=Damage Abilities=
Kill Command (KC)
Our primary nuke ability. You want to use this as often as possible.
Serpent Sting (SrS)
Since Cobra Shot refreshes this, you will only have to apply it once per target in most cases. It has low DPS but a very high DPCT (theoretically infinite, with cobra shot refreshing it).
Arcane Shot (AS)
This is focus dump ability. No cooldown, 25 focus (22 with 3/3 Efficiency).
Cobra Shot (CoS)
Always use this in place of Steady Shot. Generates 9 focus and refreshes Serpent Sting.
Hunter's Mark (HM)
AP bonus, always put this up before combat if possible.
Multi Shot (MS)
Together with Explosive Trap our AoE abilities.
Explosive Trap (ExT)
It ticks every 2 seconds, 10 times total for AoE fire damage.
Immolation Trap (ImT)
Right now it looks like this cannot crit and flat out does less damage on single target than explosive trap
Kill Shot (KS)
Not quite as strong as it used to be (150% weapon damage, down from 200%) but still quite powerful. One of its main benefits is that it costs no focus.
In Cataclysm we have two important aspects during fights: Hawk and Fox. For PVE, the primary benefit of each is that Hawk provides additional AP and Fox allows you to cast Cobra Shot while moving. Ideally, you will not have to use Fox and can do all of your movement while casting instant shot casts (everything but Cobra Shot) and in between auto shot casts. In practice, there will probably be times when you want to move while not having the focus for instant cast shots. Aspects are on a separate global cooldown (GCD) from other abilities, so you can swap between Hawk and Fox without losing a GCD for damage abilities.
=Rotation / Priority=
The most basic priority for single targets will be something like this:
1. If your pet is on the target, Kill Command
2. If the mob is going to live long enough, apply Serpent Sting.
3. If mob is below 20% health, Kill Shot
4. If you have enough focus to cast Kill command on CD, Arcane Shot
5. Cobra Shot
In a given 6 second cycle you should be able to fit 1 Kill Command, 1 Arcane Shot and 2 Cobra Shots with any excess time from shortened casttime going to extra arcane shots over time as focus allows and additional Cobrashots.
Our shortest length "big" cooldown, it lasts for 10 seconds. The talent Longevity and the Glyph, brings the cooldown down to 70 seconds (1.17 minutes). The primary benefit of Bestial Wrath is that it reduces the focus cost of all our focus costing abilities by 50%. In addition it increases the pets damage done by 20% and with The Beast Within it also increases the hunters damage by 10% for the duration.
During Bestial Wrath you do not want to use Cobra Shot to regenerate focus, since the only benefit to Cobra Shot is 10% more damage. You want to make sure you have focus before using BW. During a BW you should be able to get off 2 Kill Commands and 6-7 Arcane shots, possibly using Fervor if you are low on focus before you use BW. BW should not be used while under Rapid Fire or external haste effects unless not using it will cause you to lose 1 or more BW's over the course of the fight.
Fervor has the same base cooldown as Bestial wrath, 2 minutes, however it is not affected by Longevity. Fervor instantly grants both us and our pet 50 focus and has no other strings attached. This is best used when both hunter and pet can benefit the most from it, but most often the usage will depend on the hunters focus need.
Focus Fire is a personal haste boost that lasts 20 second and is on a 15 second Cooldown. How much haste we get is dependant on our pet. Frenzy stacks on our pet once per basic attack (3 second cooldown) to a maximum of 5 stacks. Focus Fire consumes these stacks, and grant us 3% haste for each stack thus consumed. The build-up time for Frenzy is 15 seconds of pet-on-the-target time, meaning that we will have a near constant 15% haste bonus. Focus Fire should be used when full, in theory on cooldown, but with the 4.3 change to duration we have a little leeway now.The exception is just before a BW, as the frenzy stacks on the pet increase the attack speed of the pet by up to 30% (at 5 stacks) and we don't benefit massively from the haste during BW per above. This increased attackspeed for the pet translates directly into more damage from the pets autoattacks.
A 5 minute cooldown that increases our ranged attack speed by 40% (50% if glyphed) for 15 seconds. Together with Focus Fire, this should see our Cobrashot at a 1.0-1.2 second cast time. Even at this casttime Arcane Shot wins over Cobra Shot Shot in DPCT, so during Rapid Fire you should stick yo your regular rotation casting Cobra Shots between your Kill Commands and adding any arcane shots possible. Rapid Fire should not be used whiler under Bestial Wrath or external haste effects like Bloodlust since we would then waste a lot of the haste effect.
Ancient Hysteria / Bloodlust / Heroism / Time Warp.
As BM hunters we can provide this otherwise external haste buff by bringing a Core Hound. Ancient Hysteria (or one of the other names) buffs the haste of the entire party or raid by 30% for 40 seconds. This is slightly less than Rapid Fire, but should still see our Cobra Shot casttime approach the GCD. Under AH maintain your regular priority, as above under RF.
Improved Kill Command - Required. Kill Command is our bread and butter, so a 10% increased chance to crit with it is a no-brainer.
One with Nature - Required. AotH has been buffed to provide 2.700 AP. Each point in OwN is now a straight 351 AP increase with Animal handler and fully talented, OwN gives us 1053 AP (1158 AP when under the influence of BoM, TSA or AM).
Bestial Discipline - Recommended. Recommended if your pet is not getting the full benefit of Wild Hunt every time - additionally it is a better choice than the tier 2 utility talents for output.
Pathfinding - Not Recommended. Pathfinding provides a mounted speed increase of 10% which does not stack with the level 3 Guild Perk, Mount Up. Leaving Pathfinding at a miserable 4/8% speed increase to Aspect of the Pack/Cheetah.
Spirit Bond - Recommended. Not only does Spirit Bond provide a (small and passive) self heal, it increases the healing done on you (and your pet) by 10%. In the new environment where mana matters to your healers, this is a good investment - additionally there isn't a lot of choice at this point in the tree.
Frenzy - Required. Frenzy increases the attack speed of your pet by 6% for every basic attack (stacking to 30%), Frenzy can also be consumed by Focus Fire for hunter haste.
Improved Mend Pet - Optional. If your healers have time (and mana) to spare to keep your pet cleansed, this point doesn't provide a real benefit. If you are expected to keep your own pet alive and functional to spare the healers, the cleansing effect can be nice. With Mend Pet ticking every 2 seconds, 1 point here could easily be enough.
Cobra Strikes - Required. This talent directly increases the damage from your pet. Since we want to add as many arcane shots into the cycle as possible without delying Kill command, you should see this trigger quite often.
Fervor - Required. This talent unlocks Bestial Wrath, and is a pretty good ability in its own right-
Focus Fire - Required. This is our constant haste function, should be kept on CD except during BW and the first 15 seconds of a fight.
Longevity - Required. Reduces the CD of BW by 30%. Pet special abilities aren't that important, and neither is intimidation.
Killing Streak - Required. This reduces the focus cost and increases the damage done after 2 successive Kill Command Crits. The successive crits don't have to happen within the same combat.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimera - Not Recommended. In a group or rading environment you should not be getting hit with anything that triggers this talent.
Bestial Wrath - Required. See the in depth workings above.
Ferocious Inspiration - Required. While the bufff can be provided by others, this talent is a prerequisit for Invigoration.
Kindred Spirits - Recommended. While the 10 extra focus may seem static, this allows us to build up our focus before unloading it through BW. 10 extra focus is almost 1 more Arcane Shot before needing to use Fervor (if at all)
The Beast Within - Required. This is the talent that grants the hunter the benefits described under Bestial Wrath above.
Invigoration - Required. 6 Focus everytime the pet crits on a basic attack (1 basic attack every 3 seconds), this is the talent that will let you use Arcane Shot more often.
Beast Mastery - Required. Unlike previously, the ability to bring exotic pets to a raid is now required to be a Beast Mastery hunter. The Exotic pets have some of the better raid buffs that can be missing. All exotic pets (except the Shale Spider) also gets 2 abilities to use, 2 of them have a channeled AoE attack.
Go for the Throat - Required. See the pet section for more details, but obtaining more focus for pets is now a worthwhile pursuit.
Efficiency - Optional. 3 focus reduction for Arcane Shot.
Rapid Killing - Not Recommended.
Sic 'Em! - Recommended. It can be recommended for the same reason as Go for the Throat. Has the potential to be very strong for BM due to mastery and Wild Hunt, dependant on the amount of Arcane shots you get out and your crit chance.
Improved Steady Shot - Not Recommended. Not worth using Steady Shot over Cobra Shot.
Careful Aim - Optional - Not very strong, and competes with Pathing in the Survival tree.
Hunter vs. Wild - Not Recommended. Should only be considered if you find yourself consistently lacking health. Not worth it compared to the other options in any other scenario.
Pathing - Recommended. 3% haste for 3 talent points is not what I consider a strong talent, but it is, nonetheless, a good option - competes with Sic'Em and Careful Aim.
Improved Serpent Sting - Recommended. 5/10% increased crit chance for Serpent Sting is a good option.
Survival Tactics - Optional.
Trap Mastery - Optional.
Entrapment - Optional. Probably encounter specific for PVE.
Point of No Escape - Optional. Bosses will not trigger Frost Trap and the crit bonus now only affects you, so this talent is fairly weak.
Sample build:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft Not much room to change anything inthe BM tree. I have chosen to go for full Sic'Em in this sample build, and go for 1/3 Pathing as 2/2 ISrS. The 10% increased chance to crit for SrS is arguably more valuable than 2% haste, but is a matter of taste. The build has been changed from the previous sample build to include 3/3 OwN and 2/2 Sic'Em.
Recommended Prime Glyphs:
Kill Command - 3 focus cost reduction of KC
Kill Shot - effectively lets you do back to back Kill Shot
Arcane Shot - 12% Arcane Shot damage
Other Prime Glyphs (in alphabetical order):
Rapid Fire - +10% haste
Serpent Sting - 6% crit
Neither of these provide as much benefit as the above in a stand still fight.
Reccomended Major Glyphs:
Bestial Wrath - Reduces the cooldown of BW by 20 seconds (down to a total of 70 seconds with Longevity)
From a damage perspective, there are no other required major glyphs for every scenario, although Trap Launcher is recommended for any AoE situations (with Explosive Trap). As a BM hunter 2 other major glyphs do stick out intuitively - Mending and Misdirection. With glyph of Mending a tenacity pet can easily tank a mob for a short (or longer) while without requiring much, if any, attention from healers. A properly specced tank pet will be healed for 6k+ hps from mend pet alone in entry level (ilvl 346 blue) gear. With a 2 second cast to switch out your pet (equivalent of 1 lost Cobra Shot) and a taunt, you have a real "Oh snap" ability here.
Recommended Minor Glyphs:
Revive Pet - Should the worst happen and our pet die, we need to revive it. Revive is no longer reduced by talents, and is a (base) 10 second cast. Avoiding pushbacks during it is essential in the cases where we need our pet up and about. It is not possible to summon another pet if your current pet is dead.
Pets are a major source of damage for BM hunters. They inherit 100% of the hunter's hit, haste, and crit, and scale considerably from AP. All 3 pet types (Ferocity, Tenacity and Cunning) inherit the same AP scaling, so the only difference in the potential damage output is the pet talents. This means it is okay to bring a tenacity pet if the raidbuff it provides is needed, as you will only lose what the pet talents provide.
That being said, right now, Ferocity and Cunning pets are both close in theoretical damage and require more numbers before one becomes more preferable than the other. Ferocity has the advantage of Rabid and Call of the Wild, although the long cooldown and short duration of Call of the Wild lessen its value (though it is greater for BM than for the other 2 specs, thanks to Longevity). Cunning has decent talents in Feeding Frenzy, Roar of Recovery, and Owl's Focus, but Wolverine Bite is currently poor.
Ferocity: Hunter Pet Calculator - Wowhead (looks like There are a couple debatable points. First, the points in Bloodthirsty could go to Boar's Speed and / or Charge. I have opted to put them in Bloodthirsty because we as BM rely heavily on our pets (without them we have Arcane Shot and Cobra Shot),even after happiness has been removed the heal will help the pet stay alive in situations that might otherwise kill it.
The point in Charge coul also be put in Boars Speed. BS is nice but not required, likewise Charge will only affect the first attack in any given fight, so whether to opt for BS or Charge is a matter of taste, personally I prefer the increased movement speed at all times, especially because of the immobilization from charge which tends to make adds go out of sync with eachother in movement - not ideal in a raid environment at all.
Cunning: Hunter Pet Calculator - Wowhead
As BM we get to have more points that can be spent on specific damage increasing talents for a cunning pet. The main points in this tree would be Owl's Focus combined with Wild Hunt, as well as Feeding Frenzy. The point that went in Carrion Feeder pre 4.1 has been moved to 1/2 Cornered in this build, and 2/2 cornered could be worth it for some fights like Chimaeron.
Multi-Shot is our base AoE tool. It costs 40 focus and incurs a normal GCD as of 4.1. As BM we can couple Multishot with BW and fire them off at a cost of 20 focus, giving us 6 Multi-Shots back to back.
Explosive Trap is our other AoE ability. It has a small base damage (29 per tick) but with a 54.5% RAP coefficient it does a substantial amount of damage. It is also our most efficient ability by far, costing 0 focus if dropped in place or 20 focus with Trap Launcher (10 focus glyphed). Explosive Trap's major caveat is obviously that it requires the target(s) to stay in the targeted area for 20 seconds for full effect, making it impractical on some fights.
Beast Mastery hunters can bring exotic pets, and in AoE situations this means we can increase our damage by bringing a Worm or a Chimaera.
The Worm can channel an AoE attack called Burrow Attack. When this is used the pet burrows underground for 8 seconds dealing damage every second. Burrow attack does 11.52% of our RAP + 205 damage per second over 8 seconds, so at 10k RAP burrow attack does 1357 dps to each enemy in the attacks radius. Burrow Attack is on a 30 second cooldown.
The Chimaera also gets a channled AoE attack, Froststorm Breath. FsB does less damage as a base since it does 11.52% of our RAP + 205 every 2 seconds over 8 seconds, so at 10k RAP FsB does 678.5 dps (half of Burrow Attack). Froststorm Breath, unlike Burrow Attack, does not have a cooldown, so if the AoE situation lasts more than 16 seconds, Froststorm Breath will do higher dps while AoE'ing.
I've used a roughly BIS with all / best raidbuffs enabled list to get these numbers, with the theory that we can derive some broader understanding of stats. For less generalized stat weights, it is recommended that you use your gear in Rivkah's DPS Analyzer or similar tool.
Your best stat, by far, with the possible exception of hit. One agility provides 2 AP and 1/324.85 critical strike percent, before scaling. You get 5% extra from wearing all mail, 5% from raid buffs. The AP is again increased by 30% by Animal Handler, the passive BM benefit, and 10% from raid buffs. Agility is so much better than any secondary stat that some Wrath enchants that are pure agility come out significantly ahead of the 50 and 65 rating points in mastery, crit or haste that newer enchants give.
Gearing for the hit cap is generally a good idea. Ranged attacks have a 8% chance to miss against mobs 3 levels higher than us and each point of hit rating gives us 1/120.109%, so we need 961 hit to reach this, or 841 for draenei.
The consensus is that it is better to be slightly over than slightly under the hit cap
Attack Power
Raw attack power is going to be rare, but still exists for some enchants, Pure AP is the slightly better than crit/haste/mastery point for point.
Almost all abilities crit for 200% damage, or 206% damage with a . Some exceptions include Explosive Trap and Serpent Sting which uses spell crit damage (and crit chance) - 150%, or immolation trap which cannot crit.
Mastery affects all damage done by our pet, including Kill Command, and each point of mastery increases pet damage by 1.7%. Mastery beats haste hands down.
Haste affects both the speed of your shots (cobra and auto) and your rate of focus regeneration. You need 128.057 haste rating to get 1% haste. Haste effects generally scale multiplicatively. If you have 32% haste from gear, 3% from Pathing, and Rapid Fire, a base casting time of X would now be X/1.32/1.03/1.4. Procs that increase haste rating will stack additively with your total haste rating value (32% in this example). Focus regeneration appears to be a base of 4 focus per second scaling multiplicatively with haste; i.e. 30% haste would be 4*1.3=5.2 fps. You will likely not see a huge increase in focus regen from upgrading gear. Haste is further devalued with the 2t13 bonus, as we will be using CoS a lot less.
Mastery or Haste?
First you should reforge to hit cap (961 rating if you are not a Draenei), as close as possible, from any of the other 3 secondary stats.
Haste/Mastery: Reforge Haste to Crit unless Mastery is significantly higher than haste (40-60% higher), then reforge Mastery to Crit.
Crit/Haste: Reforge Haste to Mastery
Crit/Mastery: Don't do anything
Head: (Ramkahen Revered)
Shoulders: (Therazane Exalted) or Swiftsteel Inscription (Scribes only)
Wrist: or Draconic Embossment - Agility (Leatherworkers only)
Boots: (if not using . Movement speed is somewhat less powerful as a DPS increase in the age of Aspect of the Fox as well.)
Two-Hand Weapon:
Ranged: outperforms the others by a fair margin. Alternatively or
Nota Bene! The three enchants here that use Wrath of the Lich King mats are not cheap alternatives to Cataclysm enchants. They are on par with or superior to the Cataclysm alternatives.
Gem choices are fairly obvious now that our only viable meta gem is . Agility is more than twice as valuable as any secondary stat, so with superior quality gems the only socket bonuses worth picking up are those that give 20 agility or more. For example, the tier helmet and chest. Other sockets can safely be filled with with socket bonuses ignored.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSThree-Judge Panel Delays Decision On Effort To Remove Nicholas County Commissioners From Office
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Bob Aaron, Jeff Morris
Reported: Jun. 10, 2014 4:49 PM EDT
Updated: Jun. 10, 2014 6:12 PM EDT
Summersville , Nicholas County , West Virginia
A three-judge panel on Tuesday delayed a decision on whether the Nicholas County Commission acted illegally when it hired a county administrator.
The panel decided it would wait until the West Virginia Supreme Court makes a decision on county commissioners' appeal of a circuit judge's decision. The circuit judge ruled that the commission's hiring of the administrator was improper.
Local residents filed a petition with more than 200 signatures, objecting the move by the county commission to hire the administrator and seeking to have the commissioners removed from office. The residents claim the commission committed open meetings law violations and that the commission's move to hire a county administrator was illegal. Residents said they believe voters should have had an opportunity to decide whether the county should have a county administrator because it changes the form of government.

Are you currently searching for a wise investment to make? If you have watched the stock market reach new heights, only to drop in value, you might wonder about the value of your portfolio when you reach retirement age. Having the ability to put your money in a more stable investment is a wise decision that most people realize they have to make. One of the best investments that any person can roll their money into is a Gold IRA. This article will discuss the benefits of getting a gold backed ira, and also how easy it is to purchase gold bars and coins that will provide you with a sizable retirement in the next few decades.
What Is A Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA represents an individual retirement account that has value because gold is stored instead of paper assets. This can be in the form of gold bars or gold coins, both of which will retain their value, and also increase in value, as the years pass by. In most cases you will invest in what is called a self-directed IRA which makes it much easier to diversify your portfolio. Self-directed IRAs are designed to allow the owner to utilize a trustee to invest additional funding into a wider variety of investments.
Getting A Gold Individual Retirement Account
An individual retirement account that has gold as part of the portfolio is something that is very easy to gain access to. If you have the capital to invest several thousand dollars into gold and make it part of your portfolio, that is definitely one direction you can go in. The other way is to roll over existing investments that are part of your precious metals ira into gold. The person handling your account will be able to draw up all of the paperwork necessary to start the process of the rollover, which is essentially moving your investment funding from one location to the other.
Problems Associated with Investing In Gold With Your IRA
When you have an individual retirement account, your money is locked away until the minimum age of almost 60 years of age. This means that any investment that is covered under the umbrella of this investment vehicle cannot be taken out without severe penalty. Therefore, before you place all of your investment funding into your IRA, especially when you are looking at gold, you might want to keep some of this out so that you can get access to it when you need cash right away.
The benefit of investing into gold for your individual retirement account is that it is probably the most stable investment that you will ever make. This commodity is limited, and therefore its price will always continue to increase simply because the demand will always be there. If you can invest some money into gold, you will be able to look forward to a retirement account that is not only sizable, but one that gave you the peace of mind knowing that your investment into gold will secure your financial future.

Military veterans packed Albany's Golden Corral Monday night.
It was one of many restaurants that offered deals to current and former service members on Veterans Day.
This was Golden Corral's 13th annual Military Appreciation dinner. It's something veterans and workers at the chain look forward to. Restaurant General Manager Mark Allen said, "The comments we've been getting tonight is, 'man we appreciate it. Thank y'all very much. This means a lot to us.' And my response back is, you know, is what you've done for us has meant a lot to us."
Retired Marine Theodore Freels said the event provided great food and great fellowship. "I enjoyed today. The food was great. It was awesome, and the company was very outstanding," he said.
Last Veterans Day, the restaurant chain served free meals to 375,000 vets and active service members and raised $1.2 million for the Disabled American Veterans organization.

Farm Bureau Pleased with Delay of ACA Employer Mandate
The Obama Administration is delaying the Affordable Care Act requirement that businesses with more than 50 employees provide health insurance to their workers or pay a penalty until 2015. American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman says the one-year delay will allow the Administration to streamline the process for complying and provide farm employers with the information they need to follow the law. According to Stallman - many farmers have been confused about their obligations under the healthcare law from the start because they employ a workforce that is both seasonal and transitory. He says the proposed rules regarding what farm employers need to do to comply are complex - raising many questions about responsibility under the law. Stallman says Farm Bureau commends the Administration for addressing the issue and looks forward to simpler direction so farm employers will know what they have to do to comply with the law.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Hickory Police are asking folks to pay attention to their surroundings and take a few precautions as they scramble to find those last minute holiday gifts.
"They need to be prudent," said Major Clyde Deal. The biggest issue right now, said Deal, is the growing problem of car break-ins.
In many cases the car owners have made themselves a target, said Deal. In the parking lot of a shopping center Thursday morning Deal pointed out several vehicles where purses, c-d cases, even bags of gifts were left where anyone walking by could see them. "It makes it too easy for the thieves," he said.
To make matters worse, many of the cars were left unlocked.
In the past six months there have been almost 300 car break-ins in the city of Hickory with more than 230 of them happening to cars left unlocked. Many of the break-ins occurred in driveways or apartment complex parking lots. Solving cases like that are extremely difficult say police.
During the holiday season thieves target shopping center parking lots because they know there are items to be taken, said police.
Patrols have been beefed up and a what is called a "Skywatch Tower" is moved from parking lot to parking lot. It provides police officers with a sheltered perch above the parking lot where they can watch the cars and video take the goings on.
"Even so, police can't be everywhere," said Deal. He is urging shoppers to keep valuables out of view and lock their cars whether on the road to the mall or in the driveway of their home.

In late April, Tom Sanderson, CEO of the third-party logistics company Transplace, participated in a roundtable on Capitol Hill about highway funding. As we inch closer to the deadline and the Highway Trust Fund is heading into the red, he offers his impressions of that event.

Transportation committees on Capitol Hill are starting to write the policy provisions to reauthorize the highway program that expires this fall, but the finance committees have yet to move on the key issue of funding.

The highway law that took so much effort over the past five years is just six months old, but now it's time to start again. As the U.S. Department of Transportation still unpacks the two-year, $105 billion measure passed last summer, Congress and transportation interests are gathering to return, once more, unto the breach.

Paul Swann, president and managing director of ICE Clear Europe, said the clearing strategy for ICE has expanded greatly from just clearing energies in 2008 to now clearing credit swaps and a new host of NYSE Liffe contracts.

Jacksonville Handles North Florida In Series Opener
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville jumped on North Florida early and never looked back as the Dolphins won their third straight Atlantic Sun game 8-4 in the series opener on Friday night at Harmon Stadium.
Eight of the nine starters had a hit in the game for the Dolphins led by junior Angelo Amendolare (Edgewater, Fla.) who went 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored.
The offense, which produced 14 hits, staked Alex McRae (West Allis, Wis.) to a 4-0 lead in the first three innings which would be all the Dolphins starter would need. McRae picked up his second win of the season after throwing 7.1 innings allowing four runs on seven hits with two strikeouts. Senior captain Adam Maxon (Oviedo, Fla.) took it the rest of the way for Jacksonville striking out three of the five batters he faces in 1.2 hitless innings.
"After my last outing, I was just trying to go out there and attack the zone," said McRae who is 2-0 now when he goes more than seven innings. "Braddock (Rowe) did a great job of keeping me calm behind the plate when I was starting to get into in trouble."
Jacksonville (9-19; 4-6 A-Sun) jumped on the board in the first inning after taking advantage of the lead off walk issued to Parker Perez (Winter Spring, Fla.). Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla.) eventually brought him into score with a single to right for one of his two hits and two RBI in the ballgame. Schaub, who entered the game hitting .524 (11-for-21) with runners in scoring position, was 2-for-3 in the situation tonight adding another RBI single in the eighth.
Three more runs by the Dolphins in the third was jump started by a leadoff double off the bat of Cameron Gibson (Conyers, Ga.) . Gibson reach base the first three times he was at the plate and ended the night 2-for-5 with two runs scored.
"Once you get Cameron on base he is a good runner it puts a lot of pressure on the defense," said McRae of Gibson who hit second in the line-up tonight. "Getting him on is huge for us to getting the offense going, especially early in the game."
The early lead helped grow the confidence of McRae as he allowed just one hit over the next four innings after the Ospreys (14-16; 5-5) put two on the board in the bottom of the third.
"Pitching with a 4-0 lead you just have to go out there and throw strikes. Once the other team gets down like that they start pressing and trying to do too much so you just have to throw strikes and let them hit it," McRae said.
Rowe and Dylan Dillard (Kissmmee, Fla.) also had two hits apiece for Jacksonville, while Connor Marabell (Jacksonville, Fla.) went 1-for-2 with two RBI, a run scored and a pair of walks in his first start at first base since being injured on March 22 vs Mercer.
David Trexler was charged with the loss for North Florida which committed a season high four errors in the ball game.
"It's huge for us and gives us a ton of confidence heading into tomorrow and Sunday," McRae added. "We just have to take it one game at a time. This is a big series for us that can put us right back in the middle of the conference."
Game two of the series is on Saturday at 1:00 pm. Be sure to tune in on 92.5 FM.

At the tender age of 6, today's Wednesday's Child has already had one broken adoption placement. But there's no chance of that happening again, because he's a guy with so much potential. Dave Courvoisier introduces us to Christian.
When we arrived at the Kids Play Cafe in Henderson, the place was already bustling with a lot of kids Chris' age or younger, but after a couple of minutes to adjust, Christian was off to play.
"You know what he, he's super active, of course, he's six years old, he loves cars he loves the movies he loves to swim, you know, puzzles, he can sit and do puzzles with me for an hour and loves to fit everything together," says Susan, Christian's CASA worker.
Christian is also a smart guy. This week, he starts first grade, and loves to learn.
"...And has just blossomed the last couple of years, loves school, always seems to be a favorite of the teachers, loves to help out, really a good kid with a bright smile," adds Susan.
But Christian carries a history of disappointment he'd like to leave behind.
"I think he has (struggled with trust issues) but he's had two very good foster placements where they were experienced they worked with him, and we as a team have been together for a long while and so he's got a great team behind him." claims Susan.
Christian understands about adoption, and has a simple hope:
"You know Chris told me his wish list on our way here today and he said I was explaining to him why we were coming in what we were doing, and he said you know I would like a mom and a dad and an older brother. "Sky is the limit with this kid I think you know, he's very bright, when I talk to him he's you know got a great spark in his eye and he is a terrific kid I think really the sky is the limit with the right home and the right nurturing I think he can go as far as he wants to go," says Susan.
If you'd like to give Christian the stable loving home he deserves, get started in the process of adoption by calling the local office of the Adoption Exchange now at 436-6335.

- The Melting Pot--SeattlekillaquadsDined on 8/28/2014I was not impressed with this restaurant. The food portions are very small for the price you pay, so, I would not suggest this spot for hungry diners unless you are willing to spend around 70 dolllars PP, and that's not including any beverages. I get the idea of this restaurant that it is the "experience." Would not do this again.
- First TimerdblgDined on 8/25/2014A visit to The Melting Pot has been on my list for sometime. I finally made it and will return. I thought parking would be a hassle, but we pulled right up to a spot across the street and walked right in for a nice dinner and dessert.Special Features:
- Great Experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014We had a wonderful experience. It was my first time dining at a Melting Pot but my husband has been before. We both enjoyed the quite atmosphere and the food was great! The new Alpine cheese was really good. They gave us plenty of food in the four course that we didn't eat some of it and was offered more. Overall we will dine again at the Melting Pot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Impressed!ChristinaDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I had never been to The Melting Pot before and had been given a gift card for the restaurant for our Christmas gift, so we decided to go there to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and were absolutely blown away by the hospitality and service at this location! As soon as we walked in and told them the name we had our reservation under, both the hostess and her trainee wished us a happy anniversary and were even able to seat us early because we showed up 30 minutes before our reservation. Our server, Nicholas, and his trainee, Corey, were both very warm, friendly and helpful, especially when explaining to us newbies how the whole experience worked. The food was delicious, the service incredible. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Melting Pot is a fun one-time place. Overpriced for the quality of food, but the idea is really fun and they are pros.Special Features:
- GrouponSMALLSDined on 8/22/2014Our server Nicholas (or Nick) was sooo great:) We got 5 star service, even with a Groupon. In the past, I've noticed sometimes the service isn't up to par with these coupons, but not with Nick. He was charismatic, funny and made our dining experience one I really enjoyed. The food was outstanding too. Definitely a good group dining experience or even a romantic one.Special Features:
- Overall ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/22/2014I love The Melting Pot! I took my date there for the experience that you can't capture many other places. The building appeared to be an old building, the architecture was admirable. The atmosphere was a very romantic setting for me and my date and sharing a variety of good eats is never a bad thing. I will continue to visit The Melting Pot when I am looking for a nice place to share food and drinks with a special someone and most importantly looking for a reason to get dolled up.Special Features:
- Cheese, Beef, (Seafood), ChocolateSeattleDinerDined on 8/22/2014We were seated in the balcony: a dark space with a "warehouse" feel. I would request a seat near the daylight i.e. the front windows. (The high balcony would seem more like a retreat on a dark and rainy night.) The menu overwhelmed us first time diners but our knowledgeable server helped us figure it out. There's more choices than I would've imagined for "fondue". I would return: for either the cheese (first) course alone, (before an event at the Seattle Center) or for the desert course alone. My dinner companion, however, liked the steak fondue and the chocolate fondue (desert) course best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome EveningfunwithfriendsDined on 8/17/2014We had never been to The Melting Pot and it had been a long time since our friends had been there. We had a great time it was alot of fun, the food was great, service was awesome. We will definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CindybeeDined on 8/16/2014This was my first time at the Melting Pot and I had a great experience. I went with a small group for my birthday. Our server was very friendly and he was very good at giving reccomendations and what entrees went well with the best cooking styles. All in all my party had a great time! The food was good, the ambiance great! I can't wait to go again! One thing I would reccomend to a newbie it, if you do choose the 4 course option like we did, give yourself plenty of time as we were there for 2 and a half hours and rushed at the end because we had a show to catch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the price you payOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/3/2014Service was incredibly slow, my wife spent most of the night with nothing to drink waiting for a refill. The music they play is so loud we could barely hear our waiter. Drunken people at the bar were very annoying. The potatoes they give you are supposed to be partially cooked but ours weren't and never got cooked even though they were in the broth the whole time we were eating our main course. The meats were good but you get very little for what you pay. Cheese and chocolate courses were the best.Special Features:
- Great night out12forlifeDined on 8/1/2014My wife and I were celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary and decided to try something new. Someone had recommended The Melting Pot but I was hesitant when I heard we had to cook our own food. That changed when our server explained everything and the experience was fun and we will definitely return in the future and tell our friends about it. The only down part was the music was really loud. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous experienceLuv2findnewplacesDined on 7/31/2014Staff were welcoming and did a great job explaining how the fondue experience works. A nice change from the norm and a great way to have time to truly break bread with friends & family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food and atmosphere.bigfoodieDined on 7/27/2014The food was to die for and the experience was magnificence. I would reccomend this as a great date night dinner for any romantic couple looking for a mini adventure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014Very good Appetizer, Spectacular desert. Good, but spectacular entree. Great value if you get the gift card at Costco ($100 for $59.99) and do the three-course dinner.Special Features:
- Great once againPatrickDined on 7/25/2014It seems like every time we go to the Melting Pot we are talking about how great it was for the next couple of days. The service was impeccable as usual. We got there a little too early and they fit us in. Unusual because they are usually completely booked. A nice surprise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Let's Celebrategoodeats18Dined on 7/24/2014Enjoyed a fun evening celebrating my son's accomplishments and enjoying good food. Service was excellent. I'm disappointed that they've taken the WI Trio off their cheese fondue menu as that has always been my families favorite but the updated food selections for the four course meal is terrific. The dessert speaks for itself and I must say, don't be afraid to tell them what you'd like in your chocolate fondue as if they have it, they will accommodate. We went with dark chocolate, caramel and sea salt to which the left the shaker so we could add more. This was perfect.Special Features:
- Wonderful BirthdayplastikkannibalDined on 7/21/2014Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and he was loving it. Our wonderful waiter made sure we were well taken care of and even gave a complimentary dessert with a candle in it to help celebrate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsAmythystDined on 7/16/2014I haven't been to the Melting Pot in Seattle for at least five years, bit it is still amazing. Our server was excellent. He seemed to enjoy his job and his recommendations were honest (he told us what he didn't recommend as well as what he did) and correct. Overall, a lovely evening of fantastic company and food. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Seattle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favoritesDragonflyDined on 7/14/2014I have loved the Melting Pot since it opened, and always look forward to a delicious ambiant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- so deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/11/2014It was such great food. The waitstaff was super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely EveningfoodieVIPDined on 7/9/2014My friends and I went to The Melting Pot per my last dining experience with a server named Kelsi - she was awesome, so friendly and fun. She completely made the night! I brought 3 girlfriends with me on this trip - we got there and were promptly seated by the hostess. Our server was Duncan, who throughout the entire evening was helpful and patient in explaining how things work with the fondue and made some great recommendations. All in all it was another great time at the Melting Pot and would recommend going there - the shrimp and chicken pot stickers were my favorite.Special Features:
- Absolutely fantasticShrimpMeatFondueLoversDined on 7/5/2014My girlfriend and I were in Melting Pot Seattle last July 5th celebrating our anniversary. I made a reservation almost one month before this date and, since then, I have no complains at all. Our dinner lasted 2 hours, but it seemed like really quick. The food was amazing, no rush to cook in any moments, service was kind all the time and so on. I truly recommend if you want to have a special dinner with your loved one. (:Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- waiter with no patienceAttitudeDined on 7/5/2014My friend and I wanted a new experience and a co-worker suggested "The Melting Pot". I had been there before, over 3years ago. The waiter seemed irritated to have to explain the ordering system to us. He didn't know of any of the specials that we read about online. He also never went to find out if they even had any specials. By the end of the night he got REALLY snotty and made a snide comment when my friend asked for a little more chocolate to finish her dessert. He said "we are one of those restaurants that charge you for more food". My friend got so embarrassed that she left the restaurant!!!Special Features:
- The Melting PotOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/5/2014No free or validated parking. Overpriced for what you get. I loved the cheese course, but the meat course was way too complicated and too fussy.
- A most delicious bacheloretteilovefoodDined on 6/28/2014I took my best friend here for her bachelorette party and it was amazing. The food was incredibly tasty. Our wait staff took amazing care of us. They brought us extra food to dip in our sauces and answered all of our questions about the menu. We were offered a champagne toast on the house since we were celebrating such a fun and important occasion. Our waiter was especially helpful when my friend had to request a high sugar beverage due to her diabetic needs. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food, fondue, a fun dining experience, or great service. Thanks for such a great experience Melting Pot!Special Features:
- Always a date night go to!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/28/2014I love this place. It's great for dates, double dates, big get togethers. Knowing that, it's expensive, but the experience is amazing. I took my parents there for the first time a while back and then again recently. They loved it as much as I do. The food is delicious and it's hard to stop eating. I like how there is no rush, the experience allows for eating slowly, sharing, and great conversation. The waiters are never pushy, very helpful and will bend over backwards to make your experience awesome. Look no further if you like food and a good time.Special Features:
- Wonderful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/24/2014Although a little pricey, for a special night out you can't beat the food. The cheese fondue was wonderful as usual.Special Features:
- Great PlacedhoodDined on 6/17/2014Our first time here for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we didn't really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised, it was fun, the food was great, we left full. We got the 4 course experience and it was really great. Would go back again for another special night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ParkingSunnyDined on 6/13/2014They do offer valet parking BUT this is a shared parking garage and a one lane in and out so be careful when pulling in as other tenants are not so accomodating to The Melting Pots traffic. Don't be late... with traffic downtown as horrible as it is they are not so accomodating to those that are even 5-10 minutes late.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cheese Me Again!seattlefoodiesDined on 6/13/2014This is our third time going to the Seattle, Melting Pot. Every time we go the staff is always extremely friendly, knowledgable, and willing to go the extra mile. The food is always so tasty, and fresh. The dipping sauces the Melting Pot offers are just decadent, especially the Green Goddess. The only complaint I have is the music is a tad bit too loud and sometimes its hard to hear your server. Another negative is that its super dark in the restaurant witch it is supposed to be to set a mood, but if it was just a little brighter it would be easier to read the menu. There was even a couple next to us using their cellphone flashlights to read the menu! Other than these tiny complaints the service and food is AMAZING. If you have a chance GOSpecial Features:
- Appetizer & dessertAOuztsDined on 6/11/2014Always a great experience for the appetizer and dessert. Fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun and Filling!LoveToEatVIPDined on 6/8/2014First time here. Went for everything: the cheese fondue, the salad, main course (including lobster tail) and then chocolate fondue. Lots of food. And great variety - air (duck), sea (fish) and land (beef, chicken, etc.) You can get 'tastes' of different meats, so a wide selection. Made it fun. In one word, I would say 'variety', since the choices (including what oil to use) are available. Fun describes the entire process. Recommended. Especially if just for dessert!Special Features:
- Fun Dining ExperienceRindyDined on 5/31/2014I had dinner at The Melting Pot with 2 friends and it was just a fun, fabulous meal. Great service all the way around and excellent food. I gave the Ambience 4 stars instead of 5 only because it really is difficult to read the menu. Other than that, loved the low light.Special Features:
- 2 Birthdays 1 RestaurantFullandHappyDined on 5/25/2014I invited my father and boyfriend out to the Melting Pot to celebrate both of their birthdays, and it was wonderful. My boyfriend's parent were along for the ride as well, so there were 6 of us. We each and our drink of choice, and after great discussion we figured out how to build our 4 course meal adventure. We loved every bite.Special Features:
- Fun experienceMPnewbieDined on 5/25/2014The four course deal is a great experience, get a little of everything and you will be completely stuffed! Our waitress McKenzie was very helpful in explaining everything and very upbeat and friendly.Special Features:
- Great waiter!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/19/2014We had an excellent waiter! His name was Justin. I have celiac disease so I cannot eat anything with flour or gluten. The restraunt has a gluten free menu and the waiter knew it very well. He was accommodating to me as well as my boyfriend who can eat flour. I ate gluten free food and my boyfriend did not. We both enjoyed ourselves and our waiter was very knowledgeable. Great restraunt!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prom dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014My friends and I went to Melting Pot for our Prom dinner. It was an unforgettable experience. We had an amazing time. My friends and I only had the cheese and chocolate fondue. Honestly that was all we needed. We skipped the salad and main dish but we were so full that none of that mattered.Special Features:
- Yumm!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014I had never been to The Melting Pot before, so this was a treat! Great service, fun dining experience, and yummy food :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect eveninggoodnessDined on 5/17/2014The food and the service was great. We celebrated our Son's 21st birthday and it turned out very special. We thank all who made it special :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Resolving Concerns
In 1936, a group of people got together for the purpose of organizing a convalescent home. The official founding of the Jewish Convalescent Home Society was November 1 of that year.
In 1942, a large cottage was purchased on Pall Mall Road at Wylie Avenue. This home rapidly expanded from six beds to an 82-bed facility. On June 1, 1958, the new building was dedicated.
On October 27, 1980, the Jewish Convalescent opened its doors on Scotts Level Road. The new center was capable of accommodating 150 residents. In November 1993, the home celebrated the completion of a $2.5 million renovation project.
Jewish Convalescent came together with Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital in 2000. Both are now part of LifeBridge Health, one of the largest, most comprehensive providers of health service in the Northwest Baltimore area, which also includes Sinai Hospital and Northwest Hospital.
In April of 2009, Jewish Convalescent was renamed Courtland Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation Center to better reflect the change in our admission policy to include non-Jewish residents.
Courtland Garden's Jewish residents continue to share in the traditions of living a Jewish lifestyle, as residents of all faiths do with their heritages.
Courtland Gardens is a skilled, nonprofit nursing home in Baltimore County. We have 151 beds.

Molycorp: Hot, Trending, Speculative Play
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A stock getting a lot of press Monday is Molycorp (MCP).
Not only is the stock trending on all the online bulletin boards but insiders are filing Form 4s showing an accumulation of the stock. The company produces rare-earth oxides that are an essential commodity in many of the clean energy industries.
When there is a stock getting press I like to look at the numbers to see if there is value. Only recently has the market taken notice of the stock but interest is building, as shown in this hourly trading chart provided by Barchart of the price momentum during the last month:
The stock has a 40% Barchart short-term buy signal and a Trend Spotter hold signal. It is above its 20- and 50-day moving averages but still below its 100-day moving average. The price hit six new monthly highs and was up 33.73% in the last month with a Relative Strength Index 62.83. It recently traded at $10.12 with a 50-day moving average of $9.52. Fundamental factors: Four Wall Street brokerage firms have assigned six analysts to monitor the numbers. They predict revenue to be up 54.20% this year and another 54.90% next year. Earnings are estimated to up 850% next year and increase by an annual rate of 20% over the next five years. The P/E ratio is 23.76. Although the financial strength is B+, TheStreet only rates this a D stock. Investor interest: The Wall Street analysts have released two buy, three hold and an underperform recommendation to their clients. The 495 individual investors voicing their opinion on Motley Fool give the stock a 78% chance to beat the market. Short interest has risen from about 17 million shares mid year to 33 million share recently. Other mining stocks: In the past six months Molycorp has been down 49% even including its recent upward momentum. BHP Billiton (BHP) was up 17%, Rio Tinto (RIO) was up 14% and Vale (VALE) was down 7% for the same period. Analysts' annual earnings projections for the next five years are mixed with estimates for BHP to be up 6% annually, RIO up 16.80% and VALE down 19.60% Conclusion: At this point Molycorp is not a long investment prospect but might be a niche speculative play. Although the stock has good projections for growth in both revenue and earnings I think the real issue is the recent insider accumulation of stock. I look for another temporary pop if the upward momentum continues that will force the short interest to cover their positions. If you decide to place a bet, watch the moving averages and turtle channels carefully to decide when to bail: At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned. This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Pleasanton memorial service planned May 25 for Jack Dove, who would have turned 90 that day
Original post made on Apr 26, 2013

Jack will be missed! He always wanted the best for Pleasanton and was very active in community service. Jack missed his Polly so much after she passed. He was ready to join her again. God Bless you Jack.
on Apr 26, 2013 at 9:10 am
I am so sorry to hear this. I loved to hear the stories Jack told about his life, especially with Polly.
He was smart, engaging and always thinking of others. I will miss our chats. He always had something to say about how to improve what we were doing. It's was great to hear someone so reflective about the city and so solution driven. Thank you Jack for being the epitome of a great husband, friend and citizen.
on Apr 26, 2013 at 9:51 am
Jack and his family were our neighbors in Olympia Fields, and I went to high school with his daughter. It was great to reconnect many years later out here in Pleasanton and discover we shared common interest in senior housing and services. Jack and Polly, i will miss you both. You helped make Pleasanton a great place for people of all ages. Thank you for your service.

Dallas Cowboys
Sean Lee - #50 - LB
|6' 2"/ 245 lbs.
|Pittsburgh, PA
|Penn State
|Years played
|2010, 2nd round, 23rd pick by Cowboys
Could Roy Williams break through for Cowboys?
If history is any indication, we should not get too excited about WR Roy Williams' breakout game in Week Three.
Five coaches unlikely to return in '11
PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush just doesn't get Jack Del Rio, Eric Mangini, Tom Cable or Mike Singletary, but he admires Wade Phillips. However, Arkush doesn't see any of these five NFL head coaches returning to their teams ...
Dallas backfield tilting toward Barber
So much for Felix Jones finally getting his time to shine in the Cowboys' backfield. Through three games, Marion Barber is still the team's lead dog.
Report: Kosier to miss four weeks
OLG Kyle Kosier re-injured his right knee in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' Week Three win over the Texans and could miss up to four weeks, according to the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
Cowboys top Texans 27-13, earn first win
Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Roy Williams, Marion Barber ran for another score and the Dallas Cowboys got their first win by beating the Houston Texans 27-13 on Sunday.
Cowboys release FB Anderson, promote TE Chandler
The Cowboys have released FB Deon Anderson. The fourth-year player had been with Dallas his entire career, compiling 70 total yards and one touchdown in 39 games.
A 'star' is born
Emmitt Smith's Hall of Fame career first took shape 20 years ago in a pair of contests against the rival Washington Redskins.
Cowboys say they remain committed to run
Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has been at the controls of an offense that has called 100 pass plays and only 42 runs.
Cowboys TE Witten, CB Jenkins feel fine
TE Jason Witten said he is feeling fine and has no headaches after hitting his head on the turf in Sunday's loss to the Bears. CB Mike Jenkins had an MRI on his right knee and said he feels ...
Eventually, Cowboys must run it effectively
The Cowboys fell to 0-2 with a series of offensive mistakes on Sunday, ones that must be corrected before the team's Week Three game at Houston.
Cowboys activate two O-linemen
ORT Marc Colombo and OLG Kyle Kosier are both active Sunday after Dallas had some pass-protection issues in Week One.
Cowboys' Bryant learning on the job
A high ankle sprain has significantly delayed the learning curve for Dallas rookie WR Dez Bryant, according to NFC East Whispers, meaning he'll need more time to produce at the level of his talent.
Cowboys' Free faces crucial tests
The focus of attention in Dallas could turn predominantly toward OLT Doug Free, who faces two major tests in the next two games.
Colombo, Kosier back at practice, could play Sunday
The Cowboys welcomed back two offensive linemen who have been missing since training camp on Wednesday as ORT Marc Colombo and OLG Kyle Kosier practiced for the first time in a month.
A closer handicapping look at 'America's Team'
With the Cowboys attracting considerable interest in Las Vegas as a potential Super Bowl team, we take a close look at how the team has fared with handicappers over the years, especially during the Tony Romo era.
Lee, the leading tackler for the Dallas Cowboys, has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season because of a right big toe injury.||||||| Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday an MRI showed ligament damage that will require surgery in the next week or so, ending hopes of Lee returning in four to six weeks. Garrett said he expects Lee's leadership role to shift from the field to the sideline when the New York Giants visit Sunday.
Lee is active and in the starting lineup, wearing a cast on his dislocated left wrist after missing last week's game.||||||| Lee should provide the Cowboys with a huge boost against Buffalo.
Lee has left Sunday's game against Washington because of a concussion sustained covering a punt return.||||||| Lee remained down on the field at the end of the play early in the second quarter. After being tended to by trainers, Lee got up and gingerly walked to the sideline. The Cowboys said Lee would not return to the game.
Lee picked off Peyton Manning twice and ran one in for a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 OT win at Indianapolis.||||||| The rookie is getting comfortable on defense and showed his talent by picking off the legendary Manning not once, but twice.
Lee is taking Keith Brooking's place. Brooking suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason game against San Diego on Saturday.||||||| Lee, who learned under the tutelage of the legendary Joe Paterno at Penn State, made his preseason debut against the Chargers and made 13 tackles.

People are asked to bring two litre plastic bottles to help build the greenhouse.
Mums and dads are encouraged to attend, but everyone is welcome.
Denise Bigwood, from Sedgemoor Two Children's Centres, said: "The children can grow things in the greenhouse such as tomatoes and carrots and potatoes so these can be used for cooking groups later on.
"We're hoping to get a good response from the community."

My job often gives me unique opportunities to travel all over this great state. Today was no exception as I was sent to Portland on a service call. When I arrived at the customer site, there was little standing water on Water Street (ironic name, huh) and I proceeded to start my service work.
The video you are viewing shows what happened in less than 45 minutes of my arrival. I was advised to travel down water street as my possible only means of escape from the rising flood waters. Otherwise, I would be spending the night in Portland.
The video is of me traveling on Water street, and beginning to make my way to State Road 67 so I might get back to US27. That would allow me to make my way back to the Fort.
Once out of the downtown area, there was very little flooding and mostly ponding water in fields next to the roadways. The park by Wal-Mart, however, was mostly under water. But, the travel from Portland to Fort Wayne was just as usual, just another day.
I would recommend to anyone, after this event, to NOT drive through water like I did in the video. It was very dangerous and I would not do it again myself. Staying a night or 2 in Portland wouldn't have been the end of the world, heck you couldn't even see it from there. But not being there for my kids.....

A few weeks ago, the artist Marianne Vitale was standing in the woods in upstate New York, firing a shotgun at a large wooden outhouse she had built in her studio in Queens.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19/WAVE) – For generations, nothing could harm them. The waterways winding around the Tri-State were delicately balanced, just as nature intended. Even modern problems like chemical spills and sewage spills didn't really put our rivers and lakes in long-term danger. But now something's off.
Asian carp are taking over waterways in our own backyard --- from Louisville to Cincinnati and beyond.
"There are so many of them that they're out-competing some of our native fish," said Sara Tripp, a Kentucky fisheries biologist.
In waterways they've invaded, Asian carp make-up 95-percent of the water environment. Our Raycom colleagues have videotaped them leaping out of the water where the Salt River meets the Ohio.
Yes, leaping.
"They jump high out of the water and can jump in the boat, jump into you," said Tripp.
Just hold out your net and catch them. It could be the most successful day of fishing you've ever had. Or the most dangerous. You see, these fish can knock you out of your boat. The Asian carp found in the Tri-State can weigh about 20 pounds. That's like a toddler flying through the air right toward you.
Downstream, fish and wildlife workers aren't taking chances.
"They wear helmets," said Tripp. "They also build cages up and around the throttle and steering wheel so whenever they jump they're not breaking the boat."
Asian carp can leap as high as five feet into the air. That helps explain how they've managed to make the 1,000 mile trip upstream, despite all the locks and dams, and into the waterways of the Tri-State. Unfortunately, it's our native fish that may pay the price.
