Is it just me or has "CSI" reached a whole new level of high quality recently?
Since Grissom's departure, it seems the writers have been taking more storytelling chances and upped the ante.
Take Thursday's show. By the time it was done, I just sat there saying, "Man, that was a gooood episode."
Sure, it started off with a lot of murders. But the rest of the show didn't focus on the CSIers trying to figure out what happened (which they did, of course!), but there was more of an emphasis on the cast connecting with the victims.
And those moments really let Eric "Sanders" Szmanda and Lauren Lee "Riley" Smith shine.
How cool was it to see Sanders talking the father into releasing his son's deceased body to the deputy coroner?
Or how about when he voluntarily went to the father's house later to say the authorities knew who the shooter was?
(But did you notice it was pitch black when the team arrived at the crime scene, but the father was seen still cradling his son in the same position in broad daylight after the commercial break? Not to mention the security guard was still in the middle of the street; he wouldn't have been left there that long. No way.)
This last show really was Riley's time in the spotlight.
Smith really doesn't show that much of a range of emotion, but her character's even demeanor came to her advantage in dealing with the teen gunman.
Now that kid was truly something; he made it very believable when he was shaking as the situation he once thought was under control sprialed out of control.
Did you notice all the CSIers congratulated Langston on a job well done (as well he certainly did), but didn't seem to acknowledge Riley much at the end of the show?
After all, Riley had the foresight to turn on the walkie-talkie so the cops outside could hear what was going on inside; she talked the teen into letting her retrieve her first aid kit from the van AND then managed to pull her gun on the boy. THEN she got him to give up his gun and help Langston with his wounded cousin. She's the one who saved the day. Shees.
NICK'S EPISODE – BRIEFLY: The week before was Nick's episode.
The out-of-chronology storytelling really added a lot the story. Finding out more and more as the flashbacks continued made everything more intriguing. Sometimes that technique can fall short or seem like it's done for gimmick's sake, but not here. The writers handled it well, making me wonder what "really" was happening.
I know I overuse the word "refreshing" here, but wasn't that the case seeing one of the CSIs finally crack over seeing the fate of one of the victims?
What a moment at the end between Langston and Nick. There's no wonder why they are two of my favorite characters.

If you have not seen Mumbai's famous 'Lal Baug ka Raja' you can check out its lookalike in Ahmedabad. 'Lal Baug Ka Raja, Ahmedabad Ka Maharaja' was installed by the Krishna Mitra Mandal at Naranpura on Wednesday morning. The idol is nine feet tall and made of a mixture of clay and plaster of Paris (PoP).
The idol was gifted to the mandal by Sanjay Dabade and Santosh Kumar from Mumbai. This is the second year that the mandal has brought the lookalike of 'Lal Baug Ka Raja' to the city.
Speaking about the fresh elements this year, chairman of the trust Dharmesh Mehta said, "This year, we have introduced special facilities for children of Andhajan mandal and senior citizens of the Naranpura old age home. We have arranged a free pick-up and drop facility for their darshan."
He also said that a series of cultural activities has been planned for 10 days of the Ganesha festival. "We have arranged for Gujarati folk dance and retro dance competition, Daayro, Gujarati ghazal program, hi-tech laser show and bhajan sandhya for 10 days."
Artistes like Anup Jalota, Devang Patel, Shahbuddin Rathod, Prince (dancer), Ehsaan Qureshi, Raja Rancho among others will be entertaining the audience at the cultural events.
'Lalbaugcha Raja' is a popular ganesh idol in Mumbai. Lakhs of devotees throng the mandal to get a darshan of the beautifully decorated Ganesha idol. It is believed that the lord is a fulfiller of wishes, and lakhs of devotees wait for days in queues to touch the feet of the Elephant God.
Around 50 lakh devotees throng for the darshan of 'Lalbaugcha Raja' every year.

In the last three years, 45 states have reduced public pension benefits, but the actions have helped cut only $100 billion of the $900 billion funding gap, according to Boston College researchers. In 2010, public workers were paying an additional 10% toward their retirement as compared with three years earlier, which eventually will help to further close the gap, researchers say.

Mixed doubles tournament Rules
Ok so I'm playing in my first mixed couples comp and I have some questions about etiquette.
I have a pretty strong and fast first serve. What rules do I follow. Do I haut take pace off of it or do I hit her my second serve which is a kick.
I have plate mixed doubles in the past and kinda just followed what the other guy serves. I have had guys that don't care and hit to my partner at probably 120mph. In fact I have never really seen guy hold back to much. So I haut copy there speed.
Also what are some other unspoken rules. I want to play fair and don't want to be labeled an a-hole. I also want to win though.
play to win cause your opponet's will.
So your telling me if I serve 115mph and that gets me a lot of free points. Then serve 115mph to the girl.
If this is country club or club tennis and you will see these people again, do play nice by not railing a ball eye level while she's at net. Many times kick serves are just as gnarly to return cause they are nasty bounces. I'd probably give her a first with a bit of pace taken off. Play to win but play nice as nothing gained by humiliating someone at a much lesser place in their game. Win but win graciously....it's so much cooler to do it that way.
Serve whatever will get the most free points or weak returns. Depending on what level the woman is, you might find that she'll have a hard time returning the kicker than your fast-paced first serve, so whichever one works best, use that one.
I really appreciate all this advice. This is a club tournament. I find that even playing these people non tournament they are competitive but also nice and fun people. I have never played a tournament here so maybe they play the same or maybe they are more serious when it comes to a tournament. I guess I will find out.
No one serves at 120 mph in a club tournament.
It is the kind of myth only found on TW.
I'm sure exactly how fast but it's a lot faster then mine and I serve probably close to 100 maybe like 90 or 95. But I guess it's near impossible to guess a speed unless you have a radar. These guys are fresh out of college where they played
Probably just buying time waiting to find a job and probably looking for girls
just one more thing in life to be disappointed about.
If you have a 120 mph serve, the girl on the other side of the net would have less problems returning it than your second serve.
Imagine a twist and slice from a guy who really CAN serve flats at 120. The twists would hop easily 6' high off the ground, while the slice would curve so far off the court that the returner would need to take 3 steps to get to it.
Most females 4.5 and over practice against guy's flat first serves, so at least can lob it back, or volley/slice it back CC to your court.
If you have a 120 mph serve, you're at a level where you won't have a problem winning rec mixed dubs, no matter what you do.
In my experience most strong women players (4.5 or 5.0) have more trouble handling a substantial kick serve than a hard flat one (as someone else mentioned upstream). If they are 4.5-5.0 women who play mixed, they've faced plenty of power serves and will a) not be upset at seeing more and b) probably handle it better than you imagine. As always though the most effective thing is to change up location, speed and spin.
If I find yourself playing against weaker women players in mixed (just socially, I gave up 8.0 a few years ago after moving to 4.5 myself) then I am loath to hit a big first serve a) because I don't want to harass them and b) they can't handle spin at all anyway usually and it's honestly more effective to hit a kicker first serve at a very high %.
Awesome thanks for all your responses. I will experiment with both and see which one seems to be more effective
I can serve very big, 120+ avg. 1st serve (sometimes upwards of 130 if it's really cranked). I find kickers and slices can be much more successful in mixed, but you still have to keep your opponent honest with some flat serves throughout the match.

Yesterday, Wes Welker announced on his Twitter page that he had signed the $9.5 million franchise tender the Patriots placed in front of him in March.
One day after he took to the airwaves to announce that he wouldn't allow his contract situation to delay his arrival from the start of the regular season in September, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker signed up for next month's team minicamp.
"There's 9 million reasons why I wouldn't miss any regular-season game," Welker said during an interview on Boston radio station WEEI on Monday.
Yesterday, Welker announced on his Twitter page that he had signed the $9.5 million franchise tender the Patriots placed in front of him in March.
"I signed my tender today. I love the game and I love my teammates! Hopefully doing the right thing gets the right results. #leapoffaith," Welker wrote.
By signing that piece of paper, Welker made his attendance at the Patriots' June 12-14 minicamp mandatory.
With 122 receptions, Welker led the NFL in 2011. His 554 catches since the Patriots acquired him in a trade with Miami in 2007 also lead the league over that time.
When they used the franchise tag on him, the Patriots issued a statement saying their goal was to come to an agreement on a long-term deal with Welker, which has been his desire all along.
The 31-year-old Welker's signing of the tender came on a day on which the Patrots officially announced the signing of defensive back Tavon Wilson, their second-round draft pick from Illinois.
The Patriots also announced the release of free-agent quarterback Mike Hartline.

Just wondering how many others are having problems getting re-directed back to ActiveDen. For example, I was trying to get to AudioJungle and was re-directed to ActiveDen. Also, I've been getting a lot of "Page Not Found" errors when trying to submit replies and posts in the forums. I thought maybe it was on my end with something, but I've heard a few others saying something about it. Figured I would post in here to see if any of the SM's know about it. Thanks!

I have experienced the same issue.

Y by Jesse Castaneda, Jr. ou don't really see people talking on cell phones these days. Most of the time, you see them huddling over dotting their fingers over the cell phone keypads expressing themselves with the "new but primitive form" of communication called "texting". Now, texting is now old news. According to my children, texting has been around for a long while. Really - and so I thought I recently discovered it. My mind works in peculiar ways. I need things to be done in certain ways. If you move something that I had in place-even if it's just an inch or so - it just bothers me. If you can't complete a certain sentence, phrase, joke, or anything that needs to be complete, it just ticks me off. So, texting so called things like "k", which means okay or something like "gone 2 d mall", spins my head around. It's like not finishing something you started or doing a half-ass job at what you are doing. Yea, I understand that people need to be efficient, but common "r u k? (Are you okay?). No, but are you okay? Our kid's brains are turning into mulch. Spelling is out the window. And grammar? Heck, don't worry about it. No need for that. Anyone can be a writer now! Just go ahead, text a few words or write a few words on Face Book -you are an award winning author! There is no need for proper punctuation, grammar, spelling and even any form of structure. You see, I don't like texting. I do it because I get text messages. If I call someone, they don't answer. They'll text me "Y u calin me?" (Why you calling me?). It's true. These days people get pissed-off because you call them. If they do answer their cell phones, they sound annoyed. "Just text," they say. I text, but I still call just to annoy them. Texting is good when you are at a meeting, your court sentence or even your execution. I mean who wants to actually hear the voice from a "dead man walking". "u ded yet?" "nt yet" I'll look at my phone on a few occasions, but it's not to check my text messages, but to check the time. "Who you texting," someone will ask. "No one," I'll say. "Why are you looking at your cell phone?" I'll say, "Y u ax?" The mind is remarkable. It's just too bad many kids don't know how to spell remarkable.

The Vatican has already revealed the openness to possible alien life. In an interview for the Vatican Newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, Vatican astronomer, Jesuit Father Jose Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory acknowledged the possibility that alien life exists in the universe. Father Jose Funes stated that the Vatican does not believe that extraterrestrials conflict with "faith" because God made all creatures and that there could be life forms elsewhere. But somewhere in the halls of the Vatican lies the truth -the truth about God, Devil and Man. The most powerful church is now being opened to the vast universe and what lies ahead. There is a new shift evolving. The emergence of the end of the Mayan Calendar is getting near. The date: December 21, 2012. The outcome: Unknown. According to the Examiner, The Vatican is preparing itself. The examiner reports, "The Vatican's new openness on extraterrestrial life is consistent with reports of secret discussions held at the United Nations that began in February 2008. The Vatican's permanent representative to the UN, Arch- bishop Celestino Migliore, was reported to have attended along with a number of other prominent government officials to discuss increased UFO sightings and the implications of extraterrestrial visitation." There is more going on than is being said, especially when utilizing the science of reverse speech. Canadian speech recognition expert and former CBS radio producer Jon Kelly, is one of the most renown sought-after practitioners in the field of secret backward messages. With over 10 years of clinical practice and hundreds of publicly demonstrations, his accuracy is phenomenal in analyzing reverse speech. On February 20, 2009, an article about President Obama introduced reverse speech evidence of a future extraterrestrial UFO event. In a radio interview, Kelly explained that "the reverse speech analysis of Barack Obama's inaugural address reveals secret, subconscious messages about large-scale extraterrestrial events during the years of the Obama administration. Obama's first term of office runs through January 20, 2013. If re-elected, he will be in office through January 20, 2017."

Special To Laredo Media Federal nutrition cuts hurt South Texas Food Bank clients ter to a recent public opinion poll finding that 77 percent of voters (and 63 percent of Republican voters) oppose cutting SNAP (food stamps) to reduce government spending. Casso recently testified at a public forum in San Antonio on the benefit of federal nutrition programs for hungry Laredoans. The forum was attended by Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo), who subsequently voted against the budget package. "Congressman Cuellar should be thanked for his vote," Casso said. "He knows we invest in a nutrition safety net so it will be there when times are hard. Times are hard in Laredo now, and programs like SNAP are working as designed," Casso said. "We agree with the goal of deficit reduction, but we should not achieve it on the backs of the most vulnerable."

"Feeding our neighbors is a shared responsibility," said Alfonso Casso, Executive Director of STFB. "Our food bank relies on private charity and federal support to feed hungry Laredoans. Both sides of the equation are crucial to our success. If federal programs are cut, we will not be able to make up the difference." The House vote on an FY2013 budget package was widely seen as an attempt to avoid automatic, government-wide cuts placed in last year's deficit agreement. Nutrition programs now facing cuts were originally spared by that agreement on the advice of several bipartisan deficit commissions. The proposed cuts also run coun- QUIK RENTALS Ph.

She was not accused of tampering with votes but "falsifying" the complaints that some votes were not counted. The situation started when candidate for commissioner, Sheila McNeil complained to the Texas Attorney General's office that some of her supporters voted, but their votes were not counted. Ms. McNeil submitted notarized affidavits from the voters that had claimed voter-fraud. The notary that signed the affidavits was Ester Sandoval Martinez-Moreno. When an investigation went underway, investigators from the Texas Attorney General's Office concluded that the affidavits were not witnessed by the notary (Ms. Martinez-Sandoval) as required by Texas Law. She was arrested and later pleaded guilty. Ms. McNeil lost the election. In Tarrant County, Democratic Chairwoman precinct candidate, Hazel Woodard James was indicted in April 2012 of arranging for her son (a non-registered voter) to vote in behalf of his father. The fraud was exposed when the father turned-up to vote later on that day for the same precinct James was campaigning for. Voter fraud exists in all counties in America. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott posted on Twitter after hearing the recent news about Tarrant County, "Don't think election fraud exists?". The Texas Attorney General is a proponent of a new Texas Law that would require every voter to show photo identification. In March, The Justice Department yielded Texas from initiating the new law, stating that it harms minorities protected under the Federal Voting Rights Act. Abbot, insisting that this new law will protect the voting integrity of elections, went along and sued in federal court to fast-track the law before the November 2012 election. A trial is set for July 9th, 2012. Opponents have declared that it will make the voting process a hurdle for many minorities. Over 600,000 registered voters (these include a high number of minorities) do not have a Texas Driver's License or state issued identifica- VOTER tion card. It stated that Republicans want this new law to pass. It has also been mentioned that this new law only targets minorities, especially the Hispanic voter. It is only fair to say that the Hispanic vote is huge. By making the voting process difficult for many Hispanics, elections become an advantage to many candidates that can not win over Hispanic voters. A vice president of The League of Texas Women voters said, "It becomes a poll tax because it comes with a cost. I think the existing identification in place is enough for Texas elections." In the 2008, Webb County Sheriff's Elections, Martin Cuellar sued former Webb County Sheriff Rick Flores over a run-off election that decided the fate of May-June 2012 the former sheriff. Martin Cuellar won the recount by taking his opponent to district court. The verdict held that there was truth to the "awkward disparity" in regards to the re-election voting numbers. Apparently, votes that were supposed to go to Martin Cuellar were given to Mr. Flores. Martin Cuellar is now the current Webb County sheriff and is seeking re-election. Since Greg Abbott has been in office, sixty two cases were submitted for investigation. According to the Texas Attorney General's office, one case included a woman submitting her dead mother's ballot and a city council member registering foreigners to vote.

In some instances, a Canonero fills in the ballot for the elderly person and forges his or her signature. As unfortunate and pathetic that this might seem, this type of abuse goes on in every election. Whether or not a photo identification should be used for Texas elections is in debate by Texans. But the fact is this - election fraud exists and it is a problem. Votes will still be counted, even if the required photo identification is based on a racial agenda or just simply to keep fraud from creeping into the election process. And since candidates need to get elected and government still needs to keep rolling its bureaucratic wheels, dead people will still have their voice heard in the election process because as you all should know ... dead people vote. CHARGES AND OUTCOMES IN CASES HANDLED BY TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL GREG ABBOTT. Bexar County: Ester Sandoval Martinez-Moreno, accused of tampering with a government record in 2010 primary. Guilty plea. Dallas and Rockwall counties: Delores McMillian, accu- tification keep election fraud at a minimum? Maybe. But there is still the mail-in ballot. Under the new law, mail-in balloting is not affected. Voting under this process has always been vulnerable of election fraud. Mail-in ballots are commonly used by the elderly and the sick so they can exercise their right to vote. In South Texas, the mail-ballot voting process has been nothing but shameful.

Jack Strunk, a non-native former Laredoan, who now lives in Lancaster, Kentucky, came to the defense of his former adopted hometown, in an eloquent, heartfelt, and accurate description of our city, also posting his response on You Tube. Aside from hero and defender of Laredo, Honorary Laredoan Strunk's other claim to fame is as an author and as an inspiration, having overcome adversity to live a new life and share that passion for living through his book entitled, "Surviving My Life: the Jack Strunk Story." Strunk will be coming to Laredo next month to kick-off the Laredo Public Library's Summer Author Lecture Series to discuss his book, his life and his beloved Laredo. On Thursday, June 7, at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 9, at 2:00 p.m., Jack Strunk will make appearances at the Laredo Public Library, HEB Multi-Purpose Room, 1120 E. Calton Road, to discuss his life, his book. "I am so proud that we are able to bring this gentleman, this hero, to Laredo to discuss his life story and how he has overcome the obstacles in his life," said District I Council Member Mike Garza, who was part of an entourage of citizens who flew to visit him in Kentucky and thank him for his unsolicited and quick words defending Laredo. and Defender Return to Honorary Hometown Laredo's Hero Author Jack Strunk will be in town to discuss his life's story at 795-2400, x2268 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. According to Amazon.com: "Here is help for those who have suffered from a succession of devastating injuries and defeats in life. `In Surviving My Life: The Jack Strunk Story,'one can find the keys for finding hope and happiness in spite of life's catastrophes and injustices. This riveting account of Jack Strunk's courage in the face of impossible odds is inspirational, heartbreaking, and humorous. On February 8, 2004 Jack Strunk's life was nearly ended in a horrific crash at a Texas dragstrip. Jack's story is the remarkable account of how one man has moved beyond survival to spiritual prosperity in spite of tremendous personal loss." The book was written in partnership with Strunk's pastor, Gary Michael Greer. Greer is an ordained Baptist Minister and has a Ph.D. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Mike currently resides with his wife in Frankfort, Kentucky, and pastors a Baptist church in Kentucky. In mid-February, Cm.

EVERYTHING By Jesse Castaneda, Jr. HE CAN CURE A lfredo Bowman, known as Dr. Sebi, claims that he can cure everything. According to thousands of people, he has. Alfredo Bowman was born in the village of Llanga in Spanish Honduras. Dr. Sebi never went school, not even kindergarten, but he has reversed diseases that have been deemed "incurable" by modern medicine. He states that herbs, not chemical drugs will heal the body. Dr. Sebi has cured such diseases as A.I.D.S., Sickle Cell Anemia, Lupus, Diabetes, Arthritis, Cancers, Leukemia, Herpes, Epilepsy, Fibroid Tumors, and a host of other diseases. When Dr. Sebi came to the United States he suffered from asthma, diabetes, impotence and obesity. After several visits to medical doctors and no cure, he was led to an herbalist in Mexico. After being cured by using only herbs, he began to create natural vegetation food compounds geared to inter-cellular cleansing. Dr. Sebe states, "I don't treat A.I.D.S, I cure it." A medical affidavit provided by Dr. Sebi, a patient that was diagnosed with A.I.D.S was cured in two months. According to Dr. Sebi's research center -USHA Research Institute- reveals that all manifestation of disease finds it genesis when and where the mucous membrane has been compromised. His research claims that if there is excess mucus in the bronchial tubes, the disease is Bronchitis; if it is in the lungs, the disease is Pneumonia; in the pancreatic duct, it is Diabetes; in the joints Arthritis. In order to reverse a disease, Dr. Sebi uses herbal or natural plant products of alkaline nature. Alkaline is instrumental because disease can only exist in an environment that is acidic; treating a disease with inorganic substances is inconsistent because drugs are considered acid base. The use of natural botanical remedies can only effectively cleanse and detoxify a diseased body, reversing it to its intended alkaline state. His products not only remove the accumulation of toxins, but also replaces depleted mineral and rejuvenates damaged tissue eroded by acid (a diseased state). Dr. Sebi claims that his "Intra-cellular detoxifying cleanse will purify every cell in the body. The body will then rebuild and rejuvenation will take place". Dr. Sebi has been interviewed by CBS News and national networks around the globe. There are thousands of testimonials of people with life threatening diseases that have been cured by Dr. Sebi's botanical products.

The Oregonian reports that Douglas Eki and Xerxes "Jason" Doctolero told the state Occupational Safety and Health Division that they used the bucket because they couldn't get to a toilet fast enough. They testified that their employer, Menzies Aviation, refused to provide them with a toilet and that using the restrooms of nearby businesses wasn't a solution because they were not welcome. The men performed mechanical work at Portland International Airport. The state agency cited the company in August 2010 for failing to provide restrooms. The men were fired later that month. A company lawyer contended the men were fired because they kept using the bucket after being told not to.

The tickets were good for a half dozen second-place prizes. And he picked up his $6 million in winnings over the course several visits to the Arizona Lottery's headquarters in Phoenix.

She was campaigning in Saginaw County's Frankenmuth Township when the dog bit her three times. The Saginaw News says the owner heard the commotion and called off the animal. Doyle says she was bleeding and blacked out but is doing much better. She won't identify the dog's owner but says he agreed to take a campaign sign. Doyle calls it a "sympathy vote."

College (9-3) at Virginia Tech (8-4)
1 pm
--Boston College was hardly expected to be here a year after losing Matt
Ryan and a slew of key players from last year's team that lost to
Virginia Tech in the ACC title game. The defense got even better, the
offense has done just enough to get by, and the Eagles managed to
survive the Atlantic Division with a 27-17 win over Florida State
proving to be the tie-breaking difference. Coming in on a four-game
winning streak, the team that was predicted by some to finish fifth in
the division was able to get by Maryland last week with yet another
strong defensive effort, a better one than the 28-21 final score might
indicate. The Eagles already beat the Hokies earlier in the year 28-23
in Chestnut Hill as the D allowed just 240 yards of total offense, but
the offense gave up two interception returns for scores.
--Roughly three weeks ago no one thought Virginia Tech would have a shot
a defending its ACC title. With quarterback injuries, no offense, and
coming off a 16-14 loss to Miami, as part of a streak of three losses in
four games, everything seemed bleak. But wins over Duke and Virginia
kept the Hokies alive, while Miami and North Carolina collapsed. Thanks
to a 20-17 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC opener, the Hokies won the
Coastal title to get their rematch against the Eagles. This might have
been one of Frank Beamer's greatest coaching jobs, getting his team to
the title game with little to no offense whatsoever, one of the nation's
worst passing games, and spotty special teams, at least by Virginia
Tech's standards. However, the defense has stepped up to take over the
season, allowing just 46 points over the last four games.
Boston College: The Eagles get back two key players just in time for
the biggest game of the year. The team's second leading rusher, Josh
Haden, hurt his shoulder against Maryland and was knocked out, but he'll
be ready to go this week. DT Ron Brace is one of the stalwarts up front,
but he suffered a foot injury last week and was considered questionable
for this week. He'll play.
Virginia Tech: So which quarterback will play well this week?
After getting benched against Duke, Tyrod Taylor came back to completed
12-of-18 passes for 137 yards and touchdown, and he ran for 137 yards,
in the win over Virginia. Sean Glennon struggled when he got his chance,
completing just 3-of-9 passes for 39 yards with an interception. Last
year, Glennon got the nod when the team needed a steady, experienced
hand, but this year, the coaching staff has been more willing to give
Taylor the nod in key moments to get some semblance of offensive
explosion on the field.
Boston College has to … not screw up. The Eagles would've blown
the Hokies away on October 18th if it wasn't for the
turnovers. With little offensive production of its own, BC can't afford
to be on the negative side of the turnover margin and it can't have a
slew of penalties. Virginia Tech's offense isn't going to suddenly
explode on the tremendous BC D, so if the Eagles can win the field
position battle and let the defensive front control the game, they
should pull off the win.
Virginia Tech has to … get Darren Evans going right away. The
Tech offensive line can't pass block, but they've been able to lather up
and go on dominant streaks to get the running game going. Job one for BC
will be to keep Taylor from getting loose, meaning there will be several
chances for Evans to make an impact. He was held to 27 yards on 17
carries by BC in the first meeting, by far his worst performance of the
year, but when he's allowed to be a workhorse, like he was against
Maryland, he's usually able to produce. If he's not working, then Tech
will likely have to turn to Glennon and the passing game to get things
moving. Against this BC D, the Hokies don't want that.
Keep an eye on … Boston College LB Mark Herzlich. The junior has
been all over the place for the Eagle defense all season long, cleaning
thing up that the great defensive tackles haven't gotten to first. He
leads the team with 98 tackles and six interceptions, with one of his
best games of the year coming in the win over the Hokies the first time
around with 13 tackles. With three interceptions in his last two games,
he's been coming up with more and more big plays, and this week, it'll
be his job to keep an eye on Taylor to not let him get to the outside.
The number to know: 199.5 – That's the combined number of rushing
yards the two teams allow per game. Virginia Tech is second in the ACC,
and 19th in the nation, allowing 112.17 rushing yards per
game, while BC is first in the ACC and seven in the country giving up
87.33 yards per game.
And the winner is … Boston College 23 … Virginia Tech 16

Traditional Chinese medicine centres see more children
Parents turning to them, especially for conditions for which Western medicine has no treatment
Published on Aug 25, 2013 8:29 AM
One would think this place in Kembangan was a preschool or tuition centre, as it is usually crowded with children and their parents on a weekday night.
But they are actually waiting their turn at Yu Guo Chinese Physician Acupuncture and Physiotherapy, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic offering tui na or Chinese therapeutic massage.
As soon as the clinic opens for its evening session at 6.30pm, its seven massage beds fill up. Many of the patients are babies and toddlers receiving tui na or Chinese therapeutic massage for conditions such as coughs and colds, or colic.
Although much of TCM has yet to be scientifically proven, more parents are turning to it, especially in cases for which Western medicine has no treatment, like colic, or if they think their children are not getting better after seeing a general practitioner.
