Music Theory, Viola, Violin
I studied music from elementary school through high school, taking a break to have a family. After I volunteered to teach Kindergarten and first grade music at a school in Lakeside, I picked up my instruments and began to study again in earnest. Many hours of study, lessons and practice later, I am a better musician than I have ever been, and I've also gained a valuable perspective on teaching that I never could have had by simply being a musician.
I currently play with Notre Temps String Ensemble as Assistant Principal Viola, and I always seek out new opportunities to share music with others - it is after all a social activity.
My strengths lie in working with young children, helping them both understand music and love it. My goal for every student is to leave me having a strong understanding of theory, musicianship and desire to seek out more opportunities for growth. I work with each student to tailor a program specifically for their needs, from working through simple bowing mechanics issues to the psychology of performance. Each student has different challenges to overcome, and simply using a one-size fits all approach is not going to help them.
I pride myself in being flexible and available to to my students for questions, whenever they may need to ask them. I believe that you shouldn't have to wait for the next lesson to have the question answered that may just make the pieces start coming together a bit quicker for you.
*** Lesson Details ***
A typical lesson consists of checking student's progress, addressing any immediate issues and working on skill building.
OK, so those are the basics, but what happens is so much more than that! One student may have trouble hitting a C#, so we'll work on those. Another may have trouble relaxing, we might spend some time on breathing exercises to help with that. Still another might have a death grip on the neck of their instrument, so we'll do some exercises to help relax their hands.
My goal is to help students get well on their way to a lifetime love of learning and making music.
In 3-6 months, they should be:
* Reading music consistently at a level appropriate to their progress.
* Developing an understanding of rhythm and meter.
* Placing their fingers properly, and reliably for the most part.
* Developing correct posture and holding their instrument and bow in a relaxed manner that suits their body type and facilitates the freedom of movement required for great music.

Classically trained, but I realize not everyone learns the same way, so a hardcore theory based approach is not always the right choice. We work together to develop a plan that will work and help foster a love of making music.
I specialize in working with kids of all ages. Don't we all have a little kid inside us just itching to get out and play?
Music Theory, Piano, Viola, Violin
Regina became inspired to play the violin after seeing her local middle school orchestra perform when she was 8. Since starting the following school year, she has been consistently involved in developing her passion and involvement in music. She has been a part of many classical orchestras and small ensembles, performed as both a recording and live string musician in the San Diego rock scene, and interned at local station 91X. She graduated Cum Laude with a B.A. in Music and a minor in Pre-Therapeutic Psychology from Point Loma Nazarene University in 2010. She teaches music at schools and a local community music center in San Diego, as well as violin, viola, and piano to students in her own private studio. Regina is also a member of the City Ballet Orchestra, has co-founded a live music entertainment company, and plays violin and sings in her two bands QUEL BORDEL! and The Plastic Revolution.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am an outgoing, positive teacher who has a passion for music and for sharing this passion with students in a fun and relatable way. I don't approach every student the same way - as unique individuals, I learn about the student's goals and personality, and will create customized lessons based on the information and relationship we form. Knowledge of the instrument, music theory, and basic fundamentals are building blocks of any lesson, but the sky is the limit!!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Keyboard, music stand, tuner, metronome, flashcards, etudes and exercises, etc.
*** Specialties ***
I teach from more traditional methods (as opposed to Suzuki or the like), and use my personal experience to give my students a well-rounded learning experience. I have been in orchestras and small ensembles all my life and absolutely love classical music, but have also played Irish/Celtic music, hymns/religious pieces, and am in rock bands (pop/punk/alternative and gypsy/folk/kickstomp). I want each of my students to have a lot of different experiences to have that foundational knowledge and also to expose them to a variety of genres so that they can see what's out there and hone in on what they like best.
Broadway Singing, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Singing, Viola, Violin
Music is the biggest passion in my life. I love being able to share that gift with my students, and look forward to their progress as much as my own. I continue to grow and develop as a musician, and love connecting with people through music. My students all learn to love and appreciate music, theory and performing as I share my knowledge and expertise.
I have degrees in Violin, Viola and Vocal Performance, that I earned while on full scholarship for music. I started violin as a young child with the Suzuki Method and later added viola. I began singing professional gigs while still in high school, and was the youngest member ever with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Chorus at 17. I also have extensive experience singing in non-classical groups and bands and am comfortable performing and teaching musical theater, pop, country, opera, operetta, and church music. With solid vocal technique my students are able to cross genres with ease, and sing whatever inspires them musically.
I currently sing with the San Diego Master Chorale and the San Diego Symphony. I was concertmaster in several symphony orchestras and have played as section leader for viola in numerous groups. I also play in and manage a string quartet and am also currently coaching small group string ensembles. My siblings and I have played in our family string quartet for over 20 years, and still perform together. Most recently I was chosen to record a new song Glow for Disneyland's California Adventure World of Color Winter Dreams.
I am comfortable teaching with various different methods, and cater lesson plans to the individual student. With over 14 years of teaching experience, I have taught students that vary in age from 3 to 75 years old, and am very comfortable with teaching children.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are fun. My philosophy is that students should have music in their lives and benefit from the lessons they take now for years to come. Learning to play a musical instrument will help students with math skills, study habits, and develop a skill that will last for a lifetime.
After 3 months students will understand the fundamentals of their string instrument or voice, know how to care for their instrument, warm up properly, be able to read and play/sing introductory passages. After 6 months the student will have learned basic music theory, how to read music, and have advanced through playing/singing multiple songs.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have a violin and viola that I bring to assist in teaching lessons. I expect that the students provide an instrument and their books. A keyboard or piano is essential for voice students for vocalization. A student need not know how to play piano in order to take voice lessons.

*Teachers marked as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25 lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.Vocal students are encouraged to pick songs from whatever genre sparks their interest. With violin and viola I use the suzuki method of training and follow the books and lessons, I use other books to supplement scales/technique.
Viola, Violin
I began playing the violin in 3rd grade in my school general music class and instantly fell in love with it. I begged my mom for private lessons and after a year, she finally caved in. By my freshman year in high school, I had decided that I wanted to major in violin performance in college and make a career out of being a classical violinist.
I went on to earn my Bachelor of Music in violin performance from State University of New York at Purchase. During my freshman year, I began teaching private violin and viola lessons at the Westport Music Center in Connecticut. I quickly realized that teaching is very fulfilling and that I loved sharing my passion and knowledge of the violin with others. While in undergrad, I also won my first job in a part time professional orchestra, the Ridgefield Symphony in Connecticut.
After completing my Bachelor's degree, I went on to earn my Master of Music from Boston University, also in violin performance. During the two years I lived in Boston, I continued teaching privately and playing freelance gigs in the area.
I then moved to Connecticut and ran my own private violin and viola studio for two years. Also, I played in the Greater Bridgeport and Waterbury Symphonies and worked in the Westport and Fairfield Public School systems teaching strings in the elementary/middle schools. Although I did enjoy doing this, I realized that teaching private lessons enables the one on one environment that leads to an amazing amount of progress and is preferable to my style of teaching.
Before I moved to San Diego, I lived in Rhode Island for three years. I taught at the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School and St. George's School in Providence and Newport respectively.
*** Lesson Details ***
I have several different method books I use while working with students. I think it is very important to use books that are age appropriate, so I spent a lot of time finding different books that would work for beginning younger and older students. Once students have enough basic knowledge, I supplement the method books with solos. Solos are always more fun for students to play and I find that this helps keep students interested and motivated. I also spend time during the lessons, not only teaching students how to play, but teaching them how to practice. Many students are never taught how to practice and then they are not sure what to do when they get home. Teaching students practicing tools is a very important aspect to me as a teacher. If a student knows how to practice effectively, they will be able to make substantially more progress than if they do not. With young students, I find it also helps to explain to parents how their child should be practicing so they can offer helpful pointers at home if the student gets off track. I openly encourage parents to ask me questions and even sit in on the lessons if they would like.
I believe that being an excellent music teacher is about more than being extremely proficient on your instrument. While this is one important aspect, it is equally important to approach each student according to their individual needs. I tailor my methods and materials for every lesson so each student can make the most progress possible. I also firmly believe music lessons should be fun and promote students to feel good about their accomplishments. Encouragement and a positive learning environment are the key components I utilize to make this happen. I also think it is important to balance teaching technique with making music. I work with students on how to properly play the instrument but also focus on listening to what the music should sound like. I find this helps students stay more interested and engaged with what they are learning.

I will provide some sheet music students will need, especially when they first start. Students will need to provide their own instrument and music stand.

*Teachers marked as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25 lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.I am classically trained, which is the genre I am most comfortable with. With my younger students, I often try to incorporate Disney songs and fiddle tunes to keep the lessons fun.
Cello, Fiddle, Piano, Viola, Violin
My name is Erin. I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with a concentration in Violin. I began studying violin at the age of six. I have performed with small chamber ensembles, orchestras, quartets, and trios. I enjoy playing for churches and weddings, and love teaching.
I began teaching beginner to advanced Violin and Viola in April of 2001 in NC. I�moved to California in the fall of 2008. Since moving to California I have extended my teaching to beginner Piano and Cello also. I have taught students ages 3 to 87 how to play and enjoy music on a personal level. My experience includes leading sectionals for middle school orchestra, organizing and instructing small ensembles, and organizing student recitals. Student recitals I arranged once or twice a year to showcase the students' growth and abilities, and to provide an opportunity to give back to family and friends whose sacrifices and support enable the students to succeed.
I teach because I love music and I believe God has given me a gift. Playing and teaching help me to use my talent for His glory. I love working with people and I love how music enables people of all ages to open up and express themselves in a positive way, no matter what life throws their way. I believe music teaches discipline, builds self esteem; helps set and achieve goals; and positively affects and enhances other curricular endeavors.
My teaching philosophy is to always have fun while learning, to set attainable goals for the student, to learn through encouragement and discipline, and to help students come to love music on a personal level. I focus on the character of each student and their goals and desires to see that the student and/or parents are satisfied. Teaching is a privilege for me that I do not take for granted.
*** Lesson Details ***
I offer half hour, forty-five minute, sixty minute lessons, or longer on a weekly basis, but I do Not offer bi-weekly lessons. My lessons begin with the fundamentals of music. I believe a firm foundation in rhythm and reading is important because a student may switch musical instruments one day and the basics are universal and necessary. I have a deep love and appreciation for music which I hope to instill in my students as well. I am strict in the sense that I like students to polish their pieces before moving on. I like to keep them focused on playing well, not just playing.
A typical lesson will begin with scales to warm up, a review of the previous week's material, and a new assignment. Students will memorize pieces, be proficient in scales and rhythms, and all the while laughing and having a great time. I am known with my students for my creative analogies and flexibility to try new things in order to adapt to the students strengths and weaknesses. My students look forward to coming to their lesson, and that is very rewarding as a teacher.
I primarily use the Suzuki method for Violin and Viola, because it offers progressive steps to mastering technique, style, and musicality. My curriculum includes the use of Winning Rhythms, Wohlfahrt studies, All for Strings Theory, Essentials for Strings, and many more beginner and advanced studies; including shifting and double stops.
I love music and I love working with people; teaching is just icing on the cake. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and discover your talents and I hope we can learn together. I look forward to meeting you!

Fiddle, Violin
I love to teach the violin and fiddle. I really enjoy working with adult beginners to help them discover music. You are never too old to learn! My specialty is working with young children and youth to establish a wonderful foundation for the student. I work to incorporate, into the lessons, a strong sense of musicianship with both the violin and fiddle. I am a structured teacher, one that is helpful, friendly and fun to work with. In working with young children, I encourage the parent to be involved with the lessons...to partnership, so that the child will progress and have an enjoyable experience. I use a modern approach in selecting books for each student.. books that inspire and encourage the student at his/her skill level and age. Having taught several instruments during the past 15 years...I understand the importance of passing on musical knowledge to brave beginners who are starting out on a musical journey. . Music lessons can be a wonderful "corner stone" to help build confidence, explore new beginnings and to learn a musical instrument. Lesson are but a series of building blocks that bring joy and confidence to the young and old. Believe in music for life! Come take lessons and we will explore a musical journey together on the violin.
In the past 10 years, I have taught violin and fiddle privately at my home studio and at various music camps, festivals, violin workshops and classrooms around the US. I continue to take private, classical violin lessons and go to music education seminars and workshops. In addition, for the past 20 years, I've attend music camps and week long workshops around the US. These camps, workshops and festivals focus on the various fiddle traditions such as Old-Time (Southern) Appalachian, Scandinavian and Bluegrass and on classical violin playing and teaching. . I play in a community strings orchestras on a weekly basis for the past 8 years with a classical repertoire. I also continue to take private fiddle lesson with a classically trained violinist who is a professional fiddler. I'm continually learning so that I can pass information on to my students. Come "fiddle" with me and learn this exciting instrument.
I am now retired from nursing having spent 30 years in the nursing education field.
I would enjoy working with you or your child to help you or the child discover the joys of music making tailored to your goals with the violin or the fiddle. Besides teaching, I'm involved with my husbands business, Bobs Violins and Bows. We restore, setup, rent and make violins. We also repair and re-hair. bows and sell new and vintage restored bows. Our shop helps students as well as professional players. If you decide on lessons please get in touch with us BEFORE you rent or purchase an instrument for the student. My husband is a professional Luthier. We recommend renting an instrument instead of purchasing one to make sure the student wants to continue to play and learn. For children: Violins come in fractional sizes and the child needs to be measured correctly to ensure a proper size. If you sign up for lessons with me, contact us first before you purchase an instrument so that we can measure the student for the proper size. Learning to play on an instrument that is professionally setup and of the correct size will help the new student progress and they will have an enjoyable experience. Playing on a violin that is too big for a child can lead to injury or frustration for the student and parent.
*** Lesson Details ***
My violin/fiddle lessons start out with the basics for beginners. For a beginning student, the basic approach to good technique for the instrument is essential in developing tension-free playing. To give you an idea of the basics: how the violin and bow are held, good posture, producing great tone with your instrument, learning basic music theory (major and minor scales, arpeggios and note values), sight-reading music, aural training (learning by ear), rhythm, learning how to tune the instrument and instrument care. I always teach the violin parts, some history of the instrument and how to care for your instrument and put it away after each practice. I also teach the student how to practice and we go over a hand written practice sheet at the end of each lesson so they have a lesson plan from which to work on at home. If the student is a child, I review this lesson plan with the parent and encourage them to be active with the student during the week of practice.
What are lessons like for a student? I use a simultaneous approach to violin technique, in that everything connects. I teach through the very basics of building skills using a variety of warm-ups, exercises, etudes and pieces (tunes) from violin or fiddle books that are age and skill level appropriate. Together the student and I use hands on learning; listening to tunes/pieces by my playing the tune for them and by using music CD's. I teach sight reading and playing music from notation with skill building work books to read music and basic theory. I have the student play along with me on simple exercises. This incorporates a sense of fun and meaning for the student. I also incorporate ear-training (aural skills) in teaching children and adults, this builds confidence and joy in listening which builds musicianship. . I use a call and response method to help establish skill building in all areas of playing from tone production to intonation (playing a note to correct pitch) to learning tunes and pieces and to establishing rhythms and beginning improvisation. Call and response is: teacher plays and student plays it back. This is a fun way to learn for adults and children. This is creative teaching and learning methods where progress is made by the fact there is no right or wrong way...just individual progress that builds confidence. I'm a flexible and caring teacher in helping develop musicianship skills. I'm a very firm believer in practice and teach the student (parents of children) how to practice effectively. A written practice sheet is sent home. Progress can be accomplished with only 15-30 minutes of focused practice a day. I believe that the teacher is an essential force in developing good practice habits with a student so they can grow individually and really enjoy both learn and making music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a large, sun filled room in my home that is my studio. It is a smoke -free home. I have a music stand, good lighting, chairs, a tuner, metronome, a digital recorder, and several shoulder rests and chin rests to try out for individual comfort and play ability. In addition I have a music library of violin and fiddle books, CD's, videos and student articles of interest that I can share with my students. I also have properly set up violins of all sizes for rental for adults and children. Children need special sizes of violins to learn and play on so they will not become injured playing on an instrument that is too big for them. Buying instruments on Ebay or the net can be a disaster as they tend to not be setup correctly for playing and can also be of poor workmanship and materials. It's best to talk to a trained luthier or someone with knowledge before you buy an instrument. Beware of the VSO's....Violin shaped objects. Com fiddle with me. Stay tuned. Diane

I like my students to have a three ring notebook with folders inside and about 8 protective clear sheets so I can write down their assignment, notes and the handouts can be saved for reference. I give out lots of handouts and charts to help[ the student so they don't have to buy lots of different books. They in turn can write down questions for me for the next lesson. A good music stand at home is important so having a stand and a space for music is important for the progress of the student.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in teaching children ages 5 and up. I also love teaching adults. I prefer to use several method (tutor) books depending on the student, their skill level and their age. I use several different music theory workbooks as well, again appropriate for adults, youth or a young child.
I teach classical violin technique for beginners for a solid foundation in violin playing and branch out into fiddle tunes and styles if the student is interested in learning fiddling. Having a good background in violin technique and basic music theory prepares the student for any genres they wish to learn. This also educates them to the proper mechanics of tension-free and pain free playing that is very important for a beginning student. and for success and progress.
Come learn violin with me and have fun while progressing.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Did you ever think about going abroad or having a student from another country live with your family for a month or longer? Well, my mother, who works for International Student Exchange, filled me in on what it would be like. She was a foreign exchange student when she was a teen-ager, and has been working with exchange students for many years.
International Student Exchange brings students from Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Egypt, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, and Yugoslavia to the United States to attend school for a school year or to be part of a group which comes for a month. They are between the ages of 15 and 18. Students coming to the U.S. must have at least a B average, some skill in English (they don't have to be fluent), be in good health, and be mature and responsible. They are carefully screened in their home country.
A group of 20 Mexican students will be coming to my hometown of Sharon in July for a month. When the students finally get here, they will go to school four mornings a week for three hours. They will be perfecting their English and learning American History and culture. On the fifth day, they will take trips in the Boston area. I told my mother that they should definitely go to the JFK Library.
My mother's job is to find a home for each of the students and match the American family with a compatible student. What a great way to learn about another country! International Student Exchange is different from other student exchange programs in that it is very small and personal. I like that idea because, if my mother will let me be an exchange student to France, I feel better knowing that there is someone like her to watch over me when I get to my French family. n

The revenues of company fell to Rs 79 crore during first quarter compared to Rs 177 crore in the comparative quarter of last year.
In a press release, the company said its revenues for non-Andhra Pradesh States increased by 11 per cent to Rs 79 crore during the quarter. The operations in AP have come to a halt.
"We raised incremental debt of Rs 1,360 crore in Q4-FY12 and held a cash and bank balance of Rs 403 crore at the end of Q1-FY-13.
The write-off of Rs 1,128 crore on the AP portfolio cleansed the balance-sheet. Now the focus is on P&L and hence the headcount and branch network rationalisation.
Our immediate priority is to return to the path of profitability and with the capital raise we should reach there sooner than later," said S. Dilli Raj, Chief Financial Officer, SKS said.

Temple Run 2 is the sequel to one of the most popular running games for mobile devices, and it has just enough new features to make it an excellent follow-up.
As in the original Temple Run, you use swipe controls to run, turn, and jump as you explore a floating temple. But in Temple Run 2, you're no longer limited to right-angle turns. The path you follow has dips and rises and jogs left and right to make the game more visually interesting than the original. You also get some new methods of transportation, with zip lines that you can speed down and a mine cart section that has you leaning from left to right as you ride fast and furious over rails underground.
The biggest difference from the original is the upgrade to the game's graphics, with great-looking visuals you can't help but notice, even as you frantically try to navigate your way through the twisting paths. Realistic-looking fire hazards keep you on your toes, and animated rotating grinders add more obstacles for you to slide under and jump over in your effort to stay alive.

Paladins take down Dolphins
Related Links
The JU women's soccer team fell to the Furman University Paladins 3-1 Saturday afternoon in Greenville, South Carolina.
After falling behind early in the first half, the Dolphins quickly responded with a goal of their own to tie it up. The Paladins scored in the 21st minute off of a corner kick to break the scoreless tie. A minute later, junior forward Raquel Weckhurst scored her first goal of the year off a pass from freshman Sarah Moghadas knotting it up at one. The game would remain tied for only five minutes as Furman was able to get the go-ahead goal off of another corner and retake the lead that they would not relinquish.
The Paladins would add another goal in the second half to bring the game to the final score of 3-1.
"We have to get better on our set pieces and corners," said Dolphin head coach Brian Copham. "We can't dig ourselves into a whole like we did against a good team like Furman and expect to win. There were times when we played well in small spurts, but we have to get all 11 players on the same page for the whole game."
The Dolphins were outshot by the Paladins 12-9. Senior Emily Culbreth led JU with four shot attempts.
JU (2-4-1) split the pair of games they played on this most recent road trip through South Carolina with the win coming against Presbyterian on Thursday night. The Dolphins return to action at home when they host the College of Charleston on September 14.

PEOPLE in Oxfordshire are being warned of the continued high levels of air pollution today.
It is expected to remain at levels of about seven or eight out of ten - ten being the highest - today, but the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs believes levels will return to normal again tomorrow.
People with pre-exisiting medical conditions, particularly respiratory complaints, are being advised to be aware of the poorer air quality, although Oxfordshire is not forecast to be as bad as other areas of the country
The high levels are thought to have been caused by easterly winds bringing in pollutants from Europe, local air pollution and dust from the Sahara Desert.

California Residents Click Here: "Proposition 65" WARNING
A good lighting scheme is arguably the most important aspect of decorating and the most powerful way to define a room's ambiance. Choosing the right types of lighting requires knowing a little something about the different purposes lighting can serve, the types of lamps and shades available, what some technical terms mean, and how to tailor a lighting scheme to your specific room and needs.
Table lamps are perhaps the most common type of lamp used today. They generally range in height from 25" to 32", and they often serve double roles as task lighting and accent lighting. Because of this, most people choose to use medium-watt, soft-light bulbs in their table lamps. When choosing a table lamp, the shade needs to be in proportion to the lamp's base, as well as with the surrounding furniture. The shade should be at eye level when you're seated, and the bulb should not be visible. Generally speaking, shorter lamps should be placed on taller tables, and taller lamps should be placed on shorter tables. This will help keep everything in room balanced and at eye level.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.

Helston and Penryn progress in Senior Cup
11:57am Sunday 2nd December 2012 in Sport By Ben Power, Sports Editor
Helston Athletic progressed to the third round of the Cornwall Senior Cup after a hard fought victory away at league rivals Wadebridge.
The Blues went a goal down in the first half before strikers Liam Eddy and Mark Goldsworthy continued their fine run of form with a goal apiece to see Sid Taylor's side into the draw for the third round.
Elsewhere Penryn Athletic narrowly edged out Porthleven at Kernick Road.
Kayne Trevaskis opened the scoring for the home side, only for Freddie Williams to level things up for Port with a well-taken goal soon after.
But it was Penryn who booked their place in the next round when Trevaskis popped up with six minutes remaining to thump home the winner from close range.
Porthleven had a chance to even things up in the dying seconds, but Tom Annear could only drag his shot wide of the post.
Other results in the Senior Cup were as follows:
Callington Town 4 Perranporth 0
Camelford 2 Sticker 1
Dobwalls 4 Hayle 2
Foxhole Stars 0 Liskeard Athletic 6
Lanreath 1 Newquay 3
Penzance 1 Truro City 2
Probus 0 Saltash United 7
St Dennis 7 Mousehole 1
Torpoint Athletic 2 Godolphin Atlantic 1
Wadebridge Town 1 Helston Athletic 2
Wendron United 1 St Blazey 4

David Cassidy is no longer singing "Could It Be Forever" about this 34th-story penthouse. "The Partridge Family" star has agreed to surrender his $1.35 million Fort Lauderdale, FL condo to the bank within three months, rather than continue going through the foreclosure process, according to GossipExtra.com.
The 1970s heartthrob first received a foreclosure notice two years ago but chose to fight it, claiming "the bank couldn't prove it owned the mortgage for the 34th-floor apartment" and calling the loan "predatory."
However, it appears Cassidy has decided to cut his losses and move out of the Las Olas condo.
Cassidy got his big break as the lead on "The Partridge Family" as Keith Partridge. His success on the show led to his breakout as a teen heartthrob known to incite mobs at his concerts. The 62-year-old continues to tour and recently headlined a show at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, where he had an outburst during the show. He apologized for his actions, blaming the meltdown on cold medication.
Cassidy has lived in Florida since the 1980s and retains ownership of another downtown Fort Lauderdale condo.

Physical fitness improves cognitive function in children
A study published in the Public Library of Science shows that inactivity in children may not only lead to obesity, but decreased brain function. Fortunately, the inverse is also true. Children who get adequate exercise in the form of play are more likely to increase memory, perception, cognitive control and academic achievement.
The study followed 48 nine- to-10-year-old children as they performed tasks. The children were required to learn the names of specific regions on a map and were tested either after or during the time in which they studied. Of the children studied, half of them were in the top 30 percent of their age group in the area of aerobic fitness. The other half were in the lowest 30 percent.
Previous studies have shown that children commit information to memory best when quizzed during the memorization process. Studying without reinforcement does not create a strong enough cognitive understanding to support the information over time. In this case, however, children who were deemed fitter scored higher when asked to recollect the map regardless of how they learned the information. The fit group recalled the map with 40 percent accuracy while the unfit group scored a 25 percent.
Authors of the study believe the results should inform the way policy and procedure involving fitness in schools is determined.
Another study published in The Journal of Pediatrics compared children's physical fitness, body mass index and scores on math and English standardized tests. Results showed that children with the best physical fitness scores also scored high on the standardized tests. Body size, however, did not play a contributing role. If a child was overweight but relatively fit, he had a higher score than a child who was thin, but less fit.
Neither study focused on exercise typical during a regular recess, but rather on long-term physical fitness. Children who develop and maintain a high level of aerobic fitness will boost their learning capabilities. Researchers suggest a minimum one hour every day be devoted to physical activities.
What does this mean for parents? Go out and find some used sporting equipment and get your child on the way to an active life. Supporting gym programs in schools is vital, as it provides the best opportunities for children's physically fitness. Children spend most of their waking hours at school and it is an integral part of their lives. They can learn information as well as healthy lifestyles.

Originally it was believed that RG3 had only partially torn his ACL and LCL and that he was hoping to avoid reconstructive surgery. However, this latest report indicates that the worst fears have been realized.
If Griffin is only out six months, there would be a good chance he will be ready for the start of the 2013 season. However, an eight month recovery would put the start of the season in jeopardy. The good news is that it does not sound like the entire season is in jeopardy and that we should see RG3 at quarterback for the Redskins in 2013.

Penn State and UCF kicked off the first Saturday of action in the 2014 season with a thriller in Ireland. The Nittany Lions won 26-24 on a last-second field goal, but the game got off to an interesting start.
A skydiver was slated to land inside of the stadium with a UCF flag. Instead, the skydiver completely missed the stadium and landed outside of Croke Park.

Louisville's offense suffered a significant setback on Monday, as top receiver DeVante Parker suffered a foot injury in fall camp and will miss 6-8 weeks.
Parker was expected to be the Cardinals' top receiving threat after recording 55 catches for 885 yards and 12 scores last season. Parker was limited some by injury in the middle of the year but averaged 16.1 yards per reception in 2013.
The timetable for Parker's return is uncertain, but if the 6-8 week span holds true, the senior could miss key ACC contests against Florida State and Clemson.
There's no doubt Parker's absence will be a huge loss for Louisville. However, coach Bobby Petrino is one of the best in the nation at maximizing the X's and O's. Expect to see more of sophomore James Quick and seniors Eli Rogers and Kai De La Cruz targeted in the passing game. And senior tight end Gerald Christian should be an even bigger part of the offense and should push for All-ACC honors in 2014.
Parker's injury is a definite setback for Louisville, but the Cardinals could still be favored to win their first six games.Tags College Football, News, ACC, Louisville Cardinals

The quarterback position has been a revolving door for Miami this offseason, but coach Al Golden ended the carousel by naming true freshman Brad Kaaya the starter for the Week 1 matchup against Louisville.
While Golden's decision to name Kaaya the starter was made easier due an injury to Ryan Williams (torn ACL), and a suspension for Kevin Olsen, this is the right move for Miami in 2014 and beyond.
Kaaya was competing with Jake Heaps for the starting job this fall, as both quarterbacks enrolled this summer to push for the starting job. Having a veteran like Heaps is beneficial, but he's struggled in two previous stops (BYU and Kansas).
After throwing 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions as a true freshman at BYU in 2010, Heaps lost the starting job to Riley Nelson in 2011 and transferred to Kansas to start in 2012. However, Heaps was benched after a slow start, completing only 49 percent of his throws and tossing 10 picks on 261 attempts.
There's no doubt Kaaya is going to make mistakes – he's a true freshman after all. Starting a true freshman quarterback on the road in a hostile environment (Louisville) is tough, but the upside is worth the risk over Heaps. The senior is a known commodity, and he's been limited some in fall camp due to an elbow injury. Maybe Heaps is a better quarterback than he showed at BYU or Kansas, but it's tough to envision the Washington native being the answer for Miami in 2014.
On the other side, Kaaya is a quarterback with enormous upside. The California native ranked as the No. 141 national recruit by 247Sports in the 2014 signing class and was considered a four-star prospect.
The bar has been set high by freshman quarterbacks in recent years (Jameis Winston and Johnny Manziel), and it's unfair to pin those expectations on Kaaya. However, the gamble and upside of starting Kaaya outweighs the risk.
Could Kaaya be the next star quarterback in Coral Gables? Perhaps. And knowing what Miami has in Heaps, it only makes sense to go with upside and Kaaya's potential.
2014 isn't a make or break year for Golden, but the Hurricanes need to take a step in the right direction. Step one is finding a quarterback. Maybe Kaaya is that guy. It's better to find out now than next season.Tags College Football, News, ACC, Miami Hurricanes

Oklahoma and receiver Dorial Green-Beckham received some bad news on Friday, as the NCAA denied the former Missouri standout's request for immediate eligibility in 2014.
Green-Beckham will sit out 2014 due to NCAA transfer rules and will be eligible to play for the Sooners in 2015.
Green-Beckham was dismissed from Missouri in mid-April after an off-the-field incident and was hoping to use the run-off rule to be eligible in 2014.
Even though there was some optimism about DGB's hopes of getting a waiver to play in 2014, the standout receiver will be sidelined until 2015.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller will miss the 2014 season due to a shoulder injury suffered in practice on Monday. The news of Miller's injury was reported by the Columbus Dispatch's Tim May.
Eleven Warriors has more details on Miller's injury, which will keep the senior out for the 2014 season. Miller is eligible for a redshirt season and could return in 2015.
Miller suffered a shoulder injury in the Orange Bowl loss against Clemson and did not participate in contact drills during spring practice.
The senior appeared to be on track to return after shoulder surgery in February, but he was limited by soreness in his throwing arm this fall.
With Miller out for the season, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones will compete for the No. 1 job. Barrett recently moved ahead of Jones on the depth chart and would be the favorite to start the opener against Navy.
With Miller ruled out for 2014, Michigan State is the favorite in the Big Ten. The Spartans defeated the Buckeyes in the conference title game last season and is a contender for a spot in college football's new four-team playoff format.
Arizona State already has a variety of uniform and helmet choices to sport in 2014, but the program unveiled a new copper-themed look on Monday.
The uniform helps to honor the state's history of copper producing and could be worn at some point during the 2014 season.

Texas A&M's quarterback situation was one of the most intriguing battles of the offseason, as the Aggies looked for a replacement for standout Johnny Manziel. And at least for the opener, the starting job in College Station is slated to go to sophomore Kenny Hill. The news of Hill's promotion to the top quarterback spot was announced by coach Kevin Sumlin.
Hill played sparingly in 2013, completing 16 of 22 passes for 183 yards and one score. He also rushed for 37 yards on seven attempts.
The most action in Hill's 2013 season took place against Sam Houston State, completing 5 of 6 passes for 74 yards and one touchdown.
Hill has big shoes to fill with Manziel's departure, but he is surrounded by a strong supporting cast. The Aggies possess one of the SEC's top offensive lines and receiving corps, while running backs Brandon Williams, Trey Williams and Tra Carson are all capable options.
Allen – one of the top prospects in the 2014 signing class – will have a chance to unseat Hill as the season progresses. The true freshman should have a good grasp on the offense after enrolling early and could play against South Carolina if Hill struggles.
One positive for Hill in his first start: South Carolina could use three true freshmen extensively at cornerback in the opener.
Texas A&M's high-powered offense may not be as explosive as it was in 2013, but whether it's Hill or Allen at the controls, expect plenty of points and high-scoring affairs involving the Aggies in 2014.Tags College Football, News, SEC, Texas A&M Aggies

NEW YORK (AP) - Andy Murray stumbled at the end of the first set, dropping four points in a row. He faltered for a fleeting moment at the end of the second set, too, missing a simple volley after his opponent's between-the-legs shot.
What truly mattered most in Murray's fourth-round match at the U.S. Open, of course, was the ultimate result, and the defending champion wound up beating 65th-ranked Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 on a windy Tuesday night.
The third-seeded Murray reached the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows for the third consecutive year.
He was 0-4 in Grand Slam finals until his title at last year's U.S. Open. He added a second major championship this July by becoming the first British man since 1936 to win Wimbledon.

Often more subdued than color, texture can add interest color can't—such as uninterrupted stretches of natural materials. And because texture involves touch as well as sight, it allows homeowners to interact directly with their home's design (think pebbled shower floor that massages the bather's feet). For creative inspiration we've collected a group of projects that thoughtfully incorporate texture into everything from bold exterior facades to sanctuary-like master baths, and in design styles ranging from rustic New England retreats to contemporary California pads.

© Josée Leblanc
Photocopier-ready transparency film sheet
Powder Pal tray or sheet of scrap paper
Embossing buddy, or anti cling dryer sheet
Scrap paper
1 ¼" or 1⅜" (3.1 or 3.4 cm) circle punch
Gold embossing powder
Embossing gun
Wing it stamp set, or a wing stamp
Snowflake stamp
White StazOn ink
StazOn cleaner
Colored ink
Scrap paper and Doto glue or Post-it note
Coluzzle circle cutting kit (optional)
Paper piercer tool or ⅛" (3 mm) round punch
Clear glass Christmas balls
Silver cord
Fake snow
Mini glue dots
Author's Note: Stamp-challenged crafters could use Muggle technology to print an HP picture of their choice on the acetate. Just make sure the final image is ½" (1.3 cm) smaller than the diameter of the glass ball. You could either use a color image or reduce a black and white coloring book picture and color it using Sharpie markers. Just make sure to buy the right kind of transparency, or get your images printed in a printing place.
Rub your embossing buddy or dryer sheet over your Powder Pal tray or scrap paper and your transparency film sheet.
Punch a few circles in your scrap paper, making sure they are sufficiently spaced out on the scrap paper and set the punched circles aside.
Place the scrap paper over the transparency and stamp Versamark ink over the punched circle. Remove the scrap paper carefully. You should now have inked circles on your transparency. Repeat for each ornament you are making.
Pour embossing powder over the transparency, collecting the excess powder in your Powder Pal tray or your sheet of scrap paper. If need be, tap the back of the transparency to remove excess powder, or brush excess powder off gently using a small paintbrush.
Hold the embossing gun farther from the transparency than you normally would and emboss the powder until it changes consistency. If the gun is too close to the transparency, the sheet will warp or melt, so be careful!!
Stamp the wing on a piece of scrap paper or on a Post-it note using colored ink (the color doesn't matter) and clean your stamp normally. If you use the latter, make sure part of the image is stamped over the sticky strip of the Post-it note. Cut out the image as closely as possible. If using scrap paper, add a strip of Dotto behind your image. This will be your wing mask.
Ink the wing stamp in StazOn ink and stamp it on the transparency film, a bit over the golden circle.
Wait a few seconds then stick the wing mask right over the StazOn wing. Make sure the wing is perfectly covered.
Ink the wing stamp in StazOn ink and stamp it near where you stamped the other wing, and remove the wing mask. You should now have a golden snitch!
Author's Note: You should always remove StazOn ink from your stamps using StazOn cleaner.
Ink your snowflake stamp in StazOn ink and stamp randomly between the snitches. You can use more than one snowflake stamp to add a bit of dimension.
Cut out a circle in the transparency film using the Coluzzle cutting system or scissors (in which case the shape doesn't need to be a perfect circle). It should be roughly ½" (1.3 cm) smaller than the diameter of the glass ball and should include one snitch and a few snowflakes (partial or complete).
Punch a whole in the top of the transparency with a paper piercer tool or ⅛" (3 mm) round punch and thread a 6 to 8" (15 to 20 cm) silver cord through the hole.
Remove the metal hanger and cap off the neck of the Christmas ball and set it aside.
Take a sheet of scrap paper and rub your embossing buddy or dryer sheet over it. Make a funnel out of the paper and pour a few teaspoon of fake snow inside the glass Christmas ball.
Roll the transparency circle into a tube, making sure to hold on to the silver cord (if you lose it in the ball, you'll waste a lot of time trying to grab it back, and odds are it'll unthread from the transparency!). Insert the tube in the ornament, still making sure to hold on to that silver cord. The transparency will pop open inside the Christmas ball.
Apply a mini glue dot outside the neck of the Christmas ball. Push the silver cord in the glue dot and trim the excess cord using your scissors.
Carefully replace the metal hanger and the cap and decorate the outside of your ball if desired. Use silver cord to create a hanging loop.

A look at the sports news making headlines today, Monday, Aug. 25.
Angels take over first in AL West battle again
The Los Angeles Angels salvaged the finale of their weekend series against Oakland — and regained a one-game lead over the Athletics in the AL West in the process. The Angels built an early 9-0 lead and held off the Athletics 9-4 behind Jered Weaver's 14th victory.
The Angels roughed up Oakland starter Scott Kazmir, a 14-game winner himself, with six runs in the opening three innings. The big hit was a two-run home run by Josh Hamilton, his 10th of the season. Mike Trout hit his 29th of the season, off reliever Jesse Chavez.
Weaver went six and two-thirds innings, giving up a pair of home runs by Alberto Callaspo and Andy Parrino in the seventh after the Angels took a 9-0 lead.
In other baseball:
Ian Desmond and Bryce Harper each homered and drove in two runs as the streaking Nationals rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Giants 14-6. The Nats have won 12 of their last 13 games to bolster their lead to eight games over Atlanta in the National League East.
Alfredo Simon pitched went seven innings to earn his first win in eight starts since the All-Star break and Todd Frazier homered as the Reds held on for a 5-3 win over the Braves. Simon is 13-8.
Trevor Bauer took a shutout into the seventh and won for the first time since July 18 as Cleveland beat Houston 3-1. Cody Allen, the Indians' fourth pitcher, worked out of ninth-inning trouble for his 17th save. The Indians took two of three games from the Astros in the series.
A's closer goes on DL
Athletics closer Sean Doolittle was placed on the 15-day disabled list by Oakland about an hour before Sunday's game with the Los Angeles Angels with a strained right intercostal, a muscle in the rib cage.
Doolittle, who saved the last two games against the Angels, is 1-3 with 20 saves and a 2.28 ERA in 54 relief appearances. He has walked five and struck out 80 in 55 1-3 innings. Opponents are batting just .171 against him
Right-hander Dan Otero was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.
Quarterback Bradford done
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford has a torn ACL in his left knee for the second straight year and is out for the season.
Bradford, the first overall pick of the 2010 draft, missed the last nine games last season after getting injured at Carolina. Veteran Shaun Hill has been the backup and the Rams also have rookie Garrett Gilbert and Austin Davis on the roster.
In all, five starters were hurt against the Browns.
Cornerback Trumaine Johnson was carted off with a knee injury and three others — guard Rodger Saffold and defensive tackles Kendall Langford and Michael Brockers — left with ankle injuries.
Johnson will be out 4-6 weeks with an MCL tear. But coach Jeff Fisher said Saffold, Langford and Brockers could play if needed in the preseason finale Thursday at Miami.
Newton has rib injury
Panthers coach Ron Rivera says quarterback Cam Newton has a hairline fracture in his ribs and will miss the team's final preseason game. Rivera says he expects Newton to be ready for the team's Sept. 7 regular season opener against Tampa Bay. Newton was hit after scrambling from the pocket in Carolina's preseason game Friday night against New England.
Newton has never missed a regular season start in his three seasons with the Panthers.
In other NFL news:
The lawyer for Denver kicker Matt Prater says his client has agreed to a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Harvey Steinberg says Prater's suspension was alcohol-related.
The Denver Broncos have parted ways with 11 players, including nine-year veteran tackle Winston Justice and undrafted rookie running back Brennan Clay of Oklahoma.
The Chicago Bears have cut Jordan Palmer, making Jimmy Clausen the backup quarterback behind Jay Cutler.
Ricciardo wins second straight race
Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo won the Belgian Grand Prix with Nico (NEE'-koh) Rosberg second. The second-place finish extends his overall championship lead over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton, who retired from the race with five laps remaining, to 29 points.
Ricciardo's win is his second straight and third of the season. Four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel was fifth.
Dixon surges late for victory
Scott Dixon passed Mike Conway with three laps to go at Sonoma Raceway to earn a dramatic IndyCar victory and muddying the overall championship race. Series leader Will Power finished ninth to set up an intriguing finish to the Indy Car season Saturday at Fontana.
Dixon is out of the race to defend his 2013 title, but he surged for his 35th career victory after leader Graham Rahal was forced to the pits for gas with four laps left.
The raceway was unaffected by an earthquake centered just northeast of the track about 10 hours before the race began. The 6.0 quake left several drivers alarmed, but unharmed.
More gold for Ledecky and Phelps
The Pan Pacific swimming championships in Australia are over and they were successful for Michael Phelps fellow American Katie Ledecky. Phelps completed his comeback meet in international competition with a gold medal in the medley relay, while Ledecky set a second world record within 24 hours.
The 17-year-old Ledecky sliced almost six seconds off her own world mark by winning the 1,500-meter freestyle in 15 minutes, 28.36 seconds a day after lowering her record in the 400 freestyle. She finished the meet with five gold medals.
The 29-year-old Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, finished the meet with three gold medals and silvers in the 200 IM and the 4×100 relay.
Mahan finishes in front
Hunter Mahan finished two shots in front of Stuart Appleby and Cameron Tringale to win the first FedEx playoff tournament. Mahan completed play 14-under par for the win after shooting the final round 6-under-65.
Pre-tournament favorite Rory McIlroy finished the tournament at 5-under. His week was done in by a first round 74.
Ryu leads the way
South Koreans finished 1-2-3 in the LPGA's Canadian Open. So Yeon Ryu was the winner at 23-under-par after a final round 3-under-69. She finished a tournament record 23 under par. Ryu finished two strokes in front of Na Yeon Choi with Inbee Park third at 18-under.
Dunlap wins
Scott Dunlap won the Boeing Classic when he made a short birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff against Mark Brooks.
It was the fifth playoff in the 10-year history of the tournament at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge east of Seattle.
U.S. Open starts Monday
The 15-day U.S. Open, the last Grand Slam of the tennis season, starts Monday in New York. The 2013 men's singles champion, Rafael Nadal of Spain, withdrew from this year's tournament because of an injured right wrist. The men's top seed, Novak Djokovic, is in action on opening day,
The 2013 women's singles champion, Serena Williams, is going for her sixth U.S. Open and 18th overall Grand Slam title.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

|Years played
|2010, 3rd round, 31st pick by Saints
Spagnuolo preaches patience with Saints' young corners
The Saints were thin at cornerback in their loss to the 49ers, and youngsters like Johnny Patrick are being relied on more and more.
NFC South Spin cycle: Falcons keep hanging on
It will not quiet the skeptics, but the Falcons did ensure this would be their third consecutive double-digit win season on Sunday.
49ers harass Brees, defeat Saints
Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner returned interceptions for touchdowns, and the 49ers ended the Saints' three-game winning streak, 31-21 on Sunday.
NFC South Spin cycle: Stage set for Falcons-Bucs battle
The Panthers hit a new low, but the rest of the NFC South was victorious Sunday, including the Falcons and Bucs, who will meet next week.
Rivera, Mularkey, Shurmur don't come through in clutch
Embattled head coaches have something in common: They all make late-game situational mistakes that cost their teams.
NFC South Spin cycle: Saints, Bucs keeping playoff hopes alive
The talk of an undefeated season is over for the Falcons, but the playoff hopes for the Saints and Buccaneers are still alive coming off Week 10 wins.
Falcons, Lions can't channel slights properly
How a team motivates itself can go a long way in determining whether it will achieve success or suffer failure in today's NFL, Eric Edholm writes.
Saints hand Falcons their first loss
Jimmy Graham caught seven passes for 146 yards and two TDs to help the Saints hand the Falcons their first loss, 31-27, on Sunday.
Saints' situation with Payton mystifies
One team insider says the Saints' still-unsettled contract situation for suspended head coach Sean Payton is best described as a mess.
Key matchup: Falcons QB Matt Ryan vs. Saints pass defense
In today's Key Matchup, we take a look at the challenge awaiting the Saints' pass defense in Week 10.

It's all smiles in the NFC South after the Saints, Falcons, Panthers and Buccaneers each earned a victory in Week Nine.

Saints RB Sproles (hand) out for Monday night
Saints RB Darren Sproles needed surgery on a broken hand and will not play in Monday night's game against the Eagles.
Saints using scalpel rather than sledgehammer on defense
The Saints are on pace to shatter the record for most yards allowed in a season, but Joe Vitt has shot down the idea of making dramatic changes.
Graham caught a season-high nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to Carolina.||||||| It was Graham's first touchdown since Nov. 18 at Oakland.
Graham caught seven passes for a career-best 146 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 31-27 win over Atlanta.||||||| With four touchdowns in his last three games, it appears Graham will ultimately live up to his high preseason price tag. Look for him to continue putting up monster numbers down the stretch.

Graham caught eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-17 rout of Carolina.||||||| Graham finished second at his position with 1,310 yards to go along with 11 TDs, finishing only behind Rob Gronkowski's 1,327 yards and 17 TDs. Graham did lead all TEs with 99 receptions.
