CAMP HILL, Pa., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Drug Free Pennsylvania will host three Media Literacy Conferences across Pennsylvania this fall. The conferences will teach you how to use specific instructional strategies for raising young people's awareness and critical thinking skills in responding to mass and social media messages that depict alcohol, tobacco, prescription and illegal drug use.
This Act 48 qualifying conference is ideal for teachers, prevention specialists, school counselors, community leaders, school nurses, and anyone who is concerned with promoting critical thinking about unhealthy messages and preventing substance abuse in our youth. In this lively, hands-on program, participants will receive new instructional practices that will help them create a dynamic learning environment for youth in and out of school.
"There are so many opportunities for children to absorb negative messages in the media today. At the same time, 78% of children have said anti-drug media messages gave them the confidence to say no. We need to arm our parents and educators with the tools they need to get the right message across to their children."-Christie Wentz, Executive Director of Drug Free Pennsylvania.
The Media Literacy Conferences will be held on the following dates and locations. All conferences are from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

You didn't come all this way just to climb in California did you? This quarry has some long, serious two-pitch routes. The huge bank of tottering scree at the back gives this area an almost Alpine feeling!

California is not obviously visible from the main public path that runs from the parking area by the Dinorwig bus turnaround. At the back right-hand side of Dali's Hole (10 minutes walk from the parking) a track leads up across scree to a tunnel entrance.

The St. Louis Rams knocked the undefeated Arizona Cardinals off 17-3 on Thursday Night Football. The power rankings guys will love that.
Like us to subscribe
The St. Louis Rams have a winning record for the first time since 2006? Even NFL Jesus is getting involved now. This is going to be BIG, people. BIG.
With a 17-3 victory on Thursday night, the Rams gave the Cardinals their first loss of the 2012 season and got themselves over the .500 mark for the first time in six years. Fresh off a 2-14 season in 2011, the win was a showcase for the amount of progress the Rams have made in a short amount of time and the future looks bright for the young franchise.
Particularly bright was the performance of the Rams defense. While they were unable to come away with an interception for the first time in 2012, their relentless pass rush finished with nine sacks and held the Cardinals to just three points. Ryan Van Bibber of SB Nation's Rams blog, Turf Show Times, called the performance an "inspired" one by the Rams defense:
"There's only one place to start, with the defense. It was the most inspired defensive performance at the Edward Jones Dome in at least as many years. The crowd ate it up, giving the home team an advantage most of the players have never experienced, not with this team at any rate."
Robert Quinn led the Rams with three sacks, while his counterpart Chris Long as well as five other players on the St. Louis defense each added one. Quinn also registered a forced fumble on his third and final sack, stripping Kevin Kolb of the ball and turning the ball back to the Rams offense to kneel out the clock.
The St. Louis Rams put an end to the Arizona Cardinals' perfect start to the season with a 17-3 win Thursday night at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford came out firing, taking his team 69 yards on just five plays, completing the scoring drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass to tight end Lance Kendricks. Arizona answered back with a methodical 17-play, 63-yard drive which ended in a Jay Feely 35-yard field goal.
From there, the defenses took over. The teams exchanged punts throughout disjointed second and third quarters, with the only scoring coming from a 53-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal that gave St. Louis a 10-3 halftime lead. At one point, Bradford threw 14 consecutive incompletions -- the longest streak without a completion in his career. Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb was harassed by the St. Louis defensive line throughout the night, taking eight sacks and numerous other hits. Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Rams wideout Chris Givens got free on a double move down the sideline, and Bradford was able to connect with him for a 51-yard touchdown that put the game out of reach.
The biggest story of the game may be an apparent injury to Rams leading receiver Danny Amendola, who left the game in the second quarter after diving for an incomplete pass. Amendola was favoring his shoulder as he was escorted by trainers to the locker room, and later reappeared on the sideline with his arm in a sling. Reports indicate he has broken his collarbone and will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
Fantasy Studs/Duds: Arizona, which was playing without starting running back Beanie Wells for the second week, abandoned the running game early in favor of empty-set formations. That allowed Kevin Kolb to rack up big numbers -- 28 completions on 50 attempts for 289 yards passing -- even though the offense failed to score. On the other sideline, Sam Bradford had one of the worst games of his career, going just 7/21 for 141 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Odds/Gambling: Arizona entered tonight's game as a one-point favorite. Obviously, they were unable to cover that spread. For more information on NFL odds, check out SB Nation NFL Odds.
Injury Info: While the aforementioned Amendola injury was the biggest story of the night, it was not the only injury news. Cardinals halfback Ryan Williams left the game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury, though he was able to leave the game without assistance. Rams safety Quintin Mikell was also injured in the second quarter after taking a shot to the head. There is no word on the extent of these injuries at this time.
Next Up: The 4-1 Cardinals return home to face the Buffalo Bills next Sunday at 4:05 ET. The 3-2 Rams get the Dolphins in Miami next Sunday.
Rams starting wide receiver Danny Amendola reportedly has a broken collarbone.
The St. Louis Rams' offense, after a fantastic first-drive touchdown run, fell apart in a hurry in the second half, but it took them a while to go to Steven Jackson. Their longtime running back, who recently tore up his 2013 contract with the Rams, was invisible most of the time, early, and ineffectual when he wasn't. As the third quarter wound down they finally went to Jackson—and the Edward Jones Dome saw, for the first time all year, the old Steven Jackson, vibrating like crazy behind the line of scrimmage and bursting through it for big gains.
The Rams' two most effective drives of the second half both featured Jackson almost self-consciously. In the first Jackson took their first four touches, going for seven, five, 11, and five more yards to get the Rams off midfield. With Daryl Richardson he proceeded to drag the Rams to the Arizona 16 before a Patrick Peterson interception ended things in the end zone.
The Rams went to Jackson again to get across midfield after finally forcing a punt. He picked up 12 and eight yards, looking faster than he has all season, before Bradford ended things early again—this time with a 51-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens.
Jackson's seemed almost like an anachronism for most of the season, struggling to even fall forward into positive yardage and making news when he's injured, or people are too excited about Daryl Richardson, or he's opting out of his contract. Thursday, whatever the outcome—he ended the drive with 14 carries for 73 yards—he's in the news because he's Steven Jackson, and he knows how to run the ball.
The St. Louis Rams maintained a seven-point lead on the Arizona Cardinals through a scoreless third quarter, as both offenses have struggled to generate any momentum. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford set a personal worst, throwing fourteen consecutive incompletions at one point. The Rams recorded just 53 yards of offense in the half, and had their one drive into Arizona territory ended on a Bradford interception.
On the other side of the ball, the Rams defensive line has dominated the line of scrimmage, leading to seven sacks of Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb and bringing the Cardinals passing game to a halt. Arizona generated just twenty yards of offense in the third quarter and failed to advance past the St. Louis 42 yard line. Kolb has taken a number of hard shots from the Rams defense, and is suffering from a cut lip and a possible jaw injury.
As the fourth quarter begins, St. Louis has the ball, 3rd and 9 at their own 28.
The St. Louis Rams' passing game, on their Thursday Night Football debut vs. the Arizona Cardinals, lay dormant for two-plus quarters after a perfect early drive, and with Sam Bradford ice-cold and Danny Amendola injured, it looked like it'd stay that way. But the Sam Bradford of 2012 differs from earlier models in at least one way: He's never afraid to throw the deep ball. One 51-yard bomb on third-down later, the Rams lead 17-3 in the fourth quarter, and rookie wide receiver Chris Givens has his first career touchdown pass.
You won't see a more beautiful pass today, and not only because they're playing football on Thursday, for some reason. Bradford had time, and Givens had separation, and the result was the kind of play you might run for your 100-rated create-a-quarterback in Madden.
After that pass, Bradford has a truly odd line: 7-for-21, 141 yards, two touchdowns, one interception. It's not a great performance, but when the defense has sacked your opposite number seven times in three quarters—and the one thing you can still do is throw 50-yard completions toward the end zone—you can afford to be less than perfect.
Patrick Peterson struck again. The Arizona Cardinals cornerback intercepted Sam Bradford last year—when he wasn't torching the St. Louis Rams' special teams—and he pulled one out of the end zone Thursday, plucking Bradford's ill-advised lob out of the air for his second interception of the season. Bradford's been terrible since the first drive saw him cover 65 yards on four attempts—overall he's 5-for-18 for just 81 yards.
Peterson still hasn't run a punt back for a touchdown this year—and rookie punter Johnny Hekker's tried his damnedest to make sure he won't—but the pick is his second of the year, matching last season's total. (It was also a bit of revenge after Danny Amendola made him look silly in the first quarter.
As for Sam Bradford, he hasn't been quite as bad as his numbers indicate—he's dealt with some drops and a number of odd miscues around the offense. But with Danny Amendola injured, he's without his most effective weapon; expect to see more of Steven Jackson and Daryl Richardson as the Rams fight to extend their strikingly resilient 10-3 lead. It might not seem right for a primetime game with an undefeated team to come down to three quarters of incomplete passes from all sides, but the Rams will take a win that way if they can get it.
Rams leading receiver left game in second quarter with shoulder injury.
The St. Louis Rams' run defense and Ryan Williams, the Arizona Cardinals' starting running back, were a classic stoppable force/movable object situation going into Thursday Night Football Week 5. Fantasy football owners who bet—hopefully out of desperation—on the stoppable force were disappointed in the first half, with Ryan Williams managing just 26 yards on 10 carries against a run defense that made world-beaters of Kevin Smith and Alfred Morris earlier in the season.
Williams, a second-rounder back in 2011, ruptured a tendon in his knee in the preseason that year, costing him his entire rookie season. In 2012 he's gotten a number of opportunities—amplified by Beanie Wells's turf toe injury—but he's been unable to capitalize on them.
William Powell, the Cardinals' second-string running back, managed one carry for seven yards behind Williams, so even this lukewarm performance is unlikely to trigger major change. If Williams is unable to do anything with the ball, the next choice isn't a running back—it's even more attempts from Kevin Kolb, whose arm could probably use a break at this point.
The Rams and Cardinals have reached halftime at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, with the Rams holding a 10-3 lead. St. Louis jumped ahead on the first possession of the game, as quarterback Sam Bradford engineered a five-play, 69-yard touchdown drive highlighted by a 44-yard completion to Danny Amendola. Tight end Lance Kendricks caught the touchdown pass. The Cardinals responded with a methodical 17-play drive, punctuated by a 35-yard Jay Feely field goal.
Both offenses were sloppy and disjointed in the second quarter, with the only scoring coming on a 53-yard Greg Zuerlein field goal. Bradford completed just one of seven pass attempts in the quarter, finishing the half 5/13 for 81 yards. Arizona signal-caller Kevin Kolb has not been much better, completing 14/27 for 133 and nearly throwing an interception for a touchdown on the half's final attempt. Kolb took a hit late in the half, and was being examined on the sideline as the half ended.
Both teams have struggled to run the ball tonight. Rams halfback Steven Jackson has five carries for 19 yards. Cardinals back Ryan Williams recorded 30 yards rushing on nine attempts.
Arizona will get the ball to start the second half.
The veteran Rams wideout went down with an apparent shoulder injury.
The St. Louis Rams have a 10-3 lead midway through the second quarter of their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, but that lead could look mighty pyrrhic if Danny Amendola's injury turns out to be serious. The Rams' leading receiver injured his shoulder on a 22-yard reception that was eventually reversed on a challenge; he stayed on the field to watch the replay but was taken back to the locker room immediately after the announcement was made.
Amendola landed hard on his shoulders trying to make the play, and didn't look seriously injured at first. But he appeared to have trouble moving it on the sidelines while he was still on the field, and he was clearly concerned right away.
Early word is that Amendola's return is questionable, which is bad news in the near-term for the St. Louis Rams' inconsistent but increasingly exciting passing game. After Sam Bradford's brilliant start Thursday—with Amendola's spectacular catch at its center—the Rams' offense has been completely invisible against the Cardinals, with Steven Jackson limited and Bradford unable to quite find his receivers. The 2011 Rams' problems extended far wider than their Week 1 loss of Danny Amendola, but there's no doubt that's on fans' mind as Bradford's favorite receiver gets checked out again.
Quintin Mikell, one of the St. Louis Rams' few defensive stalwarts in 2011, left their Thursday Night Football meeting with the Arizona Cardinals with a very scary-looking injury, taking a knee to the back of the helmet in the middle of the second quarter. Mikell was down on the field for several minutes, and surrounded by trainers, before he left the field under his own power.
Mikell's almost certainly out for the rest of the game, but things looked much worse than that before he started moving again. The Edward Jones Dome was silent, players were praying off to the side, and Mikell was invisible behind the Rams' staff. It was impossible to tell quite what was going on until the dome crowd, able to see Mikell moving better than the NFL Network cameras, erupted all at once.
There' was no immediate update on Quintin Mikell's condition, but in the moment seeing him walk off the field was just about enough. Given the NFL's continued work on preventing and minimizing the impact of head injuries, though, it seems reasonable to guess that Mikell will be unavailable Thursday.
Greg Zuerlein might, against all odds, be the most famous St. Louis Rams player in the country right now. He's certainly a national figure after his 60-yarder against the Seahawks, and in the Rams' Thursday Night Football matchup with the Arizona Cardinals the national broadcasters were already old hands at Zuerlein-mania. The Rams, looking to put some second-quarter points on the board after Danny Amendola dropped a third-down bullet from Sam Bradford, sent Greg the Leg out for his first attempt of the night from 53 yards away.
"A chip shot," the broadcasters said. At this point the national media seems to have deemed it a foregone conclusion that Zuerlein will go for the all-time distance record at least once this year—which would feel like added pressure, I guess, if Rams fans hadn't felt that way since sometime early in the preseason.
As it turned out, it was a chip shot—Zuerlein unleashed a booming kick through the middle of the uprights, and the Rams were up 10-3. In general it's never a good thing if a special teams guy is the face of your offense. But for Greg Zuerlein, the Rams might have to make an exception.
The Rams are hosting Arizona in Thursday Night Football, and early on, St. Louis looks like the 4-0 team more than the Cardinals do.
St. Louis takes a 7-3 lead into the second quarter at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis after sharp passing from quarterback Sam Bradford.
Bradford was 3-for-4 on the opening drive, hitting wide receiver Danny Amendola on a 44-yard pass on the game's second play. Amendola adjusted well to the underthrown pass, coming back for it, making the catch with just his left arm and drawing pass interference from Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson in the process.
Two snaps later, he hit WR Lance Kendricks on a seven-yard touchdown pass. Bradford also rushed for four yards on the drive.
Arizona's Kevin Kolb responded with a well-executed drive that stalled in the red zone. Kolb was 3-for-4 on third downs on the drive before Jay Feely hit a 35-yard field goal to pull the score to 7-3.
The Rams punted on their second drive, and the Cardinals have the ball just short of midfield starting the second quarter.
The St. Louis Rams got off to a startlingly fast start on Thursday Night Football, with Sam Bradford needing just four pass attempts (and a four-yard scramble) to get 69 yards and the game's first touchdown. Lance Kendricks got the touchdown, but the Rams' most impressive play came when Danny Amendola beat Patrick Peterson for a 44-yard reception that got them deep into Arizona Cardinals territory. Here's an animated GIF that you'll probably want to watch over and over.
One hand and a bicep, just like they teach you in pee-wee football. On the season Amendola has 32 receptions for 395 yards and two touchdowns. That's a significant improvement on the security-blanket Amendola we saw back in 2010—it took him 85 receptions to pick up three touchdowns and 689 yards.
In 2010, Sam Bradford's lock on Danny Amendola seemed more pathological than effective—he went to Amendola and the tight ends because he couldn't go, or wasn't trusted to go, anywhere else. In 2012, it's gone from illustrating a team liability to showing off both Rams' strengths.
Sam Bradford, Danny Amendola, and the St. Louis Rams haven't been on in primetime and a while—from the way they kicked off Thursday Night Football, though, it's clear that they'd like to be back. The Rams blew the doors off the Edward Jones Dome in the game's first two plays, with Bradford finding Brandon Gibson for 14 yards and then Danny Amendola for 44 more. A few plays later and Bradford had his fifth touchdown of the season, on a seven-yarder to tight end Lance Kendricks.
Kendricks had the touchdown, but Sam Bradford and Danny Amendola continue to be the story. Amendola, who blocked out Patrick Peterson and made a one-handed, falling-over grab for the reception, has left Rams fans wondering whether he might be more than a No. 1-by-default after all. Meanwhile, Bradford has stopped Rams fans from wondering about what might have been if they'd just kept the pick and taken Robert Griffin III.
Jeff Fisher and Brian Schottenheimer might have conservative reputations, but something—whether it was the prime time occasion or Steven Jackson's health—had them ready to gamble on their opening drive. So far they're in the money.
Patrick Peterson is a cornerback—and a very good one. But after going No. 5 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft the Arizona Cardinals' rookie did most of his game-changing in the return game. Peterson made 44 punt returns for 699 yards and four touchdowns, both of which led football. Sam Bradford's St. Louis Rams were his most frequent victims; altogether he returned eight punts for 222 yards and two of those touchdowns against the Rams, including his 99-yard touchdown return in Week 8.
Of course, while he was at it, Peterson also picked Bradford off.
In 2012, as the Cardinals get off to their best start in years, he's yet to take a punt to the end zone. And now Patrick Peterson's favorite targets are back, but they're no longer sitting ducks. This year's Sam Bradford looks much more assured than last year's model, and on special teams the Rams now have rookie punter Johnny Hekker, who threw a game-winning touchdown pass on a fake field goal in last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Don't get me wrong: Peterson is still a major part of the Rams and Cardinals' Thursday Night Football matchup. But this year the Rams might be able to fight back.
It came pretty close to a game-time decision, but Rams running back Steven Jackson will start when St. Louis hosts Arizona on Thursday Night Football.
Jackson has been hampered by a groin injury, and his participation wasn't a sure thing heading into the game. Wide receiver Danny Amendola missed some time this week but is active.
Inactive for St. Louis are defensive tackle Matt Conrath, safety Matt Daniels, running back Terrance Ganaway, offensive tackle Rodger Saffold, defensive end Eugene Sims, wide receiver Steve Smith and quarterback Austin Davis.
Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett will give it a shot Thursday after being limited in practice this week. Quarterback John Skelton was not as fortunate and will not participate in the game. Kevin Kolb will get the start for the Cardinals.
Also inactive for Arizona are wide receiver LaRon Byrd, tight ends Jim Dray and Todd Heap, offensive guard Senio Kelemete and running backs LaRod Stephens-Howling and Reagan Maui'a.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. CT.
St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson is on track to play Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals. Will he be able to help put the first blemish on the Cardinals' record?
Ryan Williams has not had a great sophomore year. It's been better than the Arizona Cardinals running back's rookie year, which he spent on crutches, and he's starting, so it could certainly be worse. But against the Miami Dolphins, in Week 4, Williams ran the ball 13 times for 26 yards. And, going into Thursday Night Football against the St. Louis Rams, that was his second-best yards-per-carry number of the season.
With Beanie Wells gone for the foreseeable future, Williams is going to have a few chances to turn things around before the Gridbirds cut his carries even further. But St. Louis could be his best bet. The Rams, even as their defense has made massive gains under Jeff Fisher, have stopped a single running back in four tries this season. Kevin Smith? 13 for 62 and a touchdown. Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris? 27 for 171 and two touchdowns. Michael Bush? 18 for just 55, but a touchdown for his troubles.
And Marshawn Lynch, on Sunday? The Rams knew he was coming, particularly as Russell Wilson was phased out following a hot start, but they couldn't do anything about Beast Mode; he ran the ball 20 times for 118 yards.
Ryan Williams's success rate is the same this year: he's had one good game in four. If he can't break through the Rams' soft run defense, the Cardinals might want to start looking elsewhere.
The St. Louis Rams are better than they've been in—well, at least a year—and Steven Jackson is dealing with a lingering groin injury and struggling mightily. The Rams are even playing Thursday night, meaning Jackson has less time than usual to recover from his heavy usage. And I'm sorry, sleeper mavens, but Daryl Richardson still isn't going to pick up consistent fantasy football points.
Richardson is an interesting prospect, in both the fantasy and real worlds. He's not as fast as he looks like he should be, but he has the kind of snap-decision-making quickness that allows a rookie running back to deal with a disintegrating offensive line, and he had to be impressive in camp for the Rams to push him so far ahead of Isaiah Pead, a guy they loved going into the draft.
But his season-to-date numbers are skewed by one big run, and for the Rams, waiting for a return to form from Steven Jackson is simply a higher-upside move than hoping Richardson or Pead can learn on the job. They'll keep doing that until Steven Jackson is so bad, or so unhealthy, that it becomes impossible. And until then, you're going to be carrying Daryl Richardson on your roster for nothing.
This week: The Arizona Cardinals' Week 1 starting quarterback, John Skelton, returns to practice as a full participant after losing a month to injury 28 passes into the season. Next week: John Skelton gets on Wikipedia to read up about Wally Pipp.
The good news, if you're John Skelton, is that you didn't exactly get Pipped by Lou Gehrig. Kevin Kolb hasn't been outstanding in Skelton's stead—he was 29-for-48 in their narrow win over the Miami Dolphins, with a lukewarm 324 yards and two interceptions to go with his three touchdowns—but Skelton wasn't outstanding to win the job. And the Cardinals, for all their narrow victories and offensive problems, are 4-0, which is the kind of fragile thing in which few coaches are going to feel comfortable changing horses. (Skelton himself earned his starting cred under similar circumstances, game-managing for a team on a winning streak.)
And Kolb, who arrived as a free agent with more-than-a-little fanfare only to become a punchline, still has the whiff of a possible starter about him. Beneath the concussions and the subpar first season in town and the bizarre quarterback competition there's the memory that people were once excited about Kevin Kolb. They aren't right now, but nobody's ever been excited about John Skelton.
As the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals meet for Thursday Night Football, Sam Bradford finds himself at a surprisingly pleasant turning point. He's certainly had worse: At the end of 2010 he missed the chance to get himself declared a Permanent Winner by pushing the Rams into the NFC West's playoffs-by-default vacuum, and in 2011 seemingly every game was a turning point, the upside getting lower and lower as the season went on until A.J. Feeley showed up and we all stopped paying attention. This is better: This time, the question is whether Sam Bradford's going to keep being average.
After a huge Week 2 and an awful Week 3, Sam Bradford turned in a Week 4 performance against the Seattle Seahawks that Football Outsiders ranked... 17th of 31, between Alex Smith and Philip Rivers. Perfectly respectable territory, and a strangely coherent mix of his two prior performances, combining an inability to get to the end zone with an ability to at least get across midfield.
That, I think, is about where Sam Bradford is in total this year—with some help from his running backs he could be basking in the glory of being faint-praised as a consummate game-manager. Week 5 is another chance for Bradford to answer the question of whether he can be more than that.
Despite being undefeated, the Arizona Cardinals are not considerable favorites over the St. Louis Rams.
Rookie kicker already making difference for Rams
The St. Louis Rams have gone 2-2 in their first four games of the season and have looked up and down while doing so. Their division leader, the Arizona Cardinals, have shocked the world with a 4-0 start, putting up wins against the Patriots and Eagles along the way.
Now, the two teams meet in an NFC West showdown on Thursday night on NFL Network. In other division action, the Seahawks will take on the Panthers and the 49ers will face the Bills on Sunday afternoon.
Here's the full NFL Schedule for Week 5 action, all times are central:
Make sure to check out SI.com for the full 2012 NFL schedule.
Since taking over for John Skelton in Week 1, Kevin Kolb has been very efficient and is No. 9 in the NFL in quarterback rating.

Basically, the big banks want to put their low-profitability customers into a penalty box of high fees and red lights. And when I say red lights, I mean that almost literally. When you call up a giant bank, a color typically pops on the customer no service rep's screen that lets them know if they should help you or not, based on how much profit you represent to them.For a typical checking account at the big banks, the interest rate is probably under 0.10%. So I can see how profitable these checking accounts can be for the banks even if these customers avoid fees.
They won't help you if you're not in the "green," both on the screen and in your finances. You need to have north of $50,000 in a checking account to be considered a profitable customer.

The Arizona Wildcats are off to a fast 15-3 start under second-year coach Sean Miller. Outside of Kansas and BYU, the Cats will face their toughest challenge this thursday as they travel to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies. Led by guard Isaiah Thomas, the Huskies look to extend their winning streak against the Wildcats to 3-0 in the past 2 seasons. This is sure to be the premier game of the week, as the Huskies are currently 1st in the PAC-10 at 5-1, with the Wildcats only a half game behind sitting at 4-1 in conference play.
One aspect of the game that should be very interesting to watch is the battle inside. Derrick Williams, who was recently named Pac-10 Player of the Week, is averaging 19.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Washington front court consists of senior Matthew Bryan-Amaning and sophomore Aziz N'Diaye, who combine for 21 points and 13.8 rebounds per game. It can only be speculated what defense head coach Lorenzo Romar chooses to use against the Wildcats, but it will be important for Williams to assert himself early on the offensive end, while staying out of foul trouble on the other.
In addition to Williams having a big game, it will almost be more important that he gets help from his supporting cast. Solomon Hill has a unique ability of disappearing in big games, while Kevin Parrom is starting to emerge as the go-to player of the Wildcats second unit. Point guard play will also be crucial for UA, as they cannot afford turnovers by Lamont Jones or Jordin Mayes that could lead to easy transition points for Washington.
It is no secret that this is the biggest game of the young conference season for both the Wildcats and Huskies. This game will come down to how Washington can contain Williams, as well as how well the Wildcats can take care of the basketball and get production from their bench. As in every game, if the Wildcats can play with intensity and togetherness, they have a legitimate shot at securing a Win. Will we see the UA team that showed up for the Kansas game, or the team that looked lost in Salt Lake? We will all have to wait and find out.

Fashion Friday: Star Look-alikes!
It's time for your weekly Fashion Friday update! And today, we have a style report that's so good, it'll make you take a second look. Literally! We caught tons of stars dressed in twin duds lately. So we thought, why not highlight some of their identical looks? First up is Victorious pair, Victoria Justice and Daniella Monet. These long time gal-pals were spotted rocking shimmery, cream-colored dresses, and both were looking completely fab.
Wanna know what's really better together? Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande sporting chic, feathery gowns and two killer smiles on the red carpet.
We guess matching with your BFF is a growing trend, because Jennette also dressed to the nines in a hip blue mini, just like her bestie Miranda Cosgrove. Lookin' good gals!
We even found Jerry Trainor's double, and he goes by the name Matt Bennett! These two totally got the checkered-shirt memo, dressing them up under cool, gray blazers. Great style minds always think alike.
And last, but definitely not least, we found Victoria and Jennette clad in stylish black and white dresses, both looking classic and trendy. Plus, they both sported similar 'dos. We could hardly tell these two friends apart!
We think Jennette may have taken the style award for most look-alike fashions. But that just means she's always in-the-know when it comes to the latest trends. Bravo!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Our office is currently waiting on specific dates, details and instructions from the Colorado OEDIT for the FY2015 grants. We will post this information as soon as its available. Thank you!
The Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant Program (BDEGP) was created by the Colorado General Assembly in 2006 to develop the state's bioscience industry; it was recently extended through 2018. The program was intended to leverage innovative bioscience discoveries made at Colorado's major research institutions in order to create new jobs and companies. Money is available, under the program, to fund proof of concept bioscience research and to accelerate the success of bioscience startup companies who have licensed technology from one of Colorado's research institutions.
Grants of up to $75,000 are available to CSU faculty in order to enhance the commercial potential of bioscience research projects that focus on life sciences, engineering, material sciences, computer sciences, photonics, nanotechnology, or biofuels. Awards require one-to-one cost sharing. The selection process at CSU is carried out through CSU Ventures. Preference will be given to those projects exhibiting the greatest commercial potential and potential to create jobs in Colorado.
CSU's Energy Institute is offering matching funds for both BDEGP and Advanced Industries grant opportuntities. The Institute will provide up to $20,000 per application for selected applications that pertain specifically to Energy (applications may also fall under other advanced industries). Please enter "Energy Institute" into the box labeled "Match Source" on the information sheet. This will enter your application into a competitive pool, from which the Institute can only match a limited number of applications. Applications not selected for Institute match funds will not be provided an opportunity to identify an alternative source of matching funds.
To begin the application process, please submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by 4pm on October 21, 2013, following the instructions provided. LOIs should be submitted to: email@example.com.

The Browns (0-3) have scored 66 less points than they've allowed entering their 1 p.m. matchup with the visiting Bengals (2-1), but this is more than a common regular season game. This is the Battle of Ohio. In case you're not familiar with the running conflict::
In the National Football League, the Battle of Ohio (also known as the Buckeye State Series) refers to games played between the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. This rivalry has produced 2 of the 8 highest scoring games in NFL history. With their December 21, 2008 win in Cleveland, the Bengals took the lead in the all-time series, 36-35.
SB Nation's Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, is confident of a win but terms a loss as unacceptable:
If the Bengals fail to win this game, then Cincinnati is back to square one. After three weeks of saying "if not for the fluke play, we'd be undefeated", the Bengals would have lost to the team that many observers call the worst NFL team this year. If the Bengals win, and do it barely, then questions will rise again about the legitimacy of the team's chances. In other words, if they barely beat the Browns, how can they compete against the conference best? I believe that the Bengals will win by at least two touchdowns. I think our defense is strong enough to keep the Browns from breaking out and I believe that our offense light the world afire.
This is the first bye week of the season. Four teams have a Week 4 bye, but 26 teams do not! Eight games kick off at 1 p.m. Sunday. Make sure you check out our game threads for live (and lively) discussion of each game.

Dell Inc.'s (DELL) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 31% as the computer company recorded double-digit revenue declines from its personal computer and mobility segments.
Dell has now posted five straight quarters of profit declines as the PC market faces growing pressure from tablet computers, intense price competition and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Two weeks ago, Dell agreed to be taken private by a group led by founder Michael Dell in a deal valuing the computer giant at $24.4 billion. The company has said it can more easily make the necessary changes to turn itself around without the scrutiny and limitations of being a public company.
Dell said Tuesday it isn't providing guidance for fiscal 2014 or the current quarter given its decisions to go private.
Dell, once the world's largest personal-computer maker, has largely been sidelined as tablets and smartphones became the more popular devices and PC sales shrank. In recent years, the company has looked to move beyond its core PC business and expand into more lucrative and high-margin businesses. To offset the slumping PC business, Dell has been on an acquisition binge, adding a variety of software, storage and networking tools.
In the latest quarter, Dell's revenue from its desktop personal computer category slipped 14%. Revenue from the mobility category, which includes notebook computers and other mobile devices, slipped 25%. Software and peripherals revenue was down 11%. Services revenue slid 3.1%. Meanwhile, server and networking revenue improved 18%.
For the quarter ended Feb. 1, Dell reported a profit of $530 million, or 30 cents a share, down from $764 million, or 43 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding acquisition-related charges and other items, per-share earnings fell to 40 cents from 51 cents.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had projected a per-share profit of 39 cents.
Revenue totaled $14.31 billion, an 11% decline from a year earlier, but up 4.3% sequentially.
Dell's downbeat outlook in November called for revenue growth between 2% to 5% from the third quarter's revenue of $13.72 billion.
Gross margin widened to 21.7% from 21.1%.
The public-customer segment's revenue decreased 9.4% while the large-enterprise-customer segment's revenue declined 6.6%. Revenue in the consumer segment sank 24% in the latest period. Small- and medium-business revenue was down 4.6%.
Shares were off by a penny to $13.81 after hours Tuesday. The stock has jumped 51% over the past three months. Dell agreed to go private at a price of $13.65 a share.

11 hours and 33 minutes
But who's counting?
Off to NY Sheep & Wool (aka "Rhinebeck") early in the morning!
Sadly the Phaeolus sweater wasn't staying closed well…was gapping, etc. So I sewed some grosgrain along the edges where the hooks and eyes are, and it seems to work well!
chickens and hens
fungus that is…
I think the chicken of the woods (the orange slabs) is so called because it's "meaty" (for a fungus), and the hen (the brown on the right) because it looks like a hen's ass. I like its chewy texture. Made Hungarian Mushroom soup out of these the other night (from the OLD Moosewood cookbook, before they got all righteous about fat and salt).
num num!
beaver leavings
Must've been some crazy beaver… I wonder what the plan here was…
No, not yet… Except for the gin and basil.
But I did get gas in DH's mom-mobile (a minivan), and new wipers, and different music (gawd save me from eightymillion hours of Jerry)

Interview with *goldshroomMerry Christmas everyone!
I have been busy with school and holiday stuff, but I've managed to have a mini-interview with one of our members, goldshroom. So here we go.
1. Who or what is your biggest inspiration for writting?
My disabled dad, my handicapped uncle, and virtually anyone who has had a difficult time finding a place in modern society. Everyone stuck in the middle, in a sense. Between the wars, political battles, changes in climate, and advances in technology, I think it becomes far too easy to forget those who have difficulty finding purpose. I'd like to tell them that nothing is purposeless. I'd like to tell them the quote I'm most likely to be famous for: "Nothing is random. Everything is a plot device."
2. How long have you been writting, and what made you start writting?
I've been writing ever since I was seven years old. I started with simple stories and songs, but became interested in fanfiction and poetry by the time I t

1. First of all, tell us something about yourself. How and when did you start drawing and photographing, and who inspired you to do that?
I think about photography is not worth talking about, because I do not consider myself particularly skilled in this, I would rather photo-model)) regarding the drawing, my first feeble attempts took place in 2006.
2. What is your favourite type of art and what do you like to draw the most?
It so happened, that I gradually moved from collage to create my own images from scratch, and at this moment the digital painting is my favorite occupation.
3. Do you have a favourite work that you mad

The artist says: "[...] I'm really happy with how this turned out for a few reasons. First, because it's a solid group shot (hopefully!) highlighting all the characters we've been growing attached to over the course of the past fourteen months playing this game. But second, and more importantly, I used this picture as profile practice. My goal was to emphasize the differences in each person's profile and facial structure."
"No two people have the same facial structure in real life, why should my drawings?"
"The main differences are in gender and race. I wanted to make sure all the males and females LOOKED male and female. Also, Asia is Indian. Nakayama is Japanese. Indian and Japanese people have slightly different features than caucasian people. I've found when drawing c

News: Plies Searches For "Goonette" For TV Contest, "It's A Female That's Strong & Independent" [Video]
Thursday, Apr 2, 2009 4:15PM
Plies has announced plans to kick-off a television reality series searching for his own personal "goonette."
In a MySpace video, the rapper revealed his ideal version of the perfect woman, or "goonette".
"Anytime you see me in front of the camera you know I got some breaking news for ya. So what I want to bring to you right now is to introduce to you my TV series, brah, that's on its way real real soon...I'm finding people that's interested in me enough that I can get them the stamp of approval and label 'em a goonette. For y'all that don't know what a goonette is, it's a female that's strong, independent female who fights through her trials and tribulations...it's a female hustler. (MySpace)
Jadakiss also recently revealed plans to launch a new BET reality show in search of an ideal deejay.
"I got this show coming on BET finding a new deejay," Jada said in an interview. "I'm gonna go to Chicago, Miami, Cali, Atlanta, Philly. Pick some males and females, bring 'em back to [Yonkers, New York] and put 'em in the house and make 'em do some P.Diddy sh*t and see what happens...I'll make 'em dig in some crates and find some wax, see who can really rock two turn tables...See if they can make a beat...And then whoever wins can really become my deejay and go out on tour with me. We'll probably start recording in two or three weeks or so...Nowadays the rap game is just a stepping stone to do other things." (iHipHop)
Other rappers including Rick Ross have begun making the move towards television specials and series.
"So what we did was we got with BET and we chronicle my life so people can understand that by the time I was 17 years-old, 18 years-old, I was in a nice home, I was in whips, I was doing a lot of different things and I made a few moves." (Big Boy's Neighborhood)
Aside from television, Plies previously spoke with SOHH about his role in hip-hop.
"A lot of people that follow me from my core audience, from my mixtape days up until now has always kinda categorized me as the realest in their opinion," he said. "[Da Realist] was kinda my salute back to all my core audience who followed me for so many years...To have my third album and to not have had a rap collaboration yet I think it speaks volumes of my character...I never came into this game looking for a cosigner" (SOHH)

Divorce in early childhood can affect how secure young children will feel about their relationship with their parents as adults. This is according to new research. A professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign analyzed data from more than 7,000 men and women, around age 24, who participated in a survey about personality and close relationships online. More than one-third of the participants' parents had divorced. The children were around nine years old at the time of the divorce. Men and women from divorced families were less likely to see their current relationship with their parents as secure. Those who parents divorced when they were under 5 were more insecure than those whose parents divorced when they were older. Researcher found when a person feels they have a secure relationship with a parent, they feel they can trust them and depend on them and that the parent will be available psychologically. The study also revealed feelings of insecurity were much greater for the adult children's relationships with their fathers. The findings appear online in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

I bought regular and light at the same time. Needless to say, the light is a completely different concoction. The appearance is pretty average, smell is of grains, slightly chemical in nature. Taste is pretty harsh. You get a substantially watered down, grainy taste which is difficult to swallow. The regular is better, of course.

Appearance: Old Style regular minus the carbonation.
Smell: Sweeter than the original.
Taste/Mouthfeel: See smell. Not as metallic as original. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth and well-balanced and hits the spot on a hot day.
Drinkability: Nice on a hot day. Maybe a bit too sweet.
Overall: Stick to Old Style regular.

Old Style Light an off-shoot of a Chicago favorite. Sitting at the Cubs game downing some OSL and it tastes F'ing fantastic....but who are we kidding? As a beer....not so much...mix in the nostalgia of Wrigley...golden. This beer is like anyother American macro light beer. Its great during the situations that call for an all-american beer!

Clear, pale-gold with a white head that disappears quick, leaves a soapy trace. The only odors detected were a faint sweetness and a little graininess. Overall, it has a very plain smell and a very plain taste low carbonation, very water-like. This light beer doesnt strain the tastebuds. This beer would be hard pressed to offend anyone, then again it would be equally hard pressed to wow anyone either.
I could not taste the can, always a plus.
It got kind of sugary at the end.
Picked up a 6-pack of 16 oz. for under $4.00 with tax.
Stick with the heavy Old Style.

Thanks to resi for the trade. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a very pale yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is a bit on the skunky side. Taste is light, very mild, really nothing coming through, rather bland. Feels light in the mouth and has good drinkability. Overall there is nothing special about this beer.

$0.50 can from Rudy's in La Salle IL.
Bottom of can is inkjetted SEP10, so I'm confident its fresh enough. "Authentically kraeusened" and 113 calories on the can.
This is a rare bird in Chicago, you wouldn't think so, but it approaches wale status. For those wanting a lighter incarnation of swill, Old Style light fits the bill.
Pale gold, traces of carbonation, about a quarter inch of foam in the glass. A few minutes later there's just a faint skim and ring of foam at the edges.
Husky grain and apple aroma that carries over into the flavor. Yeast contributes significant apple notes, coupled with a barely there malt profile. There's more to it than 'light, skunk, derp'. A clean lager with not much in the way of distracting adjuncts.
Mild astringency, otherwise smooth. Dare I say superior to Old Style. A banquet beer of epic proportions.

I love drinking old school beers , the shit my dad and grandpa got fucked up on haha
this one is very light gold pale , can see through very easily, foam stays around the rim for a little not long
Smells of sweet corn malt, and some grain not much depth to the smell or taste. The taste is almost completely absent, just corn malt , thats about it to this one , drink this one out of the can , I can't explain it , it just taste better out of the can opposed to my pilsner glass, I drank the first one from the can this is my second that I poured into the glass and the first one was much better like a 3.0 this one is like a 1.5 , so I'll average it out
Mf is incredibly light and it has a very crisp finish , this is a beer to enjoy by the dozen. very refreshing, very dry. not bad, what I expected

Heileman's Old Style Light beer has a thick, stark-white head, a clear, bubbly, golden-straw appearance, and minimal lacing. The aroma is of faint, sweet, indistinguishable grains, and the flavor is the same, with a hint of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is light and watery, and Heileman's Old Style Light finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, dry, and highly drinkable. It's an excellent light beer.

Drank this beer from a keg at a tailgate before watching my Wildcats get destroyed by Penn State.
Appearance- Surprisingly not bad. A transparent straw-yellow color. The white head is surprisingly robust, although it dissipates fairly quickly.
Smell- Almost no smell to speak of other than a little Corn.
Taste- Nothing too complex, but then again it's a light lager. Watery and uninspired, but not terrible.
Mouthfeel- Fairly crisp due to a good deal of carbonation, but the crispness feels forced
Drinkability- Goes down easy, and very light. Could drink these all day, but if given a choice I'd prefer something else.

I CAN hardly wait to try this beer as part of The CANQuest (TM), thanks to its causing me to get smarter about an old beer term that was new to me. CAN you dig it?
From the CAN: " In your neighborhood since 1902."; "Old Style is returning to the time-honored German tradition of kraeusening first used by G. Heilman in 1902 when he created Old Style beer."; "Think Local, Drink Local."; "Authentically Kraeusened."
Greg Koch CAN pooh-pooh "fizzy yellow beers" all he wants, but there is something aesthetically pleasing about them to my vision. Following the Crack & Glug, I had two finger's worth of foamy bone-white head to keep me company. The beer itself was a light golden-yellow with NE-quality clarity. The nose was faintly lager-sweet underlain with a mild amount of cereal. Pretty typical, if you ask me. Mouthfeel was medium with a light bitterness on the tongue along with some cereal flavors. Finish was slightly dry, mostly unobtrusive, sort of bland overall. I am not a proponent of the style, Old or not. It just does not have enough Ooomph for me and leaves me wanting the regular version of the beer. I am really glad to have been able to get some in a trade because a 30-cube would have left me with buyers' remorse. A definite once-and-done.

Served in a plastic cup at Wrigley Field.
When seeing a Cubs game, there should be no other beers allowed than Old Style and Old Style Light (unless you want something that has flavor...). Get some. It pours a clear jaundice topped by a barely-alive half-finger of white foam. The nose comprises light flowers, grass, a vague sense of mild citrus, and what may or may not be wheat. The taste holds notes of mild wheat, milder hops(yeah, it tastes as vague as it sounds), lemon zest, and hard water. The body is rather light, with a mildly fizzy carbonation and a watery feel. Overall, there really ain't much difference between normal Old Style and this light counterpart. I guess that's what they were going for, though, right...?

Pours a clear, pale yellow. Short 1/4 inch head with little retention and no lacing. Smells of adjunct in a lager. Fits the style. More sour than Bud Light, but still as crisp and smooth. Tastes of adjunct and has low carbonation. Overall, not real great.

Another Chicago domestic favorite of mine. Poured clear pale color with a large frothy white head that mostly diminished with virtually no lacing. Light grainy aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a sweet finish of short duration. Worth having once at Wrigleyfield!

Back in October we put together a feature entitled Fire Your Agent: 10 Actors Who Need A Change Of Career Direction. And among them was Adrien Brody, who seems to have no discerning standard for choosing projects, just as quick to do a Woody Allen movie as....well, this. Vince Offer, the guy who created the fucking Slap Chop, has made a movie. And basically, Brody, Michelle Rodriguez, Rob Schneider and Lindsay Lohan all need to fire their agents and rethink their careers for being involved in this thing.
A red band trailer has arrived for "InAPPropriate Comedy" (and after watching it, how that title is punctuated still won't make sense) and it is about as infantile and stupid as you can image. Scratch that. It's even more infantile and stupid than you can imagine. Seemingly shot on a Hollywood backlot and/or around a city without any permits, the whole thing seems to be a bunch of black dick jokes and Asian eye gags all delivered with the wit of, "Go ahead, make me gay." We don't even think thirteen-year-olds will find this funny. But Lohan getting to shoot paparazzi has a certain satisfaction, we guess.
Kudos to Vince for managing to get anybody to star in this, let alone an Oscar winner. But dear God....how did anyone finance this and agree to distribute it? Watch below. You have been warned. It opens March 22, 2013 in case you want to see it on a dare.

Sad thing is, this isn't Vince's first film. Years ago, he made a film called "The Underground Comedy Movie" which is best known for containing scenes Vince claimed were lifted for key scenes in "There's Something About Mary" (he actually filed suit against the Farrellys; they won). I'm pretty sure they sold the video through late night TV commercials. It has a 2.7 rating on IMDb. I'm starting to worry about Adrien Brody if he knew all this and still went ahead with it.

You posted about this film voluntarily? Or are there advertising dollars at work?

HOUMA, La. (AP) - Houma police say the father of two toddlers who were left unattended during a house fire on March 15 was arrested over the weekend. The Courier reports 20-year-old Romell Welsh Sr. turned himself in to Houma police Saturday at 12:40 p.m. telling authorities that he "wanted to do the right thing."
Welsh was booked with two counts of manslaughter and possession of marijuana. He is being held at the parish jail awaiting trial or bond. The mother of the toddlers, 22-year-old Vaneshia Valentine, was arrested on March 26 and faces the same manslaughter and possession charges.
The victims, 2-year-old Romell Welsh Jr. and his 1-year-old sister, Ro'Miyah Welsh, died of smoke inhalation. It was unclear whether the parents have attorneys.

A packed crowd and a surprise visit from Google welcomed eighth-grader Drexel Blair to school Wednesday morning.
"I was really, really surprised," Blair said. "I pretty much freaked out when I found out I won."
The Albert D. Lawton middle schooler was recognized by the corporate giant as one of 50 finalists in its challenge to students across the country to put their own twist on the Google logo.
"It is a portal to basically my imagination," Blair explained.
The pencil drawing was one of 130,000 entries and the only finalist to come from Vermont.
"There weren't any rough drafts, but I spent like weeks on it," Blair said.
"I feel like a proud mama, is how I feel," said Tina Logan, Blair's art teacher. "I have had Drexel for three years and Drexel is just the most incredible artist."
He's an artist who needed a little nudging; Blair initially did not want to submit his work to the competition. But Logan knew her student and his potential well. She talked to his parents and helped get everyone on board.
"We pulled it out to show Drexel's parents, and I said this is Drexel's incredible entry and he has chosen not to enter it," Logan said. "And thank goodness they said we are entering it and they overnighted it, and they rushed it, so it made it on time."
A decision the young artist is celebrating as he sets his sights on getting his creation on Google's home page.
"It would be pretty darn awesome," Blair said.
Online voting and input from Google artists will determine an overall winner to be displayed on the search engine later this month. Click here to vote.
Blair has been invited to New York City to meet the other Google finalists later this month.

The TicketCity Bowl against the Houston Cougars continues to look bleaker and bleaker for the Penn St. Nittany Lions. A day after it was announced four players won't make the trip, interim coach Tom Bradley downgraded the chances of starting quarterback Matt McGloin making the game. McGloin suffered a concussion in a post-practice fight with wide receiver Curtis Drake two weeks ago.
Bolden took all of the snaps with the first-team offense today, while walk-on Shane McGregor served as the backup.
"The longer you go, the odds of [Matt] playing aren't very good," interim coach Tom Bradley said.
Sophomore Rob Bolden was clearly the inferior passer on the year, throwing four interceptions in 109 attempts and completing only 42 percent of his throws. The two started the year in a rotation of sorts, with Joe Paterno refusing to declare an official starter, but Bolden's role diminished to the point where he hasn't attempted more than 10 passes in a game since Oct. 1.

BATSMAN Eral Anderson is the new first-team captain at Bromyard Cricket Club.
Anderson has been played at Flaggoners Green for the past four years and will be backed up by vice-skipper Ryan Tongue.
It will be Anderson's first campaign at Bromyard's helm in 2014 and he takes over the captaincy from former Sri Lanka all-rounder Dinusha Fernando.
Matt Bullock is remaining as Bromyard's first-team coach and will be assisted by Richard Brookes.
Ashley Bullock was re-elected chairman at Bromyard's packed annual general meeting.
He reflected on a hugely successful season in which the first team finished runners-up in the Worcestershire County League Division One.
After failing to win any of their first six matches, the team went unbeaten for their final 16 games, including a record-equalling run of seven victories.
The third team finished second in Worcestershire County League Division Nine, and the Sunday team won the GB Liners Marches Sunday League title.
Bromyard's second team finished mid-table in Worcestershire County League 2nd XI Division Two.
Mike Reece, who has played for Bromyard for 10 seasons, is the new second-team captain, with George Godsall, his deputy.
Tony Ree and Kevin Merris were re-elected as the respective third-team captain and vice-captain following the side's promotion-winning season.
And Graham Godsall, after almost a decade of involvement with the club, will fill the vacant Junior coaching co-ordinator's role.
Thomas Bayliss, 17, will take over the Sunday captaincy from Mike Reece, who will act as his deputy.
Other officers re-elected: Chris Graham (vice-chairman), Dan Mills (treasurer, membership secretary, Clubmark and club development plan manager); Edd Oliver (secretary, press officer, website administrator and league delegate), Clive Brazier (president), Jeff Bayliss (club captain and welfare officer), Dave Clegg (deputy welfare officer), and Gill Ree and Wendy Graham (junior organisers). Committee members re-elected: Tom Baylis, Jeff Mills, Chris Simmonds and Matt Beesley.
Meanwhile, Fernando scooped a hat-trick of honours at Bromyard's annual dinner and awards at Flaggoners Green.
The Sri Lankan star won the first-team batting trophy and the catching and six hitting trophies.
Club captain Jeff Bayliss presented prizes to: First team, batting: Dinusha Fernando, bowling: Pete Whittenbury; Second team, batting: Mike Reece; bowling: Dan Mills; Third team, batting: Kevin Merris, bowling: Matt Beesley; Catching Cup: Dinusha Fernando; Best away performance: Ryan Tongue; Clubman: Edd Oliver; Fill it Up Cup (staunch member): Graham Godsall; Six Hitting Cup: Dinusha Fernando; Most promising young player: Ian Bullock; Most improved young player: James Owens.
