Additional H1N1 flu vaccines available at clinic
Posted January 12, 2010; 12:52 p.m.
University Health Services will hold a H1N1 flu vaccine clinic on Friday, Jan. 15, in Multipurpose Rooms A, B and C of the Frist Campus Center for all faculty, staff, students and dependents age 10 and older. This is the second H1N1 vaccine clinic open to all members of the campus community.
The vaccine clinic will open at 9 a.m. and will remain open until all available doses have been given or until 4 p.m. No appointments are necessary, and vaccines will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Dependents eligible for vaccination are spouses, domestic partners and children of students and employees.
Only the injectible form of the vaccine will be available at the Jan. 15 clinic.
In order to be vaccinated, individuals must bring their University ID card and their insurance card to the clinic. Individuals who are not covered by a University employee or student insurance plan also must bring cash or a check to cover a $15 administrative fee.
The federal government is providing doses of the H1N1 vaccine free of cost; however, there are administrative costs associated with distributing the vaccine. Individuals who have the following University health insurance plans are covered for the vaccine and may receive the H1N1 vaccine at no cost: the University's Student Health Plan, Aetna insurance plans and United Healthcare insurance plans.
Individuals who are not covered by one of these insurance plans may be charged the $15 fee to cover the administrative costs of distributing the vaccine, depending on their insurance. Students and employees who are not covered by a University insurance plan may submit a receipt to private insurance companies for reimbursement, and financial assistance is available for students who are unable to pay the fee.
Due to a recent increase in vaccine supplies, state health officials announced in late December that providers in New Jersey may open H1N1 flu vaccine clinics to everyone, lifting the restrictions that had previously limited the vaccine to persons considered at high risk. The first clinic that was open to all members of the University community took place Jan. 8.
Following the Jan. 15 clinic, the University must await more information from the state about when further vaccine shipments may be distributed in order to determine when additional vaccine clinics may be scheduled.
For more information, visit the University's H1N1 web page.

The intestine is made up of the small intestine and the large intestine (colon). The small intestine runs from the stomach to the large intestine. The colon runs from the end of the small intestine to the anus. The intestine absorbs nutrients and water from the diet.
Obstruction of the intestine occurs when food and water cannot pass through the intestine. The area of intestine nearest to the obstruction becomes dilated and non-functioning. If the obstruction is not relieved, it can lead to intestinal gangrene and perforation.
The most common causes of intestinal obstruction in adults are adhesions, hernias, and colon cancer. Adhesions are scars that form between loops of intestine, usually caused by prior surgery, which causes such scar formation. Hernias are areas of weakness in the abdominal wall, through which loops of intestine can slip and become trapped. Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer. While each reason for intestinal obstruction requires a different treatment, all intestinal obstructions are potentially life-threatening.
In most cases, surgery is necessary. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the midline of the abdomen. In the case of adhesions, the adhesion is removed, thus relieving the obstruction. In the case of a hernia, the hernia is repaired. If colon cancer is present, cancerous areas are removed, which also relieves the obstruction. .
In all cases, the intestine involved in the obstruction is examined. If any parts of the intestine look unhealthy from lack of blood flow during the period of obstruction, they are removed and the healthy ends are reconnected. A patient's recovery depends on several factors, including the cause of the intestinal obstruction and the length of time prior to relief of the obstruction.

Matthew Taylor has been signed by Burnley to a two-year contract after West Ham released him on a free transfer.
One shot on target, one goal, and three points. It was vintage Leicester City as the Foxes beat West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns.
It may be the only time they do it all season, but today Burnley were able to win on the road, scoring early and again late to upset Crystal Palace, 0-2.
Crystal Palace looked to take advantage of playing at home against a side that hadn't won on the road all season, but today Burnley decided to end that run and defeated the Eagles, 0-2.
Sunderland had their hearts broken and their fate sealed when a late goal from AFC Bournemouth sent the Black Cats to a 0-1 loss and to the Championship next season.
Hull City won a point in dramatic circumstances at Saint Mary's in a 0-0 draw with Southampton.
Josh King's 2017 just keeps getting better, adding his 15th goal of the season in dramatic fashion, giving AFC Bournemouth a late winner in a 0-1 win over Sunderland.
Stoke City failed to score for the fourth time in seven PL games, drawing 0-0 with West Ham at the Bet365 stadium.
Liverpool announced the club has tied down defender Dejan Lovren to a new long-term contract after an impressive season.
Slaven Bilic named an unchanged starting XI at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday after several first-team players passed late fitness tests.
Crystal Palace (and Liverpool) dodged a bullet with defender Mamadou Sakho set to miss weeks rather than months.
David Moyes was forced into four changes, from the side which narrowly lost out at the Riverside Stadium, for the visit of Bournemouth on Saturday.

For the second year in-a-row, both Hope College
track teams have been honored for academic achievement by the
United States Track Coaches Association. This national
recognition was initiated in 1998.
The women's team had the second best cumulative grade point
average among all NCAA Division III institutions during the 1998-
99 school year. Nebraska Wesleyan maintained the best GPA at
3.54 while the Flying Dutch were 3.46.
The men's team had the eighth best cumulative GPA nationally
at 3.14. The top men's team in the nation was Emory, Ga. at 3.31.
Both teams were coached last spring by Mark Northuis.
Honored for individual academic accomplishment were Jennifer
Ernst of Westerville, Ohio (Westerville South HS) and Emily
Sowers of Grand Rapids (GR Christian HS). Ernst is a senior this
fall while Sowers is a junior.
To qualify for the individual academic award, a student must
have participated at the Division III championships and
maintained a minimum 3.25 GPA. Both Ernst and Sowers achieved
NCAA Division III All-America distinction last spring at the
outdoor track and field championships. Sowers finished fifth in
the discus while Ernst was seventh in the 10,000-
meter run.
This is the second year that Sowers has been honored by the
national track coaches association. She is a psychology and
sociology major. Ernst is an art major. Both were honored for
academic achievement in 1998-99 by the Michigan Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (MIAA).
The 1998-99 school year was a banner year for Hope student-
athletes on both the field of competition and in the classroom.
Hope won the MIAA All-Sports award (now known as the
Commissioner's Cup) a league record of 22nd time. Teams and
individual athletes competed in eight NCAA Division III
championships. Seven teams (men's and women's cross country,
men's and women's swimming, men's tennis and men's and women's
track) were honored nationally for academic performance.

This past week marked the end of regular season volleyball contests for FHSAA member schools. This week all four teams will be participating in district play, hoping to extend their seasons with post-season play. Results from last week, however include:
MUNROE VS. NORTH BAY HAVEN: The Lady Cats put together a very good effort on Senior Night, defeating North Bay Haven of Panama City in four games. Three of the four games were very close with the Lady Cats winning game 1 25-23, game 3 26-24 and game 4 25-23.
The Robert F. Munroe Bobcats returned to the winner's circle with a 52-13 dismantling of the visiting Eagles of Oak Hall. The Bobcats rushed for 527 yards and the defense stymied the Eagles' ground attack while forcing three turnovers. The Bobcats also had three players rush for over 100 yards.
Final practices and preparations are in place this week in anticipation of district volleyball tournaments next week. Munroe and Tallavana are both in the same District2-2A. Munroe is the top seed in the district and Tallavana the bottom seed. The Lion will face FAMU on Tuesday at FAMU in the first round, and the winner will play Munroe for the championship at FAMU on Thursday.
The East Gadsden Jaguars received plenty of support from their fans as they faced off against the Marianna Bulldogs this past Friday night for their homecoming game. The Jaguar's offense had trouble getting into a rhythm and executing, but their defense played well and kept Marianna's quarterback on his heels the first two quarters of the game and held the Bulldogs to seven points at the half.
For the second week in a row, the Bobcats of Robert F. Munroe Day School roared out to a commanding first-half lead, only to see it slip away in the second half.
The high scoring-affair with the rival Aucilla Christian Warriors, marked by big plays and turnovers, started with a bang as quarterback Will Harris faked a handoff to fullback Daniel Winburn and hit a streaking Jaylen Lewis up the visitor's sideline for a 64-yard scoring strike (Cole Skipper Kick) and an early 7-0 lead.
The four county volleyball teams — East Gadsden, West Gadsden, Tallavana and Munroe — will soon begin district play. In the meantime, they have a little more than a week to go in the regular season. In this week's action:
MUNROE vs. GRACE CHRISTIAN: Grace Christian made short work of the match between themselves and Munroe, winning in three straight. Games 1 and 3 were close with the Cougars winning 25-22 and 25-21. The score for game two was 25-17.
Sports Correspondent
This past Friday the West Gadsden Panthers traveled to Sneads to take on the Pirates for their homecoming game. Minutes before the start of the contest, both the inside of the stadium and the long line outside of the stadium were filled with excited fans of both teams eager to see this rivalry game.
The Wakulla News
It was a game of two halves.
The first half was dominated by the East Gadsden Jaguars on the road against the Wakulla War Eagles on Friday night. The Jaguars capitalized on mistakes made by Wakulla to take a 26-7 first half lead.
But the second half was a different game, and the War Eagles scored 27 unanswered points to win.

RE:Laugh Track
A young woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier, crying. He took pity on her and said, "Look, you've got a lot to live for. I'm off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day." Moving closer, he slipped his arm around her shoulder and added, "I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me happy."
The girl nodded yes. After all, what did she have to lose? That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn. Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain. "What are you doing here?" the captain asked. "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she explained. "I get food and a trip to Europe, and he's screwing me."
"He sure is, lady," the captain said. "This is the Block Island Ferry.

Cinderella was now 75 years old. After a fulfilling life with the
now dead Prince, she happily sat upon her rocking chair, watching the
world go by from her front porch, with a cat called Alan for companionship.
One sunny afternoon, out of nowhere, appeared the Fairy Godmother.
Cinderella said "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all
these years?"
The Fairy Godmother replied "Well Cinderella, since you have lived a
good, wholesome life since we last met, I have decided to grant you 3
Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?" Cinderella is
taken aback, overjoyed and after some thoughtful consideration and almost
under her breath she uttered her first wish: "I wish I was wealthy beyond
comprehension." Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into solid gold.
Cinderella was stunned. Alan, her old faithful cat, jumped off her
lap and scampered to the edge of the porch, quivering with fear.
Cinderella said "Oh thank you, Fairy Godmother". The Fairy Godmother
replied "It is the least I can do. What does your heart wish for
your second wish?"
Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said: "I wish I was young
and full of the beauty of youth again".
At once, her wish having been desired, became reality, and her
beautiful youthful visage had returned.
Cinderella felt stirrings inside her that had been dormant for years
and long forgotten vigor and vitality began to course through her very
Then the Fairy Godmother again spoke, "You have one more wish, what
shall you have?" Cinderella looked over to the frightened cat in the
corner and said, "I wish you to transform Alan, my old cat, into a beautiful,
and handsome young man".
Magically, Alan suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his
biological make-up, that when complete he stood before her, a boy, so
beautiful the like of which she nor the world had ever seen, so fair
indeed that birds begun to fall from the sky at his feet.
The Fairy Godmother again spoke: "Congratulations, Cinderella.
Enjoy your new life." And, with a blazing shock of bright blue
electricity, she was gone.
For a few, eerie moments, Alan and Cinderella looked into each
other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most stunningly
perfect boy she had ever seen.
Then, Alan walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her
rocking chair, and held her close in his young, muscular arms. He leaned in
close to her ear, and into her ear breathed as much as whispered, blowing
her golden hair with his warm breath, "I bet you regret having me neutered
now, don't you?"

Phil Hanlen arrived early for his first meeting as treasurer of the Loma Vista Elementary Parent Teacher Organization.
He took a seat as other members began entering the room.
"As the chairs started filling in I quickly realized I was sitting in a room full of 20 to 30 moms, and I'm the dad," Hanlen said.
That realization was the catalyst for the Loma Vista Dads, a group Hanlen founded in June for men to volunteer at the school in Tustin. More than 100 men have joined so far. The men wear shirts emblazoned with "Manpower" as they strut about the school, helping with morning drop-off and school fundraisers.
A couple of miles away, men in Tustin Memorial Academy's HEROES group are busy earning volunteer hours.
Sean Nitzen and Duncan Miller are co-chairs of HEROES, which stands for "helping enrich the resources of every student." The group dates back to 2003, when former principal Cindy Agopian started the first organized group of men volunteering in Tustin Unified. Now, more than 30 men are active volunteers.
"Moms were the ones that did all the work," Nitzen said. "We kind of tapped into a new resource ... and to get them to play a bigger role."
He spends about three hours a month working at the Tustin Memorial Academy, and is helping the Loma Vista Dads get started.
"The whole point of it is for the dads to be more involved in their kids' curriculum and be on campus," Nitzen said.
Tustin Unified does not require volunteers to submit to background checks because they work under supervision of district employees, said spokesman Mark Eliot.
Across Tustin, schools are seeing more dads, brothers, uncles and grandpas show up to help out. And it's not limited to Tustin schools – schools nationwide are seeing an increase in men volunteering for all manner of tasks.
James Martinez, spokesman for the Virginia-based National PTA, says men across the country are stepping up to play a bigger role in childhood education. In the past 115 years, men involved in PTA had remained steadily at 3 percent, Martinez said.
The National PTA held a survey in 2000 asking men why they were not involved in parent-teacher organizations.
"The No. 1 answer was because they were never asked. So we started asking," Martinez said. The national group encouraged PTAs to create male-friendly programs starting in 2001. By 2008, participation had leapt to a historic high of 10 percent.
In 2009, the National PTA installed the first man as president in the organization's 114-year history. Last year, the group installed its first African American man as president. And the MORE alliance – Men Organized to Raise Engagement – was formed.
"We're breaking a lot of glass ceilings here recently," Martinez said. "It's a historic time for PTA and for parent involvement overall."
This year, male participation is up to 15 percent, and the National PTA is holding an engagement summit for men – a three-day event honoring male role models. The number of men as PTA presidents at schools increased to about 20 percent in 2012.
"Decades of research show a direct link between parent involvement and student achievement regardless of socioeconomic status, religion, race, background," Martinez said. However, he added that student academic success rises when both parents are involved.
"Parent involvement is paramount in the success of the performance of schools," Nitzen said. Having active parents also eases the burden on teachers, he said.
"This is all great news, but there is still a lot of work to do," Martinez said.
Phil Hanlen recalls telling his father that he'd joined the Loma Vista Elementary PTO.
"He's giving me a funny look, asking if I'm serious, and says, 'The PTO – that's a mom thing. Do you know what you're getting yourself into?'" Hanlen said. He stuck with it.
Women still make up the majority of parent-teacher groups, though more men are joining these days. Gender-specific groups give the fathers a place to fit in.
"It's usually pretty fun if you get a bunch of dads in the room who have a similar sense of humor," said Brian Ramos of Bonita Canyon School in Irvine. The campus invites men a few times a year to meet for an update on happenings at the school. Often, men won't get involved if mothers are active volunteers, he said.
"I noticed moms were doing all the work. Only moms were involved in PTA and events," said Hiram Aviles, a founder of Brywood Elementary Dads in Irvine, whose members number about 45. They help out the PTA. Each year in February, the dads hold a talent show fundraiser. Aviles' kids moved on to Sierra Vista Middle School, and he's now the head of the Sierra Vista Charger Dads.
Like the Brywood Dads, the 75 members of the Woodbury Elementary Dads club in Irvine also help the PTA.
Anthony Bonfiglio says fathers in the club have formed strong friendships – as well as softball and soccer teams – and often get together socially.
"It's always about the kids, enriching those kids' lives," Bonfiglio said. "That's the biggest reason any of us should do this."

However they did it 6 times and only succeeded 5 times doing that.
The Russians used it to extinguish gas, which sounds harder to me.
The only problem is that if it does NOT work or even makes the situation worse
Well, BP is interested in making money, the administration is interested in getting reelected, which gives me some confidence that they'll try to avoid making things worse. And they could still drill a relief well, as before.

Shares of Embraer (ERJ) have gained 1.5% to $38.61 today after J.P. Morgan upgraded the Brazilian airplane manufacturer to Neutral from Underweight.
J.P. Morgan's Joseph Nadol and team explain the reasoning behind their ratings boost:
After a strong start to 2013, the stock has lagged our group by 14% since January despite a steady stream of positive news including more legacy E-Jet orders, a successful launch of the E-Jet E2, and a depreciation of the real that should drive EPADS estimates up by ~30 cents on an annualized basis, likely due in part to poor performance in the Brazilian stock market. We are taking the opportunity to upgrade the stock in front of what we see as likely upward consensus estimate revisions after the company reports Q2 earnings on Thursday after the close.
The analysts do have their reservations, however. They explain:
…our rating only advances to Neutral rather than Overweight due to the weak cash conversion we expect in both the short and longer term. Management has indicated that free cash flow should be minimal over a multiyear period, and while we believe this characterization contains a dose of conservatism, aircraft development costs, including $1.7 bn for the E-2, should remain elevated through the decade. Most of this spending will be capitalized, lowering the cash conversion rate and reducing earnings quality, and while the E2 should eventually drive some market share gain, we see this as largely "maintenance" cap-ex that is not yet captured in earnings.
Embraer's shares have gained 35% so far this year, well above the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF's (EWZ) 20% drop, but below Boeing's (BA) 44% rise.
And speaking of Boeing, the U.S. airline manufacturer has gained 0.2% today, after reporting better than expected earnings. The Wall Street Journal has the details:
Boeing reported a profit of $1.09 billion, or $1.41 a share, up from $967 million, or $1.27 a share, a year earlier. Core operating earnings—which exclude pension components related to market fluctuations and other impacts—were $1.67 a share compared with $1.48 a year earlier. Revenue rose 9% to $21.82 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently projected earnings of $1.58 a share on revenue of $20.78 billion.
For the year, the company raised its per-share earnings estimate to between $6.20 and $6.40 on revenue of between $83 billion and $86 billion, from its previous estimate for $5 to $5.20 a share and $82 billion to $85 billion in revenue.

OFA is the host of EIC data:
Go to the second scrollable column of the section labeled "Report Type," scroll down below the DNA subheading and click on Exercise Induced Collapse. Then click the "begin search" button at the bottom of the table.
There are 149 entries listed as of 11/12/08
149-isn't that sad that the U of MN has tested so many more than that! Oh well let the buyers/breeders beware. At least we can search the rest of the genetic issues with Labs with confidance.
Mike Peters
The Lab Quarterly ran an article in their last issue (Fall 2008) arriving in mailboxes this week, urging owners to test their dogs. I think that we will see more than 149 - we just have to be patient.

I think it was stated it would take several weeks for OFA to get them up. I'm holding on to mine to send them in all together and get the price break, but just ask someone if you want to know their results or look on their website.149-isn't that sad that the U of MN has tested so many more than that!

I will go out on a limb to say that less than 50% of dogs tested will be listed on OFA's site. Time will tell.
Mike Peters
The paperwork that I received with my EIC results said something about having to pay $15 for OFA to list the EIC results. Many folks may not be willing to pay that just to have it listed.
Am I correct in this recollection about the fee? If so, why would OFA list CERF without a fee but not EIC... or is the fee included in the CERF exam?

i missed some really good stuff today!!!!!
rookie is correct, we alabama fans love to talk about "the good ol' days". note my post #1,004 talking about bama winning more rose bowls than all but 5 teams from the combined b1G, pac12. and bama aint even been invited since 1946!
if the ap is the only, "stand the test of time" way. hell, let's just keep it! i always liked the idea of having to beat people so bad that even those east and west coast voters who hated you had no option but to vote for you!
but i like the bcs just fine. it keeps us talking smack all year long! the entire season is a playoff, right? someone is still gonna be bitchin, 4, 8 or 64!
i am not sure the upcoming "football tournament" is the best way to award a seasonal champ. it will just identify who is hot and not injured. this year in baseball was the first in several years when the two teams with the best records played in the series and i never like it when a wildcard team wins the series!
to compare what we are talking about, assume we were talking the national open with 90 to 120 dogs annually participating. let's say for example farmer won three of the last four, milligan won one, edwards won one and rorem(i know he winters in texas) won two of the last seven national opens. it would stand to reason that fans of the texas circuit would be a little touchy when someone on rtf came in and low rated the level of dog coming out of texas. that's all!
john mccallie
Yea I'm tracking man. Just pointing out the whole #1 Team and AP Poll non-sense.
I (DO) think Neb. was the best team that year and had they played Mich. would likely have beat them.
I also think the AP Poll is the REASON College Football was broken.
It has NOT stood the test of time which is why better systems have been created.
Since when do we trust the MEDIA(AP Poll)? Their bias can bee seen throughout the years. Splitting National Titles based off of pure bias.
Marvin S
Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
The problem is that though they tried to create a better system, I believe they failed. I think the current BCS system is just as arbitrary as the old AP, yet they created this giant media machine with glitzy trophy that lends and air of supremacy to the title it doesn't deserve. That 2003 season end is a perfect example, I believe the AP humans got it right and the preprogramed computers were wrong, both systems were arbitrary, yet the "BCS" champ gets to hold up that glitzy trophy and proclaim for eternity they were the National champs. I am less cynical about the AP than you are, I believe they are humans with all human failings, but I believe they try to get it right.
Plus the whole PRE-SEASON Rank is bullcrap too.
You could essentially always make certain teams start at the bottom.
The BCS(System) with a Play-off System would be MONEY!
The AP can take it to the house.

VIDEO: Raw highlights of Eastern's win over Western Oregon
It was fast and it was furious.
The Eastern Washington University football team scored 29 points in the first quarter behind the arm and legs of sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams and went on to a 43-14 non-conference victory over Western Oregon Saturday (Sept. 7) at Roos Field.
"I loved the way we started both halves with speed coming out," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin, who had not been a part of a 2-0 team in his 10 seasons as head coach or assistant coach at EWU until now. "I loved the way we came out firing. I loved the way our defense played almost the entire game. We made some mistakes, and we were close to a shutout, but we don't get too worried about that. I thought we played a pretty consistent ballgame all day."
Fresh off the biggest win in school history, the second-ranked Eagles were facing a former NAIA rival of EWU in the 1970's. Eastern, a member of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, defeated Oregon State 49-46 the previous week in Corvallis, Ore.
Adams, who won a variety of national honors – include an appearance in Sports Illustrated – after finishing with a school-record 518 yards versus the Beavers, had 217 total yards and four touchdown passes in the first quarter alone. He completed 8-of-9 passes for 189 yards, and also rushed for 28 yards during EWU's onslaught in the first 15 minutes.
He played just the third quarter in the second half and finished the game 18-of-24 for 298 yards, five touchdowns and a pair of interceptions, and added 45 yards on the ground.
"He really does (special things)," Baldwin said of Adams. "He has an energy and a motor, and it becomes infectious not just with the offense, but with the whole team. It was great to start the way we did."
Eastern finished the game with 597 yards of offense and held WOU to 217, including a commanding 254-3 advantage in the first quarter for EWU.
Eastern scored touchdowns on its first possessions after scoring on nine of 10possessions against OSU. Adams had TD passes of 63 yards to Cooper Kupp, 4 yards to Zack Gehring, 15 yards to Cory Mitchell and 58 yards to Shaquille Hill in the first quarter. Eastern's four scoring drives covered 75, 20, 56 and 78 yards.
After a scoreless second quarter, Adams directed EWU on a 70-yard scoring drive to open the third quarter, capped by an 8-yard TD pass to Hill. After having a potential school-record sixth touchdown pass wiped out because of a penalty, Adams played just one more series before backup Anthony Vitto closed out the game. Vitto had a 14-yard touchdown pass by true freshman Kendrick Bourne to end EWU's scoring.
Hill finished with a career-high eight catches for 117 yards, and Kupp caught three for 77 yards. Junior Quincy Forte, who missed the OSU game with a hamstring injury, led the Eagles on the ground with 99 yards on 13 carries.
Defensively, senior safety Allen Brown intercepted a pair of passes, giving him four in his career. Senior linebacker J.C. Agen led the Eagles with a seven tackles, and fellow backers Jordan Talley and Albert Havili each had five.
Junior linebacker Cody McCarthy had four tackles, a sack and a pass broken up, and senior cornerback T.J. Lee III had a pair of tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a pass broken up and a fumble recovery.
Since equaling a school-record with six touchdown passes in the second half alone in the 2012 FCS Playoffs against Sam Houston State, Adams has completed 55-of-80 passes for 1,073 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions in less than five full halves of action. He also has 178 rushing yards and two scores in that span, with an impressive 240.5 passing efficiency rating.
Western Oregon, located just 21 miles from Corvallis where the Eagles upset the 25th-ranked Beavers, was playing its season opener at EWU. The Wolves are a member of the NCAA Division II Great Northwest Conference.
Prior to Saturday, Eastern had played WOU four times since 2000 in non-conference affairs, with EWU winning all four by an average score of 42-12. Prior to those four meetings, Western Oregon was 9-2-1 in the first 12 games in the series, dating back to a 19-19 tie in 1931.
The Eagles are a member of the Big Sky Conference and moved up two spots to fourth in this week's Sports Network top-25 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision poll. The Eagles and are also second by the coaches after ranking fourth and third, respectively, in the two polls entering the season.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
Car accidents never sound like they're supposed to sound.
Most of my experience with collisions comes from television and movies, so it's a letdown when the real thing happens.
You might get screeching tires and a metallic crunch, but no dreamy music to maximize the experience, no slow-motion views of twirling glass crystals, no loved one far away sensing something's gone wrong.
The sound is more fake when I'm actually in the accident, rather than witnessing another person's trouble.
That's because the thud of vehicles can't rise above the silent screaming that explodes inside my skull. How can the sound of two pieces of fiberglass colliding compete with inner rage at my own stupidity or someone else's?
For some reason, it is the opposite when I see a fight in real life. My memory banks are full of choreographed cinematic battles, but an actual fist-against-fist throwdown is far more disturbing. No contest.
It's been decades since the last fight I was in. Those experiences were naturally intense because the threat was so personal.
But watching other people fight also shocks the system. I saw a brawl the other day while stopped on Eason Boulevard at Gloster Street. If anyone had been in the car with me, they would've seen my jaw drop and hang open as the drama unfolded.
A well-dressed, angry man got out of his car and walked to the window of an SUV. The guy in the SUV rolled his window down. That was a mistake because the guy outside threw several punches before the window went back up.
After the light changed, the SUV drove off. The assailant walked back to his blue sedan and followed.
I watched him drive by, and he looked normal. That is, I wouldn't have guessed he'd been angry enough to strike someone a few moments earlier.
Maybe he worked the venom out of his system, though I've read that's a myth. According to studies, acting out one's aggression doesn't necessarily get rid of the anger. Sometimes, there's an amplifying effect.
I don't know the SUV driver's offense, but it was probably something you and I have done to more forgiving drivers in the past.
It was altogether strange, and it didn't end when the men drove away. I played with the situation in my mind. What would I have done?
I'd like to think I wouldn't have rolled down the window if I were the SUV driver. If I were the other guy, I'd like to think I wouldn't have left my car.
I considered other scenarios, too. What about a knife? What about a gun? What about a kid in the SUV who watched as I turned into an ogre and attacked his dad?
No lives were lost and no one was seriously injured. It was a minor event, really, but it was so real, and so regrettably human.

Once a poor-man's grog, gin is now a choice tipple, notes Don Kavanagh.
Gin has a long and sometimes shady history.
It is associated with England, although it didn't reach those shores until 1688, when some folk decided they'd prefer to have the Dutchman, William of Orange, as their king instead of a Scotsman.
Developed in the Netherlands as a stomach tonic, the original gin was a strongly juniper-flavoured spirit. But when it came to England, it came into its own. Not without a few problems along the way, of course.
At first, no licence was needed to make gin, thus thousands of ginmills popped up in London alone and the product was often mixed with ingredients such as turpentine and creosote to hide the vile flavour. Cheap and readily available, it kicked off a long upsurge in crime. However, in the 1700s, the government introduced taxes on gin and the prices rose beyond the reach of the poor.
It also improved the quality of the product, as better-off customers demanded a cleaner, more sophisticated spirit.
With the spread of the British Empire, gin became the drink of choice worldwide.
It developed into two distinct styles: London dry gin is more austere, while the Plymouth style is oilier and sweeter.
But by the 1980s, gin was in decline, perceived to be the province of maiden aunts and retired colonels. It wasn't until the cocktail boom of the late 90s and early 2000s that gin's ascent became unstoppable. These days there are many styles. I was impressed by three gins I tried recently. Caorunn comes from the Balmenach single malt distillery and has an almost grape-like note at the front and lovely citrus tones. It's inviting and accessible. The palate is outstanding, with great herbal notes of cardamom, basil and juniper. Hendricks comes from the Glenfiddich distillery and has a lovely cucumber note. It's an effortlessly brilliant gin.
From the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay comes the Botanist, an incredibly botanical gin with every aroma you could imagine - juniper, coriander, basil - and it packs a fantastic flavour punch.
Interesting that the three best gins I've tried recently have all been Scottish, despite that the spirit came into Britain as the result of a Dutchman replacing a Scot. C'est la vie.

Badfinger comprised Pete Ham (1947—1975), Tom Evans (1947—1983), Joey Molland (born 1947) and Mike Gibbins (1949—2006). They signed to Apple in 1968 as The Iveys, with a line-up that originally included Ron Griffiths (born 1946). The name change occurred in late 1969, upon Ron's departure, Joey's arrival, and the release of their breakthrough single 'Come And Get It', written and produced by Paul McCartney for the Peter Sellers / Ringo Starr movie, The Magic Christian.
Badfinger was a consistent hit-maker for Apple Records, with a string of top quality chart singles to their name: they followed 'Come And Get It' with 'No Matter What', 'Day After Day' and, outside of the UK, 'Baby Blue'. The band issued four highly-regarded albums for Apple: Magic Christian Music (1970), which included two further songs from the film, No Dice (1970), Straight Up (1972) and Ass (1974). One song originally found on No Dice is 'Without You', not officially released by Badfinger as a single, but which became a massive global success when covered by Harry Nilsson in 1972 and by Mariah Carey in 1994. Badfinger's Joey Molland is still writing and recording today.

The first movie I ever saw was Song of the South (a story that continues to enchant me even today) at the Capital Movie Theater in Concord, N.H. Peter and I were about five years old and I recall that we had to wear a bandana over out mouth and nose in the movie theater. You see, Nana Perkins had suffered from polio and she and our mom were scared to death that the twins might become inflicted. We were rarely allowed to be in a crowd of people. At the time our family lived with Nana Perkins in the little village of Loudon located east of Concord. This was the only movie theater I was ever in until I was in high school.
When we were about six our family moved to Walpole, N.H. and I recall that on rather rare occasions Mom and Dad would bundle us into the car and we'd go into Bellows Falls, Vermont, to the drive-in-theater. I have no recollection of what movies we saw.
When some of our high school friends got their drivers license it was easier to get into Bellows Falls or Keene to see a movie, that is if I'd saved up enough money to pay for a ticket.
Growing up in small villages (Loudon and Walpole, N.H. where I graduated from high school) did not lend itself to easy access to movie theaters.
During the past twenty-six years I think I've been to a movie theater about four times—to see Gettysburg, Jane Eyre, Cold Mountain, and recently the King's Speech.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Crooked River OR report
Unfortunately the damsel was not the one having breakfast with Mike and me. It was a buddy of mine who lives outside of Olympia WA. I brought him to the fly fishing world a few years ago and drag him along on this trip every year.
RE:Crooked River OR report
Gregg -
Beautiful account of a great adventure! So... let's see you saved a damsel in distress and then the <b>three</b> of you had breakfast???
Thanks for the awesome report.
Crooked River OR report
Well we are back and with a wonderful report. The trip to the Crooked river of course started with a long plane flight during which I received a good omen if you believe in that sort of thing. For the last hour and a half or so of the flight I was treated to nature's laser show the Aurora Borealis. The light show was primarily shimmering diaphanous emerald punctuated by occasional fine shafts that extended impossibly to the heavens fading out with a nearly imperceptible rose red.
The next morning we were off to Smith Rock and some world class rock climbing. Not being a climbing page I will leave the details out with the exception of a few items. The weather and scenery were nothing short of awesome. A flight of at least 30,000 geese at 5am is a great alarm clock. And finally, I got to be a knight in shinning armor and rescue a damsel in distress who was halfway down a climb when she ran out of rope.
The "rescue" cliff
From Smith Rock we made the 20 minute drive upstream to our fishing camp on the bank of the Crooked River. The river was about a foot lower and much clearer than is usual for this time of year and I was hopeful that would mean slightly warmer water and more insect hatches. The hatches never materialized and the most productive fishing was subsurface. The key to the catching was a bead head prince nymph in size 10 to 14 trailed by one of my home grown san juan worms. Both flies were equal producers with the larger fish seeming to prefer the san juan worm.
The infamous bat catching spot.
The first day Mike landed 58 using the above method while I insisted on occasionally using drys and managed only 37. My ego took a bit of a blow being so savagely beaten in the numbers game. (I know many outgrow the number thing but I cant seem to shake it. I feel no shame about it and will continue to get a thrill from each fish dinker trout to toothy salmon and beefy striper.) So I announced that I was going to reach the century mark for the first time on the next day.
I got up early and cooked breakfast for the three of us and hurried the group along so I could meet my goal of 100 fish. By 8:30 I was on the stream and starting the long count. I fished harder than I ever have in my life and I was beyond exhausted by the end of the day. I had to make every cast count and it was a great exercise in water reading and cast placement but I missed a lot of the beauty of the day. (Hmmm, perhaps I am starting to learn to let go of the numbers thing just a little bit. ) My last cast had me wading precariously deep in a ripping current casting to a difficult to reach riffle. It was pretty dark at 9pm and I was fishing mostly by feel when my 100th fish took the san juan worm and eventually came to my hand. It was like all the others from the day a beautiful fish with dark spots, chrome sides, a stripe of red on the lateral line, and just a hint of orange on both sides of its throat. I almost literally stumbled back to camp to announce my success and a vow to never intentionally do it again.
The Crooked near our campsite.
The next half day I put away the nymph and san juan and stuck to drys. The fish were not rising but I enjoyed the challenge and the four fish that graced the end of my line were all the more special.
A great trip and I cant wait for next years adventure.
