text: Hey - I hear from people that ride in the area that the road on the downhill of Cats Hill is even worse than it was last year and there are a lot of cracks. Does anyone know if the race organizers or city plans to fill in any of the pot holes / cracks prior to the race? If not, for our safety, perhaps one of us can do it the evening before the race or something.

Health Care Reform Basics
Lockheed Martin is committed to providing you with comprehensive health insurance coverage and wellness programs. This won't change as key components of health care reform – the opening of health insurance marketplaces and the requirement that all Americans have health insurance by Jan. 1 – are implemented in the U.S. It's important for you to understand what health care reform means for you.
"We're facing many of the same challenges as other large corporations and we're taking action now to not only comply with health care reform, but to continue offering comprehensive benefits that help us remain positioned for future business success," said John Lucas, senior vice president, Human Resources and Communications.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – more commonly known as the health care reform law – aims to ensure health insurance coverage for the uninsured and underinsured. It assists with the purchase of insurance for those who are unemployed and incentivizes employers to provide adequate insurance. Since health care reform became law in 2010, many elements of health care reform have already gone into effect.
What Happens Next
- Health insurance marketplaces launch Oct. 1. Most Lockheed Martin employees will not be eligible for a marketplace subsidy. Read more below.
- All Americans will be required to have health insurance on Jan. 1 or pay a penalty tax.
Health Insurance Marketplaces
Beginning in October, online marketplaces will allow individuals, families and small businesses to purchase private health insurance that would be effective Jan. 1.
While many Americans who are currently uninsured or underinsured may be eligible for subsidies, most Lockheed Martin employees will not be eligible for a marketplace subsidy. In order to qualify for a subsidy, a person's individual or family income must be low enough to qualify for a subsidy and they would also have to show that their employer's health insurance does not meet two requirements: minimum value and affordability.
- To provide minimum value, employer provided health insurance must pay for at least 60 percent of plan costs. The remaining costs are paid for by the covered individuals in the form of co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance and other cost sharing features. On average, Lockheed Martin pays more than 80 percent of plan costs for our employees.
- To meet the affordability requirement, the cost of the plan for employee-only coverage must not exceed 9.5 percent of the employee's household income. To ensure compliance and because we do not have household income data, Lockheed Martin employee only plans do not exceed 9.5 percent of an individual employee's income.
If a Lockheed Martin employee chooses to purchase insurance from a source other than Lockheed Martin, the Corporation will not make any contribution to the employee's premium or out-of-pocket costs. All health care costs will be the employee's responsibility. For this reason, employees should carefully weigh the costs of a marketplace plan vs. a Lockheed Martin plan and consider all information available to them before making any decisions on coverage.
In addition, an employee who enrolls in a medical plan different from a Lockheed Martin provided plan, he/she will not be able to re-enroll in a Lockheed Martin plan until the following Annual Enrollment or as the result of a Qualifying Life Event.
The deadline to purchase health insurance through a health insurance marketplace is March 31, 2014.
Full details of Lockheed Martin's 2014 health care costs and employee options will be provided during Annual Enrollment in October.

What People Say:
"I needed a couple of fogged windows in a flip house to be replaced. My neighbor had the same windows and said had it done by Better View Glass. My meticulous neighbor kept all documentation and showed the different quotes by others and the invoice. Sure, I would get a quote from them too. I think it was the owner who came over, but not sure. Anyway, he was very friendly and sent an email quotation right away. He was cheaper than any of the other ones, I checked out to give me bids. Scheduling afterwards was not an issue and a different guy came over. Did a great job. I think it is a very small company. Invoice was emailed soon afterwards. Sometimes getting construction folks to either show up on time or send something can be a challenge. However, that was all ok and I was also happy with their work."

This is a clear, light bronze-colored beer with very little head and some effervescence. There is a very light, fruity, hop aroma. This beer has a soft taste. Hop fruit pushes up through sweet, bready, base. This lager is a little on the maltier side. This beer does actually do a decent job of foregrounding hops without any real attendant bitterness. I'll take it over many american lagers, and I'm glad this is a getting a foothold in bars in my area.

A lager beer I have to say I had never seen or heard of until today,poured a lear bronze with almost no head to speak of and what was there really left quickly leaving a flat looking beer afterwards.Decent aromas some toasty and lighlty sweet caramelly malt with a decent dose of grass and sharp herb,basic not much frill on the palate outside of a pretty good sharpness imparted by a healthy dose of hop otherwise somewhat sweet and caramelly upfront.Somewhat flat mouthfeel kinda wentdown like water in a bad way.Its decent close to being very good but misses on a few key points.

Got this as a Christmas gift. Not an especially notable product.
Clear amber head dissipated very quickly, no veil. Aroma, hello where are you? Light flavor, I guess it was to be expected from this quasi AB product.
Carbonation seemed to be the strong point of this beer for me. No thanks, no more for me. Try a Peak brewing product if you want to go organic.

I saw this in Total Wine in Landmark, VA and wanted to give it a try, having read the recent ASN and MABN articles on the A-B hop farm in Idaho that mentioned it. When poured in the glass, it's a nice amber color and very clear. The head starts OK but thins out, but there are lots of bubbles that keep bubbling right on until the end. This beer has a clean, malty aroma that smells pretty good. There's a decent flavor, a little thin, but a lingering finish and good balance all the way through. I think there's probably too much carbonation for the body of the beer. All in all, there's not enough going on to really want any more.

Seek out craft beer not this bogus, AB swindle of a brew, "Green Valley Brewing" please, this is a rip and a greedy grab for a sliver of the organic brew market...NIce looking brew, clear, tan head, respectable lacing left on the glass, but things go downhill from there....thin nose, cabadgy notes, sweet, sweet, sweet, minimal complexity..pass this stuff by...not to hard to find a "'real" craft beer made by folks who care about their product, not just profits and ripping off the consumer...sorry to rant, but this type of swindle pisses me off...

Tried this in bottle from a Ruby Tuesday's.
Appearance and smell was of a standard lager, a little behind a Sam Adams which seems to be the most obvious comparison. Had a very strong metallic taste to me that didn't seem to belong. Interesting, but not something I would really try again.

Appears a light copper amber hue with an off white decen sized head dwindles pretty quickly carbonation is large bubbled and lacing is sporadic and sparse on my glass. Aroma has soft bready sweetness touch of caramel malt with a light hop profile definitely shouldn't be called "wild" hop maybe "tame" hop would be more appropriate pretty boring. Flavor is really mild grainy sweetness no real hop profile here touch of herbal mix of grassiness with a light toasted caramel malt flavor, very boring and tame at eight bucks a sixer I'll pass. Mouthfeel is light bodied carbonation is a bit too high and somewhat sharp on the palate. Drinkabiltiy is low my crave factor to have or want another is nonexistent, I'll pass on this one in the future.

I've only had a couple of organic beers before this one, but this is the first I've considered drinkable. Very pretty lager, clear, reddish, and with a huge, wonderful froth on the top. Doesn't smell like much, perhaps a tad metallic. Taste is a dash sweet with a rather subdued hop flavor that makes this beer drinkable and enjoyable, if not overwhelmingly impressive.
There's few good organic beers out there, and this is one I can get behind.

I do my best to try and hopefully really enjoy anything that strives for the goal of totally organic. I havn't been able to fall in love with Organic Beer or Wine however.
AP: A totally clear and active light-amber with a thin, bubbly, pure-white head that dissipated quickly to a thin cap.
Nose: A mildly sweet and wheatie scented malt with a whiff of yeast. A very subtle herbal scented hop is detected way down deep.
Taste: A pleasant but a bit thin and mildly sweet malt dominated flavor with hints of nutmeg and an herbalized, wheatie flavor. There is a very subtle hop flavor that pops out at the very end.
MF: A rather light bodied brew with a mildly crisp and smooth feeling. A tad bit thin on overall.
DA: I tried.

4.15/5 rDev +36.1%
A: Clear amber body. Off-white head that holds very well and leaves nice lacing.
S: Sweetish, lightly toasty malt and floral hops.
T: There's some nice malt here, gently toasty and grainy, even nutty. It's threaded through with gently spicy, herbal, and lightly floral hops. Interesting...there's a kind of anise or cardamom like spiciness to it. Bitterness is well-heeled, leaving the malt to kind of teeter toward sweetness, but never really letting it go there.
M: Medium bodied with a fine-bubbled, median carbonation that's initially crisp before settling to become almost creamy.
D: Nice. Interesting. There's more malt here than I was expecting based on their pale ale. And the unusual hop flavors are intriguing. It's also balanced nicely and it kind of draws you back to have another sip. I could see this pairing well with veal sausage, maple-barbequed cornish hens, pumpkin soup, salmon, or a baked potato with sour cream and chives. I'll keep this one in mind when I go to pick up beer for a party where drinkers tend to be on the fence. Worth trying!

Pours a light orangish amber color that produces a small fizzy head that quickly dissapears into nothing. Very faint and mild aroma that features some mild toasted malt and a faint whiff of hops. Taste is faint toasted malt that finishes with a faint hop presence. Overall, I find this to be a pretty bland and extremely watered down brew. I can almost compare it to a watered down Sam Adams Boston Lager. I like that A-B is trying to make better beer, but this one needs a little more work.

2.17/5 rDev -28.9%
Appearance: It's golden in color and arrived with a foamy one-finger head. Retention was short and very light lacing remained.
Smell: It mostly has an earthy, grainy type smell. There's a touch of corn aroma in addition. I really think the hops in this beer are not that noticeable. I was expecting more from the name, but they're fairly light on the nose.
Taste: It's okay. Not all that different from a macro. Mostly an earthy taste with a touch of corn in there. But, it does have more of a sweet taste than is typical of most macros. Again, hops are weak. Not very bitter at all. It's also tastes a bit watered down.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: It's light bodied and goes down easy enough. But, it doesn't taste that good. Definitely not something I'd want to session. Overall, it's not very good. This was my first experience with an organic beer. I'm not antsy to try another.

Pours amber with a 3 fingers deep white head.Slight lacing & zero head retention
S: Slight hop nose
T: Citrus hops & malt sweetness up front. Not enough malt to really round the taste as a vienna, works more like an amber lager.
Slight fruittyness follows & then you get a hoppy/lemony finish
MF: Light/medium body & decent carbonation
Drinks okay, but not enough here to get excited about, having said that this is a step in the right direction for AB & I'd buy it again at many locales where there aren't many micros to choose from

A little sweet. Nice attempt at a big hopped lager, thought not sure of the IBU's here, and Victory Prima Pils is much better example of big hopped lager. But good balance, even though I wanted a little more malt cereal to come through, but that;s my personal preference.

Pours with a fizzy soda like head. decent amber orange body.
Sulfury caramel and resinous hops dominate the smell. Both are good, but don't quite go together as much as I'd like.
Lager grassiness accompanies an assertive hoppiness. Pretty nice bite at the end.
Light bodied and surprisingly flavorful. I'm beginning to think that the marketing strategy here is less "fool the beer geeks" and more "hide the true brand so Bud drinkers don't think we've gone all fruity." A surprisingly nice offering from AB nonetheless.

Pours an amber body with a thin head that goes down to a thin ring, leaving miniscule lacing. Body looks still from lack of bubbles. Clean, toasty malt in the nose with some floral hop. Simple, clean but bready malts along with some sweetness and floral and herbal hop notes. Not bad. Mouthfeel could have a bit more carbonation, but the body is moderate. Solid drinkability.
This is way better than the Stone Mill Organic Pale Ale or whatever. This actually is inoffensive, and even goes quite alright with the pizza I'm having. Not bad, but not worth the price tag when I can get Boston Lager for cheaper.

A: Poured a sunset orange color with a slight off white head. Visible carbonation was light.
S: faint caramel with some grains.
T: The flavor was light toasted grains, honeymalt sweetness with a mild herbal hopping. The flavor was fairly clean with the exception of a slight metallic tang. The beer finishes sweet with light toast notes and a dry herbal hopping, but was not as hoppy as the name led you to believe.
M: thin, a bit watery and lightly carbonated.
D: Mediocre drinkability and overall enjoyment. Worth a curious try but not at the expense of a six pack.

I've been trying a fair number of organic beers lately mainly because a local health food stores has them in a cooler and sold as singles for a reasonable price.
Poured a pale amber with a large white head. I must have shaken this bottle somehow as it took quite a while for the head to go away. Nice hoppy, earthy aroma and a bit of pine needles.
Taste is toasted malt and citrus with a nice hop bitter finish. Kind of a mild APA but interesting.
Mouthfeel was a bit thin but O.K.
Drinkability was good and if I find a sixer on sale some time I will buy it. Good sessionable brew.

12oz bottle into pint glass.
Clear amber hue with a light red tint. A one finger off-white head that slowly settle to a thick cap.
Sharp grapefruit-like hops aromas dominate, with only hints of grain in the background.
A mix of cracker like malts along with somewhat tame piney hop flavor. Medium bodied with high carbonation. The finish is papery with a little bit of the grainy malt lingering, and hints of hop bitterness. The overall taste of the finish is relatively sweet.
Comprable to a somewhat tame American Pale Ale, this one is hard to get behind. The mediocre amount of hops just doesn't mix well with the low amount of esters found in a lager.

1/3 beer and 1/3 head as poured into a pint glass. Light tan head disolves into a considerable amount of lace left on the glass. Body is a honey gold in color. Nose hits first with slight tangy hops than quickly yields to raw wheat and mineral feel, but very light. After first sip I must say I had to scan the label to make sure this one wasnt secretly produced by one of the Big three(come to find out it is affiliated). Overall bland, with just a tease of what would be considered "wild hops". Slightly bitter earthy feel is very soft on the mouthfeel. Drinkable as you would expect from a bland lager.

Today was my first time trying this beer. I'll keep this short and sweet. Nice looking bottle. Tastes more like a pale ale than a lager if you ask me. Great amber color. The head could have been a bit more creamy and thick. Over all I have to say it was a nice experience and most of all I got a nice buzz. I had a hard time finding the strenght of this beer but, if I had to judge it on my own I would say it is close to 5% maybe a little higher.

Appearance - Poured a very clear, effervescent, amber with lots of orange highlights. The head was quite large, white, frothy. Very little staying power, and just a hint of lacing
Aroma - Somewhat sour up front. A dry maltiness with some hops.
Taste - Descent blend of malt sweetness and a low level of bittering hops. The barest hint of toffee in the after-taste.
Mouthfeel - Light to medium body, just about right for the style. Has an odd dry, yet non-puckering quality. I like it. The carbonation was spot on to. A little CO2 burn on the very tip of the tongue.
Drinkability - This is an okay Vienna lager. Not great, not horrible.

The Route 250 Bypass construction has caused some traffic tie-ups but none like what is expected for the rest of this week.
Crews started construction Tuesday on a gas line that is expected to put the brakes on your commute. The flow of traffic on the bypass in Charlottesville could soon be at a standstill.
"There's going to be a gas line installation across 250. In order to facilitate that work they'll have to close lanes on 250 so one lane in each direction will be open," said Donovan Branche, a city traffic engineer.
That gas line will run from one side of the 250 Bypass near the McIntire Park wading pool to the other side of the bypass. That means only one lane of traffic will be open in each direction - a potential headache for drivers.
"It's going to be a nightmare because I can recall in recent memory in the past few months they had shut down one lane on a Friday and it took me 45 minutes to get from Belmont to Hydraulic," said driver DeAngeloo Farrish.
Travel area on McIntire Road between Harris Street and the 250 Bypass will also be reduced, down to just one lane - and there's no telling how long the backups will take.
"You can probably work through it but there will definitely be delays you can't really quantify how long the delays will be it kind of just depends on how many people will decide to take the route anyway," Branche said.
There won't be any lane closures during peak hours. The roads will be open between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
"I appreciate that they are trying to improve the road situation and we're just going to have to be a little patient even though it's painful at times," said driver Nicole Fedoravicius.
While some are willing to wait it out, others plan on staying far away.
"I'm going to have to find another route," said driver Linzie Johnson.
The closures will run on and off throughout the rest of the week. Traffic is expected to go back to normal on Saturday.

Digital certificate
Submitted by Smajser (not verified) on Sat, 26/02/2011 - 11:36.
Hi, I`m working with computer networks for years, and the cure to this illness is so simple. Just generate a DIGITAL CERTIFICATE, burn them on some cd/dvd, put it in the box, and when someone buys your product he can be 100000% sure that it is original. If that is too complicated then you can add card reader and card with digital certificate on it. And the best is that it wont cost you more than 5$. Also I believe that no one on this thread, or who is in this type of activity would mind giving 5$ more to be sure of what they are buying. btw, I have just planned to buy some speleological gear, but now .... I guess i`ll just wait Best regards Smajser

Where's the PDF?
Once you've used an article database to find articles on your topic, you may need to use in order to locate and read the full text of the article. The UC-eLinks button or link appears in nearly all the databases available from the UCB Library website.
UC-eLinks will link you to the online full text of an article if UCB has paid for online access; otherwise, UC-eLinks will help you locate a print copy on the shelf in the library. If UCB doesn't own the article in print or online format, UC-eLinks can also help you order a copy from another library.
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks. Click on the image below to watch a brief (less than a minute) video on how to enable UC-eLinks in Google Scholar.
General Article Databases
Databases are collections of thousands of articles (and often book chapters, book reviews, conference proceedings, dissertations, and other items) organized by subject. The Libraries have hundreds of databases covering every academic discipline. Some are multi-disciplinary, covering a broad range of subjects and including popular and scholarly sources, and others are subject-specific, and include scholarly and specialized articles. A complete list is available at Find Articles.
The following multi-disciplinary databases are good places to start your research:
Academic Search Complete
A multidisciplinary index to articles in more than 10,900 journals.
Google Scholar
Lists journal articles, books, preprints, and technical reports in many subject areas (though more specialized article databases may cover any given field more completely). Some listings include links to related articles and to other sources that cite the item. Includes content from free resources (such as ArXiv.org and university websites) as well as subscription resources (such as electronic journals from selected publishers). Use the UC-eLinks option, when available, to find the UCB access to a publication.
Includes over 1000 scholarly journals with access to more than 2 million articles. JSTOR is an archive which means that current issues (generally the most recent 3-5 years) of the journals are not yet available.
Project MUSE
Several hundred scholarly journals in the humanities and social sciences. Topics include literature and criticism, history, the visual and performing arts, cultural studies, education, political science, gender studies, economics and many others.

Judge in Dewani case adjourns to consider medical evidence
The judge presiding over the case of a man accused of ordering the contract killing of his wife has adjourned the case to 18 September to consider psychiatric reports from experts. Shrien Dewani will attend only if well enough.
The Defence and the CPS have asked the judge to consider whether a further adjournment of a year is necessary.

Today is the first day of May. This day is noteworthy because it is May Day, which you probably know. It is also the anniversary of the introduction of Cheerios by General Mills in 1941, which you may know. May 1 is also Fat Bear Day, which, unless you are my dad, you don't know.
May Day is an unofficial holiday in the United States, but in many countries it is a day set aside to honor workers, much like our Labor Day. It originated, according to libcom.org, as a "pagan festive holy day celebrating the first spring planting." I couldn't find the origin of the May Day basket, but there were scads of ideas on the Internet for making them.
Basically, a May Day basket is a little handmade pocket/basket suitable for hanging on the doorknob of a neighbor. The idea is to put flowers or candy in them and sneak them onto the doors of neighbors. I have never made or received a May Day basket, but I hear they are lots of fun to be part of.
If May Day isn't your thing, you could celebrate the introduction of Cheerios instead. According to cheerios.com, the original name was Cheerioats. They were the first ready-to-eat oat cereal on the market. The name was changed in 1945 to Cheerios. In 1979 Honey Nut Cheerios hit the market, which, in my humble opinion, was a tremendous improvement on the original product. Now you can get them in Apple Cinnamon, MultiGrain, Frosted, Berry Burst, Fruity, Banana Nut and Chocolate varieties. Even if you're not a fan of Cheerios, I bet you have fed them to your toddlers and subsequently picked them out of the couch cushions. Cheerios are also a great way to keep a little person occupied during the boring parts of church.

COPIAGUE, N.Y. — A fire at a factory billed as the world's biggest maker of knishes has created nationwide shock and oy for those who can't seem to find the Jewish treats anywhere.
Kvetching has been going on at delis, diners, food carts and groceries since the six-week-long shortage began, but lovers of the square, fried, doughy pillows of pureed potatoes may not have to go without much longer. The factory promises an end to the knish crunch by Thanksgiving, which coincides with the start of Hanukkah.
"Our customers ... are calling us saying they are literally searching supermarkets and stores and they're all asking when we'll be back," Stacey Ziskin Gabay, one of the owners of the 92-year-old Gabila's Knishes, which sells about 15 million knishes a year.
A fire Sept. 24 at the Gabila's plant in Copiague, Long Island, damaged the machinery that makes the company's biggest seller — "The Original Coney Island Square Knish," which also come filled with kasha or spinach.
Gabila's, which also makes matzoh balls, blintzes and latkas, sells the knishes both online and at retail outlets around the country, with New York, Florida and California leading the sales.
"For the last month I haven't had any knishes — my heart is broken," said Carol Anfuso, a native New Yorker who has been without a knish to nosh since the BJ's Wholesale store near her Atlanta home suddenly stopped stocking them.
But Anfuso didn't learn of the shortage until she visited her sister for lunch at the Pastrami King restaurant in Merrick, Long Island, and found that it was out of stock, too.
Pastrami King owner Joe Yamali said he normally sells about 2,000 knishes a month.
"It brings you back to your childhood and they're just so delicious," Yamali said. "Gabila is square and fried. You bite into it and the potato oozes out. It's very good."

MADISON (WKOW) -- The local bishop charged in a hit-and-run crash is stepping aside.
Bruce Burnside conceded he can no longer fulfill his responsibilities at the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin. The church agreed and is planning on naming an interim bishop as soon as possible. Burnside's term as bishop ends June 30.
Burnside is accused of driving drunk, then hitting and killing Maureen Mengelt as she jogged in Sun Prairie. He is currently at an in-patient treatment center while waiting for his next court appearance.
The synod's acting bishop, the Rev. Blake Rohrer, tells the Wisconsin State Journal church rules allow an interim bishop to begin serving without the formal resignation of the elected bishop.
The synod oversees 145 congregations in south-central Wisconsin.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Tennessee Titans fans are used to seeing Jeff Fisher coaching on the sidelines. Fisher spent 17 seasons with the organization, including 14 while the team was in Tennessee. However, Fisher will be on the opposite sideline from Tennessee for the first time when St. Louis hosts the Titans on Sunday.
Both teams enter the game with three wins and are on the outside of the playoff picture. Based on the first half of the season, it appears it will take at least nine wins to make the playoffs in both conferences, so the Titans and Rams have some ground to make up.
Tennessee will be the more rested of the two teams. The Titans should be fresh coming off a bye week, while the Rams will be on a short week after playing on Monday Night Football. Neither team has had much recent success recently, as the Titans have lost three in a row while the Rams are coming off back-to-back losses.
The game will be the third matchup between the two teams since 2005, and it's a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIV.
Meet the Rams
The Rams played without starting quarterback Sam Bradford for the first time last week and almost pulled off the upset, losing 14-9 to Seattle. Although St. Louis missed an opportunity to come away with the win, the Rams did well in several areas.
St. Louis struggled to run the ball early in the season but Zac Stacy has given the Rams a boost since taking over the job. He ran for 134 yards last week and is averaging 4.6 yards per carry. He suffered an ankle injury late in the game against Seattle and his health could be a key against the Titans.
The Rams are 21st in scoring defense this season, but they terrorized Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Robert Quinn now has 10 sacks on the season and is in the discussion for the best pass rushers in the league. He and fellow defensive end Chris Long racked up six sacks last week. If they can continue to pressure the quarterback, the Rams' defense could be greatly improved over the second half of the season.
Meet the Titans
Tennessee got off to solid start, opening the year with three wins in its first four games. Jake Locker's injury and a difficult stretch of schedule didn't help matters, as the Titans proceeded to drop three straight. Those losses came to Kansas City, Seattle and San Francisco, who have a combined record of 21-3.
Only three of the Titans' final nine games will come against teams currently with a winning record, so there may be an opportunity for Tennessee to play its way back into the playoff picture. If it does, it will have to play well on the road with five road games remaining, beginning with Sunday's game against the Rams.
The offense showed signs of improvement in Locker's return in Week 7, but the Titans will still need to get better. They enter Week 9 22nd in the league in scoring at 20.7 PPG. The Titans struggled early against San Francisco before scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter. Locker played well though, averaging 8.0 yards per attempt, and he could spark a second-half surge if he continues to play well.
Local Takes: St. Louis
Ryan Van Bibber of Turf Show Times was not a fan of St. Louis' final play against Seattle:
Stacy left the game late with an ankle injury, but came back in for the final play ... the final play where Schottenheimer had him lined up wide, leaving Pass Master 2000, Kellen Clemens, with an empty backfield on fourth down at the one-yard line.
Naturally, the call came for a pass, because no Rams receiver had dropped a ball or quit on a route through four quarters of football.
Local Takes: Tennessee
Jimmy Morris of Music City Miracles took a closer look at the rest of the Titans schedule and wrote Tennessee will need to finish 7-2 to make the playoffs:
The Titans schedule really does get considerably easier after the break. It is by no means a cakewalk, but there is only one game in my mind where the Titans are over-matched- @ Denver. The Titans shouldn't be more than a touchdown underdog in any of the other games.

St. Louis is coming off arguably its best performance of the season. Tennessee hasn't been on the winning side recently, but a lot of that is due to a very difficult stretch of schedule. The teams appear to be evenly-matched in many areas. The Titans, however, will have their starting quarterback with St. Louis without Sam Bradford for the season. That advantage should be enough for Tennessee to win a close one.
Pick: Titans 24-17
Tennessee was favored by four points in the opening line but the odds have shifted in St. Louis' direction since, according to OddsShark.com. Tennessee is currently a 2.5-point favorite, according to some oddsmakers.

FGCU Comes Up Short Against Boston College
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sophomore Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla.) started for the first time this season as the Eagles of FGCU faced off against the Eagles of Boston College. Crumbly ran into trouble in the top of the first as Robbie Anston (Odessa, Fla.) flared a double down the left field line to lead off the inning. Two batters later, Tony Sanchez (Miami, Fla.) lined an RBI single to left field that propelled Boston College up 1-0.
FGCU would quickly tie the game and then take the lead in the bottom of the first after Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) singled to left allowing Stephen Wickens (Whitby, Ontario) to score from second. Brad Roberts (Tampa, Fla.) would be work a walk with a 9 pitch at-bat advancing Alvarez to second. Three pitches later, Josh Chester (St. Petersburg, Fla.) drove a single back up the middle driving in the second two-out run of the inning.
FGCU would threaten again in the second inning after back-to-back singles to lead off the inning. After a sacrifice bunt by Josh Upchurch (Cape Coral, Fla.) moved the runners to second and third, a high chopper to the left side of the infield by Wickens would allow FGCU to tack on another run extending their lead to 3-1.
After Crumbly held Boston College at bay for the second straight inning, BC pitcher Kevin Moran (Yarmouthport, Mass.) would walk the first two hitters before being taken out of the game in the third. FGCU would eventually ground into an inning ending double play.
Boston College would add a run in the fourth after Sanchez lead off with a single to right center. Sanchez would advance from first to third on an error by the shortstop. With runners on first and third, FGCU would turn a double play to clear the bases with two outs; Sanchez would cross the plate making the score 3-2.
BC would mount a two-out rally in the fifth as Mike Sudol (Franklin, N.J.) reached base on a two-out walk. Anston would make it second and third after he pulled a double down the right field line. With two on and two out, Brad Zapenus (Richmond, Va.) would ground out to shortstop allowing FGCU to end the inning.
After Boston College led off the top of the seventh with a walk, the middle infield for FGCU turned an amazing double play in which Alvarez dove to his backhand side, glove flipped it to Wickens who bare-handed it and threw a rocket to first in time to get the second out of the inning. Boston College would leave two stranded after Zapenus flew out to center to end the top half of the seventh.
After FGCU's Trent Landa (Jacksonville, Fla.) began the eighth by throwing six straight balls, he recorded the first out of the inning after fielding a bunt and throwing out the lead runner at second. He would get the next batter, BC's Mike Belfiore (Commack, N.Y.) to hit a pop-up to Upchurch in center for the second out. With two outs, Barry Butera (Covington, La.) got jammed and fisted a single over the shortstop's head to extend the inning. Two pitches later, Boston College would take the lead for the first time since the beginning of the game after Garrett Smith (Sterling, Mass.) drove a fastball, just past a diving Upchurch, to the center field wall allowing both Mickey Wisewall (Stoneham, Mass.) and Butera to score easily. Freshman Jacob Barnes (St. Petersburg, Fla.) would relieve Landa for FGCU and record the third out of the inning. BC would maintain a one-run lead heading into the ninth inning.
In the ninth, after a leadoff walk and double down the left field line by Anston, Boston College had second and third with nobody out. Sophomore CJ Stallings (Northport, Fla.) would relieve Barnes for FGCU and inherit the second and third, no out situation. After walking the first batter he faced to load the bases, Sanchez would strike out on three pitches leaving the bases loaded with one out. BC's Wisewall would drive a two RBI double down the right field line extending the lead to 6-3. A few pitches later, Zapenus would score on a wild pitch by Stallings, extending the lead to 7-3. BC would have first and third, one out after Stalling hit Belfiore. FGCU would escape further damage by turning a 3-6-1 double play to end the top of the ninth.
Belfiore would switch from first baseman to pitcher for BC in the bottom of the ninth and after retiring Chester, allowed Bobby Greene (Cape Coral, Fla.) to single to right. FGCU would have runners at first and second after a one out walk. Freshman Joe Guarnaccia (Davie, Fla.) would beat out an infield single to load the bases for FGCU. Upchurch then struck out swinging for the second out of the inning. Wickens would drive in a run, making the score 7-4, with another infield single just out of the reach of the third baseman. Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla.) would drive in two more runs with a 2-2 single back up the middle pulling FGCU within one. With a 3-2 count and the runners moving, Mikel Alvarez grounded out to the shortstop to end the comeback bid by FGCU.
Senior Matt O'Brien (Higham, Mass.) pitched two scoreless innings in relief to pick up his first win of the season for Boston College. Sophomore Trent Landa (Jacksonville, Fla.) was handed the tough-luck loss, allowing two runs on five hits in an inning and two-thirds of relief.
FGCU and Boston College will close out their two-game series tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. at Swanson Stadium.

"These are generalizations of our cultural stereotypes, and these cards pick that up," said Kathy Krassner, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based Greeting Card Association. "They're relatable, and they sell."
Greeting card companies say funny cards work well for fathers who shy away from sentimentality, aren't particularly close to their children or, most often, serve as the corny family jokester known for eliciting the "Oh, Dad" groan. About 25 percent of Hallmark's Father's Day cards are in the humor category, compared with 15 percent of Mother's Day cards. Men also appreciate punch-in-the-arm, even immature, humor more than women do, companies say.
"The jokes aren't usually about dad taking you to the baseball game — that's not funny," said Ron Kanfi, president of NobleWorks. "It's hoarding the [TV] remote control or farting — that's a lot funnier than him taking you to the movies. . . . You try to give mom a fart joke for Mother's Day, it probably won't fly very well, but with dad you can.
"It's poking fun," Kanfi added. "It's not insulting him."
Tim Whyatt, an Australian cartoonist whose work appears on cards for American Greetings and NobleWorks, said dad-as-distant-goofball cartoons remain plenty popular, even as they become increasingly outdated. One of Whyatt's Father's Day cartoons shows three kids stuffed into a TV set facing a balding, shlumpy dad. One of the kids says to the mom, "It's the only way we can get him to listen to us."
In funny cards, Whyatt says, buyers want mothers portrayed "as the heroes" and fathers as "the butt of the joke." Perhaps, he said, it's because "humor likes to take potshots at the top dog," a role fathers still play in many families.

Rushville Republican
Today, Rush County residents will join citizens across Indiana and the country heading to the polls to vote for our next leaders. This year, voters will make their choices in several important races including: President of the United States, U.S. Senator, Governor, U.S. Representative District 6 and State Representative District 54 and 55.
Four year's ago, Indiana changed it's presidential colors from red to blue and awarded its electoral votes to Barack Obama, the first time since 1964 that a Democrat took Indiana's presidential vote. Recent polls predict Indiana turning red again this year when President Barack Obama faces Republican challenger Mitt Romney and Libertarian Gary Johnson on Tuesday.
Indiana has its fair share of split ticket voters leaving many results in question. In what has been a traditionally Republican voting state, crossing party lines to vote for another candidate isn't something Hoosier's are shy about. One race that is already predicted to be impacted by split ticket voting is the race between Richard E. Mourdock, R, Joe Donnelly, D, and Andrew "Andy" Horning, L, for the U.S. Senate.
Indiana's senate race garnered national media attention after Brian Howey reported that Indiana Republicans remain in danger of losing a Senate seat, as nominee Richard Mourdock trailed Democrat Joe Donnelly 40 to 38 percent in the Howey/DePauw Indiana Battleground Poll. The bipartisan poll was conducted by Republican Christine Matthews of Bellwether Research and Democrat Fred Yang of Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group and was done with DePauw University's Pulliam Center for Contemporary Media and Brian Howey, publisher of Howey Politics Indiana.
When a political contest becomes a "toss-up" like the Indiana Senate race, it's anyone's game to win. There may also be more at stake than the senate seat. The outcome of the Donnelly, Mourdock and Horning race is among a few challenges that could determine who holds the Senate majority. The poll also raised eyebrows with Mourdock's favorable/unfavorable at 26/32 percent, compared to 24/21 percent for Donnelly.
The Senate race between Donnelly, Mourdock and Horning was already on par to be the most costly in state history. Mourdock's comments during the debate that pregnancy resulting from rape is something "God intended" had both camps putting the ad spending pedal to the metal virtually ensuring new spending records for this seat.
Mike Pence's bid for Governor against Democrat John Gregg and Libertarian Rupert Boneham is also leaning Republican according to polls, but the numbers have continued to tighten.
Pence vacating the U.S. Representative ticket left that seat open to a race between Luke Messer, R, Bradley T. Bookout, D, and Rex Bell, L.
Jean Leising, R, is running for re-election unopposed as State Senator and Thomas E (Tom) Saunders, R, is facing Jeremiah Morrell, L, in State Representative Dist 54.
With lines redrawn since the last election, a new district has been created and the race is on between candidates Cindy Meyer Ziemke, R, and David (Dave) Moeller, D, for State Representative Dist. 55.
Other challenges include: Greg Zoeller, R, and Kay Fleming, D, for Attorney General; and Tony Bennett, R, and Glenda Ritz, D, for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Facing each other in local races are John J. Todd, R, and Christy Mahan Hall, D, for Rush County Coroner. Also running for the same Rush County School Board seat in District 4 are Jane Busald Carter and Tammy Jackman. Candidates running unopposed in Rush County are: David Edwin Northam, R, Judge of the Circuit Court; Debbie Richardson, R, Clerk of the Circuit Court; Mary Ann Beard, R, County Auditor; Cindy Humphrey, R, County Treasurer; Marvin L. Rees, R, County Surveyor; Bruce W. Levi, R, County Commissioner-Middle District; Mark Bacon, R, County Commissioner-Southern District; and three County Council - At Large seats with Marvin Hedrick, Warren L. Norris and Charles Smith, all Republicans.
Jeff Slaton, Rush County School Board-Dist 3; Steve Ross Sickbert, Rush County School Board-Dist 6; and Ronald Lee Lienemann, Rush County School Board-Dist 7 are unopposed.
Also on ballots in Ripley 9 and 10 are Charles A Beard School Board candidates Lanny Keith Ferrell, Steven Kent Ferrell and Michelle S. White in Charles A Beard School Board-Greensboro Twp; Don A. Scheumann and Timothy R. Wehr, Charles A Beard School Board-Ripley Twp; and Leah J. Kopp and Gerald W Leonard in Charles A Beard School Board-Wayne Twp.
Indiana is seeing a growing number of Libertarian candidates on November ballots. The Libertarian Party was granted automatic ballot access in 1994, after its candidate for Secretary of State hit another mile-marker set by state election laws, when he captured two percent of the vote. The party's share of the vote has inched up in every election since.
One thing all parties and candidates seem to agree on is the importance of voting this Election Day, Nov. 6. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you have any questions, contact the Clerk's office at 932-2086.
Melissa Conrad, 932-2222 x 107

Buildings come tumbling down in Puriton
7:00am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
ANYONE visiting Puriton last week might have been forgiven for thinking World War Three had started...
There were almighty bangs during two controlled explosions – to demolish one of the last buildings at the former ROF factory in Puriton.
The factory, which made explosives, closed in 2008 and the site, owned by BAE Systems, is being cleared ahead of its future use as an energy park.
Twenty-two kgs of explosives were used to bring down a 37-metre high former sulphuric acid plant – the acid was used to make TNT.
Avril Baker, of Avril Baker Consultancy, speaking on behalf of BAE, said: "Specialist Explosives Services were commissioned by BAE Systems to carry out the controlled detonations using cutting charges to cut through the steel uprights and kicking charges to make the building fall in the direction required."
Villagers were sent letters in the post warning them of a noisy Thursday (November 8).
The letter said: "Approximately five minutes before the explosions take place there will be a loud warning siren which should be audible to our nearest neighbours in Puriton and Woolavington.
"This activity is a scheduled and controlled part of our wider redevelopment plan. Once complete, decommissioning of the site will continue as planned."
To find out more about BAE's plans for the site, visit huntspillenergypark.com
