One of our recent guests requested a copy of my recipe for Chocolate Crinkle cookies. Many of the recipes I prepare for guests are ones that I developed myself, but this one is an old recipe that came from a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook. It's fun to watch these cookies bake because as the dough softens in the heat of the oven, a crinkled appearance forms. Besides being tasty, the cookies are dairy free and contain no lactose.
Chocolate Crinkles
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioner's sugar
Melt chocolate by placing squares in small microwaveable dish. Heat in microwave oven at high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Squares may retain their original shape. Stir completely until melted.
In large bowl, mix melted chocolate, oil, and granulated sugar until well blended. Stir in eggs, one at a time, blending well. Add vanilla extract. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt to form a soft dough. Chill several hours or overnight until firm.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Drop into confectioner's sugar and roll until well coated with sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. Remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire racks. Enjoy!
Makes about 72 cookies

EAST LIVERPOOL - Instead of a $10 increase, the board of health Thursday gave initial reading to a resolution raising food service licenses by $5 per year, effective in February 2013.
The resolution received no support at the board's October meeting when proposed by health Commissioner Jelayne Dray, with no motion forthcoming from members.
It was agreed to table the issue for further discussion at this month's meeting after additional information was made available to board members.
Member Carl Covert offered up a motion Thursday to lower the increase, which passed unanimously, with Betsy Wells absent.
First reading was then approved with the lower figure. A special meeting was set for 4 p.m. Dec. 7 to consider second reading, with the third and final reading expected at the regular meeting on Dec. 20.
With the $5 increase, commercial food service operation or retail food establishments would see rates between $65 and $230 per year for those under 25,000 square feet, depending upon the category in which it is listed.
Non-commercial operations would see rates between $32.50 and $115, again for those under 25,000 square feet, depending upon category.
Dray told the board there are no establishments in the city larger than 25,000 square feet, for which the rates are higher.
Also included in the resolution are some decreases for vending food service operation or vending retail food establishments, to $17 for each; for mobile food service operation or mobile retail food establishment, to $60 each; temporary commercial food service operation or retail food establishment, to $25 per day; and temporary non-commercial food service operation or non-commercial retail food establishment, to $12.50.
A public hearing on the new rates will be held during the special meeting on Dec. 7.
Approved was the annual budget resolution for 2013 that included $112,896 for salaries; $41,840 for operating expenses; $19,842 for food service fund; and $8,000 for nursing fund.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (November 16, 2013) – Despite a two-goal outing from rookie Vincent Trocheck, the San Antonio Rampage (7-8-0-1) fell in their second and final meeting with the Rockford IceHogs (9-8-1-0) tonight at the BMO Harris Bank Center.
Trocheck's two goals, his seventh and eighth on the year, gave the rookie his third multi-goal and fifth multi-point game through 16 contests this season. His performance earned him the Second Star of the Game honors.
Drew Shore extended his assist streak to four games, while Alex Petrovic netted his third assist in as many games. Rampage goalie Dov Grumet-Morris made 30 saves on 33 shots and Rampage captain Greg Rallo had a season-high and team-high eight shots in the defeat.
Bolstered by the return of forwards Alex Broadhurst and Jeremy Morin, Rockford struck twice in the first period. Terry Broadhurst opened the scoring at 7:49 of the opening frame, stealing the puck in the neutral zone and dangling his way around a Rampage defender to beat Grumet-Morris shorthanded, giving the IceHogs a 1-0 lead.
The tally stands as the only shorthanded goal the Rampage have allowed through 16 games this season.
Rockford forward Jeremy Morin cashed in with the extra man on an Adam Clendening shot from the right circle, tipping it past Grumet-Morris to widen the IceHogs' lead to 2-0 at 15:18 of the first period.
The Rampage, who had scored only eight goals in the first period this season, retaliated just over three minutes later. Shore caught a pass from Jonathan Racine and fired it on net. Trocheck was there waiting and netted his seventh of the year on the tip-in past Antti Raanta at 18:23 of the first frame.
Just 42 seconds into the second period, Trocheck snuck one past Raanta for his second of the night, tying the game at 2-2. Bobby Butler collected his second assist in two nights on the play.
Grumet-Morris came up big for the Rampage minutes later, robbing Phillip Danault as the IceHogs center fired a shot point-blank from the slot.
The IceHogs would get another chance on the man advantage, but they were unable to convert and Trocheck's tally stood through the period as the only goal on the scoresheet. The Rampage were also given a 5-on-3 chance followed by an abbreviated power play, but could not find the back of the net with the extra man.
Rockford defenseman Bobby Shea broke the stalemate 6:19 into the final period off a long shot that found its way through traffic to put the IceHogs up 3-2.
With just under two left in regulation, Grumet-Morris skated to the bench to give the Rampage the extra skater. Despite a final offensive push, Rockford defenseman Klas Dahlbeck tossed the puck over the blueline with 37 seconds left to secure the win for the IceHogs, 4-2.
The Rampage went 0-for-3 on the power play and gave up one goal to the Rockford power play as the IceHogs went 1-for-2. San Antonio outshot Rockford 37-34 on the night.

Hey, i dont know a ton about the Death Note manga, i was just wodnering about how many volumes there are and things liekt hat, i have watched almost allt he anime episodes and ive read up to volume 4 in the manga, from what i understand there are 12 volumes and the 13th is some kind of how to - fact thing for the series. are there others after it or does 12 end it?
I believe it ends at twelve!!! The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Finally someoen answered me >.< lol thank you dark. i kinda figured it ened at 12, i havent seen anything beyond that either at any book store nor on eBay. thanks again =D "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
As the light doth fall the shadows will come to fight.
It continues past volume 12 and i would like to know what happened to the old L and would also like to know if the old L is related to N.
i though the old L died and i also thought that they were related but i could be wrong.
There are 37 episodes of Death note, I've seen about 30 so far. You can watch them on anime6.org if you want.
hmn...ur so lucky.u`ve already watched 30 episodes. "u can`t touch me.Love and hate make it easier 2 believe people" "important words left unsaid remain in ur heart"
pluse besides the graphic novels there is also a nother set of regler novels that are gory but a good read starting with Death Note Another Note The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases
I watch all the anime and read up to vol. 8 ofth manga but wasent there 43 episode.
There are twelve volumes in Death Note manga. The thirteenth is like a character profile/extras/how-to-read thingHuman ignorance should and will be painful its only a matter of time...

I'll take your life.

It's very seldom anymore that John Hayes goes into a game with less coaching experience than the guy across the field from him.
Thirty-three years as the head coach at Bellwood-Antis High school - with several long playoff runs - will do that.
However, tonight will be one of those rare occasions when the Blue Devils' veteran mentor will be the young pup down on the sidelines.
Jack Henzes has been coaching Dunmore for 46 years, and he'll bring the encyclopedia's worth of football knowledge - as well as a line whose size rivals that of some colleges - to Central Mountain's Don Malinak Stadium to try to derail Bellwood's state title hopes in the PIAA Class A semifinals at 7 p.m.
Both teams are 13-1.
"I love teaching and being involved with the young people. I enjoy it. It's a challenge," said Henzes, 76, who still teaches health, physical education and drivers education while advising Dunmore's SADD program in addition to guiding the football team. "My father was a coach for 33 years. Since I was 12 years of age, I saw how much he enjoyed doing it and the gratification and thought, 'That's what I want to do.' It's not a chore. I can't wait to get to school and teach my classes and get to the program."
The stadium at Dunmore is named for Henzes' father, who won 251 games but was forced to retire at 65. The younger Henzes picked up his 370th win last week, second only in state annals to Berwick legend George Curry. All but one of his assistant coaches played for him, and a couple even married into his family; his son-in-law is the Bucks' offensive coordinator, and his niece's husband runs the offensive line.
While Henzes has put up some big numbers in his career, winning one state championship and finishing as runner-up on another occasion, it is the big numbers on Dunmore's offensive line that have drawn a lot of credit for what the Bucks have been able to accomplish this season.
"What stands out about them is that they're big," Hayes said. "They're athletic. They move well. They're extremely strong up front. It's obviously a great challenge."
Four of the Bucks' starting five offensive linemen weigh at least 230 pounds. Junior tackle James McHale goes 6-foot-6, 285 and has been speculated as a likely scholarship candidate for Penn State next year. The Nittany Lions also are looking at 6-5, 265-pound tackle Mike Boland as a potential walk-on, but Henzes said he's had Pitt and a couple of other big-time Division I colleges show interest.
Behind that group, Dunmore has managed to produce a pair of 1,000-yard rushers by alternating Daiqwon Buckley (1,532 yards), with Austin Seamon (1,132 yards).
"It's nice when I'm lining up at wide receiver or quarterback and having some pretty big kids to run behind," Buck senior two-way starter John Rinaldi said. "They're all athletes, too. They go both ways, for the most part. They're a huge part of our team, because we run the ball. They're all very skilled, as well."
Dunmore's only loss came 21-0 to Old Forge when both Buckley and Seamon were out with injuries. The teams faced off again in the District 2 playoffs, with the Bucks prevailing, 7-6.
"We didn't want to make any excuses. They still beat us pretty good," Rinaldi said. "The second time, we felt that we were much more well-prepared, that we came out a lost faster. I think we just played harder overall. We really wanted the district championship."
Henzes said he expects a very competitive game this evening.
"They're extremely well-coached. They are very persistent in what they do. They use a lot of different formations and run a lot of different plays that get you off-guard. They're very talented. I like the running back that they have [Casey Gray]. The quarterback [Seth Worthing] does an outstanding job. The people up front, 64 [Keith Shawley] is outstanding," Henzes said. "I think we have to limit their possessions. They're going to score points on you. There's no question."
Bellwood will be without one of its offensive weapons tonight: Slotback Haden DeGennaro hurt his ankle in overtime last week against Delone Catholic, and Hayes said he wouldn't play. He's accounted for more than 800 yards rushing and receiving for the Devils this season. Tanner Snyder most likely will take his place on both sides of the ball.
B-A is trying to make the state finals for the first time after being turned away in two previous trips to the semifinals. Hayes said he thinks his players have a good idea of what awaits.
"I think they've got their feet back on the ground. I'm sure they recognize this is a big step, a big hurdle, and they're ready to get ready for it. The attitude's good. It's positive," Hayes said. "These are weeks that you wish you had more time to get ready, but you also wish you could play tomorrow because the anxiety is there. It's something you just want to get to."

Beautiful Car/ Not Reliable
by BMW FAN from New York, NY | October 16, 2010
I have this car for about four years now, and I think I was at the dealer eight times a year for a electrical problem. It is a great car but the time spent at the dealer is SO not worth it, waiting for hours or leaving the car with them, VERY inconvenient, and the cost of repairs is outrages. You go to the dealer to repair one thing, they come up with a few more. I LOVE the way the car looks and the drive is awesome, can not be matched by any. The only thing I do not find attractive is the dash, it is OK but does not suit/match the beauty of the car.

Nice but unreliable
by Svinaldo from Oslo, Norway | December 26, 2009
I have a 525 wagon, and while it is a blast to drive, it has proven very unreliable. I have owned it for a year and the following have needed repair: - New turbo (I have the 525 diesel). BMW reported this to be a common problem. - Airbag symbol started to light up twice, two different problems - License plate lights went out, first one then the next. Replaced the bulbs, but it was due to broken wires by the hinge. Cost > $1000 to fix! - Rear wiper stopped working and then I could not open the trunk! Also due to broken wires by the hinge. I should have replaced the harness when the license place lights went out, but shame on you BMW that you have such stupid design issus. Trunks must be designed to be opened and closed without breaking the wires!! - While cruising on the freeway, the main display went RED with a big warning "General electrical failure. It is not possible to continue your journey. Please stop and call BMW". The engine did not stop, and after 10 seconds the warning went away and has never been seen again. Spooky! - There is a clunking sound in the drive train in the short moment between accelerating and decelerating (and reverse). BMW checked it out and said it was normal, but I don't think it is. Great car to drive, but BMW should be ashamed of the reliability.

Fun car to drive
by Autobahn driver from WI | July 22, 2008
This car is a blast to drive. While it's not the 300 hp model, it has the feel of much more power than you would guess from the engine size and output. With the 6-spd, it gets well over 30 mpg highway and around 20 mpg city.

LISBON - A 22-year-old college student who recently moved to Columbiana County is running for county auditor.
Brandon J. Kovach filed candidacy petitions Monday at the county elections board to run in the Democratic primary election on May 5 for county auditor against incumbent Republican Nancy Milliken, who is seeking re-election to a fourth term.
Originally from Austintown, where he was active in the Mahoning County Democrat Party, Kovach said he recently moved to Lisbon because he and his fiancee always liked the county and would like to make it their home. He registered to vote in the county on Jan. 14.
"It isn't country enough for me," Kovach said of Austintown, where he graduated from high school. He is living in a Lisbon rental property owned by his campaign manager, Ryan Hillman.
Kovach is scheduled to graduate in May from the University of Akron with bachelor degrees in political science and criminal justice, with a minor in security administration. He intends to pursue a master's degree in public administration from Kent State University after that.
While in college, Kovach started a small business and political consulting business called Blue Revolt Consulting that he worked at as his studies allowed, and he is familiar with some accounting principles. He said running for auditor is a way to combine his interests in politics and public service while drawing on his education and consulting experience.
If elected, Kovach said he would attend the state training sessions available to new auditors to give him the additional training he needs to perform his duties. "The state trains you on everything," he said.
Kovach would donate 25 percent of his $76,754 auditor's salary to the community, another 10 percent to his church and 10 percent to start a program to reward county employees who come up with innovative ways to operate more efficiently while saving money.
He also pledged to donate 15 percent of his salary ($11,520) to the county drug task force "to hopefully make your neighborhood safer, and that will raise property values."
All these donations would reduce his salary to about $46,000, which Kovach said is "still a great income."
Kovach credited Milliken for taking a proactive approach in lobbying the state taxation department to limit increases in residential property values and would the same in fighting to limit changes in the CAUV that recently cut the tax break for farmland by 40 percent.
"People deserve a fighter, someone who will fight for them," he said.
Kovach also intends to approach county commissioners with a plan to take $1.5 million from the current record $3.3 million balance in the county general fund and use it to provide property tax breaks to residents.
"I can't promise you that we're going to give you a tax break, but I can promise you that I'll fight for it," he said.
Kovach would also work to improve office efficiency and improve the quality of state audit reports. "The state auditors have come back every year and told our auditor's office there is more we can do, and that's kind of my slogan: There's more we can do," he said.
Kovach does not intend to make a career in the auditor's office and that his long-term goal is get his doctorate degree and become a college professor. "I want to do a couple of years and do the best I can," he said.

LEWISTOWN - Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Health System have extended the original 90-day deadline leading to the definitive merger agreement, from March 5 to June 30, said Kay Hamilton, president and CEO of Lewistown Hospital.
"To the average person this seems like slow progress, but we're still in the paper part of it where we're developing an agreement," Hamilton said. "Right now, we have a first draft and have begun serious negotiation in great detail."
Major negotiations, such as insurance acceptance, continuation of the nursing school and development of capital gain, originally agreed upon in the letter of intent signed December 2012, remain consistent agreements during the current process, Hamilton said.
"Both entities have already agreed on the things we are going to do," Hamilton said. "Now, we're focusing on how these goals will be achieved. It's one thing to say you're going to keep the hospital open at its current level or better. It's another to figure out how you're going to do that."
At this point, Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Health System are immersed in the due diligence process, involving the exchange of operational documents, Hamilton said. However, before either entity can analyze the information, the lawyers must first complete a redacting process in accordance with antitrust laws, she added.
"It's important to remember, until the merger is complete, Geisinger and Lewistown are separate competitors," Hamilton said. "So we don't violate any antitrust laws, our lawyers must go through the thousands and thousands of documents to edit information that can't be shared between us at this point."
Once this process is complete, each entity can then examine the other's operational process and begin to combine the documents for the definitive merger agreement, Hamilton said.
In the meantime, management, physicians and staff from Lewistown Hospital have been meeting with their Geisinger counterparts on a regular basis to discuss the merger as it applies to each department, Hamilton said.
"I'd say there's a meeting of some sort going on every day, on one level or another," she said. "I meet with the Geisinger administration every other week in-person and we communicate by phone a couple times a week. The hospital is very much engaged with the process."
Additionally, the hospital has begun working with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office and will continue doing so until the merger is complete, Hamilton said.
"We have begun sending information and filing various document requests with the Attorney General's office," she said. "Once they're finished reading the initial paperwork, we'll receive input on how the merger should be carried out. They would say something like, 'We agree to this, our opinion is that it will work, but we need you to do this, this and this for it to work.'"
The definitive merger agreement is expected to be signed by Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Health System on June 30, Hamilton said. It will then have to be approved by both boards and the attorney general. If everything goes perfectly, the merger will be official on July 1, she said.
Further information regarding the merger between Lewistown Hospital and Geisinger Health system is available at www.lewistownhospital.org. Questions about the merger are being accepted online at www.lewistownhospital.org/merger.

Each year in the United States, approximately 300 to 400 children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 40 are diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma.
The disease was first described here at Memorial Sloan Kettering in 1921 by pathologist James Ewing. It is a tumor that involves the bone as well as the soft tissue such as that in the pelvis or chest wall. It can develop in the middle area of bones — in the femur, pelvic bone, ribs, upper arm, and thigh. Patients most commonly experience pain and swelling in the affected area.
When our doctors suspect that a child has Ewing sarcoma, the diagnosis is confirmed using x-rays, CT scans, MRI, and a biopsy of the affected tissue. Because Ewing sarcoma can spread widely throughout the body, our experts often examine the bone marrow and perform imaging studies such as chest CT scans, PET scans, and bone scans to determine how far the tumor has spread.
Our experts treat patients with Ewing sarcoma using chemotherapy to shrink the tumor and to prevent new tumors from forming. Standard chemotherapy medications used include vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and etoposide.
We also perform surgery to remove the tumor, and depending on where the tumor is located, radiation therapy may also be used to treat Ewing sarcoma. For patients with Ewing sarcoma at a high risk of recurrence, we are developing a new clinical trial of the drugs irinotecan and temozolomide.
If a child's disease returns after treatment, possible additional treatments could include a second surgery and/or radiation therapy. Your child may also be eligible for innovative therapies through clinical trials.
One of our clinical trials for newly diagnosed patients is building on our success in treating Ewing sarcoma that has returned after conventional therapy. In the past, we have shown that patients with recurrent disease responded well to the combination of two new drugs: irinotecan and temozolomide. (1) We have added these agents to the others that have been traditionally used to treat newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma in an effort to improve the chances of successfully treating these patients.

I agree with most of what is said BUT one thing, namely "rating". Again this temptation to give marks like for pupils at school? This is slightly different from, but actually essentially equivalent to, ranking journals (see the other discussion): what universal criteria would be used? how to prevent fooling the system with your good friends-colleagues giving good marks provided you do the same with them, etc.
What is needed is validation, period. No mark, no ranking, no numbers: please let us stop this primary school tendency.
Sorry for my strong opposition, but the (mis)use of numbers and ranks is perversely invading everything: let us at least struggle against it in our scientific publications.
Editor in Chief, SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications)
There exist an interesting project concerning scientific publishing in
the field of hep-th, namely, the SCOAP 3 project scoap3.org
Speaking briefly, this project is targeted to making all quality journals
in this field open access. These journals would be paid by some fund to make
the published articles open access, and libraries would pay not to publishers,
but to this fund.
There are certain criteria for the journals to be eligible for
this programme. At the moment the selection and evaluation of
journals is in process, and the procedure will be fully operational
from 2013.
It might be reasonable to consider using a similar funding model
also for mathematical journals, or just joining this project.
It seems worth mentioning that a general discussion on this and related topics is currently taking place there: http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Mathforge/Math2.0/

The Buffalo Bills were beat down Sunday by the New England Patriots, and even worse, they were beat up.
The Bills had five starters leave the game because of injuries during their 52-28 loss. Tight end Scott Chandler, receiver Donald Jones, safety Jairus Byrd and offensive linemen Cordy Glenn and Kraig Urbik all came out, with injuries of varying severity.
Both Chandler and Jones came off because of blows to the head, but passed concussion tests and said they were fine after the game. The news wasn't as good for Urbik and Glenn.
"Cordy's got an ankle that's going to be a while, and so does Urbik," coach Chan Gailey said after the game.
Gailey had little time after the game to address the challenge of replacing two offensive linemen.
"Ah, that's an excuse," he said. "We expect guys to walk in and play."
Urbik was hurt in the first quarter during a 1-yard run by Fred Jackson. He said he wasn't supposed to talk about his injury after the game, but did call it "nothing major."
Glenn was hurt late in the third quarter and did not return after a second-down play in which quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was sacked for a 5-yard loss.
Byrd, who forced both New England fumbles before being hurt, suffered a hip pointer that left him in considerable pain after the game. He was seen in the locker room on his way to the training room. Byrd was injured with about three minutes to go in the third quarter. He did not play in the fourth quarter.
Jones and Chandler took huge hits in the second half. Jones was leveled by Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork on a clean hit in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, Fitzpatrick was intercepted by Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty. During the return, Chandler took a questionable blind-side hit from New England linebacker Brandon Spikes.
"I'm fine. I passed all my tests and everything, so I should be good," Chandler said.
Amherst native Rob Gronkowski continued to be a Bills killer in his career.
The Patriots' third-year tight end had five catches for 104 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets from quarterback Tom Brady.
Gronkowski now has 27 catches for 418 yards and eight touchdowns in five games against his hometown team.
"It's great coming home," he said. "Friends and family, it's great to give them that victory, too."
Gronkowski was listed as questionable on the injury report, but his performance left little doubt he was ready to play.
"It's not as easy as it looks. It's the NFL, those guys are out there, they are great players. You got to work your butt off, you got to be going full speed in order to execute, in order to make plays," he said.
Gronkowski took advantage of a blown coverage in the Bills' secondary on his touchdown catch, which covered 28 yards on the first play of the fourth quarter. It was a nice bounce back for Gronkowski, who in the first half lost just the second fumble of his career.
"I just need to be executing plays. I can't be having that," he said of the fumble and a couple of first-half drops. "It hurts the team a lot. I need to be protecting the ball better, no doubt about that. It's awesome that Tom came back to me, trusted my abilities, trusted me the whole game.
Rookie punter Shawn Powell played his game Sunday after the Bills released veteran Brian Moorman. Powell punted five times for a gross average of 41.8 yards and net average of 39.0. He placed two punts inside the 20.
Powell's best punt was a 54-yarder in the third quarter that he angled out of bounds. His next effort, though, was his worst. It went just 28 yards.
"I wish I had that last one back, but it's an easy fix," Powell said. "I just lifted my head up a little bit. Got excited, tried to watch the ball and that's what happens. If you try and hit a golf ball not looking at it, you don't know where it's going to go and that's almost what happened."
The Patriots sprinkled in their no-huddle package in the first half on a few occasions, including their opening touchdown drive. New England also used it extensively on a drive in the second quarter that ended in a missed field goal.
"I think our communication was bad on the first series. We were having trouble getting things in and out, communicating from the front to the 'backers to the back end," Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "They took advantage of it. We knew they were gonna do that. We knew they were gonna go no-huddle. They've done it every game."
The Patriots were also in the no-huddle on Brady's touchdown scramble in the third quarter that tied the score.
Receiver Ruvell Martin missed his second straight game because of an ankle injury. The rest of the Bills' inactives were: quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, safety Delano Howell, defensive end Kyle Moore, outside linebacker Kirk Morrison, offensive tackle Sam Young and center Colin Brown.
Jackson, Moore, Morrison, Young and Brown have been inactive every game this season, Howell was inactive for the third time in four games after making his first professional appearance against Cleveland in Week Four.
The Patriots did not dress three offensive starters in wide receiver Julian Edelman (hand), guard Logan Mankins (hip) and tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle), but were still able to put up 580 yards of total offense.

McCUTCHENVILLE - Law enforcement officers and rescue workers responded to the scene of a body found in a truck parked in a lot on the upper level of Howard Collier State Nature Preserve Sunday afternoon.
Seneca County Sheriff Bill Eckelberry said he believed the death was a suicide. Officials weren't able to find anything in the truck to identify the person in it and are going to look again today, he said.
They have spoken to the family of the owner of the truck, he said.

Deputy Mark Lawson (from left), Sheriff Bill Eckelberry and Deputy Justin Nowak talk nearby as firefighters douse a truck that had been on fire at Howard Collier State Nature Preserve Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters spray water on a truck that was on fire at Howard Collier State Nature Preserve.
A Seneca County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said a man reported at 2:40 p.m. a blue Dodge Dakota that was running had been sitting in the lot for about 45 minutes.
The 115-acre park is located at 1655 W. TR 38, according to Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Eckelberry said a deputy pulled up behind the vehicle and saw through the windows that the cab of the truck was filled with black smoke. The site, he said, reminded the deputy of an email the sheriff's office had received from another law enforcement agency.
Eckelberry said email that had been sent within the past couple of weeks explained how people are taking their lives with chemicals. People mix chemicals, which creates a reaction that puts off a gas, and inhale toxic fumes, he said.
The sheriff said there was a jug on the floor of the truck's cab, and it was difficult to tell what was in it.
"We're thinking it was (a chemical situation)," Eckelberry said.
The deputy backed away from the truck. Personnel from McCutchenville Fire Department, New Riegel EMS, Seneca County Coroner's Office, Seneca County Sheriff's Office, Tiffin Police Department and Tiffin Fire Rescue Division responded to the scene.
Eckelberry said an "odd" smell was detected, and all vehicles except fire trucks pulled out of the park. The truck burst into flames and was destroyed.
Eckelberry said there was a possibility of danger to others if houses were closer to the scene. The fire department kept good track of the wind direction, and a firefighter was sent to the east end of TR 38 to block traffic, he said.
Eckelberry said two detectives from Tiffin Police Department were contacted because of training they had received about taking care of methamphetamine laboratories.
He contacted Dan Stahl, director of Seneca County's Emergency Management Agency, and Stahl then contacted Chief Bill Ennis of Tiffin Fire Rescue Division about the use of the department's equipment.
The body was released to the coroner's office.

An art expert might say this photograph of an otter could pass for a timeless masterpiece: The Scream, Edvard Munch's four-piece 19th-century masterpiece. (Okay, if the subject of The Scream was way more aww-dorable.)
Showing off a serious set of teeth, the otter seemed to mimic the painting as it floated along an Alaskan harbor.
Why so sassy? The photographer says the animal didn't seem distressed. "It is a wild otter, but it was not afraid of people who were watching from the dock only a meter or two away," Doug Perrine, of Hawaii, tells the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "The otter was floating on its back, initially sleeping, and afterwards feeding."

Corp.'s chief executive Paul Otellini has been tapped by U.S. President Barack Obama
to be a member of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
General Electric chief executive Jeffrey Immelt chairs the panel.
Its goal is to put Americans back to work, post recession and to promote
skilled and professional jobs.
The White House says that it will name more board members in coming weeks.
President Obama, following the severe recession of 2008 and 2009, first
created the board in 2009.
President Obama is currently wrapping up a West Coast trip, in which he dined
with the likes of Steve Jobs (Apple), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook),
and Eric Schmidt (Google). Today he is touring Intel's
Hillsboro, Oregon facility, accompanied by Mr. Otellini.
Mr. Otellini is only Intel's fifth chief executive. He has been with the
company for over three decades, having joined in 1974. He slowly climbed
the ranks, gaining notice as the general manager who supervised the design of
the first Pentium processors in 1993. From there he became executive
vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group, supervising
chipset and processor development.
In 2002 he was elected to the company's board of directors and became president
and chief operating officer. In 2005, he replaced Craig Barret as chief
During his reign as chief executive he sold Apple on the idea of using Intel
processors and oversaw the launch of the highly successful Core series of
processors. Despite these successes, he's had to make cuts, committing to
the largest
series of layoffs in the company's history during the downturn.
Now he's going to be looking to put Americans back to work.
quote: What I find incredible is how EVERYONE has been so quiet about this disaster. NO ONE has hardly even made a peep about it!
quote: The 'Corporate rate' chart is noted as follows "Where a progressive (as opposed to flat) rate structure applies, the top marginal rate is shown." It is showing the top rate for corporate taxes, not a mean rate.
quote: But the main point is that it is expensive to employ people in the US because of our gov't mandated standards.
quote: Everything here seems fine until there is mass unemployment here at home or we hear about the horrors of cruel child exploitation somewhere or workers at Foxconn commiting suicide.
quote: Mr. and Mrs. Suburbia feel great about minimum wage when they don't see the ugliness that it is supposed to cover up being exposed somewhere else.
quote: why do you think they need higher salaries?
quote: Maybe because the cost of goods is artificially inflated due to minimum wage and other regulatory restrictions. Not maybe. Definitely.
quote: I'd start with CEOs. Show me a CEO who's job and responsibilites are 10X more important than the US president. 100X. 1000X. Now even better tell me why sport figures get that kind of money.
quote: Because they are worth it to the people who are paying their salaries.
quote: But to your point of higher wages for professionals... why do you think they need higher salaries?
quote: why do you think they need higher salaries? Maybe because the cost of goods is artificially inflated due to minimum wage and other regulatory restrictions. Not maybe. Definitely.
quote: The $7.50/hour US worker is replaced by a 75 cents/hour worker, yeah that's a savings, but the $75/hour engineer is also outsourced for the $75/day engineer.
quote: Show me a CEO who's job and responsibilities are 10X more important than the US president. 100X. 1000X.
quote: Also - CEOs fail and they still get millions. They break laws and destroy economies and they get rewarded. Yeah things are working perfectly for CEOs, aren't they?
quote: If you look at economics 101 capitalism works when both parties feel they've gotten a fair deal. It doesn't work when 1 party tries to screw the other guy. Obviously this happens frequently.
quote: Well actually that's mostly true of only Americans, who seem to think that paying taxes allows them to be oblivious to government and political events, and that they will be left alone according.
quote: Now why would you say that? Didn't this family get all upset about Nike and child labor? Yeah I know, for all of 15 minutes. Mostly they are not upset though is because our press chooses not to publish such stories. You need to ask them why. I'm no mind reader. You learned about Foxconn here, no mainstream media, right?
quote: Well as usual in this economy equation you leave out crime. When people can't make ends meet they do bad things, these could be factored into the cost of goods. The alternative is to raise taxes on everyone to cover such costs. Economists argue many goods are not fairly priced, because prices don't include the cost to society after the item is disposed of. I'm not taking a stand on that, but is it a valid point?
quote: Our government currently is pushing the highest corporate taxes in the world.
quote: You Nanny Statist liberals
quote: hate it when a company makes a freaking PROFIT
quote: I wonder what will lead to more jobs, Obama's dinner with Otellini, or the new $2.7 billion 22nm fab in Israel. OR the new 5 billion dollar investment in Arizona for the 14nm Fab 42. http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom...

Click through below for the tutorial…
- 1-1/2 yards of thicker knit fabric (depends on how oversized you want it to be)
- Cardigan of your own for the pattern
- Matching thread
- Pattern/tracing paper
- Notions- scissors, pins, matching thread, marking pencil
- Sewing machine
- Serger (optional)
- Double needle (optional)
I left the front open sections of the cardigan unfinished since the edges curl a bit, but I liked the look of it. The front is open, with lots of fabric fold together at the neckline which gives it a perfectly imperfect look.
The days that I wear this cardigan are the days that not a whole lot on my "to do" list gets done. I get the same effect when I wear my robe around the house. For some reason being draped in a lot of cozy fabric makes hot chocolate, a floor scattered with toys, and a big pile of library books instantly appealing.

Shankar's foundation said in a statement that he had suffered upper respiratory and heart problems and had undergone heart-valve replacement surgery last week, reports the Associated Press.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also confirmed Shankar's death, calling him a "national treasure."
But it was his daughter, singer Norah Jones, who honed in on his legacy: "My Dad's music touched millions of people. He will be greatly missed by me and music lovers everywhere."
Robindra Shankar Chowdhury was born on April 7, 1920, in Varanasi (also known as Benares), India, and shot to international fame in 1965, when Beatle George Harrison studied with him. Already, Shankar, whose 1982 film score for the biopic Gandhi would earn him an Oscar nomination, had met and performed with classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
Other collaborators over the decades included flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane, who named his son Ravi.
Shankar had two children of his own: daughters Anoushka Shankar, a sitar player, and the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones. Her mother, concert promoter Sue Jones, and Shankar had had a long relationship.
After helping Harrison master the sitar, which resulted in the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood," Shankar went on to influence the Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Byrds and other rock groups, and made Shankar something of a rock star himself. He performed the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival and at Woodstock in 1969.
Evan Agostini / AP
He is survived by his wife, Sukanya Rajan, whom he married in 1989, and his two daughters, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

When the sexy singer said he'd water ski naked if Spain won the World Cup, people were skeptical that he would actually deliver. Turns out, he has every intention to follow through.
"I need to get my Brazilian wax before I do it," he told PEOPLE at the 150th episode taping of So You Think You Can Dance. "Actually, I'm just waiting for a day off. A bet's a bet."
Added the singer: "I used to do it in high school, so what's the big deal?"
And while there have been rumors that the police will be patrolling for a fully-exposed Iglesias, he plans on warding them off by choosing a dark night to take the plunge in the Biscayne Bay.
"I never got arrested in high school for doing it," he said while also wondering, "Can you really get arrested for skiing naked?"
One other concern? "The water's hot in Miami," he said. "The only thing I'm worried about is if you fall at night, there's sharks in the water."

The Stetson women's tennis team (2-0) started strong and didn't look back, defeating Charleston Southern (1-1) by a score of 5-2 on Saturday afternoon at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center. The Hatters picked up the first five points of the match to secure the victory.
"We defeated a very good team today," Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said of Charleston Southern. "They came back strong in singles, but we were able to counter their effort to change the momentum of the match."
The Hatters opened competition by sweeping the doubles matches, taking a 1-0 lead. Junior Lindsey Cable (Gainesville, Fla.) and freshman Eveline Lepinay (Quebec City, Quebec) got it started by defeating Chanel Bell and Alexandra Walters 8-2.
Freshman Andrea Crespo (Valencia, Spain) and Junior Diana Bukajeva (Riga, Latvia) then did their job, defeating Alia Nour and Angelica Sidorenko 8-2 to secure the point for Stetson.
Seniors Sara Lazarevic (Calgary, Alta) and Jen Miller (Tampa, Fla.) finished the sweep with an 8-4 victory over Marketa Placha and Susita Das.
"Our doubles pairs played at an excellent level today," Pilote said after the victory.
Cable got the Hatters off to a fast start in singles play, defeating Bell 6-2, 6-2. Bukajeva followed Cable with a victory of her own, defeating Nour 6-3, 6-3. Miller clinched the match for Stetson, winning 6-2, 6-4 over Das.
"We started well in doubles and we were really pumped," Miller said "We were able to take that into singles, play really well, and stay focused and determined."
Crespo picked up a victory from the number one singles position, defeating Sidorenko 6-4, 7-5. Lazarevic was defeated by Placha, falling 6-3, 6-3, while senior Clarke Tatje (Eustis, Fla.) was the final Hatter to finish, dropping a 4-6, 7-5, 1-0 (6) match to Walters.
Stetson is back in action on Friday, Feb. 15 when the team plays host to Iowa State. The match is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
"Now we will practice diligently in preparation for a very good Iowa State team," Pilote said.
Match Notes: The Hatters have started the season 2-0 the last three seasons ... Stetson defeated Charleston Southern in its last meeting, winning 6-1 on Feb 12, 2011 in Troy, Ala. ... Charleston Southern was picked to finish second in the 2013 Big South Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll.

The forecast 2010 average yield is two tons higher than the final yield for 2009. Harvested acreage was up slightly from 2009.
At an estimated 11.9 million tons, Minnesota remains far and away the nation's largest producer of sugarbeets. North Dakota is currently estimated at 5.6 million tons this year, followed by Idaho at 5.15 million and Michigan at 3.9 million tons.
Four states — Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska and Oregon — were forecast to end up with less production this year versus 2009.
The next estimate of 2010 crop production will be released in January.
The November USDA report placed national sugarcane production (for both sugar and seed) at 29.4 million tons — which would be down by more than a million tons from 2009. Florida remains the leading cane producer, followed by Louisiana.

David Wojnarowicz, the late writer and visual artist whose contributions to AIDS activism and the East Village art scene of the 1980s continue to reverberate through the world of art and politics, visited Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center twice in his career.
One of those visits, an appearance as part of a literary series featuring Wojnarowicz and writer Gary Indiana in 1983, makes its way into Cynthia Carr's biography "Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz." Carr will follow in her subject's footsteps with an appearance at 7 tonight in Hallwalls (341 Delaware Ave.). Carr, a former Village Voice arts writer and columnist who knew Wojnarowicz, took on the full sweep of the artist's life in her biography – from his turbulent childhood in New Jersey and his life on the streets as a young adult to his time as an activist firebrand embraced by the left and decried by the right, and, finally his death from AIDS-related complications in 1992.
Carr's visit is co-presented by Hallwalls and New York City's Leslie Lohman Museum for Gay and Lesbian Art, of which University at Buffalo professor Jonathan Katz serves as president. Admission is $5 or $4 for Hallwalls members. Call 854-1694 or visit www.hallwalls.org.

The St. Francis Fountain, as we all know, has been operating on 24th street in San Francisco's Mission District for a very long time. The self-described "old-fashioned confectionery" says it opened in 1918, and claims to be the oldest operating ice cream counter the City. Its longstanding 1940's interior was renovated about ten years ago: a Formica soda-bar with red vinyl upholstered swivel stools, period clocks and neon, banquettes, a burgers-and-shakes menu, and a stern attitude about the proper use of an ice cream cone.
Last weekend I went to the St. Francis with a friend and visitor to the City who, to protect from scandal, we will call "V"; She is a petit, attractive woman of means, known in some quarters of the sports world. We were accompanied by a gay couple ("D" and "L", if you must know), and their two-year-old son to whom we will to not even pseudonymously refer due to his age and the delicate situation I will now describe.
We seated ourselves, all in a row, at the long Formica counter, manned (and yes, it was an all-male staff save one rather bewildered-looking lady scooper) by smartly-dressed young hipsters clothed in the lean styles and mustaches the 1960s. I ordered a single scoop of Mitchell's coconut ice cream in a cup. V. asked for a small vanilla cone. The lady-scooper, new-on-the-job, took our orders. D., and L. were served in turn, followed by their young son, who (fortunately, as you will note) opted for a dish rather than a cone.
Food can be taken quite seriously in San Francisco. The manager of the St. Francis rushed from the kitchen to confront V. You could hear him struggle to remain civil as he spoke. "Cones are not served at the counter." He cast an accusing look at the lady scooper (who had actually prepared the cone), and then at V. for entrapping the staff. "The cone," he recited, in a tone one might reserve for the Book of Matthew, "is by tradition a carrying device for take-out ice-cream." We were invited to consider these also-unthinkable analogies: "serving hamburgers at the tables in paper bags", "sodas in to-go cups", "a waiter bringing ketchup packets."
Our lady scooper had slunk away by now (no doubt to face more dire analogies later). The manager approached us, arms extended, in an apparent attempt to gain control of the cone. V. was unswayed: "I can have the scoop in a bowl, with the cone on top. Like a hat." As she spoke, she moved the cone close to her chest, then motioned — perhaps, batted — the manager away. She fixed her gaze on him. "I like the cone," she said. There would be no more discussion.
And so the bowl came, amid grumbled disclaimers from the manager. In went the ice cream cone, inverted, and so, partially defused. "This is a one-time event!" muttered the manager. He had lost control of the shop(pe), and he knew it. Helpness now, he addressed the female staffer: "If the owner were here, he would say the very same thing."
V., victorious, possessing both cone and bowl, surveyed the crowd. But her fellow diners seemed to side with the manager. There were murmurs and mutual glances among the crowd. V. turned her back on them, picked up the spoon, and ate.
The St. Francis Fountain's stock is in it's purity of tradition. It's a play that often employs a heavy dose of kitch. Schtick, even. The old-time appeal is an unsubtle respite from food innovation, and its relentless stress of choice.
Just one block away, a competing ice cream shop trades in exotic futures. The transgressive mecca for foodies is called Humphrey-Slocum, after the main characters in 1980's BBC television series "Are You Being Served?". The counter looks like that of a dry cleaner, as it may well have been recently. From a barren mini-storefront they serves up flavors like FlufferNutter, Thai chili lIme, "Jesus Juice," and, of course, several combinations of bacon. Each weeks' flavors shock anew on Twitter, Facebook, and, as we are in San Francisco, Google Plus. The food press lights up with regular commentary and adoration.
It's a stand-off on 24th Street. The Saint Francis staring down Slocum's "ice cream with attitude." Simple chocolate and strawberry against "Skull splitter," "Pink grapefruit tarragon," and "Strawberry Candied Jalapeño". The scooper is, say, a pink-haired man who favors Comme Des Garçons. Because it is an affront to transgressivism, "vanilla" at Humphey-Slocum is spelled as the neologized obscenity "v*nill@" so it can appear on the menu.
The prevailing factors for our recent choice of The St. Francis were ambiance and — literally and figuratively — vanilla. Being told what we can and can't do there achieved its goal, to underscore the traditional authenticity of the experience.
But inappropriateness of a sit-down cone appears to be the flip side of Humphrey-Slocum's drag show. The very first ice cream cones evolved in France from flat wafer-like waffles, similar to the modern Italian pizzelle, that were eventually side-rolled into a "cornucopia" to contain both savory and sweet foods. Food historians Robert J. Weir and (wife) Caroline Liddell, who have written several books around the history of ice cream, have produced the earliest documented use of the ice cream cone: circa 1807 at a fashionable café in Paris, back when Napoleon I was king of France. In the print the couple uncovered, a elegant woman (who looks rather similar to V.) is shown seated at a table licking an ice cream cone. There is no bowl or spoon in sight.

We have a primary election coming up in March and a general election in November. You, the voter, will determine what kind of government we will have at all levels. Those of you who aren't registered and those who are registered but can't be bothered to vote will leave the important issues to be decided by a small minority.
When you don't like what we get for government, you'll complain and point fingers at the elected officials. No, it's not them, it's you. You did it. You're responsible. This country has had the highest level of democracy the world has ever known. Have you done your part to maintain it or will you sit back and be part of the problems we have.
Shame on those who do not fulfill their obligation to those who have sacrificed so much during the course of our history. Voting is your obligation just as paying your taxes is. Maybe if we had the same penalty for not voting as we have for not paying taxes, our turnouts would be better.

I'd love Ryan O'Reilly...I think there are still hard feelings in Colorado from the start of this season. Especially given that next year we'll be playing Colorado a lot less, they should be a little more willing to deal with us.
Not that I think it will happen, but that would be amazing and it's somewhat realistic.
