets in the way of turning the brightness knob.
What others should know:It's a really great red dot sight for the price. I have it mounted on my Crosman M4-177, and they make a great combo for plinking!

Depending on where you live, debt collectors may be legally entitled to take your entire paycheck, house or car and completely clear out your bank accounts.
Families in the District of Columbia have a better chance of holding on to their vehicles than those in Maryland and Virginia. Yet Washington residents could have 25 percent of their wages transferred to a creditor.
In a report released Thursday, the National Consumer Law Center surveyed the patchwork of state "exemption laws" meant to protect struggling families from losing everything to creditors. The advocacy group found that few places met its five basic standards for protecting consumers — preserving at least $1,000 in a bank account as well as barring creditors from seizing vehicles, household goods, homes and most wages.
Only Massachusetts and Iowa came close to meeting those standards, each receiving a B-plus grade. The District of Columbia earned a B-minus for its fairly strong consumer protections, while Maryland and Virginia both received D's.
The District of Columbia prevents creditors from seizing anyone's home, but Maryland only protects homes worth up to $6,000. That's $1,000 higher than Virginia's limit, according to the report.
"I can't compare our laws to other states, but we have taken major actions to ensure those laws are enforced and worked with the courts to reform their rules for these lawsuits," said Mark Kaufman, Maryland's commissioner of financial regulation. Officials in Virginia had not reviewed the report by press time.
Christopher Weaver, associate commissioner for banking in the D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking, said the agency "plans to confer with the District's consumer affairs department and the D.C. Council about better protecting families' wages."
In some states, weak exemption laws simply reflect a failure to update statutes on the books, said NCLC researchers. Pennsylvania, for instance, protects Bibles and sewing machines, but has no coverage for household goods of more than $300.
"Almost all states exempt a pair of cows and an ox, but they haven't exempted computers or a car that actually works," said Robert Hobbs, deputy director of NCLC. "This is a call for states to update these laws."
Federal laws, he noted, mainly address personal bankruptcy, leaving states to ensure that residents do not wind up destitute as they try to pay off their debts. Hobbs said some states are updating their laws in piecemeal fashion, protecting a larger portion of wages but not cars, for instance.
"It's sort of like squeezing a balloon. They might be protecting the car, but the money in the bank account to make the car payments is wiped clean," Hobbs said. "States should be comprehensive in providing a foundation for families."
Exemption laws come into play when a creditor wins a judgment against a consumer in court. Creditors can then take steps to seize wages or property to pay the debt.
Members of the $12.2 billion debt-collection industry are critical of the restrictions consumer organizations want to place on their business. Industry officials argue that NCLC and other advocacy groups should put more emphasis on financial literacy than absolving consumers of their obligations.
"NCLC neglects to include any mention of the personal responsibility of consumers to communicate with creditors and debt collectors to seek solutions," said Pat Morris, chief executive of the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals, a trade group.
He added: "NCLC goes right to the lowest common denominator to incite fear — legal action, garnishment and repossession — which are actions of last resort by creditors."
About 30 million Americans have an average of $1,500 in debt subject to collection, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In the wake of the financial crisis, state authorities and advocacy groups became alarmed by the tactics used by some debt collectors to get consumers to settle their balances.
A 2011 report by Consumers Union found debt collectors filing an increasing number of lawsuits against borrowers without proper documentation. In some cases, companies were suing people over debts that were already paid or winning court judgments without proof that they owned the debt.
California authorities, for example, argue JPMorgan Chase flooded the courts with lawsuits against credit card holders based on flimsy evidence that cardholders were in default, says a lawsuit filed in May by the state's attorney general.
Federal regulators have been investigating whether the nation's biggest banks used flawed documents and incomplete records to collect on delinquent credit card debts. Meanwhile, a group of 13 state attorneys general is also looking into the actions of banks as well as companies that buy defaulted debt and collect the proceeds for themselves.

Reed improved to 3-0 after thwacking Bishop Manogue (2-1) at home Friday night in the Raiders' Homecoming game.
"It feels great," coach Ernie Howren said. "We told the kids going into the week we know how important an opponent like Manogue is. But we have always told them on Homecoming, take advantage of this opportunity."
They took advantage. And then some.
The Miners received the opening kickoff and punted after converting a lone first down. The opening-drive punt is only noteworthy because it was just one of three first-half drives that didn't result in a Miners turnover.
After the punt, Manogue turned the ball over on four straight possessions. The Raiders scored points off each.
"I think the defense definitely challenged themselves from last week," Howren said. "We had a few missed tackles that we thought we should have had and I think they came out with a chip on their shoulder. We knew these guys (the defense) could play well and they really did tonight."
Taking over at its own 18 after fielding the opening punt, Reed nearly marched the length of the field before Jesse Brock drilled a 37-yard field goal.
Daniel McCarthy gave the ball right back to his offense on the ensuing possession going untouched around the right side and strip sacking Manogue quarterback Jack Sanders. Reed quarterback Chris Denn scampered from five yards out on third down to push the lead to 10-0 a few plays later.
Manogue put together its best looking drive of the first half on the next possession, marching into Reed territory, before a slant bounced around in the secondary into the hands of Reed's Collian Palian. After the second consecutive turnover, the Raiders marched the final 43 yards resulting in a Jorden Carter 14-yard touchdown run.
The Miners responded by fumbling for the second time in three drives, which resulted in another Brock field goal, this one from 36-yards out. Not done coughing the ball up, Manogue fumbled the following kickoff and Jordan de Leon rumbled to pay dirt from 13 yards out to push the lead to 26-0, which was more than enough for the Raiders' suffocating defense.
The senior running back finished with 97 yards and two scores on 16 touches.
"It's so fun to watch Jordan de Leon. I mean he's a road grader," Howren said. "Usually you say that about offensive lineman but for a guy as freakishly big and strong and fast as Jordan is, that is what you see, a road grader out there. If he's not running away from you, he'll just run you over."
Despite averaging over six yards a carry and the high praise from his coach, the senior was not satisfied.
"I could have played a lot better than I did and had more yardage," de Leon said.
He undoubtedly would have finished with more yards if the game wasn't as lopsided as a teeter totter with a sumo wrestler on one end and a toddler on the other.
He was pulled in the middle of the second quarter and played the first possession of the third quarter before becoming a fan for the rest of the game.
Howren played a number of his starters into the third quarter with his team leading by more than 40, including Denn. The senior quarterback completed 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards. He also carried the ball 15 times for 42 yards and a score.
Howren said he left several of his starters in the game to help make sure they are game ready, an understandable position considering the smoke-induced bizarre start to the season.
"We have a responsibility to our kids here at Reed that we have to get them in game shape," Howren said. "And you can't get them in game shape coming out and playing one series after you come out at halftime and then benching everybody."
Carter finished with 45 yards on the ground and two scored on five carries. Trae Wells hauled in three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown from backup quarterback Jackson Gilmore.
With a running clock (45-point differential or greater) starting midway through the third quarter, Manogue managed to get on the board with four minutes left on an 8-yard pass from Sanders to Wes Farnsworth.
His squad cruised Friday night but Howren doesn't believe the game will have any impact next week when the Raiders play host to Carson.
"Honestly, it's nice but it really means nothing," Howren said. "I tell you what, Carson isn't going to look at the score. Carson is only going to be focused on jimmies and joes, the x's and o's. That's all they care about. They don't care about the 53 and the seven. They're focused on, where's this guy line up and what does he do well. And that's what we're going to be doing too."

Hi EVA!!!! I'm a fashion design student @Parsons and love your blog. I wanted to know if you have any good recommendations for fragrances. I love viktor&rolf flowerbomb and diptyque eau rose, but am getting kind of sick of the same two scents. Are there any fragrances that you recommend? And I'm willing to splurge. :) Thanksss!
oh, the pressure! asking me to recommend a fragrance is like asking me to recommend a mascara or a pair of jeans (or anything uber-personal, really). fragrance is so much dictated by your own taste, memories, associations, and preferences and what I love might be wildly repellant to you. all that said, the scents that I've been wearing are: Hermes Hermessence Rose Ikebana (a super light and delicate rose, not at all cloying); Prada Infusion de Tubereuse (a green floral scent, quite fresh but also femme); Tom Ford Neroli Portofino (probably the most "hey! you're wearing fragrance!" scent I own) and Kai Perfume Oil—there's nothing I love more than the scent of jasmine and this one makes me so happy. my top tip? go to Sephora and test two scents at a time (this might require multiple trips, poor you)—one on each wrist. smell it once you spray it, then walk around the mall and smell it again after 30 minutes/1 hour (known as the "dry-down"). see what you love at both points and go forth and splurge!
hi eva, i hav two questions for you: 1. based on what you've said before, it's not really which school in new york you go to that matters, it's the work/interning you and the connections you make, right? 2. should i try to keep bad language off of my social network pages (e.g. my blog), does that matter to potential employers who somehow find my pages?
1. yes, correct! 2. yes, correct to the 100000th degree! I cannot stress enough how important it is to be professional online. like Hansel and Gretel, with every cussword/crazy-party-times pic/rant you post, you are leaving a little digital breadcrumb, something that can be traced and linked back to you. I've had people tweet at me or message me about getting an internship and then I click to see their avatar and it's something rather rude or I read their twitter stream and my mouth drops open from the shocking obscenities issuing from their stream. my rule of thumb is this: think before you post. if you're posting something that you wouldn't want your mom or professor to see, chances are you won't want your future employer to see it either. I'm not saying "be boring"—I'm saying be smart and mindful of how you present yourself
Hi there Eva, Do you have to be skinny in order to become accepted as an intern/editor or something prominent within the fashion industry? I know it seems like its a bit of a fashion industry stereotype, but I thought it'd be best to ask this question from someone in the industry as I'd get the most honest answer. I really would love to work in the fashion industry but I because i'm not 'sample size' I'm worried this will hold me back. Thanks :)
if you're a model, for the most part you have to be sample size (0, 2, 4). of course, there are exceptions to that rule—and whether that's unfair is a whole separate debate (that rages on and on). but my personal opinion is that being an editor is not the same thing as being a model and that distinction is sometimes clouded in people's minds. we're in a moment in time when editors are being celebrated as fashion figures—I'm definitely not complaining about that… but to be an editor, you need an incisive eye, a strong point of view, ace communication skills, and an ability to, you know, edit. nowhere in the job description should there be a size clause

Read the lower part of this page,
The simple fix is replacing the assembly cap
If you hear hissing, it's water.
I'll get to my high water use after the story.
Last winter I installed a new Korky brand float valve in the basement toilet. It had a weird hissing sound but the water wasn't rising so I thought it was just annoying. In march I got tired of the annoying hissing, went and bought another one.....installed new one.......still hissed. Ok, I'll live with it.
Around July 2009 my water usage started to climb. Usual use for the three of us was 3,500 / sometimes 4,000. The August water invoice showed 6,000 gallons. Ok, maybe my son took too many long showers.
Each month the usage has increased. Last invoice was 10,000 gallons...yikes. This invoice showed 12,000 gallons. What is going on?
So yesterday I started the search. Shut off the supply to the house, checked the meter, meter shows no flow to home. Good - no leaks outside.
Turned the house main back on / checked meter, shows water flow. Hm?
Went in and turned water off to the basement toilet with the hissing Korky valve / checked meter, meter shows no flow.
Ok, that is weird because the water level is right on the line. Some food coloring in the tqank was in order. Waited, waited, waited, several hourse passed. No coloring in the bowel.
So maybe the new flapper valve is leaking. Turned off the valve to the toilet. Let the thing sit all night. In the morning the water is still right on the line.
For me to be using an extra 7,000 gallons a month from a leaking flapper valve, that tank should have been empty.
So the hissing of the Korky fill valve could just be air in the lines. Could the movement of the air through the lines cause the little meter dial to spin and therefore cause the meter numbers to move.
This is strange and I'm no newbie to this stuff. I've worked on maintenance crews, albeit that was 40 years ago but I am still mechanically inclined.
Have I paid several hundred dollars for air?

Read the lower part of this page,

If you hear hissing, it's water.
But where is the water going? It isn't coming out the tube, it isn't going into the tank, the flapper valve isn't leaking. Weird that both Korky fill valves made the same noise.
Thanks for the head up on a replacement.
For the amount it has cost for extra water we could have bought a brand new, eloquent fixture.
My guess is the leaking valve is sending the water out the bowl refill tube. That would totaly bypass the tank and your food coloring.
I have a mild form of Dyslexia that affects my ability to spell. I do use spell checking to help but it does not always work. My form of Dyslexia does not affect my reading. Dyslexics of the world untie!
The hissing sound is probably NOT coming from the toilet, that is just where you hear it. The sound may be a cracked pipe under the floor and the sound is being transmitted to the toilet where it is amplified so you hear it.
Pulled the tube and let it run into the tank and not the refill tube.
It stopped running when the tanks fill line was reached. Let it sit for a while, came back and the tank water had not risen one bit.
Put the tube back into the refill.
For some odd reason, the hissing is gone. I did make one more adjustment downward on the Korky. It still fills to the line on the tank but there is no hissing.
Kind of makes me long for the days when you just had the floating ball to adjust.
Crud can cause the seal on any toilet to leak a little. Sometimes it will flush away on its own, sometimes you have to manually clean it off, and sometimes, you just need to replace the cap seal (this works for the Korky Quietfill). The cap seal is available at Lowes for less than $3, so not a bad thing to have sitting around for the time when it does need to be replaced. The flapper valves don't last forever, either, so I like to keep one of those around as well.

Today, I did pull it apart, cleaned the screan and the valve diaphram. They were perfectly clean.
Since the other day the hissing had stopped but then this morning all H broke lose and the valve wasn't closing and the tank was filling past the tank fill hole.
In the past 7 months this is the second Korky valve to go crazy. Both same way and same condition.
Think I'll go get the old brass/copper fill valve and the ballcock. At least I'll know I have a machined metal valve. What I am thinking is the toilet is the first connection to the main and catches any silt that comes by. Who knows?
When at the store there was another guy with the same story as mine. He went through two fill valves in quick order. He thinks it is because the water company has been doing some back flow cleaning.
Two things to check: make sure that the refill hose is attached to the clip, and not just stuffed down the overflow tube; check your water pressure - if it is very high, the valve may not be able to shut off.

It can siphon water out, that's why. They install it on a clip for a reason!

That is what I thought.
When I wrote my question tried at some humor but reading it back, it didn't work. I was trying to make the tube seem like it had a thought process.
I really think it is the valve. When I manually pull up on the float, the water will not stop. So if physically pulling on the float won't stop it, having it float by rising water will not do the job.
But your clip thing does mechanically make sense and I always thought it was to keep the thing from falling into the overflow hole. Thanks for the tip.

Think I have the answer but it worked fine for twenty three years with its current plumbing.
I just noticed that the water supply to the toilet "T"s in before the house pressure regulator. There is a regulator outside in the meter pit.
I am guessing that the pressure is too high coming straight from the water company meter pit. I'm really not into doing any new joint sweating but I am thinking about a different fill valve. I wonder if the old copper/brass valve with the ballcock can take more pressure?
Did you try replacing the cap like was suggested way back at the beginning of this thread? Did you try placing the hose at it's proper position? If you lift the hose up, does it stop? If it does, that's your answer. Install it like the manufacturer says.
