Whether you want to save a bit on gas or to help the environment, learning how to drive "greener" can come in handy.
"The key to EcoDriving is that anyone can do it, in any vehicle, and best of all, it's easy," said Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
The alliance is a trade association of 11 car and light truck manufacturers, including the Big Three of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors, along with others such as BMW, Volkswagen and Toyota.
The alliance sponsored an effort to encourage more drivers to take simple steps to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce their carbon footprints.
The EcoDrive effort aims to produce the highest mileage from every one of the roughly 245 million vehicles, regardless of size or age, in the U.S.
The EcoDrive website includes tips for greener driving, along with a calculator that lets visitors figure out their carbon dioxide emissions and a virtual road test to try out their new-found knowledge.
"It's time that we all begin taking the steps necessary to reduce our carbon footprint," McCurdy said.
Driver versus car
You won't get any argument from Gil Portalatin, hybrid propulsion system applications manager for Ford. Portalatin believes that great mileage comes from not the car itself, but from the driver.
And becoming a "greener" driver isn't that hard, he said.
"I watch people drive and waste gas every day," Portalatin said. "Most drivers don't pay attention to the flow of traffic. If you're in traffic, you know you're going to stop again, so anticipate that stop by easing off the accelerator pedal early and coasting as much as you can."
He also advocates driving with the terrain and going for a smooth ride. Since it takes more energy to climb a hill than to roll down the other side, it's OK to lose a few miles per hour while driving up a hill. That lost speed can be regained by coasting down the other side, he said.
"Some drivers will be better off just driving with their cruise control," he said.
Smooth driving
Cruise control plays a big part in EcoDriving. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that using cruise control for 10,000 of the miles a typical motorist drives in a year could save nearly $200 and more than 60 gallons of fuel.
But EcoDriving doesn't stop there. Like Portalatin's smooth driving suggestion, keeping a constant pace and not speeding will end up saving in the long run. Not exceeding 60 mph can improve mileage by up to 23 percent, McCurdy said. Most cars get the most efficient mileage figures between 45 and 55 miles per hour. Any jump to 65 mph significantly reduces fuel efficiency, while a further jump to 75 mph over long periods can result in an expensive return to the pumps.
That steady speed can also pay off when it comes to the bane of all commuters: traffic lights. Since they are often synchronized so that a motorist driving at a specific speed will pass through a series of green lights without stopping, a steady speed will help drivers avoid being stuck at red lights.
Some newer hybrid models even come with modes that can help you obtain maximum fuel efficiency with minimum effort, according to AAA.
A couple of manufacturers have gone a step farther and integrated visual cues into their instrument panel displays that help teach motorists how to drive more efficiently.
In the Ford Fusion hybrid, a plant grows branches and leaves when the car is driven in a fuel efficient manner and withers as economy goes down. The 2010 Honda Insight hybrid has a speedometer display that varies in color from blue to green as efficiency increases; it also offers guidance on braking techniques.
Stuck in traffic
If you do find yourself stuck at a long stop light, Craig Howie of AOL Auto suggests simply turning off the engine.
As Howie notes, several police departments have started prohibiting their officers from idling patrol cars at traffic stops and crime scenes. Regular drivers can also save by switching off the engine at long lights, when waiting in heavy traffic or when waiting to pick someone up.
An even better tip from Howie involves a little more work and planning. He suggests lightening the load your vehicle is hauling and combining trips.
"Clearing all that junk out of your car -- in some cases heavy junk like golf clubs, car parts or kids' toys -- can result in significant savings," he said. "The EPA estimates that for every 100 pounds of weight your car carries, fuel efficiency dips by 2 percent."

Yea, they buggin. Sad. Sign of the times though.
Mr Prince
What's going on in your beloved Egypt? It look scary dude..The governmnet can't fold they have to stand tall and many people will die because of that. Reminds me of Tiananmen Square massacre when the Chinese ran over students with Tanks.
Internet and the mobile network have been shut down in the entire country. Scary
Yea, they buggin. Sad. Sign of the times though.
As some of you know I am a history teacher. I also studied Islamist movements (Radical Islam), while doing my master's in history.
In Egypt, it's a very precarious situation, because, although Mubarak is essentially a dictator, the Islamists (i.e., Islamic fundamentalists), who want to institute theocracies, in most countries where they exist, would be a worse democratic replacement.
An Islamic government in Egypt could result in the country becoming even more of a fertile ground for terrorists. In fact, the government itself could start to institute some of the policies, e.g., charging Jizya (a religious tax) to non-Muslims, currently pursued by terrorist groups like Jamaat Islamiya, Islamic Jihad (who assassinated the previous president), Takfir al-Hijra and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama, along with his cabinet, has to be very careful not to trade support for the devil we know, when the devil we don't know could be al-qaeda's buddies.
You have to look at this from a historical, not a prophectic, perspective. Egypt is the countriy of origin for many political Islamist groups and movements. Sayidd Qutb, the Egyptian Islamist thinker, can be said to be the father of modern Islamic radical movements.
Since the advent of his works, you have a variety of Islamist groups [in the country] that appeal primarily to impoverished young men, who have not, in spite of having completed multiple university degrees (in some case doctorates), found financial or personal success (i.e., marriage, which is requisite in many Islamic countries, including Egypt, in order for a man to have a female companion).
If you watch video of the protests, you will see an almost exclusively young, male demographic. This sort of demographic was largely involved in the overthrow of the Shah in Iran and the establishment of an Islamic state [in that country].
In fact, contrary to JW prophecy, regarding the downfall of support of religion, by world governments, that is supposed to precede Armageddon, the downfall of Mubarak will not bring an end to religion in Egypt. Rather, it will likely transform Egypt into an Islamic theocracy, like that of Saudi Arabia or Iran.
This is why Obama needs to support Mubarak. Otherwise, Egyptians will suffer under a regime that will make the country a hostile environment for moderate Muslims.
Typically, radicals appeal to religious pride, imagery of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the rightly-guided caliphs (the early leaders of the umma, the Islamic community), in order to gain power of movements that start off for more practical reasons (economic issues). They will tell these young men that an Islamic theocracy will provide peace and justice (economic and social).
There is a high likelihood they will coopt the unrest visible in this movement, because they are so well organized and have infiltrated numerous sectors of Egyptian society.
If you want to see how plugged-in Islamists are, read a bit about President Anwar Sadat's assassination. This man was the president of Egypt 30 years ago, prior to Mubarak's regime, and was assassinated by members of his own security detail, who were also affiliated with Egyptian Islamic Jihad (an Islamist group).
These groups have a lot of power in the country, which is why they have received slaps on the wrist for actions like assassinating foreign tourists, harrassing (for the Koranic religious minority tax), kidnapping (particularly Christian girls for forced marriage) and killing Egyptian Christians, etc.
An interesting story is JW's have been historically banned by Egypt (their buildings demolished and literature confiscated). This was started in the mid 60's, by the government, under advisement from Al-Azhar, the school for Muslim clergy and top religious authority, in the country. JWs aggressive spreading of its beliefs is likely why, since most Muslim countries do not allow conversion of Muslims and, in order to protect its members from conversion to Islam, the Coptic Church also prohibits the conversion of its members to Islam or any other faith.
This should illustrate how much political sway the Islamic religion has in most Muslim countries (several are moderate on application of Islam). Any time there is a revolution, you should suspect a strong, organized, "connected," Islamist political component.
The implications for the JW prediction that all religions, other than JWs' faith will fall, before the end, are huge, when one considers the power of political Islam.
We believe the UN is the image of the Beast, and the beast spoken of in revelations is the Anglo- American duel world power. The UN acts as it's unofficial mouth piece. And not only them, the other world powers.
The image rev makes is that the governments will grow wiery of religion, which they have, to the point where they decide the world is best off without it. The more radical religion becomes, the more we draw closer to that point. Make no mistake, they are becoming increasingly aggitated by it. And events like these in Egyp just make it more so.
I hope radical Islam, for Muslims' sake, fades away, as you believe it will, so that people can practice Islam as they see fit and not under the threat of the law. It is difficult to imagine, however. I guess we will have to wait and see.
i hate how were still taking to the streets even after the Mubarak announced he's leaving in Sept. its already a win for us. we got what we wanted nows he's just bridging the transition. He's going to be working on fixing parliament and changing the constitution so that way a president cant hold power for 30 years at a time. Change is coming and anyone pushing for is ouster right now is stupid.
Just so you guys know i've spoken to family over there and they tell me the country isnt like its made out to be, once Mubarak announced he's not running for reelection most of the country is back to work and all. its only small amounts around the country scattered here and there. Mainly Tahrir Square that has all the demonstrations but then again those are the unemployed people and those with nothing to do. but i do agree this needs to stop we need normalcy to kick in again.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
It really inspiring to see people work together and help each other like that. Someone once told: "It's always in the worse situation that our best side manifest." This whole video reminded me of that. I got nothing but love for Egyptians and what they're doing for their country.
God bless everyone in the world today...not just Egypt.
Once people can realize that presidents do not make change in the world, and that nationalities don't matter...being a citizen is just a fail in itself, and its hidden code in being a slave to a flag.
We're CIVILIANS of the earth...I'm saying that simply because its a complex thing to understand for those people conformed into their countries flag.
i love what i have been seeing for the past 13 days, aside from the 2 that were bought up with violence; but generally speaking it was amazing to watch seeing pictures of Coptic christians shielding the muslims as the prayed and vice-versa. we've shown unity and the will required to show a country that together in one loud voice all said "enough". its a dawn of a new day in egpyt the best is yet to come for the country.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I hope the Muslim Brotherhood gets a prominent part in the next government. The lads deserve it after all the injustices done to them. Mubarak is done and not even Obama could save his cheating arse. Heck not even their best allies the Israelis can now. The brotherhood is the next obvious step.

Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club â South Course
Coto de Caza, California
August 15, 2004
Sixteen players qualify for event
COTO DE CAZA, Calif. â As dusk fell over Southern California, Taylor Hakes, 17, of Coronado, Calif., lit up the scoreboard by firing a 4-under-par 68, earning medalist honors at the Family Toyota/Family Honda Junior Qualifier presented by Cox Media. In the Girls Division, Justine Chen, 14, of Lake Forest, Calif., carded a 6-over-par 78 to claim first place.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Family Toyota/Family Honda Junior Qualifier presented by Cox Media was held at the South Course at the Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club. Ninety-seven players, all but one of whom resides in California, competed for a total of 16 spots (13 boys and 3 girls) in this weekâs tournament.
Hakes, who began his round on No. 11, started his round on fire by recording three birdies on his first six holes. Hakes finished the back-nine with four total birdies en-route to shooting 32. A 36 on the front-nine was enough to leave him two shots clear of the field.
âI was making almost every putt I looked at,â Hakes said. âI just want to play as well as I did today in the tournament. My goal is to finish in the top five.â
Also qualifying in the Boys Division were California natives Bryce Holloway of Bakersfield, Christopher Lee of Los Angeles, Austin Graham of San Clemente, Michael Bench of La Habra, Blake Shinoda of Santa Ana, Anoop Shah of Tarzana, Kenny Roberts of Seal Beach, Lawrence Hsu of West Covina, Michael Blodgett of San Luis Obispo, Peter Singh of Hollister, Connor Alan-Lee of Solana Beach, Narmon West of Los Alamitos and Michael Drake of Riverside.
Ronnald Monaco of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., Lawrence Hsu of West Covina, Calif., and Jeffrey Kang of Los Angeles elected to add one Tournament Exemption to their Performance Based Entry status in lieu of playing in this weekâs event.
In the Girls Division, Chenâs consistent play was enough for her to earn a spot in what will be her first AJGA tournament. The high school freshman-to-beâs 78 was two shots better than the rest of the girls field.
âI was able to hit a lot of greens but I didnât make many putts,â Chen said.
Also qualifying in the Girls Division were Madeline Fletcher-Uranga of Los Alamitos, Calif., and Natalie Draganza of Costa Mesa, Calif.

For Real Bill,' exercise is lifeStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Retired farmer Bill Kathan Jr. of Brattleboro does backhanded pushups Tuesday outside Montpelier High School. He claimed the 661 he did in 15 minutes is a new world record.
MONTPELIER Pulling into the parking lot at Montpelier High School, there is little doubt which vehicle belongs to Bill Kathan Jr. of Brattleboro.
The van adorned with Real Bill and World Exercise Champion is the giveaway.
Kathan, 62, may be trying to hold a record for breaking records. He has a Guinness World Record certificate from 2006 for the most two-fingered pushups within a minute and has appeared on Ripleys Believe it or Not for his achievement of walking backward from Connecticut to Oregon. He has also been featured on ESPN and CNN.
For the record: Its safe to say Kathan lives his life a little differently.
Kathan said he has made it his mission to break as many world records as possible. He claims to have broken 101 records and set 41 first-time ones. Kathan documents all his record-breaking attempts on video.
He said most of his records dont appear in Guinness because of what the organization requires for proof.
The criteria for the Guinness Book is they have to send out for it and they give you a bunch of papers saying you have to have this and that and were the ones that make the (decision) whether youre in or out, Kathan said.
He said he gets the information about world records and what he needs to accomplish to break them from a variety of sources, including Guinness World Records, Ripleys Believe it or Not and recordsetter.com, as well as by browsing online.
As far as the challenges that the Brattleboro man believes he is the first to attempt, he said he browses the Internet to verify whether anyone has done them. However, he acknowledged he cant guarantee nobody has ever attempted any of his feats.
Tuesday at Montpelier High School, Kathan said, he set two records. First, he balanced a baseball bat on his finger while walking backward for a mile around the schools track something Kathan claims no one else has ever completed. He finished in just under 15 minutes.
Later in the day, Kathan claimed to have set the record for the number of backhanded pushups completed in 15 minutes 661. He said the previous record was 627.
Kathan said one of his other achievements is walking more than 16 miles (forward this time) while balancing a baseball bat on his finger. That took him 4 hours and 15 minutes.
He said he keeps pursuing records as an inspiration to todays device-oriented youth.
I like working with kids, Kathan said.
A group of young people watched as he did his backhanded pushups Tuesday.
Kathan said he started doing competitive exercise when he was in his 50s. He said its a hobby for him, but he accepts donations.
Before getting into exercise, Kathan was a farmer, working in dairy, as well as picking strawberries and apples. He said that when he was 22 he got into boxing but had to give it up after an injury.
Kathan said he has always been coordinated and athletic.
I had it all naturally, he said. Id flip nickels up and down in the air and catch them in my hand. I do a lot of dancing, and that gets me into shape.
He said he also plays Frisbee often, which helps with the finger coordination necessary for activities like two-fingered pushups.
In addition, Kathan has a regimen of daily exercises to stay in shape, including jumping rope, pushups and walking.
Kathan said one thing that has changed since he started trying to break records is that he is no longer the self-proclaimed world exercise champion.
Ive got it patented from New Hampshire and Vermont, he said. They know about it, I paid my dues for it, and its not self-proclaimed anywhere. I am now the world exercise champion.
Kathan likes to travel around to do his events and said he has been everywhere from the Grand Canyon to Florida, Hollywood and Tennessee. When hes in Vermont, he lives out of his van in Brattleboro, he said. His record-breaking attempts have generated several newspaper articles and interviews.
Everything Kathan does, he said, comes back to working with young people. He said he wants to be a mentor to the next generation.
Thats what keeps me going. Thats what keeps me doing all these records, because I can work with these kids and try and help them become good kids.
At the end of Tuesdays interview at the school, Kathan concluded in his news-announcer style, So thats the way it is, folks. Im real Bill. So long and thank you.

Sheriff Carlos Carrizales said Tuesday that deputies had been sent to the relative's home at the ranch on Wofford Lane as part of their investigation into the Sept. 26 killing of the rancher/businessman.
"During a follow-up investigation into the Sept. 26 death of Brien Hickman, investigators went to the residence of Mike Stuart to gather additional details," Carrizales said in a brief, official statement.
"While at the scene, investigators heard a gunshot from behind the residence. It was found that Stuart had taken his own life."
Carrizales said, shortly after the incident Tuesday, that an investigation was still ongoing and that he could not comment further.
A family friend confirmed that Stuart was married to Hickman's sister and he lived in a house on the ranch property near the residence where Hickman lived.
Carrizales is expected to release more information later. No arrests have been made in connection with Hickman's death.
Two rewards were recently announced seeking information on this killing.
Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward and at least one private individual also has offered a $5,000 reward for information that could lead to the arrest of a suspect.
Hickman, a local rancher, businessman and lifelong Beeville resident, was shot and killed early in the day of Sept. 26, apparently as he was leaving his ranch on Wofford Lane east of the U.S. Highway 181 Bypass.
Family friends said Hickman was found lying on the ground outside his vehicle bleeding from a single gunshot wound to the head.
Authorities who had been at the scene said there was no gun near the victim, suggesting that it was not a self-inflicted gunshot.
Hickman had been working at the Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance operation at the Chase Field Industrial and Airport Complex and was one of the employees who was losing his job there because of the facility's closing. But family friends said he had found another job.

From six-man high school football all the way to the National Football League, it's covered in depth in what many call the yearly "Bible" of football, a quasi-religion in Texas.
Most fans look to see where their high school teams are ranked or where they are expected to finish in the district races this year. Hopes for a good season and a playoff contender abound with the ultimate goal being a state championship.
Every district in the state is analyzed to come up with a rational explanation of the playoff races yet to come. Truth be known, Campbell and his staff are pretty accurate, most of the time. But, the prognosticators always have an out, as on even given Friday night, the spirit, the emotion, the injuries and the coaching expertise and mistakes come to the surface and produce upset after upset.
We'll start with the Trojans in their new District 15-4A DI. The Beeville boys now have a full year under head coach Jimmie Mitchell, who brought in new systems on offense and defense last year. The Trojans move down in classification and expect to be far more of a contender than in last year's district race.
The Trojans are picked fifth in a six-team race. In the new district, the La Vernia Bears, a region finalist last year, are the favorites with the Gonzales Apaches expected to capture second place, followed by the Pleasanton Eagles, Rockport-Fulton Pirates, Beeville and then Robstown.
Remember, four teams will make the playoffs in each 4A district. The Trojans are coming off their worst season in recent history at 0-10 but have all except one player returning on both offense and defense. With a year in the weight room and a year under Mitchell's system, the Trojans look to rebound and surprise a few teams this year.
A team could possibly make the playoffs with just two wins. Look for the Trojans to contend for that third or fourth spot on the strength of an upset or two late in the season.
The Skidmore-Tynan Bobcats are also looking to rebound from an 0-10 record from last year under second-year head coach John Livas. The Bobcats will be in District 15-3A DII this year, and it suits the 'Cats a little better than last year's configuration. Refugio is gone, and the district's size is cut back to a six-team race.
The young Bobcats from a year ago will have all starters back on both sides of the ball this year. The gain in experience alone will up the performance level of the Bobcats.
S-T is chosen last in the district race with Odem cashing in with the top pick by Campbell followed by the Taft Greyhounds, Banquete Bulldogs, Santa Gertrudis Academy Lions and Bloomington Bobcats in fifth, just ahead of the S-T boys.
The magazine leans heavily on past performances for future predictions. As with the Trojans, a full year of playing time under their new coach should pay dividends this fall for the 'Cats.
S-T could come up with two or three wins in district, and if they get on a roll early and gain confidence, they could be right in the thick of the district race.
The Pettus Eagles are also in a new-look district. The North Bee County boys will slug it out in District 16-2A DII, a five-team district.
Campbell and his soothsayers have the Woodsboro Eagles on top of the district race with the Falls City Beavers moving to another district and out of the way. The Bruni Badgers are expected to gnaw their way into second place with the Pettus boys under first-year head coach Jeff Doege capturing third and a playoff spot. The Agua Dulce Longhorns follow, and Benavides Eagles are predicated to finish last in the district race.
Bruni and Odem finished the season last year with just two losses and will be tough again this year. Both teams have a fair number of starters returning and should be tough to handle. The Pettus boys were 4-6 last year with a very young team. A slightly new system under coach Doege could slow things a little, but that's what the non-district schedule is supposed to fix.
Enjoy the almost never-ending Texas football season.


text: Are you kidding me???!!! This organization needs to be burned down NOW!!! Thomas is horrible and his coaching skills are just as worse. The players he has, excpet ofr a small few, do not want to be coached by anybody!!! You have a Hall of fame coach who tells it like it is. If those poor spoiled millionaires do not like it thne chuck them!!! Getting rid of Brown is no where near a solution and is one of the worst and will go down as one of the worst moves in franchise history!!!

The Illinois House honored the TOPSoccer organization for their work towards enriching the lives of special needs children from across the area.
The resolution, introduced by state Rep. David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills), "praised the group's efforts to help young athletes with disabilities to learn and play the game of soccer," according to a news release from the State House Republican leadership office.
"This is a wonderful organization driven by a passion to bring joy to children with disabilities and provide them an opportunity to compete," McSweeney said. "They are a tremendous asset to our community; one that deserves recognition."
The Cary-based organization offers a no cost program open to any child aged five and up with a cognitive or physical disability. While they are a volunteer-driven organization, trained coaching staff is provided to the children to help them develop their soccer skills.
The resolution, HR 382, was filed by McSweeney during the last week of the spring legislative session was adopted by the Illinois House. TOPSoccer's Program Coordinator, Lynne O'Malley, coaching staff and players were presented an official copy of the resolution by McSweeney at Kaper Park.

What is in this article?:
- Top 10 keys to profitable peanuts
- Plant competition
• Both twin rows and planting date have changed over the years in an effort to battle the threat of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and they continue to evolve with the introduction of genetically improved peanut cultivars.
Organizers of the Farm Press Peanut Profitability Award have reviewed production data from previous winners to arrive at a "Top 10 Keys to Peanut Profitability." This list of successful production practices is being presented in descending order with sponsorship provided by DuPont Crop Protection. The Peanut Profitability Awards, based on production efficiency in whole-farm situations, is entering its 13th year and is administered by Marshall Lamb, research director for the National Peanut Research Laboratory, and his staff.
Coming in at No. 10 and 9 in the "Top 10 Keys to Peanut Profitability" are two production practices that are closely related — twin rows and planting date.
Both of these practices have changed over the years in an effort to battle the threat of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and they continue to evolve with the introduction of genetically improved peanut cultivars.
No. 10: Twin rows
"We still think that the twin-row pattern overall, in multiple years with multiple trials, still works the best, and our new cultivars are still responding positively just as our older varieties did," says John Beasley, University of Georgia Extension peanut agronomist.
"We have been looking at 30-inch single rows, since we have growers who are planting corn in that pattern, and we have found that 30-inch rows will work, but the trick is getting them dug properly," he says.
"The biggest trick there is that you end up with 2,900 extra linear feet per acre, which at six seed per foot or row, is going to increase your pounds per acre planted. If you're planting 36-inch singles, you need to back up your seeding rate from six seed per foot to five seed per foot."
Seeding rates continue to be tweaked, says Beasley, because new cultivars come out that grow differently and have different yield potential.
"We've tested the seeding rates for these new large-seeded cultivars, and on a single-row pattern, we've seen where we can back down to five seed per foot of row and save costs without sacrificing yield.
"So when we get one answer, then we have to go back to the drawing board. We have to evaluate all of these new cultivars on factors such as twin versus single rows, conventional versus reduced tillage, different planting dates and populations, and calcium requirements, to name just a few."
Row pattern is an important consideration in deciding the seeding rate, says Scott Tubbs, University of Georgia cropping systems agronomist.
"For single-row peanuts, you're planting a seed at 12 inches or 1 foot of row. You've got six seed per foot being planted — that's a seed every 2 inches from an adjacent seed being planted. In a twin-row pattern, we're taking out half of those seed and moving them over to an adjacent row.
"Looking at data from 2011 trials, 85 percent of our twin-row peanuts had survived by the end of the season. Seventy-three percent of the peanut seed in single rows survived. We used the same seeding rate and the same management," he says.

NFL Divisional Playoffs: A closer look
Seahawks, Broncos hosting Saints, Chargers
The other divisional games feature the Indianapolis Colts at New England in the AFC and the San Francisco 49ers at Carolina in the NFC.
The next round begins Saturday when the Saints visit Seattle's infamous din of inequity with a 4:35 p.m. ET kickoff followed by the Colts at the Patriots at 8:15 p.m. ET.
On Sunday, the NFC defending champion 49ers are at Carolina with a 1:05 p.m. ET kickoff, then the Chargers visit the Mile High Broncos for a 1:40 p.m. game.
These matchups were set this weekend beginning Saturday when the Colts staged a ridiculous comeback to eliminate the Kansas City Chiefs, 45-44, and the Saints stopped the Philadelphia Eagles, 26-24. On Sunday, the Chargers handled the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-10, and the 49ers managed a 23-20 win in Green Bay on a last-play field goal.
Here is a close look at next weekend's games:
4:35 p.m. ET
The Seahawks routed the Saints, 34-7, on "Monday Night Football" in Seattle on Dec. 7.
Seattle enters as the No. 1 seed in the NFC after going 13-3 during the regular season. The victory over the Saints was kick-started by an interception return for a touchdown by defensive lineman Michael Bennett, which led to CenturyLink Field re-setting a Guinness record for loudest crowd noise ever recorded in an outdoor stadium.
"It's loud, it's crazy, they've got a good thing going there," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said of the Seahawks after New Orleans won at Philadelphia on Saturday night to advance. "Obviously, they've only lost one game there in the last two years. But having been there less than a month ago, I think that serves us well, what to expect, how to prepare for it.
"But we're going to need our best game, that's for sure."
The Saints went 3-5 on the road during the regular season and must win three consecutive road games to reach the Super Bowl, but notched a victory on the first leg against the Eagles.
Seattle is coming off a bye week, has lost one home game in the past two seasons and enters with the league's top-ranked defense.
"Obviously, we did not play our best football that night," Brees said of the Dec. 2 loss to Seattle. "We got beat pretty soundly by those guys. There's a reason they're the one seed"
This is a chance at postseason redemption for the Saints, who were on the wrong side of a 41-36 playoff meeting at Seattle in January 2011. But the Seahawks present a number of challenges for Brees, including a secondary with three All-Pros -- cornerback Richard Sherman and safeties Cam Chancellor and Earl Thomas.
The rested Seahawks lost two of their final four games but clinched the top seed in the NFC by dominating the St. Louis Rams 27-9 in Week 17 to claim the NFC West title.
8:15 p.m. ET
The Colts (12-5) visit the Patriots (12-4) with Indianapolis coming off a dramatic 45-44 wild-card victory at home against the Kansas City Chiefs engineered by second-year quarterback Andrew Luck
"There's no question he's a complete football player and one of the top quarterbacks in this league already," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick. "He has a great career in front of him but I think he's already established himself as a very poised and talented player that can do a lot of things to beat you and he manages his team well and plays good situational football."
The Patriots had a first-round bye for the fourth consecutive season as the No. 2 seed in the conference after winning the AFC East for the 11th straight year. The Patriots have won five of their past six games.
Indianapolis held a weight-room workout with 100 percent attendance on Sunday despite a game that played out like a 12-round heavyweight fight against the Chiefs. The Colts mounted the second-largest playoff comeback in the NFL history, rallying from a 35-10 hole in the third quarter to upend the Chiefs.
Answering the bell in Foxborough, Mass., is not a worry according to Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, but it is uncharted territory for the upstart AFC South champions. The confidence comes from a season of comebacks and two years of dealing with less-than-ideal conditions.
Still, the Colts will enter banged up, with cornerback Greg Toler and safety LaRon Landry among those whose status could be uncertain up until game time.
The last playoff meeting between the teams was in the 2006 AFC Championship Game. True to modern form, the Colts won the game, 38-34, overcoming an 18-point deficit.
The Colts reached the playoffs in 2012 but lost in the wild-card round to Super Bowl champion Baltimore. Pagano said the team was focused not to go home early.
1:05 p.m. ET
The NFC South champion Carolina Panthers join the postseason party next weekend by playing host to the San Francisco 49ers, who escaped a wild card war in Green Bay with a final-play field goal, 23-20.
This is a rematch of a Nov. 10 game in San Francisco when the Panthers gained serious attention by coming back from a 9-0 deficit to beat the reigning NFC champs, 10-9.
Although it was an ugly game, it was a statement that the Panthers needed as they had been 2-14 in their previous 16 games decided by a touchdown or less. Since that win, Carolina is 5-0 in close games.
The more veteran 49ers now come into this divisional battle on the heels of winning two consecutive games with a field goal on the last play, also winning at Arizona to close out the regular season on a game-winning kick by Phil Dawson.
These two teams are somewhat of a mirror image. On offense they each have athletic quarterbacks who can run or pass, Carolina with the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft in Cam Newton and San Francisco with Colin Kaepernick, the No. 36 player selected in the same draft.
On defense each team has great linebackers led by second-year phenomenon Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis for the Panthers, while the 49ers have Navarro Bowman, Patrick Willis and Aldon Smith.
After their regular-season game, Newton acknowledged the importance of that win at that time.
"This game is a maturity jump for us, because in the past what I've been a part of, we've been somewhat uncertain of how we will turn out in these types of games," Newton said. "We needed that type of game, just to be in a dog fight, in somewhat of a barnburner, to show what type of team this really is."
One of the big early keys will be how Newton performs out of the gate in his first career playoff game.
"This is going to be a new venture for me, and I'm going to try to make the most of it," Newton said during the team's bye week. "We have to worry about ourselves first. I feel as if when we're playing at our best, there's really no team that can stop us."
4:40 p.m. ET
Denver (13-3) is the top seed in the AFC, but the West division rivals split the regular-season matchups, including the Chargers' 27-20 victory at Mile High.
The Chargers and Broncos are original members of the American Football League from its 1960 startup. This will be the first time the two teams have met in the postseason when they kick off at 4:40 p.m. ET at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium.
"We know them, they know us, personnel-wise," said Chargers safety Eric Weddle. "It's going to be a great game and great battle. We held them to 28 and 20 points in both games. You never know. It could be a shootout, or it could be a low-scoring game. That's the great thing about the playoffs."
The Broncos set an NFL record with 606 points during the regular season and quarterback Peyton Manning passed for 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns, both single-season league records.
During the two-week break, coach John Fox and the Broncos received good news -- wide receiver Wes Welker was cleared after missing the final three games of the regular season with a concussion, including the second San Diego game -- but Denver could be forgiven if it was less than excited about drawing the Chargers again.
It's not just that the Broncos lost at home to them earlier this month; it's that they have lost six of their past eight games to the Chargers in Denver.
Moreover, San Diego is 2-0 against Manning in the playoffs -- both when he was with the Indianapolis Colts. Manning has eight one-and-done postseason appearances. That includes a 38-35 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens at home to end last season.

An impassioned and chaotic debate over the Upper Delaware Council's (UDC) draft five-year plan consumed the bulk of the organization's monthly meeting on September 6.
Despite a series of hard-to-follow motions and amendments, final language was agreed on that changed "protect and respect private property rights and land use," as the UDC's primary goal identified at an earlier workshop criticized for poor attendance and a disorganized voting process, to "Protect the unique scenic, cultural and natural resource values of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and its immediate environs while protecting private property rights." (See editorial on page 6 for more).
In a letter to the council, National Park Service Superintendent Sean McGuinness specified that "The key is understanding that the council must protect the river and its immediate environs as priority; and then through adequate zoning private property rights will be protected." During the meeting, McGuinness read a list of actions that could be considered to protect private property rights, including substantial conformance reviews for all towns, zoning that agrees with the land and water use guidelines of the River Management Plan, mapping of the river corridor boundary and more.
Following approval of the final language of its primary goal, the UDC voted to adopt the plan as a whole.
Council members also learned that the UDC has been "politely uninvited" from joining the steering committee of the recently formed Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed (CDRW), which is composed of regional, state, local and national non-governmental organizations seeking improved Delaware River watershed policy and protection.
Following debate about the opportunity at its monthly meeting in August, the council had authorized UDC executive director Laurie Ramie to participate in conference calls as an observer for a trial period of six months.
Ramie updated the UDC on the outcome of CDRW's August call. "The determination was made that CDRW is comprised of 501(c)3 non-profit organizations, which we are, but we also have the quasi-governmental membership in which the municipalities are the members," said Ramie. "They specifically do not want the influence of government or industry on this coalition.
Since the UDC essentially derives its policies and procedures from its municipal authorities and has state and federal representation, we are not eligible for steering committee membership."
In other matters, a resolution of appreciation was presented to senior resource specialist David B. Soete, who began employment at UDC on October 1, 1989, and completed 23 years of service. Soete will retire on September 30.
In addition to providing primary technical support on land and resource management issues, coordinating technical reviews, serving as in-house webmaster and more, Soete was recognized for "his multiple award-winning talents as a photographer who specializes in capturing and generously sharing beautiful images of the Upper Delaware River Valley and beyond." The resolution concludes with appreciation for Soete's
professional contributions and personal dedication to the mission of conserving the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River for the benefit of present and future generations.
The UDC meets at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month at 211 Bridge St. in Narrowsburg, NY. The public is welcome. For more information visit www.upperdelawarecouncil.org [1] or call 845/252-3022.

Minnesota topples Illinois 84-67
Joe Coleman scored 29 points and Andre Hollins added 22 to help No. 8 Minnesota top No. 12 Illinois Wednesday 84-67 and remain undefeated in the Big Ten.
The Gophers (15-1, 3-0 Big Ten) held off a charge by the 12th-ranked Illini midway through the second half.
Joseph Bertrand pulled Illinois within at 44-42 on a short jumper with 12:37 left.
But the physical matchup took its toll on the Illini (14-3, 1-2). And as Illinois piled up fouls, Trevor Mbakwe connected on layup with 6:15 to play for a 62-49 lead that Illinois couldn't overcome.
Mbakwe added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Brandon Paul led Illinois with 21 points.

Voters shot down the bond sale by a vote of 398 to 184 Saturday, letting the city know they had no intention of seeing their taxes raised in order to drill two wells and build a reverse osmosis plant at the city's water storage facility on West Cleveland Street.
Voters also elected attorney George P. "Trace" Morrill to represent them in Ward 1 on the council and returned certified public accountant Florette "Libby" Spires to the Ward 5 post she has held for years.
Morrill beat his opponent, former councilman Randy Forbes, by 34 votes, 77 to 43, and Spires defeated correctional officer Christopher Payne by 39 votes, 104 to 65.
City Manager Ballí lamented the fact that fewer than 600 city residents decided the fate of the water bond issue.
"I'm sure that the council and I will sit down at some time and come up with a plan," Ballí said of the city's mounting water problem.
City Secretary Barbara Treviño reminded residents that the vote totals are still unofficial and will not become final until the City Council canvasses the results and approves the report at its May 21 meeting.
Ballí said the fact that the council was asking for $15.3 million in bond sales did not mean the council planned to spend that entire amount.
Some of those who opposed the plan apparently did not like the fact that property taxes could have risen by more than $16 a month for a $75,000 home.
Ballí said the city had several options available that could have reduced the financial hit to property owners. She said the council never intended for the entire project to be paid for with property taxes because many of the customers who would benefit from the project live outside the city.
The plan was for the city staff to seek federal and state grants, if some could be found, and to raise more funds with water rate increases.
The fact remains that Beeville could see its raw water intake structure near Swinney Switch high enough out of the Nueces River that it will no longer be able to pump water out of that location.
That surface water is the city's only source of municipal water at this time.
The plan called for building a $12.3 million well system that would have taken water from the deep but salty Jasper aquifer. Other water would have been pumped from a shallower well drilled into the Evangeline (Goliad) aquifer.
Water from the Jasper aquifer would then be filtered through a reverse osmosis plant to remove the solids and chlorides and then blended with untreated water from that well to add minerals for taste.
Evangeline water contains fewer suspended solids and chlorides than the Jasper water, but it would have to be treated for iron and other minerals before being blended with the city's other water supplies.
As the votes were counted at City Hall Saturday evening, Mayor Santiago "Jimbo" Martinez said he had been giving serious consideration to a less expensive solution proposed by Beeville Water Supply District Board President Jim Crumrine and geologist Kenneth Newbury.
That plan would involve drilling three wells into the Evangeline aquifer, one well into the Jasper and building a smaller RO plant.
"What this vote did was say no to our financing," Ballí said.
Whatever the solution will be, Ballí said it will have to provide 3.2 million gallons of water a day that the city uses currently. In fact, during times of peak demand, the city uses 5.2 mgd.
Ballí said one alternative will be for the city to go to the open market to borrow funds. The water problem is not going away and if the Coastal Bend does not receive appreciable rain in the next two years the city could be out of water.
"I'm not sure there will be any grants," Ballí cautioned. The Texas Legislature recently shot down one attempt to release some of the state's rainy day fund money to help fund municipal water projects.
"Whatever the answer is, it's going to have to be paid for somehow," Ballí said.
An offer by the Bee Development Authority to sell the city well water at $0.62 per 1,000 gallons is not an option, Ballí said. The BDA wants $1.5 million up front to rehabilitate the single well at the Chase Field Industrial and Airport Complex. That would only be able to provide 1 mgd.
"There's no water conservation plan that could be used that would allow the city to get by on 1 mgd," Ballí said. "Any solution that we can find will have to provide 3.2 mgd."
Signs posted around the city in opposition of the water bond issue hinted that there was a cheaper and better proposal for the city.
"If that's the case, now would be a good time to come forward with it," Ballí said.
The failure of the bond sale puts the city right back at "square one," Ballí said.
Hopefully, higher assessed values for property within the city will help bring in some additional tax money.
"We haven't raised our tax rates in years," Ballí said. The last tax increase was passed by the council to meet increased costs of treating the surface water from Lake Corpus Christi.
"We always try to live within our means," Ballí said. "It's not like the city has gone out for financing on very many things."
In fact, Ballí said, the city has little outstanding debt.
The city is paying debt service on only three issues at present and some of those will be paid off in the next few years.
Part of the $15.3 million in bonds would have been sold to finance improvements to the city's wastewater treatment plant.
Those improvements will still have to be made.
"You've got to trust the people that you elect to make the decisions, to do what's right," Ballí said. Apparently the voters did not have that trust Saturday.
The two council members who will take their oaths of office next Tuesday had little to say about the problem facing the council.
Morrill said he is "humbled by the opportunity to represent this community." And he is excited to join the mayor and council members in solving the water, wastewater and infrastructure issues facing the council.
Spires said she is interested in finding alternative methods of financing water and wastewater improvements after the failure of the bond election.
She also wants to see the council set some term limits for the City Council and all its boards and commissions.

All About Yeast Breads
Secrets For Yeast Breads
Although the techniques for making yeast breads are simple, a few secrets will ensure that even your first efforts will be attractive and great-tasting.
What to do if:
- You forget to add the yeast. Dissolve it in a small amount of warm liquid and work it into the dough.
- The dough doesn't rise. The yeast may have been old, or the liquid may have been too hot or too cold, or you may have added too much salt. Try placing the dough in a warmer spot or waiting longer to give it more time to rise.
- The dough rises too quickly. Punch down the dough and let it rise again. If it rises before you're ready to bake it, move the dough to a cooler spot to slow down the action of the yeast.
Use aluminum pans. They give breads and rolls well-browned crusts. Uncoated aluminum pans give the most even browning and uniform results. Dark metal pans and glass pans absorb more heat and will produce a darker crust.
Grease the pan(s) as directed in the recipe.
To make dough a day ahead, cover and refrigerate it up to 24 hours if desired. The dough is ready to bake when it has doubled in size. If it has not doubled in size in the refrigerator, let it stand at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or until it has doubled.
Create a variety of crusts:
- For a crisp crust, gently brush the bread dough with water before baking it.
- For a hard crust, place a pan of water in the bottom of the oven.
- For a shiny crust, beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it gently on the bread before baking. Sprinkle the bread with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
- For a soft, tender crust, gently brush the bread with milk or melted butter just after baking.
Remove the bread from the pan immediately after baking it. Cool the bread on a wire rack to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Cool breads away from drafts. This will help prevent the bread from shrinking and the crust from cracking.
Cool breads before slicing them. Slicing a too-warm loaf or coffee cake will cause crumbling and tearing.
Cut breads with a serrated knife or electric knife. Use a back-and-forth sawing motion rather than pressing straight down.

Since the Healing Touch [4] program is relatively new, research on Healing Touch is still in its early stages. As of August 2008, there were 115 completed research studies on Healing Touch.
Both professional organizations, Healing Touch International [5] and the Healing Touch Program [6], carry out active research programs. Their websites contain completed research projects and research in process. Research in other energy-based therapies like therapeutic touch [7] have also increased understanding of some energy therapies in the areas of pain relief [1], anxiety [8], enhancing immune function, and accelerating wound healing.
Researching Healing Touch is challenging since the exact mechanism of action cannot be seen or easily explained.
In addition, researchers have often found it difficult to measure the effects of Healing Touch and to determine whether outcomes can be attributed solely to the Healing Touch techniques or to other factors. It is commonly assumed that the mere presence of the Healing Touch practitioner may have an affect on client outcomes.

Roy's 3 goals lift Northeastern past BU in BeanpotThe Associated Press | February 05,2013BOSTON Kevin Roy scored three goals, and Northeastern opened the Beanpot tournament with a 3-2 victory over Boston University on Monday night.
Roy netted his second goal off a turnover in the second period and then batted home an attempted clearing pass late in the game that kicked off the 61st annual tournament.
Chris Rawlings made 32 saves for the Huskies (8-13-3), who will face the winner of Monday nights second game between Boston College and Harvard next Monday.
Danny ORegan and Sahir Gill scored for the Terriers. It is just the fourth time in 30 years that Boston University wont be playing in the tournaments title game.
The tournament pits the Boston areas four Division I hockey programs located just a few miles apart against each other annually on the first two Mondays in February.
Northeastern will be trying to claim its fifth Beanpot crown the fewest by far of the four schools and its first since 1988. The Huskies snapped a 15-game losing streak to Boston University in the Beanpot, dating to their last title.
Ive been a part of this tournament for a long time and heard all of the facts and figures on how Northeastern hasnt beaten Boston University for 15 years, Huskies coach Jim Madigan said. The facts and figures dont win hockey games. Its hard work.
Defending national champion Boston College has won the last three Beanpots. Boston University owns 29 titles, and Harvard has 10.
This is BUs first senior class since 1965 that wont capture at least one Beanpot title.
Its disappointing, senior captain Wade Megan said, fighting back tears. I feel bad for my teammates, classmates.
Roy, a freshman, certainly didnt look bothered by his schools past failures.
I knew BU had more wins, he said. Every year, teams change and you cant look back at the history of what happened.
With Northeastern clinging to a 2-1 lead, Roy, positioned to the right of the net, swatted in Matt Grzelcyks attempted clear from in front of the crease.
BU got within 3-2 on Gills goal with 71 seconds left. The Terriers pulled goalie Matt OConnor for most of the final minute, but were unable to get any scoring chances.
The Huskies, who came into the tournament having beaten all three teams this season, grabbed a 2-1 edge midway into the second period off a giveaway by BU center Ben Rosen.
OConnor left the crease and got to a loose puck to the right of the net. He fed a pass along the right boards to Rosen, who tried to center a pass to one of his defenseman in front of the uncovered net. But Roy skated in, dived, and tipped the puck into the empty net.
While trailing 2-1, BU had a 5-on-3 power play for 1 minute, 56 seconds, but failed to get many shots.
Seconds after killing off the power play, the Huskies were short-handed again when Josh Manson was whistled for boarding. Again, BU was forced to take long attempts from the outside.
The Huskies took a 1-0 lead 2:09 into the game when Roy banged in a rebound in front before the Terriers tied it on ORegans goal 3 1/2 minutes later.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla.

Low college-attainment rates are worrisome when, at 52 million, Latinos are the largest and fastest growing minority in the U.S.Latinos represent one in 4 Americans under the age 18, and one in five K-12 school children – many with parents who lack a high-school or college education.
In spite of their growing numbers among the U.S. population, only 21 Latinos out of 100 who start in elementary school ever graduate from college. Overall only 13 out of 100 Latinos have a 4-year college degree.

Officials and others express shock over Public Health Officer's Christian Right rants

First off, when "Dr. (of what?)" Eric Walsh reiterated all these "Christian Right" religious prejudices, he was not performing as Pasadena's Public Health Officer (or even anywhere near a public health venue), but as an SDA pundit. Two, whatever he said was not ILLEGAL, and Three, there really ain't that much difference between a "Christian" evangelist and an AMWAY sales person. In other words, they may or may not really believe the "conservative" BlueSchit they're advertising.
When birds of a feather flock together, they all make similar cooing noises, and WE ALL believe in something that somebody else thinks is stupid. At its foundation, this is NE journalism. Can you say manufactured (non)outrage?

State mini-COBRA law:
Pennsylvania Act 2 of 2009 (mini-COBRA) became effective on July 10, 2009. This act requires small groups with 2 – 19 employees to offer health care continuation coverage to qualified employees and dependents who lose their insurance as a result of a qualifying event.
Mini-COBRA applies to medical coverage and does not include stand alone dental and vision coverage.
Who is eligible for mini-COBRA?
An employee and/or dependent who:
- Was continuously covered under the group policy for three months prior to termination
- Lost coverage due to a "qualifying event" on or after July 10, 2009
- Is not covered or eligible for Medicare
- Is not eligible for employee based coverage as an eligible dependent
- Is not covered or eligible for other group coverage (excluding Medical Assistance, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
What is a qualifying event?
To be covered for mini-COBRA, the eligible employee or dependent must have suffered one of the following qualifying events which resulted in loss of health care coverage:
- Termination of employment for reasons other than gross misconduct
- Reduction of hours that result in loss of coverage
- Covered employee becomes eligible for Medicare (dependent requires group coverage)
- Divorce or legal action
- Child ages out of coverage
- Termination due to employer's bankruptcy proceedings
- Death of the covered employee

"Great series"
Nicely done. One book from the series easily rolls to the next but you could easily pick up in the middle too.
I love the biblical reference mixed in with a riveting story. Well done.
"Very moving!"
Good read or audio; gives insight, wisdom and guidance for a very widespread issue of our day. Good for teens to listen to for warning of the dangers concerning this issue.
"You leave me speechless"
With your awesome stories with such deep spiritual truths, that challenge, and help me see that I am not so badly off. Thank you Terri for the lovely series,many Cassandra for you beautiful rendition of the books. May God bless you with many hundred more stories and Cassandra as many hundred narrator opportunities you would like.
Love Christian music, listening to good clean books, directing/playing handbells, love family, quilting, and clean suspense books.
"Thank you, God, for this author."
Thank you, my Lord, for this Christian author. This was a great series. Looking forward to reading more of her books.
"Another Blackstock winner!"
The last in the Intevention series, this book is great. I did get a bit tired of Emily trying to do things her own way, especially after all the mistakes she has made. But, it's still a thriller. The ending was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend this series!
Avid reader and writer
"Terri's Up All Night Stories"
I am eclectic when it comes to reading, using printed books, MP3 audios and e-readers. I love all of Terri Blackstock's books, so I enjoy them in all mediums. I did not read this book in print, so can't compare it. What I can say is, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and the characters were real to me. That must mean Cassandra Campbell did a great job narrating!
The most memorable moment was when Emily remembered someone who had overheard their conversations and had a grudge against her, as well as others.
When Kent proposed to Barbara.
What do you do when everyone thinks you have fallen back into your old ways and even you can't explain what is happening?
The mother's attitude was very frustrating to me. Her fears seemed over the top and she wouldn't listen to Emily's denials. If I had been Emily, I would have been heartbroken that my own mother could turn on me so quickly. She never gave her the benefit of the doubt.
"Third in a series."
A good ending to this series but a little slow in getting the listeners attention.
No, I wouldn't listen to this series again but I did enjoy it.

He wont latch. He ALWAYS keeps his hands up in the way. He's always crying when we try to feed him. My wife is in tears. Shes ready to just go to formula. I'm trying to have her keep at it but he will not work with her.
I'm not sure he's getting a good latch. He seems to take only the nipple in. What can we do to help get a good latch (watched some videos) and what about his hands????
in the mean time the wife does pump so we can give him what she can.
shes frustrated!!
