Tales of tragedy, crime, and corruption have value for several reasons. One is that those that read them do not usually lead tragic, criminal, and corrupt lives, at least not the extent portrayed in such stories.Don't mistake: Their natures are corrupt.

Swiss drug giant Roche (RHHBY) and its U.S. biotech partner ImmunoGen (IMGN) announced Friday that the FDA approved their breast-cancer drug T-DM1, now branded Kadcyla.
Kadcyla was approved specifically for patients with metastatic breast cancer who'd previously been treated with Herceptin, the blockbuster also owned by Roche through its Genentech subsidiary. Genentech will market the drug in the U.S., while ImmunoGen, which developed the underlying technology, will get a $10.5 million milestone payment and future royalties. Both companies expressed optimism that the technology, which involves linking an antibody with a chemotherapy, can be used to develop more cancer drugs.
"We currently have more than 25 antibody-drug conjugates in our pipeline and hope this promising approach will help us deliver more medicines to fight other cancers in the future," Genentech's chief medical officer, Hal Barron, said in a press release .
Morningstar analyst Karen Andersen told IBD that the new drug should help counter the impact of biosimilars to Herceptin, which could arrive as early as 2015 in Europe and 2019 in the U.S. Andersen says Kadcyla, along with Roche's recently launched Perjeta, will help its breast-cancer franchise grow from an annual 6 billion Swiss francs ($6.44 billion) today to 9 billion in 2021.
After a halt in trading before the announcement, ImmunoGen's shares were up 5% in early trading, near 15. Roche's stock, which hit a lifetime high of 57.89 on Wednesday, was up a fraction.

Sunday lunch is one of those traditions that should be preserved and cherished. They bring back memories of childhood and family; being with those you love and sharing a meal together. For those times that you want to enjoy a great meal with family and friends, but without labouring away in the kitchen, Union Dining is there to give you a lazy Sunday lunch (or any meal) without the stress.
Union Dining opened in 2011 under chef Nicky Riemer (Melbourne Wine Room, Trunk, Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder) and front-of-house Adam Cash (Cutler & Co, Ezard). The room is unpretentious with pale walls, warm wood, high ceilings and large arches, with a few provincial touches like the hessian sacking around the hanging lights. This style carries through to the uncomplicated provincial European food and the passionate and confident staff (whose descriptions of the specials are addictively enthusiastic). The wine list is generous, with a strong selection from Australia and across Europe, and the list, and staff, guide you well.
The food makes the most of seasonal produce, and is fresh, clean and vibrant. For Sunday lunch they serve a la carte or a 'shared provincial experience' for the whole table, and my suggestion is to go with the chef's choice and let them take care of all the details; you won't be disappointed. The shared meal begins with a selection of appetisers, then a main and side, followed by dessert. It is worth noting that despite it being a shared meal, they will look after anyone with food allergies and provide them with their own serve where needed (as always advance notice is the best bet).
Not to discount the main meals, but I adore the appetisers every time I visit. They're the kind of simple yet delicious plates that you would happily eat all day, every day. Each of them a perfect journey of flavour and texture, where each component sings in harmony and becomes a celebration of the season. A salad of sweet prawn and fresh spring broad beans balances with the salty creaminess of ricotta and the crunch of crispy onions and seeds with a dusting of dukkah spice. Their panzanella has chunks of charred bread which slowly soak up the juices of the sweet tomatoes, with cucumber and parsley bringing a vibrant freshness, and the capers and buttermilk adding salty and acidic notes. Another dish has hunks of smoked ham hock, which is meltingly tender, juicy slices of sweet roasted apple, as well crunch and texture from roasted hazelnuts and black quinoa, lifted with herbacious parsley. The final appetiser on this visit was trimmed spears of al dente asparagus with gently oozing soft egg, sweetly acidic balsamic shallots and smooth goat's curd.
The main dish moved us into the festive season with roast chicken stuffed with shiitake, confit garlic and caramelised onion, served with gently roasted whole cherries and a vinaigrette-influenced jus. The chicken is tender and juicy, with the stuffing bringing comforting earthy sweetness. On the side are crunchy roasted potatoes served with caramel and prunes; despite sounding overly sweet it balances well, especially with the gentle acidity of the cherries and jus.
Fitting with the season, and at the end of a generous meal, dessert is strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Beneath such a simple description lies a sublime dish. While they may lack that burst of juiciness that most strawberries give, the Yarra Valley alpine strawberries have an intensity of flavour that puts your standard strawberries to shame. Hard to describe, but delicious to eat, these berries are small but with a soft texture and a rich, smooth, decadent flavour. Accompanied by an unctuous passionfruit curd and vanilla ice cream, this is a perfect end to a wonderful meal.
I can't recommend Union Dining enough as one of those restaurants that always delivers perfect service and food but with no attitude or fuss. This is about unpretentious food that delivers layers of flavour, texture and variety. Their shared Sunday lunch gives you the perfect chance to indulge in a comforting meal with family and friends, knowing that you will leave with fond memories and plans to return.

Snake River Community: Great Neighbors
BINGHAM COUNTY, Idaho - The Snake River School District is getting behind a new theater program for elementary school kids designed to better prepare them for high school musicals.
Eighty children took part in Snake River's production of "The Island of No Return," an original musical written by a Snake River graduate. The production was the idea of director Jana McBride.
"Once they get that experience when they're young, they're gonna be even better in high school, so the thought is if the productions in high school are good, they're gonna be even better if we bring in kids with five years experience," McBride said.
Many great neighbors came together to make this possible, from sets designed as an Eagle Scout project, to young artists building and painting them, to moms and dads working on tickets and fliers, to Wadda farms donating 120 potato boxes for the Aztec temple.
"It's been such a community effort. Everybody's done something and it's involved hundreds and hundreds of people," McBride said.
Leading man Caleb McBride sees how it benefits the young people involved.
"I think it brings them together and it's something they like to do. I really gets them out there and they feel more comfortable around other people - it gives them skills for life," Caleb said.
Corrine Larsen is one of two adults in the play. She's also the assistant director. She sees how a production like this benefits the community as well as the kids.
"When they get up on stage and show them something wonderful like this, I think it's a wonderful thing for the community to see the kids," Larsen said.
Jana McBride hopes this is the start of a new tradition that will be good for the students and adults in the Snake River community.

Gisborne Mayor Meng Foon is urging the community to help police in their hunt for those responsible for the apparent murder of Indian man Amandeep Singh.
Police have yet to conclude formal identification of the body found in scrub at the base of Kaiti Hill, near the city, last Thursday evening.
They believe it is the body of 22-year-old Mr Singh.
Head of Gisborne CIB Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Scott says the identification process is taking time and it is not a process that can be rushed.
"It might take several more days before we are able to say definitely that the body is that of Amandeep Singh," Det Snr Sgt Scott says.
Police completed their scene examination at Kaiti Beach at the weekend.
Det Snr Sgt Scott says he is unable to make further comment on the inquiry at this stage.
Mayor Foon says like everyone in the community, he is concerned about the crime.
"I extend my condolences to the family of Mr Singh.
"I feel so sorry for the victim and for his family.
"It's terrible what has happened. It is a tragic thing that has happened in our community and I encourage everyone to help the police solve the crime.
"There will be people who know what happened to Mr Singh, and I encourage them to come forward and talk to police about it."
Mr Foon says he is sure police will treat their information with the utmost respect and importance.
Members of the Indian community in Gisborne, Mr Singh's friends and his workmates have expressed concern about the apparent murder.
They say they are worried and anxious to know the reason why it has happened.
Mayor Foon reassured the Indian community that the police will do their utmost to solve the crime as soon as possible.
"This sort of thing happens throughout New Zealand and the world every day but it is concerning that it has happened here."
He says members of the community wanted the offenders brought to justice.
"Several have said to me, 'I hope they catch the bastard'."
The council is supporting Ka Pai Kaiti in its appeal for funds to assist the Singh family with their expenses.
Manu Caddie is organising that appeal, which has raised about $800 so far.
"I'm pleased with the response to this point and hope to see further funds come in," Mr Caddie says.

The history of Puerto Rico can be divided into three periods. The first one covers the earliest civilizations that ruled the Island of Boriquén; the second two are framed in the context of the relationship with Spain and the United States. The Hispanic period includes the formative centuries, the 16th and 18th centuries, and the 19th century, which marked the beginning of the modernization process and the emergence of a national consciousness. The third period is the period of United States rule, which began in 1898, and has continued until now. This period is characterized, among other things, by a bittersweet relationship between the colonial power and a people struggling for political equality and socioeconomic development, while defending their own culture.
Puerto Rico has a rich and complex history, in which there has been change and continuity and affirmation and contradiction. There are five salient features that can be used to draw a profile of this evolutionary process: 1) the strategic value of the island, 2) economic subordination, 3) migratory movements, 4) the prevalent autonomist philosophy, and 5) the existence of a cultural nation that acts as a counterweight to the absence of political sovereignty.
A strategic stronghold
Puerto Rico's geographic location in the West Indian archipelago destined the island to a frontier role since the time of the earliest Amerindian settlers. Conquered and colonized by Spain since 1508, at first the island was used as a base for further exploration, sharing with the other Greater Antilles the role of springboard and a place for acclimatization before adventures were undertaken on the continent. The island also served as a barrier against any offensive launched by the first settlers from the Lesser Antilles and as a center for defensive operations in the confrontations against them. The hostilities in the Caribbean increased with the appearance of the European nations who were Spain's rivals.
This threatening atmosphere defined Puerto Rico's position in the Spanish empire and the manner in which it was governed. Because of the Island's strategic importance, after several unsuccessful attempts at different civilian political structures, the military government under a Captain General prevailed. The highest political position, the civilian governorship and the highest military position, that of the Captain General, were held by the same person, with very few exceptions, from 1583 until 1898, when the autonomous regime was established. Political power was subordinate to the military.
Puerto Rico was a military base of the first order for 400 years, and as such, it was part of the military defenses of the gateway to the empire. There were various military and paramilitary forces on the Island, and during the wars of independence waged by the Spanish colonies during the 19th century, Puerto Rico was used to further the interests of the colonial power. The ultimate expression of its military condition can be appreciated in the capital, San Juan, one of the most important walled and fortified bastions in Spanish America.

I plan on building a portfolio and gaining experience to someday seek whatever avenues modeling will take me.
I have some experience with both indoor and outdoor shots ranging from swimwear to fashion. I have had the pleasure of learning the basics and hope to gain more with each shoot I do.

NFL Kickoff: Week 6 Buzz, headlines, and picks
Excerpt: "Here's a look at the top storylines and big matchups from around the nation as we near kickoff on another Sunday of NFL football:
In a rematch of last year's NFC Championship game, the Giants travel to San Francisco Sunday to take on the 49ers. The revenge factor should provide the 49ers with plenty of motivation, while the Giants will be out to prove that their Super Bowl berth was no fluke.
CBSSports.com Senior NFL Columnist Clark Judge writes that Sunday's rematch gives the 49ers an opportunity to prove something not only to the Giants, but also to the rest of the NFL:It's San Francisco's chance to prove that it is the best team out there, period.
I know I haven't seen anyone better. Granted, the 49ers lost at Minnesota. It happens. Sometimes you take one step back to go two steps forward, and all I know is that after that loss the 49ers outscored their next two opponents 79-3 and have the attention of Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
As for the Giants, they're embracing the role of underdog. Head coach Tom Coughlin has the defending champs using the lack of respect as motivation: (via NJ.com)
"Nobody gives us a chance to win," Coughlin said. "We'll see."
Giants wide receiver Domenik Hixon expressed similar sentiments:
"You kind of expect it," he said. "We've heard, 'You're lucky you won the Super Bowl,' to other things for last year, which is fine. None of that matters come Sunday."

The Big Buzz: Battle by the Bay
http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2...l#incart_riverGiants' Gameday:
Excerpt: "3 MATCHUPS TO WATCH
1. Victor Cruz vs. Carlos Rogers
Since his emergence last season, Victor Cruz has attracted plenty of public shots from opponents. The first can be traced to Week 10 in San Francisco. That was when Carlos Rogers intercepted an Eli Manning pass intended for Cruz and proceeded to perform his own rendition of the salsa. The 49ers went on to win, but Cruz exacted revenge in the NFC Championship game. By halftime, Cruz had eight catches for 125 yards — almost entirely in single coverage against Rogers in the slot. The 49ers sent Rogers help in the second half and Cruz finished with 10 receptions for 142 yards in the Giants' win. Cruz expects to face Rogers for much of today's game. The question now is will Rogers perform the salsa again? Early in the week, he said if he makes a big play he would. But he backed off later in the week when he was told the dance honors Cruz's now-late grandmother. We shall see." Read more...
Eli Manning has become a master at making adjustments for Giants
Excerpt: "The play was not in the Giants' game plan for the NFC Championship round, at least not in the form that it was run. Nor had they practiced it the week before the game.
But without Eli Manning's 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham at Candlestick Park last January, the Giants may never have made Super Bowl XLVI history.
"I drew it up on the sidelines," offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride recalled proudly last week.
Then he trusted Manning to do the rest: Make the correct read, fire a perfect throw and convert a third-and-15 into a fourth-quarter lead in an elimination contest against the Niners that the Giants would go on to win in overtime." Read more...
Giants' Mark Herzlich has special connection to Tom Coughlin's Jay Fund charity
Excerpt: "For Mark Herzlich, the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund's eighth annual Champions for Children Gala in Manhattan had a little different meaning than for most.
Herzlich went to Boston College, where Jay McGillis, a safety, played under Tom Coughlin in the early 1990s. As soon as he arrived at the school in Chestnut Hill, Mass. he heard the stories about McGillis' valiant eight-month fight with leukemia before dying in 1992.
And when Herzlich himself was diagnosed with cancer – Ewing's sarcoma -- following his junior season, the connection deepened and their stories similar.
"When I was diagnosed with cancer, I realized what it meant to have a team, a community, a coach have my back and have that support and that's something that Jay felt as well," Herzlich said as Giants teammates and coaches filed in for the event. "I think that I won my battle with cancer and that has to do because maybe it was 10, 15 years later. The medicine was better, but Jay battled and had that fight in him as well. It's nice just in honor of him and it's really because of him and his fight and his family and his coach that this is all happening." Read more...
49ers QB evolves from bust to NFL's top rated passer
Excerpt: "Alex Smith can still remember, even if he tries to avoid doing so.
It was about this time two years ago that Smith, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, walked off the.
Candlestick Park field after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and heard a rowdy crowd calling for his head.
"We want Carr!" rose from the belly of the Stadium, a reference to then Niners backup David Carr.
"Seems like a long time ago, longer than two years ago for sure," Smith said. "Yeah, a long time ago, it seems like."Read more...
Giants out to flash their Super Bowl rings in rematch with mighty San Francisco 49ers
Excerpt: "The San Francisco 49ers have been waiting for this, ever since Lawrence Tynes' overtime field goal sailed through the uprights in overtime of last season's NFC Championship Game. It was a game they said they let "slip through our fingers." It was a Super Bowl trip they felt "we should have had."
They seem perfectly primed for revenge too after dismantling their opponents the last two weeks. They roll into this game having beaten the Jets and Bills by a combined score of 79-3, looking dominant enough to convince everyone they're one of the best teams in the NFC."
They are," said Giants left tackle Will Beatty. "But they haven't played us yet." Read more...
War of words between Giants and 49ers now a battle for respect by the Bay
Excerpt: "Victor Cruz was handed a piece of paper last week with the quote from 49ers safety Donte Whitner over the summer that added him to the group of players who have discredited the Giants amazing Super Bowl run last season.
Whitner had listed the Saints and Packers as the 49ers' main competition in the playoffs and once the Niners beat New Orleans and the Giants beat Green Bay, he felt the NFC title game was "ours to lose."
That's what happened. They lost.
The Giants have enormous pride, and by now, they are tired of hearing from Clay Matthews, Whitner and others about how the wrong team won the Super Bowl. Earlier in the offseason, Whitner said he felt the 49ers outplayed the Giants in the NFL Championship Game and would have beaten the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
"The best team won the Super Bowl last year," Cruz said. "I have my ring at home to prove it."Playbook: 49ers eager for a Giants' rematch

RB Frank Gore vs. MLB Chase Blackburn and Giants run defense
The 49ers' running game is the best in the league (195.8 ypg, 6.1 ypc), allowing QB Alex Smith to pick his spots and avoid tough throws. It's straight power and it accomplishes the dual purpose of slowing down the Giants' biggest strength up front, their pass rush. Gore, who is spelled by Kevin Hunter, is a relentless downhill runner with great vision and cutback ability who utilizes his zone blocking very well." Read more...
Big Blue aim to cool red-hot San-Fran in rematch
Excerpt: "Here we are again, the Giants on the road for a game they cannot win. Or probably cannot win. Or might not win. Or won't lose.
It goes round and round with these Giants, who under coach Tom Coughlin have often been at their best in such potentially daunting situations. At New England last season. At Pittsburgh in 2008. At everywhere in the 2007 playoffs. Most of the truly memorable moments in fashioning two Super Bowl triumphs have come in hostile territory, including last January's epic 20-17 overtime victory at Candlestick Park in the NFC Championship." Read more...
Jacquian Williams hopes history repeats itself
Excerpt: "Jacquian Williams says he is not quite sure how he will feel walking onto the field today at Candlestick Park, site of his game-changing play in last year's NFC Championship.
"I'm curious now how I will feel going out there understanding what took place there my rookie year,'' Williams said.
It was Williams who reached out and forced a fumble on punt returner Kyle Williams to provide the Giants with the momentum-swing needed in the overtime classic. The Giants got the ball on the 49ers' 24-yard line and before long Lawrence Tynes was kicking them into Super Bowl XLVI." Read more...
Eli it too tough to rough up
Excerpt: "he 49ers kept coming at Eli Manning, the last quarterback standing between them and the Super Bowl. They kept beating him up and knocking him down, and he kept getting up, kept trying to win the game.
All of a sudden, No. 10 might as well have been wearing No. 11, might as well have been Phil Simms facemask-to-facemask with Ronnie Lott, and no one will be surprised today if Manning, without having to utter a single word, sends his defiant "Go ahead, make my day" message to the 49ers predators lusting for payback.
Manning, standing in there the way he did in that vicious NFC Championship game, taking a licking and keeping on ticking, was all the evidence you needed that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, because father Archie was subjected to a career of these kind of beatings, mostly with the Saints.
"Go back and watch the game — you don't need me to tell you an example. ... It's like 95 of 'em," Justin Tuck said.
One stood out.
"It was a play where I saw him get up, and literally had to wipe mud out of his facemask." Tuck chuckled, and added, "As he was walking back to the line of scrimmage, one of the O-linemen fixed his jersey and put the pads back in his jersey, kinda straightened out his mouthpiece and went right back in the huddle, and I think the next play he completed like this third-and-8 pass for a first down to keep the drive moving. That's one of the memories that I have of that game." Read more...
Giants' Matchup: 49ers have a good memory
Excerpt: "At Candlestick Park, Today, 4:25 p.m.; TV: Ch. 5; Radio: WFAN-AM 660; Line: 49ers by 6 1/2[
What's at stake
Giants: A telling three-game gauntlet that includes consecutive NFC East games begins at the place where last season's team experienced one of its biggest thrills. The Giants are one of the NFC's best teams on paper, and this is another chance to show that potential can translate to the field following their Super Bowl-winning campaign of a year ago.
49ers: San Francisco feels as if it gave away a chance at the Super Bowl with a pair of crucial turnovers by Kyle Wilson in the Giants' 20-17 overtime victory in last year's NFC title game. Some players have suggested the Giants are wearing San Francisco's rings, which does not sit well on the other side. The 49ers appear to be significantly more diverse on offense this season after splitting two games on their home field with the eventual Super Bowl champs. Former Giants Mario Manningham and Brandon Jacobs will get the opportunity to reunite with their ex-teammates, but only Manningham is a lock to play as Jacobs (knee) likely will be a game-time decision."

Matchup: Giants (3-2) @ Niners (4-1)
Excerpt: "MATCHUP to watch
49ers' Aldon Smith vs. Giants' offensive line
Eli Manning was knocked down often in the last meeting between these teams, and containing Smith will be the key if the Giants hope to avoid a similarly difficult day for Manning. Smith is a consistent threat on the edge and leads the 49ers with four and a half sacks this season." Read more...
Giants' Osi Umenyiora opens up and looks beyond the next sack
Excerpt: "One day last week, the Giants' defensive linemen were discussing money in their meeting room at the team's training center. Several players had watched a television documentary about seemingly flush athletes going broke after their careers ended, and a casual conversation quickly turned more passionate.SITE LINK
At one point, defensive tackle Marvin Austin recalled, it was as if Osi Umenyiora were in church. Umenyiora, a veteran defensive end, was confessor and preacher — first telling his teammates about all the mistakes he had made over the years, then imploring them to listen closely so they would never suffer the same fate. Umenyiora locked eyes with Austin, a second-year player, to emphasize his point; he turned to be sure the young star Jason Pierre-Paul could hear him." Read more...

Michael Strahan holds one hour private meeting with D line
Excerpt: "Defensive end and future NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan may have retired following the 2007 season, but he's made himself no stranger to the team over the last five years. And no, not just because he's had a sitcom and hosted several television shows since then, but because he often makes it a point to show his face around the Timex Performance Center and/or MetLife Stadium.
As the New York Giants prepared for a cross-country trip to California where they'll take on the San Francisco 49ers in week six, Strahan made one of his annual appearances. And although it was FOX Sports that likely sent him on this journey for a FOX NFL Sunday segment, Strahan took advantage of the trip and held a private one hour meeting with Big Blue's defensive line."

Giants vs 49ers: Insider Report
Excerpt: "Like we've been doing this season, we reached out to the guys over at49ers101.com in advance of the big matchup between NFC powerhouses. As the New York Giants roll west to face the San Francisco 49ers, let's hear what Mark Ortiz over at 49ers101.com has to say about this week's matchup.
We've seen our Giants start to get something going in the running game…but is going up against a unit like the 49ers front seven a lost cause?In all the 49ers wins, the opponent has given up on the run. But in the loss to the Vikings, the Vikings continued to pound the ball on the ground. Their commitment to run opened up the entire offense. They had the 49ers linebackers biting on nearly every play action pass thanks to their commitment. The Giants should stick with the run, in the long run it will pay off. Maybe not the first quarter or first half, but they will see dividends later in the game.That's probably music to the ears of Giants fans, who have been known to criticize Tom Coughlin and Kevin Gilbride's commitment to the run, even when it's clearly not working. We'll see if we can remember this one if Ahmad Bradshaw is running into brick walls in the first half." Read more...
Giants' Eli Manning's once criticized demeanor now looked at as a warrior mentality
Excerpt: "The eyes of a diehard New York Giants fan don't lie. Quarterback Eli Manningis just about where he should be. Most forget he's human and does err. Abhorrence, jealousy and fear cloud others true analysis of him. It doesn't seem to affect the veteran who is in his 9th season and that, perhaps, is one of his strongest qualities.
In January of this year, during the NFC Championship game, the captain of the Giants' offense was attacked in every possible way by the San Francisco 49ers defense that sacked him six times and hit him relentlessly. The game was no doubt the definition of a throwback slobber-knocker.''That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoyfootball at its very basic element,'' said coach Tom Coughlin. ''Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately, we were able to do that.'' Read more...SITE LINK

Peter King's Week 6 Picks
Excerpt: "New York Giants (3-2) at San Francisco 49ers (4-1)
Eli Manning's 24-5 in October, and anyone who thinks that can't continue against the hottest team in football is nuts. I watched Manning in Candlestick last January play as well as a battered quarterback could play, keeping the Giants in a game they had no business winning -- and though I like the Niners here, I don't think it'll be a rout. San Francisco has too many weapons for a battered secondary to shut down. This time, it won't come down to a muffed punt.
Niners 24 Giants 17
Stock Watch: O Line up
Excerpt: "Before we get to the NFC title game rematch, let's take a look at who's streaking and who's slumping a bit heading into the game.
As you guys know, I'm an old-school music fan and name my categories after songs.
In honor of being back in California, we'll go with some West Coast rap for this week -- Ice Cube for streaking and Tupac for slumping.
"IT WAS A GOOD DAY" (streaking)
Ahmad Bradshaw: Bradshaw tops the list with a career-high 200 yards rushing against Cleveland. He won't find the same room against San Francisco's defense. But he is running hard and even 70-80 yards would be beneficial for the Giants on Sunday.
Offensive line: The line not only opened huge holes for Bradshaw -- rookie David Wilsonalso scored his first career touchdown on a 40-yard run. And the Giants' line protected Eli Manning yet again. Manning has only been sacked once since going down three times against Dallas in the season opener. David Diehl likely will be available on Sunday since he made the trip to SF.
Victor Cruz: Three salsas in one game means Cruz is on fire. And now he faces Carlos Rogers and the Niners. Cruz had 10 receptions for 142 yards in the NFC Championship Game against Rogers. By halftime, Cruz had eight catches for 125 yards." Read more...
Coach's Big Decision: Contain Davis
Excerpt: "Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said Thursday he likes linebacker Jacquain Williams' ability to match up with San Francisco 49ers elite tight endVernon Davis.
But when asked about covering Davis on Friday, Williams responded, "that's not my role."
Regardless, the key to a Giants' victory this Sunday in San Francisco will likely be containing (since you can't stop) Davis -- and it's up to Fewell to figure out how to do so.
In last season's NFC title game, Davis torched the Giants for 112 yards and two touchdowns, but Big Blue was still able to prevail. The 28-year-old is coming off a season-high 106-yard receiving effort against the Buffalo Bills last week.
The Giants have had success covering tight ends in 2012. Only Carolina's Greg Olsen has gone off -- snagging seven passes for 98 yards in Week 3." Read more...

At the end of December 2011, I wrote about the top ten tech market events of 2011. Last Friday, we published our global tech market forecasts for 2012 and 2013 (see January 6, 2012, "Global Tech Market Outlook For 2012 And 2013 — Eight Themes Will Shape Vendors' Prospects Over The Next Two Years") . With that report now live, I would like to share the top ten things that I will be monitoring in 2012 because of their potential impacts on how the tech market will perform in 2012. Some of these things are macroeconomic developments that could hurt or help tech market demand. Others are supply-side or vendor-related events or trends that will define winners and losers in whatever tech demand does emerge. As with my top ten 2011 tech market events, these are counted down in reverse order of importance:

Name: Lauren
Name of blog: Cravings Gone Clean
Twitter: @CravingsGoClean
Location: Toronto
Describe your culinary style.
My style is pretty improvisational, writing a blog has been great because it forces me to keep track of what I do. I try to be inventive, whether it's using an unconventional combination of ingredients or making something more traditional using unexpected ingredients. I think this all stems from my desire to health-ify everything–you've gotta get creative!
What is the main source of inspiration for your recipes?
Amazing taste is the priority, but it's also very important for my food to be functional, whether it's a nutrient dense salad that keeps well for a week of lunches, or decadent dessert packed with fiber. I love to indulge, but I try to make everything have a purpose health-wise. I'm actually studying to be a nutritionist, so I try to bring that knowledge into my recipe creation.
If you could have one food while stranded on a desert island, what would it be?
I think my Key Lime Pie Smoothie would be good. It's sweet and refreshing, which would be satisfying, but also hides a bunch of spinach! Gotta eat my greens on a desert island.
For someone new to your blog, which recipe do you recommend they try first?
Here are some of my favorites:
- Healthy Pad Thai
- Double Chocolate Pancakes with Salted Peanut Butter Syrup.
- Veggie Pasta with Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce (We eat this for dinner at least once a week.)
- No-Bake Sweet and Salty Squares (These are super easy and very addictive.)
What is your ultimate guilty food pleasure?
Lately I'm addicted to those self-serve froyo places. Froyo isn't the worst thing you can eat, but it can have a lot more sugar than you'd guess…and it is easy to get a little too enthusiastic with the toppings! They also give you dangerously large cups.
Define Yummly.
Good for you without compromising on taste in any way. Decadent tasting and shockingly healthy.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's Former Mistress Sues Him for $12K in Back Child Support
Rev. Jesse Jackson's Former Mistress Sues Him for $12K in Back Child Support
We are so disheartened by the continual scandal that follows this man. We are not trying to judge but things are coming to haunt men because in the early days he alleged lived a double life. The bad part about it all is he didn't just damage his image as a political leader but more importantly his image as a man of God. Like many ministers/civil rights leaders, Jackson needed to know that all of his indiscretions would be laid in front of the church and the people he promised to serve.
Here's the report on the lawsuit against him:
The mother of JESSE JACKSON's love child is blasting him as a deadbeat dad for falling behind on child support payments!
In official documents filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The ENQUIRER, Karin Stanford claims the 70-year-old famed civil rights leader owes $11,694.50 for their daughter Ashley, now 12.
Stanford was a top aide with Jackson's Rainbow PUSHCoalition, and The ENQUIRER exposed their long-term extramarital affair in a bombshell world exclusive in January 2001.
After admitting paternity, the former Democratic presidential hopeful paid court-ordered support and regularly visited Ashley at Stanford's California home for the past decade.
But according to the court documents, Jackson – who's remained married to wife Jackie – failed to pay support from December 2010 until August 2011, including minimal monthly fees of $400.
"Karin has tried so many times to work with Jesse on their financial agreement," a source told The ENQUIRER. "But he was only paying when he felt like it, so she's taking him to court."
Note: Though the source that obtained the records is a tabloid, the facts in the case appear to be true according to the LA Superior Court court documents filed.

We want to be fair and say that any woman that will sleep with a married man of God and have his child out of wedlock, there's an issue here as well. We as women have to hold ourselves to higher standards and say no just like the man because the bad choices reflect back on us too. Sometimes we suffer in these kind of instances because we did not make the wise and righteous choice at the time.
Hello, ladies: IF he is not your man, stay away from him. Trouble lurks ahead!

The Secret Garden HTML version
Dr. Craven had been waiting some time at the house when they returned to it. He had
indeed begun to wonder if it might not be wise to send some one out to explore the
garden paths. When Colin was brought back to his room the poor man looked him over
"You should not have stayed so long," he said. "You must not overexert yourself."
"I am not tired at all," said Colin. "It has made me well. Tomorrow I am going out in the
morning as well as in the afternoon."
"I am not sure that I can allow it," answered Dr. Craven. "I am afraid it would not be
"It would not be wise to try to stop me," said Colin quite seriously. "I am going."
Even Mary had found out that one of Colin's chief peculiarities was that he did not know
in the least what a rude little brute he was with his way of ordering people about. He had
lived on a sort of desert island all his life and as he had been the king of it he had made
his own manners and had had no one to compare himself with. Mary had indeed been
rather like him herself and since she had been at Misselthwaite had gradually discovered
that her own manners had not been of the kind which is usual or popular. Having made
this discovery she naturally thought it of enough interest to communicate to Colin. So she
sat and looked at him curiously for a few minutes after Dr. Craven had gone. She wanted
to make him ask her why she was doing it and of course she did.
"What are you looking at me for?" he said.
"I'm thinking that I am rather sorry for Dr. Craven."
"So am I," said Colin calmly, but not without an air of some satisfaction. "He won't get
Misselthwaite at all now I'm not going to die."
"I'm sorry for him because of that, of course," said Mary, "but I was thinking just then
that it must have been very horrid to have had to be polite for ten years to a boy who was
always rude. I would never have done it."
"Am I rude?" Colin inquired undisturbedly.
"If you had been his own boy and he had been a slapping sort of man," said Mary, "he
would have slapped you."
"But he daren't," said Colin.

Dean's Message
Could you picture yourself in a remote village in Ghana, immersed in a culture foreign to you and helping a mother deliver her child? Now imagine a famous professional athlete as he sprints on a treadmill, with you standing beside him to measure his lung capacity. Envision a room full of children in the heart of Jacksonville's impoverished urban core, listening intently as you teach them about the importance of hand washing – lessons they desperately need to hear.These experiences are not fiction. Students in the Brooks College of Health (BCH) have had these opportunities – and more – as a result of our understanding that students' education bears more impact through transformational learning opportunities.
The University of North Florida Brooks College of Health prides itself as being a leader in the preparation of the highest quality health care professionals dedicated to serving the community. For this reason, the College is continually working to provide specialized programming in a wide range of health care fields. Currently, the Brooks College of Health offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing as well as an RN-BSN program for registered nurses desiring to further their education. We also offer bachelor's degrees in Public Health, Exercise Physiology, Health Administration, Athletic Training and Nutrition.
Our graduate programs include a Master's degree in Nursing, Public Health, Health Administration, Mental Health Counseling, Exercise Science, Geriatric Management, and Nutrition. We also offer three doctoral degrees: a Doctorate of Nursing Practice, a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, and a Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition.
An integral part of each of these outstanding programs is the emphasis on quality time in clinical settings and laboratories, the use of the most up-to-date technologies, innovative faculty and student research, and the opportunity for hands-on learning experiences. Of course, all of these diverse programs and learning opportunities are directed and enhanced by our outstanding faculty.
The name, Brooks College of Health, comes with great appreciation to the Brooks Health System. Because of their extreme generosity, our College offers scholarships and professorships which support our students and faculty members. This gift makes a huge difference in our ability to respond to students, faculty and community needs. Additionally, many of our students have the opportunity to intern in a variety of departments at Brooks Health. As Dean of the Brooks College of Health, I am proud that so many health care leaders belong to the BCH Dean's Council. We have many strong partnerships with local health care organizations, providers, payors, health-related companies, and health care advocates. We work together to enhance our student's education.
Since our inception in 1988, the Brooks College of Health has strived to play an integral part in the mission and vision of UNF by ensuring depth and quality in our graduate and undergraduate programs. Today, you will find few colleges who match our dedication to student success and our emphasis on excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and service. We know there is no one like you. We believe there is no place quite like this. While academic rigor and meticulous professional experiences are the hallmarks of an education at the Brooks College of Health, there is very much a culture of caring. I hope you will take some time to learn more about the Brooks College of Health and all that we have to offer.

Donalsonville Sod Farm
We Grow The Following Sod Varieties:
»» GRASS AVAILABLE IN 200 ft 2 ROLLS OR PALLETS ««
Also known as simply "centipede", the popularity of centipede grass as a lawn grass stems primarily from its adaptation to low fertility
conditions and low maintenance requirements. Where properly maintained, centipedegrass exhibits minimal serious pest problems. It is particularly well
suited for the sandy, acid soils of the southeastern United States. It is particularly susceptible, however, to severe iron deficiencies that develop in the
alkaline soils of arid regions. Although slightly more cold tolerant than St.
Augustine grass, extended periods of 5°F or less can kill centipede.
Centipede forms a dense turf and has a relatively growth rate. Centipede requires less mowing than bermuda or St. Augustine grasses and is often called lazy man's grass. According to LSU AgCenter horticulturist Dr. Tom Koske, "If we take too-good care of it, we may 'kill it with kindness,'".
Thatch is very dangerous for centipede, while tall mowing heights are also detrimental to the health of the grass. Centipede grows
well when mowed at 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Always keep in mind the "1/3 rule of cut". This rule states that you shouldn't cut off more than the top third of the leaf. Shorter cuts would obviously require more frequent mowing. Centipede is one of the most drought-sensitive turfgrasses around.
Bermuda is a major turf species for sports fields, lawns, parks, golf courses, and general
utility turfs in the United States. The C. dactylon variety is found primarily in the Southeastern United States. Bermuda grass thrives under extended periods of high temperatures, mild winters, and moderate to
heavy rainfall amounts. Temperature is the main environmental factor that limits its
adaptability to tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Bermuda grass has a high light requirement and does not grow well under low light
(shaded) conditions. I ncreased light intensity and increased daylight hours result in increased leaf
growth in bermudagrass.
Bermuda grass requires irrigation where annual rainfall is below 20 inches per year. It develops into a semidormant state during very dry conditions, but has the capability of surviving extreme droughts. Bermuda grass is ideal for high traffic areas such as sports fields, golf
courses, and playgrounds. Dense bermuda grass turf tolerates compaction and moderate wear quite well and recovers rapidly from wear injury, such as foot traffic areas.
We grow Bermuda Tifway 419, which was developed in 1959 by Dr. Glenn Burton at the Coastal Plain experiment station in Tifton, GA. Bermuda Tifway 419 has been the turf of choice for athletic fields and golf courses in the Southeastern United States since the early to mid 1960's with its biggest factor slowing its national expansion being its susceptiblity to winter damage in extreme cold.
Palmetto® St. Augustine is a new St. Augustine lawn grass. Palmetto exhibits good color retention, dense growth patterns, rapid growth
rates, shade tolerance and disease resistance with few problems.
Palmetto has many advantages.
• ATTRACTIVE — Palmetto's fine texture and dark green color give it an impressive overall appearance.
• VIGOROUS — Palmetto grows rapidly along the soil surface, forming a dense, healthy turf.
• SHADE TOLERANT — Palmetto performs well in moderate shade and has outperformed many other shade-tolerant grasses in many instances. Palmetto also thrives in full sun. Heavy shade, however, should be mulched or planted in ground covers.
• COLD TOLERANT — Palmetto shows considerable cold- and frost-tolerance compared to other St. Augustine varieties.
Seville St. Augustine is a proven shade-tolerant St. Augustine grass. Seville St. Augustine is a semi-dwarf, St. Augustine grass used in residential lawns
throughout the southeastern United States.
Seville has many advantages.
• VIGOROUS — Seville has excellent compact horizontal growth due to its semi-dwarf composition, and it requires less mowing than most grasses. Vericutting (detaching) may be required periodically.
• ATTRACTIVE — Seville's uniform texture, rich dark green color and shorter, narrower leaf blade give it a distinctive plush appearance.
• SHADE TOLERANT — While Seville is proven to be one of the highest-ranked, shade-tolerant St. Augustine grasses, it also grows well in full sun. Heavy shade, however, should be mulched or planted in ground covers.
• COLD TOLERANT — Seville has excellent cold tolerance with good color retention and spring green-up under moderate fertilizer and cultural management.
America's first greatly improved zoysia grass, Empire zoysia grass offers enviable appearance and better performance.
Developed specifically for the unique southeastern environment, EMPIRE zoysia grass meets
the Florida Green Building Coalition's "Green Building" standards. This allows Florida
builders seeking "Green Home Certification" to specify EMPIRE and receive certifying
points. EMPIRE is the only zoysia grass approved by the FGBC with a proven track
record in the state. There are over 20,000 Florida homes already using EMPIRE with
thousands more expected while water conservation remains a top priority in the
Sunshine State.
EMPIRE zoysia grass has been specified in major developments across the state of Florida for its practical advantages. The Villages, Ginn Reunion Resort and Lakewood Ranch chose to go with EMPIRE in an effort to stay on the forefront of environmentally friendly landscaping. EMPIRE zoysia grass needs less water than most lawn grasses, is chinch bug resistant, exhibits early green up, resists weeds, has softer texture, and is of a consisently higher quality when compared to most standard lawn grasses.

During a press conference at Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan, on Monday, Jun 6, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, for the first time, officially confirmed the death of Ilyas Kashmiri in US drone attack on Friday, Jun 3.
"The US has confirmed that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed on Friday," said Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani.
Anyhow, Gilani refused to comment much on the matter. Citing a mobile phone video recorded by a tribesman, which showed several bodies wrapped in white sheets lying in an orchard where the missiles are said to have exploded, Paskistani officials also confirmed Ilyas Kashmiri's death.
Earlier, Pakistan's Interior Rehman Malik said that he was "98 percent sure" about the death of Ilyas Kashmiri.
"All ground intelligence shows that he is dead. What I can say is there is a 98 percent chance he is dead," said Rehman Malik.
The Jihadist group HuJi also confirmed the death news of Kashmiri. The terror outfit said that their leader Kashmiri along with some other members were killed in the US drone attack.

Crossroad Blues
Cephus Miless story is not a happy one. First he has the misfortune of being born black into the Jim Crow-era South. Then his childhood sweetheart marries a career man while away at college. Next he gets drafted into the Vietnam War. He resists and is imprisoned for five years as a draft dodger. Once released, he learns that his farm has been sold and he must take work as a manual laborer. But just as he finds himself homeless on the streets, his luck begins to change. He learns that a mysterious benefactor has purchased his old farm for him. After a 13-year absence, Miles hardly recognizes his now-integrated hometown, appropriately named Crossroads, and he is amazed and a little humbled by the identity of his secret patron. The lesson: Always keep an eye out for a happy ending. Miless story, written by Samm-Art Williams in the play Home, garnered Tony and Drama Desk awards when the Negro Ensemble Company first performed it on Broadway in 1980. This month, local theater company the M Ensemble brings the tale of woe and redemption to the Lightbox Theatre at Goldman Warehouse to celebrate the troupes 40th anniversary. Luther Wells, a Miami native and Florida A&M University theater professor, will direct. See Home this Thursday. Performances run through June 26.
